My other self, next morning, finds the water not warm
enough for the morning bath and flies off at a tangent.
My better self promises that it will not be affected by the
perculiar mannerisms of the people with whom l am forced
to associate daily.
The next morning from my other self issues a caustic
remark because one of my business associates persists in the
humming habit which is peculiarly aggravating to my nerves.
Or perhaps at breakfast one of my "in laws insists in carry
ing on a heated political argument, which is annoying to me
at any time and particularly SO at breakfast.
My better self firmly decides that tomorrow l am really
going to work and finish that long talked of task.
Across my other self comes stealing that feeling of,
"What's the use-wait until another day. and the entire day
is unhappy because unproftably employed.
Or my better self promises itself not to read any more
of the socalled popular light novels, only worthwhile things.

PARIS-Very few American de-
signers have the courage to compete
with the Parisians in their own
stronghold of style, but Yvonne
Davidson, wife of the American
sculptor, 10 Davidson, has.
Her understanding of Americans
and her knowledge of the type OF
clothes they like and need, has en-
abled her to change her once small,
modest shop in Paris. to a prosper
Gus and pretentious one, where she
shows some of the most distinctive
and beautiful frocks in Paris, and
where she designs with her own
countrywomen in mind.
MANY American women come to
Paris and develop a serious case of
'buyitis'." she explained. "They see
a great many gorgeous frocks in a
short time, see them on girls select
ed to show them off to the best ad-
vantage, lose their heads and begin
an orgy of buying.
Not So Good
"When they return home they
realize that most of the things they
bought, while they looked gorgeous
in Paris, aren't just suited to them,
after all.
"It isn't the fault of the Partisan
designers, but of the American
women themselves. The average
woman is afraid to stick to her type
of frock, the one she knows looks
really well on her.

YOUR BABY AND MINE
Scuryy and C k
By MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED


Mrs. T. H. G.. writes:
Will you please explain to me what
causes scurvy in a baby and what
causes ricketts, and what is the diff
erence between them? I have heard
tell of people on trips where they
could not get fresh food being at
tackled by scurvy, but how would
this possibly affect a baby? Is there
any cure for these diseases and how
will one know when the baby has
them?
Answer
Both scurvy and ricketts, are nu-
trititional disease due to improper
feeding, though ricketts, is muc
more common than scurvy. Scurvy
Is characterized by spongy, bleeding
purple gums, extreme tenderness OF
the flesh, noticeable when the baby
Is handled and changed, making him
cream when touched. Babies fed
on patent foods with no fresh milk
or orange juice may develop scurvy.
and the cure comes in changing to
fresh milk and the giving of orange
luice which contains the vitamins the
lack of which has caused the disease.
Rickets may develop in even the
breast fed baby and is due to faulty
Perth Amboy evening news., 1923-10-09

diet, to lack of sunlight and some
times to obscure causes not easily
found. The child will have a fab
by distended stomach, the fontanel
will stay open longer than it should
the bones at both wrists and ankles
will be large and the end of each
rib will develop a little knob that
makes a row of beads called the FRA
chitic rosary" The child will be a
light sleeper, will sweat easily and
though he may be fat his bony de-
velopment will be retarded or mis-
shapen almost to deformity. The
cure is cod liver oil daily and a radi-
cal change of diet as well as hours
in the sunlight.
