GOOD SHOW LAST HALF WEEK
AT THE MURRAY.

Francis Girard, who heads the bill
at the Murray the last half of the
week, displays the most marvellous
strength and ability in that line, be-
ing without a doubt the best heavy
weight juggler ever seen in Rich
mond. In the act he is assisted by a
comedian of ability, one who is ex-
| ceedingly funny.
Clair Walker. a remarkably good
| looking young lady with a number of
classy gowns, put over several good
songs in a manner bound to please.
The Lelliott Bros, comedy musicians
combine some good music and some
great comedy into an act that always
makes good in any house.
Frank Rogers, the colored ventrilo-
quist, with his dummy partners come
in for their share of applause. Mr..
Rogers is the only colored man doing
an act Of this kind and is very clever,
1t being impossible to see his lips
move during the course of the act.

Old People Need

Healthy old age is so absolutely de-

fact is that as age advances the stom-

plenty of exercise, but the latter is
irksome to most elderly people One
thing Is certain, that a state of con-
stipation should always be avoided,
as it is dangerous to life and health.
The best plan is to take a mild lax

But with equal certainty it is suggest

salts and pills be avoided, as they do

She was to have gone shopping with
Mrs. Stevens that afternoon, but she
phoned her that she could not go. By
noon she was almost sick, and yet she
kept on looking. Over and over again
she would search in the same places

CAREFULLY TREAT
CHILDREN'S COLDS

Neglect of children's colds often
lays the foundation of serious lung
trouble in later life. On the other
hand it is harmful to continually dose
delicate little stomachs with internal
medicines or to keep the children al
ways indoors. The ideal way to avoid
colds is to keep plenty of fresh air N
the bedroom and at the first sign Of
trouble apply Vick's "Vap-O-Rub"
Group and Pneumonia Salve over the
throat and chest, covering with a
warm flannel cloth. The body heat
releases antiseptic vapors that are in
hailed all night long, opening the air
passages and healing the inflamed
membrane. In addition Vick's is alb
sorbed through the skin taking out
the soreness and tightness. Vick's
contains no harmful drugs whatever.

gave a pretty artistic effect to the
whole.
In the intermediate grade work
much good taste and painstaking
effort was in evidence in the mount
ing of this neat written work in
dainty decorated booklets and the
cut-out maps also in booklet form
containing lessons that were
equally important whether viewed
as history geography or language.
In this department and IN the
grammar grades the crayon draw
ings were in general very good
and in some instances of real
artistic merit. In the seventh
grade we noticed the new maps OF
Eastern Europe not to be found in
the latest Geography but copied
from current magazines since the
recent Balkan and Turkish war.
The progressive teacher is not
bound by text book, but with
open mind ever alert is seeking
the latest and best to impart to her
pupil. Some of the monthly test
papers and the note books of tbs
higher grades were submitted for
inspection and were very creditable
to the teachers as we'll as students
in point of accuracy and neatness

was the display of needlework by

FITZGERALD SCHOOLS
HAVE FINE EXHIBIT
Great Interest Shown By Patrons

One very good result of such
an exhibit as we had at the High
School last Friday is that of bring
ing the mother and the teacher
into closer and happier relation as
touching their common pride in
the progress of the children.
Froe5el thought the mother was
the ideal teacher, but in our busy
times when the mother must
minister to the material needs of
her enlarged household and her
family, it is a grand thing that we
Lave this system of public schools

and special training may be select
ed from time to time to educate
our children in ways and by means
that are the most progressive and
effective for their all around de-
velopment, whose methods have
been acquired by their fitness.
Expressions of surprise and de-
light were heard on all sides as
mothers discovered at this exhi-
bition what pretty and useful Gre
ations had been evolved by the
little bungling or oftimes meddle'
some fingers of their little Tommies
and Lucies when under the patient
and careful direction of their
teachers.
The nature and quality of the
work shown was exactly what a
visitor might see any day il the
schoolroom but the point is that
the parents do not visit the schools
except when some special effort or
some date is made in this way.
The response in this instance was
especially gratifying.
The line of thought suggesting
the busy work of the first, second
and third grades had usually the
idea of seasons, of anniversary oc-
casions such as Washington's
birthday, Easter, Mayday or OF
