CHILD NUTRITION
MAIN PROBLEM NOW
BEFORE PEOPLE
Diseased Organs Interfere With
Nutrition. Too Little Sleep and
Over-Fatigue Grave Causes With
Little Children.

Some of the definite or concrete
causes and diseases that interfere
with nutrition and its correction
are decayed teeth and diseased
gums. diseased tonsils and adenoids,
hookworm and malaria. Poor sight
and hearing also have their bear
ing because of the added nervous
strain they may give the system.
The condition of the teeth par
ticularly needs to be emphasized In
relation to nutrition because with
ont good teeth there can be no
thorough mastication; without
thorough mastication there cannot
be perfect digestion; without per-
feet digestion there cannot be
proper assimilation; without proper
assimilation there cannot be nut
rition, and without nutrition there
cannot be health"
Too little sleep and overfatigue
are grave causes not only with lit
tie children but especially with
adolescence and early adult life.
Other frequent causes are too much
stimulation and emotional excite
ment and entertainment and over
work and worry in school; the
drinking of tea. coffee and other
StimulentS, boiling the food, eat
ing between meals, doing without
meal, especially breakfast; eat
ing candy and trash, and even not
getting sufficient food. as well as
"A lamentable lack of the use of
whole sweet milk, leaf vegetables
and we'll cooked cereals
Practically all tuberculosis in
fection takes place in youth. If
the child is kept in a proper state
of nutrition there need be but little
occasion for fear. There is no
better treatment for tuberculosis
than rest, fresh air, and good feed
ing. The recovery of thousands
under this regime attests its value.
There is little doubt that bad living
conditions and especially adherence
to diet of poor quality, lowers
the vitality and renders people
susceptible to the disease. and is
in IA great measure responsible for
its widespread occurrence.
When all the people understand
and appreciate the principles of
nutrition and live accordingly many
of the present health problems will
be solved, and there will be a re-
markable reduction in all other dis
eases and the world will be a
happier place in which to live.
