Mrs, Haller
Visits Here.
Mrs. Frederick Haller Ellen
Thomas that was-has been in town
for the Easter vacation-or at least
for part of it. She went out to West
tern High, of course. She had charge
OF the physical training OF the girls
there, you know. The girls fiocked
around her with glad shrieks OF "Oh,
Miss Thomas: girls, here's Miss
Thomas" (utterly regardless of the
fact that II was Mrs. Haller) in joyful
crescendo, and all talking at once.
She's living at Hagerstown now,
you know, and II she had any idea of
dropping her work after her mar
riage, she has probably given IL up.
You know her cards read that she
would be at home in Hagerstown
after November l." But she was in
town shopping in October, and West
ern discovered II, and seemed to need
help SO badly that she went out, at
first just to help get her successor
started, and then she stood by to see
them through their fall hockey
matches
Inc morning after she reached
Hagerstown she was called to the
telephone, and was told that a COM
mittee wished to call on her that aft
ernoon. 1t turned out to be a COM
mite efrom a fine, big private school
there, which wanted to get her to
take charge of the physical training
for them, in the fine new gymnasium
they had just built She agreed to
that to the extent of one hour four
days a week. Then just lately the
county education commissioners or
board, or whatever they call them
selves, asked her IL she would give a
course Of instruction in physical
training to a teachers institute that
IL to be held at Hagerstown this sum-
mer, extending over a period of sew
eral weeks. And there seems TO be a
pretty good prospect of her having a
job OF general director of physical
training In the public schools of the
county, where they have never before
paid any attention to physical train
ing, thrust upon her.

Most persons recognize the con-
trolling force of habit in matters
that pertain to mental and moral
welfare of their children. Habit in
relation to the physical well-being
is as of great importance. Take. for
instance. the habit. too common
among persons OF all ages, of put
ting things into their mouths The
germs Of most infectious diseases
enter the system through the mouth.
Pencils. pennies. marbles, and num-
erous other things taken into the
mouth are always liable to have on
them the germs of some disease ac-
quired in passing form hand to
hand. Children can and should be
early trained to put nothing in the
mouth except food and drink. The
right order established AT the be
ginning of life may he maintained
more easily than a wrong order can
be changed when IL has become a
habit.

BY Dr. John " DukS State Health
Tuberculosis Week.

The first week in December,
from Dec. . to Dec. ., has been set
apart as "Tuberculosis Week" Al
ways tuberculosis is a problem which
mustbe faced in every community.
This year IL Is Of especial import-
ance that practical action should be
taken. The Federal Government
has requested that the assistance of
state health boards. as well as of To-
cal authorities and individuals CO.
operate. Attention will be concen-
trated upon the question. How to
Handle the tuberculosis Problem in
Connection With the War"
Instead of observing every day of
tuberculosis Week. IL has been de-
cided by the National tuberculosis
Association to concentrate all encr-
gies on three days. These will be
Medical Examination Day. Decem-
ber eth; Modern Health Crusade
Day. Friday. December eth: and Tu-
herculosis Sunday, December 9th.
On Medical Examination Day special
efforts will be made to induce men
and women to have an annual ply
steal examination as the best means
OF warding off tuberculosis. as well
AS many other illnesses On Mon
ern Health Crusade Day an oppor-
tunity will be given school choldrcn
to learn more about tuberculosis, es-
pccially ways of preventing and cur
ing it,
There is no question that many of
tn" conditions of modern warfare
tend to a marked degree to produce
tuberculosis. II has been stated on
good authority that 100000 SOL
diers in the French army are at pres
ent victims of this disease. Taking
into account the civil population as
VIII, II is conservatively estimated
that the total number of serious tu-
bercular cases in France is at least
half a million. This not only rep
resents a terrible situation. but Is a
menace to the vitality of the coun-
try. This Nation must learn by the
sad experience of our allies and
take preventive measures In time.
And such measures will, not be pos
sible without the cooperation and
sympathy OF the civil population.
