GETTING READY FOR SCHOOL.
School Children Should. Have All De
fects and Minor Ailments Corrected
Before School Starts.
"There's- something in the Septem
ber air," says the , State Board of
Health, "that puts one in mind of
school and books, of getting, together
booksacks and lunch baskets and
starting out on another six, eight or
ten months' school. But. books and the
'.unch basket are not all of the pre
parations needed today toward getting
ready for school . The school Is no
longer considered a mere brain factory
working independently of other condi
tions and relations but is rather .a
plant that works both the mind and
the body . Children bring with them
to school both brains and bodies,, and
one is not normally developed inde
pendent of the other - ; .
,. "The real and most .important . pre
paration for school," gays the Board,
"is on the part' of parents In behalf of
their chlldrens' health. Every parent
wants his child to have the best pos

-Temperance MoVemenl In France.
In a time when .the very existence
of the French nation depends upon
the sobriety of its people, Unrequired
a year's .struggle to win from the
cabinet temperance legislation whicii i
simply forbids the sale of spirituous
drinks and wines containing more
than 15 per cent, of alcohol to wom
en, children and soldiers. "And sub
sequent official circulars have weak
ened' these orders.
But before the war such halting
measures would have seemed to be
long to the realm of dreams, so far
in advance is it of any previous leg
islation, and manifesting such a radi
cal change in. French customs. The
most hopeful phase is that this leg
islation was won through the cp-oper-ation
of 10,000. different societies, and
that the number of persons who fav-:
ored the measures exceeded 2.000.000J
With practically every man in
France performing his full ; measure
of military service for . his country,
it follows naturally that the temper
ance movement is largely a feminist
movement.
