Good health is so radiant an attri- l>ute that mere “irregular features’’ are almost, if not entirely, unnoticed in their possessoT. Clear shining eyes, a smooth eouiplexioD, a cheerful smile, and a graceful carriage are what most impress their beholder. So true is this that the words “be healthy and you will be befTutiful” have almost become a slogan of doctors and physical edu cationists. To attain the beauty that is health, however, requires wisdom plus per severance. Every woman knows that slie does not look het best when she is tired out; she takes a nap if she pos sibly can before dressing for the thea tre, a dance, or to receive her guests. She also knows that even an hour’s complete relaxation in a beauty parlor works wonders with her mood, her ex pression and her feeling of self-confi dence. Is it not logical, therefore, that by careful and prolonged attention to the rules of rest, diet and exercise—in other words, to the rules of good health, the entire body can be developed to that physical perfection which is genuine beauty? All of us have heard the stout man or woman’s first defence, when the conversation turns to the subject of weight reduction; “some people were born to' be fat and others to be thin.” Its only weakness is that it is not true. Weight can be regulated to a considerable degree by food. The sub stances of the food we eat affects our avoirdupois, though the quantity does but little. It is not at all by accident that most chocolate eclair, whipped cream, pie consuming people are fat, thought they may eat but little other food. They may “eat no more than a bird, ■ ’ but an analysis of their menus generally reveals the fact that they “hate spinacli/’ “don’t like onions, ’ and “lettuce is so tasteless.” Yet these scorned vegetables add but little weight and are very necessary to the system, while potatoes, spaghetti, corn starch and creamed sauces though also nourishing, press one down heavily on the scales. Fatigue is unquestionably one of the greatest enemies to beauty. Poise and a graceful posture are impossible to a body that is too tired to stand erect; nor can food be properly digested in a stomach too fatigued to function normally. Besides a tired expression is almost always a disagreeable one Eight hours sleep is the minimum nightly required by the average person, and more if the system is a highly strung, nervous one. Fresh air is absolutely indispensable to the health and beauty seeker. To get enough of it, one need not play golf, ride horseback, or take a yachtiug trip, although these are excellent diver sions. If a person sleeps with windows open winter and summer, prefers brisk walk to a ride in a crowded caj, does as much of the day’s work as possible on the porch, in the yard, or in a well ventilated room, it is possible to inhale all the pure air the body requires. At first it may appear unnecessary to remind the housewife that the body needs exercise. Sweeping, dusting and making beds surely develop muscles. But in addition to these labors she, like her sister who spends her days seated at an office desk needs some form of exercise that is taken purely in the spirit of play. Gardening, for example, comes under this head; tennis is splendid even for the mature per son who may never be able to play well. The exhilaration of the game, the dashing about in the open air in pursuit of the ball have a tonic effect that routine housework can never have. Golf, canoeing, rowing and hiking, romping with the children, are also splendid “play” activities. As a closing bit of advice, there is no preventive of old age and wrinkles like freedom from worry. Further more, while worry remedies nothing at all, a successful fight against it leaves the mind free .to solve its diiiicult problems. In order to help make Americans a stronger and more beautiful people by spreading knowledge of health, the •National Tuberculosis Association and its affiliated organizations are conduct ing their eighteenth annual Christmas seal sale throughout the country in December. RELAriOtl UE CHUUCHES TU SCHUULS IS SUBJECT Rev. Dr. McCorkle, of Burlington, De plores Activity of Atheists. Dr. W. P. McCorkle, pastor of the Presbyterian church of Burlington, ad dressed the student body at the chapel hour Friday morning. Dr. McCorkle chose for the subject for this address “The State Educa tional System and Its Relation to the Churches.” The main theme advanced by him is that Christianity has its rights in a Christian commonwealth, and upon this theme Dr. McCorkle made a strong plea to the students to hold fast to the Christian principles upon which our nation was founded. Dr. McCorkle spoke first of the Chris tian principles upon which the Amer ican nation was founded, the Christian principles upon which the State Uni versity was founded, and declared that the State public school system was a phoduct of Christianity. He deplored the fact that atheists are now forcing their ideas into our educational system and called upon the students to combat this with all their might.

All Elon girls would like to know where they can get a speedometer. As they are not allowed to hike over a radius of 1 1-2 mies, using Elon for center of radius, they are very anxious to be accurate to the nth of an inch. Hereafter instead of wearing wrist- watches young ladies are urged to wear speedometers in order that the present accurate record may be maintained.
