With returns from alumni Of SO of
the So classes, which have graduated
from Cony high school since 1871 in
the hands Of the invitation commit
tee, the great reunion and banquet
of the alumni of the Augusta school
is fast assuming most representa-
tive aspects. Acceptances have come
to Chairman Lewis A. Burleigh of
the invitation committee from all
over New England and from New
York. The first classes to graduate
from the old schol will be represent
ed by one or more alumni, and, to
date a total Of 1852 old grads have
signified their intentions Of being
present at this event, which will be
held at the Cony high school assem-
bly, hall on the evening of June 10,
and which promises to be an his
toric and memorable occasion.
The program committee announced
yesterday that Burleigh Martin, '06,
will be the toastmaster for the BAN
quet; Lawrence Purinton, '16. will be
the song leader. and Samuel Tit
comb, '01, the pianist.
It was announced Wednesday by
Chairman Burleigh that all former
or not, are cordially invited and ex-
pected to attend this grand reunion.
The only reason that the invitations
were not sent out to all who at any
time were students at the school was
that there are no records of names
available for many of the classes. All
who through lack Of proper address
es did not receive the invitations, but
intend to participate in the festivi-
ties. are requested to send a post
| card signifying that intention to the
Cony alumni reunion invitation COM
| mittee.
Besides the 1852 graduates of other
years who have returned affirmative
| answers to the Invitations. the los
members of the class Of 1924 will also
attend practically 10000, so. without
doubt, the spirit of old Cony which
has lived on through two generations
will be rampant on that night.
John Clair Minot of Boston will be
the principal speaker at the banquet
session. and there will be short snap
py talks by other prominent gradu-
ates and students representing the
army of loyal sons and daughters
who have gone out the wide portals
of the school on the hill to take up
their tasks in the worlds work.
Songs and cheers will also be In or
der, and IL ever the roof beams over
assembly hall can he raised from
their anchorages. they will be on the
night of June 10.
In the returns which have already
been received there IL as yet no rep
preventative of the classes from 1879
to 1876. rs. so. 'S2. IS. 'S7. 80, 81.

ton committee.

med maidenhair ferns, delicate oak
ferns. spinulose. var dentatum, three

native home.
Under the shelter of the pines the
twin flower made a wondrous carpet.

MALNUTRITION
Malnutrition is starvation of the
body cells brought about by faulty
metabolism through the wrong
choice of foods, or through lack of
digestion and assimilation of cor
rect food owing to faulty habits of
living. Both factors are equally
detrimental. The body must be in
the best of condition in order to re-
ceive Nhe entire benefit from the
foods eaten. And the foods them
selves must contain such properties
as will give the body the best posi-
Bile materials to work with.
OF course, all parents desire to
have their children develop normally
and be strong and healthy. But the
evils of malnutrition are not thor
oughly understood and appreciated.
There would not be o,000,0 600 NAL
nourished children in this country If
their parents had realized the dan
ger associated with malnutrition.
Parents who neglect their, children,
unwittingly, even, are not fulfilling
their natural obligations to their
children or their country. Every
mother and father should take in
ventory and see just how much they
are doing to make their boys and
girls physically fit and mentally alert
i'm other words, to help their chill
dren to make the most of their lives
What Causes Malnutrition
Both faulty health habits and
wrong foods bring about mall
nourished condition. The main causes
are:
Food insufficiency
Faulty assimilation
Disorders in digestive tract
Poor food selection
Improper cooking
? Over-fatigue
Bad posture
Diseased organs
Bad home influence Qack of dis
cipline)
Faulty health habits
Faulty food habits
How to Recognize Malnutrition
When child Is listless, pale, irri-
table, and underweight, and has
flabby muscles, fnicky appetite, lus-
terless hair, and dull eyes - these
are danger signals. Consult your
physician or health centre without
delay. Fortunately - r1alnutrition
can be overcome if taken in time.
Mal-nourished children are an easy
prey to disease-particularly to tu-
berculosis which fourishes among
the under-nourished. AS a result
every mal-nourished child threatens
the rest Of the community. Con-
tagious disease once started among
the weaklings becomes menace to
everybody else. For your child's
sake, as we'll as for the community's
sake. keep him we'll and fit. Get a
height and weight chart and use it
, regularly. Many concerns give
these away free. -

ANCIENT TOWNS IN ARIZONA UNEARTHED
Villages 1000 Years Old Are
 Being EXcaVated

Tucson, AriZ.. April io.-Euins ol ten villages. estimated to be more than i,o0O years old, have been dis covered in the hills northwest Of here by Bryon Cummings, professor of an thropology at the University of Ari- zona. and his students.
 The shells of these villages rescm- bic inc famous ruins of Casa Grandc, but are on ii smaller scale. Like the villages Of many Of th" earlier abori- zines Of North and south America these consisted of but one large house each, divided into numerous adjoin- ing rooms.
 The excavations indicated that the ten communal dwellings represented two distinct cras, separated perhars by q few hundred years. In the Vil- lages of what was deemed the earlier period the floors were of clay and the walls had been made by plaster ing clay around number Of upright sticks. In the later homes stones had been worked in with the clay and sticks. Remains Of pottery were found on the sites Of some of the Nil- lagcs.
 Professor Cummings said some ol these community houscs had held as many as iao persons. According 10 his estimate. the later villages We're halit about l.eon years aGo. while the earliest of the group probably were made a great while before.
 Further excavations in the vicinity are planned.
