neighborhood and celebrated it by
getting piano on the installment
plan. But some of the debts were
paid off, and all went fairly well for
eight months. Then another slump;
a debauch. No work, and the land
lord threatened eviction. The mother
had to be sent to the hospital, one
girl to a relative; the others boarded
out. After q time they began to get
well; new job was found, and the
Loyal family were getting together;
and there seems to be hope.
Such is a typical tale of the human
derelict in the Misery Clinic, that
may be holding fairly continuous ses-
sions around the corner from where
you live. DR.. Southland and Miss Jar
rett, who call their case-book the
Kingdom of Evils" can give you
hundreds of such cases. Here is the
bill for the Loyal case in social terms:
The social worker. 245 hours; doctor,
Is hours; psychological examination,
one hour. and nothing is said of the
policeman and the court. The medi-
cal record takes AZ pages; the social
record, LOG pages; there were 12O
visits, 105 telephone calls, rs letters
on the case.
That's the formal bill that society
pays to keep one derelict afioat. 1t
seems the only way. If society said,
sink or swim, there would be no
choice but to go under. The day is
past when we can treat crime; we
must treat cases. But the day hasn't
come when we can dispense with
either the police or the doctor. We
have become more expert in knowing
when to call them, and why we do so.

Your Baby and Mine
By MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

Cod liver oil has become such a IA
miliar article on all bathroom shelves
that one supposed all mothers were
equally familiar with it's properties,
and the reason it was given to chill
dren. Apparently not, as one mother
wrote me, in what sounded like an in
dignant tone on paper, Il have never
given my child cod liver oil and do
not intend to. I do not believe in
drugs"
Because doctors advocate it and be-
cause it is bought at the drug store
is, / feel sure, the reason for this
erroneous idea about cod liver oil, be-
cause it is no more drug than but
ter. 1t is a food, an oil derived from
the livers of Gods, and it is given as
food.
1t contains vitamin A-the same
vitamin that is found in butter, cream,
milks of all types-and in addition 1t
contains what has been named vita
min d, property whose action is like
that of sunlight. Sunlight helps the
body to make the best use or Its FOODS:
We may give a child a good diet, but
without enough sunlight the proper
ties in the diet are not all doing their
"iobs." Add sunlight to the diet and
the same one will be found efficient.
Cod liver oil does the same thing.
1t sets the calcium and phosphorus
to work in the most telling way, a
nice little slave driver. If you will.
Some mothers have complained that
cod liver oil upsets their babies Tor
DAYS. In almost every case it has
been found that these mothers either
started out with too large doses at
first; or else they were giving the cod
liver oil all at one time in the day,
a load that proved too rich for the
baby's stomach to bear.
A concentrated oil like this given
to a child before a meal would. II
nothing else, tend to check digestion,
so that the food would leave the
stomach more slowly and might be
partly vomited back.
The best method Of administering
is to give the cod liver oil IN small
doses three times day. and give 1t
after a meal. The full stomach will
take care of it better, and in small
doses II will not upset the child.
The Winter climates OF many States
make cod liver oil an essential part
of the diet of the baby and child up to
two years of age. In sunny climates
when the child is able to be exposed
to the suns rays for periods during
the day, it is not so vital need. The
mother must decide these matters for
herself, though cod liver oil is one
insurance against malnutrition, and
that in itself is a powerful factor in
its favor.
