COUNTY NURSE GIVES
CAUSE OF OVERWEIGHT
Urges Cooperation of Parents With
Children in Reducing to Normal
Avoirdupois.

Cooperation by the mothers of child
rem who are overweight in reducing
their weight is urged by Miss Elizabeth
Hanson, r. NJ, county health nurse.
Miss Hanson says that many of the
older school children have been COM
ing to her Office for the purpose Of be-
Ing weighed and measured and that
the overweight students, especially the
overweight girls, appear to be consider
ably concerned over, the fact that they
are too fat, and most of them deter
mine, ut least at the time OF weighing,
to decrease the amount of food taken.
She considers this a good idea and
urges that 1t meet with the intelligent
cooperation of the mothers.
According to Miss Hanson, DR.. w. r.
P. Emerson, nutrition specialist OF Bos-
ton, says: The chief cause of obesity
is hahitual intake of more food than is
burned up. As rule, the fat child
desires foods of high Fcaloric value,
especially cream, butter and sweets.
He may, however, take less food daily
than is eaten by thinner child, and
vet put on weight. This is explained
in part by the greater activity of the
latter; but another important factor
appears in the results of the PHYSICAL
examinations. The underweights child
averages from four to twelve physical
defects, and the overweight child aver
ages less than three. It is impossible
in many obese children to find single
physical defect.
''The body is constantly trying to
eliminate the extra food taken. What
cannot be eliminated is stored as fat
The effect of this condition is ten:
dency to great or less degree 81
poisoning, which results in disinclin
alton to physical or mental exertion.
'',Fhe remedy for overweight is mea
sured feeding The child should ,-be
weighed, a careful record OF. saH food
taken should be kept for waek,swhe,
a second weighing will make it possible
to estimate how much fuel the body is
able to burn up in that time A re
duction Of about n third of the amour,
taken can then be made, leading to the
burning up Of some Of tile stored tissue
If the loss in weight each week does
not exceed one or two pounds, the child
will feel better all the time the reduc
tion is going on, and will show con
slant increase in efficiency"

VACCINATION URGED
by SCHOOL BOARD
Many Matters Come Up at Monday
Night Session Vaccination
Requested.

Easter vacation the week Of March
s21 for the grade pupils only, recon-
nominations that parents have grade
school children vaccinated for small
po1 and request that high school
pupils be yaccinated, a decision to CO.
operate with the county nurse in the
matter of the weighing Of school chill
dren, decision to pay the railroad
fares Of the two local high school de-
Sclamatory winners to the state contest,
and the election of teachers, were mat
ters that came before the Warren
school board at the regular monthly
meeting held at the school house last
Monday night.
The board decided on an Easter va
cation of one week, the week of March
II, for the grade pupils only, this year.
There will be no Easter vacation for
the high school students.
1t was recommended by the board,
that all grade school children be vac
cinated for smallpox. AS they have
not been exposed as the high school
students have, it was not decided to
make this in the form of request.
The high school pupils will be request
ed to be vaccinated or be obliged to
remain out Of school for a period of
Fl days from a set date, according to
the decision Of the board. This re-
quest comes as a result of the fact that
practically all Of the high school pupils
have been exposed to the disease.
Cooperation of the board with the
work of Miss Elizabeth Hanson, r. N,
county nurse, was decided upon and
the board will purchase scales to be
used at the school for the weighing Of
the children to determine their status.
The work will be taken up in system
attic way under direction of the county
health nurse, the children weighed and
cards indicating their overweight or
underweight, made out and put on re-
cord for future use as a matter of re-
cord of the pupils progress toward nor
malcy.
It was decided to pay the fare of
Grace Braggans and Chester-McArthur,
who will compete in the state declama-
tory contest in Minneapolis, March "a,

early preparation of the ground, by G.
p. Brown of Elk River in his talk He
tclaimed that with the picking of the
ears which were ripe while the stock
IBIS still green will shorten the time
necessary for maturity one week. An
other week will be taken off of the time
by proper testing Of the seed, according
to the Elk River man, and still an

early in order to warm it up and retain
the moisture.

length. He also maintained that the
smooth dent corn was the best for this
climate as It will mature earlier. The
best corn for seed is the corn that is

foreign corn to become acclimated. He

Warren Iron Works
Resumes Operations

Gradual resumption Of normal oper-
atoms has been under way at the War
rem Machine and Iron Works during
the past few weeks and there are now
twelve men employed Overhauling and
rebuilding tractors and building tractor
tanks. The normal working crew of
the plant is 16 or II men. The plant
practically closed down the first Of the
year because of the stringent financial
conditions prevailing here and in other
parts Of the country which had a direct
bearing on local conditions.
The gradual Improvement Of cOndi-
lions in the larger cities has warranted
resumption Of work by the local con-
Germ and it is expected that within the
next few months the normal force OF
men viii be at work in the iron works.
Maynard T.. Johnson, secretary Of the
local concern, looks to improved condi-
lions with the opening up Of the spring
work. a large amount Of repair work
is on hand and with the passing Of the
winter months it is expected there will
be much more coming in previous to
planting.
Nels johnson, manager, feels that the
concern will be able to give exceptional
service to customers during the coming
months as the removal Of the Office and
store room from the repair shop to the
recently erected new building, has
given considerable additional floor
space for the repair and rebuilding
work. In all there is now $4,000 square
feet Of floor space under root In the

June to December, inclusive. and al

TOTAL OF $4,000 FIGHT FANS MAY
SEE DEMPSEY CARPENTER
SCRAP; SEATS FOR LADIES.

New York, May 12.-Although the
opening Of the public sale of seats for
the Dempsey.Carpentier championship
contest in Jersey City. on July 2. will
not begin for several days, the advance
orders for reservations, assure a record
breaking attendance.
The gate receipts at the Johnson
Jeffries: Johnson-Willard; Willard
Moran and Dempsey-Willard bouts are
certain to be surpassed.
Official diagrams of the arena, dis
tributed today, indicated that the box
ing amphitheatre to be built by the pro-
moter. Tex Rickard. will seat so 900 or
more spectators. The present plans
which are subject to alteration, pro-
vide for 35 rows Of $50 seats and more
than 100 mezzanipe boxes, which it Is
understood will be occupied principally
by women. Back of these boxes are
to be erected four rooms of $40 seats,
and a similar number Of s35 rows.
These in turn are followed by 30 rows
OF $25 seats, three rows OF $50: 81 rows
OF SIS: 25 rows Of $40 and eleven rows
Of $3.50 seats.
AS the arena Is to be an octagonally
shaped structure with radius of more
than 200 feet, the number of seats in
each of these eight.sided rows may be
approximately estimated. In the fifty
dollar section alone, close to $4,000
leats already have been reserved.
Orders for these high-priced sections
are not confined To loca, patrons. san
Francisco and Los Angeles enthusiasts
have paid for 800 and $50 seats, re-
spectivcly.
Two blocks OF Chicago orders call for
n total OF $50 $50 seats and an order
for 80 similar priced coupons was re-
ceivcd from London last night, with
the information that additional seats
would probably be required as several
large parties OF English sportsmcn

HIS INTERVIEWS.
(By The Associated Press)

Halle, Germany, May 12.-The secu-
rity Police organization of Middle Ger
many, which has been the scene ol
widespread Bolshevik agitation and
frequent clashes between Communists
and government forces, has developed
a system Of espionage which enables
it TO record the daily activities Of vir-
tually every citizen md to trace MINI.
tely the movements of strangers.
The latter. withou. exception. are
treated as suspicious characters until
the authorities are convinced their
business is legitimate and their intcn-
tons honorable. Even with the most
genuine. official documents. the police
are not easily satisfied that stran-
ger, and particularly foreigner. is
not pondering deep plots and dark
decks against the government.
In the latest rioting here and in other
central German cities. when nearly T.,
900 Communists were arrested innocen,
circumstances often assumed a sinister
aspect in the minds Of the police. The
Associated Press correspondent, who
had been many times examined by
minor officials and frequently searched
was twice formally arrested and sub
jected to cross-examinatioI by the
superintendent of the district police
forces.

man when the correspondent was
taken before him. and from a card ht
read the record of the Americans

He was. however, in doubt about the
correspondents opinions regarding
Communism and wanted to know about
"A certain interview with leaders OF
Communists who We're fighting near

you made speech TO them and
appeared to have been fuvorably re-

purpose and what did YOU say"
Assured there had been no speech

fetal finally was convinced the visit
was only for the purpose of securing

He then dismissed the correspondent
who. however, next day was again ar
rested as he entered the local police
headquarters There followed another
examination which ended only when
the American threatened to report the

per government official In Berlin.
The attitude " the police. and their
