As soon as Annie got slok we commenced to doctor for her. We had her under the deotor's care ontinually, but she showed no signs of improvement. A friend wanted me to try Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy, and I got a bottle of It, and one bottle did her more good than all the medicines she took for months before, I continued to give It to her until she had takes three bottles, and I feel safe In saying she is entirely cured.

In a week she was a different child, and those two children are so happy and cheerful now, it seems almost like a miracle. St. Vitus Dance is such an awful disease that I eannot be too thankful to Dr. Greene for what he has done for my little girls.

I cannot say too much for Dr. Greene's Nervura, and I hope the parents of all the little sufferers from St. Vitus Dance may read this letter and know that certain help Is possible for their little ones." PRACTICALLY DEAD, AND MUST WAIT A YEAR New Year's Eve the Time of Many Club Celebrations Stags, Smokers, Vaudevilles, Euchres, Stein -Parties, Enjoyed Southern Dishes at-Union League. There were high Jinks at the Invincible Club on New Year's eve, when the Entertainment Committee gave a nrst-clas vaudeville Show. The programme was a lengthy one, lb whloh each, number was fully up to date.

A few souvenirs were given away by the artists to the favored ones. Among the entertainers were Haley and Bond, comedians; Miss May Morning, singing comedienne; Miss Bessie May Hall, coon shout-er; Loney Haskell, comedian; Miss Belle Stewart comedienne, assisted by Dave Fltz-glbbons; Miss Constance Wlndom, popular songs; Miss Alice Vivian, up-to-date songs; Eddie Leslie, comedian and Miss Ethel Tillson, soprano; Miss Vera King, comedienne, and Miss Nevada Farrington. The Pleasure Drivers' Association will hold Its annual meeting and give an entertainment at the Invincible Club on Tuesday, January 6. This privilege was brought about by Mr. Burns, Chairman of the House Committee, who got the consent of the Board of Governors for the affair.

In return the driving association has extended an invitation to the members of the Invincible to be present at the entertainment. A good deal of speculation is rife at present over who will be the Chairman of tha various committees that are to be appointed after the annual meeting on Monday night next Herbert Jewell, one of the coming young men of the club, will probably get the Chairmanship of the House Committee, and Mr. Van Lear, Chairman of the Reception Committee. William Lister will probably head the Billiard Committee; S. L.

Brinley will be Chairman of the Card Committee, and probably Robert Mullens, will be on the 'Bowling Committee. The opposition, which made fight for the Board of Governors, is practically dead, and from appearances will have to wait another year before they can assert themselves. The members of the Brooklyn Borough Club thoroughly enjoyed themselves on Saturday night last when they had their annual Christmas tree. The committee In charge of the affair Becured presents for each member, and while none of them were expensive, they were suggestive of som feature of the member's Individuality and charaoter. By reason of this there were many hearty laughs at the expense of some, but every one took it good-naturedly.

President BrlnkerhonT, who is also orator of the club, acted as Santa Claus and kept up a steady talk as he handed out the presents. The gift he received was a dummy orator, which the committee said set a good example for him to follow at times. James D. Grant, who is one of the best-built men in the received a minlture pair of so as to improve his William Rerquehart, one of the heavyweights in the Club, who is going through a system of training to reduce his avoirdupois, received a gymnasium ring; G. W.

Washburn was presented with a tin soldier to remind him of his days in the Twenty-third, and Chair-man Kennedy, of the Entertainment Com mittee, who Is In the Insurance business. got a tin fire engine. On New Year's Day there was quite a gathering at the club house and the mem bers received their friends in the afternoon In a most hospitable manner. To make up for their disappointments of the past two weeks, a ladles' reception on Friday after noon. The Committee was: E.

Kline, Fred Worth, F. Ward, L. B. Fulton and M. J.

Mulumen. Music was furnished by a string orchestra and refreshments were served. The next dance and euchre at the club house will be on Tuesday evening next and an enjoyable time is anticipated. The members of the Union League Club thoroughly enjoyed themselves at the New Year's eve stag which was held In the big assembly room. The attendance was much larger than at any of the previous watch night affairs and all were rewarded by the splendid programme which -was presented.

This included Powell, magician; Ger trude Morton, comedienne; Markey and Stewart, "The Celt and the Jew;" Gebest Sisters; Ed Latell, musical comedian; Clara Douglass, buck and wing dancer; Rita Cur tis, trick violinist; Drawee, the juggler; Alice Shaw and daughters, whistlers, and George w. Day, biack-lace comedian. On New Year's Day almost every one of the members put in an appearance at the club house sometime during the day, and entertained their friends at the fine lunch which was set out In the assembly room from 1 to 4 P. M. The Entertainment Committee has postponed the dance which was to have been held on January 8, to January 28.

The next affair at the club will be a military euohre on January Judge Ingersoll, of Tennessee, entertained a number his friends among the mem bers of the Union League Club at a dinner at the club house Friday night of last week. This was In return for the hospitable manner In which he had invariably been -treated by them on his visits to Brooklyn. The dinner was served in typical Southern style and many of the favorite dishes south of the Mason and Dixon line were served. Among these were baked opoasum and sweet potatoes, reed birds from South Carolina, mountain oysters from Tennessee, red snapper from Florida and- gumbas -front New Orleans. Besides this there was some fine sixty-year-old Tennessee whiskey.

Among Judge Ingersoll's guests were Granville W. Harmon, Russell Parker, James Rice, Clarence A. Barrow, Theodore G. Christ-mass, Archibald Shenstone, Ingersoll and E. Gordon.

There was open house at the Logan Club on New Yearly Day, and the members spent the time quietly entertaining their friends. The' principle topic of conversation was the coming eleotlon of officers at the annual which was held last night' It was thought a week ago that there would be an opposition ticket in the field. but matters were smoothed over, and the regular ticket was the only one presented, and the officers unanimously elected.

If those who attend the centres feel that they are compelled to follow certain lines of work and that they are In a real school, the purpose of the recreation cen tre is defeated. "The teachers in this system, especially the literary club worker, should be cultured and refined men and women. The teachers recently appointed are college graduates who would not accept lower salaries than they are now receiving. More vitality is con. sumed In the evening work than elsewhere.

club worker must, according to the. new requirements, give at least six hours' work wek to home preparation. This averages four hours per night; excluding the time spent in going to and from the centres, most of which are situated in the densely popu lated districts, far from the homes of our workers." Miss Whitney's Report Some figures taken frpm Miss Whitney's monthly report will Enlighten the reader as to what the city Is doing in this field. There were eleven centres at the close of the year. It is intended, however, to open elghi more on Monday three in Brooklyn and five in Manhattan.

Two of the five in Manhattan will be downtown and three uptown. Those in Brooklyn will be at Publlo School No. 117, Stagg Btreet and Bushwlck avenue; No. 63, Starr street, near Central avenue, and No, 125, Blake and Thatford avenues. The average attendance at each of the eleven play centres was 4,227, and 55 teachers were employed.

The aggregate attendance was 97,268 during the month, and the total cost was $2,728, or 3 cents per attendance per night The school men are not agreed that these evening recreation centres wll give a large return for their cost, and it is claimed that the educational department should restrict itself to the purposes for which it was or ganlzed, and to furnish amusements was not one of them. The advocates of these open playgrounds for the boys and girls of the congested districts, while they contend that much good is being accomplished, are yet not satislied with the work. Hence, an ex periment Is to be tried in Public Schools Nos. and 105, and the boys are to be taught cord work, raffla and Venetian Iron work. Col umbia graduate, who Is taking a post course in that work, has been employed to teach It Miss Whitney, who superintended the va cation schools and playgrounds.

In which manual trainma; formed a nart nf tha imnia. ment, is convinced that greater Interest will be manifested by the children in constructing something than in the games, which fail to amuse after a. time. If it is found that her views are borne out by experience, she will advocate shop work in all the centres, for girls as well as boys. This work, In conjunction with the gymnasium and literary club, will.

It is believed that 'Make Dr. Grey, Your Family SJSJkBiiMssfltlMsBalsBSHKBBBM SHIS TO WHEN YOU BAN THE SCHOOL BOARD, PRESIDENT, "aOTJ WERE NOT SO MUCH. Now, Will You Keep Still. We Have Given 49,457 New Sittings in Brooklyn, Says Chairman of Building Committee Rec-reation Centres. William Lummls, Chairman of the (Building Committee, Board of Education, in a statement of the work that committee has performed during the year, lays special stress en what has been accomplfshea for this borough since consolidation, as an an swer to the criticism President Swanstrom made of the Board of Education, and Mr, Lummls presents these figures The sittings which have been furnished since consolidation in Manhattan and Brook lyn-, respectively, have been: 'Manhattan.

Brooklyn 1Kpo 2,250 400 icon 17.360 6.821 1m'" 4,885 12,664 1901 6.420 9,894 .......18,800 19,675 48.715 49.457 This shows that In the last three years, 1900, 1901 and 1902, new sittings have been furnished, in Manhatfan, in Brook lyn, 42,233. The sittings furnished to Brooklyn In the four years before consolidation and in the five years since compare as follows: Brooklyn, 1894-6-6-7 Total, 26,5504 years. Brooklyn, 1898-9, 1900-1-2 Total, years: During the same periods the expenditures for repairs In Brooklyn have been: 1894-6-6-7 Total, $399,670. 1898-9, 1900-1-2 Total, ,1,296,267. In a conversation with the reporter of the Times, Mr.

Lummls said he considered Mr. Swanstrom largely responsible for the small number of buildings erected in Brooklyn im mediately prior to consolidation, because he was -President of the Brooklyn Board of Education. The figures given, says Mr. Lummls, must remove the impression that Brooklyn has "not received its full share of consideration since consolidation, and particularly since the organization of the present Board last February. "The Building Committee has endeavored to deal fairly with each borough, according to the urgent necessities of each," said Mr.

Lummls. Schools Open Monday. All the activities of the school department of the city will be resumed on Monday. Day and evening schools will begin 'a new term, the second course of free lectures will be Inaugurated, and the play centres will open. More Interest centres around the lat ter than any of the others, for the reason that they are somewhat of an-experiment, and they have not yet been given a sufficient trial to determine whether the results war rant the expenditure of the money expended on them.

Miss E. E. Whitney, the District Superintendent assigned to supervise the play centres, after ten months' experience, has this to say: "The possibilities in this evening work are enormous; the good that may be done cannot described. The work, however. Is peculiar.

Freedom and Individuality are Its BE INDEPENDENT. Yon can tell Jtwt as well as a physician Whether your Kidneys are diseased or healthy. Fill a tumbler with nrine and let it stand 24 hours; if it has a sediment, if It Is milky or cloudy, discolored br pale; If It Is ropy or stringy, your Kidneys- and Bladder are In a dangerone condition, and yon do not need a physician to tell you so. Kidney diseases should be attended to at for almost 00 per cent, of our unexpected deaths of to-day are from that cause. Dr.
