INSTRUCTION IN THE SCHOOLS
Children Being Taught the Nature and
Methods Of Prevention OF
Tuberculosis.

Definite instruction concerning the
nature and methods OF prevention OF
tuberculosis is being given to less
than six per cent. of the public school
children of the United States, accord
ing to a bulletin of the National Asso-
citation for the Study and Prevention
of tuberculosis. Recent investigation
has shown that in only nine cities,
Washington, Dallas Tex, Richmond,
Va. Poughkeepsie. n. Y. Detroit,
Mich, Maiden, Mass, Salem, Mass,
Saginaw. Mich. and Knoxville, Tenn,
are special text books being used or
lectures being given about tuberculo-
sis In three states and one territory
Michigan. Massachusetts, North Caro-
lima and Porto Rico, laws have been
passed requiring that instruction
about the nature and methods OF pre-
yenrion of tuberculosis be given in all
public schools. In Tennessee the
state department of education has re-
quested that such instruction be given
and has issued circulars for this pur-
pose In New Jersey and West Nir-

she had raised her head at the inter

A GOOD CHANGE
A Change of Food Works Wonders

The wrong food and drink causes
lot of trouble in this world. To
change the food is the first duty OF
every person that is Ill, particularly
from stomach and nervous troubles.
AS an illustration: A lady in Mo. has,
with her husband been brought around
to health again by leaving off coffee
and some articles of food that did
not agree with them. They began u.s.
ing Postum and Grape-Nuts food. She
says:
For a number OF years I suffered
with stomach and bowel trouble
which kept getting worse unutil was
very i'll most of the time. About four
years ago l left off coffee and began
taking Postum. My stomach and
bowels improved right along, but was
SO reduced in flesh and so nervous that
the least thing would overcome me.
Then l changed my food and be-
gan using Grape-Nuts in addition to
Postum. l lived on these two prin-
cpally for about four months. Day
by day l gained in flesh and strength
until now the nervous trouble has en-
tirely disappeared and l feel that
owe my life and health to Postum and
Grape-Nuts.
Husband is 73 years old and he was
troubled for a long time with occa.
sional cramps, and slept badly. Finally
prevailed upon him to leave off coffee
and take Postum. He had stood out
for long time. but after he tried
Postum for few days he found that
he could sleep and that his cramps
disappeared. He was satisfied and has
never gone back to coffee.
