SEES CIVIC HEALTH NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1927. 9 , I Diseases Directly Dependent on This Factor New York. Oct. :s ( VP) The effect of dp-lit upon public health was definc-rl in startling terms by lr. Thomas V. Wood, professor of public health at Columbia univer sity in an interview granted the I nited I'nss today. "Public health." Dr. Wood declar ed, "is directly determinable by the general correspondence of the weights of the individuals to scien tific standards of weight charts." Dr. Wood declared that a few excep tions would not affect the generaliz ation of his statement to any appre ciable degree. "Social disease, tu berculosis, consumption, cancer and a few other diseases are such suff ered by so few persons," lie said, "that the effect upon the, condition of general public health is practic ally negligible." Dr. Wood's statements were given in conjunction with an article which lie has written for a new volume called "Your Weight, and How to Control It." to be published tomor row. In elaborating his sttaement, iie said, "A slitht degree of over or under weight tor a person does not indicate that he. is not hrnlthv. it. nowf ver, uvi r weight is a. pre any section ur em found that, the ditions are lev,. crowded ti m in nt "-i-i'-t or nnder-il- condition in " unity it will be .:eral health con fer example, in districts it ill be loiind that most persons are decid edly under v eight. Jn such com munities, moreov r, tile general health is well U..r average. Ohes i'y. while it is not to be loutid gen erally in ar.y one group, is never theless wide, sperad and has a deli nite relation to the general public Leah I,." Dr. .od supported the state ments of oi in r professional men who.: articles at.ji.ar in the book by siating that weight reduction slltuled an actual menace. to the country. He cited example ot large groups of high sehunl girls between the ages of 12 and l who are to day foregoing luncheon or one of the other meals in their efforts to attain or maintain a "boyish" form. Such practices, he declares, are serv ing only to undermine the. general health nt the country, and seriously jeopardi.e these girls' future chances for motherhood.
