WINNETKA TALK January 14, 1928 Lee Says:-- LIFE is made up of TWO things, hoping FOR rain-and wishing IT would quit. We don't blame you people for wondering what in the world the doctor is talking about when he makes out a prescription. We used to wonder ourselves until we got into the prescription business. Now we're ready to fill any prescription you bring us. Come ahead! --0 0 O---- Fifteen years ago when they didn't use them for any* thing else, "hot water bottles" may have been a good name. But now that we're using them for.cold water bottles and ice packs, etc., we'd suggest that they call them general utility bottles, or something like that. Need any "general utility" bottles? We have a dandy at $2.50. £19 O01 They can't tell us the drug store business isn't an edu- cation in itself. There's a regular semester course of French in: the names on our perfume bottles. We don't understand what they all mean in French but in American they mean 'plenty good' perfume. THQ OF O16) 1 If you want our honest opinion, we'll have to say that Luick's Wisconsin Ice Cream is just a little bit better than any other brand of ice cream we ever tasted. That's why we serve it here exclusively. US0I0 010 Luick's - Week-End -.

Monday evening. The canvass has been in progress only since December 11. Five hundred fifteen people pledged the foregoing amount, which, it is anticipated, will be increased materially when others, whom the canvassers were unable to see, have had an opportunity to make their pledges. Some of these are out of the village at present, and it is expected, it is said, that the final report will not be completed for two or three months. Two Districts Tied Carl Easterberg, who conducted the money raising campaign, presented the report from canvassers in the two dis- tricts, declaring the result of the con- test to be a draw. The report made Monday evening to the finance committee will, in turn, be made by the latter committee to the church. The next step in the pro- cedure will then be determined. The meeting Monday evening was a jolly affair, a veritable celebration of the successful achievement, for which lavish compliments were bestowed. James White presided, and im- promptu speeches were made by many, including Judge Charles Thompson, William D. McKenzie, William C. Boy- den, George Everett, John W. Scott, Fred Scott, and Rev. James Austin Richards. Canvassers Enthusisatic William C. Boyden, one of the can- vassers, expressed the sentiment of every one of his co-workers in the cam- paign when he declared he never had a happier time than he had enjoyed during the past two weeks. He was enthusiastic over this church, he said, the building of which he declared is a community enterprise in which every- one who has any interest in this church will want to participate. The whole spirit of the church he said is finer than he had ever known it. George Everett spoke on the amount of satisfaction each will have because of having taken part in this effort, and Rev. James Austin Richards spoke of the spiritual significance of the whole thing. Mrs. Katherine Hannah Dies at Kenilworth Home Mrs. Katherine Hannah, 417 Ab- bottsford road, Kenilworth, passed away last Friday at the age of 73 vears. Death was caused by pneumonia following an illness of several days. Funeral services were conducted from St. Xaxier's church on Monday of this week. Mrs. Hannah had been a resident of Kenilworth for a period of about ten years. She is survived by two daugh- ters, Mrs. A. T. McIntosh and Mrs. Arthur Newton, and a son, A. W. Han- nah, all of Kenilworth. Kenilworth Trustees to Renew Lease on Offices At the meeting of the Kenilworth Village board last Monday night a resolution was adopted providing for the re-leasing of the present offices occupied by the Village through the State Bank and Trust company of Ev- anston as representatives of the estate of Charles F.
