EXPERT WARNS OF MALNUTRITION
Grace Abbott
In Appeal to
Mothers

Malnutrition is b e min G
widespread in the United States
and every effort of public anC
private agencies must be bent
to turn the tide in the othel
direction, according to Mis-!
Grace Abbott, chief Of the Chill
dren's Bureau Of the U. s. De
partment Of Labor.
In a statement, issued today
Miss Abbott says:
eve are now living through
the fourth year Of the de-
preston. This means that
May Day this year finds
those who have at heart the
welfare Of Americas young
generation face to face with
the urgent problem Of safe
guarding children from the
cumulative effects Of this
lengthening period Of eco
nOmiC distress.
Ch1ld-hea1th work, like vir-
tually all work for health,
education and social welfare,
must today be considered i'm
terms Of q national emer-
gency. In the past we have
been able to dedicate May
Day to the promotion of bet
ter standards Of child health.
This year we are confronted
with the grave necessity Of
holding fast to some stand"
ard which will save our boys
and girls from being perma-
nently affected by the lower
ing of living standards which
accompanies any long period
Of unemployment. with
more than a million families
dependent upon relief, there
is presented to us the danger
Of malnutritiOn which re-
duceS resistance to disease
at the very time that re-
sources for combating disease
are being limited by reduc-
tiOns Of funds for health
work.
"Our campaign this year
must, therefore, be q defen-
sive campaign, waged ON .
dual front. First of all, we
must fight to the end that
our children may be ade-
quately nOuriShed. We know
that malnutritiOn h a al
ready become evident among
children in many places and
that while many of its ef-
fectS may not be Immediately
apparent, if sufficiently pro
lOnged and widespread il
will reduce resistance to dis
ease, not necessarily this year,
but in the future. Secondly,
we must fight to maintain
our health services from
budget cuts which will further
jeOpardize tn cir efficiency
during this critical time"

Need
Supplied By
Foods

II the child is to be healthy
and develop normally, he must
be supplied with certain essen
tial food elements called vita
minis. Milk is rich in vitamin
A, but other foods must be
given to the child if he is to
get enough of the other vita
Minis.
Vitamin A helps the child to
grow normally and to resist
infections and prevents xeroph-
thalmia, an eye disease. Whole
milk and butter (nOt butter
subStitute) contain vitamin A
in abundance. Other good
sources are egg yolk, liver,
dark-green leafy vegetables,
and cod-liver oil.
Vitamin B Is generally be-
lieved to consist of two inde-
pendent vitaminS B1 Cor F.,
which prevents beriberi, and
BE- Cor g., which is said to
prevent pelagra. Vitamin 81
also helps normal growth and
stimulates appetite. Milk is a
fair source Of vitamin b, but
can not be depended upon to
supply enough. Vitamin Bl
occurs plentifully in vegetables
especially leafy vegetables
whole-grain cereals, and fruit.
Vitamin b. is more abundant
in milk than is B1.
Vitamin C prevents scurvy,
helps to build good teeth, and
helps normal growth. Milk
can not b. 'edepended upon to
supply enough vitamin C.
Cows milk especially can not
be depended upon, as the heat
ing necessary to make it safe
destroys much Of its vitamin
c. Foods rich in vitamin c
are: Raw fruits-especially
citrus fruits-and raw vege-
tables. Tomatoes, either raw
or canned, are rich in vitamin
c. If the child is to get
enough vitainin c, he should
be given orange juice, or to-
mato juice daily from his Sec
ond week on, and after he is
two years old he should be
given some raw fruit daily.
The child over two may have
also some raw vegetables, care
fully washed and chopped or
grated-lettuce, carrots, tur-
nlpS and cabbage.
Vitamin d. helps to build
bones and teeth and prevents
and cures ricketts,. Milk con-
tainS some vitamin ID, but not
enough. The chief food source
Of vitamin D is cod-nver oil.
Sunlight falling directly on
the skin produces vitamin D in
the body, and the child under
two needs cod-liver oil daily as
well as plenty Of sunlight in
order to escape ricketts,. Foods
and medicines that have been
irradiated with ultraviolet
light contain vitamin D, but
these should not be given to
children except on the advice
Of q doctor.

$4,000 IS SOUGHT
FOR DISTRICTS NEEDY
Commissioners Probably Will Sub
init Request to Federal Relief
Chief Tomorrow.

The District Commissioners probably
will forward tomorrow to Harry L. Hop
kins, administrator of the Federal emer-
gency relief fund. request for a grant
OF approximately $4,000 for care of
the Districts destitute families.
Such a sum would be a third Of the
amount of public funds expended by the
District for emergency relief during the
second quarter of 1888, as provided un-
der the Wagner-Lewis act. The District
received $4,000 from the Federal
fund on the basis of its relief expendi-
lures during January, February and
March.
Because Of the mounting costs Of car
ing for the Districts unemployed, due
in large measure to the exhaustion Of
funds Of local private agencies and to
Government economy programs, the
additional fund IS urgently needed, Dis
trict officials say.
Even If the second grant Is made. 1t
Is expected the Districts available
funds for relief will be used up early
next year, at present rate Of demands

tax surplus fund for needed, unemp!oy-
ment-giving highway Improvements was
forwarded yesterday afternoon to Lewis
w. Douglas, director of the Bureau of

In answer to the first request for

the Commissioners have emphasized
the special need for approval of three
items in the long list of projects.
One Of these is S575,0O0 to start work
on new structure to replace the old

by the Commissioners for mainto-

go without improvement for q long
period.
The third item believed to have been
urged particularly is that of S45 900 for
widening and repaving of Constitution
avenue from North Capitol to Second
streets.
The Commissioners. however, it is
understood. have again urged approval
of use Of the entire list costing 81 1900
