O Tuesday night they played to a capac ity audience the old-time favorit. "Lena Rivers." This play which ha been adapted from the story by Mar Jane lolroes, has pleased thousand of people all over the world for man years. The characters in both tl bills were exceedingly well takei especially the characters of "Granny as taken by Miss Gussie Addison an "Lena Rivers," portrayed by M.i9 Lillian DeArmond. Melville's Comedians are now fif ing a long-felt want in the show worl especially in the smaller cities, fro: the fact that they have gone back I the old days of week-stands, producin the very best in melo-dramas, comed dramas and farc comedies. Th American stage for several years ht been drugged with musical comedic and extravagances and it is a welcon relief to witness some of the old-tin drlamas.

REPORT Of RED CROSS NQRSING COMMIT[[ It may be of interest, and we sin cerely hope it is to a great majorit of our people, to know a little of th work of Clarendoi County's Red Cros Public Health Nurse. Our nurse, say our, for Miss Moore is here fo the benefit of every person, white ani colored in Clarendon County, has bee1 and is doing a great work, which I fee very few people are aware of. Hav ing only one nurse for the whole o our large County it is impossible fo Miss Moore to be in the different see tions of the County as often as she o the members of the nursing committe would like to have her be. Howevei before many months the Committe hopes to have an assisting nurse in th field with Miss Moore, and we fet sure that when the two nurses ar working in union the results will b greater than they are at present. Eve working all over this entire Count for the past two and one-half month alone, Miss Moore has (lone wonder ful work. There were three (3) baby confet ences held during the month of Jul: By means of these conferences man mothers were helped materially wit not only the feeding of her infant, be in so many innumerable ways that great many of these mothers brin their babies to the Red Cross room every Saturday afternoon betwee the hours of two a.'' five for them t be weighed and insrected generally b Miss Moore, and to be given furthe instructions in the care and feeding c them. These children are to be ou future parents and should they not l healthy and strong in youth, they at very apt to make us men and wome who are not strong enough in body an character to manage the welfare our country. I feel sure there are few of us wl realize the enormous number of ti berculosis cases there are all over' tt County, and would not believe ti carelessness of the majority of the. cases, unless they were brought ui ler our personal observation. Sini the first of August Miss Moore h spent the greater portion of her tin inspecting these tubercular cases at their home surroundings, which sl found in so many cases most appal ing. and with the patients taking I L precautions whatsoever in protectii the other members of the househo from this most dreaded disease. Miss Moore is at the Red Cro headquarters every Saturday afte noon from two until five o'clock, ai she will be more than glad to ha anyone call during these hours for ai information or assistance they wig There has been formed in thirte, sections of the County nursing coi mittees whose chairman meets wi the Manning committee and the Cou ty Nurse every three months al plans are consummated at the e meetings for the ensuing period three months. The Manning comm tee meets once each nionth and i spects the nurse's records; a daily well as a monthly record is kept - the nurse for the inspection of abo committee, and for the public who i ~ interested and we would be glad f any interested party to look over th( at any time. The following is a partial summi of work (lone by our County Red Cr< R Nurse for the past three months, t " lengt'h of time Miss Moore has be with us: a Nursing care given to 49 patient S131 instructive calls. n 19 sanitary inspection calls mad 5 committee meetings. 9 talks on health problems wit total attendanlce of 837. - 3 Baby Conferences hebld in J uly D~uring August and Sieptembei rpenial t uberculosis~ surve . .
