CATHERINE CONRAD EDWARDS Auodote Editor. Parnate* Mag—fao NOTHING SHORT OF “TOTAL HEALTH” We are being told by our gov ernment that one way women can help in the war is to look after the health of their families. This is excellent advice and we urg3 you to send for the splendid ma terial on feeding the family prop erly, and on general child care which is published by the U. S. children’s bureau. There’s that wonderful “best seller,” “Infant Care’’ to be had for 10 cents. Next in popularity is “The Child From One to Six”; his care and train ing, 15 cents. “Well-Nourished Children,” free. “Home Play and Play Equipment for the Pre school Child,” 10 cents. “Good Posture in the Little Child,” five cents. This includes games that help to develop good posture habits. "Guiding the Adolescent,” 10 cents. Address your orders to Children’s Bureau, U. S. Depart ment of Labor, Washington, D. C. In grandmother’s day the gen eral conception of health for chil dren was to get them through the winter without a serious case of croup, diphtheria or pneumonia. They could sneeze and sniffle and cough for months but so long as they could get out of bed she took frequent colds for granted. We no longer accept the mere absence of illness, or even this borderline between ailing and feeling well, as normal health. Moreover, we think of health as total well-being. A cross person, for instance, no matter what his chest expansion, is not enjoying all the health he is capable of. An awkward person who spills food and knocks over small pieces of furniture, or who drives an automobile erratically, is not as healthy as he could be for his head and his body don’t work to gether well. In other words, max imum health means a sound, well-adjusted mind in a sound body. But if standards have been raised so has our knowledge in creased of how to achieve this positive conception of health. We know now what constitutes a well-balanced diet. We know that exercise has its place but that it’s not the whole road to fitness. We know the ravages a troubled mind can make on an otherwise sound body. We know that a mind with out purpose doesn’t sparkle with health and that selfish living isn’t healthy either. We know that lei sure should be not only a time for fun but that there should be mental stimulation as well. That occupations for the hands are valuable for mental health and that a spell of nice, old-fashioned loafing is a good thing now and then too. For what we’re finding out at last is that health balance isn’t gained by going to extremes in any one type of personal care. In other words, don’t pursue germs with fanatic zeal and fail to do something about childish worries. Don’t concentrate on vitamins and fail to make meal time pleasant for the whole fam ily. Don’t work to develop muscles and neglect to foster a sense of humor.
