@ May 22, 1926 WINNETKA TALK 25 Undernourishment Biggest Failing Among Children "in 1925, more tnan 130,000 Chicago schoo: coudren were exanuned by tne Chicago WLepartment of Health, of wiicu number over 30,000 were sui- tering trom undernourisnment as a re- sult ot poor tood or teeding, 1s the statement of Dr. Herman N. Bunde- sen, commissioner of health, in his latest bulletin. "It is astomishing, at this advanced age of general health knowledge, that there should be so large a number of children with disturbed nutrition or undernourishment. "This condition of undernourishment is a sort of starving, not due to lack of food; but to the constant use of the wrong kind of food or the ina- bility of the child's body to make use of the food eaten because of not enough fresh air, sleep, or play in the sunshine," is the opinion of Dr. Bun- desen. "Physical defects, such as diseased tonsils and bad teeth, affect the eating of the child. Parents use every de- vice to safeguard their children from fire or accidents, but when it comes to so important a matter as food and nourishment, the lack of knowledge of proper diet or carelessness is shown by the figures quoted above. Malnu- trition reduces the protective powers to disease: it lowers efficiency and often results in lingering misery. "The right kind of food for children is within the reach of all. Green, leafy vegetables; fruits; meats; eggs; bread and butter, and above all, milk-- pure fresh milk--in abundance have the necessarv food elements, plus vit- amins, which are so necessary to life and health."
