L GIVING CHILDREN Diet and Rest Carefully Watched Increase in Weight Noted for Nearly All More Room Available Is It tim to wash our 'avs now? The old adae that a boy hit water la not true anymore at least, not at the Medford Nursery School where both boys and girls are learning hab its of cleanliness, and seem o enjoy being able, even at the sg of tw to see that their faces and hiuds are clean and their hair well combed. At first, the children need assistance, but they soon took their turn at ' he wash bowls with gratifying results. Similarly the children like to do the other things they ant required to do, for everything Is so arrange that trc idea of compulsion Is submerged and the youngsters are made to think they are doing what they eut to do, rather than what they hat to do Duties thus become pleasure and everything In life Is play. Beldam are the words "don't o "must" used at ths nursery school. Even when their animal natures crop out and they fight over a toy, the adult referee uses diplomacy, Instead of force or scolding. Anocier toy or knlcknack Is Injected Into the melee; the contenders part and coon forget their differences. They learn how to get along. The Medford Nursery School was established In December under sup ervlslon of Mlsa Luclle Stoalfe, home economics graduate of Oregon fitat College, who has worked n several nursery schools In the state, coming here from flalem. The sch is con ducted every school day In rooms 17 and 10 of the Junior high tcho 1.

The children are from families whose parents have small incomes, or where mothers are employed and are unable to hire an attendant. Atten dance is now eighteen, but Mis Skalfe feels that this number will soon be Increased to tneliuls about 33. All are between a and 8 years of age.

Ac cessories to the play period nclud tables, chairs, boards, toa crayons and games, all given to the school by local people and organic tlonf. No funds for the purchase of equipment sre available; and while the aupp'$ of toya Is now adequate, owe, wouH be acceptable. The replacement of toya and cleaning up of the room come within the pale of fundamental training as they should receive In their homes. The circle period consist o a ngln. group games, and oonveroaMon by the children. They are tougt fca count, know colors, and eneourjM to re cite verses they know, or songs The rest period It preparatory t the lunch hour. Diets proscribed snd arranged by the Oregon 6tate college department of home economics are fed to the children. The menus vary, but call for vegetables, meav three times a week, eggs and all the milk the children care to drlnc. Each child, however, is allovei t first only one cup of milk. Then he must est sll or most of his food colore be can have any more milk. Ibis rule la enforced to prevent children from falling back on milk aa their sols diet. The meals are cooked by Mrs. Maguln and Mrs. Daley. Weight charts are kept, one for each child. The weight chart under the schedule In vogue at he school practically all show an avenge In crease In weight since the beginning of sttendsnce. With their stomachs full and bodies tired, It la not difficult to pursuadc the children to take their napi. though sometimes the older children aleep but lltttle. Nevertheless they rest. At the disposal of the supervisors is first aid equipment which serves to heal cuts and bruises. Mi's Bkalfe and Miss Hicks attend to all M e chil dren's wants, giving their fuil tin .a to the work. Also Important are th event.tg meetings once a month in wMrh par ents meet with ths supervisors and dlscu&i child problems as well as nursery school procedure The school endeavors at all times to cooperate with the parents and home In meet ing problems that arise In child training.

IS NEEDED TODAY B peaking at the Church of the Nazarena fiunday morning from the topic, "Ood's Armor for Conquest," Fred M. Weatherford. pastor-evangelist, drew the setting of bis mes sage from fpiieslaoa 4:10-19. In part, he aald: "It was a aucclnot aphorism from the weighed words of Calvin Coolldge tbat gava us the recipe for a re construction act, when he appealed to the nation, 'to turn to religion rather than law if it would find a cure for society's Ills.' "Those words sre not unlike those uttered by the Apostle Paul when, ba said: 'Finally, my brethren, be strong In the Lord and In the power of Hla might.' If we are to be strong In the Lord and In the power of His might, we must yield ourselves to that power for leadership and guidance. No Individual or nation in enjoy the guiding light of that Hand of Might without coming to It for Instruction. 'Know ye not to whom ye yield yourselves to obey. His aervsnts ye are, whom you obey; whether of sin unto death or or obedience unto righteousness.' "The only realm of defense Indi vidually, domestically, nationally or eternally. Is by 'putting on the wbole armor of God.' "Our greatest difficulty Is In going Into the bsttles of life without being spiritually clad. One of the trage dtea of the church today la that It naa gone Into battle only half clad spiritually, and In many Instances with less or no divine equipment. "By putting on the whole armor of Ood there goes the accompanying guarantee of ability to atand against the wllea of the devil. By so doing one receives the power of His might; It Is the bsptlsm of the Holy Ghost thst furnishes this equipment. 'Ye shsll receive power after that the Holy Ghost la come upon you.' This, If you please, is the Christian's breastplate of righteousness. It Is his protection against heart Invasion. Having taken such a stand for Christ and the reception of such equip ment. It will be difficult, not to say Impossible, for the devil to sgaln gain your affections.

TO DISCOVERY HI CORNELL ITHACA, N. T., April 3. (AP) Analysis by two Cornell research workers of sn "immune body" a chemical substance wa hailed to day as- another milestone In the long effort to provide man with Immu nity to disease. The Immune body was Isolated by Prof. James B. Bumner snd Stacy P. Howell of the Cornell Medical college to supply the medical pro fession with the first complete analy sis of one of the Immune or anti bodies which sometimes are pro duced In the body artificially by vaccination, sometimes occurring naturally. As a result of this first Isolation In pure crystalline form It may now be possible to gain greater Insight Into the nature of the Immunizing nature of the immunizing substances and ultimately reproduce some of them artificially. The aubstance Is a hemagglutinin, a chemical which In some unknown way causes red blood corpuscles to stick together. It Is a protein, form ing double wedge-shaped crystals. It comes frcm Jack beans. 4 BIRTHS Born to Rev. and Mrs. Ralph S. Peterson of Phoenix, a baby girl, weighing nine pounds, five ounces, yesterday at the Sacred Heart hos pital by caesarlan operation.

BE DOSE OF NITRATE Bscterial gummosls. ths moat seri ous disease of the sweet cherry tree, may be controlled by the application of the copper nitrate treatment at this time of season, state County Afent L. P. Wilcox. The copper nitrate method of treatment ae herein described, waa worked out by the California ex periment station and has been dem onstrated to be effective under southern Oregon conditions, snd is therefore recommended to Jackson county cherry growers. At this time of season gummosls cankers may be easily located be cause of their dark colored bark tis sue, somewhat sunken and near a gum area. Such cankers when found should be given the following treat ment. Make numerous longitudinal cute with the grain of the wood, through ths canker or diseased area. Such cuts to be deep enough to enter the sap wood be neath the bark tissue, and should extend some eight to ten Inches above and below the diseased area. Space the cuts about one Inch apart and make sufficient number so that- healthy tissue Is encoun tered on both sides of the canker After prepsrlng the canker In this manner, mop the entire surface with a copper nitrate solution, being sure that the liquid penetrates well Into the many cuts. A sponge may be used for this purpose with good re sults. The copper nitrate solution to be used Is made up as follows: Stir one ounce of copper carbonate Into two quarts of water, then add one and one-half ounces of concentrated nitric acid. When the solution be comes dear, add to one gallon of denatured alcohol. The solution should be prepared In glass or enam el ware containers and kept in bot tles tightly corked.
