DRAFT REFLECTS
MAL-::NUTR R|TloN
IN. CHILDHOOD
Public Health Service Planning
to Safeguard Health Of
School Children.

WASHINGTON, Mar. 7.-Secretary
McAdOo announces that as a result
of studies by the United States Public
Health Service. of the causes for re-
jections for physical defects under
the selective draft law, it has been es-
tablished that mal-nutrition during
childhood is one of the avoidable
troubles.
The service is now considering a ma
tlonal program of cooperation with
state, county, and municipal health
authorities for the purpose of SAFE
guarding the health of school chill
dren. The Public Health Service has
been engaged for some years now in
collecting valuable data as to the
state of nutrition and mental and
physical health of school children.
In view of the increasing economic
stress occasioned by the war at least
one valuable means for enabling the
rising generation to pass unscathed
through this period consists in taking
steps to see that school children are
provided at. midday with a warm,
properly balanced meal.
VI vv1Eu 1IAuCllOOus
The value of the school luncheon
consisting of properly balanced arti-
cles of diet furnished to school chill
dren either at cost or somewhat below
:: cost, has long been recognized as a
valuable means for promoting healthy
growth and development. The rising
cost of living and lack Of general
! knowledge of healthfu1 substitutes for
valuable articles of food, which are
steadily becoming scarcer, empha-
sizes at this time the necessity for
making provision by health authori-
ties of hot, nutritious meals for school
children during the noon hour.
The Public Health Service, through
ing fashion the Importance of a, prop
erly balanced ration in childhood.
In certain orphan asylums of the
country, pellagra mysteriously made
its appearance, affecting large num-
ber of the inmates of an intermediate
age group, avoiding the younger and
the older children.
Orphan Asylum Case Cited.
The experts of the Public Health
Service on dietary diseases investiga-
ted the situation and found that both
the younger and the older orphans
received better diet than those in
the middle-age group, the former be-
cause of their. tender age, the latter
because they performed work around
the orphanage. L.
Arrangements were at once made
by the Public Health Service to sup
plement the diet Of the group Of chill
dren having pellagra, whereupon1 the
disease promptly disappeared.

ART TREASURES
Of Italy Are Being Preserved From Huns by Heroic
 Measures.

LONDON, Jan. 1.-The work of the Italian authorities in preserving ItaIv's art treasures against bombardment was described by Major Sir F. de Fill ippi in lecture before the Royal academy here recently.
 Italy has been fully alive to her responsibility for the art of which she is the guardian" said the lecturer, 'and has spared nothing in her en- deavor to protect her cities and their treasures. Tn Venetian, Lombardian and Tuscan towns I saw whole build ings wrapped up. Outdoor monuments are often completely enclosed in what look like big dog kennels In many cases new masonry has been put in to strengthen historic structures, and elaborate systems of drainage have been installed to further reinforce the natural strength of the buildings
 Bags of seaweed, vey light and elastic, have been extensively and sue cessfu1ly used in Venice for St. Marks and other buildings. Bronzes, pie lures and small monuments have been removed in colossal packing cases and taken to places of security. The build ings themselves have been sandbag ged without and within, and every monument or architectural master piece separately shrouded,
 Venice has presented a difficult problem because of the soft soil on which it is built, making heavy pro- lection often impossible. One of the

During that half hour the tobacconists' shops present about the same appearance as did the coal and wood yards during the fuel fam inc last winter It takes from three to half dozen policemen for each shop to keep waiting smokers orderly while the weekly supply is being dealt out, and to pacify those that are still in line when the mo more tobacco" sign is hung out

BRITISH SAILORS.
Show Liberality in Bidding for Dead Comrades
 Effects.

LONDON, Jan. 17.-Dead mems ef- fleets are sold at auction on the ships deck by an old custom in the British navy. Prices out of all proportion to the value of goods are often real ized for the mans heirs, especially if the late owner was popular with his shipmates
 Purely personal belongings, such as letters and photographs, are first taken out to be forwarded to the de- ceased's relatives. Then, as soon as official sanction is obtained, the rest of the articles are taken to a conven- tent part of the ship and offered for sale. The master-at-arms acts as auc- tioneer.
 Bidders who have obtained the small articles from such an auction some time throw back their purchases for resale until as many Jackies as feel inclined have had a chance of contrib uting something towards the assis- tance of the dead mans next-of-kin. Thus these kit sales become the lower decks way of taking up a charitable collection.
 The kit of a deserter is similarly sold by auction, the proceeds going to the National treasury. But the whole outfit rarely fetches more than a few shillings, as many sailors regard the possession of articles formerly be. longing to a deserter as undesirable, if not unlucky.

from the shelves of the Milwaukee
public library This was decided by
the library directors late Friday, fol-
lowing a suggestion from the Wiscon-

e. McLenegan states that there are
few if any books in the library that
are unpatriotic, but that all doubtful
volumes will be gone over and if any
thing in them is found Objectionable
they will be discarded Similar action
was taken in Baraboo some weeks

eminent took action, they would have
