NICOTINE

am the Spirit Nicotine;
'Tis l who glide the lips between
Through the lips I trace the brain
There l am mighty pain.
l pursue my fatal track
Down the arched and marrowy
back;
And the vertebrae grow slack.
Naught can hinder, naught car
swerve,
Pick my meal with knife and dart
From the palpitating heart;
Quaff the leaping crimson flood
Of the rich and generous blood.
l the yellow bile diffuse,
Paint the face in CHASTITY hues.
Muscle and sinew
May not continue
To hold their wonted naughty pride
The while l through the system
glide.
Slowly l my purpose wreak,
Slowly fades the blooming cheek.
Gloomy fancies I suggest,
Fill with fears the hardy breast.
The limbs then fail,
The lamp burns dim,
Life hears deaths hail,
And answers him.
Heart and liver, lungs and brain,
All their powers lose amain,
And yield to me;
And /! and I!
Laugh and see
My victim die.

HEALTH OF SCHOOL CHILDREN

A statewide movement to more
carefully supervise the health of the
children attending the rural schools
in Ohio will be launched as a result
of the report of the Ohio State School
Survey Commission.
AS a result of the strong recon-
mendations made in the report, an eff
fort will be made to extend modi-
fed form of medical and dental sup
ervision of school children into even
the most remote school district of the
state.
The movement will have the hearty
support of the state school authori-
ties, the state board of health, the
Ohio State Medical Association, and
the Ohio State Dental Society. as well
as the other public health organiza-
tions according to a writer in the
February number of the Ohio State
Medical Journal.
Under a plan recommended by the
school survey commission teachers
will act as medical and dental in
spectors in the smaller communities,
where the school board is not willing
or able to employ school physicians
and dentists.
Every rural school teacher will be
furnished with a QUESTIONABLE. These
contain number of questions so stat
ed as to bring out physical defects
in the child which the teacher has
under consideration. For instance, to
determine the child's nose and throat
conditions, the teacher is asked to
answer the questions: Does the child
ordinarily breathe with the mouth
closed; has the child we'll developed
chin; has he frequent "colds"; is he
usually free from complaints of sore
throat, etc.
Similar sets of questions are asked
relative to the teeth, eyes, tonsils,
ears. nervous conditions mentality,
etc. A report of these conditions is
made in the case of each child and
where the answers seem to indicate
>-s.ysical defects, the matter is re-
ferred to the child's parents with a
recommendation that the family ply
sician or family dentist be consulted.
In order to test the value of this sys-
tenn of health grading by teachers,
the state board of health, at the re-
quest of the school survey commission
gave it a thorough try-out in the
schools of Plain township, Franklin
county.
The teachers first observed the pu-
pills in their classes and made their
reports. DR.. E. r. Hayhurst and F.
G.. Bordeau, experienced medical ex-
aminers from the staff of the state
board of health, DR.. Homer c. Brown,
member of the state board of health
and president of the National Dental
Association, and DR.. F. R. Chapman,
secretary of the Ohio State Dental
Society, then made a personal inves-
tigation of the schools checking up
the teachers findings. In their re-
port to the school survey commission,
they stated that the teachers were
successful in finding so per cent Of the
physical defects in the children, and
that this modified form of medical in
spection for rural schools is a "step
in the right direction.

method Of teaching spelling was de-

forbidden country to the other was
practiced and favorably reported on. 1t
was called "visualiziation," and meant
that a mental picture was certainly
impressed on "the child's" mind by
merely looking at the word. 1t never
occurred to the visualizers that the

and that the drill they proposed to do
away with was all there was to the
spelling lesson.

THE CAR WITH A CONSCIENCE
Stability

The Oakland Motor Car Company
made it's first car in 1907.
So the Company is in its eight
manufacturing year.
We have followed the progress of
the industry and in succession have
made two, four and six-cylinder cars.
We built less than 800 cars in 1907.
In 1913 we produced over 5000 cars.
Consistent progress like this can
mean but one thing-that our founda-
tion was correct and on that founda-
tion we have built permanently and
for all time.
Consistent growth like this means
a host of satisfied owners. Owners
who have told others that the Oak
land is good car.
For 1914, we offer line Of beautiful
cars that are mechanically true.
Cars that are good to look at and
