To show you what this means, & descripâ€" tion of a malnourished child will picâ€" ture it in your minds. Nature meant a child to be a hapDpYy und healthy young animal. A walâ€" nourished child could never be characâ€" terized by this statement, for he lacks the qualities to make him happy and healthful. He is usually thin, and his skin is either pale and delicate or is sallow or pasty in appearance. He has dark circles under his eyes, his hair is rough, his skin is loose: and his flesh and muscles are flabby and useless. This lack of tone in his musâ€" ;;-t' ces allows his shoulders to slump wel until he is round shouldered almost to _;, the point of having "wings." His gd chest is flat and narrow. Decayed .. teeth and diseased tonsils and adet" w olds may also be present. | cht Such a child is likely to be listless, wi] and does not care to play and romp A Yike other children. He tires easily cp, and may be considered lazy. There, / wil be a lack of mental vigor also. sh The power of concentration and attenâ€" s#le tion, and a child‘s natural curiosity ro and menta)} alertness, are absent. His T expression is dull, he is irritable and af bard to manage. _ Nervousness and in restlessness will be evident and he or WIl be "finicky" about his food. es There are many degrees of malnuâ€" fr @ritionâ€"from the very severe Cases hi where al} these symptoms are evident| ce to the cases where only one or two c wiH be noticed.

With the|} abundance of food on the farms this} gondition is unnecessary and is genâ€" C eraily due to indifference on the part of the parents. With so much agitaâ€"[! tion toward the bettering of theset! conditions, the mothers will need to ,| be the generals in charge of the camâ€"| paign to secure a strong and sturdy | generation. 1 ‘ The most important cause of this condition is improper diet, and not so much insufficient food or unsuitâ€" wbie food. The first requirement of w growing child is food. The diet! should be a generous one, properly'i prepared and correctly divided for, the three meals. Each meal should| #urnish an adequate amount for that time of day, for if the child eats no breakfast and little Tunch, and a large supper, the body can not take cars of this overabundance st one time and the food does no good, leaving the â€" body undernourished. A child should not be allowed to eat large amounts . of sweets or highly seasoned foods, . nor to eat between meals, to stay up . Jate, nor to sleep in an unventilated toom; any or all of theso will result. t a "finicky" appetite and the taking of too little food. | To be well nourished a child must have each day, protein to build up his body. This is necessary to enable his muscles to develop normailly and to, Keep his internal organs in condition.! Animal protein found in milk, eggs and meat are more valuable for growth than those found in cereals and vegetables. A child should have at least a pint of milk a day and three pints would be better. It is not exâ€" pected that the child should drink all this mill Serve it to him in cream What Do You Feed Your Children? Mincral matter is also needed. It: Builds bone and teeth, makes red blood, and keeps the body proceues’. in good condition. Milk, vegetables.‘ #ruits, whole cereals and egg yolks are particularly rich in minerals, Milk is the most valuable source of lime which strengtbens the bones and teath. & f There are C ertain MAIDA M. JOHNSON. grow quantity and sft ing gkm?l!fill called ME. £POOPERRCCTCCCC ing elements called "vitamines" which are absolutely essential to the develâ€"] opment of the hody. One of these is% found in all natural foodstuffs and in : a properly varied diet will not be} lacking. Another, not so common, but | which is just as necessary, is found in‘ milk, fat, ege yo‘k, glandular organs,, and leaves of plants. Still another is found in oranges, tomatoes, ca'b‘bage,! spinach and milk. All these must be| included in the diet to insure normalk growth. The ecntinued lack of these, causes serious nervous trouble; in se-} _ vere cases, blindness and scurvy. ‘ |_ After providing proper and properâ€" y ty prepared food, the next thing is to ; se that the meals are regular and . unburried, with no eating between â€" meals. d slsn h ScaKe When a chiid is examl schools, his height and _ taken and from the _cbatts schools, his height and weight are; taken and from the charts which give‘, the proper . weights for certain heights, it is determined whether or not he is underweight. If he is underâ€" weight a special record is kept, he is given particular attention and is urgâ€" ed to do and eat what is good for him, and his improvement is noted earh .week. It is surprising how anxious & child will be to do the things which .0 1040 id 0t ul o is t dn e will bring him up to normal condition. | , A table giving the correct weights for _ certain heights will be found here. | The child who is underweight | should have from nine to ten hours‘. sleep every night in a wellâ€"ventilated room, the windows being wide open.‘ There should be exercise and play, after school hours, instead of reading, in the house. The child should drink,| or get in some form, a quart of milk’i every day. Welâ€"cooked cereals and! fruit make the proper breakfast !or‘ him. Cereals cooked in milk are exâ€" cellent, increasing the food value. The common breakfast of pancakes andI syrup is lacking in most growth esâ€" sentials and will prove harmful if} \eaten every day. A variety of \'ege-I : tables is also necessary in the diet,\ | along with a moderate amount of | meat. _ Have some vegetable other | than potatoes every meal; tomatoes ti are especially good for children. Eggs, â€"| cheese dishes and fish add variety and .\.‘glve the necessary protein. Candy 1 1 . PRERCTEIRT 07 21 dn is on ts Nes in + d should not be eaten between meals. Tea or coffee are forl_vidden, and rich pastries and cakes should be given very seldom. Milk and cocoa, fruit, custards, gelatin, and simple pudâ€" dings are all advised. It is not well to try to change all food habits at once. Make it a conâ€" test for him. Have him see whether he can drink a glass of milk every day for a week, avoiding tea or coffee. If he succeeds a good habit is formed and the improvement he makes froml week to week will reward him. Keepi on in this way until all bad foodi habits are changed to good ones. Comâ€" plete relaxation for ten or fifteen minâ€" utes before meals will do much to put a child‘s body in readiness to assimilâ€" ate his food. Diseased tonsils and adenoids also help to bring about a subnormal conâ€" dition. They obstruct the passage to the lungs, preventing a sufficient amâ€" ount of oxygen from reaching these organs, so that they become diseased. The poisons from these diseased organs spread throughout the body. Bad teeth may be the result of malâ€" nutrition, or they may cause mainuâ€" trition by preventing proper masticaâ€" tion of the food. Poverty, ignorance, and lack of parâ€" ental control are underlying causes of malnutrition. Poverty is not of so much importance, for many children from rich homes are found to be subâ€" normal, The other reasons seem mote plausible. Have you not seen parents giving their children food they shouldn‘t have, just because the chilâ€" dren cried for it? The malnourished child tends to beâ€"| come weak and incapable of resisting | disease. â€"Stunted growth, anaemia, nervousness, irritability and diminishâ€" ed cnergy are the sure effects of | faulty nutrition. These effects follow| the child into manhood and make him| unfitted to do his part in the worl-d.\ He is an incfficient man, with few chances for guccess in life. The unfitâ€" ness of such a large proportion of the \ men called to take part in the recent\ war was due to improper care in | ehildhood. ‘ If you have a child who has these symptomsâ€"and watch carefully, for at first they may not be glaringly noticeableâ€"first find the cause by careful study of the child‘s methods of living and then work to remove the cause.
