ONE OUT OF EVERY THREE
CHILDREN IN COLORADO
ARE UNDER-W WEIGHT
During Coming Year Colorado tuberculosis AS
sociation Plans To Continue Extensive
Investigations; Purchase of Christ
mas tuberculosis Seals Will Aid
This Great Work

That one out of everv three chil,1r"~
in Colorado is so under-weight as to
be malnourished may seem like a
startling statement, but this proper
tion has been found to be general
throughout the country, and the indi-
cations are that it is higher in Colo
RADIO. 1t is signal for mothers to get
busy. An erroneous impression is that
this condition of malnutrition is con-
fined to the poorer children, whereas
only per cent of it is due to actual
poverty. The percentage of malnutri-
ton frequently runs higher among
well-to-do children. Physical defects,
food and health habits are the chief
causes-too many movies and too
much candy and coffee.
The symptoms of malnutrition are
a serious, drawn expression of the
face, circles under the eyes, pallor of
the skin, and hair that looks dead"
flabby muscles and what is designated
as the fatigue posture" flat chest,
head set forward, round shoulders and
protruding shoulder blades. Ii your
child has these symptoms he is nom
resistant to illness and needs immedi-
ate and specific attention. Children
respond almost without exception to
simple hygienic treatment and to the
strong force in nature that makes for
recovery and in remarkably short
time return to health. Practically
100 per cent of malnourished children
can be brought back to health if in
telligent care, watchfulness and faith
fulness prevail in the home.
An under-nourished child should
drink a quart of milk day, eat plen-
ty of vegetables, fruits, cooked GER
eals and eggs. He should have mid
morning and mid-afternoon lunch and
should rest one-half hour before lun
cheon and dinner.
In view Of the fact that this is the
first year in four in which Colorado
has not had the highest death rate
rom tuberculosis of any state in the
Union, the condition Of our children is
significant.
Under-nourished children are par
ticularly susceptible to tuberculous IN
fection. Surrounded as they are with
this disease they have not the resist
ance to offset the infection. 1t is to
the building up of these children that
The Colorado tuberculosis Associ-
alton is pinning its hope to stay the
ravages of this disease which makes
such appalling inroads on civilization.
The Association knows that preventive
anti-tuberculosis work should begin
with children. Little children are the
root around which this evil clings.
