No longer will she have to handle wet clothes, piece by piece. Just move a lever and in a jiffy the clothes are so dry they need only a few minutes in the sun. Blankets, bath towels and soft woolens come out of the FEasy's dryer with a soft fluffiness that is delightful. There are no deep wrinkles to iron out or broken but- tons to replace.

Raw- lings, state health director, who pointed out in a yuletide interview that the percentage of deaths from heart di- sease among persons less than thirty has dropped 40 per cent since 1918, while the number of fatalities from that cause among all ages went up 52 per cent. Mortality from heart disease in general has increased very markedly, the rate per 100,000 having risen from 150 in 1918 to 192 in 1927, but the in- crease has all occurred in the upper age strata. "In 1918 over ten per cent of all mortality from heart disease occurred among persons less than forty" Dr. Rawlings said. "Last year only six and a fraction per cent of all deaths from heart disease were among those less than thirty. Out of 10,402 deaths charged against heart disease in 1918, there were 1,131 among those less than thirty. Last year there were 15891 deaths from heart disease and 1,054 were among persons under thirty. Dur- ing the ten years the general population increased by nearly a million. "These statistics are most illumin- ating. Preventive medicine is the Santa Claus who is bringing better hearts to our boys and girls by keep- ing down infectious diseases. Heart trouble in persons less than forty is unsually the after effects of diseased tonsils, rheumatic fever, infected teeth, scarlet fever, diphtheria or some other preventable disorder. "Too many folks are still succumb- ing to heart disease at ages far too young. To die young from heart di- sease is really an accident. Keeping contagion out of the schools, stimu- lating the correction of physical de- fects in children and enforcing quaran- tine regulations are just as much ac- cident preventive services as traffic reg- ulations on the streets and highways. "Having a heart is coming to have a real meaning in Illinois." Mr. and Mrs, W. J. McDowell and their family, who came to Wilmette six- teen years ago, are moving from their apartment in the Linden Crest to their new home at 709 Mclean avenue, Kenilworth. --O-- Miss Janet Gordon, daughter of the George W. Gordons, 874 Lincoln ave- nue, returned last Saturday from Smith college. Her brother, John W. Gordon, who attends Hebron academy in Maine, will be home today.
