VERlHONTERS ARE
HEALTH CRUSADERS
That Is, They Have Joined the Move
ment to Give Attention to Personal
Habits So That Their Health
Will Be Better.

SADIE for the benefit of the children of
Vermont, will be directed jointly by
the Vermont state board of health and
the Vermont tuberculosis association.
The modern health crusade originated
with the National tuberculosis associ-
alton, its purpose being to interest chill
dren in learning the rules of health by
actually doing them. In order TO be-
come health crusader a child must do
rs per cent of the following chores for
two weeks BY continuing to keep the
chores the child earns higher ranks and
proper buttons and badges.
/. washed my hands before each meal
to-day.
2. / washed not only my face but my
ears and neck and | cleaned my finger
nails to-day.
3. tried to-day to keep fingers, pen
ellis and everything that might be un-
clean out of my mouth and nose.
4. drank glass of water before
each meal and before going to bed, and
drank no tea, coffee nor other injurious
drinks to-day.
5. brushed my teeth thoroughly in
the morning and in the evening to-day.
6. | took ten or more slow deep
breaths of fresh air to-day
7. / played outdoors or with window
open more than 30 minutes to-day.

night and kept my window open.

cheerful constantly and to be helpful to

the week that is checked (X).
In Vermont the health crusade was
started by the Vermont tuberculosis as
ISOLATION and proved increasingly popu-
lar with the children, teachers, and par
ents. Many teachers have stated that
since the children of their school became
crusaders there has been marked de-
crease in the number of absences on ac-
count of sickness. Parents have written
how the health crusade induced their
children to insist on brushing their teeth
washing, etc, when before they became
crusaders these tasks were only done
by constantly keeping at them.
Last year nearly $4,000 Vermont chill
dren became modern health crusaders
The Vermont tuberculosis association
spent over $500 in purchasing buttons
and badges for the children who earned
the different ranks. The association also

The Vermont state board of health
has been interested in this movement
from the start. The board is convinced
that the crusade will be great power
in lettering the health Of the citizens OF
the state and, therefore, decided to take
part jointly with the Vermont Tubefcu-
losis association in an effort to make
practically every child in Vermont a
modern shealth crusader.

starved nurves. Our bodies need more phos-
phate than is contained in modern foods.
Physicians claim there is nothing that will
supply this deficiency so well as the organic
phosphate known among druggists as bitro-
phosphate, which is inexpensive and is sold by
L. A. Drown & Co. in Barre and most all
druggists under a guarantee of satisfaction
or money back. By feeding the nerves d.
recty and by supplying the body cells with
the necessary phosphoric food elements, bitro-
phosphate should produce welcome trans
formation in the appearance; the increase in
weight frequently being astonishing.
Increase in weight also carries with It a
general improvement in the health Nervous
ness, sleeplessness and lack of energy, which
nearly always accompany excessive thinness,
should soon disappear, dull eyes ought TO
brighten, and pale cheeks glow with the bloom
of perfect health. Miss Georgia Hamilton,
who was once thin and frail, reporting her
own experience, writes "Bitro-P Phosphate has
brought about a magic transformation with
me. / gained is pounds and never before
felt SO we'll"
CAUTION Although bitro-phosphate is
unsurpassed for relieving nervousness sleep
lessness and general weakness, it should not,
owing to its tendency to increase weight be
used by anyone who does not desire to put
on flesh.
