Body I Cared-For. Washington. May 8. That school children who are taught in fresh air class' rooms advance more rapidly in their studies and make greater im provement in weight and strength than children in regular class rooms, is a conclusion demonstrated by Frank H. Mann, of New York, before the Sociological Section of The National Association for the Study and Pre vention of Tuberculosis this after noon. The speaker reported ' on a series of experiments carried on Jointly by the New York Committee on the Prevention of Tuberculosis and , the Board of ' Education : in which 1 three groups of children were studied to note the effect of fresh Bfr Upon them. In one group, the children were, placed in fresh air classes and were fed during school hours wth milk and crackers "morning and af ternoon; in the second group, the children were placed in fresh air classes but were not fed and in the third group, the children were left in the ordinary class room under regular conditions. Every effort was made to illiminate or equalize in the comparison such variable factors as age, home conditions, physical condi. tions, school conditions, nativity, etc, The two groups of children in the fresh air classes were all under nourished and anaemic at admission. : : The results of this experiment ex. tending from September to June, showed that all of the poorly nourish ed and anaemic children in the fresh air classes gained in weight, red cor- pusels in the blood, general nutrition, and physical tone. The gains were made for the most part independently of the home environment and of the financial conditions of the children's family, suggesting that the associa. tion between poverty and malnutri tion in school children is not so close as has been commonly assumed, and that cases of extreme poverty with lack of necessary food at home are not nearly so prevalent as has been frequently stated. It was also dem onstrated that, even without, school feeding, fresh air classes can be run with advantage to the children of poor families, although the greatest benefit was obtained where extra feeding of children was employed. "All lines of tuberculosis activity lead more or less directly back to the great truth that most of the implan. tations of this disease occur in child' hood," was the declaration of Dr. William Charles White, of Pittsburg, another speaker this afternoon, in arguing that all movements for the betterment of children should center in the anti-tuberculosis organization Dr. White pointed out that anything which anti-tuberculosis societies did for the welfare of the child was a di rect contribution to the prevention of tuberculosis. Dr. John B. Hawes, 2nd, secretary' of the Massachusetts Trustees of Hospitals for Consump tives, Boston, declared that direct in fection of children by their parents or other members of the family who have tuberculosis is very largely re sponsible for the spread of the dis ease. A large percentage of original infection of tuberculosis, Dr. Hawes contended occurs in childhood. Child Cross? Feverish? Sick? A cross, peevish, listless child, with coated tongue, pale, doesn't sleep; eats sometimes very little, then again ra venously; stomach sour; breath fetid; pains in stomach, with diarrhea; grinds teeth while asleep, and starts up with terror all suggest a Worm Killer something that expels worms, and almost every child has them. Kickapoo Worm Killer is needed. Get a box to-day. Start at once. You won't have to coax, as Kickapoo Worm Killer is a candy confection. Expels the worms, the cause of your child's trouble. 25c, at your druggist. " Lost in La Grande. .
