Miss Edith Countryman, R. N !
from Boise, Idaho, is continu!, g th I { |
Inspection of the children at the
school house this week. About hilt
of the children of Orofino have re
sponded and have received their | j
cards indicating the condition found.
Many of these children have
celved the distinction of having th ■ j
red star on their cards for beini^|
within one pound of their normal
weight. It Is neccessary to k ep the
child up to his normal weight as
nearly as possible. Many of the
children found to be underweight
are the ones who are not using as
muc^ milk as they should and are
users of tea and coffee.
The response from the parents is
very good and much Interest has
been shown by the mothers in hav
ing the defects corrected and many
have consulted the nurse in regard
to feedings for the children. Lit
erature has been distributed in re
gard to diets for the normal child,
if the child Is not up to the normal
standard the physician should bs
consulted and a special diet pre
scribed by him for the child.
While this seems to be one of the
healthiest communities, in man;
respects, everyone should considei
that he himself Is responsible for
keeping the health of the commun
ity as near perfect as possible.
Community action can remedy many
conditions Injurious to the welfare
of the community. The purity of
water, the milk, and the food sup
ply; the cleanliness of the streets
and alleys; the disposal of waste—
all these are in control of any com
munity. Every one shouldhelp not
only from the standpoint of sanlta

tion but to make the town as near,

The
if not better, in many
than any other place around,
school grounds of Orofino carry a
very attractive and clean appear
ance, why not have every place
equal to it. Miss Countryman re
ports that the condition of th
school buildings in general are
much better than the average small
town school and the appearance or
the buildings Inside indicate better
care than the average public build
ing.
Many of the children seem to
have teeth that are In need of at
tention. Miss Countryman Is going
to give a special talk on teeth at
the meeting at the school house
next Monday afternoon at 2:30.
Every mother Is- Invited to attend
this meeting and other points tn

will be piesented. Any of the par
ents wishing to ask questions will
be given this opportunity.

every one and as the time Is lim

HAROLD MTJNCK RETURNS 10
OROFINO
*
At
Harold Munck, who left here last
November on a winter's visit to his
home in Sorlg, Denmark, returned
to Orofino this week and will re
main In the Clearwater country for
several months at least. His bro
ther Oskar accompanied him to Ida
ho and will remain here permmt'y
and become a true American like
his brother, Harold. During the
naval engagement between the Eng
lish and German fleets off the coast
of Jutland. Oskar Munch and
others residing In the northerly
point of Jutland could h :ar the
firing of the naval guns during the
battle and witnessed the washing
up of English and German bodies
on the Danish shores. Harold la
much pleased to return to Idaho and
saw nothing in his long journey to
compare with the beautiful scenery
of the Gem State. The Clearwater
mountains with their evergreen
verdure Is a satisfying relief to the
lowland monotony of Denmark and
the prairie sameness of Montana.
Harold Munck proved up on a home
stead near Rattlesnake Mont, but
the Clearwater Is his attractive
home. His many friends are very
glad to welcome him back.

OROFINO TRIMS KENDRICK
Orofino trimmed Kendrick to the
tune of $100.00 tn Kendrick, on
July 4th. Although the score was
12 to 10 in favor of our boys, which
is somewhat a hay seed record. It
got the money for the Orofino base

handicapped by lack of training,
which probably accounts for the
