Many people are not i'm sympa-

think that nothing can be done with

can do a great deal with only that

little underfed children. So I think
the milk alone is worth while.
Education Of the parents, how
ever, has a great deal to do with
the well being Of the child. The
school nurses visit the homes when
ever it is deemed advisable, and in
vestigate cOnd tons there. Some
times things are found i'm a deplor-

give the mothers explicit instruc-
