CLEANLINESS |S THE
 OBJECT IF MOVEMENT ABOUT ID BE STARTED|

Under the direction of the Arizona Anti-Tuberculosis Association, movement is on foot in all the Arizona schools which is called The Modern Health Crusaders. the Knights of the Round Table" The object of the movement among school children is personal cleanliness. The way the syS- tenn is applied, said T. c. Cuveillier yesterday, is by each of the young cru saders performing a certain number of chores, of which a record is kept by the teachers. Here are some of the things to be done:
 Washing hands before each meal: washing face and ears. neck and fin gernails; keeping fingers, pencils and everything likely to be unclean out of their mouths; brushing teeth after breakfast and supper; playing out doors, or with windows open; sleeping ten hours with windows open: drink ing four glasses of water, including drink before each neal drinking no tea or coffee, and eating food slowly; trying to sit up straight: to keep neat cheerful and clean minded and to be helpful to others.
 Record folders for every child from to 16 years of age is kept by the teachers, and 72 chores done in one week makes perfect record This re- quires each of the first ten chores to be done daily and a full bath taken on each of two days.
 Degrees are awarded to the boys and girls, from page to squire, to knight banneret and to full-fledged knight hood. Attaining this rank gives the crusader the right to write A. O. after his name, meaning advance order of knighthood. Tournaments or con- tests are to be fostered between the schools. Each degree carries a button | and pennants and other honors will be 1 awarded the schools having the most 1 honors. All this to make the children l healthy and to defeat the deadly seeds | of tuberculosis from planting them 1 selves in the boys and girls who will 1 be the parents of the coming race. said | MT.
