The modern child in too many cases
does not get enough sleep and as a
consequence nervous disorders are in

The ages of five, six and seven years
are especially important in the devei-
opment of self-control and good hab-

good mothers and fathers: parent love
does not always point out the right
way
To preserve health is a moral and
religious duty: health is the basis %

The foregoing and many othe.
splendid points were brought out by
Miss Ava B. Milan. OF O. \. C. be-
fore an interested audience of women
At the county library yesterday after

Miss Milan in her talk explained
the possibilities of overcoming here
