MODERN HEALTH CRUSADE
Cali for Knights in the Field of the
of Gold.

"Mornin' .Skinnay, didjer take yer
bath last night?
Sure'n I scrubbed my ears like
everything. Gosh they're some job,
they're so fancy"
"Lets see yer finger nails!"
''Look'em EN- over. They'll do
yer eyes good"
Gee, they're slick, but I bet yer
drank coffee for breakfast"
"Did not-drank whole glass of
milk
"Didjer open UP yer windows last
night 2"
"Sure, an slept ten hours too you
should just see my card cross after
every chore. Guess I'll be sporting
squire badge before long,"
Al modern miracle, you'll say? No,
this is just typical morning con-
servation in school where the mo-
dern Health Crusade is being carried
out. The tournment lasts for fiji
teen successive weeks carrying out
eleven practical health chores. The
tooth brush is the spear Of these mo-
dern crusaders, and cleanliness and
abundant sleep their mightlest
sword. Every school child in Wis
consin may be valiant forester in
the state tournament just as were
the early knights who tilted against
each other in the olden field of cloth
of gold.
It's no small task that confronts
the boy or girl who enlists in Mo
dern Health Crusade. Here are the
eleven chores for the daily obser-
vance of the Crusade.

meal today.

One little crusader, out in the state
who is overly conscientious is hav-
! ing her troubles.
brushing my teef is hardest for
me-" she exclaimed. "I've got
toff here and a toof there, and
nothing at all between to scrub"

being put on in the schools Of Bay
| field County and it is earnestly hoped
that parents encourage their chill
dren in the performance of these

ward increasing healthy happiness
