THE MATINEE TOMORROW
A Valuable Hint.

The curtain rises promptly every evening
in the Grand Opera House at $3.50 o'clock.
THIS is simple justice to the people who 90
early, and it would be well il all theater-
goers would govern themselves accordingly.
Late Corners not only lose, PERHAPS, the
thread of the play, and consequently car
not have the full enjoyment of the perform
ance, but they Internationally destroy in a
measure the enjoyment Of those already in
attendance by interrupting the attention Of
the house while they are being seated.
This is only a popularity Of country
towns, and never occurs in large cities.
Butte is not a country town, and late at
tendance at public meetings has been out Of
fashion q long time.

Our Daily Bread.

Heavy and sour bread or biscuit have a
| vast influence through the digestive organs
upon the measure of health we enjoy. How
important to our present happiness and
future usefulness the blessingo Of good health
and . sound constitution are. we can only
realize when we have lost them, and when
it is too late to repair the damage. And
yet, notwithstanding these facts, thousands
Of persons in our cities daily jeopardize not
only their health. but their lives, and the
heaIths and lives of others, by using arti-
cles in the preparation of their food the
purity ard healthfulness OF which they
know nothing. Perhaps a few cents may
have been saved, or it may have been more
convenient to obtain the articles used, and
the h~ousekeeper takes the responsibility
and possibly will never know the mischief
that has been wrought. Pater familias
may have spells OF headache, Johnny nay
lose his appetite, susie may look pale; il
SO, the true cause is rarely suspected. The

other cause, is given, and the unwholesome
