MAKE GOOD HEALTH A NEW
YEAR AIM

Let's make the new year notable
for good health .on: the. farm.
Let's ask the state board of health
for its bulletins and study them.
Let's make it rule to have doc
tor give each member Of the family a
physical examination once a year so
that any latent disease may be de-
tected and checked before it becomes
serious.
Let's have good dentist examine
the teeth of the family and do any
needed filling, cleaning, and pulling
(letting the dentist decide just what
is necessary, and then let's insist on
every member of the family using
the toothbrush daily and visiting. a
dentist at least once a year.
Now while farm work is less press
ing, it will also be well to build a
sleeping porch and screen the house
for summer, if these things are not
already provided.
And last, but by no means least,
any farmer should be ashamed to 90
through 1920 without sanitary PRIV
if waterworks and sewerage disposal
systems have not already been install

Instead of criticising, and knocking
and disrupting this social and COM
mercial necessity, let US exert our in
dividual efforts to it's advancement
and expansion.
The public school is one of our
greatest constructive agencies, and
without its aid and assistance in Great
ing and cultivating the intellect of
our young people this community
would soon be sinking to the ancient
plane of ignorance and superstition.
There is nothing to be gained by
jeopardizing. the work and influence
of our public school system, but there
is everything to gain by fostering and
encouraging and extending it a help
ing hand.
Education is vital necessity of
the day and its effects are felt in
every walk of life. Without it a
young man enters upon the serious
problems of life handicapped in a
thousand ways.
We of the community are person
ally interested in the welfare of the
community and there is no way in
which we can better serve our indi-
vidual and collective interests than
by standing loyalty behind our public
schools.
