WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, AUGUST 23, 1924 FIND BODIES OF BOY AND GIRL WHO DROWNED The bodies of Edward Crowe, 12 years, and Dorothy Brady, also 12, who were drowned in the lake, off Hubbard Hill, on Tuesday, August 12, were found floating off the Wilmette beach in the vicinity of Elmwood avenue, Saturday afternoon, August 16. Two girls, whose names the officers failed to get, telephoned police head- quarters at 3:30 Saturday afternoon that two bodies were in the lake. Patrol- man Joe Steffens responded and recov- ered the body of Edward Crowe. At 6 o'clock that evening the body of Dor- othy Brady was taken from the lake close to the place where the Crowe boy's body was found. When the bodies were recovered they were sent to the John E. Maloney mort- uary at 1359 Devon avenue, Rogers Park. That of the Crowe boy was in a good state of preservation, but the girl's remains had been badly decom- posed. Corner Oscar Wolff was notified and will hold an inquest at 1 o'clock, Satur- day, August 23, in the Maloney under- taking rooms. Funeral services for both children were held from Holy Cross church, Chi- cago, on Tuesday morning, August 19. Interment was made in Mt. Olivet cemetery. The mother of Edward, Mrs. Gertrude Crowe, is a widow whose home is at 851 East 63rd place, Chicago. Dorothy Brady's mother is a widow, too, and a sister of Mrs. Crowe. Her home is at 6615 Winchester avenue, Chicago. Mrs. Crowe is passing the summer at 1050 Private road, Hubbard Woods, caring for the home of George L. Smith during the family's absence.

VACATION IS HEALTHY A vacation of two or three weeks an- nually is a distinct aid to health says Dr. Isaac D. Rawlings, state health di- rector but vacation doesn't mean idle- ness. For farmers and others who live August 25," at 3! and labor in the rural district a visit to the city and participation in the urban entertainments is a splendid way to spend a vacation while for the city dweller a couple of weeks in the great out-of- doors is an ideal program. The greatest benefits from a vacation come to those who make the most com- plete changes in activity and environ- ment, provided their time is pleasantly spent. An office man for example, should live out-of-doors and go in for swimming, tennis, golf and other sports while the bricklayer and the mechanic would profit most by pursuing the an- cient art of fishing, pitching horse shoes, or other mild forms of recreational ex- ercise. A job on the farm would be a splendid temporary change for the city fellow who cannot afford the expense of a more care-free vacation. Like all other good things, vacations have their disadvantages. One should avoid over-exertion, insanitary surround- ings and contaminated food and water. A pretty good rule to follow is to use common horse sense about exercise and never drink water or eat food unless its safety is reasonably certain. WARNING SIGNS Diseases are simply the diciplinary means employed by nature in her efforts to make folks adjust themselves prop- erly to their environments. If people insist upon eating too much, nature an- swers with excessive fat and the disor- ders that accompany it. If people in- sist upon mixing food supplies and sew- age, either because of ignorance, lazi- ness or short sightedness, nature answers by causing such intestinal diseases as typhoid fever. If folks insist upon too intimate a contact with each other, na- ture replies with diseases like measles, scarlet fever, diptheria. In short, nature has all life, both animal and vegetable, and inanimate things in the world to look after so that when one form of life, like human beings, violate the laws of na- ture, the discipline is certain and severe. The way for humans to avoid trouble is to learn and obey the laws of living and public health service is the business of teaching and interpreting those laws. MILLION DEFECTIVES Nearly a million individuals, or about one in every 100 of the population, were confined in the federal, state, city, county and private institutions for defectives, dependants, criminals, juveniles, delin- quents, mentally diseased, feeble minded, and epileptic on January 1, of this year, according to the U. S. Public Health service. In addition to this nearly five million patients were treated in the hos- pitals of the country during last year. Obviously the burden of caring for the unfortunates concerned is tremendous and since the condition of a vast number of them is due primarily to preventable dis- eases, the fact recited gives some idea of the need of extending public health ser- vice, says Dr. Isaac D. Rawlings. TYPHOID BREEDING Eighty-three cases of typhoid fever that occurred recently in New York City were traced to an infected brook in an out-lying district. Investigation proved that a blocked up sewer had over- flowed and was discharging some of its load into the stream. It seems very dif- ficult to prevent sewage from contamin- ating water and food supplies, says the state health commissioner, but it is ab- solutely necessary for health's sake. Every case of typhoid fever is a big danger signal put by nature adver- tising the fact that somebody, somewhere is mixing human wastes with human drinikng water or food product.

If that was fresh meat we had, then I'm going to stick to ham and corned beef. But I don't suppose a butch- er can be blamed very much.. It must be an awful job to keep meat fresh this hot weather. Of course it is, if a mar- ket hasn't the proper equip- ment. But the man to do business with is the one with an up-to-date refrigerating equipment. You'll never get a tainted piece of meat out of PETERS iceboxes. He cools his meats properly and sells so much that it doesn't have a chance to get stale on his hands. Trade at PETERS MARKET, and you'll never have cause - for complaint.
