DISEASE At SCHOOL
Chicago Health Department Tells
of Germs in Sweets.
City Bureau Issues Timely Advice TO
Children 10 Swap Pencils or
Marbles, But Not to Trade
Apples or DelIeaeles.

Chicago a series OF health
grams" directed to the adults OF Chi
oago, tho health department has
turned its attention TO instructing the
school children in ways OF avoiding
disease.
The weekly bulletin OF the depart
ment was called "schoolgrams" and
contained much pertinent though pithy
advice for the youngsters Of the city.
Don't swap candy, chewing gum or
apples" "skidoo from the boy or girl
with the sore throat" keep that pen.
ell out OF your mouth"-these are
some Of the bits of advice offered in
language that every schoolboy or girl
can understand.
Some OF the "schoolgrams" are as
follows:
Let the first lesson be-how 10
keep well.
You'll be brighter, learn more and
keep in better health II your teacher
will keep the windows of the school
room open. Bad air makes a sluggish
brain.
DO unto others as you would have
others do unto you-meaning: Don't
carry disease germs to school and
cause sickness and perhaps death
among your playmates. II you have a
contagious disease at home keep en-
tirely away from all other children.
Stay at home II you have a sore throat
"A little sore throat in one little
child may cause a big lot OF trouble
for many other children. Many little
sore throats' are in reality dlphtheria.
Wash the drinking cup thoroughly
before putting It TO your mouth. The
child which used II just before you
may have left the germs OF disease on
It. Wash the germs off,
Keep that pencil out Of your mouth.
II may have scarlet fever, diphtheria
or typhoid fever germs on It.
Swapping gum. swapping apples
and swapping candy are about the
dirtlest things-and the most danger
Gus things-that a child can do. Don't
be that dirty.
Keep your hands clean. Soap is
your good friend-dirt is your worst
enemy.
Eat very little candy-treat your
stomach well and you'll live longer.
Never buy candy or fruit at an
open stand on the street Files have
left all kinds OF dirt on It and dirt
from the streets has been blown upon
IL.
when you play, play out Of doors
but never play in dusty places.
Don't run to school-especially just
after eating. Start in time so that
you will not have to run.
BE well and you'll be happy--even
In school"

TRUTH IN DAHIES

to the contrary. that the daily paper
provides a sort of first course I'm liter
ature. and ! am an immense admirer
Of the clear incisive style adopted by
the half-penny prers
1T stimulates curiosity, and when
once you have done that in any hui
man being you have started him on
the right road. The one deadly thing
is apathy. The COW in the field has no
note of Interrogation. The savage
might see an aeroplane and not won
der. You can lead a man from the
curbstone TO the stars when you have
once made him curious. A newspa-
per forces a man to be curious.
THE dear old truth! That's all we
want. The truth is so beautiful. so
amazingly interesting. so much more
wonderful than fiction. Therefore
say that, quite apart from morality.
II is policy for a paper TO tell the
truth It is policy in much the same
way for a paper to keep itself pure.
because the mass of the people are
essentially serious. Life hits most OF
them very hard, and hard hitting does
not make a frivolous generation"
