A play that created an uproar on
Broadway. alias Jimmy Valen-
tine" has been filmed, featuring the
handsome and versatile Bert Lytell,
showing at the Casino, and 1t con-
tains all the punch that the spoken
drama contained. The picture is one
Of tho best crook pictures seen in
the city, Bert Lytell, who made
such success OF THE Right OF
Way" has again had the opportunity
OF displaying his magnetism.
The story deals with the imprison-
ment and release OF guilty man
from prison. He goes straight and
climbs to the office OF assistant
cashier In middle west bank, where
he falls in love with the bank presi-
dents daughter. The police hound
him until at the end OF the picture,
where the big climax comes, Jimmy
Valentine, wins out.
The photography and art titles are
excellent, and the picture increases
with interest as 1t unwinds the story.
VIOLA Vale, who plays opposite Bert
Lytell, Is good, and the acting OF
Eugene Palette, In the role OF
Jimmy's crook friend, who becomes
night watchman In the bank, could
not be improved. "Alias Jimmy
Valentine" is a picture for everyone
to see, and promises an evening OF
keenest entertainment.

CAUSE OF OPPOSITION.
BOTH CITY HOSPITALS TO
HAVE CONTAGIOUS WARDS
Question Of Supervision and Manage
ment Of County Hospital Entered
Largely Into Consideration of Club
Committee to Not Attempt to Force
Eleetion-Many People Opposed.

The movement launched in the
spring by the Rotary Club to have
abandoned the city pest house" ana
to Gull an election on proposal to
levy a tax for the erection of coun-
~ hospital for contagious disease
has been abandoned, according to
the decision of the club committee
that had the movement in charge,
Several reasons for giving up the eff
fort influenced rhe committee, chief
among them being the opposition in
the county outside the city.
The petitions circulated in the city
were signed by many times the
necessary number but the committee
made no special effort to circulate
the petitions in the country. With
out effort nearly enough signed these
latter petitions TO make them eff
fective, but because of pronounced
feeling at State Center. Melbourne,
and other larger county towns it was
known the opposition would be bit
ter at the election.
Object 70 Being Forced.
There was much feeling in the
country that an effort was being
made to force the county into a hos
pital movement AT the expense OF the
whole county for the special benefit
the fact that the hospital would have
been for the whole county as we'll as
the city.
The promoters recognized that
quite probably the city and favorable
sections OF the county could have
voted the proposal and carried 1t, but
II was not desired to do 80 when
there was pronounced opposition.
Hospitals 10 have Wards.
The question Of proper manage
ment and supervision of a county
hospital was large factor entering
into the decision OF tho COMMITTEES.
It came to realize that without the
bent Of management and control the
hospital would rot be successful re-
gardless of how adequate q hospital
plant was erected.
/ Another influence was the fact
that both hospitals will soon have
isolated wards for contagious dis
eases In the new addition OF St.
Thomas such q ward Is being incl.d-
cd ard when the Deaconess builds
again a. 1t expects to as soon al
building can be done for Z lower
cost, Il, also, will include con-
tageous ward In the addition.

II was a splendid thing when tho fashion
came to take down high board fences
around back yards. Straight way people
began to put their back yards IN order and
to clear away tho rubbish and clutter that
naturally aCcummulates around the kit
chen entrance Of house. OF course the
people who are most affected by an un-
tidy back ward and cluttored kitchen
entrance are the people who live within
the house but some housewives had TO
have the thought that neighbors could see
this disorder and clutter before they We're
sufficiently inspired TO put things IN apple
PIE order. Now in neighhorhoods that
have been built up since the passing of
the high back fence you viii find back
doors that are almost as orderly as are
the front entrances.
But here and there especially where
houses are far apart, you viii find dis
orderly kitchen entrance. How If 1T with

One of the chief causes for the disorrlerly
back yard is not having proper place for
things inside. The old time woodshed WAS
a real boon to the country house because
it furnished place 10 keep piles Of kindllng
wood, kerosene oil cans, tools and such
things that ally out of place IN the
kitchen. Some people get INTO the habit
of keeping mops and brooms and cleaning
cloths on their back porches. IL you have

which 10 kee cleaning equipment pals,
brooms, mops, etc, then you need not
keep them at the kitchen doorway.

closet should have floor cement. 1t is
not a difficult task TO put this cement

good idea to have an additional little

other paraphernalia as you may have TO

LETTERS OF TESSIE AND JOE

as intelligent as your maternal partiality
appears TO make you seem to think, why
he will appreciate the gift if he is still too
fiat on his back to make use of it. Expec-
tation is the best part of everything any
way, because In expectation you can go
as far as you like and the bumps are all to

soon as the waiter eased it off his tray

already extracted all the enjoyment out
of it. No good meal was ever served
with flock of little side dishes. Tessie.

or the dogs to see, even at distance"
"Oh. they keep at distance from
me, you may be sure" laughed jim
mie Skunk. II am not afraid of any
thing"
Mr.. Fox thought he was conceited
youngster, but he was not prepared to
hear how conceited when Jimmie said
My father always told me and my
brothers never to move out of the path
for anyone, but to keep right on and
let the other fellow turn out.
"He told you to run, suppose" said
Mr.. Fox, with a chuckle.
Rum" said Jimmie. None of our
family run fol anybody. and we never
hurry, either We take our time, no
matter who is around"
We'll, OF all the conceited young
fellows" thought MIR. Fox, this one
beats all ever met must take some
of it out Of him. Somebody will need
to, and ! may as well do 1t.
Then he said aloud:
do YOU mean to tell, me Mr.. Skunk,
that you are not af.aid of Mr.. Man or
Mr.. Dog, and that you would not run
from them p
Il certainly do" replied Jimmie. 81
forget it."
This was too much for Mr.. Fox, and
he determined that very night to have
the laugh ON Jimmie Skunk, but, alas
for Mr.. Fox and his plan, as you will
see when you read the rest of this story.
That night when it was dark enough
Mr.. Fox ran out of the house and hid
down the road where the trees grew
thick and shaded. and there he waited
for Jimmie Skunk to come along, as
he had told him he intended TO do.
Mr.. Fox was so full of laugh at the
though of how he would frighten Jim
ME that he could hardly keep still, for
he intended to jump out In the road as
Jimmie came along and frighten hun
and then poke fun at him for telling how
brave he was.
He will be sure to think / am Mr..
Dog in the shade of the trees, and |
shall take some of the conceit out of
him, guess, thought Mr.. Fox and
Just then along came Jimmie, walking
very leisurely.
Out jumped Mr.. Fox with a bark as
near like Mr.. Dogs as he could make
it, but instead of Jimmie running, as
he had expected, something struck Mr..
Fox straight in the face and blinded
him, and at the same time he felt very
queer.
Instead Of Jimmie running, Mr.. Fox
ran for home, but he did not notice, as he
opened one eye little way TO see where
he was going, that Jimmie Skunk was
sauntering slowly down the road, as if
nothing had happened.
1t was some time before Mr.. Fox was
out, or that anyone could come near
his house, for the odor was not pleasant
In the neighborhood.
He did not call on Jimmie Skunk
again, and he found out that Jimmie
spoke the truth when he said he never
turned aside Or ran from anyone. He
did not need to; everyone gave him
the right of way.

NEIGHBORHOOD.

Once when MIR. Fox was n young
fellow he lived on the edge of the wood,
well hidden from the road, and one
day he noticed that he had a new neigh
Dor.
He had never seen him before, and
of course, did not know anything about
Jimmie Skunk or his family, so MIR.
Fox decided that the friendly thing to
do was to call.
One day he put on his best clothes,
and, taking his cane, he went over to
call on his new neighbor.
Jimmie Skunk came very slowly to
the door in answer to MIR. Fox's knock,
and MIR. Fox was surprised to find
Jimmie very good-lool<ing fellow,
but he could not understand why he
wore so much white in plain sight.

SPELLING.

"How do you spell that7'
Believe me, girls, there is hardly any
thing more irritating to busy man than
to be halted in his dictation by that query.
Unless it be to have to read over every
letter for faults in spelling before he dares
sign it.
Business colleges now are giving courses
in spelling with stenography and short
hand, because too many graduates from
high school and even college do not know
how to spell
It's all very well to know Greek and
Algebra, but it wont help you to get n
good position as a typist or secretary II
YOU don't know how to spell Soclling
comes easy, to some and very hard to
others but SELL well you must if you hope
to be anything better than mediocre IN
office work.
The usual business vocabulary II not
very large Any girl can master 1T thor
oughly if she cares to take the trouble.
You can't loop up words IN dictionary
during business hours without wasting too
much time, but you can jot down doubtful
words for future reference and correction
and you can make habit OF noticing
words as you read them. -.
This is the secret of good spelling
knowing how a word looks.
There arc few good rules that you
can learn by heart, and studying the de-
rivation of words is help. But tho best
practice YOU can have is TO read at least
one or two pages daily and mark the
words with which you are unfamiliar, get
