arily true, though the practitioners
of this school do 6eem to possess
unusual facility In- locating "tender

It necessary to use haroic measures.
Often the first few treatments render
the muscles and underlying tissues
somewhat sore, but after that the

Persistent cases of insomnia yield to

Delia Pringle Co.
Here Holiday Week
Old Time Favorite and Strong
Troupe, Coming To) Enterprise
Opera House.
Enterprise, Dec. 4. To the Edi
tor: -May I be permitted space to
tell of the Delia Pringle company,
which comes to the opera house for
the week beginning Monday, Decem
ber 27?
I desire to write in this person
al way, because I hav had personal
knowledge of Ml3s Pringle and her
company for many years, and desire
to give the public my assurance,
based on such personal knowledge,
that the company is In every way
strictly a first-class one.
Miss Pringle and her company hav
recently completed a run of seventy
consecutive weeks at the Turner
theatre, Boise, Idaho, to phenome
nal business, and the only reason
for the termination of the run was
a prior lease of the theatre.
When In Boise last week I had
the pleasure of being' shown through
the magnificent new PInne'y Theatre,
the handsomest playhouse in the Pa
cific Northwest, by- Manager Pin
ney. The Pringle company is play
ing at the Pinney this week. Mana
ger PInney assured me that It was
considered In Boise the strongest
repertoire company ever seen there.
That night I saw them In Caldwell
in the strong domestic comedy, ''Be
cause She Loved Hlro So," and feel
that I can endorse all the good
'things Manager Ptnney said of them.
The theatre at Caldwell was crowd
ed to the doors and the audience
was a most enthusiastic one. '
That this strong company has been
secured for Holiday week In Enter
prise, I feel to be matter for congrat
ulation, and I am living in hopes
that the business done toy them here
will justify their faith in our town.
Very respectfully,
A. C. MILLER.
