Public School Notes.

The large enthusiastic audiences tina
greeted us on Wednesday and Friday
evenings of last week prove that this
part of school work is a very essentia
part of the real preparation for life
The work is worthy of the support OF
every one in Mineral Point, especially
as this is the only way in which the
training and the expenses for judges,
ETC., can be provided for.
The receipts of Wednesday evening
were $3.50. Is, and Friday evening $3.50.
Expenses to date training $50, ex-
penses for judges SIS So, printing $500,
and some small bills for selections, etc,
The speakers all did exceptionally
well and would have been credit to
the school in any contest, but, of course
there could be but one first place.
On Wednesday evening the judges,
Principal Kircher, Prof. Butler and
Miss Johns of Dodgevile high school,
gave Henrietta Kane first place, jose
phine Hutchinson, second place, and
Helen Mess, third place.
On Friday evening there We're but
two judges as Prof. Gentle of the
Platteville Normal failed in some way
to make connections.
Prof Johnson of platteville Normal
and County Supt. Van Malta gave
Gordon Shepard first place, Ulmont
Helly, second place, and Roy Nc Muir
rough, third place.
Those y;ho were so unfortunate as to
be unable to attend certainly missed
two of the most inspiring and helpful
public meetings that Mineral Point af-
fords its people throughout the year.
Schultz's orchestra very kindly as
sisted on Friday evening Their music
filled a great need while we waited for
the missing Judge, and it was so bright
and snappy that it was enjoyed very
much.
The singing by the high school
students was without exception most
excellent, and the chorus Of more than
60 members was certainly an inspiring
sight.
The League Contest will probably be
held at Darlington the latter part of
April.
Some who have not been in the con-
tests are planning TO 90 in next year.
1t is not too soon to begin looking for
good selections.
Only ten more weeks Of school, Com
mencement Friday morning, June l6.
Rev. Father O'Reilly, Mrs. Plling,
Mrs. Mongold and Mr.. John Knight
were recent visitors. Visitors are all
ways welcome.
Practice for the field meet must be-
gin very soon and be carried on with a
good deal Of earnestness if we expect
to make as good a showing as we did
last year We want another cup boys,
let US go after it.

Beauty Hints

To the Beauty Editor: Can you tell me
OF any harmless way TO Increase the bust?
/ do not want any more flesh on the hips
nat chested would try anything you thought
would give me even two or three inches
more development. ANNA r.
The only thing know of that will de-
velop the bust without increasing the size
OF the hips. or without putting on flesh
where not needed, is a prescription put up
by The Dr. Kelly Co., especially for small
and undeveloped breasts. 1t Is the dlscov-
cry Of a woman physician whose practice
was largely among her own sex and in most
cases increases the bust measure four to six
inches in a month. Send 10c to the Dr. Kelly
Co. Dept. lS2 HA, Buffalo, n. Y, and they
will send you a trial package Of the treat
ment without charge. This Is said to be Of
great value in cases of arrested development
OF the bust and will give a full, beautiful
form without anyone knowing that the treat
ment was used.
Many mothers have told me that after the
baby had been weaned, the breasts became
nabby and shrunken. but the use of Dr.
kelly's prescription made them full and firm.
Do not use pads or bust forms. as they never
look natural and have a bad effect upon the
general health Neither would I recommend
ordinary hesh-builders or tonics as they in
crease the hips and limbs and with the
present styles the form should be slender
everywhere except a generously developed
bust.
To the Beauty Editor:
How can restore the youthful color and
looks of my hair? 1t is getting gray and
streaked and makes me look much older
than I am. Mrs G. P w
Many women ask me for some practical
and safe way to restore the color Of their
hair and my invariable answer is to get
bOc or 500 worth Of Queen gray hair re-
storer from James O'Donnen's or Peoples
Pharmacy. II is perfectly harmless, restores
the hair soft and fuffy and its use cannot
be detected.

COLUMBIA PLAYERS
TO PRESENT JONES'
COMEDY, "THEL|ARS'
Van Buren Will Take Role
Made Famous BY Drew
And Windham.

With A. H. Van Buren in the role made
famous by John Drew in this country
and by Sir Charles Windham in Lon
don, the Columbia Players have III
preparation for next week Henry Ar
thur Jones' brilliant four-act comedy.
THE Liars"
1t is a play that attracted more
than usual interest in this country,
following its run at the Empire Thea
ter in New York. when Mr.. Drew had
in his support company that, among
other well-known artists, included Orrin
Johnson, Arthur Byron. Elizabeth Ty-
rec, Annie Irish, and Isabel Irving
The play derives its name from the
friendly efforts of several well-iaten-
toned people to save a foolish mar
ried woman from the threatened con-
sequences of her indiscretions. This
woman, like many others in real life,
found her excuse in the lack of de-
monstI ativeness of a husband who
she knew loved her, but who displayed
his affection under the mask OF Jeal-
ousy rather than in caresses.
The story Is ingeni0usly conceived and
clearly told, and demonstrates anew the
fact that few contemporaries can COM
pete with Henry Arthur Jones in the
workmanlike construction of a drama
The third act particularly Is said to be
a masterpiece OF genuine comedy.
