CLEANLINESS is IMPORTANT
Provision Should Be Made at School
for Washing Hands of Those
Handling Food.

Cleanliness is as important in those
who eat as in those who prepare the
food, and whenever lunches are served
in the school, provision should be made
for washing the hands before the meal,
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture reminds us. No child who
shows signs of cold should prepare
or serve food for others, and the
dishes he uses should be kept separate
from the rest.

HOW MUCH DOES
YOUR CHILD WEIGH?

Surveys in schools in different parts
Of the country show thst fully 20 per
cent Of the children attending schools
are suffering from malnutrition, that
is, they are 50 much underweight that
their condition should be considered
as serious. Much Of the poor work
done in school is due to purely ply
sical causes. Since the weight Of the
child and his rate Of gain are the
best indices to his general health. it
is important TO interest the child's
parents in his weight.
Below you viii find the results of
weighing and measuring the children
of the first grade of the Gunnison
grade schools on October tenth
1928. The last column shows what
your child should weigh for his age
and height. The children were weighed

LET'S KEEP THE
PRICE OF EGGS UP

Two cents on each dozen of
eggs means about $1500.0O per
month to our community.
While there has been some
talk of lower prices for Kenne-
wick, a trip this week to Spo-
kane convinces us that at pres
ent it is not necessary.
YOU can help keep up the
prices by bringing in your eggs
every day. Keep up the quail

to keep up the price.

In the same mail the editor re-

an anxious mother about her ba-

hard time teething.
The editors stenographer
mixed the replies with the re-
suit that the farmer received the
following: WRAP flannel cloths

gums with castor oil and mas
sage their stomachs twice a
day."
The anxious mother received
this startling advice: Cover
