Can a beautiful girl be good
after she has once had taste Of
city life. Will she be satisfied
to give up the merry whirl? the
bright lights; the Bohemian
mode Of life to become the wife
of an harvest man? will she be
cortent to wear the plain clothes
of decency after she has worn
the silks and satins Of shame?
ANY Mans Sister the play
that comes to the Bentley Grand
Wednesday, April 18th, answers
these questions and many others
in a very convincing manner.
It fully exemplities the saying
of our Savior, He that is with
out sin among you let him first
cast a stone. AS you sit and
watch the play unfold, as the
story is SO wildly told by a
company of superior actors.
You wonder down in your heart,
is your sister, your daughter,
your sweetheart safe from the
snares that beset every young
girl alone in large city? 1t
teaches kindness and charity,
the need of extending a helping
hand. It shows the error, the
sin, of being to ready to con-
denim.

were of the old style type with
the sanitary conditions that goes
with them. Some of the schools
are unfit for human habitation,
in fact barns in these localities
present better sanitary condi-
ton, than do the schools. Most
OF the rural schools have the up.
per part of the window painted
shut, wells are curbed with ashed
or loose boards, the open pail and
common dipper, and roller towel
prevail generally. Few of the
schools met the sanitary or
health requirements made by the
South Dakota states laws. The
worst school was located in one
OF the most prosperous. townships
IN the county. A general survey
of all rural schools has been made
and is open for inspection at any
time.
The response from both par
ents and children was most en-
couraging. We owe a debt of
gratitude to the medical and
dental profession for their
splendid cooperation during the
past two months. The co-opera-
ton Of the principals and teach
ers in the schools Of Milbank
have very largely contributed to
the success of the work. Hon.
+. l.. Thompson, mayor of the
city, acted as chairman of several
public health meetings and at all
times displayed very keen
public health spirit. The county
superintendent of schools has.
rendered excellent assistance in
the work through the county.
The Little Mothers League of
Milbank, had a membership of
thirty seven and will be con-
tinued under the management of
Miss Minnie Shannon, librarian.
The splendid cooperation on all
sides is deeply appreciated. Work

The principal salts present are

Visits His Old Home

Joe Gfroerer arrived last
week on visit to his mother,
who is in failing health. Joe
was boy in Milbank in the ear
ly days, and learned telegraph
ing in the depot at this place.
He was quite a lively youngster
in those days, and when the
train hands would come in from
their run they used to think it
was the proper thing to carry
Joe out and dump him in the
half filled rain barrels that stood
out behind the old depot, and
the first person he wanted to see
when he commenced to look
around the old town was Char
ley Sutcliffe, whom he wanted to-
thank for having rescued him
several times when the fellows
had gotten him in wrong end to
with his head down, and he was
only able to sound an alarm with
his feet. 1t is now about twenty
five years since these INNER
sions took place; Joe has been
with the Milwaukee company
ever since He is at present
station agent at Chehallis, Wash.
but he got his start in Milbank,
and Notwithstanding the initia-
tory grilling that was given him.
he rather likes the old town still.
