DIET AND HEALTH
BY LULU HUNT PETERS, M. D.

know, rather frequently spoken OF the
danger of extreme reduction in the
Young folks. I know haven't spoken
of it for the middle-aged, for, frankly,
I don't believe there is any danger
there whatever. certainly have never
had any reports of such cases in the
long time have been interested IN the
subject.
OF course, reducing to underweight
is undesirable even in the adult. When
we say we want to get "thin," we
really don't mean that. What we mean
is that we want to become normal. And
normal weight means that we will still
have enough fat to cover our bones
and pad out our organs that need 1t.
1 want to answer the reader who
wrote she had a young man border
who coughed excessively, and she was
afraid to have him about on account
of her children. OF course, not all
coughs are caused by tuberculosis.
However, 1t is wise for you to ask the
young man to give you competent
doctors written word that he is not
suffering from that disease.
Mrs. H.-Running at a good speed
(five and one-quarter miles an hour
uses up 500 calories an hour, in per-
son weighing about $50 pounds. (The
more you weigh, the more proportion
ately is used up)
Jumping rope, I think would come
under the same type of exercise as
running, so the number of Galleries you
use up would depend upon length of
time taken, the speed and your own
weight. Yes, it is a good exercise for
reducing, but don't forget it Is rather
violent exercise, and no violent exer-
else should be taken especially after
middle age, without physical check

Lincoln" will be either the masterpiece
of his career or his swan song.
He has chosen, he tells me, TO give
the world a picture of Lincoln the man

ter Huston elf he can get him) to dc
the portrayal.
walter Huston has been doing inter-
esting work in celluloid since talkies
brought him to the screen. Monta Bel
made a happy choice when he capital
lied on this actor for the rugged, mid
dle-aged financier type, the middle
aged editor type the middle-aged Don
Juan.
MIR. Griffith says an exhaustive study
of Lincoln has convinced him that the
martyred President was more complex
character than any of the thousands OF
villains and heroes he has portrayed or
the screen during his % years OF mo-
ton picture making.

Your Baby and Mine
By MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

Mrs. F.. w. S. writes: "Some things
about babies puzzle me, and one Of them
is why some babies develop ricketts, and
others not. I am the mother of five
children, all grown, big, strong and
healthy. When they were small we
never heard of cod liver oil, or sun
baths before open windows. Why didn't
my babies develop ricketts,?
Are not bow-legS and ricketts, in some
way associatedP have in mind baby
who has bow-legs and his father has,
also. This child was the same age as
mine and got more sunlight than my
baby because his mother was strong and
vigorous and took him out more. Isn't
this trait hereditary"
Answer-No doubt lots of persons
puzzle about this. There was a time,
though, when we had no knowledge OF
appendicitis, as we know it today, for
~ yes" and the victims simply died Of
IL. Which only goes to prove that the
patients died Just as surely OF appen-
dicitis as If they had known Its right
name.
OF course we have always had ricketts,.
The evidences of the ailment are all
about you today. Bow-legs, knock
knees, pigeon-breasts and square heads
are the result of early ricketts, which
progressed too far for the oony deIor :,
mites to disappear. The malformed
bones hardened into their position.
Many, many babies have ricketts, and
are cured of it spontaneously. Summer
follows Winter and they get more sun
light. They are weaned and put on
cows milk and table food and whatever
deficiencies in their diet caused the
ricketts, are made up and the condition
rights itself Even in the same house
hold there are no two children with
| exactly the same nutrtional start or
the same ability to asSimilate their food,
even if it is the same food.
If the child you mentioned had more
sunlight he may not have had good
| diet the first year-he may have been
nursed too long, or fed on deficient
diet-while your baby had none of these
handicaps even If he didn't get out
doors as much. You can't devise rules
about these things because individual
differences are too subtle to bear analy-
| sis.
As for q child inheriting bow-legs
| that would be almost as impossible as
for a child to come into the world with
a crooked leg because his father hac
broken his leg. Even such seions dis
eases as bone tuberculosis are not trans
mitted to the infant, and the child Of
a humpbacked father or mother has as
straight q back as any infant. The
reason for this is that acquired charac-
teristics are not Unbeatable. Bow-legt
are not natural to the human race, anc
Just because poor food and lack of sun
light resulted in the father's legs bend
ing, they In no way affect the infants
chances of having straight legs, provid-
ing he doesn't acquire ricketts, aitei
birth, as was true in this case.

Quota of Sunshine Should Be Soug Int
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER

of sunshine necessary to health, there
are days which almost cry out to be
lived in the open. 1t Is not the voice
of conscience, but foolish and stupid
sense of duty, so called, which bellies
the impulse to take the bounty nature
offers free of cost in the health-charged
atmosphere.
It is often the wrong sort of treasure
that is laid up for the rainy day"
Rainy days can be work days. They
can be days of close application to
rightly deferred household tasks. Bright
days should be health-giving play days.
Speaking in terms of the regular rou-
tine, the housewife should definitely
plan for some time spent out Of doors,
though it be but half an hour. To get
her quota of sunshine, she may have to
leave dishes undone for an hour at
noon. The dishes will wait. but the
brilliant sunshine will have waned in
the later afternoon. She has been ac-
customed, during the months Just past
to have more moments of sunshine, be-
cause the length of days permitted it..
Now she will have to so shape her plans
around the hours of sunshine in order
that some portion of them may be hers.

and then they lost their tempers and
cried. The day after party was usual
ly a hard time for the mother OF
small child.
Aunt Nancy felt that it was better
to keep some thrills for child and
not to give them all to her when she
was a mere infant. There is no one
who can plan games or entertainment
for a group of children varying In ages
from 2 to z or 8, so why try?
That did not mean, however, that
Nancy did not give Joan all sorts of
good times. One of Joanis favorite
amusements was helping Aunt Nancy
make queer things from dried fruits.
She would make sailor lads, fig rabbits
and turtle pruneS. To make the rab-
bit she used a plump fig for head,

Joan was about years ond. She
was a sweet-tempered child and we'll

liked was she that she received many
invitations to birthday parties. Nancy's
ingenuity was taxed to the utmost to
decline these invitations without giving
offense.
Nancy felt that children of 2, 3, 4
and 5 were too small to go to parties.
In the first place they did not know
what a party was; they went and

or oilcloth. the inside is equipped with
shelves (Which should be about four
inches wide) and painted in a color
to match the predominating shade in
the design of the outer covering.
Such an arrangement would take care
of all the dishes and pans required for
one apartment, and even the containers
for spice, sugar, salt, -four, ETC., would
find happy home.
If you make screen like this, be sure
that the shelves are wide and fitted
