Good Show.

The play what happened to the
Devil given under the auspices of the
Presbyterian Ladies Aid Society on last
Tuesday evening, was success both as
play and financially
The work of Miss Olive Kackley of
Chicago, as a coach is always a
guarantee to Hays people of the merits
of a performance.
The members of the cast as a whole
fitted their parts unusually well. It
takes hard and careful practice to
produce play in one week. The cast
deserves much credit for its work.
The proceeds from the play go to the
Presbyterian m anse building fund.

povERfY AND CRIME D&eREAsE
 IN SPOKANE

Reports from Spokane, Washing ton, the metropolis of the Inland Empire" go to show that a very short period Of prohibition is suF- ficieut to register favorable results. The city and country records are au- thority for the following report: At the beginning of March, 1916, the poor farm inmates numbered 1s9, county iail prisoners 54, honor farm II. One year ago the numbers were, poor farm 254, jail prisoners, 11O, honor farm "A.
 In January and February, 1916, arrests for drunkeness numbered 57; disorderly conduct 94; vagrancy 75. For January and February 1915, arrests for drunkenness were 24O, disorderly conduct 14S, va grancy 259. For all Offenses in January and February, 1915, thr were booked 99S names; the same period this year shows 462. Ine Spokane Review, SpOkane's leading daily says:
 The records at the county courthouse net only show that it has cost 5000 less in February this year than it did in February last year to aid the unemployed but show also that the county in stitutions, including the jail and infrmGry, have made big reduc- tions in the number of inmates.
 "R. ". Butler, superintendent of the county infirmary, has cared for. fewer boarders during. the last month, and has served only twent,' four meals to transients during the month. He was obliged to give 200 'handout meals to sojourners in February last year."

present bod> of workers. Then fol- lowed a paper on "The Home; It's
 Artistic Furnishing and Decora-
 tion,H by Mrs. Albeit Reinert, teacher uf Domestic Science. Mrs. ReineTt dealt chiefly with the beau tlful things in a home that are use ful; all decorations should fol- low a scheme of harmony-each room blending in color and furn- ishings with the rest. Walls are generally overcrowded with pie lures hung too high, out of line and not well chosen; theswall pa per in many instances has a figure too large for the size of the room, tho paper for a low ceiling not cor rectIy chosen; paper for a high ceiling with stripes should be avoided. All should be for use in the rooms and all rooms open for the family at all times. The key note was "harmony, harmony" In harmonious surroundings each in- diyidual reflects harmony and the home is home indeed where par ents and children may find comfort and a welcome for the guest. Mrs. Reinert was followed by the Rev. L. II. Pedersen in a talk along the same lines of thought. The mu- sic for 1he occasion was excellent. MT. w. C. Blanchard rendered beautiful vocal solo and generous ly responded with an equally de- lightful encore. MT. A. c. Bone brake accompanied Mir. Blanchard. It is a pleasure to see the interest manlsested in this good work of parents and teachers, and some are asking tNat a study club for grown ups be organized for next year. There w:ll be but one more meet ing of ihe Parent-Teacher assOcia~ ton this scholastic year and let each and everyone turn out and at- tcud an ul make it a big success.

Diseases That Show in
Your Face?

II matters not how little confidence we
may have in our ability as mind readers,
all of US by lifelong practice are face
readers. A considerable part Of our atti-
tUde toward our fellows is determined by
what we see in their faces. Most OF US
have become surprisingly accurate face
readers in regard to moral and emotional
tendencies. And we also read just as
we'll when the face indicates either in
ternal or external disease. The tense,
drawn features, indicating continued pain
from some internal ailment or the break
ing out OF one Of the many skin diseases,
wich speak only too plainly for them
selves, because most, II not ALL skin dis
eases show on the face sooner or later.
Impure, impoverished or impaired blood
are the prime causes OF disease There
