SOLDIERS' DIET
I wi6h to refer to the interview with Hiss A. L. Loudon, president of the New Zealand Women's Food Value League, in regard to the food supplied to the men in camp. We have had experience lately of hundreds of these men being afflicted with influenza and now there is an outbreak of trench mouth, due in the first instance to faulty nutrition. I think Miss Loudon is to be congratulated for bringing the facts of the situation in regard to the soldiers' diet to the notice of your readers. I should like to see all women's organisations support the New Zealand Women's Food Value League and to urge upon the Government to put into practice the recommendations of the committee set up by the Government itself. Perhaps the New Zealand Women's Food Value League would convene a meeting of women's organisations and ali other* interested. CONSTANT READER.
