HOSPITAL TAG DAY"

A year has quickly rolled around,
and the Ladies Aid society of Reid
Memorial hospital will again ask the
good people of Richmond and vicinity
to help them carry forward the work
which they have undertaken; the pro-
vince of this society is to supplement
the work of the trustees, and to bring
necessary aid and some beauty into
the service rendered every patient
who enters the hospital, as we'll as to
add to the well-being of the nurses.
The ladies of this society have met
and canned fruit and made jelly, be-
side distributing cans and glasses
through the community for the house
wives of Richmond to fill; they have
had regular monthly meetings as well,
and have done all the necessary sew
ing to keep up the supply of bedding,
towels and surgeons gowns, as we'll
as of linens for the dining tables and
for the trays. That this magnificent
institution is appreciated by the COM
munity, ninety-nine per cent of the
patients who have had it's care, are
it's warmest friends and supporters.
To the ladies of the city we would
say, Don't stand on the outside and
criticize the workings of the institu-
ton, come into the Ladies' Aid society,
get to know intimately what these
hundred or so women are doing, find
out how the hospital is managed, and
get first hand answers to any ques-
tons you may want to ask.
Saturday is tag day; be as liberal
as you dare; the money is urgently
needed, and every dollar will be spent
carefully and where it will do the most
good.

LOCAL CHAUTAUQUA
Will Be EXTENDED
Will Be Held for IS Days
Next Year Reduction
in Profits This Year.

Last evening at a meeting of the
board of directors of the Richmond
Chautauqua it was decided to give a
fifteen day program at the chautauqua
next year. The price of season tick
cts will be the same as heretofore
$3.50 for the entire time to subscrib-
ers and guarantors. The dates of the
1918 chautauqua are from August 18th
to August 31st, inclusive. The
grounds will be open to campers Sat
urday, August 10th.
This change from a ten to a fifteen
day program is a step which many
chautauquas over the country have al
ready taken successfully. and Judging
from the desire for this change ex
pressed by many of the local patrons
during the last session, there is nc
doubt but that the plan will meet with
favor here.
Charles w. Jordan, F. F. Riggs, E
K. Shera, r. B. Jones and Prof. E. P
Trueblood were appointed the pro-
gram committee for next year. They
will commence booking talent at once

$7,003.6S

From this it will be seen that the
net proceeds this year are $546.52 as
against last years $1,500.00. That is
about $4,000 short of last year. The
gate receipts this year were about
$4,000 less than last year and the tai
ent this year cost about 100000 more
than last year. These two items alone
account for the drop in the profits.
The proceeds this year are up to the
average; last year was phenomenal,
due to the appearance of both Bryan
and Cook.

HYPNoTIsM RESTORED VOICE
Nightmare Had Caused Man to Lose
the Power Of Speech for More
Than Four Years.

After being dumb for more than
four years, David Newell Shutter
of III Milton street, Long Island
City, has had his power of speech
restored to him by means of hyp-
notism.
DR.. Alfred J. Fox of 21O Fifty
sixth street, Manhattan, who effected
the cure, declared that Shutters all
ment probably was caused by ner-
vous shock, resulting from night
mare. The doctor examined the
mans throat and became convinced
that there was no organic disorder,
and that it was a case of paralysis
due to shock. He decided, therefore,
that the case. did not require the adj
ministering Of medicine, but that
hypnotism would do more good, and,
accordingly, started to treat the case
along these lines.
After the first treatment, which
was about two months ago, Shutter
showed signs Of improvement, and
has been improving ever since, until
now he has practically the same pow
er of speech that he had before he
became afflicted. As far as tones and
infections are concerned, the case is
cured, but there still remains the
necessity of strengthening the vocal
cords, which have become, SO to
speak, rusty through nonuse.
Dewey County advocate. [volume] (Timber Lake, S.D.) 1910-1913, 1912-02-02

eve don't talk about law and
suits and such things with our neigh
bors now that pas gone," said Mrs.
Perkins, happily. "Come down real
often, Barty. You look as if you
1eeScd a little mothering."
Mans ankle kept her to the couch
in the sitting-rcom for a week or
more. After that she was taken
for long rides in Barty's car, for ex-
ercise, he said, and finally, as the
summer drew to a close, and the
girls talked of leaving, there came a
moonlight ride through the great,
sleeping hill ranges, when Barty told
how he had found conteptment and
happiness for the first time in his
life.
"And I want to ride on like this
forever, sweetheart" he said. "You
and l together, love, all the way, all
the way"
"But we're not like You, Barty,"
said Nan, her sweet face uplifted tc
his. s'After all, we're just home
folks, you know"
II think the angels of God are
home folks" whispered Barty. "nAd
I could swear that they all wear
sunbonnets."
"And pick huckleberries," she
flashed back, as he lifted her hand tc
his lips. The car halted for a few
minutes. "Barty, didn't you really
set that trap for me, really and
truly?"
"Swear it" laughed Barty. 'sBut
I'm mighty glad you got caught in
it all the same. l shall have that
trap dipped in gold, and hung above

good DEAL" Joyce said, kneeling to
examine the hurt. "But I can't get
the trap off, Nan. It's set grmly."
"There comes somebody along the
road" Evelyn cried, and rising, she
let out long call for help, as the
sound Of throbbing motor came
nearer. It was answered, and in a
moment Barty Yeoland came toward
them, crashing down the underbrush
with his booted feet.
While the girls tried to tell what
had happened, Mans lovely head
fell back family, and he bent over
the trap, forcing it open, and releas-
ing the bruised foot.
"On my land, too," he muttered.
"Somebody'll pay for that"
Eve thought you had set it to
catch huckleberry hookers," said
Evelyn demurcly.
''I'm not altogether q brute"
Barty lifted Nan in his arms, and
started toward the road. Then he
stopped short. "You had better
come to my place, as we're near
there. | will phone down to the
village for doctor for Miss"
perkins," prompted Joyce.
"Please may we take our buckle
berry pals too, Mr.. Yeoland ?"
Just then Mans lashes futtered.
She opened them and stared for the
first time up at Barty Yeoland's
face, and his arms unconsciously
frightened their hold on her.
81 would rather go home," she
said family. "Alother will be wor-
RED"
So it happened that for the first
time in nine years Yeoland crossed
his neighbors' threshold. When he
left it was with the request to come
the next day to see how the patient
was.
ut wasn't my trap, I can swear to
that, Mrs. Perkins," he said, sober
ly, 'but it happened on my land,
