ferng from physical defects which
could be prevented or corrected. The
bureau of education's health contest
aims to reach these children.
Health, strength. JOY" is the motto
of the division. and it's methods are
all directed toward making health edu-
cation real fun. Health charts which
children fill in for themselves, showing
their weight and height and how much
each of them gains. are sent by the
division to all schools and teachers
which ask for them. Brightly colored
pamphlets for teachers and children,
and personal letters. give advice about
health problems. And best and latest
| of all. Cho-C Che, real circus clown, has
been employed to make amusing and
| helpful talks on what child should
eat, wear and do to be strong and we'll.
1t is fact that at least Is per cent
Of our children today are suffering
| from malnutrtiOn. resulting not SO
much from eating too little as from
eating and drinking the wrong kind Of
food. All sorts of methods have been
tried, with very little success, to REM
edy this condition. to induce the par
ents to provide and the children to eat
the foods that will nourish and give
them strength. Cho-Cho and pair of
scales. on which each child can be
weighed once a month, is Il cOmbina-
ton that will go very long way to-
ward bringing about the desired re-
suits.
The monthly weighing is a most i'm
portant factor in this work. Johnny
and Jenny. who have rigidly lived up
to the instructions given by ChO-ChO
for four long weeks. step onto the
scales with their eyes shining and their
hearts pounding With excitement. II
they have gained more than the de-
sired half a pound. their cup of JOY is
trimming over. and if. on the other
hand, they are not quite up to the
mark, their guilty conScienceS remind
them of the coffee which they have
drunk or of the baths which they neg
lected TO take. or the green vegetables
which they refused to eat, and they
realize that Cho-Cho was right-one
cannot do these things and still gain
his half Il pound Il month.
Cho-Cho is very busy these days. He
is booked solid for months to come in
various cities. But one clown cannot
do all the work of the country. and so
other Cho-ChOs are being trained. 1t Is
a nationwide campaign, which they
are waging to better the condition OF
, the boys and girls who are to consti-
tute the next generation of our citizens.

HICKORY NUTS ON GRAPEVINE
Missouri Farmer Produces Wonder Of
Vegetable Lite That Would A.
tonish Luther Burbank.

Kenneth. MO.-AccOrding to w. +.
Romine, recorder of deeds of Dunklin
county, Luther Burbank has been out
done on the farm Of F. NJ. Mcneil,
where wild grapevine. growing
around hickory tree, has produced
hickory nuts in the place OF grapes
for two consecutive seasons.
The vine was also seen by J. +.
Nations and A. w. Winters, who &C.
companied Recorder Romine on a
search for peaches. 1t is not claimed
that the hickory nuts grow in clusters
the same as grapes, but many people
in the neighborhood will testify to the
authenticity of the story, as it seems
to be one of the peculiarlties of nature
caused by the "crossing' of the vine
and tree.

Indian Gives Girl Saddle.

Tyndall, S. D.-What without doubt
is one of the finest and most valuable
saddles in the whole Northwest has
been presented to Miss Anna Kirk OF
this city by an old Indian friend. The
saddle is entirely covered with beads,
red, white and blue. fashioned in diff
ferent designs. The saddle shows
wear. and evidently had been in use
in the tribe for some years. The work
on it indicates that many months and
perhaps years, were required to make
the saddle and fashion the beadwOrk
designs upon it. Miss Kirk refused an
offer of $3.50 for the saddle, which
thought to be one Ut the finest exam
pies of Indian work in existence.
