80 PER CENT OF SALES
~. GO FOR HEALTH WORK
VIII Provide More Equipment
.,a for Carrying ON of
Planned Hygiene
Program

The sale of Christmas seals in Me.
dina county will be conducted by the
county schools assisted by the ex-
empted village districts of Medina and
Wadsworth. County Supt. Ulery
will have general direction Of
the movement. Eighty per cent Of
the sales are to be kept by the Schools
for health work. Eighty cents outof
every dolalr's worth Of seals sold Will
be kept by the schools selling the
seals. 1t was largely through the
sale of Christmas seals last year that
Medina county was able to purchase
equipment for putting ON the progrn
of teaching hygiene that has been
adopted by the state. 1t is hoped
that more equipment. may be purchas-
ed this year. ~ .r.
The sale of Christmas seals by the
schools of Ohio is endorsed by Ver-
non M. Riegel, Director of Education,
and DR.. H. H. Sniyeiy, Director of
Health. Mr.. Riegei says:
"Christfas seals will emphazise edit
cation in Health during Education
Week in Ohio, December 4 to 10.
Every teacher and almost every pupil
in the schools of Ohioi is familiar with
the little Christmas seals sold each
year. They are also familiar in gem
eral way with the purpose of these
seals. They know that they furnish
the sinews of war in the campaign
against tuberculosis.
The State Department of Education
of Ohio is publishing course of
study prepared in cooperation with
the Public Health Association which
should be ready by the first of the
new year. It is the purpose to con-
tinue this cooperation between the
voluntary health forces of the state as
we'll as the State Department OF
Health and local health commissioners
with the schools to the end that every
boy and girl in the Ohio public schools
will acquire health-giving habits by
becoming health crusaders and putting
into practice certain rules of hygiene
and health which hygiene only teach.
In Ohio, Health has been placed as
the first objective in the schools. A
healthy start in life is certainly the
very best thing that the children can
have and it is recognized as the very
best means of preventing tuberculosis.
Since education is an integral part
OF the Christmas seal sale, Ohio
schools may very properly take part
IL this l4th annual seal sale to fight
tuberculosis, and may Justly take pride
i'll the part they have played in the
Christmas seal sales of former years.

Of diamonds.
Doubtless we can expect many va

Blue" while amethysts will be in
great demand when the various
shades of Mrs. Harding's beloved pur-
pie are chosen. Turquoise, too, will
figure prominently, as the new First
Lady finds the light toned green-blue
shades very becoming. For evening
wear, the collarette will doubtless
take the form of five rows of pearls,
barred at intervals with diamond
slides.
That her tastes are Simple" and
"all-American" is now we'll known.
So we do not find Mrs. Harding wear
ing great quantity of jewels. Her
favorite pieces, while handsome and
costly, are chosen rather for their
utility value, such as the dainty bar
pin which fastens her white collar, or
for the sake of carrying out some
color fancy, a gem matching her
gown or harmonizing with some de-
tail of the trimming.
Mrs. Harding is fond of finger
rings and brooches, and wears a
watch on her small, delicate wrist.
AS she is slender, not very tall and
affects the straight, graceful type of
gown, her neck-chains are Of medium
length, and her hair is perfectly
dressed for one of the new pendant
Golf pins which are going to be so
good this season.
