Bywaters had been n close friend OF

and he pleaded that in attacking the
husband he did not intend to kill, but
to chastise him. He declared he was

 Two outstanding defects to be noted are defective vision and de- fectiye teeth" said Miss Falldine.
 'sTho effect on the general system of poor vision and poor teeth cannot be too strongly emphahized and the greatest care should be given them and any defect corrected as soon as possible. Great care should be given to the lighting system both in the school and in the home, especially in this country where so much artificial lighting is used. The indirect light. ing Is best for the eyes.
 "As for the teeth, we are learning more and more of the relative value of good teeth. One of the first les sons every child should learn is the use of the toothbrush.
 "No matter what the defect is, it hampers the child fin his school work
 Give your child the benefit of the doubt and if he las some defect take him to your dentist or physician and let him decide what is needed to correct that defect.
 Health is the greatest asset any child can have"
