Yes sir, sed. I was going to do it

PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE
BY WILLIAM BRADY, MD.

It is because of the large amount of
vitamtn A in cod liver oil that this food
medicine has been dubbed bottled sun
shine" for the scientists who give us
this new knowledge believe that some
influence in the ultraviolet rays of sun
light (or ultraviolet rays from artificial
sources) mparts to the. body, through
the SKIN, the same effect as that OF
vitamin A in food.
Cod liver oil is perhaps the richest
natural food source of both vitamin A
and vitamin D, but it is fortunately not
the only source of these necessary
vitamins, for fresh raw milk and cream
and butter are likewise good sources of
both these vitamins also fresh egg
(yolk); also most of the fresh green
leafy relishes or vegetables. Then, too,
the yellow foods-carrotS, sweet pota-
toes, yellow corn or corn meal, string
beans, orange, ripe banana-are notable
among the vitamin rich items of diet.
I don't believe I'd part with any extra
dollars for newer preparations if were
responsible for the baby's nutrition, as
long as I could get plain cod liver oil
for the kid-say 10 drops two or three
times day at the age Of six weeks, and
gradually increasing week by week, till
times a day Is reached at the age Of,
say, six months, and after that a daily
tablespoonful, except maybe holidays
of obligation, until the baby attains the
age of year. After the first year it is
just extravaganza to buy cod liver oil
for the normal baby, and it should not
be given the child except under definite
instructions of the doctor.
F. E. MuSSeri of the College of Agri-
culture. Lincoln, Nebr., is a scientific
authority who asserts that the present
standard by which the vitamin value
of foods or medicines is measured is of
questionable accuracy, and he backs up
this opinion with sound evidence. He
holds that the use of rats for feeding
experiments leads to faulty conclusions,
since rats can and do thrive on a far
less adequate vitamin ration, compare
lively, than even fowls, to say nothing
of human beings.
This brings once more to mind the
great need for human material for sci
entiflc research. I repeat that we ought
to use the human material now going
to waste in prisons for the benefit of
mankind. Such scientific experimental
ton with human material would GER
tainly involve no cruelty or hardship
believe a sufficient number of inmates
of prisons would eagerly offer them
selves as such material and that they
would gain both morally and physically
by their slight service to society.

Normal Diet.
Dear Miss Leeds: 1 am 80 years old
and perfectly healthy and am anxious
to keep healthy by right diet. Can q
person cut down on his diet and still
keep flt? Is red nose caused by ones
diet? I suffer terribly from constipa-
ton. don't want to become
FAT AND FORTY.
Answer.-A person who is conStipated
habitually cannot remain healthy long.
Constipation Is the beginning of a great
many of the ills that flesh Is heir to.
So the first and most important thing
for you to do to insure good health Is
to overcome this common ailment.
Right diet and exercise will effect q
cure in most cases, but in more serious
ones a doctor should be consulted. Do
not take cathartics without a doctors
orders. In the average case of consti-
patton eating more fruits and vege-
tables will provide enough roughage,
but in some conditions this roughage is
too irritating. If you wish to keep well
you should have periodic health exami-
nations by a doctor and ask his or her
advice on the diet suitable to your In
dividual needs. The red nose may be
caused partly by the constipation and
partly by poor circulation due, perhaps,
to lack Of daily exercise. LOIS LEEDS.

great cheerfulness and Importance, and
leaves you to work until $50.
It wouldn't matter so much if you
were allowed to come in late the next
morning, but in a large organization
you have to punch the timeclock and
you have an hour for lunch. And it's
only an hour even if that same incon-
siderate boss keeps you until 1880 die
tating frightfully unimportant letters.
A girl writes and asks me whether a
stenographer ought to take this as part
of her job and not complain, or whether
she should make a fuss about it and
perhaps lose her job. There isn't any
general answer. It's an individual
problem. If your boss is thoughtless
but good-natured you can have a little
talk with him. You may even point out
to him that some of the letters do not
have to go out that very day
As a rule it doesn't make much diff
ference whether a letter goes off today
or tomorrow. The ablest business peo-
pie know that. They know the world
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1931-01-22

isn't going to run away. and that some
thing done calmly tomorrow is better
than something done with excitement
today.
If your boss keeps you late because
he Is mean and wants to show his
power, my advice is to get very sick,
and while you are very sick to look for
another job
There are some small people whose
only way to show they have power is
to ill-treat those who work for them.
A man like that feels important when
he stalks out at o'clock, leaving his
poor slaves working behind him. 1t
makes him think he's doing something.
If there we're some indirect way in
which you could let him know that this
