MALNUTRITIONIS
SERIOUS PROBLEM
National Child Health Council
Discusses Causes,

At least twenty and according to
some estimates possibly thirty-three
per cent of the school children of the
United States are suffering from
malnutrition. as general physical un.
derdevelopment is commonly desig-
mated, says the advisory committee on
foods and nutrition of the National
Child Health Council in a report that
will soon he published by the United
States Public Health Service, which
cOoperated in it's preparation.
Malnutrition, continues the report,
is not confined to any one class or
race; in some cities it is apparently
as prevalent in the homes of the we'll
TODD than in those of persons of more
limited means. The condition is evi-
denced, not only by weight and
growth records but also by Hstlessness
lack of color, dullness, and sometimes
by restlessness and irritability.
It is due chiefly to physical defects
faulty habits, or environment. OF
physical defects the most common are
Instructions tadenoids, for instance
/ in the nose or throat, which interfere
with breathing; and decayed teeth
which breed germs and interfere with
chewing. " zen such defects are
remedicd many children will develop
normally.
Faulty food and health habits are
also important causes Of malnutrition.
They include too little food, the wrong
kind of food, and bad food habits.
whether due to ignorance, poverty, OF
lack of home discipline; and also
faulty posture in standing, sitting, or
walking, all Of which interfere with
the normal functioning Of important
organs of the body. Such habits can
be corrected by proper exercises
which. however, should be carefully
controlled as otherwise they may prove
harmful
Envjronmental conditions, which in
terfore with sufficient sleep. lack OF
fresh air. and even constant naggine
may cause acknowledgements and
their correction may result in re

HUMAN VICTIMS
HELD BIG GAME

LONDON, Feb. 24.-To become a
member of a certain exclusive sports
mems club in London one of the
requisites is that the applicant shall
have killed at least one of three speci-
mems of big game"
Some time ago a popular young fell
low, somewhat of the wealthy rolling
stone, applied for membership. 1t was
known that he had hunted big game
in Africa. Everything was going
along all right until it was discovered
that in his application blank he had
mentioned that while he had killed five
or six elephants and ten or so lions,
no other big wild animals had fallen
before his gun.
Think" said his proposers, you
must have killed something else be-
sides lions and elephants"
NO. he replied sadly. Buck and
Gland and all that sort Of thing, but
nothing else you could call big game -
But unless you have" they pro-
tested sorrowfully, you won't be
elected
For a few moments he thought
deeply. II say" he asked, brighten
ing, "once killed a man; would that
count as big gamer"
He received his answer a week or
so later in the shape of a nice, new
clean, white card admitting him to
membership in the club.

Mr.. Beardsley has not been
sufficiently interested to attend any
Ct the directors meetings and now
because he favors Il gasoline tax and
the board Of directors are against it
he seeks to embarrass the associa-
ton in the hopes Of helping to put
over the tax.
Mr.. Beardsley recently resigned as
a director. His dues expired Jan. /.
and he is not now a member Had he
called on me in a friendly manner and
asked for information he could have
had it, but since he chooses to hire
an attorney and auditor and march
blusteringly into the Office to take
possession he will have to go through
such channels az our legal counsel
may direct, so far as am concerned.
We have put out no literature that
is unfair or untruthful and so far as
funds are concerned we have used no
money but our own"

Girl Is Worried Because
Home Lacks FURNISHINGS

MO wonder men accuse
l = women of being incon-
sistent. We complain because
many men pay little attention to
beautiful clothes and beautifully
furnished homes, and, at the
same time, we worry because we
can not have new dresses for
every occasion and have to take
men into rather shabby homes.
The truth is that most men notice
the general effect in appearance, not
the details, If a girl looks pretty. he
does not notice that her clothes are
out of style. If a house looks
honey" he never notices anything
else.
