lively few cases OF arthritis are
incapacitating, despite the fact that
the conditions grouped under this
term are a leading cause Of dis
ability.
COMMON TYPE
One OF the types Of chronic ar
thrills Is known as hypertrophic
arthritis and q dozen other names
contributed by the students Of this
disease in the past. This type OF
arthritis has been recognized In
the bony remains OF animals and
man as long as they have been
known to populate the earth. It has
been known and now exists under
all the extremities Of climate the
earth affords. Although 1t becomes
apparent about midlife or later In
both men and women who are
otherwise in good health, hard
usage Of the joints may bring on
the condition at an earlier age -
even before forty.
This onset gives a clue as to the
cause. 1t is sometimes called de-
generative arthritis, because the
changes appear to be a wearing
out Of the tissues that make up
the joint as a result comes from
multiple slight injuries. The total
Of these injuries after so years &C.
counts for the change.
Careful examinations show that
the cartilaginous surface Of the
joint undergoes a fine splitting
which ultimately distorts on the
normally smooth surface. Bony
overgrowths occur at the junction
Of the bone and joint cartilage,
which produce spicules or spurs
which may be detected by means
of X-rays and are characteristic
Of the enlarged nobby or irregular
joints close to the surface Of the
skin. such as the knees and fingers.
Motion Of such joints may be
somewhat limited, but the Joint
does not become fixed. Occasion
ally. q small spicule Of cvergrown
bone and cartilage will become de-
tached from its base through in
Jury incident on use or accident
and will move freely in the Joint
cavity. These are called jolnt-mice
and they may be responsible for
considerable aggravation Of the
trouble.
CAREFUL EXERCISE
The condition Is recognized by
stiffness and sometimes q limi-
tatlon OF the range Of motion oi
the Joint. There Is usually no pain
when the Joint Is nc Test. but active
motion or Notwithstanding cause
discomfort. The stiffness Is dimln-
lshcd while one exercises. but II
the exercise is oveFdone. the joint
becomes even stir after rest 1hl

The PreschOoI Child

The PreschOol Child
It has been said often that q pre-
school age child is the member OF
the family who Is Internationally
neglected. He is at that In between
age and the famlly's attention is To-
cussed on either the little baby or
the child who has just started to
school.
The child's chief business in life
Is to graw strong and develop good
habits. No phase Of a child's edu-
cation Is more important or demands
more skill than the building Of good
food habits.
Before children reach school age
they should learn to enjoy eating,
to like q variety Of foods, and to eat
enough Of the right foods.
The following meal patterns show
one way In which the necessary
foods may be included each day:
Breakfast
Fruit, usually orange, grapefruit,
or tomato Juice
Cereal, whole-grain, or egg, or both
Toast and butter
Milk on cereal and to drink
Dinner
Meat fish, egg, or CHEESE dish
Potato
Vegetable
Bread and butter
Simple dessert, such as ice cream or
milk puddings
Milk to drink
Lunch or Supper
Main dish such as cream soup
cereal with milk, or egg
Vegetable, green or yellow
Bread and butter
Fruit, cooked or raw
Mix to drink
II o midmorning or midafternoon
lunch Is needed and II does not in
terfere with the appetite, milk or
fruit may be served.
Perhaps building good food habits
Is not the easiest thing TO accom-
plish. On the other hand, once such
habits are vel Established parents
are spared much embarrassment and
many unhappy hours. Development
Of these aims doesn't just happen,
but rather, certain definite steps
must be taken each day to build
these desired good food habits.
Tood health L. the best insurance
for children. And proper nutrition
through good food habits Is an In
tegral part OF good health. II you

Activities Stressed
At West jefferson This Year

During the school year 1912
43, the West Jefferson school has
been prominently identified with
war activities. Two organiza-
tons in the school that have done
much to promote these activities
are the Junior Red Cross and the
High School Victory Corps. IN
der the direction of these groups
many worthwhile activities have
been undertaken.
The scrap drive, which was
held during the fall months, was
highly successful in the school.
1000 pounds of scrap were col
lected by the students. All stu
dents from the first grade to the
twelfth participated.
The Junior Red Cross Member
ship Drive was one of the first
efforts of this group. While the
students of the school did not
subscribe one hundred percent to
this drive, the response W,7s very
! gratifying. The Junior Red Cross
has sponsored many projects
during the year. Christmas gift
packages were sent from the
school to soldiers over seas.
Christmas gift packages were
mailed to children abroad. Christ
mas cards and Easter cards were
made by the art students and
these also were sent to the SOL
diers. Coat hangers for the SOL
diers have also been collected by
the Junior Red Cross. Various
articles of apparel have been
made for the Red Cross; among
these were hospital gowns, af-
ghans, lap robes and many other
knitted articles.
The high school activity has
been under the direction of The
High School Victory Corps. In
January of this year the Victory
corps was organized. The Intan-
tile Paralysis Drive was made
under the direction of the Victory
Corps. Approximately $4,000 was
realized from this drive. The air
spoilers division of the Corps has
become volunteer Air Raid War
dens and have assisted in the
blackouts in the town. The cor
respondence division of the Vic
tory Corps has written hundreds
, of letters to school alumni who
are in the armed services. The
Red Cross division has made
many garments for the Red Cross.
The War Bond and Stamp divis-
ion staged a very successful week
of bond selling. This group sold
$4,000 in stamps and bonds. In
a single stamp day $4,000 in
stamps was sold. During the
month of March the Victory Corps
