A BOY who is not tall as he wants
"A TO be- and who has not grown for
three years, although he is only 10 years
old. wants to know II there is any possI-
biIity that he will or can grow taller; and
II there is, what he can do to help on the
process?
Osborne and Mendel have recently studied
the possibilities of causing a resumption
of arrested growth. They took young white
rats and stopped their growth by changing
their food In some growth was stopped
by feeding insufficient food. In others the
food given was not of a quality which pro-
notes growth. After these animals had
been thoroughly runted and had been kept
there for long time-that is, long time
IN the growing life of a rat-feeding them
properly caused them to grow to full size.
A rat usually attains It's growth within the
first 800 days of life. One of their stunted
rats resumed growth and grew until he was
$50 days old.
Some of their conclusions are as follows:
1T is reasonable to ask whether the ca
pacity TO grow can ever be lost unless 1t is
exercised" They found that animals in
whom growth had been arrested when fed
right and given chance to grow grew rap
idly until they reached their growth. This
was true regardless of the size and age OF
tha animals when growth was stopped or
how long it had been stopped In some cases
the renewed growth was more rapid than
the normal growth They concluded that
the stunting from insufficient food i'm
proper food can be wholly overcome.
The foods best suited TO produce growth
were good fresh milk, butter, eggs, meat
and bread. vegetables and fruit, These foods
rank IN value in the order named. Funk
and MacCallum say that proteiHs, carbo-
hydrates, fats and salts are necessary for
growth, and that, in addition, certain ac-
cessory substances, one water soluble and
one fat soluble, are necessary Yeast and
butter on bread, meat and sugars will slim
uIate growth but good fresh milk Is best
OF all.
Now, what does this mean? II means
that when growth has been stopped because
or lack of food or poor food proper food will
cause 1t to resume. And that is all that it
means. II boy has stopped growing from
any other cause, change IN food, In quality
or in quantity, will not cause him to begin
growing again. If a boy stops growing at 5
feet inches because some ancestor was
short he cannot change his food and there
BY increase his stature. And 1t Is Inherit
anee that determines stature in most cases
The ancestor that the boy takes after may
not be as father or mother. 1t may be a
or perhaps even great grand
parent. There Is not much that a boy can
d. 70 increase his height who stops growing
because It is In his stock for him to stop. |

sir and eat abundantly He should eat |
plenty OF good fresh milk and butter and |

Now that everybodys talking war and
it's scarcely possible for n body to have
bit of feminine gossip without preparedness
buttng in. the entire sex feminine seems to
be smitten with a timely prediction for
khaki.
It had to come soon or late with the
Chevy Chase enthusiasts talking so supe-
rlorly of first laid work ambulance driving,
wrelessng and wigwagging, but It was
scarcely to be expected that the manufac-
turers could be prepared so competently to
meet the demand.

shirt and her trig khaki uniform. No Won

But now her inning has come, too. for
there are sport suits in khaki, with smart
military air about them to be had in every
size, and there are puttees too, not designed
for war purposes, however. but for boating

New to Northern Palates

A good old Southern dish-for breakfast,
dinner or luncheon--is bacon and apples.
Slice the bacon thin and fry 1t until it is
very crisp. Transfer it to a platter and
keep hot while you fry thick slices of sweet
unpeeled apples in the bacon fat. When
these are tender, lay them in the centre of
the hot platter. Lay the bacon around the
edge OF the platter, sprinkle powdered sugar
and bit of cinnamon over the apples and
serve with hot biscuits.

the cook can wash the pods and put them
unshelled on the fire in pot TO boil. The
heat causes the peas to split open, and the

TBy Associated f-ress.l

Washington. March is.-An official
prediction that the Panama Canal

passage Of the deep draft vessels was
announced last night by the war de-
partment.

A Triumph Of Engineering.
Major General Goethals. governor Of
the Canal Zone. is expected to reoffer
his resignation as soon as deep water
traffic is again moving through the
canal. He withdrew his resignation
when the earth slides set him a new
task. General Goethals was in Wash

was thought probable the governor
would not return to the Canal Zone
at all.
Colonel Harding will succeed Goe-

regarded as an engineering feat sec

Millions Of tons OF rock and earth

In the meantime the construction
work at the terminals and about the
locks has proceeded without pause
When the canal is reopened II will
