PIECES of Silver

The "piece Of silver" 80 of which
were paid to Judas in his act of be-
trayins Christ, was Of peculiar inter
est to the Israelites. and was always
spoken of in their holy books as the
shekel of Israel, or holy shekel of the
sanctuary. 1t was the amount which
all Israeites between the ages of
twenty and fifty were required to pay
into the public treasury as a ransom
for their delivery during their soiourn
in the wilderness.
A sheke was worth about 50 cents
in American coin Money was, how
ever, much more valuable at that time,
and the $50 pieces" were equal at that
day TO about $1,000 today The shekel
was somewhat larger than a half dol
lar and was smooth edged. On one
side il bore the emblem of Aaron's
rod, as mentioned in Num- 17:S, sur
rounded by the Inscription in Hebrew
which is given in the eleventh chapter
of Leviticus, with the words, "Shekel
Of Israel"

IN hauling to the icehouses there
from ponds about four miles north

are also being used by local Indian

Several hundred tons of ice are put
up each year for the use of govern

and for local traders. The ice is
said to be of much better quality
than last year, when early floods
damaged the ice to considerable ex-
tent before it could be cut.

ersistent Ants Make
Trouble for Keepe,

Two colonies of wood ants, just in.
stalled in the London zoo, have out
witted the keeper by their cunning.
The colonies were dug up a. Limps-
field, Surrey, and the nests taken
bodily to the menagerie. Here each
was dumped on rectangular island
entirely surrounded by a moat to pre-
vent the ants escape.
Next morning, however, the keeper
found the insect house swarming with
the ants, which had spent the night
bridging the moat by the aid of float
ing pine needles.
Having destroyed or recaptured the
fugitives, the keeper proceeded to
clear the moat, but so persistent are
the bridge builders that he has had
to pour parailin oil in the water.

KEEPING WELL
PREVENTING ricketts,
DIR. FREDERICK r.. GREEN
Editor of HEALTH"

TT HAS long been known from oh
L servation and records that twins
and premature infants are more Sus-
,eptible TO ricketts, than full-time nor
nal infants. Premature infants, as al
most every one knows, are those born
before the completion Of the normal
aine months period Of development.
They are always smaller. and weaker
han normal babies Their bodies
contain less mineral salts, especially
calcium and iron, than the normal
baby, and the supply of these min
erals IS more apt to run short after
birth, even when they are breast fed.
This lack Of bone-forming material
has generally been accepted as the
reason why they are more liable to
have soft, weak and undeveloped
bones.
AS to twins, the reason is equally
plain. Before birth, each twin gets
only one-half as much calcium and
iron salts from the mother as does
the single child. After birth, the
mothers milk with whatever mineral
salts 1t may contain, has to be divided
among two babies 50 that each one
only gets one-half of what a single
child would have. SO both premature
babies and twins are especially apt
to develop ricketts,.
Another reason which has been adj
vanced by Parks is that the premature
infant is really an incomplete and I'M
developed human machine and is less
efficient than full-term baby, and
is therefore more susceptible to and
more apt to develop disease than is
full-term normal infant. SO ply
sicians Of wide experience have stated
that 1t is impossible to prevent Il
premature infant from developing
tickets.
In a recent issue of the Journal Of
the American Medical association
Doctors Gertsenberger and Nourse of
Cleveland discuss this question. Aft
er lengthy discussion with much evil
dence from case histories they con-
clude that 'riekets can be both pre-.
vented and cured In premature in
fants. This is done by feeding the
babies what is known as S. NJ. A., an
artificial mixture Of animal and vege-
table fats in addition to mothers milk
and cod-liver oil, the combination con-
tanning enough minerals to cure the
ricketts, in seven weeks and to produce
hard normal bones in nine weeks.
They also conclude that to prevent
ricketts, in premature infants, cod-liver
oil should be given as soon as the
baby begins to eat, that excessively
rapid and great gain in weight should
not be encouraged and that the food
should contain larger amount Of
mineral salts than does human milk.
