RECREATION FOR ALL

During those busy years, Kennewick people, like
others the nation dreamed of the days when peace
would come, when men, and children could find
time to play again.

against typhoid fever was
shown, he related when two

suffering from scrub typhus,
did not shake off the fever
until three days after they got
the drug.
Puzzled, the doctors investi-
gated and found they had
cured, not scrub typhus, but a
