ILLNESS IN INFANCY MAY AFFECT
ENTIRE LIFE
ricketts, and Nervousness Leave Their Mark on Child

In 80 Of the cases, one or both OF
the eyes had shriveled, and in all of
the cases serious changes had taken
place in tissue Of the eye.
In more recent study, having to
do particularly with the effects on
the teeth of the deficiency of other
vitamins in childhood, Bloch found
that severe deficiency of vitamin A
in infancy, resulting in q disease Of
the eyes called xerophthalmia, has
serious effects on the child. Hardly
two-thirds of the children reach the
age Of eight years. After this, their
development goes on normally, ex-
cept that the eye. disturbance may
result in impaired vision. or complete
blindness.
There seems to be no question that
an absence of vitarnin D in infancy
results in disturbances Of formation
of the skeleton and dental carries.
Dental anomalies in man seem to be
due chiefly to abnormality of the
way in which the body takes care Of
calcium and other minerals during
the period when the teeth are calci-
flying. Vitamin D Is the chief vita
min associated with Qualification
process.

The Age Limit

One OF the things troubling the

tendency toward a cold-blooded re-

The question is not a new one but
it has been raised with increasing
frequency in late years and the rea-
son is the apparent establishment Of
rule by many large concerns. either
openly or secretly, which acts as a
bar against the employment of men
over certain age.
If the tendency Is fact, it does
little good to inveigh against it, the
only remedy being that of education

Sir Thomas LiptOn
(NeW York Times)

There will be many tributes to Sir
Thomas Upton. Men will speak of
him in superlatives. He was one of
the great merchants of the British
Empire. Did he not prove that Scot
land was land of opportunity by
being diligent in his business -and
expanding it until the day came
when he stood before kings? you're
doin' fine, Tom," said his mother six
weeks after the Stobcross Street shop
opened, but don't be after KILN
yersclf workin' too hard" Hard
work was all right, the son reflected,
but it was advertising that paid. He
had got that idea in his wanderingS
in the United States. He became one
of the greatest advertisers in the
world.
Samuel Smiles never had a clearer
self-made man than Thomas Lip
ton. The boy to whom a guinea used
to be fortune became the master
of millions and the employer of hosts
of men. He was generous with his
money, never more SO than in the
World war, when he turned the Erin
into hospital ship; and Serbia knew
him as Uncle Tom" His motto was
Labor Omnia Vincit." A friend Of
the early Glasgow days said of him: ::
HE did not need to be knighted to
be a nobleman."
Americans will, of course, exalC Sir
Thomas as one of the leading sports
men of his time, particularly because
tof his indefatigable quest of the
Americas Cup. One Shamrock after
another failed him, but his enthu-
siasm was unquenchable, and he
proved himself the most gallant OF
losers, always acclaiming Americans
as "the finest sportsmen in the
world" They could return the COM
pliment, always feeling that If he
lived long enough they would not an
swer for the final result. Glasgow
bestowed upon her son, whose wit
was Irish and his courage Scotch,
the freedom of the city, distinc-
tion of which he was always proud
He had a genius for companionship
with all sorts and conditions of men
and to the end was good friend and
an honorable contestant in his Ia
vorite sport of yacht-racing.

(Official City. State and County
NeWspaper)
Prohibition to the Fore

issue is linked with the churches of
all denominations has been demon-
strated in Bismarck the last few
days. There has been an unusual
interest shown in the various qu9s-
tions and doubtless many vets Slip
ped into the dry tent to hear The
arguments.
1t is a fine characteristic Of the
American people which leads them
to discuss major issues months be-
fore the nomination of any candi-
dates. One Of the speakers from the
Bismarck Auditorium platform last
Sunday evening declared that money
was to be raised to elect a dry presi-
dent. He said he did not care what
party label the candidate wore but
the label had to be dry. Coming from.
the South, he declared the North had
shot the theory of state rights clear
out of 1--WE southerners" and now The
South was going to insist upon ma
tional prohibition despite any north
ern talk of "state rights" And he
"booed'' a little as he said "state
rights"
The action of the American Legion
in voting for a referendum upon the
issue of prohibition after IL years Of
trial has spurred the drys. The drys
flatly assert that prohibition has not
had fair trial. There is where the
vets and the drys are now at blows.
Nothing but good can come out OF
a free and dignified discussion of
the prohibition issue. It is great
public question and one that can
not be settled without much dclib-
GRAFTON. Meetings such as have been
held in Bismarck should tend to
clarity some of the issues. If there
is any criticism to be made of the
presentation of the arguments it is
that some of the platform comedy
used at times hardly fortifies an 9TH
erwise sound argument and good
logic.
The vets, on the other hand, have
hurled their share of villification and
issued charges and counter charges,
but the great jury represented by
the American people is going to be
swayed more by fair arguments than
sophistry, whether it comes from the
vets or the drys. It Is a free ccun-
try and the essence of freedom is
that no faction should seek to sway
audiences by an intolerant and ST.
percilious attitude.
This drive to bring the arguments
of prohibition home to the Ameri-
can people is worthy one and it is
an excellent sign that crowds have
attended the meetings.
The real argument, after all, is not
so much concerning the merits or
demerits OF prohibition. Whether
beer will solve the unemployment
problem is hardly burning issue
Neither Is it especially essential that
Uncle Sans treasury be enriched by
restoring liquor, beer, light wines. all
Of them or some of them. That can
be dismissed as not a very major fac
tor in determining the right or wrong
of federal prohibition.
The real issue for the American
people to decide is whether they want
to continue with federal regulation oI
the liquor traffic or refer it back tx
the states for their sole and sovereign
control. This Is the issue the dry,
must face and they are doing so il
most vigorous way.

A fretful cry came from the
baby's bed. There was a second
cry. Little Mark was waking from
his nap.
Immediately Norma was at his
side, bending down over the tiny,
wriggling body. She was grooming
some peculiar sing.song nonsense
that the infant seemed to under
stand. Norma picked him up and
the fretful crying ceased.
She turned with the child in her
arms. An amazing transformation
had taken place. Norma's blue eyes
were tender now. She laid her
cheek gently to the Infants. smiled

to have that"

There was a pause. When Norma
went on her voice had changed
subtly. She looked at Chris but
the words came as though she were
speaking to herself. :
"Those hot days here alone last
summer-I had so much time to
think it all out. It's-not easy to
talk about. That's when l knew I
had to quit thinking about Mark.
Somehow I was sure even then the

way I did-nothing would have
kept him away. He'd have come
back to me and no matter what
anyone said to him he wouldn't
have believed it. He'd have come
to me for the truth! Mark didn't
do that. When I made myself
really face these facts I knew I had
to stop thinking about him. Well
that's-all there is to it! I told my.
self to stop thinking about him and
I have. Little Marks been a big

CHRIS crossed the room and put
