School Children Physically Deficient.

ATLANTA, Ca, April 29-One-ha1f
OF the five thousand school children in
Fulton county schools are physically
deficient, according to the report Of
the school physician who has just COM
pleted an examination. The report
shows that majority of the defects
are caused by defective teeth, which
produce such things as neuralgia,
rheumatism, heart disease, etc. The
proportion of defective teeth is larger
among boys than among girls, and this
is explained on the theory that girls
are more careful of their personal ap-
pearance than boys.

contrary, we gave our
name to it because we be-
lieve il to be the best in

which prevents the salt
