Declaring that food quack ery is a law enforcement prob lem, Mr. Jannsen said that while many best-selling food products have excellent labels that comply with the law in every respect, there is a host of products that are, in effect, being misbranded by false in formation that, does not ap- 1 Mrs. Alice Leopold, head of the Woman's Bureau of the U.S. Department of Labor, says that there are 11 million married women holding out side jobs. Most of them also have children. Close to three millioh have youngsters under six years of age., Nearly five million have school age chil dren only, from six to 17 years. Her On Business . The subject of working mothers and juvenile crime came up recently when Mrs. Leopold was in New York on business. . It was before last week's shocking series of ' juvenile crimes in which four persons were killed. "Sometimes I think we are preoccupied with the sensa tional," Mrs. Leopold said at the time, "Ninety-seven per cent of our , youth is non criminal." ' "Bift to analyze the causes for the other three per cent. Well, most authorities agree there are dozens of them . . . income, housing, locale, new nationalities moving into a neighborhood . . . "The fact that the mother is working is way down the line. I-have talked with many thoughtful people on this with psychologists, welfare and social workers, clergy. None blames her." ' Often Batter Mother Mrs. Leopold said that often the working mother is a better mother, because she is an or ganizer, a planner. She may be more careful of her chil dren than the non-worker. . "My own opinion is that the prime reason for delinquency lies in parental immaturity," she said. "Now how you get parents to grow up, I don't know. "The immature parent often rejects the child, whether consciously or unconsciously. This lack of acceptance is going to lead to trouble."

He urged consumers to be ware of: "Shotgun vitamin formulas, . loaded formulas, 'natural', and 'organic' foods, miracle' foods, r educing products, majl order products, doorbell 'doctors', , cholesterol and heart disease cure-alls and certain popular books on nu trition". He emphasized need for more consumer question ing and analyzing of magic claims for foods; urged or ganizations and food field agencies to do a better job of anti-quack information. Method Explained The food and drug adminis tration spokesman said that misleading pro nyt t i o n of "food supplements" ' as cure alls is commonly carried on in two different ways: "One method is by so-called "health food lecturers" who claim with revival meeting zeal di rectly or by inference that the products they are promoting are of value in preventing or curing disease, when in fact they are ineffective for'such purposes. A -second and wide spread method is by door-to-door selling by agents who prescribe high ..- priced food supplements for any disease or condition which an ailing customer may mention. Mr, Jannsen' further de bunked the myth that all dis eases are due to faulty diet; the myth that soil depletion causes malnutrition, the myth of overprocessing and the myth of subclinical deficien cies. Copies of "Food Facts Vs. Food Fallacies" are avail able on request addressed to the Government Printing Office, Washington, D. C. Nutrition authorities agree that the normal American diet now includes such a variety of foods that most persons can hardly fail to have an ample supply of the essential food constituents. Advice of a com petent physician, is needed to identify vitamin or mineral deficiencies and to prescribe their proper treatment.

Survey Indicates Children Wearing Ill-Fitting Shoes New York-One out of every three American children will be " going bick to . school in September in shoes., that do, not fit them, according, to a just-completed survey by a national consumer organiza tion. ' ' . Vv . The survey, made last spring in a New England city and a nearby rural commun ity, showed that some of the children were wearing shoes as much as 2 V2 sizes too small. A large number of the chil dren were wearing shoes from one-half to two sizes too short. The consumer organiz: ation reports that the . jijost universal cause of foot ; de fects are ill-fitting shoes, not ing that a . recent check of schoolchildren in 39 states in dicated more than half of the primary school pupils and 79 per cent of the high school students had some Mhd of foot trouble. .Dr. Benejamin Kauth, di rector of the American Foot Care institute, commenting on the report, urged American mothers to "make the opening of the new school year, an oc casion to protect: the" foot health of your . youngsters. When you buy your child new shoes for the new term, check that there is sufficient grow ing room in the length and width of the shoe before you allow him to walk out of the store," the prominent pedia- trist cautioned. The first step in getting a proper fit, Dr. Kauth noted, is to select footwear made of material which holds its shape. In "this connection, he pointed out that "the canvas and rubber sneakers in which our children, teenagers and even collegians spend too much of their time cannot be fitted properly. v . . 4 . - New Compounds Without shrinking or crack ing, new modeling compound dries to the finish and consis tency of wood.
