FIGURES
FIXED
City Takes First Steps to
Call Election for
December 30.

Fearing the lack of time would
cause a postponcment of the proposed
pay increase for members of the city
commission, the officials took pre-
liminary steps calling a pay amend
ment election December so, at a meet
ing Thursday afternoon.
With the discovery that 20-day
notice was necessary before an ordi-
nance setting the date, hastily pre-
pared resolution was passed, giving
notice that on November % the COM
mission will consider an ordinance or
derins the change in the charter.
IL San Antonio approves the in
creases, the mayor will draw 5000
annually and each of the four COM
missioners $4,000.
These salaries compare with $JOOU
now being drawn by Mayor John w.
Tobin and $4,000 by each of the COM
missioners.
The commission thought there was
ample time for calling the election I'M
til City Clerk Fred Fries pointed out
that the state law requires the 2O-day
notice in addition to the so days after
the proclamation is issued.
1t was feared ut first that the cleo
ton would have to be postponed until
February, 1926.
The resolution was prepared and
passed, however, in time to hold the
election as originally planned.
Directors of the Chamber Of Com
merce, after the Technical Club start
ed the movement. suggested that the
mayor receive $4,000 per year and
commissioners $1,000 each.
Mayor Tobin demanded, however
the sums be reduced.

DIR. FREDERICK r. GREEN
Editor of "HEALTH"
PUTTING SUNSHINE. IN

Western Newspaper Union.D

T IGHT Is life. Darkness is death.
- The ancient philosophers knew
this. Men for centuries have known
that sunlight was necessary for health
and life. Gardeners and florists have
long known that plants, TO be healthy
and strong must have sunlight, and
that plants grown in cellars or caves
are pale, weak and unhealthy.
We have long known these facts.
We are only just beginning to know
why. Scientific men have learned
more about light in the last fifty years
than had been learned in all the long
centuries preceding We know today
that all light is the same, that all
forms of light come originally from
the sun, which is the source of all
light and of all life as well, and shat
when God said LET there be light"
He also said LET there be life"
For number of years it has bee.
known that sunlight was especially
valuable In the treatment of two dis
eases, both of them largely diseases
of infancy: tuberculosis, which some
of the best authorities claim is always
contracted in early life, no matter
when it may become apparent, and
ricketts,, which always occurs In the
first year or two of life. This Is the
reason for the puZZling fact that poor
children i'm the slums who play out
doors in ragged clothes are often freer
from these two diseases than PAM
pered children of wealthy families,
reared in hothouses and always over
dressed and wrapped up. Poverty has
its inconvenience, but the poor child
gets more sunlight on his skin than
does the son of the millionaire.
Then it was found that certain
kinds Of electric lamps, the carbon anG
the mercury-vapor lamps, gave on
ultraviolet rays that had the same
effect as the sunlight. About year
ago Professor Steenbock of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin and DR.. Alfred
Hess of New York found that linseed
or cottonseed oil, exposed to the sun
light or to the mercury light, at sorted
these ultraviolet rays and were just
as valuable and much better tasting
than the cod liver oil that has for
years been used in the treatment CT
tuberculosis and ricketts,. Then they
found that flour, dried milk, vege-
tables and other foods, exposed to the
light, absorbed these rays, and If fed
to the child would prevent ricketts,.
This Is due to the fact that either the
animal orsthe vegetable cell absorbs
the ultraviolet rays and holds them,
later giving them off to the body.
These rays, taken into the body, stim-
does, and so make the body stronger
and healthier and better able to resist
disease.

WELL-FED CHILDREN

WHILE the amount of tuberculosis
" has been greatly cut down in the
last 25 years, this dreaded disease is
far too common and still deserves its
name as "the great white plague" Be
side reducing 1t TO almost one-half Of
its former amount, we also know
great deal more about it, and so know
better where and how to attack 1t.
Our grandfathers and grandmothers
thought that consumption was heredi-
tary, that certain persons were marked
for 1t from birth, and that it was use
less for such unfortunates to try to
escape their doom. We know now
that tuberculosis is not hereditary, but
that, far too often, healthy children
contract it from living in close con-
tact with infected parents; that no
matter at what age the disease may
show itself, the infection is generally
contracted in childhood. We also
know that there is no drug or serum
that will protect any one, and that
children who are Improperly fed or
poorly nourished are more likely to
become infected than those who are
well fed and who have high degree
of bodily resistance.
So that one of the most hopeful
methods of reducing this dread dis
ease is TO see to it that children, so
far as possible, are well fed, especial
ly during the period. Of active growth.
In a recent article In Outdoor Life,
DR.. Henry A. Chadwick of the Massa-
chusetts department of public health,
discusses the relation of malnutrition
and tuberculosis in children. A we'll
nourished child, he says, stands erect,
Is alert and has a slightly moist skin
of good color. Its bones and muscles
are well developed, and its weight Is
up to the average Of a normal child of
the same age. An undernourished
child Is dull, nervous and fidgety. He
has rounded back and STOPPING shout
ders, pale, dry skin, fiabby muscles
through which the bones show plainly.
He is below the other children In
weight and height. He Is nervous,
tires easily, sweats constantly, has a
poor appetite, and has frequent colds.
Such children, are more susceptible to
tuberculosis than are normal children.
They need simple, nourishing food and
plenty of it, outdoor air and sunshine
and plenty of sleep, If they are to over
come their natural tendency to con-
sumption.
