Dear Children: Here is a big idea.
! We are going to have health con-
test. A. Of the cousins from 5 to

July 4.
Below you will find a good health
card. This you are to cut out and
paste on a piece of card board. You
will see just how it is worked.
Here is also your pledge to do
your part toward making yourself
tit to serve your country.
You must follow this pledge hon
estlv. you must check your card each
month and on December IS all cards
must be in my office.
These cards and pledges will be
carefully gone over by competent
judges and when they decide who
has made the greatest progress to-
wards health our paper will award
S. to the girl and S. to the boy.
You will not only make a stride
towards good health by entering
this contest, but you will have your
S. for Christmas.
Your parents I know will give you
&" the help you need. Lovingly.
AUNT JULIA.
