of our own State.
VIII a nurse force herself in our

mine here would she come?
She win go anywhere in the coun

hN-Nh AoINK,
Principal Oakland High School.

Mr.. Fank Astor, Principal,
Garrett County High School,
Oakland, Nd.
Dear Mr.. Aston: In answer to your
enquiry regarding the Chautauqua
held in Newport News last year, per
NIT me to say, this was only the sec
ond year that Newport News had
made use Of the Chautauqua for edu-
cationaI purposes, yet so good was
the response, on account Of the first
years program that there was a bal
ance on hand.
The numbers We're highly cduca-
tional; everything was Of the highe t
order and for the amount of money
spent it was one of the best invest
ments this community ever made. It
has now become an annual with this
city and will prove more valuable
with each recurring year.
In conclusion, let me say, l covet
just such splendid programs for ev-
cry community, both rural and urban.
It is one of those things that leave a
pleasant memory behind and creates
a desire for the return visit.
Hoping that your own Chautauqua
will be a great success, I am. dear
MIR. Aston, Sincerely yours,
F. P. DENNISON, Pastor,
First Baptist Church.

 HEALTHY LUNGS

Healthy lungs simply mean lungs that are unimpaired by disease germs and respond to the free elastic move ments of the chest, ribs, intercostal muscles and tho diaphragm in the process or breathing.
 Strictly speaking, there are no healthy lungs. All are more or less impaired, through invading dust, in- haling smoke and disease during childhood. Germs and microbes of many kinds gain entrance to the lungs by mouth breathing.
 The bronchi and traehea have their like processes on the mucous mem- brans of their walls which do their best to oXpel minute foreign bodies and microbes from entering the lungs But in spite of all efforts, these germs do get in and cause such diseases as influenza, bronchitis, pneumonia and tuberculosis
 The lungs in a pure healthy condi- ton arc pesrly white. Eskimos have the nearest approach to such lungs. The lungs Of the city dweller arc gray. The coal miners lungs arc much darker. sometimes nearly approaching black.
 This does not mean that almost everybody has diseased lungs. The

My Dear John:
 I had decided never to write you again unless some great crisis came into either your or my life. Because fI think such a crisis has come into your now is the reason I am writ tns you this letter
 You know that l do not go 10 rznovfng picture shows. have never allowed myself to be seen in one of these dens of iniquity. In fact, it is the only thing over which dear Pris- ella Bradford and l disagree.
 She tells me that they are not as tbad as I have been taught 10 be- fieve and insists upon going once or twice a week to see them. She says they take her out Of herself. She comes home and tells me the stories most graphically and usually, at the end. I can trnthfuliy say that my opinion of them is not changed at all. They are always talking of things I would blush to mention be-

KEITH VAUDEVILLE AT PALACE.

Aebill of Keith vaudeville will be one of the features at the Palace starting today for the balance of the week with four good acts presented. Charles Wiles will be seen in real novelty offering; Spencer and Carroll offer, Do You Remember de- lightful reminiscence of childhood recalling the dog fighting, youthful laughter, the bees. the chickens, and songs and comedy batter; Dare Brothers have an excellent gymnastic act which they call "slo Motion," and Jerry on the Job" will be of- fered by an excellc east.
 Marshall Neilan surpassed his own previous pictures-and they have been big ones--in his screen version of his own story The Eter- nal Three" produced for Goldwyn. This picture, Q glorihcation of the seif-sacriheing work Of the physician and surgeon, was shown at the Pal ace theater and held the entire audi ence spellbound this afternoon.
 pr. Walters, the surgeon hero of the story, marries a young wife who becomes fascinated by the gay charm of her husbands graceless foster son, Leonard. The boy suffers q serious brain injury through his mad haste to meet the surgeons wife and elope with her, Only a delicate operation can save him, Dr. Walters has learned the state of affairs between his wife and Leonard, and the ques- ton that confronts him is: Shall he live up to. his oath as a member of the surgical profession and save Leonards life or let his own private feelings dominate him and give the knife an undetected twist?
 Neilan has made thrilling story around this problem and it is su- perbly acted by Hobart Bosworth, Claire Windsor and Raymond Griffith as the members of the eternal tri- angle.

fore a man. only that know dear Priscilla goes alone and always looks at them in a spirit of pious pity, I would feel that really did not under. stand the mind Of the modern young woman.
 The last picture which she saw has further confirmed me in this decision although it seems 10 me that if you should go and see it you would be convinced of what a terrible thing you have done in adopting a child that you know nothing about and giving 1t your honorable name.
 I believe this picture Is called Pumping His Heart" which in it. self shows that those who make pic- lures believe in the sinful games that arc played with cards. The story is all about a man who foists his illegitimate child on his wife, and while I know that this would never be done by anyone of my family. yet I think it shows just what might be said by those who do not know you as ].
 My dear John, it would break my heart to have anyone of my friends sec that picture who know that you have adopted A child under almost the same circumstances
 Dear Priscilla Bradford drew my attention 10 these facts and l deter mined then and there 10 once again ask you to get rid of this child in some way.
 I am feeling much better since dear Princilla came 10 live with me and ] think I would be perfectly happy if she did not have this strange craze of going 10 picture shows.
 However. I suppose that fhis fool- ishncss will wear out as she becomes older and more mature.
 I presume I ask more Of her be- cause in other things she has always seemrd so sensible. Sc much so that sometimes have almost bslieycd hsf some or the ha-um- -scsrum girls Of the town say of her. that she Is 0ver thirty-ftt.

 She closed her eyes again, and Katherine motioned me to the door, through which we passed leaving it but a trif1e ajar. There we stood, tense. listening. until the sound of deep, regular breathing told us that Katherine's prescription had taken effect. Leila. red-eyed and tremulous, had joined us. but katherine's ges- ture of silence had kept her as quiet and watchfu as ourselves.
 My little kinswoman noiselessly stepped back into the room, and came out again almost instantly, closing the door tightly shut behind her with such infinite care that not even the tiniest creak berayed the action. Then she beckoned us down tn hail to her own room.
 Now" she said, "one of us must sit outside until she awakens."
 Please let me-" Leila pleaded.

 Surely" Katherine assented, "only you must promise me one thing. When she awakens and calls, do not answer her yourself, but call me in stantly. l want to see her before anyone else does"
 There was an authority in her voice which was not to be disre- garded. and Leila promptly gave the required promise.

great majority are in fairly good con- dition, due principally to the fact that the lungs are great in recuperative powers. In fact. they are almost as good in this respect as the overused and much abused heart.
 To help your lungs in the fight against germs and disease you must at all times carefully observe the correct rules of respiratory health. The chest will not work in frst-class condition if bent out of shape and re- stricted through improper posture, in its muscular movements. By keeping up your gymnastics and deep breath ing exercises you can aid your lungs to healthy old age.
 Remember that the lungs are great aid to the heart in keeping up a good blood circulation. Well-devel- opcd lungs, combined with good breathing exercises, are wonderful aid to your heart in it's work for a long life
