Rumors of the recent activities OF

extend our congratulations and hes;
wishes to each one of the contract

A survey of the Cleveland Ohio
schools revealed that thirty per cent
of the girls were undernourished and

the girls health campaign in Cleve-

"Quit dieting to obtain that boyish
figure; "Refuse engagements that
will keep you out after eleven o.

Judging from the reports that come
to our office a number of pupils iii
both high and grade schools through

following the above slogans.
The number of children in our
