FALL TERM AT ST. HILDA'S.

st. Hilda's Hall begins its fifth ses-
sion on September 25, 1919 at 8 a. m.
Although a new school in name, it is
the nineteenth year that the building
has been used for educational pur-
poses. The overlooking numbers
and waiting list testify to the need
for such a school, and it brings to
our town from all parts of the coun-
try people who add much to the COM
munitys Already the influence of
St. Hilda's is felt and appreciated by
the whole town and Jefferson County.
The we'll known faculty will be
varied slightly by the addition of
several new members whom we well
come as we do the old. Mrs. Anna
Martin Boyrin, of Montgomery, Ala,
will have charge of the housekeeping.
Mrs. Harriet Lambert Infirmary and
Home department.; Miss Roberta
Adams, a graduate of Stuart Hall
and a full certificate graduate of the
University of Virginia, will be assist
ant to Miss Edmuston, in High math-
ematics and science; Miss Emily Nc
Dowell of Fincastle, Va, A. B. c. and
M. A., of Conourse College, will have
the history department; Miss Viola
Russell, of South Carolina, B. A, and
NJ. A., of Conourse College, will have
the latin department, and Miss Kath-
crime Dent, of Baltimore, graduate
of the Lefevre School, student of
Johns Hopkins, certificated from the
Gregg Shorthand Company, will have
charge of the business and secretarial
course.
St. Hilda's thus offers up-to-date
advantages to all her students whom
she welcomes, old and new.

FLO-FLO

Flo-Flo, John Cort's charming mus
lea comedy, which will be the attrac-
ton at the Empire, Winchester, Va,
on September 10, with an orchestra,
and will be the big musical event of
the season. 1t is fascinating and
rejuvenating play, and full of pep and
go. 1t has it's moments of heart in
terest. 1t appeals to intelligent
theatregoers. That the public has
responded to it is best illustrated in
its career. 1t ran throughout one en-
tire season at the Cort Theatre in
New York and since then has played
in several of the larger cities, includ-
ing Chicago, where it delighted large
audiences for three months. You are
to see the production exactly as it
was presented in New York and Chi
cago and you may be sure that John
Cort has supplied a company of the
highest merit, for that has always
been his way in casting his plays.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure catarrhal deafness
and that is by a constitutional remedy
Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining of
the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
perfect hearing, and when 1t is entirely
closed, Deafness is the result. Unless the
Inflammation can be reduced and this tube
restored to it's normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever. Many cases OF
deafness are caused by catarrh. which is
inflamed condition of the mucous sur
faces. Halls Catarrh Medicine acts thru
the blood on the mucous surfaces of the
system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Catarrhal Deafness that cannot
be cured by Halls Catarrh Medicine. Cir
culars free. All Druggists 75c.
