The curtain rises on an empty
stage, and bling! herd of stage
cowboys breeze in like a Kansas

The Girl of the Flower Ranch"
which opened last night for this
evening and Sunday. There is
something of plot, a variation in
the musical play idea and the gen.
eraI effect is far better than would
be expected from the title of the
play. frankie Drew is the most
attractive figure in the cast and
there is some good music in her
singing, especially in duets with
Frederick Knights.
e. H. Sothern comes to the Spo-
kane this week for a series of two
performances, commencing Mon
day night. This will rank as the
most important engagement Mr..
Sothern has ever presented here.
as it will see his appearance in
plays, each one of which is con-
lected with the classic history of
the drama. His repertoire for
Monday night is Lord Dundreary"
and Tuesday night Hamlet. ;"
Lord Dundreary" sees the actor in
eccentric comedy. Dundreary is
the leading role in Our American
Cousin" and was first played by
Mr.. Sothern's father in 1858.
Sothern's Hamlet" is given a
place in American drama among
the highest dramatic example of
dramatic art.
General Wallace's powerful
drama Ben Hur" opens an en-
gagement at the Spokane on We'd
nesday evening for four evening
performances and a matinee is to
be given on Saturday. "Ben-Hur"
is the only enduring drama dealing
with the earth-life of Christ. This
fine romance, with all the brilliant
pageantry, the barbarity and in
tense religious enthusiasm of that
period of the worlds history, when
put into dramatic form, raised
wave of admiration from the At
lantic to the Pacific. 1t is crea
ton that touches the intellect and
moves the heart.

A Healthy Persons Needs A
Breakfast.

DR.. Woods Hutchinson, iconoclast-
inordinary to the medical profession,
as usual upsets our previous ideas Of
bodily health in an article of Woman's
Home Companion for August. Doc
tor Hutchinson has a faculty for re-
storing to US our self-respect, and
assuring US that, left alone, we are
not such idiots, after all. In this
particular article, for instance, he
points out that the idea Of eating
little in summertime is a fallacy.
OF breakfast, for instance, he says:
IT is customary to make the
first meal Of the day slightly the
lightest and distinctly the plainest
and simplest Of the three. # there
be any deficiency of the appetite,
breakfast is the meal at which this
is most likely to show itself. But
this lack of appetite is in nine cases
out Of ten traceable to sleeping in
an unventilated room or to late
hours in foul eir the night before, on
to insufficient exercise the preceding
day, and is no Indication that the
body really requires less food at this
time. Perfectly healthy men who
sleep with their windows open and
20 to bed at a reasonable hour will
they tell you that their enjoy break
fast as we'll as any other meal Of the
day and many even call it their best
meal.
Another popular delusion in re-
gard to the lightness and unimpor-
tance Of the breakfast is that wide
~subterfuge, the continental
breakfast consisting Of a cup of
coffee and some fruit or q single roll.
This is a very pretty breakfast as far
as it goes, but it doesn't go far; and
the sole basis for it's adoption on the
continent is that it is only intended
as a temporary tide-over, until the
real breakfast of meat, eggs, fish,
with beer or wine, which is taken at
about ten or eleven o'clock, like a
very early luncheon. # you haven't
got q good appetite for breakfast,
make it your business to go and get
one, instead Of allowing yourself to
be blinded by this morbid state Of
affairs and deciding that all you
really need is a cup Of coffee and a
roll or an orange or a puff Of break
fast-bran."

Where Is She?

An exchange truthfully says: "A
real queen is a girl who looks just as
good in a SO cent wrapper as she
does in a $25 tailor made suit, feels
just as much at home feeding chick
ems as she does playing the piano,
whistles the same tune patching sox
as she does doing fancy work, cooks
just as good meat for the family as
she does for the company, can talk
just as we'll on national topics Of the
day as she can about her neighbors,
and has the same smile on her face
wash days as on Sunday.

State Superintendent Harris Sends Out
NOtlCas Drastic In Rature--Attorney Gen.
aral Rules On Important Matter.

Baton Rouge, July 26.-The fol
lowing important notices were sent
out tonight by State Superintendent
Harris to the parish superintendent
Of Louisiana:
7 have a ruling from the attorney
general to the effect that it will be
legal to require a teacher who holds
q third-rate certificate to take an ex-
animation when applying for a second
grade certificate only in the adj
ditional subjects required for a sec
ond-grade certificate; the teacher
who holds a second grade certificate
may be examined only in the adj
ditional subjects required for a first
grade certificate; and the teacher
holding a first grade certificate, the
additional subjects required for a
State certificate. It will be neces-
sary to have the State Board of Ed
ucation authorize this system of ex-
animation, and at it's next meeting |
shall ask that this action be taken.
] regret that | cannot authorize you
to put the system into practice at
this time, but unfortunately it is inn
possible to secure the authorization
of the State Board before the
August examinations. | feel sure
that you and the teachers Of Che
State will welcome this change in
the examinations. It should result
in ability Of the teachers to raise the
grade of their certificates every year
until the highest grade is reached.
Last fall many teachers employed
from other States to take positions
in Louisiana schools failed to report
for the examination which was held
a few weeks prior to the opening of
the schools, and at the request Of
several Of the superintendent spe-
cial examinations or provisional GER
tificates we're provided to meet
these cases. / wish to call your at
tention to the fact that the general
examination this year will be held
throughout the State on Aug. 26, 27.
and 28, aud it will be absolutely
necessary for teachers who have
been employed from other States
and who do not hold valid Louisiana
certificates to report for this exami-
nation. Their failure to do so will
be equivalent to a cancellation of
their contracts, for | shall not con-
sent to their teaching in the public
schools unless they hold the certif-
cate required by lew and | shall
issue no provisional certificate to
Of this character. It will
be the policy Of this department to
issue no provisional certificates at
all in the future unless cases arise
it is impossible to secure
teachers qualified under our Law.
These are the only cases where a
provisional certificate will be issued
TO bridge over the time until the
next examination"
