Health Ward
Information furnished by Pine County
Nursing Service.

During the past week the roads
have dried up, and Miss Virginia
Karlson has been visiting schools in
the rural districts, including Stur-
geon Lake and Denham. Many of
the children have seen their dentist,
and have had their teeth fixed. Three
boys and girls have been fitted to
glasses, after Miss Karlson advised
them to see their doctor last year on
one of her visits.
1t pays to have the eyes taken care
of as soon as possible to avoid any
further trouble. Some of the chill
dren were found with weaker eyes
this year than last. These children
should be taken care of and fitted
with glasses now. 1t may perhaps
help so they will not have to wear
glasses all their life.

Gently at the home of Mrs. Abraham
son in Cloverdale There were IL

tute on May 8, 9 and 10. These meet
ings are to be held in st. Paul this
