NUTRITION CLINS Endorses Work That Has Beeo Done in Past Year Ny RICHARD €. PULLEN, M.D. (Supt, of Health Dept.) It seems timely at present o bring up the question of mutritien elinics These have been tried here in New | Britain during the past year and have ben sucessful, They are now being started for the present pear These olinies are formed for the purpose of correcting and bringing (o normal the undernourished ohild The frst question that arises now s what 18 the undernourished ehild and how distinguished from the rest of the children, This question can eas- ily be answered child s the child which falls below the average welght for a child of its age and height. The child 18 ploked ont from the rest, first by welght, All the children in & school mre welghed | and measured, They are then grouped in accordance with a helght welght table which has been ob tained by weighing and measuring thousands of normal children, the children who are seven per cent or more below the standard called undernourished. This method of grouping the chil- dren is often questioned. Mothers ask, why, it my child is naturally very small should it be called under- nourished because it welghs less than other children who are naturally large? Or, why should my child weigh as much as other children when both its mother and father are naturally very small? Or, again, My child is much too tall for her age and #o why shouldn’t she be a little un- derweight because she has grown tall so fast? The answer to all these questions is this. The table which is used to determine undernourished children takes all these things into consideration and allows for them. It is now natural to ask, why is the child undernourished. To answer this one must consider two great groups of causes. First, physical de- fects. These may vary from minor things like adenolds to serious diseases of the heart. Until these physical defects are corrected the child is not to be considered free to galn. The second great group of causes may be called the habit group. In this group come all the forces which affect the child’s daily life; Its habits of eating, its exercise, its habits of rest its social activities and so on. Now then, why all this fuss about the undernourished child? The great outstanding reason is this; the under- nourished chifd i85 not starting life with & fair chance. It is beipg forced to start on a long race with a great handicap. Tt does not have the strength and reserve force to fight against the strain and struggle of modern life,. The undernourished child is without power to fight against the many diseases to which it is subject. wonderful pep and vitality which go far to make life enjoyable and healthy. It s physically unflt. Physically unfit! Think what that means. And physical unfitness is a serious matter in this country. In the examinations made on men of army age during the great war one in every three was physically unfit. Why? Surely it is only fair to sup- pose that the reason some of these men were unfit was because they had not been properly cared for when they were children and had been started off in the world with a handi- cap., And it is certainly true that if 93% of the 134 car builders who use Willard Batteries have always used them—and Willard has always been the outstanding choice of the car manufac- | Simmons Storage | Battery Co. 167 ARCH STRELL PHONE 2245 We Clean Everything Under the Sun General Housecleaning | | A Specialty CLEANI 538 Main § The undernourished | Al are | It does not have that| | one vesches the werking age with a handicap of poor health, he never has time 1o correct his loss thea, Neot in this busy age.
