WAYNE LEADS OTHER COUNTIES IN WHEAT TREATING FOR SMUT

Health Dope for Children By FREDERICK J. HASKIN

Y&Ljrie county treated more seed wheat for smut last (all than any other county In the state, according to reports presented at the state convention of county agents at Purdue university, from which J. L. Dolan, Wayne county agricultural agent, has just returned. " This record was established by the Centerville plant in spite of numerous difficulties in getting started and was due largely to the perfect organization

by which all farmers desiring treatment were listed beforehand and giv

en a scheduled time for having their

seed treated.

Discussion of the pure seed law, the livestock shipping associations - and

similar matters occupied the attention

of the convention, and addresses were Riven by Dean Skinner, Prof. G. I. Christie and several United States department of agriculture authorities. Discusses Profits The prospects for profits In livestock In the near future was the sub

ject of Dean Skinner's address. Sheep are moving eastward instead of remaining a strictly western product, according to him, and much of the credit for Indiana's place in the sheep industry was given to the efforts of Prof. Harper, who came to the Purdue eheep husbandry department from Illinois. . Hogs are the most profitable animal at present according to Dean Skinner, who pointed out the differential be

tween corn and hog prices. He advised the audience to waich the markets in January and February as the number of hogg for next year would largely depend upon Indianapolis and Chicago prices at that time. If prices are low, the tendency will be for farmers to let their breeding stock go instead of staying for another year. A critical situation in the horse industry was pointed out by the speaker, who stated that there is a shortage already, with a prospect for demand in the winter for breeding stock as farseeing breeders will get ready to sup

ply the demand that must come soon. The horse will never be fully supplanted by the tractor, Mr. Skinner said. Tells About Stallions. , In this connection, Dean Skinner failed attention to the ' new stallion registration and enrollment law, which provides that only pure bred stallions can be enrolled for service. The stallions must not only be pure-bred, but that fact must be established by having them registered, and after Jan. 1, no stallions that are not registered will be enrolled. Cattle feeders and breeders are a little cautious at present, according to Dean Skinner, who said the prospect is not particularly encouraging. Indiana farmers, although they have lost money, have not been so hard hit as those in neighboring states, stated

O. I. Christie, speaking of the farmers' financial status. A careful investigation of Indiana agriculture under the direction of Prof. Lloyd, a national authority, showed that there wore comparatively few cases of forced sales or assignments. Indiana Conditions Good

WASHINGTON, D. C, Oct. 29. "A

good complexion powder is graham flour.

"When you're hungry between "meals

eat a glass of water.

"Are you superstitious? A light thrown over the left shoulder while writing brings good luck." These humorous remarks were written for children, but there is something in them for any one who will read them carefully. They are a few of the daily health notes on a new calendar published by the Child Health Organization., The Bureau of Education is trying to interest every school In the country In health. Attempts to teach health rules to adults, and to make them health enthusiasts, have been practically admitted failures. Grown persons are set in their ways.

They will take some kind of exercise if it happens to appeal to them, and does not interfere with their accustom

ed routine. But tea, coffee, and late hours become so much a part of the life of the average adult that he rarely

has the will power to break away from

them. So long as he can "go, he re

gards himself as reasonably healthy.

So the educators are turning to the children, and new methods are being

adopted. At one time a school that taught the number of bones in the body and how the blood circulates thought

it was teaching the principles of health. Now, the teacher is more apt to run around the school yard with a

trooD of children following her to

make the blood circulate.

The important fact that the Bureau

of Education is striving to emphasize

is that health habits are not instinc

tive. No child instinctively goes to

bed at nine o'clock in order to get ten

hours of sleep.

Nor is washing before meals in

stinctive. The health calendar's ad

vice that the first course of every meal should be served in a wash bowl would not have been understood by medieval folk who thought nothing of dirt and died like rats when disease

germs spread

them to keep themselves and their

houses, food, and water clean. Today we know astounding facts about the power of germs and how to keep well, but there is nothing to show that instinct has been urging everybody to eat plenty of vitamines all along. Keeping Well a Science. Most of our health rules are based on facts that scientists and doctors have spent years in determining. In crder to make these rules habits it is necessary to make them popular. In the schools, the spirit of competition achieves what rule scould not. The Bureau of Education has found that children become intensely interested in records for neatness, keeping health rules, and bringing themselves

up to a high standard of health. This

is regarded as encouraging. The difficulty is that not all the children are being reached. Even with

interest in health keener than it has even been, there are several rural districts where the children do not have any physical training at all. And not all city schools are working to raise the health standards of individual

pupils. , There is no one to tell children

made among school children, both in city and country, showed an average of fully 20 per cent who were so much

undernourished as to be considered in

a serious condition.

The Bureau of Education is especial

ly interested in improving underweight

defects. Weight is an index of health.

In children, and in grown persons as

well, excessive fat or thinness is al

most invariably a sign of some health

rule disregarded. Occasionally, the

condition i3 the result of some disease.

A normal child gains weight with

more or less regularity, and - should weigh somewhere near the standard for his age and height.

Children who weigh as much as 10

per cent below the figure set as a

standard for their age and height are sub-normal physically, A child who is

not more than 15 per cent heavier

than the standard is probably healthy,

and has a reserve of strength that is desirable. Weight more than 15 per cent above the standard is apt to be overweight, and generally implies some

fault in food, sleep, exercise, or breathing. The standards approved by the government and printed for school room use were fixed by Dr. Thomas D. Wood,

director of physical training of Columbia University. The table is regarded

as the best available

In preparing his table, Dr. Wood con

sulted statistics gathered from 10,000 records of Horace Mann school children; life insurance statistics for te 15 to 20 year period; statistics gathered by well known doctors; and statistics of New York school children, 14 to 16 years old, who were examined for permission to work.

The government is urging schools all over the country to have scales as health equipment and use the government weight table. In some communi

Instinct did not lead! some other organization is giving a

scale to a school building. With this

apparatus on hand, a record can easily be kept from month to month showing how each child stands. Besides a scale in every school building, the Bureau of Education would like to see hot lunches in every school. And it hopes that soon we may have all over the country school physicians, adequately paid and engaged to give all of their time to the schools . Then the school doctor can not only prevent disease but he can assist the teacher to make well children healthier. Not until the schools begin to spend some time and money on the bodies as well as the brains of the children can we hope to reach the government's aim to have 90 per cent of the children of the country well nourished, strong, alert, and clean.

continued to increase. Every day of

the school so far has seen an increase in the attendance while this school even at the start was ahead of last year's record. Still larger numbers had been expected to attend the final session which was held this afternoon, and true to this belief, the crowd began pouring in well before the opening hour. Many farmers were in the city as it was Saturday, the traditional trading day, and their,, wives formed a large part of the audience for the first time since the school started. Much Interest Shown. Much interest was shown in the instruction, the various housewives in the audience asking questions freely and giving testimony as to their experiences with the different methods of preparing the foods used.

LAMB LAND SOLD AT i LOW FIGURES FRIDAY' The sale of the realty for the settlement of the estate of J. T. Lamb, deceased, took place at auction on Friday. The attendance was quli.e large, many being curious to know what the land would bring at public sale. Harris and Harris, attorneys, report the sale of the 396 acres, divided into four tracts, as follows: The home place of 183 acres was bought by William C. Nifer at $100 per acre. William E. Beeson took ths 100-acre tract at $70, and the 40-acre

tract at $50 per acre. Carl Berheide bought a tract of 73 acres at $33 per acre.

companies were visited as well as I be

county recorders and abstract companies, farm sales auctioneers and the farmers themselves. The reason for the better comparaMive condition of the Indiana farmers over those of other states is given by Christie as being due to his more conservative practices. The action of the grain dealers in censuring the county agents at their national convention in Chicago recently, was deplored by Christie, who stated that they had made a mistake in doing so.

JAPAN BUDGET LARGE TOKIQ, Oct. 29 The Nichi Nichi Shimbun today prints what it says is unofficial data regarding the tentative draft of the budget to be presented to the Diet in December, showing a total of 1.600,000.000 yen expenditure provided for. It is believed, says the newspaper, that the army and navy estimates comprise approximately 48 percent of this amount.

too little fruit and milk, or that they are slow in learning because they do

not get enough sleep. Commissioner of Education Tigert believes that all of these schools should

given time to health teaching.

Something is wrong with a school system that turns out stoop-shpuIOered and underfed graduates. "It is admitted by every one that nothing in life is worth while without health," says Mr. Tigert. "We have long taught the theory of health in the schools through courses in physiology. We are combating disease and defects through school doctors and school nurses. But we have only lately come to see that it is the daily practice of health habits which

is important, and that it is the duty i of the public schools to give to every.

child this foundation for personal success and value as a citizen. Our Low Standard of Health. That the health standard of the nation does need raising, and must be raised in some way was shown by the often quoted draft figures; one out of four men unfit for service. In the schools four out of five children need dental treatment. And according to Dr. L. Emmett Holt, surveys

EUROPE MUST

If the European allies continue to fail to act, and if our commercial distress is prolonged, the time may come when the business elements among us and what is politically more potent, our farmers, may look with tolerance on this course. For the present, however, the political sentiment that has been built up in opposing to taking any part in European affairs makes the latter alternative impossible. There is nothing to do but wait.
