.25 BOYS SHOW VALUE
OF SCIENTIFIC FEEDING
Thin, Pale Youngsters Made Strong
and Vigorous Through Proper
Rations-Social Plan.

New York. Feb. 6.-Twenty-five
New York schooiboys, pitiful victims
two weeks ago of malnutrition, are
living proofs today of what can be
accomplished with scientific food
scientifically administered.
Pale, sunken cheeks, hollow eyes,
thin bodies and thinner limbs are rap
idly disappearing. Instead. these
lads are now approaching the normal
young animal full of vim and life, and
their former pale. slender selves are
fading.
Social workers who are conducting
the experiment have learned a most
valued lesson--the mere suggestions
for living do not produce desired eff
fects. Practical demonstrations is
what counts
1t is evident that parents would not
buy their children nutritious foods on
the mere statement they were better
for them than bread coffee and maca-
roni. But when the boys are fed
scientifically and begin to show gain
the parents become interested.
The experiment, already success
lis to continue q month. Voices which
formerly were as 'puny" as their legs
and arms, now ring out with self-as-
sertion and aggressiveness.
