Stock company and employees of the
Majestic theater, where the company is
playing will donate their services and

will he the play. Roy and L. M. Craw
ford, Topeka theater owners, heartily
endorse the plan
The special matinee will be given
for the benefit of the poor Of the city,
who are N an especial destitute condi-
ton because Of the unusually protract-
ed and severe cold weather

IT CHECKS DISEASE
Publicity Makes Quarantine En-
fOrcement Much Easier.
Physicians Now Hear of Every
Case Of Meningitis.

Dallas. Tex, Jan. 13.-Good effect
of publicity aimed at control of the
spinal meningitis outbreak here be
came apparent today Local papers
have for days published all facts OBJ
tainable about meningitis. This has
developed a public sentiment, physi-
clans say, which compels enforcement
of quarantine and makes cOncealment
of the disease next to impossible
At headquarters established for the
control of the outbreak, diagnosing
physicians are receiving imm ediate no
tice of anything remotely resembling
meningitis The result is that each
case is caught in it's earliest stages and
placed where it can not spread infec-
ton.
Several theatrical companies which
were to tour Texas in the near future
have Cancelled their engagement. This
is due to the small attendance at thea
ters lately because physicians have adj
vised avoidance of public gatherings.

MANY WANT SOUP.
Police Matron, Mrs. sare, Is Having a
Busy Time.

A double quantity of soup was pre-
| pared and disposed of by Mrs. D. Sare,
the police matron in her quarters al
! the police station today. The num-
Der of visitors at her quarters has
| increased so rapidly that it has been
found necessary to increase the
amount of soup each day and also the
number and size of the tables.
The soup tables are becoming more
popular every day. There is a gradual
| increase in the number of applicants
among the destitute forces and also
an increase in the number of persons
who pay for what they get.
The tables which are prepared for
the destitute were crowded to capacity
for several hours Friday and an equal
number were served today. The tables
for those who pay for what they get
netted total of $4.55 Friday and do
nations aggregating S23 were also re-
ceived. These receipts have been re-
ceived in addition to the funds which
have been collected by Mayor ]. B..
Billiard.
Another table which is 25 feet long
was added to the equipment today and
it was in constant use for several
hours This table is located in the cor
ridor of the main floor of the police
station. 1t is believed that the de-
mands of the soup line will be greater
as soon as the weather moderates as
many would not venture out during
the excessive cold weather. This was
the experience OIL the nldLIOn OuIlnS
the early part of the week and before
the recent cold weather come on.
The natrons duties are excessive at
present Two women are busy fitting
out destitute persons with clothing and
two more are employed in the kitchen
while Mrs. Sare is busy experimenting
the entire work. In addition to that
she received assistance from the police
and has one or two trusty prisoners
at her service.
She has received donations of meat
from the Wolff Packing plant which
was used Friday and has been notified
that some more will be donated to the
Several cases of restitution have been
coming in also.
The soup line continues to reveal
cases of restitution which have not
been known heretofore. On account of
this, the police have been directed to
investigate many cases that the ma
iron be relieved as much as possible.
Several cases of restitution has been
discovered by the police while investi-
eating others.
The Fund Is Growing.
The city free soup line fund has
reached $121.5O. Mayor Billiard an
nounces an additional $3.50 since the
list published in the State Journal last
evening.
