Health In the Gristle

Owing 10 the number of draft reflections
due TO physical defects traceable to NAL
nutrition in childhood, the United States
Public Health Service advocates, through
Secretary McAdoo. a national campaign
OF Federal, state, county and municipal
authorities for safeguarding the health Of
school children. The practical application
or THIS campaign is the development Of
plans for providing the children at noon
day with warm, properly balanced meals
This IS not an academic issue in New
York City. There is now pending a pro-
posed ordinance for the establishment
under the Board of Education of a Bureau
of School Feeding. 1t is proposed that
the city shall take over the plant and
equipment operated by the private or
ganization which has been furnishing
school lunches III a number Of the public
schools The central kitchen and part
Of the equipment are now owned by the
city. which at various times has made GER
tain appropriations toward operating eX-
penses. The plan is that all equipment
not municipality owned shall be made over
to the city, which shall operate the present
facilities and extend them as opportunity
arises. The lunches are not to be a
charity affair. 1t is planned to have the
city pay the operating charges and sell
the lunches at cost
As to the need for such an extension
Of health preservative work by the city
figures speak cloquently The Bureau of
= \
has been making a study of the general
subject of nalnutrition. A survey Of all
the children in Manhattan schools dis
closed the fact that only II per cent were
normal in this respect. In class ., the
"borderline cases." that is, those not en-
tirely well-nourished but not actually un-
dernourished, were a number amounting
to 81 per cent of the total. Those actually
undernourished and those so undernour
ished as to need immediate medical atten-
ton were nearly % per cent of the total.
In other boroughs previous data showed
that malnutrtion averaged higher
The dangerous phase of this appears in
the last figures. There is normal per-
centaee about 6-of undernourishment,
due to horcdity, disease and the like. The
amazing rise to % per cent has occurred
since the war began. In other words, the
war is actually hitting New Y ork City.
UnGernourishment exists as a result Of
war conditions, the increase in the cost
OF living, ignorance of proper foods to
substitute for those out Of the reach of
the workers pockets and the like. Fol
lowing this is bound to come trc-
mendous rise in the number Of cases OF
culosis-indeed. the health statistics
already show the beginning Of this.
To medical men to sociologists, the con-
ditions now apparent show that it is high
time for action. The health Of the future
generation. its working power, is the
wealth Of the community The health of
the future generation is being formed as
the child grows His value to the nation
depends on sound body and a clear mind.
They cannot grow out of an lifted, under
nourished, spindling youngstcr.
Other cities, both here and abroad, have
undertaken this work, to the great ad-
vantage of their children.

STOLEN CAR RECOVERED

When Otto Manderfeldn of the Town
Of Sigel intended to start for home Sun
day evening shortly after ten O'Clock,
after the Hofmeister band concert in
German Park he found out to his con-
sternation, that his Ford which he had
parked on Third North Street, opposite
the Park, was gone. He Immediately
notified the police and search was made
for the car which lasted until o'clock
in the morning. The Fair Grounds
were visited but nothing of the stolen
machine could be found. In the mean
time Mr.. Manderfeld had the Kretsch
Auto Co. take HIM and his family home,
almost convinced that the car was gone
for good. He did not feel so very good
about it because it meant loss of $500,
the car being practically new, as he had
purchased it but three weeks before.
While on the way to his farm Monday
morning, Ferdinand Crone noticed a
car standing in the Fair Grounds and i'm
mediately notified the police. Chief
Harmening went out there and found
the missing car there, sure enough. And
the peculiar part of it all was the cir
cumstance that the car was standing at
about the place where the police had been
hunting for it, the night before. Har-
mening is positive that the car was not
there when they were making a search
for it and is convinced that it was brought
there some time early in the morning.
He is of the opinion that it was taken
by Joy riders who went to dance or
some other doings during the night and
brought the car back in the morning.
He is also of the opinion that they pur-
chased gasoline somewhere while en-
route. He is hot on the trail of the fell
lows and is positive that he will run them
down and he expects to make an example
of them.

Sugar for Home Canning and
Preserving.

Under due execution of the certificate
below, permission may be obtained by
any person in your county to buy at one
time not to exceed twenty-five (25)
pounds of sugar for canning and pre-
serving purposes. You should instruct
all merchants in your county that under
no circumstances must sugar be sold in
larger quantities than five pounds to
city and ten pounds to country custom
ers without the execution of this certifi-
cate. Any violation of this rule, or
failure to have a certificate in writing
for each sale made for canning and pre-
serving purposes will be cause for de-
nying such merchant permission for the
sale of sugar in any quantity.
The certificate should be carefully
preserved by the merchant selling the
sugar, who should make record in a
book of the date, name of purchaser
and amount purchased, and at the end
of each week should be mailed to the
county food administrator. Any per-
son improperly using a certificate to
obtain sugar will be denied the right
to make any further purchases of that
commodity.

Blackleg Causes Big Loss.
Help Check 1t.

(By DR.. NJ. JACOB, State Veterinarian, }
Every county in the State has a cer-
tain percentage of losses among cattle
every year from Blackleg. Since these
losses occur principally during spring.
summer and early fall, it is essential
that our farmers take immediate steps
towards combating this disease, so as
to protect their cattle during the coming
year. The following facts and sugges-
tions are offered.
l, Blackleg is highly fatal infec-
tious disease of cattle.
2. 1t effects cattle as rule that are
from three months to three years of
age, although cattle uf any age may be
effected.
3. The disease is spread through the
distribution Of parts of carcasses from
cattle which have died of Blackleg.
4. Tennessee regulations require
that the carcasses of all animals dying
from Blackleg must be completely
burned
5 If Blackleg does or has appeared
in your community, vaccinate your cat
tie before turning them on pasture.
6. II you vaccinate your cattle be
sure to include those from three months
to three old and better still those of all
ages.
z. When using Pellet Powder vaccine
treatment should be given at least
twice year, and in badly infected
localities retreating in three or four
months is advisable.
8. The Liquid vaccine, including
BlsckIeg Filtrate, Aggressins, etc. are
preferable to the Pellet or Powder
forms. producing more lasting immunity
and will protect the animal at least
year,
9 Liquid Blackleg vaccines are given
under tue skin on the side of the neck
or behind the shoulder with a veteri-
nary hypodermic or the regular hog cho-
era virus syringe.
10. 1t is always best to keep sus.
ceptlble cattle off Of fields on which
Blackleg has occurred until twelve to
fourteen days after vaccination, so
that immunity may be established be-
fore The animal is exposed.
Show your true Americanism by help
ing to control and eradicate Blabcklee,
thereby increasing our food supply.

FurlOughs Of Troops for Farm Work

Form 1895, Provost Marshal Generals
Office together with Form 66. which
explains its use, may be obtained from
the Local Boards. Farmers whose sons
or hired men have already been called
to camp. and who wish them released
on furlough for farm work. should at
once secure . copy Of Form 1885, ex-
ecute it. and send II TO the commander
Of the camp where his son or hired
man is now located.
Ii should be noted that furloughs will
not be granted to men who have at
tanned q rank above that of first sar-
gesnt. that such furloughs will be for
short periods only and largely for seed
ing and harvest times; and all furloughed
men win be recalled when their regiment
is ordered overseas.
As wide publicity as possible, thru
the press and other wise, should be
given to these two matters st once, 90
that the farmers Of your county can do
what our Government expects Of them In
helping win the war. Very truly yours,
