Pediatrics Helpful
 In Preventing Many
 Childhood Illnesses
Dr. J. H. Green Says Knowledge of Nutrition in Infants Shows Great Improvement Advocates Vac=

baby for frequent examinations to a physician scientifically trained in the prevention and treatment of diseases of children. A few decades ago, there were very few pediatri- clans and there was very little de- mand for them because the grand mother was considered the foun- tain of all knowledge in the art of bringing up the baby. Today, how ever, scientific pediatrics are &C., complaining a great deal in the prevention and treatment of the illnesses of childhood.
 A generation ago, the nutrition of children was certainly not nearly as thoroughly understood as it is today. In those days, just as at the present time, the adviSability in general, of nursing the baby was questioned. However, artificial feed- ing and the knowledge of nutrition in infants and children has been very markedly improved.
 Watch Environment!
 The preventive measures against the diseases of nutrition are now tCAy V4AONNfC. AAlCSS dloC6toCo O1 nutrition may range from simple moderate degrees of underweight to more serious conditions such as scurvy and rickets, which may leave lasting deformities. The causes of malnutrition may be found in the child, such as physical defects or infections, either acute or chronic. Or causes may be found in the environment, such as improper diet and faulty food habits, bad hygiene, lack of home control, fatigue, or even psychological causes. It is un- usual to find only single cause for malnutrition. Usually two or more factors are contributing and are sometimes inter-related. Pre- ventive measures against the dis eases of nutrition should include a well regulated diet containing the necessary mineral salts and vita mins, fresh air and sunshine, pro- per exercise and careful hygiene.
 The grandmother, with the best of intentions, attributed many of the diseases and disorders of the babies first two years of life to teething. Today we know that it is dangerous to attribute an infants illness to teething, and that many serious diseases may be neglected by that easy diagnosis.
 So called summer complaint" and the gastro-intestinal diseases have to a large extent been elimi- mated due to modern knowledge of the prevention of infection through milk and otherwise.
 Those diseases, which from the frequency and persistence of their attack upon childhood, have come to be called "children's diseases" have, unfortunately, not been elim- mated. However, there are adequate

munity during the early months of life. This is wise preventive pro- vision of nature, without which the human race would probably cease to exist.
 Acquired immunity to disease may come about in various ways: first, by having the disease; second, by the gradual resistance that Is built up as a result of many con- tacts with the germ or its toxin, in amounts that are not sufficient to cause the disease itself; or third, by protective inoculation.
 Heart disease in children can, to a large extent, be prevented. A few children are born with a sort of heart disease which is really a congenital deformity of the heart. It is fortunate that this is rare, since its cause is obscure, and little can be done to prevent it. However, in some mild cases, those suffering from congential heart disease may enjoy long and successful lives by living carefully. Prevention is most successful in the form of heart dis ease which is caused by infections or germs, such as rheumatic infec- ton, diptheria, scarlet fever and so forth. Rheumatic infection causes most of the heart disease of chil- dren. Pale thin children may be particularly subject to rheumatism. Frequent sore throats, so-called growing palms,, and irritability may lead one to suspect this dis ease. The child may even have painful joints or market nervous ness.
 Must Begin Early
 Prevention, the keynote of suc- cess, must begin early and, for tunately for the new generation, the modern mother is cooperating toward that goal.

NUTRITION PLAYS
 IMPORTANT PART
Services of Expert COn- sultant Made Available
 to Waterbury Public
By MARGARET A. KENNEDY
 v. N, A. NutritiOmist

The objective of a Nutrition Pro- gram is to maintain good health for the people in 8 community. This Is done in several ways; by teaching the selection of proper foods regardless of income to be eaten for the prevention of disease such as: food high in iron for the prevention of anemia; orange juice for prevention of sculrvy; cod liver oil for prevention of rickets; how and where to buy such foods for the best value on the limited in- come; how to cook these foods to get the most out of them; how to budget ones time and money.
 One NutritiOnist
 Tn Waterbury there is only one Nutritionist. She acts as consul tant to all the Social and Health agencies in the city. She attends all the Well Baby Conferences con- ducted by the Visiting Nurse Asso- citation. At these conferences she sits down with the Mothers and discusses the Nutrition problems and eating habits of the children since this is greater part of the Mothers problem with the young child.
 When MT. John, a diabetic, was discharged recently from the Hos. pital needing special foods and in. srlin which he was unable to buy, the Nutritionist worked with the Social worker regarding a recoln- mendation for the necessary al. lowance. The patient was referred to the Visiting Nurse Association to instruct his family in giving the insulin. After a consultation with the nurse, both the Nutritionist and the Nurse visited the home to- gether to go over the diet with the family-adjusting 1t as near as possible to the regular family rou- tine.
 At Chase Dispensary, the Nutri. tionist is g ConSultant to all the clinics and is in attendance at the Parental and Diabetic clinics. Budget Requests Request for budgeting ones pay are very frequent. These are car. ried out with the social worker, nurse or If there is no agencing working with the family with the family themselves.

measures for preventing some of them. We are able to produce in- munity against some of these dis eases by inocu)ation.
 A generation ago, many children Strangled to death from diphtheria and many others were left iIvalids. Today diptheria car be practically taken out of tie child's life. And it Is a very serious dcease indeed. We are possessed of the means for mastering diptncria. The causasive crganSm is known Immunity of long duration can be produced by inocuiation with toxoid. The pres ence or absence of immunity to dlptheria can be determined at any tire by the Scii1ck test urge hat all children be given the benefit of the administration of toxoid early in childhood. It rarely, if ever, causes even passing discomfort, and it definitely produces a lasting ac- tive immunity to diptheria.
 Antitoxin Emphasized
 Antitoxin is a specific remedy for diptheria if administered before it is too late. Antitoxlns are Of the utmost value to us because antitox- ins are the most specific, the most efficient, and the most powerful therapeutic agents known to med ical science.
 The principle of vaccination against smallpox is the same as when it was first discovered, more than a hundred years ago. However, modern methods have been greatly improved. Vaccination will defin- itely protect against smallpox. Uni- versal vaccination for one genera tion would wipe smallpox off the face of the globe.
 Whooping cough is a serious dis ease. Its modern treatment deserves and receives serious consideration But the chief object is to prevent the disease and the new methods of prevention are improving.
 Scarlet fever is now less freQuent and usually less severe than in former years. There are new methods of testing for susceptibil- ity to the disease and there are methods for immunization against it.
 During the previous generation, children were frequently kept in a dark, very warm, i'll ventilated room for the treatment of measles. Today we know that fresh air and plenty of fluids are necessary and that darkness and overheating are not desirable. Definite progress is being made in the prevention of measles.
 Vaccine Preventive
 Typhoid vaccine will prevent ty- phoid fever. It is not usually ad- ministered to children unless they may in some way be exposed to the disease.
 There are other methods of eff fectively inoculating children. We have several antitoxins, vaccineS and serums which may be used in the prevention and treatment of diseases of children.
 Immunity may be natural or ac- quired. Natural immunity consists in the infection-resisting power with which the individual is born. Most infants possess natural in-

there isn't anything the State can do
about it if the association, after get
ting a charter for "non-profit, chart
table" purposes should use every
penny that comes into it's Golfers for
purposes wholly disconnected with
charity.
In other words, the secretary said,
all that's necessary to charter a

to get three persons to make oath to
petition setting out that the pur-
pose of the association is "non-profit
and charitable"
Thereafter the corporation so form
