But, since human nature Is human
nature, every day isn't observed as
Mothers Day. There Is all the more
reason, therefore, for observing the
second Sunday In May-May IA, this
year-with real celebration. Some
one has tried to figure out a real cele-
bration after this fashion for sons:
Wear flower In mothers honor
a white one If mother is dead; col
ored flower for living mother.
Send mother a box of spring flowers.
Write her a letter-a long one.
Give mother whole day of your
time for that good visit" she longs
for.
Send mother your picture, and snap
shots of your home, your children,
your work.
Tell mother your plans and ambi-
tions-she made them possible.
Tell mother your smaller troubles
she wants to help you.
Thank mother for her care and her
teachings-tell her how they have
helped you.
Don't forget that mother still likes
candy.
Mother was your first and truest
sweetheart-don't forget to say 81
love you'll"
For the daughters these things are
suggested:
It's your chance to say thank you"
to your best friend-your mother.
Be sure to celebrate by wearing a
flower for mother: White for mothers
not living; colored flowers for mother
still with you.
Send mother some gay spring flow
ers, brilliant bouquet or thrifty
plant.
Make n dainty cap or "dress-up"
gown or shirtwalst as a love gift to
mother.
If mother is far away, send her a
Especial delivery letter" for her Sun
day treat
Send mother the book you Just en-
Joyed reading.
Don't forget to send her pictures of
yourself, your friends and your good
times.

Looked Bad for Client

Attorneys, in making an appeal to
, turv I'm behalf of client, frequently
make assertions which give rise to
laughter. There is hardly jury trial
that does not offer some such mirth.
Recently In one of the Indianapolis
Ernarior courts the introduction Of
evidence had been completed ana one
of the attorneys In the case arose to

fected by the order officials said, but
about six hundred would be used as
counters and all others having annual
leave to their credit will be given
the benefit of it.
Secretary Mellon in a formal state
ment said: 1.-The statements to the
effect that vast volume of duplicate
bonds and other securities have been
fraudulently issued ano are in circula-
tion are wholly without foundation.
There has been no evidence developed
of any such situation either IN the
bureau of engraving and printing or
elsewhere in the treasury department"
Following President Harding's
declaration that the administration is
conducting no drive on the civil service
but is driving for greater government
efficiency through the civil service, it
was learned that some influential ad-
ministration leaders plan to take many
of the higher paid positions out of the
ironclad Jurisdiction of civil service
regulations.
All positions paying $4,000 or $4,000
or over, positions of an administrative
nature, would be placed in one group.
Employees below the higher figures
would be in the same position they
occupy today.

Jewels to Rebecca as a seal to the
marriage compact. A trace of the Gus
tom may be found among the early
Eskimos. where the bridegroom must
supply his bride with all the clothes
necessary for the honeymoon" In
Rumanla, clothes and shoes are very
important part of the gifts to the
bride. Largely from the customs prac-
ticed In this latter country, but also
from Italy, Sweden, and Greece. the
idea of the marriage trousseau sprang.

Mr.. Melons order applied only to

Fighting Pink Eye.

Acute conjunctivitis, commonly called
''pink-eye,r has cropped out in almost
all of our county schools. This is a
very infectious Inflammation of the eye,
and any child suffering from it should
be excluded from school until he recov-
crs. Boric solution used as Il wash and
extreme care in washing the hands will
help to prevent infection. At the first
sign OF inflammation 10 per cent solll-
ton of argyrol should be used. This
can be secured from Il physician or
a drug store This will check the in
flammation quickly. Cold congresses
to the eye will also help to allay the
trouble. Greatest care must be taken
in family where one child has the III
lection to prevent the other members
from getting it, The Inflammation may
prove to be serious if it is not checked
and the sight may be affected.

Home Inspection.

In the last Lest We Forget column.
I'm article was given on home inSpec-
ton for adenOids. This week we shall
consider the problem of the child who
does not measure up to standard
weight. One editor wrote to the county
nurse:
although you report that - per cent
of the children in our school are more
than Z per cent mderweight, l have
rot heard of any plans for the correc-
tion of this condition" He then offer
ed his services through his paper, to
urge the Importance of considering the
health of the child first, and to make
people realize that an underweight
child is not getting an equal chance.
Your child may not complain, but ii
he is 10 per cent below average he Is
not fit for the strain and exposure OF
school life.
II is far more essentials, mothers
and fathers, to know your chlld $
weight and his progress in gaining than

progress. A child should gain normal

vary to a pound as the child grows
older. If your child does not gain,
he is not in good health. Is the cause

Is his diet at fault! Are his habits
of living keeping him from making
progress? If you can't find out go to

Health Work.

Miss Drake, state supervisor of pub
lie health nursing, gave Il splendid talk
before sixty members Of the public
health council on the subject Of IL per-
manent health program. She made her
hearers realize the vast scope of the
work and that il would be the work of
years to build up comprehensive pro-
gram. Some of the health work which
seems most feasible for the present
might include:
1. health talk: 2. health plays:
3, pageants: 1, movies: ). hot school
lunches: 6. modern health crusade in
the schools: I. put on Il health edllca-
ton campaign: s, offer prizes for
health essays and posters; 8, conduct
dental and other clinics: 10, carry on
nutrition work in the schools; II.
secure health literature for school IL
braries; II, inaugurate a campaign for
q full time. countrywide health depart
ment. including :; doctor. nurse social
service worker and laboratory.
The local needs of health work may
vary considerably but there is no com-
munity in the county that does not
have some health problems to be solved.
Besides being personal problems they
are questions of social responsibility.
and the social sense" of community
is often in need of being stirred.

allowed to exhaust himself in strenuous
work and play. 1t is Il parents duty
to aid in curing underweight and NAL
nutrition, and it is a cOmmunity's
responsibility to see that every child
has an equal chance. Are we going to
take the fact calmly that every fourth
child in our county comes in the under
weight class? 1t is no easy task to
correct this condition, but it can be cor

Randall consolidated schools are
surely taking lead in health work
for their children. Weekly shower
baths for all the children who wish
to take them has been their latest
successful innovation. This year the
health crusade was put on in the
grades. 1t was found that some of the
children complied with all the chOre
requirements except the weekly bath
required. The school has splendid
gymnasium, equipped with showers, so
instead Of limiting the use of the show
ers to the comparatively few basket
ball players each room has shower
bath day. Miss Mullins, who has SO
successfully carried out the crusade
this year said, THAT shower has solv-
ed our problem. There are ten from

Tuesday. OF the children who started
the health crusade in my room, five
had perfect records for fifteen weeks.
