HEALTHY CHILDREN
 IS AIM OF NURSES
Daily Statement of Interest to Moth CTS Issued at Visiting Nurse
 ASsOciatiOn Office.

The Visiting Nurse association, which is Waging a campaign in the interest of child welfare, issues the following statement of malnutrition:
 "Malnutrition is a definite depar- ture from health which should be recognized as much as tuberculosis. It has certain definite causes and definite after effects. An adult may be underfed for a long time without any serious result, but the child who suffers from serious malnNtrition may never be so strong and capable as he might have been. Malnutrition is something which in the great majority of cases is preventable and curable. It's detection requires no expert medical knowledge or careful microscopic examinations The weight of the child and his gain usually tell the story.
 "The malnourished child is always underweight One may class every child who is as much as 70 per cent. underweight for his height as an undernourished child. Such children are usually pale, anaemic, inattentive, listless in their studies, and disinclined to run and play. They are easily fatigued, both mentally and physical ly, and are offend retarded in their school work. The malnourished child is peculiarly susceptible to disease, he is always catching whatever disease happens to be making the rounds. His muscles are soft and Happy.
 'In September all the New Britain children who have shown improve ment in their general condition and good attendance from the time of registration July ? to August 31 will be given a health button. The one making the greatest gain will be given a money prize.
