pleasing results AZ does the miniature
school garden which Is q part of the
health shows exhibit Of work done In
the Indianapolis public schools.
Expressions Of admiration are heard
from amateur gardeners both old and
young, at the sight OF the neat beds Of
tiny turnips, slim onions and pale green
lettuce, guarded on either side by tall,
though youthful beans and artistic rows
Of peas, while in the diminutive cold
frames tender young tomato plants live
In snug seclusfon until danger Of frost
Is past. Even the old fashioned rose
bushes grow beside the trim picket fence,
and q tiny bird house invites feathered
assistants to help keep down the greedy
bugs and wormb.
Another Of tile school exhibits that
calls forth favorable comment from the
older visitors Is that which shows the
work of the grade school sewing classes.
Here are shown the carefully made lay
cites made by the Junior Red Cross for
overseas babies, practical school frocks
which the girls have made for themselves
mented with handwork.
Correct diet for the school child Is
shown in two contrasting types OF food,
the proper and improper. On the first
list are milk made foods, eggs, spinach
and other healthful vegetables; on the
second, big greasy doughnuts, coffee,

Just across from the school exhibit
the Nature Study Club has an interest

boy as well as the girls may be seen
stealthily stroking the flerce-lookins
owls or punching the pelican's big beak
to see II II is real.
Real, live models are featured in the
Indiana Dental Society's exhibit, where
the children drop in to watch and re-
main, with Spartan fortitude, to have
the white clad young dentists give their
teeth an examination and point out their
defects.
..PICKLED'' BRAINS
ATTRACT COMMENT.

look as queer as these?" inquired one
. youthful observer to another ut the sight

Army medical corps-everything from the
