MALNUTRITION
T is rather strange that we as
a rule can so quickly recog
nize underfed or malnour
ished stock or crops and yet
are so slow to recognize mal
nourished children. But it is actual
ly true that many of us never do
realize when a child is not getting
the food its system needs. We are
Bp accustomed to seeing stunted chil
dren that instead of making any
comment when we see an under
nourished child we make much com
ment, when we see one who looks
well-fed, healthy and robust. It
would seem that the normal child is
abnormal because it is the exception
while the abnormal child is normal
because it is the rule.
A well nourished child is one who
not only measures up to standard of
height and weight tor his age, but
he must have a good color, bright
eyes without dark circles under them,
smooth glossy hair, lively skin and
firm muscle. His carriage must be
good, his step elastic and his disposi
tion bouyant. He is lull of life and
constantly active both mentally and
physically. His .°!eep is sound, his
digestion and appetite good. He is
not “flniky” about his food, blit nat
urally craves the things that furnish
building material for his growing
body. He has a soul but physically
he is exactly the same as any other
young, healthy, well-nourished ani
mal.
The malnourished child lacks
many and perhaps all of these char
acteristics. His height and weight
are less than they should be for his
age, he has a poor color, is sallow,
muddy or even “pasty” in appear
ance, there are dark circles under the
eyes and the inside of the lids as well
as the lips and gums are pale and
bloodless, his hair is rough and dry,
his tongue coated and bow'els often
constipated. The skin is harsh and
dry, the muscles soft and flabby. He
often appears to be lazy because he
does not have sufficient energy to en
joy activity.
It is just as unusual for a healthy
child to appear lazy as for a healthy
kitten, puppy or colt.
The healthy child may try to avoid
doing some kinds of irksome work,
but he will be doing something for
he can’t keep still except when
asleep.
If your child shows any of this last
group of symptoms there is some
thing wrong which should be cor
rected. If you do not know what the
trouble is ask some one who does
know and keep on asking till you
find out.
Nature compels the child to de
pend On older persons for food and
protection. The older persons, not
the children themselves, are respon
sible for every stunted and seeming
ly lazy child. The correction of de
fects and proper food are the inalien
able rights of every child.
Animal Fossil Bones
in National Museum
Two new mastodons and a new
glyptodont, the fossil bones of which
were found in rocks in Arizona, are-
described in a report issued by the
United States geological survey.
Several years ago numerous verte
brate fossils were .discovered in San
Pedro valley near Benson, Ariz.,,
by Kirk Bryan. Later J. W. Gid-
ley of the National museum co-op
erated with Bryan in making a
large collection of these fossils.
.'\mong the large animals in this
fauna are two elephant-like masto
dons and a peculiar armored mam
mal, a glyptodont, related to the
modem armadillo. The skeleton of
one of the mastodons has been
mounted after the restoration pf
the missing parts and fomis a strik
ing exhibit in the National museum
at Washington. The total length of
the mounted skeleton is about four
teen feet. A very effective mount has
also been made of the glyptodont by
using parts of three individuals. Its
huge carapace, which resembles a
turtle shell, is over five feet long.

Bad Color
(liver trouble)
"OCCASIONALLY I am trou-
bled with spells of consti
pation and inactive liver,” says
Mrs. John L. Pence, Broadway,
Va. "I always use Thedford’s
Black-Draught when I feel a spell
of this kind coining on, for it
saves me a bad headache. My
color gets sallow at times. I get
real yellow, showing that the tro
uble comes from the liver.
"I have found Black-Draught to
be the finest kind of a remedy
for this. I take Black-Draught
and make a tea out of it, and take
it, along in small doses for sever
al days. I have never foimd any
thing that served me so well.
"Since I have known about
Black-Draught, I have not suffer
ed nearly so much with head
ache, caused from indigestion. I)
I find my tongue is coated, and
I wake up witii a bad taste in
my mouth, I know I have been
eating indiscreetly, and I imme
diately resort to Kack-Draught
to straighten me out.”
