CAPACITY HOUSE \
ENJOYS "BUDDIESD
Pleasing Performance of Overseas
Comedy at Columbia Theatre.

"Buddies," comedy Of American
soldier days in France after the ar
mistice, opened an engagement Of
three performances at the Columbia
theater last evening. ,s. ,,s
With long run record in New
York and the personal endorsement Of
a number of Columbians who have
seen it in the metropolis, much was
expected of, "Buddies." But Bud
dies" measured up to all the heralds
and pleased capacity audience, made
up of local theatergoers and visitors
to the state fair. rs
Peculiar interest always attaches
to play from the pen Of George v.
Hobart, once resident Of Columbia.
In the present offering he has caught
the atmosphere and spirit Of the
French billet, drawing for his audi
ence a picture that rings true in de-
tail. As an overseas man remarked
after the performance last night: "He
knew what he is talking about"
Mr.. Hobart has also struck the
happy medium, for he has written
"Buddies," SO that it is understood
mot only by former members OF the
A. E. F. but by others as well. The
only advantage had by the former
soldier is the recalling of pleasant
memories of France, and many an
overseas lad was carried back across

Contagious and infectious diseases

It is bad enough to accidentally con.
tract disease, but it is very serious
matter to communicate or transmit
disease to another. The time may
come when it will not only be illegal
but positively disgraceful for one 10
transmit disease to another.
Aside from the ordinary rash dis
eases, tuberculosis is perhaps the
most frequently transmitted from the
sick to the well. Volumes could be
said and written on the subject Of tu-
berculosis alone, since it is so preva-
lent among our people-and worse
among peoples Of other countries.
Statistics show that about 80 TO 30
per cent of the human race have tu-
berculosis some time during life. And
what is more important to note is
that the vast majority show symp-
toms Of tuberculosis before reaching
the tender age of nine years, So
among the young we find this disease
rampant.
Herein lie our greatest activities.
Teachers, as well as medical men,
are now of the opinion that we must
develop the body as well as the mind.
In fact, it is a tragedy to see bril-.
liant mind living in a diseased body
house.
More attention should be directed
to the physical development Of the
child. Build bone and muscle. Men
tai training can follow. Our ssy.
lums and hospitals, as well as our
penitentiaries, bear sad witness to the
fact that often our minds are edu-
Gated beyond our bodies.
Many conditions and diseases rec
ognized early in life can be cured or
improved, so that calamities in later
years may be averted. Among these
may be mentioned children born Of
