MODERN coNvENIENcES LACK
ING IN BRooKHAvEN.

1t developed at a recent meeting
in the interest of the community that
Brookhaven has no adequate conven-
fences for its visiting and travelling
public.
The I. G. private rooms at the de-
pot, altho not intended for promis-
cuous use, are being used by the
casual public to the annoyance, II
not the dismay, of those in charge
who are blamed for the conditions,
often unsanitary and repugnant, that
obtain thru the carelessness of users
and their utter disregard of common
decency in some Instances.
The~I. C. rooms are intended only
for railroad travellers, and since this
is fact, the community should pro-
vide for it's own convenience and that
of its many visitors in some way.
1t looks very much as though we
have strained at gnats and swallow
ed camels as far as a number of prac-
tical necessities and community de-
mands are concerned. The situation
fails to "paralyze" with progressive
and expensive enterprises. we have
fostered that are desirable; but not
to the neglect and utter disregard
of the common necessities of life that
have part in our higher civilization
and the welfare of all concerned.
The demand for modern conven-
fences in community housekeeping is
upon us.

HOW About Your child,s Teeth :

Miss Davis. County Child Welfare
nurse urges all the parents of Lin
coin County to take advantage of
the vacation period and have your
child's defects looked after. Do not
wait until schools begin next fall be-
fore you realize that your child has
psome physical defect that may han
dicap his or her in doing good
school work next fall We all know
what effect decayed, dirty, illkept
teeth have on our health in poison
ing the blood and producing rheuma-
tism, indigestion, heart trouble and
in many cases tuberculosis and gen
eral rundown condition of the entire
system. This can be prevented by
you taking your child to ANY dem
tist in Brookha7en and having your
child's teeth looked after now for
just 0NE-HALF of what it would
have cost you this time last year for
the Dentists realizing the necessity
of good teeth in regard to good health
and good school work want to help
the children of Lincoln county to
maintain better health and better
school work-and are now doing the
children's dental work for one half
price provided the child brings with
him a card either signed by DR..
Slaughter showing he has been exam
ined by the county unit or. card
signed by Miss Davis, the Child Well.
fare follow-up nurse. Miss Davis
can always be found in her office in
grand jury room in County Court
house every Saturday, and only too
glad to issue these cards to any child
in the county free of charge, and as
soon as the Kings Daughters Hos
pital opens Miss Davis will hold reg
ularly, weekly nose and throat elm
les where you can bring your child
and have its diseased tonsils and ad-
enoids removed by good surgeons for
almost one third of what 1t will cost
to carry your child to some hospital.
To secure this reduced price on re-
moval of adenoids and tonsils you
must get in touch with Miss Davis
anu lSSiSICI yOuA EutAu luIu 4SI Ol-
fee for the regular clinic day or else
the full price will be charged.
Do not neglect your children's eyes
during vacation period. Remember
sight is the most important of mans
senses and should receive the most
careful attention, especially thru the
period of childhood. Many people
ask the question why so many more
defects of eyes today than few years
agog' The answer is. because the
school term Is longer. more children
attend school. and there are more
books and papers to read. all of which |
is naturally conducive to eye strain.
Have your child's eyes examined we'll
before you start him back to school
and be sure there is no eye strain to
cause your child to- become 'ner-
vous. and fail to make good grades.
Miss Davis Is only too glad to help
any person in. the county where she
can when 1t concerns better health |
