Human Flowers or Weeds?
The task of preventing physical de-
fects in children is one of supreme
importance in the postwar era.
The physician. the nurse, the play
ground and gymnasium are the chief
agencies of the school thru which this
work must be accomplished. Praise
worthy as their efforts are, they must
be supplemented by hygienic living in
the home.
The great examination day brought
about by the selective service showed
far too great percentage of personal
neglect. The veil was lifted and there
in all its ugliness and sadness were
alarming shortcomings physically.
Its revelations made US painfully
aware of the misshapen bodies, the
flat chests. the diseased teeth and i'm

and the school room and work room,
too; and breathe as much fresh air
as possible. Then:
Eat good food.
Keep yourself clean.
Don't work or play till you drop.
Keep sensible hours
Live out of doors and avoid dust as
much as possible. Sleep with the win
dows open.
; If you have a cold that lasts more
than two weeks you should go to a
doctor and have your lungs examined

SCRIPTURE
Psalm e3;I-6.

Psalm e3;I-6.
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not
want.
He maketh me TO lie down in green
waters.
He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me
in the paths Of righteousness for bis
names sake
Yea, though I walk through the valley
of the shadow OF death. I will fear no evil:
for thou art with me; thy rod and thy
staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me la
the presence Of mine enemies; thou ano,ut-
est my mead with oil; my cup rune h
over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow
me all the days of my life; and will
dwell In the house of the Lord for ever.

MRS. W: h sTowELL, Garden City,
The American people have a well estab-
lished reputation for being spendthrifts
therefore If present economic conditions
enforce habits of thrift and economy We
will have learned u needed and valuable
lesson.
Men and women alike can leave off many
expensive habits with a positive gain to
their physical well being. Less time may
be given 70 expensive entertainments and
elaborate meals
People both young and old can go to
the movies" less and take fewer joy rides
walk in the open where they can watch
the shifting clouds and waving tree tops
is more heaIthfui and less expensive.
Instead OF the diamond engagement
ring a less expensive one with the differ
ence in the price invested in something for
the home the young people expect to
establish.
of the oft given advice to the housekeeper
regarding habits of economy. but when we
see even at the present time women pay
ing Il high price for a new hat when last
seasons hat is still perfectly good; buying
vegetables cut of season when better ones
or throwing away perfectly good food be-
cause she doesn't like left-overs. then Won
dering why the grocer and butcher bills
are so high. l would say to them, don t
let foolish pride keep you from wearing
last seasons garment when II is perfectly
good. Learn to make over clothes Don {
buy vegetables and fruits out of season.
Learn to utilize all leftover food for you
will find you can make with IL many pala-
table and wholesome dishes II you can I
cook without spelling food, by all means
learn to do So"
Following these suggestions may not
solve the high cost Of living. but 1t will re-
dUce the cost Of high living.

Man never dies. The soul habits the
body for a time. and leaves II again
The soul is myself; the body IL only
my dwelling place. Birth Is not birth :
there Is a soul already existent when
the body comes to IL. Death Is not
death; the soul merely departs ard the
body falls. II Is because men see only
their bodies that they love life and
hate death
