NUTRITION COUNCIL FORMED
TO AID SCHOOL CHILDREN

group of children and a class form
ed, it is necessary to find the causes
Of underweight, Causes of under
weight may arise from various
such as medical defects, ton
sis and ETC., lack of proper health
habits, for example, loss of sleep,
faulty food habits, example, eating
of meats and rich desserts rather
than vegetables and milk, and lack
of home control. A complete medi-
cal examination of all children found
to be under-nourished is essential in
conducting a nutrition class. Home
visiting and follow-up work among
the parents is also essential in nutri-
ton work.
After hearing Miss Duy's talk 1t
was decided to determine the per-
centage of underweight in Schools
Nos. Z and 8, then find some way of
raising a sufficient sum of money to
employ a nutrition worker and g.
medical examiner. Miss Duy spoke
Of the opportunity offered by the
New Jersey tuberculosis League for
training nutrition workers at its in
stitute in Newark conducted by DR..
w. r. P. Emerson from the 5th to
18th of March. Miss Duy suggested
that the persons who might be in
terested in attending the nutrition
institute would be school nurses,
physical directors. domestic science
teachers and kindergarten teachers.
The institute is conducted from 1 P.
NJ. to $50 P. NJ. in the afternoon,
thus giving an opportunity for per-
sons employed to keep in touch with
their work in the mornings.
Mr.. Letter as chairman of n ways
and means committee suggested that
some entertainment might be given
to finance sending some of the school
nurses or teachers } the institute.
1t was decided to hold the next meet
ing of the Perth Amboy Nutrition
Council on Friday, February %, at 4
P. NJ.
Providing permission is given by
the Board of Education, weighing
and measuring Of the children will
begin this week. Details are being
arranged by Mrs. Goldberger and the
Middlesex County tuberculosis
League who will give the time Of
their workers to assist the school
nurse.

Picturesque Indian names have be-
come very fashionable for summer
resorts and swell hunting lodges and
for nifty canoes and such things, but
among Indian girls they're not a bit
fashionable, Suzie Meek says.
Miss Meek is one of the national
board of the Young Women's Chris
tan Associations real I~ndian-born
secretaries.
She ranks as an authority on In
dian girls today.
"Sun-in-the-Eye" much prefers to
be known as Sadie Jones'" Her
schoolmate likes Carrie Smith" bet
ter than "Drowsy Water" So Miss
Meek states.
Her Paleface Friends
For instance, there's Iva Joseph
inc Rider, daughter of State Senator
T. L. Rider Of Oklahoma. Miss Rid
er Is a widely known concert singer,
one of the stars of the Boston Con-
servatory of Music. Her Cherokee
name is Atlae-Unkalunt, but very
few people outside the Cherokee
tribe know it. It's as Josie Rider
that she wants her paleface friends
of whom she has any number-to
know her.

A nutrition council composed of
the various welfare organizations in
Perth Amboy was called together
last week by Mrs. Leo Goldberger,
nutrition chairman of the Woman's
Club. Those present were M. R.
Letter, School No. 8, Mrs. Leo Gold
berger, Miss Alice Mihlice, Mrs. Cecil
Jones, Mrs. John Ware, Miss Smith,
DR.. William London, connected with
the nutrition council in the New
York Nursery and Child's Hospital;
Miss Borden. executive secretary
American Red Cross; DR.. Charles I.
Silk, president of the Middlesex
County tuberculosis League; Miss
Jane J. Packard, executive secretary
of the Middlesex County tuberculosis
League; Miss Marie Nielsen and Miss
Mae Blocker, nurses for the Middle
sex County Tuberculosis League. The
members of the Board of Education
signifed their interest but were IN
able to attend.
The organization voted to form a
federation known as the Perth AM
boy Nutrition Council and defined as
its purpose to promote the nutrition
of children in the city of Perth AM
boy. Mrs. Leo Goldberger was elect
ed chairman of the organizations;
secretary miss JdAS D. 0ShoA
treasurer, Miss Alice Mihlice. DR..
Silk and DR.. London were asked to
constitute a committee for the for
nation of a definite program. Mr..
Letter was made chairman of the
ways and means committee with
power to choose his own assistants.
Upon the motion of DR.. London it
was decided to obtain permission of
the Board of Education to weigh and
measure all the children in schools
Nos. 7 and 9 and determine the per-
centage of u~nderweight in these
schools.
Miss Lila Pauline Duy, nutrition
director for the New Jersey Tuber-
culosis League, was present and gave
an account Of the nutrition work
conducted in the schools of Newark
under the auspices Of the New Jersey
Tuberculosis League. She particu-
larly stressed the facts that the mere
weighing and measuring Of children
and the giving of milk was not nutr1-
ton work. After the percentage or

really loves her own peoples folk
songs best, but she wants to keep up
to the pace set by the city flapper.
What she needs most Is an op-
portunity to find herself-to gain
self-confidence.
"She seldom gets beyond the sixth
grade in echool-not from lack of
intelligence, but from lack of oppo--
tunity. She rarely acquires what we
call higher education. The govern
ment schools devote half of each day
to industrial work-cooking and sew
ing, for instance. So when the In
dian girl finishes her studies. while
we'll trained for homework, she's de-
ficient in the branches which give
poise, and reliance on her own social
accomplishments.
She'll Be Sorry
when she has attained greater
cultural development she'll regret
that her native heritage of music
and art has been lost or diverted"
Miss Meek shares with Ella De-
loria and Ruth Muskrat the distinc-
ton of being the only Indian girls
on the Y. w. C. A. staff. All three
are college educated and eager to
share with their own people the ad-
vantages they have profited by.

How To Prevent Wrinkles

HOW 10
Thin people are inclined to have
wrinkles and flabby skin.
To correct this, proper breathing
will help greatly.
Throw the shoulders back as far
as ,yod can and raise your arms to
your head, inhaling as you do so;
exhale as you lower the arms.
Do this morning and night, at
least ten times.
After your breathing exercises, ap-
ply a good tissue cream to the face,
patting gently into the skin and turn
your head from side to side as you
do so.
Starting at the shoulders, rub
gently UP toward the ears, manipI-
lating the muscles around, directly
under the ears.
This tightens the fine net work of
muscles under the chin.
At night, before retiring cleanse
the skin with a good cream, remove
it and then pat in the tissue cream.
Make q bandage or support for
neck and chin.
Apply a layer of real and leave
it on all night, so the pores may alb
sorb every particle OF nourishment
they can take.
In the morning use a cleansing
cream, remove and then apply an as
tringent.
After this, you can dust or a pow
der-one that is not too heavy.
T. . foods that you eat, If you are
thin, should be rich. Plenty of milk,
eggs, vegetables, fresh fruit and
cooked fruit are YER good.
Also drink plenty of water-six
or eight glasses of water a day, be
tween meals.
If you are very thin, substitute
for some of the water, good rich
milk.
Battle the body daily, but If your
face is very thin do not wash it
with water but use cleansing ream
