The women of the nation are the balance wheel of our social, political and economic life. No individual, no nation honoring the ideals of motherhood will stray far from the paths of justice. In times of sorrow we turn to her. In our mis-1 fortunes she comforts us. In our dejections, she guides us on to renewed efforts. From the cradle to the grave she watches over us, guarding us even with her life, toiling for ns, praying for us, ever forgetful of self, ever thoughtful of us. "Now, therefore, I, Louis L.

May we join in a concerted observance, rejoicing in the occasion afforded us to express, hi a small way, the love, the reverence and the lasting debt ever due her.

Speaker During Health Promotion Week Health Promotion week in the schools of our city and on Thursday the afternoon was set aside for the mothers of the community. Dr. Ethel Harrington, pediatrician, from the Illinois State Department of Health, was present at the Community high school, where she gave a most interesting and instructive talk to the mothers at 2:30 o'clock. Dr. Harrington spoke from a Wide and varied experience gained from her work throughout the state in promoting the health of children and it is to be regretted that there was not a larger attendance of mothers at the high school to hear her. When we stop to consider that there are many wonderfully educated doctors and physicians such as Dr. Harrington, who are devoting their life work to the health and improvement of children and who are ready and willing to assist the parents in their problems, it is deplorable that more did not take advantage of this help and show their appreciation of the opportunity afforded them through the courtesy of Mrs. Rulien, the schoolnurse and of Dr. Harrington. Dr. Harrington covered the most important problems of both the physical and mental sides of the child in a very clear and concise talk, after which she answered several questions askedT Among other things she said the weight of a child was a very important factor of their health and there ! should be a constant growth. She stressed the point that a child should eat three good meals a day, each one to be well balanced. Milk contains everything that the child needs for food and about one or one and a half pints of milk a day will give the amount of essentials needed. She said that the lack of a child's having no appetite was often due to poorly balanced meals, uncorrected physical defects or that the child is too highly stimulated. She said the question of nutrition was a big one. In speaking of physical defects, Dr. Harrington said that 90 percent of the disorders come from the nose and throat and that tonsils are the cause of much infection. One important thing to remember in the care of the teeth is that the molars which come when the child is about six years old are permanent teeth and should be taken care of. She spoke of the posture of the child and said that 85 percent of the children were not seated properly in the schools. The three essentials in shoes is to have a Straight inner edge, a rigid this day and enter into a united tri- counter and a good sens, ible, ,h e.e l. bute of love and respect to "Mother." j Many children wear too shori, stock- •wV- M - 1 „ CLASSIFIED ADVERTISEMENTS USE THE CLA&mSB COLUMNS FOB QUICK RESULTS FOR stiE LOST FOR SALE--One mahogany speed boat, 90 h. p., six cylinder universal motor, new last August.

The children are always very entertaining and pleasing in whatever they do and they certainly put it all over the big folks Tuesday in the very capable manner in which they enacted their parts. They spoke with loud and distinct voices and knew their parts perfectly without having to be prompted or assisted in any way. Both in the afternoon and evening music was furnished by the high school band which added much to the program. The Sells Health-O-Circus was a most unique and unusual affair impressing many good health laws and in fact the main points of good health were brought out in a most interesting way. The circus was written by Drs. L. W, and K. M. Morrey of the Mouth Hygiene Division of the Illinois State Department of Public Health, and instead of reaping a profit from its production for themselves they gave it over to the use of the state and through this course the, various schools are liable to procure it with the scenery and costumes. The ringmaster was most appropriately enacted by Tiowell Nye while the part of Mother Nature was taken by Helen Brennan and the two clowns were JCyelyn Karls and Shirley Covalt. sTke celh jibtrep .w?re directed, by Rulien, and Mrs. Kathryne Diehl accompanied. The circus was composed of ten booths, each one containing an essential of good health, f^nd variety was added by music and several songs with words appropriate to good health set to the tunes of late and popular pieces. i The circus was a new idea in impressing some old and worthwhile health laws and was much enjoyed by all who saw it. It was procured through the efforts of the school nurse, Mrs. Rulien, who is ever on the watch for the latest and best methods of pronouncing health and these programs are Very essential in impressing the health laws Upon the minds of the children. I| the afternoon the Children of the lower grades gave a most pleasing playlet in which Miss Cucumber and Mr. Pepper were the troublemakers in the . vegetable gardeh. The sun* bonnet babies planted seeds in large green boxes, then the raindrops and sunbeams made them grow and soon up came the vegetables who were glad to emerge frem their close quarters. The play was novel and pretty and the little folks did remarkably well. Stj* Mary's school children also, put on a playlet showing the need of fresh air and cleanliness and was very pleasingly given. Virgil Crees gave a specialty, "Putting Pep Into Your Motor," and the scene showed Virgil dressed in a mechanic's suit repairing an automobile. He gave a talk in which he referred to people as cars and was most amusing and unique as well as remarkably well done. The difficult piece to learn was memorized well and delivered in a way that made a big hit with his audience. Another specialty was a solo dance, "Narcissus," by Harriet *ifclele, which was very beautiful and done in a saojrt graceful »nd finished manner. Miss Harriet is a real artist in her dancing and displays much talent. These entertainments put on by the grade school should De given occasionally, as they promote a better spirit of co-operation between the teachers and parents and create a new interest in the -work of the school. .
