KRUSEN GIVES ADVICE
TOPUPLS PARENTS
Director Urges Attention to I'm.
portant Hygienic Hints
Affecting Children

In message to parents, Director Krusen,
OF the Depastment of Health and Charities,
urges daily science hints to regulate the
moral and physical conduct of the child and
advises the grown-ups as to hygiene His
bulletin in part Is as follows:
First of all, children should not be per-
mtted to go to school without a good sfb-
stantial breakfast
Then again. all too often, parents allow
children to attend school with unclean hands
and face Disease spreads much more rap
idly among unkempt children and affects not
only thepselves. but others around them
instruct the children not to purchase foods
from the street venders. for their wares are
often contaminated by street dust
Don't permit the children to stay IN late
at nights. They require plenty of sleep in a
well-ventilated room
Teach them not to wet the fingers when
turning the pages of books Don't permit
them to put pencils or other objects in the
mouth or wet them with the lips
"A clean handkerchief should be provided
for each child Too often the sleeve is used
for this purpose--a cause for just criticism of
the parent.
Teach them that disease may be con-
tracted from other sick children and may be
transmitted by coughing or sneezing into
anothers face. They should be taught to
turn the face to avoid this"

CHAPTER I
The Colickety Shrub

Doggy was watching moving pictures of
the war being thrown on an outdoor
screen in the public playground near her
home Her pulse beat faster and cheers
came leaping unbdden from her throat as
she saw brave American soldier boys going
over the top. But her biggest thrill came
when there flashed into view battle high in
the air between Yankee and Hun airplanes
MY gracious. but I'd like to see a real
airplane fight she murmured. huggng her

beside her. 81 wonder If those airmen as
good fighters as we airbrds'
They look II - exclaimed Peggy enthusI-
astically. Then 1t struck her bit odd
that General Swallow was there. Il didn't
know that Birds liked moving pictures" she
added.
They don't. All Of Birdland is sound

But like fighting pictures and a military

just like her father winked when pretending
to make excuses for taking her to the circus

were only around the corner.
why Europe is thousands and thousands
of miles away" answered Peggy
That's nothing, if YOU eat Golckety
leaves" responded General Swallow.
What are Golickety leaves?' asked Peggy
"They grow the Golickety shrub" re-
piled General Swallow. IF you eat one you
can become any size you want to be. you will
be invisible, and can go through the air as
fast as you want to. Here's a Golickety
shrub, right here"
Peggy looked at the small reddish bush he
pointed out. Half doubtfully she picked one
of the fragrant leaves and nibbled on it
There no effect
"It doesn't seem to work. she said disap-
pointedly.
You have to say a little rhyme to make
the charm act declared General Swallow.
"Golckety small! Golickety fast!
oh. when 1t comes fall, why summer is past"
1t sounded like very foolish, mea ningess
rhyme to Peggy. but she tried it.
"GolCkety small, Golickety fast
oh wien it comes fall, why summer s past"
Stil there seemed to be nc effect. Peggy
turned reproachfully to General Swallow.
you're fooling me- There isn't any magic
about these leaves"
What do you want them to do to you?'
shriled General Swallow.
Il want them to make tiny I can
ride my arplane. And l want my airplane
to be fast that il can carry me to Europe

No sooner were the words out of her mouth
than things happened in hurry. She felt
herself shrink to the size of General Swallow.
