DR.. Hedger Talks
to Tri-City Folk
on Being Healthy

Healthy-mindedness, the only
sure foundation upon which to
build health and happiness for both
the adplescent and adult, was the
gospel preached by DR.. Caroline
Hedger of the Mccormick Memo
rial foundation, Chicago, in her two
addresses in Moline yesterday.
DIR. Hedger spoke under the ans
pices OF the Fifth District Nurses
association At O'Clock yesterday
she addressed parents and teach
ers at the Moline library. Her
subject was 1.-The Adolescent
Child. At o'clock there was a
dinner at the Chamber Of Com
merce. This was attended by MEM
bers of the county medical associa-
ton and many other interested per-
sons. At s o'clock she spoke to
an open meeting on Adult Health =.
I'VE must get hold of our adolf
escent boys and girls and make
fine men and women of them before
the juvenile courts get Them, she
said at the afternoon meeting, FOR
after that happens they never be-
come what they ought 1t is a
shameful thing that we will do so
much to punish wrongdoers after
they have offended society but wili
do little or nothing to prevent their
wrongdoing before it occurs"
DIR. Hedger made a plea for suf-
ficient rest and food for the grow
ing boy and girl She said that
the child should eat to permit him
as much growth as possible and
rest enough TO ward off the weari-
ness which overcomes the young
so often and which is SO seldom
recognized by adults.
THE effect of slow-burning fear,
worry, upon adult health is de-
structive in the extreme" DR.. Hedg-
er declared at the evening meeting.
THE mental strain" she contin-
ued, actually drags down the vi
tally of the worrier and renders
him or her incapable of proper
functioning. Nurses frequently get
into the habit of looking for symp-
toms, both in themselves and in
their patients. This, almost inev-
itably, results in their believing
that they have many of the diseases
which they analyZe. While it is
1Ob GIL dDoOluIS cure, uIlOdu1uS
ones chest is frequently a tremen-
dous relief in such a situation.
'An avocation, a hobby to ride,
is the best preventive against
worry. 1t is a good thing to get
away from ones profession occa-
sionally. 1 pity those doctors who
when they go on their vacations
have nothing to think about but
the cases they have left behind

and dancing as diversions OF the
evening. A delicious lunch was
served. Decorations were in the
honoree's favorite colors, shades OF
lavender and purple. She was the
recipient of many pretty gifts,
among them several punches of
violets.
