Red Cross Ladies' Entertainment Last
Thursday Evening Pleased All.

The entertainment given by the la
dies of the Red Cross last Thursday
evening at the Porter school was a
success both as an entertainment and
in financial way. Mrs. w. ]. Perk-
ins was the chairman of the commit
tee in charge Of the AFFAIR, and she
secured the services OF Miss Schultz
OF the Crystal Falls high school and
her pupils in their play THE Toy
shop" and the young people certainly
scored hit.
In addition the character dancing
OF Miss Gath, instructor OF physical
culture in the Crystal Falls schools,
was a prominent feature and one that
pleased greatly. Her dancing has not
been equaled in Alpha and numerous
and vigorous encores showed that the
audience appreciated It,
Mrs. Thompson OF Escanaba, and
Mrs. s. J. Perkins OF Norway were
more outsiders that helped out with
the evenings entertainment, Mrs
Thompson with splendid vocal solo
and Mrs. Perkins with a reading that
was highly enjoyed.

were Mr.. Lemmen, Mrs. Bishop and
Miss Judish and they all pleased the
audience very much.

$500 and the Red Cross ladies think
that showing to be proud OF. Mr..

WATER SHUT OFF.
Break In Service Pipe Drained the
Tank Last Tuesday.

Alpha was without water service
for over twenty-four hours during the
week owing to peculiar accident
that happened TO the pipe near where
connection IS made with the stand
pipe.
A six-inch main serves the tank
and there was run OFF this upright
pipe a service pipe for the Porter
school, the size of the latter being ]
and one-fourth inches. When making
the connection OF the new main with
the standpipe this service pipe be-
came exposed and chunk of dirt fell
upon II and broke 1t. While the pipe
was small there was no way to pulg
the leak and so the water kept run
ming into the pipe ditch until the
tank was entirely drained.
The pumps had to be shut on and
all water supply ceased until the
tank drained and the workmen could
empty the ditch OF the water that
poured into II from the tank. II took
but short time to make the connec-
uon after the way was cleared for II.

II WORKS WELL

a Combination That is Doing an I'M

A superlative. blood-purifying medi-
cine like Hoods Sarsaparilla, taken

No other medicines possess such

They reach the impure, impover-

appetite, aid digestion, purify and
vitalize the blood. give renewed
strength to the whole body, produce
sound natural sleep, and a complete
restoration to good health,-the great
est of all earthly blessings. 1t is said
