Teaching Health
A La Jolly Jester

| AS he sat quietly in the office OF
| the Maine Public Health Associa-
ton Friday forenoon dressed in
citizens clothes and reading a ma ga
zine. j. Wallace MacKay would
/ never have been recognized by the
/ many children who have enjoyed his
! antics as the beloved Jolly Jester.
For five years Mr. MacKay has been
! carrying on the work of teaching
/ health rules to children. inSconnec-
ton with the American Child Health
! Association of which Herbert Hoover
is president.
/ At present the Jolly Jester is on
a tour Of Maine. from. Kittery to
| Fort Kent, appearing in ten coun-
| ties of the State and estimates are
| that $4,000 Maine children will have
attended his entertainments at the
! end of the tour. He is here under
the auspices of the Maine Public
Health Association.
Now that expression teaching"
health rules to children. Yes, that is
lust what he does, but the children
do not know it. Every morning
Mother has to tell Johnny to wash
his teeth. Every night she has to
plead to get him to bed early. But
after he has been to see Jolly Jes-
ter in his white clown suit, come
riding in and down the aisle on his
old horse, Dobbin, hears him scold
the monkey because he did not wash
his teeth, and is impressed in de-
ightful way by jolly Jester that
early to bed means health for the
talking doll, Harry, Mother has no
more trouble with Johnny on that
score.
Instead of lecturing to the Riddles
on health, which name means moth
ing in their young lives, the jolly
Jester takes the every day rules of
sleep, diet, exercise and fresh air
and makes n game of them acts
them out and gets the ideas across
to the young hopefuls without their
knowing it.
Ncntriloqusm plays an important
part in the jolly testers perform
ances BY means of it he makes the
doll talk, or he plays his funny little
violin, or plays the saxophone on the
buttons of his costume.
Mr.. MacKay, whose home is in
New York City, is wei qualified to do
this work, as he has been in the en-
tertainment field all his life. During
the World War he was in France
and furnished entertainment for the
boys in the camps.

ClJLLING

James Dryden, professor Of Poultry
Husbandry, Oregon Agricultural College,
staes in Bulletin 800:
Heavy egg laying is correlated with GER
tain visible or physical characteristics of the
hen This has been demonstrated by studies
of trap-nest records of individual hens. A
knowledge of these characteristics makes it
possible at certain seasons of the year, to Gull
the poor layers of the flock with fair de-
gree of accuracy.
Judging and culling by physical character
istics is not as accurate as the trap-nest, but
it is possible to pick out a large proportion
Of the Improbable hens in the flock by this
method.
"Trap-nest records prove that the poor
layer discontinues laying early in the season.
The hen that stops laying and mouths in July
and August is, on the average, a poor layer.
She will not lay as many eggs in the fol-
lowing year as the hen that continues lay
ing throughout the summer and early fall
Neither has she laid as many eggs in the
months preceding. The hens that have stop
ped laying in July and August should, there
fore, be culled. Hens that have made poor
record in the first year will, generally speak
ing, make poor records the second and SUBJ
sequen years.
