Nutrition.— Dissemination of knowledge and instruction on matters affecting
nutrition is part of the Council's general scheme of health propaganda, q.v.
As part of the Council's scheme for Health Propaganda, cookery demonstration
classes were arranged at the Tuberculosis Dispensary for the instruction of the wives
and mothers of the tuberculous in the buying and cooking of simple, cheap and
nutritious articles of food and the preparation of suitable dishes. These classes
were well attended. The scheme is more fully reported on in the Health Propaganda
Section.
By-laws.—The power was given to the London County Council in the General
Powers Act, 1932, to make by-laws with regard to food premises. Draft by-laws
have been prepared by that Council and have been considered by the Metropolitan
Borough Councils, who have submitted observations thereon, but there the matter
rests at present.
