She leaves our school with excellent recommendations. On Saturday evening, January 23, the pupils of the Training Department gave a three part program. The first was a cantata, "Peggy's Dream," which was given by the 3rd and 4th grades. These children proved to be delightful entertainers, and showed excellent training with their voices both in solo and chorus work. The cast of characters follows: Peggy Gaynelle Shore. Bopeep Marion Macdonald Old Mother Hubbard Gertrude Rogers Little Miss Muffit-Wilda Fuller Little Boy Blue Guy Sacre Old King Cole-Jay Butler Jack Bruce Rogers Jill Mary Chute Lady Bunny Grace Parker Sir Thomas (cat) Charles Strong Brownie Jim Crowley Fairy Myrtle Hyde Brownie band etc., other mem bers of the 3rd and 4th grades. The second and third parts were a cantata, "A Merry Com pany" and a drill-"Sash Drill", both of which were given by the 5th 6th 7th and 8th grades. In the former, individual parts were taken by Aileen Hosner, who made an excellent Captain of the Cadets; by Lora Chute, a mischevious member of the com pany, and Claud Boyle a deserter, who certainly furnished much amusement; by Norman Crowley, Ranie Burkhead and John Nel son the policemen who "knew their business" and very cleverly showed it; Winifred Parrish, Emma Parker and Harry Haley as 1st 2nd and 3rd speakers, each of whom did well. The chorus was made up by- the other pupils in these grades. The latter-the Sash Drill was a very pretty exercise by seven girls; their parts were gracefully taken and the effect was pleasing. Those who took part in this wrere, Amy Chaney, Bell Rogers, Loette Shore, Emma Parker, Delphia Hartzog, Mildred Force and Muriel Boyle. The audience certainly con sidered the evening well spent and many were made to recall their own old school days. Falls City Rev. E. A. LaDow was a Dallas visitor Saturday.

Holders of Season Tickets in the Citizen Entertainment Course will be pleased to learn that the committee has secured two con certs for the near future. The Gamble Concert Party will appear on the evening of Feb. 5, and the Williams Dixie Jubilee Singers on March 12. The personel of the Gamble Party is the same as that when they were here in concert last year; Mr. Ernest Gamble, basso; Miss VernaPage, violin; Mr. Sam Lamberson, piano. This will be the second return of the company to Monmouth, the first appear ance having occured three years ago. An entirely new program will be rendered. . There was great disappoint ment last year in the Negro Jubilee compa y which gave a concert in the Citizens Course. It was called the Tennessee Jubilee Singers and came highly recommended. The company gave a fair concert, but it was so much inferior to that given the year before by the Williams company that it was poor by comparison. The genuine Williams Dixie Jubilee company will appear this time and a crowded house is as sured. They number eight people, evenly divided into male and female quartets. Their varied and interesting program consists of plantation songs, popular and classic selections in solo, quartet and chorus. It will probably be the best chance to hear this famous com pany as their success has been so great they must cut down the number of their concerts in the smaller places. The committee is also negotiat ing for a lecturer of national reputation. Symptoms of Tuberculosis. The symptoms of tuberculosis are a dry, short, interrupted, hoarse cough, which the sick animals manifest, especially in the morning at feeding time, still more after somewhat violent ex ertion. At first these animals may be full-blooded and lay on a considerable amount of fat when well fed. As the disease pro gresses they grow thin and show more and more those appearances which indicate diseased nutrition, such as a staring, lusterless, dis heveled coat, dirty, tense skin, which appears very pale in those regions free from hair. The temperature of the skin is below normal. ' The loss of fat causes sinking of the eyes in their sockets. They appear swimming in water, and their expression is weak. The cough is more fre quent, but never, or very rarely, accompanied with discharge. The body continues to emanciate even with plenty of food and a good appetite, so that the quantity of milk is small. At times in the early stages of the disease, still more in the later stages, the dis eased animals manifest consider able tenderness when pressure is applied to the front or sides of the chest, by coughing, moaning, etc. Often all symptoms are wanting in spite of the existence of the disease. A disease so varied in its attack on the differ ent organs of the body and in the extent of the disease process must necessarily lead to mistakes when diagnosis is attempted by the ordinary means of examina tion. The tuberculin test, which is marvelously accurate in its in dications, has been almost uni versally adopted for the detection of tuberculosis.
