This is the time of year when diphtheria is most

as smallpox, steps should be taken to make every
After January /, the State of Michigan will furnish
the Shick test, which determines whether or not
toxin, which makes person immune to diphtheria.
When these are given us by the State of Mchi-
gan, surely parents ought to that their children
are made immune. Heretofore, Michigan has had
the highest death rate from dphtheria in compari
son with other states in the union. School boards
should take steps to have their local doctors ad-
minister this in the schools, and cut down our
high death rate, in Michigan. An epidemic of
preventable disease such as this, is reflection
upon the intelligence of community. Is it not
less expensive for townships to make arrange
ments to have this given in the schools to those who
wish it. than to close schools when an epidemic at;
tacks the community and pay grocery, doctor and
other bills while many poor people are in quaran-
tine.
Swartz Creek and Goodrich consolidated schools
have both had the Shick test given to their school
children who desire it, and steps are now being
taken to administer toxin antitoxin +. to those who
fall in line in Genesee County?
The Health Crusade work is progressing in
county Four schools in Thetford township located
on the four corners of two mile square, have be-
gun contest in Health Crusade work. A joint
meeting first called of the parents in the four
districts the work was explained and plans for
contest discussed. Later each teacher called
meeting of the parents of her district and final
preparations made. A contest is to be carried
on for ten weeks and at the end of that period,
the school which has produced the highest percent
age of Knights, is to be entertained at chicken
pie supper given by the other three schools.
The following are the health chores which the
children pledge to do
1. Brush teeth daily.
2. Wash hands before each meal
3. Wash neck and ears, and keep unclean things
out of mouth and nose.
A. Drink six glasses of water daily.
5. Drink milk, but tea coffee.
6. Eat vegetables and fruit.
Z. Battle at least week.
8. Sleep ten hours with windows open
8. Play in the open at least thirty minutes daily,
Protect others if you cough, sneeze or spit.
In doing these daily, your child is establishing
health habits for life. The teacher needs the par,
ents cooperation in doing this.

THOU GIFTS FOR CHRISTMAS SHOPPERS

AS citi3 sens of this community our interests are
largely id entca although, unfortunately, do not
always rel cognize the fact If we did, if always
pulled tog sether there would scarcely be limit to
our acco mplshment and growth as a community.
But some how other there those who succeed
too often in persuading that the "greenest fields
are far d way" and result support that should
be given to home institutions is sent away to assist
in the uH building of some other community. The
amount d,f money sent to outside institutions that
might jus st as well be spent at home is something
comparat vely enormous, And just think what
splendid stocks the local business could and
would keI ep if they could have all of that trade.
What eco Monies in overhead would be possible and
what s4fving in prices could be given the buyers
How the Z home town would grow and increase in
reputatio9I trading center and how it would
improve {hs local market, the handiest and best
market i1 the world! All this is entirely possible.
1t only RI squires spirit of cooperation and under
standing 4to accomplish it. If people would inquire
they woklld find, often than not, that the
local mefrchant in making lower prices and selling
better gdr)ods than his outside competitor. Or, if
prices ankd qualities should be equal then 1T is en-
trey loG sical to give the home dealer the prefer
ence. MI oreover, if there should seem to be dis
crepancyt between the prices offered at home and
abroad, fi-ankly take the matter up with the home
merchant and very likely it can be adjusted to your
entire sat isfaction We know from experience that
on the g reat majority of staple articles our own
home met rchants are making rather more advanIag-
eous pricI es than are available out of town. The
ChristmaA, season is at hand and for the next two
weeks large sum will be spent by people of this
community for gifts. In the common interest we
