CLUB ACTIVITIES
FOR NEAR FUTURE
Coming Events in Club World
Include a Varied List
of Plans.

In offering the following programs
for the free trial matinees for chill
dren, the motion picture committee
of the District Federation wish to
state they have been governed, first
by the limited number OF children's
pictures now on the market: second.
by. the uncertainty of their being at
liberty on the days desired; and,
third, by the technicalfties of the
business, which do not permit all pic
lures to. be booked at all theaters.
The first matinees embrace a wide
variety of subjects for all ages:
where the picture was not entirely
Juvenile, the sentiment has been con-
sidered. A reliable producer being
true to his standards, the committee
will endeavor to teach children to
look for his name.
VIII Strive For Best.
The committee realize that 1t will
not be possible to please everyone
with their selections, and are not en-
tireIy satisfied themselves, but are
endeavoring to create such a demand
for pictures suitable for children that
it will be considered worth while for
the producers to strive for their
standard-the best for the children.

HEALTH QUERIES

Readers.

Interested-I have read with inter
est your article on THE Art of Guess
ing Your Own Ills" and would sug-
gest a few notifications. How do you
explain the fact that patients who
have been treated by good doctors
who fail to bring about results, often
are cured by laymen? have in mind
two friends. one OF whom was troub-
led with his shoulder. After six
months of doctors treatments he
finally went to a bone-setter much
denounced by doctors. and was cured
by him. The other friend injured his
knee and went through much the
same experience. He was finally
cured by a layman, who also remedied
neuritis in my right shoulder.
If, as I think, your account is sub

There are at least three types of this
