FLOORS are only as beautl-
l. full as the orientals which
decorate them.
To select an oriental one must
consider many things-the
weave, the country and people
where it IS made. the texture.
design and color combinations.
Beginning this week and con-
tinuing each week throughout
the year until the entire num-
ber of rug countries is covered.
Nejib Hekimian will exhibit one
type OF rug-a display of all the
rugs of that type-which you
are invited to come to see and
examine with no obligation
whatsoever. There are PAM
phlets there on the rug of that
week which explain to you in
full detail all about 1.-THE cUun-
try it is made in, the people of
that country, the weaving, ETC.
and you yourself may feel the
rug and examine it.
The oriental for this week is
the Serapi-G -Georavan.
Nejib Hekimian invites you
this week (and each following
one) to this oriental rug ex-
hibit. You are under no obliga-

Your Health How to Keep It.
 Causes of Illness
BY DIR. MORRIS F]SHBEIN
 Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hyecia. the Health Magazine.

The problem of preventing heart disease among the public seems 10 be more and more a question of education.
 In most instances involvement of the heart takes place insidiously in childhood and the persons do not have proper treatment until the condition has developed so far that any treatment is unavailing.
 In many schools nowadays chil- dren are examined regularly and are not permitted to indulge in Sc we're exercises If the hearts are found to be infected.
 Moreover, the presence of infect may he associated with the devcl- opment of heart trouble, should be determined early and these infect ed conditions controlled by removal of the infected parts. Whenever a dccayed tooth or the root of a tooth is associated in the mouth of child with an ahsccss of the gums, the tooth should be pulled.
 The symptoms, formerly passed off as growing pains are now be- licved to be, in most instances, rheumatic infections resulting from infections elsewhere in the body.
 One of the most common causes of heart disease, as point ed out hy Dr. A. Levcnson. is the attempt to take up active life too soon after passing through measles, scarlet fever, diphtheria or any other infectious disease Rest in bed during and following infectious diseases is important in order that the tissues of the heart, which have been under sever strain and which are per haps dcgoncrated because of the action of the poisons associated with the bacteria. may have op- portuni:y to rccupcratc. Rest in led means absolute rest.
 The child with a defective heart should not be permitted to run about, and certainly if it has fever should not even be permitted to attend to it's own toilet and hy- glene

It was two or three days since Peter had seen Mr. Blacksnake up in the Old Pasture. He wondered if Mr. BlaCksnake would return. He had a feeling that he would. So he wasn't at all surprised when he ran across MT. Blacksnake up by a greet pile of stones. Mr. BlaCksnalie was asleep. At a distance. Peter thumped the ground slightly. In stantly MT. Blacksnake lifted his head.
 Good morning. Mir. Blacksnake, " said Peter. "I hope you are feeling as fine as you look. Did you go down to the Old Briar-patch ?"
 Mir. Blacksnake nodded. "Y s." said he. T went down to the Old Briar- patch and I went all through it."
 Peter tried not to show how inter ested he was. Did you find any mice down thcre?" he asked.
 "Ies,' said Mir. Blacksnake.

boys who wish to go can be collected
by the Y. M. c. A. officials.
Officials of the "Y' announced last

camp who apply for the privilege but
that if more apply than can be cared
for the most deserving cases will be
considered until funds have given out.
The program will be published to-
morrow. The picture that will be
shown is one that will appeal to every
one. The plot is laid in the state OF
Sonora in the days when the mining
rush was on and when 'bad men"
we're plentiful. The picture is one that
is full of thrills and excitement rules
supreme. The stars are Dorothy Devore
and Rex Maynard and they head
wonderfully selected cast.
The vaudeville alone will be worth
the price of admission. The HI-Y boys
hope to see you there.
