Old Age of the World.

Just as fire burns brightly at first
nd fades to ashes, so. many astron-
omers believe, the stars. or. as they
really are, suns. have youth. middle
life and old age. Stars appearing
blush are thought to be new and
vigorous, burning with an mean
descent heat; yellowish suns are In
their middle life, like ours; reddish
suns are but the embers OF once
bright stars. The presence of coIA-
pletely dark and dead suns has sew
eral times been suspected. 1t stands
to reason that no form of energy
like heat can last forever. and in that
case the time will come when orr
sun will burn itself out. Perha ps

in the sky, and half of the world will
be in constan mt darkness and the other
half in twilight. 1t will slowly grow
colder and colder; snow will not melt
except in the tropics, and the winds
will die down. Even now our sun,
in it's onward rush, might at any
time encounter one of those dead
suns, invisible now for lack of in
ternal illumina ton, and collide with

Deaf mutes, young infants and per-
sons who have had destructive dis

One theory Of the nature OF seasick'

stimulating impressions from the

Eyestrain. improperly fitted glasses,
and prolonged gazing at the white
water rushing by or the sun glare on
the distant water does the trick for
some people. Blind persons may get
seasick.
Perhaps the most satisfactory ex-
planation of the phenomenon is re-

DR.. Desnoes prefers scopolamin. q

Your Baby and Mine
Rickets in Families.
By MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

Some families never have knowl.
edge of ricketts, because they do not
seem predisposed to them, while all
the children Of another family may be
afflicted. Ricketts,, a nutritional dis
ease, characterized by bones so soft
that they inevitably lead to physical
defOrmalities. Is caused by a lack Of
sunlight and of certain essential food
elements. Nursing babies may develop
Ii II they are being nursed by mothers
who fail to give themselves the proper
nutrition during the prenatal or lacta-
ton period. or when the child is
nursed longer than the ninth month.
The prevention of ricketts, lies in
seeing that the child is given plenty Of
fresh air and direct sunlight daily
airings have more than one rea son
for being) and breast milk from a
mother who is feeding herself cor.
rectly; cod liver oil and orange Juice
from the early months on both for
the brea st feeding and bottle-fed in
FAINT.
Since ricketts, is an insidious dis
ease and attacks the fat as we'll a the
thin child. this giving of cod liver OIL
which Is rich in minerals and fats. has
become routine measure with pedia.
tricians. The dose is five drops day
to begin with and increased by one
drop daily until the child IL getting
two teaspoonfuls, divided into three
doses daily. If the child has an active
case Of ricketts,, this maximum dose
may be increased. AS a preventive,
two teaSpoonfuls, or even one tea
spoonful. daily is enough.
Naturally. even cod liver oil cannot
make up for a deficient diet The
child should have breas st or cows milk,
orange Juice after the third month,
and vegetables and cereals beginning
the sixth or seventh month. These
foods offer the child the mineral and
| vitamin elements which are essential
to his perfect development.
Ricketts, is easily cured, and no de-
formities will result, such as bow
I legs, pigeon breast, enlarged ankle
and wrist joints. protruding stomach.
! etc, II the disease is recognized and
| treated. If 1t Is left until the bones
do harden in their deformed state,
| little can be done to help it.
/ Some mothers become unduly
alarmed when their young babies
seem to look bow-legged during their
early months. The legs of the young
baby quite naturally curve, due to it's
long months in that position, but the
real bow.legged baby is one whose
legs bend and curve when he begins to
stand and walk on them. This baby
should be prevented from walking, his
diet improved and cod liver oil added
to It. until his bones have grown
strong enough to bear his weight.
Poverty; with It's attendant lack OF
sunshine and knowledge Of proper
feeding. is a contributing cause OF
! rickets, but failure to cure it comes
from ignorance alone.
