A HEALTH TALK,

And he anointed his body in oi1,~ an old Biblical passage reads.
 In the midst of civilization and worldly progress one does not have to speculate at great length on what some of these old Biblical phrases mean. Tn one form or another they exist to this day.
 That of the oiI-anointins is most common, for in the time of Rome, and even before, the public bath was a. necessity. In magnificent natator- iu1ns thousands of Romans gathered daily by law. For with the Roman soldier and populace the value of cleanliness was well known and in- sisted upon.
 After the hot-air bath and the pro- fuse sweat, the bodies always were given a massage and an oil rub to Timber up the muscles and make them more pliable. The art is not dead but has been enhanced. Ex- pertS at the Atlas Turkish Baths give many such rubs nightly.

Many friends gathered at the Am

grounds Friday afternoon to observe
the planting of trees, by the boys of

memory of Sumter county boys who
gave their lives in the World War.

Invocation.
Song (Tune American
eve, children of the free,
Come here to plant this tree
With prayer and son;
A living sign to stand
OF live to to Fatherland,
While years prolong.
Dear God of Nature, grant
This tree which now we plant
May live and grow
To bless with strength and grace
This loved and cherished place,
Each leaf tiny face
Our love to show. "-P. Harlow.
Prayer-Theoditus Stukes.
Why we plant these trees-Henry
Everette, Jr
A fitting memorial must have two
outstanding features-beauty and
permanence. Nature which creates
the most beautiful things, shows her
wonderful handiwork in Gods trees
and in appreciation of their beauty
makes them the oldest living things
upon the earth. Mans. three score
and ten years are as a day compared
with the lasting permanence of the
giant sequoas of California and va
rious trees of the Orient and thu
tropics. When you plant a tree you
give life to that which will, barring
accident. live longer than any HUI
man being then upon the earth, OF
any animal, or any plant except an
other tree. Let us, then, boys Of
the Christian Endeavor society, thu
Armistice Day, in the name of oul
boys sleeping on the plains of France
plant as memorials these peaceful
permanent trees, that the memory OF
their sacrifice may be kept greer

Factories and dwellings can be quick
