Cultivation of tuberculosis.


Listen. girls. This is a friendly chat
about health and good looks and fun,
and not 4 word about sin, character,
reputation or morals. Strictly speaking,
I aru going TO talk about health; good
LOOKS depend on health. Of course. and
so does fun Can't have much fun II
you haven't good health.
Dr.. S. Ad0lpfus Kn0pf. famous au-
tnority on tuberculosis, says that al
though there has been a so per cent
decrease IN the prevalence Of the disease
among the general population in the
last IS years, statistics from various
cities OF the country indicate that tuber-
cuiosis IS actually increasing among
young women. How come? DR. knopf
enunerates several predisposing causes.
Thus he thinks the 'fimsy modern
dress" Of girls in their teens Is one
factor. but, candidly, desire TO tell the
world that DR. Knopf is OF the reserva-

but he Is no authority at all on health
and hygiene. So IL my daughter wants

When he bites in anger instead of
slapping him set him on his rug In the

that he is persona non grata Let him

him he has to stay by himself because

There would be an enormous
decrease in our divorce rate II
these facts were emphasized and
acted upon in our courts. Senu-
mental theory to the contrary,
many women want q child and
a home much more than they
want man. They have no deep
liking for or understanding of
men. They resent the demands
which a husband may make upon
them and the work caused by
his presence in the house. When
he has provided the child and
the home their use. for him has
passed, and they can easily find
sufficient grounds to rid them
selves of him.
No woman should be forced to
live with a man who Is really
cruel to her or her child. But no
woman should be allowed to rob
a man of his child merely be-
cause she is tired of him. And
they would think long and hard
before trying to do so II they
knew that their possession of their
children was endangered.
IL the fathers love were recog-
nized, IL the courts would uphold
him in taking his child for half
the year and placing 1t in an ade-
quate foster home. there would be
a speedy dwindling in divorce
complaints.

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
~ II. Q. 9. y. Reed-

Your child may have been born
with soft bones. This Is the
essential symptom Of the eondi-
ton know as ricketts,, which. how
ever, has other evidences u iefec-
tive nutrition. It il one of the
so.called deficiency diseas4s by
which Is meant some deficiency in
diet.
During the past 10 years, since
the foregoing fact has been recog-
nized, there have been great ad-
vances in the treatment Of ricketts,.
These advances partly have been
founded on knowledge Of the dis.
ease itself and partly on hopeful
experiments. Treatment Is still in
4 condition Of fIux. A few years
ago everybody was stressing the
Importance Of diet rich In the
anti.rachitic vitanain ID.
Last year artificial sunlight
treatment was hailed as the ideal.
Today there is reason to think
that the administration in the food
OF artificialIy prepared yitamin
will become the treatment Of the
future. There Is no doubt that
ricketts, can be cured by many
means. Anti.rachitic yitamin diet,
codliver oil, sunlight, artificial
light all will cure, and will take
a different length of time, accord
ing to the method. the age and
the patients idosyncrasy. But the
time factor Is an important one,
It is thoroughly bad for any young
child to have a long period of In
yalidisnn. This is especially true
in view of the fact that, during
this period, the child is more liable
to infection. These may cause dam
age or even death.
Everybody agrees that ricketts,
Is due to an absence In the body
of the vitamin called ID. ID"
can be produced by ultraviolet
light. either directly In the body
or in the food. There is suo-
stance called ergost, from ergot,
the ''mildeW" which affects rye,
sometimes called blasted rye.
This substance is quite widely
distributed. Ample experiments
have demonstrated that when 1T
is irradiated--exp to ultra
violet light--it becomes full of
yitaniin ID" and therefore strong
ly ahtirachitic.
Adm has tried treating series
Of cases with this substance, of
which, In fluid form, he gives
three to 10 drops twice daily.
None of the children were upset
at all by the medicine, After a
short period of treatment the dull,
motionless, Buddha.like sufferer
from actIve ricketts, would become
active, lively and talkative. N-rays
proved that the deposit of lime
in the bones was going on rapidly
X:rays. however, cannot detect
the very earliest signs Of ricketts,
in the head and ribs, so that
most OF the children treated had
the disease in a fairly advanced
stage.
IL was found the codliver oil
and antirachitic diet effected a
cure In about Is weeks. Exposure
to carbon artificial sun lamp
in addition did not appreciahly
shorten the time Of cure. III the
child had proper diet, codliver and
ultraviolet light from tungsten
carbon arc the time Of cure was
shortened to about nine weeks.
