ALL DUE TO MALNUTRlTION
Various Diseases of Infancy and
Childhood That Can Be Traced to
" undernourishment.

Practically all varieties of malnutri-
ton occurring during infancy and
early childhood tend to terminate in
ricketts,, disease characterized by
Softening of the bones and consequent
deformity. The essential feature Of
ricketts,, says DR.. e. Pritcllard in the
British Medical Journal. is the want of
Qualification or naturalization of de-
Veloping bone, and this, in its turn, is
due to the existence of requirements
for calcium, which for the time being
are more urgent than those of develop
ing bone. These urgent requirements
are the necessity for neutralizing acid
bodies in the blood ;; in other words,
TO neutralize or compensate an exist
ing aeidOsis. Doctor pritchard argues
that all chronic conditions of malnutri-
ton, of whatever kind or from wiatsO-
ever cause arising, finally terminate In
an acidOSiS-all of which means that
children who do not get proper nour-
ishment are in fair way to become

MISTAKES ABOUT SEA WAVES
Really They Are Not Nearly as High.
as Some voyaaers Have
Asserted.

Voyagers on stormy seas come safe
~ ashore and tell their friends of
waves that rose mountains high and
at times threatened to overwhelm the
vessel on which they braved the deep.
The unframed eyes of the amateur
seafarer generally exaggerate the
height of the waves, and when the
statement is made that the water rose
at least 100 feet above the vessel it is
seldom that any Of the auditors can
disprove it. 49, sIs III
Exhaustive observations made by
scientists give the maximum height
attained by waves at not more than
sixty feet, and then only when the
wind has been of hurricane force. The
average height Of waves in a strong
gale is about thirty feet in "a whole
gale about thirty-seven feet, and in a
storm about forty-five feet. The scien-
lists further state that if waves travel
as fast as the average velocity of the
strongest winds and if there be swift
4er waves produced directly or Indirect
ly by action OF the wind upon the sea
they do not attain sufficient height to
form noticeable breakers.
