supply eggs and milk to tubercuIar
families Miss Mate German. en-
ployed by the health committee of
the Literary club, for a month last
spring, made survey OF the Grant.
Lincoln and Franklin schools rela-
tive to health conditions among the
children. From seventeen to twenty
eight per cent of the children were
found five to twenty-nine pounds un-
derweight. She recommended that
milk be taken at recess. Those pupils
who were weighed six weeks after
the milk diet had been adopted, had
gained two to four pounds in weight.
A large number of children whose
parents are city charges were found
to be many pounds underweight.
The work of the Anti-TubercuIosis
association is a splendid service and
the local health committee has done
much for Wausau by rendering the
assistance 1t has in the sale of seals.
No one should hesitate to buy these
seals and to contribute something on
