Especial CORRESPONDENCE


Keithsburg, Oct. 9.-Dr. c. c.
Ellis, state health superintendent
Of this district. assisted by DR..
Wallace of Aledo, and Drs. Allan.
Coe, Childs, Willitts and Steinhart
OF Keithsburg, have completed a
very successful three-day health
conference for school children un-
der the auspices of the Keithsburg
home bureau unit. During this
time 235 children we're given a
thorough examination. About five
hundred defects were found.
The most common trouble was
undernourishment, closely fol-
lowed by teeth needing attention.
1t was surprising the number OF
children found with fiat feet. Many
had bad tonsils and a number had
defective eyesight. There were a
few children with heart trouble
and some with lung trouble. In
case of suspected lung trouble DR.
Ellis recommended that the source
Of the milk supply be investigated
for tuberculosis of the cows.
1t is the plan of the home bureau
to follow up the work of the doc
tors. Already one family where all
the family were under-nourished
has been furnished free milk, and
it is hoped that others having a
surplus of milk will let it be known
that it may be used to help build UP
other under-weight children.
DIR. Ellis found only 1 per cent oil
the children had been vaccinated
Smallpox has been very prevalent
the past year, and there is every
reason to predict that it will be this
year. There is only one way tc
prevent an epidemic: all the chill.
dren should be vaccinated.

Several months ago Robert l..
watson, trustee Of the endowment
fund, asked for suggestions as to
how this fund should be distributed

matter. Some subscribers pait
