WARNING ON NUTS

>| Danger To Young Children I I (Special Crspdt. N.Z.P.A.) SYDNEY, Nov. 22. i Doctors at the Royal Alexandra Hospital for children, Sydney, have warned parents not to give nuts to ' children under the age of five this Christmas. One doctor said: “Nuts can ' easily slip into the respiratory ’ tract and stop the youngster breathing. 1 “With Christmas coining soon we realise there will be plates of nuts in many homes. Every year this hospital treats many youngsters with nuts jammed in their windpipes and bronchial tubes.” The doctor said that peanuts were the worst offender and added: “Nuts should be kept well out of the reach of small children.” THINKING OF A HOLIDAY?
