CLUBS FOR WOMEN WORKERS. MID multi-million dollar drives of one kind or another now in progress, New Yorkers should not overlook the campaign the New York Teague of Women Workers is making this month for a modest $100,000. This particular $100,000 is to be spent in adding to the number ef clubs for women workers—there are already eight with completely equipped club houses in and near New York City—in broadening the opportunities for recreation, entertainment and instruction which women members enjoy for dues of only 25 cents a month, and in enlarging the League’s vacation camps on Long Island, Staten Island and near Peekskill, N. Y., where a thousand working girls were last gummer given real two and three weeks’ vacations, besides chances for week-end rest. The New York League of Women Workers, which is affiliated with ‘the National League of Women Workers, stands on a platform of non-sectarianism, self-government and self-support in organizing elubs that provide women who work with places where they can enjoy and improve themselves, physically and mentally, in their free hours. Thirty-five hundred New York girls are already members of these glubs. The field of future usefulness for the League must be plain ‘to any one who is not blind to the steadily increasing numbers in ‘which women are entering industry, There are not 60 many demands upon the prosperous in this Preat community that they cannot well afford to boost the New York Teague of Women Workers ahead $100,000. eo a ‘That barrage on the Republican treaty blockers in the " United States Senate only BEGINS today.

G4 MotherandChild Charlotte C.west MD. ARASMUS usually means slow starvation brought about by improper methods of feeding. A new-born baby may thrive on the bottle for a few weeks, then suddenly begin to lose weight progressively; it becomes irritable, may always appear hungry or lose its appetite entirely. It may vomit a portion of each feed- ing, and its stools still look unhealthy. Gradually its extremities become cold and mottled or blotchy looking. The child ceases to grow and presents a most unsatisfactory appearance. Marasmus is not confined to the poor and to overcrowded, unhygienic city districts. It may occur in any walk of life, especially in its milder forms, when through ignorance, care- lessness or lack of intelligent interest children are persistently given food they are absolutely unable to digest. Mothers are frequently heard to pro- test, saying they procure the best for their babies and still they do not artificial foods of one kind or another, Children with weak digestions who are nursed may get along fairly well until they are weaned, when the change from the breast to heavier foods breaks them down. If fresh cow's milk cannot be ase similated, it should under no circume stances be given. The cereal waters with other hygienic measures usually prepare the child's digestive appa- ratus for the management of heavier foods. Gruel Diet Is Best. Among these cereals malted grue3 is excellent. It 1s made by adding a tablespoonful cf malt extract to one pint of gruel, In a few minutes the gruel will become thin from the con= version of starch into ma@twee As everything depends on the feedings, the preparation of gruel is most im- ‘portant, Select the cereal with cares! it must be of first quality, For oat- meal gruel use four tablespoonfuls of rolled outs; one half teaspoonful of salt, one of sugar and four cupfuls of boiling water, Place all in a double boiler and cook for three hours.

Drugs will be given the little sufferer, while the food which is causing all the) mischief will be continued. In the ad- vanced stages of this condition it may be impossible to distinguish between @ case that began as uncomplicated starvation and one of consumption especially when the latter disease has also been contracted, as may occul In true marasmus, the children bi come extremely aenemic, bloodless, and the body 1s always cold; usually the temperature ig below body heat (98,6 degrees F.) because there is so little blood and go little oxidation go- ing on that there is no heat given cout; emaciation is extreme, and the face looks old and wrinkled.
