"Sure, hon." The wagon boss shot

Marian Dunn hesitated a mo-

car and walked ahead of him up
the street.

wooden steps led up the sidewalk

the room suddenly seem even small

out greeting to anyone. He shot
a contemptuous glance about the
walls, which were decorated with

facing the door with his back
against the wall-an instructive pro-
vision. Shafer jumped up and hus-

chair for Marian at the end opposite
himself, and when this was done
the remainder of the room filled
rapidly with sombreroed men.

Are Your Children
Ready For School?

August is the time for getting the
children ready for school. Their
readiness involves more than suit
able, new book-sack and row of
shiny pencils. AS essential as these
things are to child's idea of readi-
ness, they are of minor Importance
compared to his physical fitness
and mental well-being.
It is well known that a child's
progress in school, his mental and
social development and his ready ad-
justment to school and community
life are greatly influenced by the
state of his bodily health. If he is
suffering from such defects as bad
teeth, diseased tonsils, adenoids, poor
vision, impaired hearing, or from
conditions brought about by impro-
per diet and faulty health habits, he
will be placed at disadvantage with
his companions. The odds will be
against him in any race.
It is therefore of the greatest i'm
portance that a child be started to
school right, free of all physical
handicaps and in a healthful state of
mind. Parents are urged to use
these days prior to the opening of
school in September in which to
make sure that their children are in
as good health as possible, and thus
ready to enter school. To do this
most satisfactorily, a trip to the den
fist and check up by the family
physician are advised.
