[CRUSADE URGED
AS SCHOOL PART
Marion County Tuberculosis
Body Suggests New Class
for Pupils.
LETTER SENT TO GRAFF
A strong: recommendation from the Ma
rion County Tuberculosis association that
the ■work of the modern health crusade
be made a permanent part of the Indian
apolis schools’ courses in physiology and
hygiene was sent today to the board
of school commissioners, through E. TJ..
Gruff, superintendent.
Mary A. Meyers, executive secretary
of the local tuberculosis association, made
public a letter from the association to
Mr. Graff, urging that the health step
be taken immediately in the Indianapolis
schools, and supporting the recommenda
tion of the association with the final
summaries of the results of the modern
health crusade in the city and county for
the two years during which the tubercu
losis association and the Junior Red Cross
Jsave sponsored the movement here.
™“Since the success of the child la all
his studies depends on his health, we
sincerely hope that next year time will
be given in the regular school program
for this kind of health education,” the
letter to Mr. Graff said.
“It is impossible to show in figures
the results of such health work,” the re
port continued.
“While the crusade was established in
every school, the number of children who
received the rewards is not as large as
we had hoped—yet every child who par
ticipated in this crusade received lasting
benefit.”
81.800 fHILDBEN
ARE ENROLLED.
The final figures, made public following
the close of the health crusade for the
recent school year, showed that a totnl
of 31,500 children In the city schools alone
were enrvlled under the banner of the
new health program and that to these
children a total of 47.113 health chore
cards were distributed daring the year.
The chore cards were marked each day
with the various "health chores” that the
children accomplished, such as brushing
of teeth regularly, sleeping with windows
open, eating proper foods, keeping their
bathing regular and frequent and similar
health habits.
Thousands of children in the city
schools were successful in attaining high
rank in the crusade because of their
constant attention to the requirements
cf the health schedule.
Teachers and parents, who watched
closely the development of the crusade
work, were impressed with the fact that
thousands of children left the usual hap
hazard health ways of the young and
accepted enthusiastically the “clean
body” prescription of the modern health
crusade.
Important development of the children
In the various schools, in scholarship,
aiso followed the rigid application to
the health crusade habits, according to
reports Just made by Miss Gladys Cox,
Ihe nurse in charge of the crusade In
the city schools, and Miss Clare E
Brook who was in charge of the work
among the children of the county and
parochial schools.
WORK ADOPTED
BY OTHER?.
The report, sent to the school authori
ties here today, showed that the paro
chial and private schools of the city also
adopted the work of the modern health
crusade in practically unanimous fash
ion.
Miss Brook reported that there was
a total enrollment of 4.579 children in
the health crusade in the parochial
schools and that a total of 6.035 chore
cards were distributed in these schools.
Thousands of children of the primary
grades, both in the common and paro
chial schools, kept the health chores
religion sly. but were not included in
the final reports of the work made pub
lic today.
The reports to Mr Graff showed that
a total of 9.422 children in the city
schools, reported on questionnaires, sent
out by the tuberculosis association, that
they now wash their hands before eat
ing a meal.
A total of 6,133 children reported that
they have bought new tooth brushes

the dinner party in New York attended
by Miss Ely Hope Anderson of Minne
apolis and Joseph B. Eiwell the night
before Eiwell was murdered.
since the crusade began and 3,278 re
ported that whereas they formerly slept
with little, If any, air In their bedrooms,
they now will not go to bed without all
the windows being opened.
A total of 3,504 have stopped the drink
ing of tea, coffee and other drinks, which
affect some children in an unhealthful
manner.
A total of 4.322 were reported by their
respective teachers as having their per
sonal appearances much improved by
reason of their close adherence to the
health habits of the crusade.
The reports in the crusade for both the
city and parochial and Lutheran schools
showed that a total of 11.304 Indianapolis
children now make it a point to wash
their hands thoroughly before each meal.
MANY PAMPHLETS
ARE DISTRIBUTED.
During the crusade thousands of
pamphlets, dilating on health habits of
various kinds, were distributed to the
children in the schools. It is shown In
the reports made public today and the
calls of the various nurses involved In
the crusade frequently were met with
such enthusiasm over the health work
that the attention of the National Tuber
culosis association was called to the suc
cess of the Indianapolis crusade.
Because the development of thousands
of the children toward anew and higher
health basis was so marked the urgent
request is being made of the city school
authorities to provide similar health In
struction to the modern health crusade
In all the schools of the city next year
through the regular curriculum.
Lee E. Swails. superintendent of

schools for tho county, In commenting
on the splendid results of the crusade
among the county schools, pointed out
that often on his visits to the various
schools children would ask him health
questions, or otherwise show that their
minds were constantly full of the new
and entertaining program of making a
daily business of keeping clean and
seeking real child health.
The physicians and other health au
thorities of the city have indorsed tho
work of the modern health crusade aud
the results that have been obtained un
der It for the children of the city.
Parents throughout the city have noti
fied the ttibfei-eulosis association that
ihey hope the work of the modern
health crusade, in some form, will be
come a part of the regular school pro
gram in the city and county.
The state board of education now has
before it for consideration the proposal
to incorporate the health crusade wort
in the regular school curriculum every
where in Indiana, and a special com
mittee of the state board has been ap
pointed to investigate the feasibility of
such an order.
Many other cities throughout the
United States, and many states as a
whole, a.ready have adopted the health
crusade, sometimes In a modified form
and sometimes in its present entirety,
for a definite part of the school curri
cula.

"My stomach was very much dlsor

"I was extremely nervous and got very

easier and get to Sleep I would have to
have four or five pillows under my head.
“I was In poor condition when a friend
and neighbor recommended Pepgen to
me; In fact, pleaded with me to try it.
I am glad she did. Pepgen has made a
wonderful change. My appetite began to
Improve right away.
“I sleep about eight hours every night
and sleep as soundly as a child.
“It used to be that I was unable to
do my housework. I even bad to have
someone come In and sweep for rqe.
Now I do the housework for four peo

BOILER MAKER’S
“LAY-OFF” ENDS
After Five Weeks of Idle
ness Due to Illness, Pep
gen Makes Him Fit.
“My husband had to lay off from his
work five weeks on account of his run
down condition," say* Mrs. E. M. Sinlth
er of Indianapolis, and she gives credit
to Pepgen for putting him In physical
trim to be back on the Job agrin.
Mr. Smlther is a bollernaker at the
Beech Grove shops of the Big Four and
lives at 61S North Pine street.
“My husband had congestion of the
stomach,” says Mrs. Smlther. "Drinking
coffee or eating onions would mean mis
ery for him. He was subject to severe
headaches. He was also very nervous.
His sleep was not restful. He would roll
and toss and he had nightmares. At
times his legs would ache so much from
his knees down that he could hardly
stand It.
“A man who works with my husband
recommended Pepgen. It has given him
splendid results. His nerves are Im
proved. He has gained in strength and
he sleeps fine. His appetite Is good. The
Improvement put him in condition to go
back to work again.

PURE CASCARA
IS FINE LAXATIVE
But It Is Greatly Improved
By Senna Leaves.
Purs cascar* Is one of the best laxa
tives known, but it is not always suf
ficient to overcome a severe case of con
stipation. Senna leaves are another popu
lar home remedy for constipation, but,
like cascara, they will not answer the
problem where the ailment Is of long
standing.
To secure best results, senna and cas
cara should be used in combination. Two
small horses traveling in the same direc
tion will always outpull one horse that
weighs as much as both of them.
To mix cascara and senna In exactly
the proper proportion to have a uni
form dose requires a chemist’s skill, but
you can purchase them already mixed
under the name of “Pepgen Laxative Tab
lets,” at leading drug stores.
Pepgen Laxative Tablets are especially
suitable for nursing mothers, for people
with delicate stomachs and for children
where great care must be exercised In
selecting a laxative. They are pleasant
to take. Eat them like candy.
One tablet should be taken night and
morning, gradually discontinuing their
use as the action of the bowels becomes
normal.
When constipated, It is a good idea to
take Pepgen Laxative Tablets at the
samo time you take Pepgen Tonic. The
Laxative Tablets keep the bowels open,
while the tonic acts as a strength build
er.—Adv.

Statement.'
A King by name and the king of cooks
of Indianapolis by right of seniority—
that Is Mr. Thomas King of 527 Eal
North street.
Mr. King Is 73 years old, and when he
arrived In Indianapolis it was little more
than a woods. For thirty-eight years ha
has been cooking In Indianapolis restau
rants. How much food he has cooked,
neither he nor any one else knows. But
it must have been a huge quantity in the
thirty-eight years, especially as It used
to be that the dishes would be heaped
high with food instead of the modern
way on account of the H. C. of L.
At present Mr. King Is employed at the
Roller restaurant at Washington and
Senate streets.
He hasn’t time to talk with callers
about old experiences of restaurant life
but he is willing to take the time to tell
any one who is interested what he knows
about Fepgen. He thinks this remedy
can do a lot of people a world of good.
He thinks so because of his wife's experi
ence with It. He says:
“My wife, who is CO years of age, suf
fered a stroke of paralysis in May, 1918,
and it left her In a weakened condition.
“Her limbs were in such condition she
could hardly walk. And she said that H
seemed that every bone In her body
ached. She had very little appetite.
“I considered her condition serious at
the time that I got Pepgen for her. Bhe
began to feel better almost immediately.
Her appetite is greatly improved and she
has gained five pounds, which is certain
ly remarkable considering her age. Shs
says that she does not have the aching
pain she used to have.
“She is stronger in every way. Whils
my wife is not a well woman and I do
not wish apy one to think that I would
recommend Pepgen to overcome paralysis,
still it is a great medicine to relieve
' weakness and to make a person feel bet
ter. We are well pleased with results.”—

Every meal you eat should give yon

Something must be wrong. These peo

The man who ate and did not get fat

The too slender man or woman rarely

Plumpness of the body depends upon
the stomach extracting the fats from the
foods that are eaten. When the stom
aph falls at fat-making, the whole sys

Plumpness does not depend upon the
amount of food that is eaten; It de

CHILDREN SHOULD
BE WATCHED WITH
VERY GREAT CARE
One of the greatest mistakes a parent
can make Is to neglect looking after a
child’s digestion.
The tissues of a child's body are very
delicate. They have not acquired the
powers of endurance which older people
possess. The greater portion of the food
they eat is required for growth and
development.
Together with the double strain ot
studying and growing a child’s digestion
Is taxed to the limit and parents should
see that their children have prompt at
tention should stomach disorders occur.
Thousands of parents say that Pep
gen, the great reconstructive tonic, has
benefited their children—given them bet
ter digestion—made them stronger—less
reetless.
Pegen has been a real help to many
an anemic child because it puts blood
of good, rich, red quality into their little
veins and makes them want to laugh
and play.
Parents who want to know more of
Pepgen, how it should be given and the
result* that may be expected from lta
use, may learn of it by asking at leading
drug stores.—Adv.
