Free Milk
 Aids Pupils
Thousands of Bottles Dis- tributed to Children in
 Local Schools

It Is recess time in the grammar and parcchial schools of the city. A few minutes ago the 10:15 bell had rung and throngs of kiddies had filed their orderly ways through the various exits to the school play grounds. Soon. joyous shouts are heard and games of wide variety are started. But not all the children are playing. A ing on straws from half pint bot
 ties filled with A No l milk. Most of the children were presented the bottles free. Others had paid for them. The milk drinking program is the result of the School Milk Fund, of which Dr Michael C. Don- ovan, superintendent of schools is secretary and Health Officer pr F. J. Godfrey is treasurer.
 Tho records are kept by those in charge of the school milk fund show that during one week of the school year, 21,732 bottles were distributed among the children. That is a record week, but 1t Is safe to say that more than 15,000 bottles are consumed by the chil- dren during each week.
 This very humanitarian work WAS ockuU uhEAHk tut NtGh VI wv vember 20, 1880 and has contin- ued since. It came about as re- suit of a careful survey made by
 principals, teachers and nurses
 which showed that large percent
 age of school children were un-
 dernourished and in need of sus- tenance. A plan was evolved
 whereby those children who could not afford to buy milk would be
 supplied and those who could af-
 ford 1t would receive 1t at a nomin- al price. Then the task of raising
 sufficient funds to carry on this
 work was confronted by the work CTS. A school milk fund was estab-
 iished with Dr Donovan as secre- tary and pr Godfrey as treasurer. pr Donovan wrote personal let ters to those whom he thought would be willing to donate to the fund. Several associations and so- cieties also gave donations. The total amount of cash realized through these various channels amounted to $13,644.62 the first year. The directors of the fund feel 1t necessary to have at least
 $10.000 each year to carry on the work.
 The milk is distributed in the schools by the teachers to whom are given the names of the chill idren who cannot afford to pay for the milk. The teachers get this in- formation from nurses of the health department who make in- vestigations in the homes of the school children.
 The milk with straws for each bottle is furnished by three milk companies. R. F. Worden and Sons A. H. Merriman and Sons. and the Phillips Dairy. The milk is offered Ito the schools at a very low price by these companies.

OVER EATING
 REQUIRES STUDY


 The matter of a child's appetite often is a perplexing one for mothers. And difficult as 1t is to get q child to eat, the question of the child who eats too much sometimes is the most troublesome.
 Overweight is to be avoided as much as underweight. There are children who eat too much if not watched. Others who satisfy their appetites on some special food they like, neglecting other foods that are necessary to their welfare.
 Extreme overweight in Q child who never. seems able to get enough to eat, sometimes is not the child'sf fault. There may be some organic difficulty that only a physician can cure. Likewise, in many cases of abnormal appetites, nature will correct the cause as the child grows older.

Much. if not all, tuberculosis begins in childhood and nearly every one becomes infected with the germs of the disease before he reaches the age of 21. Compara- lively few children or adults, how ever, develop the disease.
 Most persons escape tuberculosis because few germs intermittently enter the body. A healthy body will successfully combat the germs. wall them off, and prevent their further spread through the body. If the germs are relatively few and the body remains sufficiently resist ant. --unfavorablert after effects occur. E
 Occasionally the dosage of germs Is so great. or their virplence is so great, or resistance is 50 lowered, that the body is unable to cope with the infection and the germs spread to the lungs or other or- gans and cause disease which, If not discovered early and properly treated, results fatally.

Before writing about the care of children's eyes, it is of utmost in- portance to emphasize. two diseases that have caused more poor vision. suffering, destruction, and even loss of one or both eyes. These two diseases are gonorrhea and syphilis, and are transmitted from the parents to the infant. If either parent suspects or knows he or she has one of the above diseases they should consult and tell their phy- sician, 50 he can treat the expect ant mother, according to the mod- srn methods to prevent probably U horrible condition to the new: born sbaby's eyes.

 Gonorrhea is not an inherited disease but is transmitted from mother to child during birth, this
 
 percentage of blindness until pre- ventive medicine became known, and since that time 1t has been greatly reduced. In a good many states there is a law that requires the attending physician to use the preventive measure in all cases he delivers. This preventive measure is very simple. ( It consists of ir- rigating and washing both eyes with Q four per cent solution of boric acid, and then, one or two drops of a one percent silver nt- trate dropped. in each eye.
 After the first day the attending nurse should wash both eyes daily, using clean sterile cotton dipped In boric solution, teaspoonful of boric powder dissolved in water glass of previously boiled water gives about the right proportion. The usual normal infant requires no other care. If on the second or third day nurse or mother notices Q discharge or swelling of lids she should notify the attending physi- clan at once.
 Babies should be placed in Q moderately dark room to sleep as protection to the eyes. As baby grows older and begins to play in crib, mother should not encourage babe to play with toys too close to the eyes as all babies are born rather far sighted and close objects have a tendency to draw the eyes Inward, and in time may cause a weakness of one of these muscles resulting In permanent turning in of one eye. Mother should exam- Inc her own baby's eyes early in childhood in regard to whether they are straight or one turned in or outward. This condition is very practically blind in later life.

The major issue before the

Mills praise the Hoover recon

great stretches of unoccupied

"The defeat of the depres-

other issues fade into inSignifi-

After linking Democratic "in-
