The Temperance drama, entitled
"The Turn of the Tide" presented to
a gathering of close to five hundred
people, was a great success in every
way. The evening's entertainment
was begun by presenting a farce en-
titled "Ripples" which caused rip-
ples of laughter. It was exceptional-
ly well rendered and the crowd en-
joyed it immensely. The Turn of
the Tidewas received with enthus-
asm and every part was played in a
pleasing and effective manner. A
great many people are saying they
cannot hope to render the play any
better, and this is the highest need
of praise. The older players made
their reputations several years ago
and much was expected of them, so
4the praise is naturally being given
hose who appeared for the first
time' and astonished the natives by
displaying unknown talents. Miss
Mae Clark delighted the audience by
her singing. The Exeter Orchestra
rendered effective music and a num-
ber will visit Exeter Friday evening
to hear it the second time. The pro-
ceeds amounted to $153.15.

I1N THE PUBLIC EYE
•
Our eyes are the, school teachers
01 our brain. They ;must help to in-
terpret the messages of our other
senses. Between seventy and eighty
per cent o1 the children who do not
progress properly in their studies at
school, are backward because of de-
ficient eye -sight. Do not send your
child otschool with such unpaired
vision equipment. Let us examine
into the cause and make the proper
glasses to correct his failing.
