EXAMINE WEEKLY.
FINANCIAL REPORT SHOWS
$4,000 IN TREASURY.
NO INTEREST.

Local Red Gross matters were dis
cussed at the annual meeting of the
East Brown County chapter when
Rev. Baxter presented his report. The
report showed that considerable work
had been undertaken: locally to safe
guard the health Of children in the
public schools. Particularly, efforts
are being made to supervise the care
of the teeth by establishing a dental
clinic in the Emerson Building, where
various dentists Of the city will give,
without charge, certain amount Of
their time for the examination Of the
children's teeth. The dental chair
and instrume nts which belonged to the
late DR.. Fred Fritsche have been
donated to this work by his brother,
DR.. T.. a. Fritsche. The Red Cross
has also betrayed the expense Of
examination of the eyes Of a number
of children whose parents could not
afford to equip them with glasses to
remedy poor eyesight. Such work as.
this is being done all over the country
by one community organization or
another. .5Sasss,s as
DR.. O. j. Seifert plans to give a
series of lectures on First Aid methods.
DR.. Seifert had considerable experience
i in this line Of work during his service
overseas and his lectures will no doubt
be very interesting as, well as instruc-
tive,
