Home Nursing Classes and Advanced School Children Benefit By De- partment of Health Movement The members of the Red_ Cross Home Nursing Classes and the Sen- ior pupils of the Public Schools were afforded an opportunity on Wednes- day to view an educational film de- picting the necessity for careful health habits and the reasons for giving the teeth proper care. These pictures were brought to the city through the co-operation of the Stratford Division of the Red Cross Society and the Stratford Den- tal Society with the Ontario De- partment of Health and were pre- sented by the department's repre- sentative, E. Jones, in the afternoon in the City Hall for the school chil- dren and in the Y.W.C.A., in the eve- ning for the benefit- of the Home Nursing classes. There were four titled, "Tommy Tucker's Tooth- ache," "Clara Cleans Her- Teeth," "Tiny Tim's Troublesome Tooth," and Milk Mischief." The story run- ning through the first three of these illustrated in no uncertain way the |need for caring for the teeth and | the far-reaching harm which results | from neglect, Three good reasons for ; proper teeth care are first, preven- | tion of toothache; second, to prevent | the impairing of health, and third | to improve appearance. ' The message conveyed made iit imperative that every person should |take a pride in himself, take pro- i per care of his health and view his | dentist as his best friend. | Simple rules of health were given which will assure good _ results: Careful selection of food; eating more fruit and vegetables; chewing all food well; brushing teeth regu- larly; visiting dentist at least once or twice a year. In the film on milk it was shown that all milk should be produced and kept under safe condition. in order to safeguard the health of children, Dr. J. A.
