Mrs. Catherine A. Hoffman presi-
ded in the Department Of Ciyics.
Mrs. Hoffman has given great atten-
ton and study to the subject Of tu-

civics department of the General Fed
Grafton. She began with a short talk
Of the crusade now in progress
against the white plague, work IN
which the farther she went the great
er the zeal developed, the more ap-
pealing the cause. Mrs. Hoffman
then explained the progress made.
only in recent years has the under
standing Of science been sufficient
to undertake the struggle for health
and against disease. Scientists have
found that we can provide environ
ment that makes health. Tuberculo-
sis is an economic problem. The re-
cent international congress on tuber-
culosis was composed Of scientists
from all nations and from all parts
of our country, students and workers
An the cause. The Federation OF
Women's clubs was represented and
Mrs, Hoffman was there as a delegate
from Kansas.

GRAND OPERA HOUSE
POPULARITY GROWS

II is getting quite common TO smash
records at the Grand Opera House
since il passed under the control OF
the Biiou Circuit Company and adopt
ed vaudeville as its policy. Last night
all records for attendance on a Friday
night were broken. This was equally
true Of the matinee.
This is an indication that the thea
tire is popular and that the Bijou Cir
cult Company Is offering the public
good entertainment.
Tonight fifty box seats have been
reserved for the members Of Hope
Lodge I. o. o. r. and their guests. The
lodge men will have a dinner at a lodge
celebration and in connection with the
ldinner will entertain its guests at tho
Opera House. This is the largest box
party at a local theatre in a long tma
land Is an illustration of the advantage
coming from the remodelling OF tho
theatre. Heretofore it would have been
impossible to accommodate such
party in the boxes on account OF the
small number provided at the theatre
but now several Of such parties could
be entertained on ole evening and
there would be no crowding. II IS eN-
lpeoted that other lodges will entertain
their guests in this way in the future.
Women who use the reception room
at the theatre will be pleased with a
new plan put into effect yesterday. The
room has been equipped with a hand
