How ricketts,, a disease Of the bones
common among infants, which baffled
physicians for many years can be
cured by the irradiation of food with
ultraviolet rays, was told by DR.. AL

A diet of dried milk, flour and
water will invariably bring about the
disease which causes bow-legs and
other deformities of the limbs, but
the introduction of the ultraviolet

Many Other Betrayals.
Job printers and newspaper print
ers interviewed at the call room of
the union, where the unemployed
workers gather every morning at ten
to await calls for work, were unani-
nous in their denunciation of the pro-
posed agreement. On every hand was
heard the severest criticism of the
Rouse administration for refusing to
let the membership express itself on
the question of hours.
Assail Howard Hayes Gang.
They likewise assail the conduct of
President Charles P. Howard of the
l. 7. U. and Secretary Treasurer John
w. Hayes, heads of the two opposing
political parties in the |. 7. u. for
sitting upon the platform of the No
vember meeting of the union and re-
fusing. even to speak to the member
ship about their negotiations with the
employers. It was pointed out that
Howard and Rouse in 1924 played the
same sort of trick upon the member
ship in the newspaper scale controver-
sy by submitting fake ballots that did
not give the membership chance to
vote on the question of the demands
of the newspaper men for shorter
hours.
On every hand is heard the remark
that it is better to gain reduction in
hours than measly increase of dol
lar in wages because if the printers
are all working the question of wages
can easily be settled.
Tried to Prevent Discussion.
Much criticism is also heard in the
printing districts because the ballot
was not circulated soon enough to
give the membership time to discuss
it and organize concerned opposition
to it.
The concensus Of opinion is that
the only solution now is to vote down
the proposition and force the officials
to permit vote on the burning ques.
ton of a reduction of hours.
