A DAY WITH THE
SCHOOL NURSE
Fifth Of a Series of Article on How to
Keep Well
By a Red Cross Nurse

~ q kNCu SIOSS ENuTS6
The father who was afraid daily
brushing would wear out his chill
dren's teeth, the mother who taught
tooth brushes are new tangled extra
vagances, the boy who Believed 1t was
not worth while because "his tools
were all busted" and the little girl
who never manicured her fine nails,
but lust bit the dirty part on have
fallen victim to the County Nurse who
has them irrevocably pledged to good
health habits following her medical
inspections of the county schools.
The nurse not only examines the
children and makes recommendations
to the parents for remedial measures
to be carried out under the direction
OF the family physician, but she in
spects the school plant to see that 1t
is a healthful place for boys and girls
to spend five or six hours a day. Arm
ed with her charts, scales and meas
ures, she rides across country perhaps
twenty-five miles, starting in the early
gray so that she can note sanitary
conditions, drinking water containers,
facilities for washing hands, disposal
OF wraps and rubbers, hot lunch equip
ment, heating plant. ventilation, light
ing and general cleanliness and order
before the children arrive.
A little talk which makes the health
game appear a pleasure, disarms an
xious youngsters who associate nurses
as well as doctors and dentists, with
painful experiences. Rural school
children range from six to fifteen and
some of them cannot understand Eng
lish very well, 80 the nurse has to ex-
plain her mission simply.
She examines them in order Of their
age, measuring them, weighing them
and comparing the result with the
table which tells what the normal
child of given age and height should
weigh. Under weight, due to faulty
diet, is so prevalent that it runs as
high as IS per cen in some counties.
In such cases the nurse recommends
the substitution of cereals, toast and
cocoa for a breakfast Of pancakes and
coffee.
Adenoids, enlarged neck glands, de-
cayed teeth, threatened deafness, due
to some focus of infection, are com
nor defects which are easy to correct
IL taken in time. Rural school con-
tests, awarding banners to the schools
having the greatest percentage of cor
frected defects, will show the improve
ments made during the interval be-
tween the fall and spring medical in
spection.
Parents notices, which list the ply
steal record OF each child examined,
together with a circular on tonsils and
adenoidss and one on teeth, are left
with the teacher to be mailed to the
home. Because parents are vitality
concerned with the welfare Of their
children they value the scientific work
OF the county nurse who calls their
attention to conditions which are 9TH
erwise undetected, who supports the
school teacher in health education and
who u in the boys and girls
themselves the feeling that good
health is a game in which each one
can be a champion.

MAY USE TRUCKS
TO CARRY MAIL
Experimenting Now on Route
From Lima to Chicago.

transcontinental motor mail route
passing through Indiana may be estab-
Hshed by the United States government
The route. it is understood, would be
used primarily as a reserve in order
that important mail might be carried
should railroad transportation be broken
down.
The proposal is now in an exceed
1ngiy embryonic stage and, according to
Postmaster Robert E. Springsteen, no
aecision has been made as to whether
the scheme would be adopted.
It Is said that the proposal was made
originally by certain motor car COM
panies and that the government con-
scented to experiment with mail transpor-
tation By trucks.
For this purpose motor company en-
ployes were taken into the postal service
and experimental runs are now being
made.
In Indiana the experiments are being
conducted under the direction of the R
2. Law Motor Company of Indianapolis.
These cars are actually carrying mail
on route from Lima. O., through Hunt
ington and Valparaiso to Chicago.
Speed as well as endurance tests are
being made
~ eNAA4tOu-ACCl4cA4L was ulduc Uy the
postof1ce department that such tests were
under way and public attention was
called TO them when the chief of police
OF Huntington announced he would ar
rest drivers of the cars for speeding even
though they were carrying mail.
Data concerning roads, routes and 9TH
eP physical conditions, as well as endur-
snce and speed of automobile deliveries
compared with railway service, are being
furnished the government by inspectors

Sin of the clown family Of Ringing
Brothers. but he's just as. funny ana
has as many stunts.
The clowns had a bunch of fun with
a trick auto which had two steering
gears and two engines and was capable
of going forward at great rate OF
speed and then suddenly backing no
at the same rate.
"Sour" music was dispensed by the
soldiers clown band as the clown cop.
per rounded up a bunch of noisy clowns
molesting a peanut seller and threatened
to take all of his goods away from
him.
But when four giant elephants trotted
out into the big center ring, then my
childhood paradise was complete.
The elephants played musical instru-
ments, did the "Cootie Wiggle" to orien-
tai music, and I became so excited that
about half OF my peanuts fell out of
the sack.
"You certainly are extravagant with
your peanuts" observed Sipe as he
made arrangements to increase my sup
ply.
The best stunt the elephants staged
was a battle scene in which the ele-
plants were machine gun nests" ana
then turned out to be regular Red Cross
nurses.
Never have 1 seen better trained ele-
plants than these four monsters.
Sipe and I arrived too late to see the
lady riders" but we received the infor-
nation that the "1adies" wore ballet
skirts 'n'everything.
One Of the big minutes Of the circus
is when Lieut.. T. o. Dewey, on a splen-
did mount, leads into the circus tent
members OF Battery Of the Sixth field
artillery in an artillery saddle drill.
There was so much going on I couldn't
see everything and balance my several
sacks Of peanuts, but there were wire
walkers. trick army mules, an exhibition
by Battery c of the Sixth Field artillery
and many other things that the regular
circus does not attempt.
Sipe threw away all Of his dignity
when the chariot race began and yelled
more than I did. but some how or other
the last chariot always wins.
Rather feel sorry for the first chariot,
always do.
AS we left our circus seats and made
our way out Of the big tent into the
animal tent, l felt an impulse to feed the
elephants.
juvenile impulse forced me right up
TO big Betsy and. before I knew It, /
threatened not only to bankrupt myself
but also the clerk Of Marion county for
peanuts for Betsy.
And Betsy appreciated the feast be-
cause she trumpeted a loud Tanks
she intended to say thanks. but l took

We then Joined the big throng or the
midway and both decided we had the
best afternoon Of the present summer
season.
Sipe saw snakes" and l fed the ele-
phsnts and We both were happy.
If YOU wish to have the time Of your
life, visit the First Division circus on
the circus grounds on West Washington
street today or tomorrow.
Maybe Betsy will call you a tank"
