not a panacea for all ills. Our coordinated
efforts will mean a quicker
realization of the normal child, who
should be, free from defects, in buoyant
health, well nourished, constantly practicing
health habits, trained so that he
has reasonable interest and skill in
wholesome play and games, protected
against communicable diseases (by
serology in diseases where accepted
serums are to be obtained), in normal
mental health, and developed with adequate
emotional control and social adjustment.
Begin With Parents
To have normal, robust children who
are free from defects and disease as
far as is humanely possible and possessing
wholesome ideals built upon a
groundwork of healthful habits, we
must start with the grandparents and
then with the parents and continue this
work until ill-health is looked upon
with shame.
We must, further, desire not only
maximum health during school life, but
its fruition in young men and women
who shall have sound bodies, sound
minds, and a happy outlook upon life.
This will enable them to contribute
most to their own future and to the
future of the nation and the race.

A RUNAAVAY GIRL
(A True Story)
Once when I was a small girl my
mother asked me to go to Lizzie Butler's
house and get some beans and
corn meal. I said, "All right." I went
to Lizzie's home and told her mother
what my mother wanted. She gave
them to me. I played with Lizzie for
a long time. My mother called me to
come. I went home and took her the
beans and meal.
After a while I took my cat and ran
away. My mother did not see me. I
went to my aunt's house and ate dinner.
Then I went to the woods and
picked some blackberries and ate them.
A boy saw me. I threw a stone at him.

He ran to my home and told my
He said, "I saw Pennie
in the woods eating some blackberries."
My mother said to the boy,
"Tell Fennie to come home." He ran
to me and said to me, "Your mother
wants you." I went home. My mother
scolded me for running away. I hung
my head.

A REMINDER
If you are a parent and have children
anywhere between six months and six
years of age especially ; and if you have
not already done so, now is a fine time
to have your physician or the health
officer give them toxin-antitoxin to protect
them from diphtheria.
This kind of vaccination requires
three doses to be effective, just like the
typhoid vaccination. It is given with
a hypodermic needle and it does not
hurt the child much. There is seldom
any untoward after effects. The treatments
are given at intervals of one
week, and beginning sometime about
three months after the last treatment
an immunity against diphtheria is
established, which is effective in preventing
an attack in at least eighty
per cent of children so protected.
Go on and have it done now. Tou
might be sorry sometime you failed
to take advantage of this protection
for your child.
Remember it is not able
to protect itself and is dependent entirely
upon you.
THE ONLY CURE
If you don't feel just right.
If you can't sleep at night.
If you moan and you sigh,
If your throat feels dry.
If you don't care to smoke.
If your food makes you choke.
If your heart doesn't beat.
If you're getting cold feet.
If your head's in a whirl
