HEALTH oF DIsrRIoTs CHILDREN

The schools of the Warren District win on Au- gust 3l That is just eight days from today On the opeuine day the schools win an cleaned repaired inn proved perhaps and ready good shape for the years work
 Can you say the for your children?
 Are their teeth sound? How long is n since they have been to sec dentist? How their eyes2 And their throats?
 Ii used to be that when a child slow in school we said the child was dull and let 1t go at that The youngser simply didn't pass got discouraged, and then stopped school as soon as could He allowed to fall behind in the game of life and he caught up with the procession He just stayed dun and stayed slow and nobody cared much and his parents and friends thought it was just his way.
 But we know more about children than we used to know Nowadays when a child is slow in school we don't lay it to naturally dull mind We look sharply at his body Or at least that's what ought to do Per haps there is something wrong there which is hnderng his proper development
 What can a chuds teeth have to do with his brain? Everything. If his teeth bad he does not chew his food properly That part of his digestive work which ought to be done in the mouth where little grinding machines are and proper juices for it at that stage is neglected It's thrown the stomach which has troubles of its own The stomach is overaxed and some of the work thrown the ntestines and on down the line Nothing quite right the child does not feel well and does build up the amount of strength and energy often the child simply will eat certain kinds of food which because they hurt his teeth
 Some forms of dental decay throw poisons directly into the system the drain of force due to all forms is very great
 Many a child thought stupid or incorrsible has been made into bright and friendly little person by few visits to a good dentist
 Its the same about eyes. Sometimes a child is thought stupid who merely nearsghed and cannot tbe blackboard we'll But it's apt to be the bright child who is made nervous irritable by school work who needs eye attention Nothing gets ones nerves more quickly than looking at print with asugmatc eyes And DON'T say of any child in its hearing Isn't it too bad that child gasses?" Children sem sltiye and easily hurt about things If you must comment say Isn't that chd's parents were sem sibe enough to take care of his eyes!"
 And many a time a child who is taken to the ocust in time and is given the right glasses early enough may in later life go without Glasses are an inconvenience But they are deformity No child should be allowed to feel that they either for himself playmate who them They just like rubber and mittens bother but many times worth their trouble
 Then there are throats. Does your child breathe  his mouth open his fathers family They all do it." He doesn't-unless they an have adenoids enlarged tonsis and silly enough have them taken care of and to prevent Johny from having his treated
 teeth bad eyes, bad throats. these are real de- formues. quite bad broken legs. In fact they are often worse for if Johny breaks leg you ge Inc doctor quickly and do everything you to have il heal straight and true But but often mother thinks
 dental cavity is a trfHe It is today The cavity tha takes one twodollar visit today may hundred dollars and the child year Of school you let 1t go. And so with other things Prevention h better than Also cheaper Far better take John, and Susie and Harold and Jane all in batch dentists ocuist and doctor right away tomorrow and have don what Is necessary than let them go and pay dozel times as much in money and trouble later
 They are much less likely to catch the contagiou diseases. too f they are sound and we'll and have n weak spots for the germs to jump on with unholy glee
