The interest shown in the announc.
ed lecture BY Helen Keller and her
teacher and companion, Mrs. John
Macy. at the Grana Opera House on
Wednesday night, Feb. 16, 1916, has
already proven this to be one OF the
events OF the year in this city. The
lecture Is one OF the.most remarkable
human chronicles ever told, and those
who have !. heard Miss Keller realize
that there could be no stronger exam
iple of optimism and courage shown
than in this triumph of one thrice
barred from the world.

her. speak, and after seeing how she
has made the outside world come to
her and become normal part OF her

him manager OF the whole company.
II this is 40 I think it will do more
toward giving Dicka sense OF re-
sponsibility5 than anything else In the
world. sometimes wish that it had
been harder climb for Dick and me
financially. We have always lived SO
well and Dick, even with all his ex-
travagance. has been splendid pro-
wider. However i think we have
both demonstrated that money does
not bring happiness.
Sometimes i am like Dick little
superstitious and think that when we
have all we want financially fate
evens up things by taking something
else that you want very much away
from you. i know that Annie and
Tim are really happier than Dick and
I and they have as yet comparatively
little, but they, are winning the game.
AS these thoughts were fitting
through my brain I looked up and
caught Dicks eye His hand came
out to clasp mine and suddenly I knew
that Dick was perfectly honest when
he said that he only really wanted me

HEALTH HINTS.
HEALTH DUTY

Few people would Willingly endan-
ger the life and health Of fellow
being. Yet many people endeavor to
eyade rational restrictions necessary
for the protection of others.
In 1.-THE; enforcement Of the laws for
the protection OF public health num-
erous instances occur which show how
the innocent are made to suffer for the
,carelessness of Others.
Rather than undergo a temporary
restriction OF their usual activities,
people will often expose others to
communicable disease, for instance
scarlet fever.
Measles, whooping cough and q
number OF common ailments Of child
hood are looked upon as inevitable
by people who are ignorant Of the
dangers of these diseases and the
possibility of avoiding them.
It Is criminal to expose children to
disease because Of the belief that
they will eventually fall a victim to
it.
Don't try to be strong man," for
the champion athlete often over
strains himself. Be a moderate but
persistent exponent Of daily exercise.
