Anti.Rachitic Milk.

THE prevention and control of rick

serum, or milk. Ultraviolet treat
ment of the mother might cause the
antira chitic substance to be increased
in the milk which she gave. To test
this hypothesis Holstein- Friesian cows
Of nearly the same age and calving
date and receiving like treatment as
to feed, temperature, etc, were placed
side by side in dairy barn in a recent
experiment. according TO Science.
Throughout the experiment these
cows did not leave the barn. For one
month none of the cows received ultra
violet light. For the second month
two cows received ultra violet light IS
minutes a day generated from a
Cooper Hewitt alternating current
light a. three feet above their backs.
For the third month these COWS re-
ceived ultra violet light for 80 minutes
day under the same conditions.
In the meantime Rhode Island Red
chickens were allowed to develop rick
cts, shown both clinically and by X
ray photogra phs. They were divided
into two lots. one lot of three chickens
receiving milk from the ultraviolet
from the control cows. Both lots re-
ceived all the milk they wished.
After so days. the lot receiving milk
from cows exposed TO ultraviolet light
were in good condition with no appear
anCe of ricketts, in X-ray plates. The
lot receiving normal milk moved pro-
excessively toward more extreme rick
cts
These results point to the conclu-
sion that more of the substance neces-
Sary to cure ricketts, is absorbed by
he COW exposed to ultraviolet light
and secreted by her in her milk. The
COWS prevented from receiving ultra
violet light are not able to seCrete this
anti-rachitic substance in sufficient
quantities to cure or allay the prog
resS of clinical ricketts,.
1t would appear from this that the
best cows milk produced especially
for baby feeding would come from
COWS which have access to ultra violet
light. either from the sun or some
other source.

But though the old fashioned
straight line. which Euclid invented
2.200 years ago to explain his geomet-
rical ideas, must now go out of style,
the new Einstenian straight line,
Prof. Pierpont insisted. is straight in
