HOW TO BE HEALTHY AND WISE.

THE PROPER WAY TO DO IT. Congratulations are due to the Leicester Health Insurance Committee for the splendid management of its Health Week through the schools. The chairman of the committee, Dr Pratt, and the clerk, Mr Crew, sent a letter’ to the boys and girls of every school, summarising with plainness and force the chief ways of preserving good health. A special paper was circulated teeming with sound advice. A card of Ten Health Commandments was issued, and so vital arc they all that we hope they reached the hand of every child, and every inhabitant. A series of messages, caled Healthgrams, were also sent forth, of which this is a specimen:—

Deep Breathing.—We can over-eat, but wc canot over-breathe. Breathe deeply of God's great Out-of-Doors. which is all free. You can do without food for a time most wisely, but you cannot do without oxygen for a minute. The country is much healthier than it was, and it would soon be far more healthy still if every country would act with the intelligent energy of Leicestershire, and place the conditions of healthy, life plainly before young and old.
