A great program is promised the
people of Decorah. Excellent talent
has been provided for. Lectures,
music and entertainments will make
a profitable week for Chautauqua

The morning hour is one of the
strongest features of the entire pro-
gram. Louise l.. Mcintyre and
Margaret Hall, who were both on
the big Winona Lake Assembly pro-
gram this season, will conduct the
series of lectures and demonstrations
on good health. This is a new and
valuable feature of Chautauqua
work. 1t will be educational and
profitable. 1t is sane and common
sense. These lectures will teach
the simple physiological and hygien-
ic laws that govern the human body.
No person in Decorah can afford to
miss this series of lectures. Margar-
ct Hall will have special charge Of
the course in Home Economics.

children by her interesting and
profitable stories.

a special story of the boy and girl,
home life, etc., will give a series of
afternoon lectures on Human Life
These lectures will be worth the
price of a season ticket. l.. H. Maus
is a strong man. His lectures con-
stitute a satisfactory answer to the
problems involved in the conserva-
tion of the American Home. They
are fascinating, thrilling, and in
spring. Maus discusses our ordinary
homes and the everyday, normal boy
and girl, not the exceptional, abnor-
NAL, deficient, or criminal.
Rev. G.. S. Lakeland is local man
ager of the Home Assembly. He

Never before in the history of De-

popular entertainments been secured
for this city. Pamahasika and His
Pets have appeared on large num-
ber of the best Chautauqua programs
in the state. They have been on the
Waterloo ChautauQua program al
least three times, creating more ia
yorable enthusiasm each time.
1t is a feast of fun, to which the
most fastidious cannot object. II

peals to the finer feeling, lifts from
the careworn mind the weary bur
den of daily toll. The amusement
