Larger Number of Children Inspected
Than at any Other Town in the
County.
Miss Countryman, the state nurse, J
who is sent out by the Idaho Anti-Tu- of
berculosis association,completed a dem- j
onstration of her work at Elk River on
July 29th. Miss Countryman has been
working in Clearwater county for the
past month making a health survey of
the children. Last Christmas the seals I
that were said in this county helped to j
bring Miss Countryman here for this j
work. Elk River .s given credit tor j ed

lent health crusade work which is one
of the Junior activities of the National !
Tuberculosis association.
A larger number of the children were
inspected by the nurse at Elk River
than any other town in the county and
the response from the parents was ex
cellent. A meeting was held at the
school house last Tuesday and was well
attended, Miss Countryman gave a talk
•n the general health of the children
and special emphasis was placed on
posture.
Bad posture is too often regarded as
a harmless habit. If any effort is made
to correct the tendency at home or
even in school, it is frequently not be
cause health seems directly concern
ed, but because it detracts from one's
personal appearance,
posture upon respiration is easily dem
onstrated. Where there is a faulty
posture there is a lessening of the re
spiratory movements and also to the
intake of air. The influence of bad
posture upon the organs of digestion
is almost as vicious. Habits that pro
duce round shoulders and forward
drooping of the head also lessen the
amount of space necessaryfor the func
tioning of the organs of the abdominal
cavity and lead to their displacement,
This displacement is especially favored
in the- case of those who are of tall and
slender build. Reference has already
been made to the prevalence of bad
posture among country children.
Enough has been said about the evil
effects of bad posture to indicate
that posture is one o f the import
ant problems of every teacher in rural
schools. It is just as important that
children be eduented In proper posture
it is for children to learn to read and
the teacher is one of the best persons
to impress the children in making for
themselves good habits of all kiuds.
Last year a home credit card was used
in the schools ill Elk River. This card
takes in nil of the Modern Health Cru
sade chores and also gives the child
credit when home activités are per
formed in connection with it. This
year Mias Merwin, the county superin
tendent of schools, is going to Jplace
pedal emphasis on Health Crusade in
all of the rural schools. This material

Motion pictures are sent out for use in
schools and theatres where the child
ren may receive a very practical de
monstration in pictures of good health
habits. Practical demonstrations are
given by very competent registered
nurses in school nursing and any other
form of public health nursing that may
be the wish' of the communities where
good seal sale funds have been pro
duced. Surveys are made on the sani
tary conditions in towns and milk sup
plies. A great deal of time is spent
especially in the care of thc tubercu
lous persons over the state and clinics
have been held in connection with the
county medical associations. Milk for
the undernourished children is provid
ed in many communities where the
children are unable to purchase hot
lunches. The association stands ready
to help any community in the better
ment of health.
Elk River is an especially clean town
and deserves an honorable mention on
civic pride. Business men and others
recently cleaned up one of thc streets
olfthe town in order that it would make
a better place for the children to play
all times of the year. Coasting will be
the chief attraction for the winter
months and unless the place was clean
for summer it would not afford a good
place for the children in the winter.

| Lage Crowd of People Turned Out
to " itness the Match and All
Got Their Money's Worth.
[ Gust Schneidau.the towering wrestler
I from Lewiston, met humiliating defeat
at the hands of Jimmy Crawford, the
light weight champion of the Pacific
Coust, at the Rex Theatre Saturday
night.
The theatre was almost filled with
wrestling fans who were exceedingly
well pleused with the match,
Schneidau secured the first fall in 25
minute s with an arm lock and body
scissorS( although Crawford had the

tions ln the first round and on ly lacked

After an interval of ten minutes rest
Crawford went after his man in earnest
and unquestioned confidence. In a
few minutes the big man was on his
back and a second time it was appar
ent that Crawford was the winner but a
fall was not allowed bv the referee
Crawford started to put on his robe
and quit the game, but was urged by
the cheering crowd to go back and
throw his man, which he did in a few
minutes. Before grappling for the se
cond round Schnideau remarked to
Crawford that he had not been thrown
and Crawford confidently remarked,
"well, you will be in a few minutes."
Crawford landed his man in nine
minutes from the call of time by a scis
sor on Schneidau's right arm and a
double wrist.lock on his left,
Crawford laid quietly on his stomach
and the mighty Schneidau was elevated
perpendicularly, resting on the back of
his head and neck and the upper por
tion of his shoulder:, frantically waving
his legs in strenuous sweeps like the
arms of a Dutch windmill in a bleak
nor'wester from the North Sea.
It was one of the best wrestling I
matches ever witnessed by many of j
the old time sports, and Crawford's
reputation as an able, clean and intel
ligent wrestler is positively proven,

HALF BATE AUTS

That Owners of New Automobiles
Will Receive Benefits, is Seen
in Notice set for Aug. I.
Notice has been received that
any
one purchasing an automobile or bring

is required to pay only one-half of this
license fee as regularly charged.
Federal enactment gives power to
sheriffs of all counties Monday to make
arrests of all who have not taken out
licenses by August 1. This federal
ennetment gives the usual days of
grace, but requires active particularity
in the speed laws. Sheriffs are requir
ed to put on speed cops if this be deem
ed necessary and share fifty-fifty in the
emo'uments given by the federal en
actment.
This of course has nothing to do with
the state fee.
