Open That | Door For | Your Boy i By MRS. MAX WEST Child Expert of the United States Children’s Bureau. (Written for the United Press) Thin arms and legs, putty colored ‘skin and listless manner in a child | usually indicate that he needs to have the door opened for him. He needs to play in the sunshine. He ought to have some pets,—chick- ets, or pigeons or rabbits; he should have a gardén plot and tools all his own, with some one to show him how to use them. He should have a swing, {a teeter board, a sand pile, a ladder ; to climb, if there are no trees avail- able, He shuld play out summer and win- ter, in the rain and in the snow, if he wants to. He is starving for fresh air and exercise and if you will open the door to him you will do more for him than any doctor in the land could ido. His appetite will come up. You must give him plenty of good food to eat, and let him sleep till he wakes, put his bed out on the porch if there is one, and if not perhaps you can have one built. Give him a good bath all over with warm water and soap at least twice a week, and a rub-down every morn- ing with a towel wrung as dry as you can make it out of cold water, If you do these things for a year, you won’t know him for the same boy.
