The Little Girl Next Door
At Bentley Grand, Tuesday Evening
March 9Th, by Request

Mr.. j. }. Nelson by request of a
number who could lot see this pic
ture on account of the severe storm
when it was shown here last month,
will show same again here Tuesday
evening, March. 9th.
This picture is daring expose of
vice conditions as they existed in
Chicago and several other cities
some time ago. The films were
made by the order Of the Illinois
legislature. which appropriated a
sum of money for the report of it S
vice investigation commission put
into movie form. These same con-
ditions are pictured in The Little
Girl Next Door, which certainly
reveals the truth. There are scenes
in the picture that will make you
wonder how they ever were obtain
ed and that such conditions ever ex-
isteu.
This picture was made to make
folks stop and think, and you will
admit that it serves It's purpose.
This. is not q picture for children
there is absolutely nothing in it
that will appeal to youngster and
the manager Of the theater suggests
that parents ask their boys and
girls not to attend unless accom-
panied by an adult.

The Health Meetings

! The health meeting held at the
High School last Friday night, was
very we'll attended and those who
were able to be present were afford
ed entertainment and instruction
that was both pleasant and profit
able. The following program was
rendered
Music by the High School or
chestra.
Exercise by the fourth grade en-
titled; The common drinking cup.
Health pIaylet by the pupils from
the sixth grade.
Discussion of contagious diseases
from the standpoint of the health
officer. by Doctor Charles F'lett.
Nursing in contagious diseases
by Miss Winters, the Red Cross
health nurse.
The talks by DR.. Flett and Miss
Winters afforded many suggestions
which the average person is per-
haps inclined to overlook in the
matter Of preventing the spread of
disease. Miss Winters took occas-
ion to remark on the fact that an
eastern community would feel dis
graced if smallpox were as prey
alent "a it is in many parts Of
South Dakota She said that this
contagious disease is one that is alb
solutely preventable, and the more
populous districts in the east do
avoid it BY insisting on compulsory
vaccination Of all members Of the
community On the whole, how
ever, Grant County seems to be
rather fortunate, in that, extensive
pidemics Of contagious diseases
have not been common, and both
speakers cited the fact that a
knowledge Of the precautions TO be
taken in these diseases is the best
preventative for the spread. The
| pupils who took part in the playlet
and exercise are to be commend
ed for the interest and enthusiasm
they showed in this work. 1t has
been decided to have the work
which has been given in the first
two meetings by the fourth, fifth
an1 sixth grades repeated for the
meeting to be held this week. The
program ended with the state song,
South Dakota" sung by the High
School Pupils under the direction
of Miss Bublitz.
The program for Friday. March
End will be devoted to the teeth.
DR.. j. w. Ross will have as his
topic, Temporary teeth" Doctor
Goodman, 'The dentist and race
betterment;;' Miss Winters, "The
care of the teeth An additional
feature is possible; Doctor Mittel-
staedt is endeavoring to secure
from the city some illustrated slides
on the teeth and their care, and
these will be shown if a suitable
projecting machine can be had.
Music will be provided so that the
program will offer some variety.
This is the last of the Friday night
health meetings open to the public.
The fourth meeting of the series
will be a mothers meeting.
The work of the health nurse has
been appreciated, especially in some
of the homes where she has been
able to give assistance until anoth-
er nurse could be secured. With
out doubt, the health of the people
in Milbank will be better in the
coming year because of the in
structions which the Red Cross
nurse and these health meetings
have afforded.
Miss Winters is spending some
of this week in Marvin and Twin
Brooks.

SWITCH FROM
 BIT TO BEST
British Slogan Do Your Bit" Is Con- demned as Being Minimum
 of Effort

It has been said. and rightly 80. that tho spirit Of America in 1917 is one Of service. And by the same token, it is very unfortunate thing that in calling our men and women to servo, we have adopted tho British slogan about doing ones bit."
 Dit" to tho American mind con veys the idea Of the minimum i'm stead of the maximum. To do ono's bit. therefore. means doing just as little as one can for ones country doing just enough Co save onc'a COZ science
 But America calls upon an of uo to do a great deal more. It is given an Of us in some way Co serve tho country we love. to aid our land consecratcd by the blood of the fathers. For somo there is the op- portunity Of making the supreme sacrifice in the battle lines or on tho seas. But there are millions of us who will not have this chance to lay the ultimate gift upon the altar of devotion.
 Lacking this. it is up Co each and every one of us to do our very best for our country. IT America calls upon as for money. let us contribute, not our bit. but the very largest sum we can give. lf America calls upon us Co serve in the munition factories or other lines of industry that will help win the war, let us give every ounce Of our energy and strength to the work. IT America calls upon us Co increase the food supply by la- boring on the farms, let us see how much and not how little we can do.
 Only in that way can we begin Co approximate the work done by our soldiers and sailors, by our Red Cross doctors and nurses. We should consider ourselves thc soldiers bacl, Of the soldiers. We fight the enemy when we supply tho money and make the munitions and raise the food and do all the things that are necessary Co be done back home
 Every German is doing his utmost Co win the war. Only by at least cqualling the Germans in devotion Co country can we hope to defeat them. We must beat them by having the most men. the most shells, the most ships, the most food. the most Of everything that is needed in a world war. That means that every ono of us must every day ask him self or herself this question: "In what new ways can l serve America? In what old ways can increase my scryice?"
 And if VIC do this earnestly and honestly. be very sure we will find Che right means Co do our utmost i'm order that our land may be preserved for our children and that the world may be freed from future menace Of the horror which is Chattan- ooga Times.

HIS MEMORY

"Nono of your miracles, doctor" ho
 said, Ease mo blt and report me as
 dead, I vouturcd with death and Two got
 it, guess, And what does it matter year
 moro or less? Don't say that l lived, that my
 wounds might have healed. Just tcll them at home that died
 ou tho field; Just say that you found me face front
 to the fight And send them the letter I started
 last night" He was terribly maimcd; the full
 force of a shell Had shattered his body, and if he got
 well Tho face of his loved one Inc never
 would sec, Nor Che blue of the sky nor thc green
 of tree; And never again would he tol for
 her sake. And never a garden for her would
 Inc make, And never together they'd work and
 they'd plan, lf he lived he would be but Che stump
 of man. Yet his mind remained clear, and it
 seemed that he thought Of the miracles many the surgeons
 had wrought; llc had seen twisted bodies still cher
 ishng breath And finer and sweeter and better
 seemed death. So he said, as the doctor bent over
 his frame: Don't Don't patch me mp. Let
 me go as l came, Don't send me back home just a bur
 den Co be, Let her think of man, when she
 thinks about me-" He died as he wished; thcro was no
 chance tO save This battle torn man from the peace
 of thc grave; And never that woman who loved
 him shall know His memory shrouded in horror and
 woe. She shall think Of him always as
 splendid and fine, As the soldier hc was when he
 marched in tho line. She shall think of him, dying face
 front Co Che fight, And treasure the letter he wrote her
 that night.
