FOODS THAT CAUSE RlCKETs

Fat, Protein and Lime Salts in
Dietary, Says Doctor.

Beware of giving young children too
much pasteurlzed milk, proprietary
food, or even cereals. to the exclu-
sion of brown bread and butter,
stewed fruit or roasted apple, and a
little meat once u day." writes DR..
Beverley Robinson of New York In
giving warning note about ricketts, In
the New York Medical Journal.
He adds that he is considering
especially children two or three years
old, who are healthy and vigorous un-
less ricketts, develops unawares by
reason of faulty dietary" And he
quotes the following from Osler:
Like scurvy. ricketts, may be found
in the families of the wealthy under
perfect hygienic conditions. 1t is most
common in children fed on condensed
milk, the various proprietary foods,
cows milk and food rich in starches."
Ricketts, Is the cause of knock-knees
and bow legs. 1t is due to too little
animal fat and protein In the dietary,
together with too little lime salts.

De Sots's Romance.

Fernuhdo De Soto, the Spanish ex.
plorer, is associated with much of the
early history of this country. He is
best remembered as having been the
first European to look upon the MS
sissippl.
At an early age he fell In love with
the daughter Of his patron, Dom Pc
dro de Avila. To prevent the mar
riage, De Avila induced De Soto to
accompany him to America, where he
had been recently appointed governor
of Spanish possessions in the western
hemisphere. This was in 1919.
In 1927 De Soto served in the expe-
dition to Nicaragua under Fernandez,
and in 1923 he withdrew entirely from
the service of his patron. In 1887 he
returned to Spain and married Isa-
bella, who for more than fifteen years
had waited faithfully for him.

ORANGE Popular In Tropics.

In the tropics the orange is even
more appreciated than farther north
because of its wonderful thirst
quenching qualities, and the eating of
1t Is a more highly developed art. In
the Porto RIcan cities oranges are sold
on the streets by push-cart merchants
for a cent apiece. The vender deftly
peels each orange with sharp knife
in such a way that the outer yellow
skin is removed and u thin white coat
ing of uniform thickness remains, with
small hole at the top. So treated,
the orange may be sucked to the last
drop without the least danger that 1t
will break and soil the fingers; but 1t

and then galloped stihly off with tails
high arched. Law had many times un-
dertaken to break Bessie Belle of that
habit of filnging her head high at sud
den sounds, but she was nervous and
inquisitive, and this was the one thing
upon which she maintained feminine
obstinacy.
On the second evening the Ranger
rode home through drIzzle that had
materlallzed after long, threatening
afternoon and now promised to be-
come real rain. Ricardo met him
ut the door to say:
You bring good fortune with you,
senor, for the land is thirsty. To-mor-
row, If this rain holds, we shall ride
together-you, Pedro and l. Those
thieves do their stealing when they
leave no tracks"
The sky was leaden, the rain still
fell in the morning when Dave and
his two companions set out. Until
afternoon they rode, their slickers
dripping, swaying to the tireless fox
trot of their steaming horses, their

reined In and pointed; the others saw
where the barbed-wire strands of the
fence they had been following were
clipped. A number of horse and calf
tracks led through the opening, and
after an examination Ricardo an
nounced:
"There are two men. They have
come and gone, with the calves tied
neck and neck"
"That is Las Palmas, isn't it?" Law
indicated the pasture into which the
trail led.
Father and son answered, "si, Sc
nor"
For time the Ranger lounged side
wise in his saddle, studying the coun-
try before him. Perhaps a half-mile
away long narrow patch of woods,
with the tops of occasional oaks
showing. ran parallel with the fence
for considerable distance.
"They took them in yonder, to
brand" he said. Strengthening him
self. Maybe Wen be in time"
Side by side the three men rode on
Guzman's land, following the tracks
TO the nearest point Of woods; there
Law stopped to give his directions.
Pedro, you ride down this side /;

shake of the head Ricardo rode away,

he said:
