Charles M. DeForest crusader execu
tive at the former organization’s head
quarters hen*.
“There are now crusadeis in every
state in the Union,” Mr. DeForest
said. “The health creed of the crusade
has become a part of the school pro
gram in thousands of schools, both ru
rnl and urban. It has also caused in
novations in the curricula of parochial
and private schools.”
Among the larger cities where the
movement has been adopted in all or
part of the elementary schools, he
said, are Daltimoro, Kirmingh am,
Cleveland. Dallas. Indianapolis, Kan
sas City. Minneapolis, Newark , New
Orleans, New York, Philadelphia, Pro
videncea Portland (Ore), Seattle and
Washington. D. C. While primarily in
tended for elementary grades the ciu
sade has been taken up by a number
of high schools and in some states the
>ysten is being taught also to sDiden
teachers in normal schools.
Knlistment in the movement in
volves something like passing a physi
cal examination, as the recruit must
for at least two weeks follow a daily
health program. The child who lives
up to 7f» percent of the crusadei V.
health rules for two, five, ten and fif
teen weeks becomes successively a
|uige. squire, knight and knight baner
ret in health chivalry. In health tour
naments participated in by whole
classes and schools the crusaders vfo
"a’jouscing for germs/’
The health “chores,” performance
of which each child is put on his honor
to record on a special card overhis
own signature , are as follows:
"I washed my hands before each
meal today: I washed not only my
face but my oars and neck and 1 clean
ed my finger nails today; I tried today
to keep fingers, pencils anil every
thing that might be unclean out of my
mouth and nose; 1 drank a glass of
•.atei before each meal and before go
ing to bod, and drank no tea, coffeo
or oth«*r injurious drinks today; I
brushed my teeth thoroughly in th •.
morning and in the evening today; 1
took ten oi a cre slow deep breath t
of fresh air today; I played outdoors,
or with windows open, more, than
thirty minutes toda/; I was in bed ten
hours or more last night and kept my
windows open; I tried today to sit un
and stand straight, to eat slowly, and
to attend to toilet and each need oi
mv body at its regular time; I tried
today to keep neat and cheerful con
stantly and to be helpful to others; 1
took a full bath on each day of the
week that is checked.”
The success of the movement, ac
cording to its leaders, is due to the
interest in health aroused in the child
ren by introducing the elements of
play and romance in the practice ot
hygiene, and by definite program with
tangible rewards. So eagerly have the
children in certain sections of the
country taken to the daily “chore”
idea that a toothbrush shortage is re
ported in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Ic
wa and Oklahoma.
Growth of the movement is indicat
ed by membership figures from state*
leading in the crusade movement,
follows; Texas, 810,000; Minnesota,
250,000; Iowa, 220,000; Oklahoma,
175,000; Oregon, 55,000; Idaho, 24,557;
Utah, 82,000 ; Kansas, 100,000; Ar
kansas. 28,000; Alabama, 56,000; Wis
consin, 197,000; Pennsylvania, 150,000
Maryland, 48,000; South Carolina 27.
600; District of Columbia, 15,000;
Rhode Island, 28.000; and New Hamp
shire, 5,000.
The Health Crusade Movement is
not confined to America alone; not
withstanding the war the idea has
spread to foreign countries and enlist
ments have been reported from Chinn,
Corea, Canada, Cuba and France. Mr.
De Forest said.

R. EL SHANKLIN
planning on touring the territory. He
is agent for about ten popular maga
zines for which he is soliciting sub
scriptions. He was discharged from
the army with 50 per cent disability
pension and until he has recovered is
doing as light work as possible. Hav
ing a desire to see the “frozen north”
he took this opportunity of doing so
and declares he likes it fine.
He was first located at Camp Lewis
with the infantry and later transferr
ed from the depot brigade to the ar
tillery and sent to Fort Stevens, Or.
Shortly after his arrival there, how
ever. his knee was dislocated in the
line of duty and in the meantime his
company left for France. After he was
discharged from the hospital he wa>
made night fireman for the wards at
the hospital during the influenza ep
idemic there, fortunately escaping
himself. Spinal meningitis was also
prevalent and caused quite a number
of deaths.
A sad incident occurred during his
stay there. While an extra guard was
being put through the formalities of
going on watch , another guard who
was being relieved, unloaded his rifle
and it went off. The bullet glanced
from the cement sidewalk and a piece
entered the extra guard’s throat, cut
ting the jugular vein. The blood spout
ed over everything and the hoy died
in about five minutes. He was s<>
strong, however, that he walked into
the guard house.
