Physical Education Association. in
collaboration with the American Ii
orary Association, should have is
SUED a list of books on physical fit
ness. Although the list is primarily
Tor instructors in that field. it con-
talns many books of more popular
appeal, and these can be found at
the Public Library, Eighth and K
streets NV, and many of its
branches.
One of the newer books in this
field, Physical Conditioning: Exer-
clses for Sports and Healthful Liv-
ing" by George T. Stafford and Raw
o. Duncan, describes series of set
tlng-up exercises designed as a con-
dltloner for the more strenuous
sports. 1t includes such exercises
as hit the deck" which is lust
what 1t sounds like, and is recon-
mended for athletes only!
more cautious approach is pro-
vlded by two professional trainers
whose specially is taking off pounds
and Putting on muscle for the tired
businessman. Artie McGovern has
written THE Secret of Keeping Fit"
which covers the whole field of
physical fitness, including exercise,
diet, methods of reducing and what
to do for insomnia. In Exercise
and Keep Fit" Terry Hunt covers
much the same field in a very read
able style. Both authors are aware
of the danger of too violent exertion
by the enthusiastic beginner and
choose their exercises accordingly.
The books so far mentioned have
been addressed to the more athletic
and sportive sex. For the ladies,
Dorothy Nye has written Lady, Be
Fit" in which she emphasizes exer-
else and posture. The exercises are
not designed to produce a new race
OF Amazons, but rather to promote
health and general well-being.
II the pushups, side lifts and wrist
curls of the gymnasium trainer
sound too tedious and forbidding.
It's Fun to Keep Fit" by Fred
Barton, may be the answer. Here
are no dreary calisthenics, but direc-
tions for keeping fit by playing the
games you like to play and doing the
things you like to do. The book is
focused on the average citizen, not
by any means the athlete, and in
cludes a wide variety of pastimes,
from riding, which is usually consid-
cred good exercise, to singing, which
usually is not. Singing, incidentally,

Health Ward
nation furnished by Pine County
Nursing Service

In doing health inspections in the
schools, the nurse frequently finds
cases of scabies or itch, impetigo, and
ringworm. Mothers should be on the
lookout for these infections, and
when any of them are suspected
mothers should take their youngsters
to their family physicians early for
diagnosis and proper treatment.
Scabies, like lousiness, Is not a
respecter of persons. The itch mite
is a tiny parasite, just visible to the
eye. The female mite burrows into
the skin of the tender parts of the
body, especially between the fingers,
on the forearms, armpits, and waist
line. The lesion is called burrow.
One of the symptoms of the infec-
ton is a severe itching at night
when the adult and the young para
sites parade upon the skin seeking
new locations.
The impetigo lesion usually goes
through the following stages. First, it
appears as red spot, then, blister,
and finally crust. The LESSONS, if
untreated, spread rapidly. Lessons
appear on exposed parts of the body,
namely the hands and face.
Ringworm is caused by minute
plants or moldlike fungi which grow
in the skin. While some of these
fungi attack man alone, many Of them
infest animals, especially cattle and
pets and are transmitted to human
beings who handle them. The erup-
ton is pink in color. Scaling is also
present.
Any child who has any of these
three infections must be excluded
from school until his physician gives
his permission for return in writing.
This precaution is necessary for the
protection of other pupils.
