Excellent points on the subject are made by the National Congress of Parents and Teachers in the following report ERVICE COSTS All parents are ambitious for their chil- dren. The future achievements of the nation depend upon how successful we are in the ful- filment of these ambitions. There are three great gifts which it is within our power as parents to pass on to our children. The first of these is good health, the most precious thing which any individual can possess. The second is home education. A pleasant, happy, wholesome well-rounded home and social life will enable the child in later life to gain a proper idea of the mental, moral, religious, and material issues of life and to live happily with his fellowmen. The third is a sound school education which will permit the individual to make the most of his opportunities. The importance of all these three gifts is universally recognized but we as parents have in large measure failed to undertake these comparatively simple measures which will help to assure the future good health of our children. That we have failed in the past is demonstrated by the fact that children of any given age have approximately the same number of physical defects today as did chil- dren of that same age who were examined ten or twenty years ago. ‘We need no arguments to impress us with fhe importance of good health but many of us are unappreciative of the underlying prin- ciples which govern good health or the factors which lead to its loss. Good health of growing children depends upon: (a) The development of healthy habits such as adequate sleep, rest, exercise, a well-balanced diet, personal cleanli- ness, and healthy mental attitudes. The removal of existing physical de- fects such as bad teeth, infected ton- sils, adenoids, poor vision, impaired hearing, hereditary tendencies, and others, (¢) Periodic nealth examinations. Because of the fact that the layman can- not recognize beginning physical defects and take steps for their correction_a complete an- nual health examination by a competent phy- sician and dentist is advisable. By following the advice of the physician and dentist and determinedly developing good health habits in our children we are fulfilling the obligations which we as parents must undertake if we are to assure ourselves of their future good health. This is the only way to do so. There is no satisfactory substitute. Habits are more easily formed in the very early years of life and are more lasting than ) SCHOOL CONCERT T0 BE GIVEN ON 2 NIGHTS HERE Program Announced by Those in Charge of Musical Depts. dals’ Reischardt Mi “Day Ruth Co! is Dying il “God is a Spirit’ ual) ley “Ave Maria” by “Glory” by Cadr Five musical organizations of the ¢ V.

Good health habits developed in very early child- hood will pay big dividends throughout life. It is far easier to keep the human machine running well or to make simple adjustments than it is to fix it after it has begun to break down. It is a great mistake to think that the human machine needs no expert attention in the very early years of life.

With one bullet through his body near the heart and with one bullet wound through the head, ranging from the left eye to the back of his right ear, Edward Krause, escaped murderer, for whom hundreds had been searching since the previous | Thursday night, was dead at Doty’s |cove.
