"The success of this great WORK,
said Doctor Prentice, has been made
possible by the splendid cooperation
of the doctors and county and schoo'
nurses In the various communities

During recent years the genera
health and physical condition OF our
city children have been greatly I'M
proved by the work Of infant welfare
stations, chlldren's clinics, school clin-

Likewise the maternity clinics have
done much for mother and babe. And
now we have the same opportunities

through the work of the division or
maternity and infant hygiene of the
University Of Iowa which is carrying
out the provisions Of the Sheppard

Iowa City, Ia.-An average Of one

Prentice and DR.. Florence w. Johns
ton. University Of Iowa physicians In
the division Of maternity and infanr
hygiene, who have been conducting
free, clinical examinations In various
parts of the state. Their work. how
ever, has been aimed at the observa-
zion and suggested treatment of the
physically subnormal rather than the
normal child.
Over 80 per cent of the defects
found were declared TO be totally or
partially correctable. The percentage
Of possible corrections decreases with
the increasing age of the child.
Out of 856 children examined $50
defects were found. The defects null
tiply with the age of the child. 1t has
been Doctor Prentice's observation
that rural children have as many ply
steal defects as do city children.
MaInutritIon is found as often among
farm children as among city children
Several reasons were ascribed to this /;
among them lack of variety In diet
and defective teeth. The most fire.
quent defects among rural children
were found to be malnutritiOn- de-
cayed teeth. enlarged adenOids and en-
larred diseased tonsils.
Need Variety In Food.
children need variety Of food
elements as do livestock" said Doctor
Prentice, referring to the well-balanced
diet for farm animals that experts
have prepared. 1.-The rural children
seem to get food in sufficient quantity
but not the variety or balanced diet
that enables all tissues of the body
to develop properly. In other words,
they live On 'one-sided' diet. Chill
dren with bad teeth fail to masticate
and digest their food well and they
absorb and swallow harmful poisons
that come from the decayed teeth"

Hoards Increase in Value

Thousands of central and eastern
European peasants, following q time
honored custom, buried their silver
coins against rainy day. These sill
yer coins, writes Joseph Szebenyel in
the Atlantic, naturally retained their
formal value. But the boarding was
done on such an extensive scale that.
as early as 1918, all silver coins had
disappeared from circulation in Ger
many, Austria Hungary, Jugo- Slavia
Roumania and Poland.
Today peasant who buried 100
5-kronen pieces is a millionaire; he
can exchange the 500 kronen in silver
for 100000 kronen in paper money.
In Austria Hungary alone there
had been in circulation something
like 200,000.000 kronen worth of sill
yer money before the war. It would
take Austria the enormous sum of
100000, 100000 kronen to buy up her
half of this boarded silver currency.
The fact of being q millionaire in
those countries does not mean any
thing. Such a million is million in
figures. but not in value: and when
such million is converted into a
sound currency, the shrinkage is
fabulous. But the purchasing power
of the deprecated currencies of CEN
trail Europe has not gone down quite
in proportion with the decrease of
their exchange value. One million
Austrian kronen, which were worth
before the war almost 100000, are
worth today not quite $40: but their
purchasing power in Austria is con-
siderabiy more than that.

Marriage to Mohammedars Risky to
British Girla

An English girl who went to a
London register office and obtained
license to marry a Mohammedan
returned few days later and beg
ged for the help and advice Of the
registrar.
"Your marriage will be quite valid
throughout the British empire" said
the registrar. "and while you are
domiciled IN this country your hus-
band will have to practice mono
gamy, but as soon as you return
with him to his own country he is
at liberty to marry several more wo-
men Of his own religion in spite of
the English marriage laws.
ut is doubtful, should he choose to
bring you and his ploygamous wives
to this country, if he could be prose-
cuted for bigmay. Moreover, Mo-
hammedan may by Mohammedan
law divorce his wife at will without
any legal authority; all that he has
to do is to repudiate her and dis
charge the mahr, or marriage, set
Element. He can divorce you by these
means in his own country, but if
you return later to your native land
and wish to marry again you will
find that, according to English law,
you are still married woman"
The girl left the office full OF
gratitude and assured the registrar
that the license would not be needed.
