(National News Association) SPOKANE, Wash., Jan. 18. A gymnasium in every grammar school, tbe abolition of the public dance ball and tbe noodle Joint and the substitution or the supervised playground and the neighborhood social center will be urged by the committee appointed this week by the Child Welfare League to Investigate conditions in oriental cafes and public ballrooms. This is the statement of Mrs. W. H. Tage, secretary of the league and chairman o fthe committee. Continuing he said: "Why spend thousands and thous ands of dollars upon our high school equipment the school of the favored few and not one cent upon the masses of children who never reach the high Bcbool? The cause of their failure to reach the high school may be lack of physical strength to stand the mental strain of school. "The public dance hall and the noodle joints must go. The school house must be made an institution a university of the people. It is here we want our boys and girls to meet for social life. Here we want the tired father and mother to find recreation, relaxation and stimulus. "Our campaign will not alone be corrective, but preventative. It is not our Intention to take away the noodle Joint and the public dance hall, places of amusement, without providing healthy substitutes. "We want supervised playgrounds and tbetfldcr use of the school house as a social center, without having to pay fees to the Janitor. "This committee will be enlarged and it will number upon its most progressive men and women of the city. We are determined to get results." Here Is a remedy that will cure your cold.

CASCARETS FOR A SICK, SOUR STOMACH Gently But Thoroughly Cleanse and Regulate Your Stomach, Liver and Bowels While You Sleep.

That awful sourness, belching of acid and foul gases; that pain in the pit of the stomach, the heartburn, nervousness, nausea, bloating after eating, feeling oi fullness, dirtiness and sick headache, means indigestion; a disordered stomach, which cannot be regulated until you remove the cause. It Jsn't your stomach's fault Your stomach is as good as any. Try Cascarets; they cure indigestion, because they immediately cleanse and regulate the stomach, remove the sour, undigested and fermenting food and foul gases; take the excess bile from th liver and carry off the decomposed waste matter and poison from the intestines and bowels. Then your stomach trouble is ended forever. A Cascaret tonight will straighten you out by morning a 10 cent box from . any drug store will keep your entire family feeling good for months. Don't forget the children their little inside) need a good, gentle cleansing, too. paign against the Shawnee Indians took place. "The Confession." "The Confession," James Halleck Keid'8 great moral play that has created so much talk in New York city will appear at the Gennett on Saturday matinee and night. The play, while dealing with a subject in a reverent, intelligent manner, does not depend upon that alone for its large audiences of interested spectators, its powerful dramatic situations, knit together with gripping power, hold Protestant, Jew and Catholic alike, breathless to the end of the play. However, it is the only theatrical amusement that members of the Catholic faith have been advised to atend during Lent. M. J. Lavelle, Vicar General of the Archbishopric of New York in an open letter commends the play and sanctioned its attendance during Lent. This is the first time in the history of New York city the Vical General has ever attended publicly in a theater during the Lenten season. - At the Murray. One of the most pleasing bills for some time is the one being presented at the Murray this week with Billy Hawthorne and his merry minstrel maids as the feature. The act is composed of seven people, five young ladies with Miss Amy Hawthorne as interlocutor and Mr. Fay Zel and Mr. Billy Hawthorne as end men. The act is well costumed and makes a most pleasing appearance. Some very excellent musical numbers are introduced and some very clever dancing is done by the sister team. As fun-makers, Ray Zel and Billy Haythorne are certainly "there" and keep the audience in a roar of laughter from the beginning of the act until the close. The Four Everetts, direct from a continental engagement put on an acrobatic and equilibristic act that probably has never been excelled in Richmond. The feats that they perform arc nothing short of marvelous and unlike most acts of the kind the wo men perform just as many and just as ; daring stunts as the men. Maul Rock. Among the numerous natural curiosities of West Virginia is one in Lincoln county called the "Maul rock" because of its similarity to a maul. The base of the rock is about a thousand feet above sea level nud is made up of large bowlders, says an exchange. The stem of the rock is twenty feet high and will average about seven feet In diameter. The cap. or maul part, is about six feet thick and is thirty-eight feet in circumference. Thf stem is of a soft formation and is fast crumbling away, since the timber hits died that was a great protection from the force of strong winds. By mounting the rock by means of a ladder that is kept there a magnificent view of the West Virginia hills can be obtained. Christian Science Monitor. Lev Letters of a Husband.

What the Girls Were at the Games. COMVO STABLE BUG COAT. Many of the pretty girls who attended the college football games wore big, comfortable rug coats made of double faced fabrics, imitating steamer rugs, or tbey were made from expensive steamer rugs. The coat illustrated is of a tweed mixture in grays and black, with a reverse in Scotch plain effect and a border of fringe. Gift For Your Best Beau. If you wish to give a man an unusual and distinctive gift there arc new walking sticks and English canes which will help you make a selection. They are made of the finest woods, elegnnt sticks which come from al! quarters of the globe. Trinidad fur nishes tbe famous snakewood, tbe pret ty partridge woods come from China. and from Singapore comes the rattan j These are made up into slender sticks and for the conservative man simply gold or silver mounted. But for the man who likes some thing new and different there are all sorts of quaint and queer conceits. A crooked silver top which simply looks like a convenient handle is in reality a niie holder, and it is revealed by unfastening the catch. Press a spring on another smart looking cane and part of the silver top will lift off and reveal a dog whistle in case you should "lose your dog and not be able to whistle." Silver caps that look something like golf sticks are made to hold cigarettes, and there is another style, a close kin. destined for matches. For the "horsy" man there is a stick which holds a long horse measure, and if there is a dispute or doubt all he need do is release a spring and out will came a long wooden rule cleverly concealed within tbe stick to tell him just how mauy "hands" high is the steed In question. Then there are cigar lighters and novelty animal beads. These last are funny affairs, made of wood and shap ed like donkeys, dogs and other "beasties." whose mouths open and ears wriggle when you touch the right ring or button. A Christmas Doll. This very elaborately dressed doll was turned out in the workshop of the famous Paris dressmaker, Mme. Paquin. Bullion trimmings are now so popular on women's dress that SOU DSXSSKP BT TAXa fsshionable dolls must be similarly togged out. This Christmas doll wears a dress of gold colored chiffon over white silk. Dross, cap and slippers are braided with gold soutache.

The parents of a young soldier, who was a private in a Prussian cavalry regiment during the Franco-Prussian war. became very anxious about him. Several battles had been fought and they had received no news of their boy. After some hesitation the father went to see General von Moltke and after a long wait was admitted to the presence of the great field marshal. "What Is your business?" asked the general. "Use as few words as possible." The visitor explained that he wished to know the fate of his son, a private in a certain regiment. Moltke smiled, but not unkindly, and drew forth a square of cardboard covered with dots, lines and crosses of various colors. "This line," he said, "indicates theline of march of your son's regiment. These dots mark the distance of each forced march. Tomorrow morning at 7 o'clock the regiment must be at this point here. Take note of the situation." He said no more, and the interview ended. Long before the hour named the father was at the point indicated on the map. Just before 7 o'clock the trumpets of tbe advance guard were heard in the distance, and precisely at the hour the father saw his son. London Telegraph. Why He Went to Market. It usually happens in this way: "Jim," says Mrs. Mann, "I see that the best butter is 3 cents cheaper at the market than it is out there at our grocery store. This is market day. Would you mind going down there on your way home and getting me two dozen eggs and some corn and a few" "Oh, I'm awfully sorry, dear," breaks in Mr. Mann, "but this is going to be my busy day. I won't be home till pretty late, and there are a lot of extra things that I simply must attend to, and" "Never mind, dear," says Mrs. Mann. "I'd just as soon do it myself, but I haven't any money, and if you wil leave me a ten dollar bill I'll" "Come to think of It." breaks in Mr. Mann right there. "I won't be so very busy today. I was thinking about next week. I'll go to the market for you very gladly." Cleveland Plain Dealer. The Gulls and the Black Crickets. When the Mormons first settled in Utah black crickets came in myriads from the mountains and would have destroyed the crops had it not been for the gulls that came by hundreds and thousands from the surrounding lakes. At that time tbe settlers at Salt Lake regarded the advent of tbe birds as a heaven sent miracle, and ever since the gull has been esteemed almost as a sacred bird by the Mormons. About tbe beet and alfalfa fields when they are being irrigated the gulls still collect and feed largely on field mice that are so destructive to crops. Success Magazine. Saving Him. "Why have you and Miss Sweet broken off your engagement?" "Because she loves me so." "That's a queer reason." "Not at all.

That settled my case, for the time being at least She said that she was determined that I should not encounter the danger of being first cu the list" Pittsburg Press. t : Looked Ominous.

BOSTON REVOLTED.

Whan Commodore Knewles Workec His Press Gang In 1747. In the year 1747 a great tumnlt wv raised In the town of Boston. Con modore Knowies. while lying at Nai tucket with a number of men of waloaing some of bis men by desert iothought " it reasonable that Bostshould supply him with aa many cut as he had tost. He therefore sent b boats uptown early in the mornln and surprised not only as many set men as could be foand on board o any of tbe boats outward bound u well as others, but swept tbe wharf taking seme ship carpenters' appret tlces and landsmen. This conduct was resented. As soo; as it was dusk several people assent bled in King street, below the towi bouse, where tbe general court ?- sitting. Stones and brickbats wer thrown into the council cbambe1 through tbe windows. A judlciou speech of tbe governor from the ba! cony, disapproving of the impress aiir promising his utmost endeavors to oh tain tbe discharge of tbe persons im pressed, had no effect Tbe selzur and restraint of the commanders and other officers who were in town wer? insisted upon as tbe only effectual method to procure tbe release of tb inhabitants on board tbe ships. Tbe militia was summoned In aid of th? government, but refused to appear. Letters in tbe meantime passed be tween the governor and the commodore. The codncil and house of repre sentatlves now passed some vigorous resolutions, and the tumultuous spirit began to subside. Finally tbe com mo dore dismissed most If not all of the inhabitants who had been impressed, and tbe squadron sailed. NOISY FISHES; The Skate Grunts, the Puffer Chuckles, and the Orumfish Booms. Perhaps the most conspicuous exam pie of the fishes that are capable of utterance is tbe drumfisb. so called by reason of the deep, booming noise It produces at will. It is found along the Atlantic coast from Massachusetts to Florida. Tbe squeteague. another salt water fish of the noisy variety, resembles in appearance the trout, and tbe not un musical sound that it gives out is much like the note uttered by a big bullfrog. Allied to the squeteague is the fish known as "the croaker." which, as its popular name Indicates, affects the croak an unmistakable croak. The sea robin, so called because it has crimson fins just behind its bead, about the size of birds' wings, is ao other fish that makes itself heard The "squawk" of the sea robin Is especially emphatic when on being caught it lifts up its voice in reiterated protests. There is a fish that may be said to chuckle the little puffer or swellfisb. It puffs itself into tbe shape of a perfect sphere and as it does so gives out a peculiar, hoarse chuckle. The skate wheq caught grunts, groans and gasps pretty much after tbe manner of a human being in distress. Carp and goldfish frequently utter curious sounds, but hardly sounds In the meaning of the term here used, inasmuch as their sounds are produced by approaching the surface of the water and blowing out air in bubbles until a rippling noise Is heard.

RUSH OF THE CRESTED SEA. Mount St. Michel's Tidal Wave One ef the Sights of the World. At 5 o'clock in the afternoon people gather on the causeway that connects the islet of Mount St Michel with the French coast to watch the coming of the tide, one of the sights of the world. As far as tbe eye can reach stretches he gray sand, silent, empty. Seven es and a half lie between the ocean 1 the rock. Presently a strange irmur pervades the air. It seems v come from nowhere and yet to be everywhere. And then far on the horizon lifts a line of white. Every moment it draws nearer, and tne sound ia the air swells louder, and thtn with astonishing speed up the line of crested sea. and in a moment, where it reaches, the sands, there is but a space of swirling water. And on the waves ride In the fishing boats that have gone out to sea on the tide at dawn. Many a tragdy has been caused by the swift inrush of this true tidal wave, for. save along narrow, paths, the bottom of this vast, strange bay la but quicksand, and after the tide has once turned and the sound of its coming is heard no man can hope to escape it reach unless he be close indeed to the mount or the shores of the mainland.

A TRIAL OF STRENGTH. The Feat That Was Performed by Adargoma. ths Wrestler. Tradition has immortalized one Adargoma of Grand Canary, who conld wrestle for two consecutive hours and, having been thrown undermost in a certain contest, got his antagonist between his legs and arms and squeezed blm so that his bones began to crack. The native was subsequently sent as a prisoner to Spain, where he astounded the people by his performances. One day in Seville he was visited by a brawny youth of La Mancha, who was anxious to try a bout with him. . "My good friend," said Adargoma. "as we are going to wrestle together it Is only reasonable that we should begin by drinking something." A large bowl of wine having been brought, be took this in one hand and continued to address his challenger: "If with both your arms you can overpower one of mine so as to hinder me from drinking every drop of this wine we will try our strength together; if not, you may return to your home." The struggle took place, and Adargoma by degrees drained the bowl In the coolest manner without spilling a drop of the" wine. His one hand was more than a match for the other's two.London Spectator.
