“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

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.

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. |
