-_ April 17, 1926 WINNETKA TALK Don't Mention The Scores But Had a Fine Time Two basketball teams of the Girls' Athletic club of Community House journeyed to Lake Forest Tuesday evening for return games with teams of Lake Forest college, the scores of which the local teams say it is not necessary to publish, but they are very desirous for everyone to know that they had a most delightful time. The former games with the Lake Forest teams on the local court were also victories for the visitors and it was not with any anticipation of win- ning new laurels, in the way of vic- tories, that the teams of the Girls' Athletic club matched these events with Lake Forest college, but rather for the pleasure and profit to be gained by meeting these highly effici- ent organizations, who are just now closing a most successful season in the way of victorious matches. The Win- netka girls will maintain their club organizations until next season and, with the start which they have made this year, anticipate some record games in their favor next year. The personnel of the teams who went to Lake Forest, Tuesday evening, follow : First team--Harriet Nelson, captain; Dorothy Allen, Katherine Flinn, Lola Luensman, Marie FEckart and Flor- ence Anthony. Second team--Alice Austin Louise Eckart, Florence Williams, Carol Fos- sum, Caroline Bolkow and Josephine Hill. Calhoun county raises more apples than any other county in Illinois.

It's neglect how- ever that is. Eyestrain is nerve- strain. You cannot go on for- ever wasting nerve-energy with- out ill effects. Oft-times the eyes themselves give no indica- tion of trouble, yet pains over the eyes, or in back of the head, indigestion or irritable disposi- tion may be the result. The most serious effects from con- tinued neglect is a complete breakdown due to nerve exhaus- tion. Such cases are becoming alarmingly frequent. 16 years of successful practice DR. O. H.
