Arthur's "Round Table"

The table which is now called "The
Round Table of King Arthur" Is to
to be seen in the Great hall at Win
chester, England, part of the old cas-
tie there. At the west end of this
hall, above the remains of the royal
dais, hangs this table. II feet In diam
eter 1t Is known TO have existed in
the Thirteenth century and is possi-
bly, older, and was repainted In the
reign Of Henry VIII. OF course there
Is no way of tracing any connection
of King Arthur and his knights with
this table. This table Is divided off
into places for the king and "a OF his
knights. According to one version of
the King Arthur legends, there were
l3 seats around the table, while ac-
cordlng to another there were 80
seats. and the total number OF knights
OF King Arthur was 140.

cent epidemic. They were fortunately
cble to answer every call for this
| particular service, and from the ia
yorable comments of the families
helped, they were made to feel this
service was appreciated.
/, The clinics conducted by the Public
Health League for INDECENT cases
were very well attended during the
past year, and free medical service
end medication were given. The gen.
eral and eye, ear, nose and throat
clinic is held each week on Friday,
from a to 5 p. The dental clinic

Another interesting piece of work
of the Public Health League is that
of the crippled children in Hamilton.
Through the courtesy of the Rotary
Club clinic is conducted each year
during the month of January. This
clinic proves very beneficial to the
community: (l by making it possi-

come and give expert advice as to
treatment; (2) through the publicity

it enables the nurse responsible for
the yearly examination of the Grip
pled children to have same cared for
regularly.
The recent crippled children's clinic
conducted for both the county and
city, was estimated as being success,
thirty-seven children having attended.
1t brought to our attention eleven
new cases, seven from the county and
four from the city. All these cases,
however, were not termed as good
cases, one proving definite feeble
minded case, and two spastic cases
for which little or nothing can be
done. However. the clinic gave these
parents an opportunity of having ex-
rert advice and recommendation
given.
Such is the work of this organiza-
tion which not only aids at time of
distress and emergency, but through
its public health instruction aims to
prevent disease and thereby produce
happier and healthier community.

During the recent influenza epi-

Upon visiting the different homes the
nurses very often found as many as
six or seven patients in one home.

All charts Of this kind can only be a generaliza-
ticn and must be used merely as a guide that shows
APPROXIMATELY how much each woman should
weigh, according to her height and age. 1t must
not, lder any circumstances. be considered an in
fallible law. because the different physical structure
OF each woman makes any such hard and fast rule
impossible to establish.
For example. the woman who has unusually small
bones will find that she actually appears and l.
overweight at the ~poundage given for her age and
height in the scale below. Therefore this woman
can safely subtract four or five pounds from the
weight given In the chart.
II quite naturally follows. then, that the woman
OF large bone structure will appear thin, perhaps
even gaunt, unless she weighs a few more pounds
than are allowed for her age and height.
