furnished to a certain extant by

free medical clinics bat ft is aston-
ishing how many children of wealthy
or telltodo parents are defective.
"Often we find that the biggest
percentage of underweight children
are from this class. We find it is
1-ecause they are apt to be more
' spoiled" or pampered than are the
children of poorer parents. They eat
what they wish with the result that
they are mal -nourished. It Is hard
to make their parents recognise this
condition bat it Is there neverthe-
less. "It is simply annaHine1 the results
we find as to diets given even very

Mias Nickerson said that subnor
mal children under seven years of
age were most apt to be eating the
wrong diets but .that as they grew
up in bcboqi pajniHau unecu men
as adenoids diseased tonsils aad de-

The work of the department Is
growing steadily as communities

Such work started in earnest when
th Mtrance of the United States

ling health conditions among tne
youth of the country. Such a large
percentage were pnysicaiiy auqna.ii-
fied that it was readily seen that
later generations must be improved
physically to save the country from
