IRELAND A Code for Child Health While the industrial codes we read about may come and go, be popular or unpopular, a code for child health will always be a requisite of success ful parenthood. Let us review the ele- ments out of which such a code should be made. I believe most parents would list first: the quart of milk daily, taken in different forms; two or more vegetables, with at least one the green leafy variety daily; some fresh fruit; meat, fish and eggs; and bread and butter. The amount of sleep is impor tant; restful, quiet sleep. The young child should have an after- noon rest in addition. Fresh air and sunshine must be in the health budget in liberal allotments. And the diminished sunshine of winter calls for one of the fish liver oils as a regular item in the code. Be sure that the child’s right to , playtime is honored. Let nothing interfere with this natural heri tage. Permit some time every day when the child may do as he pleases. Consider seriously the an nual health examination by your | : family physician and dentist. In sure against smallpox and diph theria. There are the routine daily health habits such as cleanliness and elimination to be added to the code. Fina'ly do everything pos- sible to bring happiness to the child and to make him feel secure and safe. Give him companion- ship; laugh with him; encourage his confidences. Next week Dr. Ireland will write about Health Protection. Miss Sylvia Shutter was a guest of Helen Jendrzejewski Thursday evening. Mr. and Mrs. S.
