in HEALTH DRIVE
Sixty Thousand School Chill
dren Help With Crusade.
Porter Directing Work for r.. c.
and tuberculosis Assn.

The Kansas Modern Health crusade
has started off with an enrolment of
practically I'll ,072 children, says W.
l.. Porter, managing director of the
Kansas State tuberculosis association,
also manager of the crusade. The
children are not all signed up yet
but the material in the form of orders
and other blanks have been issued
upon the request of various school
authorities. Material is on hand for
the enrolment of 10000 more. These
orders will be sent out from Porter's
office this week. Then there will be
a total of 71.O72 children lined up.
In brief the health crusade is an
endeavor to get school children to
follow for a period of fifteen weeks,
a daily routine which comprises the
most important elementary health
rules. 1t is believed that a careful
adherence to the routine for a period
of fifteen weeks will go a long way
towards making the health effort an
actual part of the scheme of life.
Starting in the morning; get up smil-
ing, a glasssof water, teeth well brush
ed then a breakfast of fruit, cereals
and plenty of milk. eggs, bread and
butter, no coffee or tea with any
meals, eat slowly and walk to school.
Going and coming from school they
should take ten deep breaths slowly,
shoulders straight and head up. They
are not to sneeZe or spit. At recess
they are advised to play hard, but
not to put anything dirty in their
mouths. A dinner of meat, potatoes,
or rice with plenty of vegetables is
advised as is also thoro chewing.
The evening meal consists of milk,
fruit, fish or eggs instead of meat.
Fried foods are hard to digest. Then
early to bed, after brushing the teeth
and drinking a glass of water. Twelve
hours of sleep are advocated and at
least two hot baths a week. Sleep out
of doors is advised when it is posi-
BILE.
For carrying out the recommends
tons of the pledge it is possible to
earn a certificate, which is followed
by three additional badges for keep
ing out the routine for a longer time.
Topeka, Wichita and Kansas City
are not included in the campaign. To-
peka stayed out on its own choice.
w. L. Porter hopes to interest the
school authorities here soon in taking
up the endeavor.

ter, thru its chapter school commit

ures of a transitory nature which come

ferred to the economic council, which

DISOBEY The Law
Senator Jones Takes a Crack at
Big Public Men.
Urges Obeyance of Laws to Sup
press Radical Unrest.

Washington, Feb. 22.-Agitation
turnout the country of various plans
to ignore. evade or defeat national
prohibition was denounced in the sem
ate today by Senator Jones of Wash
ington, Republican, in an address urg-
ing observance of law and order as
a means of suppressing radical I'M
rest.
Prominent newspapers, public Off
Gals and public men, Senator Jones
asserted. are advocating defiance of
the prohibition law. He criticised
President Wilson for interfering in
the case of Thomas Mooney of Cali
fornia The senator, altho an advo-
cate of woman suffrage. also attacked
the president for alleged improper
conduct in addressing the senate in
behalf of the suffrage amendments
and declared officials of high position
were disregarding constitutional linn
terests were melting the laws de-
fiance.
Arc Defiers of Law
Referring to alleged attempts of
newspapers and public men to nullify
prohibition laws. the Washington SEN
ator declared:
"By their words and their acts they
are defiers of law; breeders of revolu-
ton, teachers of Bolshevism, un-
Americanism and unpatriotism. They
do not urge the laws enforcement.
They incite and encourage resistance
to it.
1--WE are told that this law and this
amendment are to be annulled in one
way or another; that the peoples YER
dict is to be nullified and set aside;
that great lawyers are going to prosti-
tute cir talents to defeat the peoples
will; that legislatures are going to dis
regard the sentiment of the people;
that labor proposes to strike; that
revolution is at hand"
Declaring that disregard by high
officials stimulates its disregard by the
masses, Senator Jones referred to the
Mooney case and added:
Brought Into Contempt.
''The president did not intend it bat
he brought our institutions into con-
tempt and struck a deadly blow at the
vitais of the republic when he used the
influence of his office to control the
executive of a state His unauthor-
lied act in sending a commission to in
yestigate the acts of state officials
gives anarchy its chance to mislead
the unthinking to lawlessness and con-
tempt for authority. He disregarded
one of the fundamental principles of
the republic when he interfered. By
his action he encouraged disrespect
and contempt for legal authority and
orderly process of law and under
mined local self government.
Grant that Mooney is innocent.
The excuse for interference only made
matters worse. 1t was a confession
to the bad in Bolshevism in foreign
country and aggravated matters there
and brought trouble here. 1t en-
couraged disregard for our laws, that
will take long time to eradicate"

peace was to be made. a just, durable
and permanent peace" said Justice
Cohalan, "'he placed no restrictions
upon the application of those doc
trines He said that self determination
was to be given to all peoples without
condition or qualification. If now that
doctrine is to be applied only to those
peoples who were oppressed by the
countries that were in arms against
America, then our struggles will have
been largely in vain, and no just or
permanent peace can come as the con-
sequence of this partial application of
the presidents doctrine of self deter
