DIGESTION RUINED.
DIET OF TEA AND STEAK. (Per Press Association.) HASTINGS, July 27. That attention should be given to the lives of young people from the time they left the hands of the Plunket Society until they were 19 or 20 was urged by Dr. Martin Tweed, of Wellington, medical adviser to the New Zealand Plunket Society, when addressing the biennial conference of the East Coast and Hawke’s Bay Provincial District to-day. He said that during the years of the gap future mothers and fathers lost tneiridigestion, nerves, health and teeth, and the society had to pick up the broken threads and start all over again. “The health of the father is just as important as the health of the mother,” he said. “We watch our babies’ health most carefully, and expose them to fresh air and sunshine and tone up their muscles with cold sponges, but as they grow up their digestions go to pieces on a diet of tea and fried steak. They are shut away from light and sun and fresh air, and cold sponges are few and far between.”
