BITTINGER

Let people say whate'er they may
Of broadcloth and those who wear
it.
IT'S not the coat that makes the man,
But the deeds through life that
bear it.
So always help a fellowman
If assistance he may lack it;
Do him all the good you can
Tho he may wear ragged jacket.

ing some refuse at the garage, his
shoestrings caught fire and in mo-

DEPARTMENT or HEALTH
SAYS SEE A DOCTOR

For centuries he's been maligned.
Fiction has it that in the presence
Of danger he hides his head in the
sand.
Naturalists assure us that this is
not true.
But still the fable persists.
We know of one creature, how
ever, that figuratively does bury his
head when danger threatens, says
ne Public Health League.
This creature is none other than
Mainland in no way does he play
the proverbial ostrich more than when
1t concerns his health.
oh, I'm all right, says Mr..
Averageman, II don't need a doctor"
And thereby he losses reason to
the wind and buries his head a few
inches deeper in the quicksand of
false security.
The chances are that he is all
right. But the probabilities are that
his condition is not as good as it
might be. There is also the ever
present possibility that despite his
feeling all right, he may be harbor-
ing one of the insidious Illnesses that
are so common in life, and that give
tew signs OF their presence until they
reach an advanced stage. The cost
70 the individual and society in terms
OF money and premature deaths is
then enormous.
Mr.. Average1nan is also believer
IN magic. At least he thinks that
doctors are magicians.
Alter years of neglect he brings
to the physician his worn and abused
body, and literally says, Here, make
me new man"
Medicine is capable of many mar
vels but of no magic.
The doctor is more effective as a
guardian of health than as member
OF broken-down bodies.
Prevention is the keynote of modern
medical pratice.
The periodic health examination is
the embodiment of prevention.
1t is wise the essence of precaution
1t is good sense.
Everyone needs a health examina-
ton at regular intervals.
It is especially important that
children should be regularly examined.
Without sound body the odds are
strongly against them in the battle of
lite. Many of the serious ailments
OF later life have their origin during
the illness of infancy and early
youth. Complications multiply as
the years go by. The victims may
be quite unaware of what is keeping
them behind others in the race.
You, too, are entitled to your share
of medical protection.
See to it that you get it.
