TOWN WEEKLY MAGAZINE SECTION “FOR GOD in His infinite wis- dom gathereth at last unto him- self each weary and over- burdened ong . . .” In the sharp brightness of the snow-covered cemetery Dr. Larribee’s voice was small, the warmth he tried to put into the words was snatched out of them by the freezing wind. Phoebe, standing by her mother, looked at the minister, glanced away and shed tears quietly. She had been home two nights and a day and Ben had not come to her. Arriving late Tuesday she had gone straight to his house. But Eulalie had told her at the door that young Mr. Ben was out. “Oh he—he is? Then when he comes back tell him I'm home, Eulalie. Tell him I want very much to see him.” Surely he’d come over in the morning. But he hadn’t. Phoebe had stood by the window, past which snow fell in a thin white veil. She had put on her ga- lcshes and walked down to the end of the hedge where they used to meet, and stood there. And all she saw was a florist’s delivery wagon drive in. The only glimpse she had had of Ben was when at last she had enter- ed the Prentices’ dim, chilly, strangely sweet-smelling parlor at two o'clock this afternoon and like a stranger sat down on a folding chair. In the car going home Caro- line brushed her handkerghief over smarting eyelids ‘and talked incessantly. At home the house was reas- suringly warm and bright with sunshine pouring through the frosted windows, though the kitchen was filled with clouds of blue smoke which rose from an aluminum pot on the stove— the apple sauce Caroline had forgotten. She rushed about with her hat and gloves still on, opening windows, flapping a towel to clear the smoke away, glad of having something to do. “HE’LL COME OVER pretty soon,” Phoebe thought, sitting motionless by the living room window. The wind made a Continued On Page 12 y by CLAUD NORTH CHRISMAN, M. D. that we were very slow in real- izing that contact of air with the skin was a pronounced aid to the functions of the skin in perspiration and in body breath- ing. It should be known to all of us that the skin is of great im- portance in waste elimination. Frequent and deep friction of the skin, ‘aided by soap and warm water, gets rid of layers of used tissue, as well as rid- ding the surface of "acid mois- ture and an accumulation of grime, which makes a valid medium for the growth of bace teria. } This type of cleanliness may be extended to include the muscle tissues beneath the skin, since the help we give to them in exercise and massage aids in riddance of fatty layers which may be in the way of exerting the friction they must provide for the consumption of oxygen, Hands are the medium most frequently used in communica- tion with. the world outside the body. We cannot begin too early to teach the child that many things he touches in the course of a day will be the field for the cultivation of bacteria, and that many times a day the hands should be thoroughly washed. This is especially true of the school child housed for several hours with many other children and exposed to much contagion. Books, pencils, desks, toilets— all are media of communicable disease, and the careful washing of hands as soon as the child re- turns home is safety rule num- ber one. Care of the feet may spell the difference between health and misery in after years, for most of our foot troubles begin in childhood: Fresh stockings and dry, well-fitted shoes should be the rule for everyday for the little ones. All of us find it necessary for comfort to bathe and dress the feet often be- tween tasks. All sorts of inflam- mations and sometimes actual infection grow out of neglected feet. : The hair accumulates dust and grime, in addition to the normal excretions of the scalp, and its beauty is soon dimmed and its texture ruined if its care is not maintained regular- ly. This outside care is only the beginning of the task of keep- ing the body healthfully clean. It is a sorry commentary on e of sanitation not sages of the system as they per- form their daily tasks. It should be just as necessary to flush the nose and larynx, to scrub the teeth and gums, to refresh the mouth, as to wash the face and hands at night. Eyes would be brighter and vision clearer if, at least at night before retiring, the eyes were bathed in some mild solu- tion and the eyeballs washed with a good eye wash. r t LO trees. TOWN COVER: RAVINE THEATER Union County, Illinois ANNA and JONESBORO One of the beauty spots of the state of Illinois is the Ravine Theater, built by two southern Illinois communities which had been bitter rivals until recent years. The Ravine Theater seats 1200 and its con-, struction was inspected and approved by Lorado Taft, famous American sculptor. The ramp and stage were built of stone from the same quarry which furhished the original millstones for the \ old water wheels of this locality. Old antagonisms and ill will became things of the past when the two communities joined hands in building the Anna-Jonesboro Community High School on the dividing line of the two. Next came the transforming of the gully on the 22-acre campus from a village dump to the Ravine Theater and now the construction of an arbor- etum, which already has specimens of 450 native John J. Pelley, president of the Association of American Railroads, was a student and later a teacher at old Union Academy, the last institu- 4 tion of its type in southern Illinois, when the high Fi school replaced it in 1918. Frank Willard, creator 4 of the Moon Mullins comic strip, attended the : school at the top of the gully. | | TOWN CROSS WORD PUZZLE 1 2 3 (4 |5 6 {7 8 {9 }j10 11 12 3 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 (20 21 22 23 24 25 [ 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 |34 a: . 35 36 |37 38 | 39 40 : 41 : 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 |50 51 52 53 54 55 SOLUTION NEXT WEEK HORIZONTAL 35—Primitive boat “1—O0ld Turkish government 6—Greek goddess 12—A derivative of morphin 13—Subdivision of an army 15—Tiny seed 16—Nevada city 17—State (abbr.) 18—Martinique Island volcano 19—Perch 21—Foot-like part 22—River in Germany 23—Scandinavian epics 24—Injured 25—Over (poet.) 26—Harmonized 27—Compact 28—Common earrier (abbr) 29—Value in money - 80-—Ballerina ~ ?
