third on Brown Beauties exhibited
and also first on Peach Blows. Rio
Grande county received first on
some oats exhibited.
A large number OF exhibits OF
potatoes were rejected because they
were in the market class. The cat
alogue did not specify that the pota-
toes should be OF the seed variety.
Therefore most OF the exhibits sent
were eliminated. Next year, grow
ers In the county are planning to
take most OF the prizes at the show.

Guide, which contains an index to
all current magazine material. The
students are learning how much
easier it is to look for topic in
a magazine by using the Readers
Guide. This publication is issued
each month to index magazine
material for the previous month.
The Readers Guide for January
1922 is now in the library, con-
tanning an excellent classification
of the various current topics and
other subjects which the magazines
have dealt with during December
1921, and January 1922.
The 1919-1921 accumulation of
Readers Guides which covers all
magazine material for those years,
is soon to be in the library.
The students also realize that
Robert L. Stevenson and Rudyard
Kipling, both English writer's, can
not be found in who's Who in
America"
Books are returned more prompt
ly than before, consequently the
fine fund" is very low. They
are also returned in a much better
condition, which speaks well for
the student body.

THE ELIGHTER
STAFF

Editorial.
Last Friday night as well as
other nights of High School bas-
ket-ball games the number of small
children at the entrance without
money to go in, goes to show that
there is something wrong some
where. Some of them scantily
clothed and others so small that
they should be in bed by eight
o'clock.
The attendants at the game
have to fight their way through
the crowd of youngsters. The
parents are the ones who can
remedy this. The youngsters who
have no money to go to the game
should be kept at home or forbid
den to hang around the school.
Health in Our Schools.
Too great emphasis cannot be
placed upon the necessity for per-
feet health of school children.
Without rigorous and healthy pu-
pills, a school cannot attain it's high
est scholastic efficiency. An un-
healthy student retards the pro-
gress of the other members of his
class. A Health Department is
one of the greatest assets school
can have.
In addition to the school nurse,
the Board of Education has this
year added a school dentist to our
Health Department. The dentists
Office located at the Washington
PtH,1 &c tkA ae@
modern apparatus. Here each child
receives his phophylasis, filling of
permanent teeth, and extra etions.
About 20 patients are cared for
each day. Tooth brush drills and
health talks are included in this
work.
1t is the aim, thru the school
dentist, to preserve the teeth of
the children, to prevent mouth dis
sases-with prevention rather than
cure as the point in view, thereby
creating a higher scholastic health
standard. All the school children
in this vicinity, including the
schools at Winton, Savoy, and
White Iron, to the sixth grade,
numbering approximately 1900,
will come under this contention by
June.
Miss Schneider of the st. Louis
Co. Pub. Health Assn. was here
this week to visit the schools in
general. On Tuesday she addressed
the Normal Training Girls on
Health in General"
Most of the larger public schools
in the country have realized the
relationship existing between good |
health and good work, and have

ing, Miss Schneider stated, by
every girl. Be sure you have the
solid foundation of health before
you attempt to carry out your life
work.
The four corner stones of health
she gave as follows: first, sufficient
amount of sleep, second, good food,
third regularity in the other three
corner stones, and fourth, plenty
of fresh air. After she had -ex-
planned these facts a little further
she gave a formula for a good
complexion which is guaranteed by
many noted physicians-get one
box Of rouge at the Drug Store,
and a rabbits foot. Bury these
two miles from where you live
and walk out every day to see if
they are still there. If this is
carried out religiously the results
obtained will delight every seeker
of good complexion.
