port.
The experiment has continued
through the summer-twonty-five
girls being III camp during July and
twenty-five boys during August.
Gains in weight recorded by the
children following their scientific
regime of proper food, carefully sup
ervised rest periods, recreation and
the general education in health
building habits, We're on the av-
erage far better than had been
hoped for by the executives of the
association This fact will be used
in the coming fall and winter as the
basis of education of parents of
growing children through Indian
apols and Marion County in better
ways to ward off disease in later life.
According to the executives Of the
camp, each one of the children Is
far better able to cope with the
rigors of the coming school year
than if they had rot had the health

Results at the camp should inn
press all parents with the possibi1-
ties of rebuilding health in the
home through the correction of
wrong food habits, provision for
sufficient sleep, elimination of child
excitement or child pleasures which
cause chronic fatigue, properly SUI
perVised exercise, together with
elimination Of physical defects.
Mary A. Meyers, executive secre-
tary of the tuberculosis association,
pointed out that the association car
ried on the experiment this year
primarily for the purpose of DEM
onStrating how undernourished chill

in the average home. She quoted
parts of a discussion of malnutri-

a part of the program of education
used by the childrens' bureau of
the United States Department of
Labor. This bulletin said, in part;
Food is the first requirement
of a child. If the food supply is. in

sumed to provide energy, and loss.
of weight will result. Therefore, the
diet of a child should be generous
in amount. If child eats an in
sufficient breakfast, such as bread
and coffee, he is practically sure
to eat too little total food for that
day. even though he may eat a good
dinner and a good supper.
