jor part in the pageants, parades
and general celebration
In a large number of communi-
ties, school children by thousands
in attractive costumes and carrying
banners bearing catchy health
phrases, will turn out to demon
strate the tremendous progress
that has been made in Illinois dur
ing the past few years in health
education in the schools.
The offices of health promotion
week at the state capital at Spring
field are already beginning to re-
ceiye results of the work done dur
ing the past few days. Figures on
the weighing and measuring of
school children pouring in from a
large number of cities. indicate that
the average Illinois child is from
three to five pounds below weight
as compared with the standard set
by the United States government.
The reports OF local registrars of
vital statistics of the large num-
bers of babies and children whose
births have been registered during
the last few days, confirms the as
sert.on of the state department of
public health that birth registra
ton has been seriously neglected
in years past. In several cOmmu-
mites where free physical examina-
ton of adults was offered by coun-
ty medical societies and local ply
sicians, the job proved to be so
large that it will be carried over
into the coming week. Scores of
little mothers clubs have been ere
ated among the girls of the eighth
grades in Illinois schools and it is
believed that the modern health
crusaders have acquired some
twenty-five to thirty thousand new
members on account of the activi-
ties of Health Promotion week.
DR.. c. st. Clair Drake, director
of the state department of public
health, and w. d. Thurber, execu-
tive secretary of the Illinois tuber-
culosis association, who has been
in charge of the health promotion
week campaign, expressed them
selves as more than pleased with
the manner in which the people of
Illinois had responded to the reso-
luton of the general assembly.
The general assembly has desig-
mated health promotion week to
be observed in the two years, 1919
and 1920" said DR.. Drake yester-
day, but l am satisfied that the
results OF the week will be such
that the next general assembly will
continue and perpetuate the Gus
tom"

DISPLAY SHOWS
RELICS OF WAR
Largest Collection on Display III
National Museum in Wash
ingtOn for Public Use.

The largest collection of relics o.
this war Is being assembled at the
National museum. Washington.
Major General II. l.. Rogers.
quartermaster general Of the army,
has loaned a large display Of tro-
plies picked up by American sol
diers on the ba tledelds of Chateau

A-gonne. The collection now on
display at the museum is to form
part OF the war museum.
The most striking exhibit is
420-mm. l6.55-inchJ German cart
ridge case. This IS the larges
fixed ammunition ever made These
shells were used in leveling the
Belgian forts that were thought To
be indestructible Other German
cartridge cases of all sizes, from
the little one-pounder up, are also
on display.
That the Germans were well
versed in defense against poison
gas. as well as in offensive gas
tactics, is shown by the displays OF
German gas masks. In addition -
masks for men the Germans had
effective masks for horses, and
gesproof cages for their carrier
pigeons.
Examples OF "frightfulness" are
furnished by the saw-edged bayo-
lets picked up by the Second divi-
sion in the Argonne forest They
we're used by German pioneer
troops.
A relic of medical interest is the
field amputation chair used by the
Germans. The chair is made OF
canvas, and is equipped with a
number of straps to hold the pa
tent securely. 1t shows unmis-
taxable signs of having been used
"a great number OF times. Trench
knives, breast armor pierced with
bullet holes. bed sacks made OF
paper, all kinds of German helmets
and iron crosses also are included
in the exhibition.

Innate Rectitude.

Some American millionaires have re-
Gently died and left the bulk of their
fortunes for public purposes. In every
case these men were poor men at the
start. Their long continued success in
gaining wealth did not destroy their
sterling qualities of honesty and good
ness. They have shown their inmost
thoughts and their possible misgivings
by making the people their heirs as
well as their families, bestowing most
upon the people, They were no law
breakers, they did not take one cent
that was not honestly theirs. If they
got more than other men it was be-
cause they were more energetic, more
brainy, and had good opportunities. 1t
was the making use of these opportuni-
ties that is the secret of their success.
They did not create monopolies. They
discovered them, our laws created
them. If you want to destroy mo-
nopolies, amend the laws.
