26 WINNETKA TALK November 17, 1928 An Era Of Color The well appointed table of the present day, can truly be called, "a table beautiful." For its setting is a change in fashion and color stands out as the leading factor in every perfect arrangement. During the formal dinner variety may hold sway to such extent that each course will bring a new surprise, perhaps in green, blue or deep red. Beautiful China when properly shown will prove this arrangement to be a most attractive one. the placing of colors must be understood and in this we offer our services. TATMAN A recognized authority on correct table settings EvansToN, 517 Davis St. CHicaco, 625 N. MICHIGAN AVE. To be sure, Christian Science Churches "Adam and Fallen Man" was the subject of the Lesson-Sermon in all Churches of Christ, Scientist, on Sun- day, November 11. The Golden Text was, "All Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob" (Romans 11: 26). Among the citations which com- prised the Lesson-Sermon was the following from the Bible: "And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: That whosoevér be- lieveth in him should not perish, but have eternal life" (John 3: 14, 15). The Lesson-Sermon also included the following passages from the Chris- tian Science textbook, "Science and Health With Key to the Scriptures," by Mary Baker Eddy: "When ad- vanced to spiritual being and the un- derstanding of God, man can no longer commune with matter; neither can he return to it, any more than a tree can return to its seed" (p. 76).

Isaac D. Rawlings, state health director. "Cerebro spinal meningitis," says Dr. Rawlings, "has not been so prevalent since 1918. Smallpox is more widely distributed than at any time since 1921. Pneumonia is running heavier than for three or four years. Never before since records have been kept have measles, tuberculosis and typhoid fever been less prevalent in the State. Dipth- theria is running a middle course. "Up to the beginning of November 379 cases of epidemic meningitis had been reported, a number greater than for any previous full year since 1918. The disconcerting feature about this is that meningitis tends to travel in epi- demic waves of ten to twelve years with the crest stretching out over two or three years. It has no particular seas- onal variation, as do most other com- municable diseases, but hangs on tenaci- ously until the outbreak runs its course, Some cases this fall are quite virulent in character. Precautions against the disease include the ordinary hygienic and sanitary practices that make for good health in general. "It ought to be a disgrace for any intelligent person to have smallpox but conditions are now right for a wide distribution of the disease in Illinois this winter. Well over a thousand cases have occured already this year and with scores of contacts moving freely among great unvaccinated blocks of the popu- lation the outlook is not reassuring. Some 32,620 cases have occurred in the State within the decade. Fortunately most of it has been mild but smallpox has demonstrated an uncanny capacity to change from the mild to the malignant and nobody can predict how any par- ticular epidemic will develop. "Pneumonia is right now about 25 per cent more prevalent than at this time last year with the main season for that disease just ahead. Case reports are now averaging about a thousand per month but that rate is likely to increase smartly as the winter advances. The very young and the very old are a little more likely to catch pneumonia than peo- ple of other age groups, although this disease shows a prodigal disrespect for age or station in life. It ranks as one of the most fatal of diseases, about one in four or five cases terminating in death and claiming a mortality of five to eight thousand annually in the State. Precautions against pneumonia include painstaking care of patients with colds, influenza, measles, bronchitis and the like, particularly during convalescence, avoiding over-fatigue from either dissipa- tion or work avoiding prolonged ex- posure to inclement weather, eating enough nutritious food and favoring the lungs with plenty of fresh air both night and day. Vaccination against pneumonia is practicable under certain conditions, ON RADIO MONDAY Miss Miriam Brubaker, director of the junior kindergarten of the children's school, National Kindergarten and Ele- mentary College, will speak on "What We Should Expect of the Pre-School Child in the Way of Health and Abili- ties" from station WMAQ, at 4:30 Mon- day afternoon, Nov, 19, Physical properties of Illinois insti- tutions under the state department of welfare have a total valuation of $38,622,656. This is $686,383 more than a year ago. During the year 1927 there were 1,866 deaths in Illinois classified as homicides.
