Malnutrition at any time is unâ€" economic, in times of national danger such as that through which we are passing, it is perilous. It is heartening to know that the C.W.S. proposes to obâ€" tain the services of competent speakers on this vital subject, and explore all «venues in making available to the citizens of this district a thorough knowledge of the potent benefits of proper nutrition. ‘This work, if it can be successfully started would be work well worth continuing at the «1ose of hostiliâ€" 4 its choice of prizes which are to be offered at its carnival next month.
