culties confronting her which may
be summed up in the phrase: How
to buy little enough food to avoid
waste.
But several agencies have COM
bined to help her. Gamers put out
fruits and vegetables in eight-ounce
cans which hold cup and cost ten
cents. Evaporated milk solves her
milk problem, for it obviates the
nuisance ol attending to mix Oottles

storing milk. Evaporated milk will

is not all used at once, and the IN

RESULTS OF THE SUMMER
ROUNDUP

Beginning in the early spring and
continuing during the summer, spe-
cial child health conferences for the
examination of children from five to
seven who were getting ready for
admission to school, were held
throughout the counties under the
joint auspices of the Bureau of
Child Hygiene of the State Depart
ment of Health, the Deputy State
Health Officers, the State Depart
ment of Education and the Parent
Teacher Associations. In announce
ing the results of these conferences,
DR.. Riley, Director of the State De
partment of Health, said that the
names of many of the children were
obtained through the superintend-
ents and teachers of schools and tina
through the courtesy of the Depart.
ment of Education, many of the
conferences were held in the school,
buildings.
Special attention was given by
the examining physicians to weight
posture, the heart, lungs, nose,
throat, teeth, vision, and hearing,
because of their important bearing
upon the general health of the chill
dren and their freedom from, or
susceptibility to disease. Conditions
that needed to be corrected were
pointed out and the parents were
| urged to take their children to the
FAMILY doctor or dentist for the
necessary care. Every county was
visited in connection with the con-
ferences and was represented in the
total number of children examined

lCARELEssNEss, THE GREAT
DESTROYER

Today, if this is an average "a
hours, several score people will be
killed and thousand injured in auto
mobile accidents. 1t happened yes
terday, and it will happen again to-
morrow.
Somebody turned without giving
signal; somebody was driving too
fast; somebody didn't stop at a
school district or a through boule-
ward; somebody insisted too much
on right-of-way or what he conceiv-
ed to be his privilege; somebody
lost his head in a crisis. The result
Casualties and waste, in lives and
property, that knowledge, caution
and fairness toward others would
have prevented.
1t should be reasonably simple
thing to observe traffic laws, to keep
a machine under control, to learn
the written and unwritten rules OF
the road, and to keep ones eyes
open for the mistakes of others as
we'll as ones own. Yet millions OF
motorists fail to do so.
1t should be remembered that
every accident is caused because
someone was reckless, incompetent,
careless or ignorant. Unprevent-
able accidents are rare. And in this
day of fast cars and congested traffic,
the poor driver is a menace to the
life and property of every citizen.
