SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DR.. Brice Belden-

by LIZ Drice 0elueH-
VOUR child will have digestive
i troubles or not according to
the way you treat its digestive
organs from the time you first
begin giving it something to di-
gest, Its growth and general
health will depend upon its food
and It's power to digest it. The
value of its food. in turn. depends
largely upon what is called its
accessory elements" These are
vitamins, mineral elements and
so.called extractives-all of them
being things you don't ordinarily
think about because you can
neither see them, feel them nor
taste them. But science has shown
that they are there and that they
are of vital Importance.
At all periods of life from birth
to adolescence the need for the
accessory food factors should he
kept constantly in view, and it Is
wise to add them deliberately to
any ordinary diet table made out.
1t il often thought unnecessary TO
supply infants under three months
of age with orange juice or any
other factor to prevent scurVy.
There cannot be a greater mis-
take: the younger the child the
greater the need for this and the
other extras OF diet. Most of
the required accessory factors are
provided in a vegetable and bone
broth. prepared from chopped,
bone well boiled down with vine
gar for many hours. To this
must be added green vegetables
boiled for a short time only; liver,
kidney and other internal organs,
marmite to give vitamin B. There
are also a number OF special con-
centrated preparations on the
market, prepared by reliable drug
houses.
A baby. whose first two teeth
are coming through. usually, at
about six of seven months, may
begin to have crusts and A little
broth. The first meal, about a.
m, should be breast or milk only,
about six or seven ounces, and the
last meal. about 10 p. M, should
be the same. At 10 a. m. and

a trace OF butter on it in addition
to the. milk feed, and for dinner
about two ounces of broth, or half

DR.. Asadollah Beijan, Persian lee

Amanullah'S failure can be laid

WITH FLU AND GRIP:
CHECK ALL COLDS
Local People Warned of Danger
in Neglecting Colds

While there is no cause for seri-
GUS alarm over the flu, at the pres
ent time, health authorities say that
extra precaution should be taken to
check every cold at the very start.
The safe and effective way to do
this is to rub the throat and chest
at bedtime with Vicks VapoRub.
Vicks brings relief in two ways:
ID Its ingredients, vaporized by
the warmth of the body, are inhaled
direct to the infected air-passages.
(2)It acts through the skin like
a poultice, drawing out all tight
ness and pain"
Also snuff Vicks up the nose when
going into crowded places. Many
cases of flu start from germs be-
ing breathed in. Vicks will help
keep the air passages in condition
to throw off these germ attacks
