Babies need sunshine, and so do old
er children. 1t has an important eff
feet on their growth. Of course, ev-
eryone has realized this in general
way for a long time, but only in re-
cent years have we known the rea-
sons.
Normal growth Of bones depends not
only on the food that the child eats,
but also upon the mineral content Of
that food and the presence Of vitamin
d. Vitamin D is found in cod liver
oil as well as in certain foods, or it
may be supplied to the body by expos
ure to the direct rays of sunlight.
When bones do not form or grow nor
mally, we say the child has ricketts,.
Where there is plenty of sunshine
and children can be out-of-doors in the
sun throughout the year, they seldom
have ricketts,. In colder climates, how
ever, where children must be indoors
so much, this disease is likely to be
prevalent. Mothers should begin very
early to take precautions against rick
cts by providing diets with adequate
mineral content supplemented with

cod liver oil during the winter months
and sun baths the year around.
Only a part of the sunlight is effec-
tive-the ultraviolet rays. Less of
these are present In the winter sun
light. These rays do not pass through
the ordinary window glass nor through
heavy clothing, so it is necessary to
put babies frequently where the direct
sunlight will fall on their skin. At
this season of the year baby can be
placed out of doors in his carriage ev-
cry sunny day If protected from wind.
People used to think it necessary for
babies to be carefully shielded from
direct sunlight. When a baby was put
out-of-doors he was bundled up in
many clothes and the hood of the car
riage was pulled up to keep out ev-
cry ray OF sunlight.
It has also been believed that
baby's eyes are weak and sensitive
to light. The sun does not cause in
flammation, but it should never be al
lowed to shine directly on the eyes
whether they are open or closed. The
moment the child opens his eyes he
gets the full effect of the glare, caus-

Rhubarb Conserve Liked
With Cold Meats

BY conserve" is usually meant
fruit preserve containing such ingredi-
ents as oranges and lemons, nuts,
raisins, and various other additions to
the fruit from which the conserve
takes it's name. A conserve Is liked
as an accompaniment to cold meat.
or as luncheon sweet with bread and
butter, cookies or plain cake
Here is seasonable conserve made
from rhubarb. The special acid flavor
of the rhubarb makes 1t very agree
able with meat. The recipe is fur
nished by the bureau of home eco
nomics of the United States Depart

ing shock which the child's processes
are not organized to handle. Repeat
ed shocks of this kind may cause per-
manent injury. There is way to ex-
pose the baby to plenty Of sunshine
without eye injury, as Is shown in
the accompanying illustration. The
hood Of the baby carriage Is arranged
so that the sun will shine on the
baby's cheeks but not in his eyes. He
should be turned first on one side and
then on the other. His hands, too, are
exposed to the suns rays for few
minutes each day. The illustration is
from a chart prepared by the extern
sion service of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture in series
which is called Build Early for Good
Growth
In summing a baby care must be TAX
en- not to burn his tender skin. A
slight reddening of the skin each day
will gradually bring about tanning.
Get the baby used to sunlight by de-
grees. Excessive tanning should be
avoided because it prevents the ultra
violet rays from penetrating, and
therefore makes the sun bath less eff
fective. Every few days the amount
of body surface exposed should be in
creased, at first slowly, but as the days
grow warmer, more rapidly. After the
face and hands are used to the sun
the arms may be barred. Do this for
only few minutes at first, the time
being increased daily. Soon the legs
may be barred. Later sun baths may
be given the whole body. In warmer
months the length of time is increased
considerably, but the summing should
be given II a. m. or after 3 p. m. to
avoid the very hot part Of the day.

Timely Household Hints

Leave the screened attic windows
open to help keep the house cool.
Comfortable shoes make shopping
and holiday entertaining easier for
the homemaker.
A quart Of milk daily for each child
and a pint for each adult In the FAM
lily is a good standard for health.
Fresh berries keep best If they are
carefully picked over and spread out
on shallow dish in the refrigerator.
A spring-clip clothespin with the
name of the owner printed on 1t is
safeguard for children's rubbers both
at home and at school.
A tempting appearance adds to the
success of a vegetable dinner. Color,
attractive arrangement Of food on the
plate, and daintiness all count

Children's Evening Fairy Tale

- - - ~
treat from the Fairy Queen-to wave
her wand and make them very small
for their visit with the fighting fishes
And sure enough, the fairies became
the most glorious of bright red, bright
blue and a deep, deep, deep, wonderful
pink.
Then the fishes, who were quite
wide awake and ready for anything by
this time, suggested they should have
battle.
$50 you do fght?" asked one Of the
fairies. 1--WE thought we would suggest
playing instead Of fighting.
"We won't like fighting and we
thought maybe we could see your col
ors just the same way-and we did"
Dear me, yes" said one Of the
fairies, 1--WE fight, but we Just have a
jolly sort of water battle.
"You could call it playing If you
liked.
1--WE change colors then, just as we
have been doing"
So the fairies watched and it was
just jolly water battle, but the col
ors Of the fishes were really wonder
full.
It was the talk Of Fairyland for days
and days, for all the fairies went back
and told Of all the wonderful fishes
they had seen and how their colors
changed, and how lovely they were.
1t was indeed an unusual trip.

An aquarium, as you know. is very
large tank filled with water where fish
from far away and near are brought
to live.
All kinds Of fishes that are rare are
brought there, for an aquarium in the
fsb world Ia like ZOO in the animal
world.
Now the fairies thought that some
time very, very early in the morning
they would pay flying visit to the
fighting fishes before any OF the aqua
rum keepers were up and around.
These fishes had come from far
away, and the more they fight the
more they change colors.
They turn from dull grays INTO
bright reds and blues, and all the time
they are fighting they are changing

Children Need Quart Of
Milk Every Day

Besides the protein which makes
milk such valuable source of body
building material, it contains other
substances which make it most COM
plete food. Milk is rich in calcium
and phosphorus, which are essential
for building bones, teeth. and for reg
ulating body processes in general.
The iron in milk, though low in
amount, is readily available. Vita
Minis A and B are abundant in milk
and Vitamins G and D are present in
smaller degree. Each child in the
family should have quart Of clean,
wholesome milk every day.

Ques.-L. M: How did the express

Ans.-This expression is found in
a poem written by William Ross Wal

Rules the World"
Ques.-E. j.: Can ants do any harm
to spruce trees and other evergreen
trees? Last year a number of tama-
racks died and when cutting them
down this spring they were hollow
and full of ants. l wonder if this is
what caused them to die. Seems as
green's this spring. l have circles of
stones around them; would it help
to remove them?
Ans.-AS far as Is known ants do
not harm spruce trees or other ever
green's. Some species prey on other
insects for their food and are the
carnivorous ants. Some ants are pas
toral deriving their food from plants
but more often from an insect which
is generally known as the dairy COW
of the ants and from which they get
honey. And the agricultural ants get
their food from seeds. The reason for
the presence of ants in your trees
is due to the fact that they often use
these holloWs as nests. More often
they are found under stones and dead
logs. 1t would perhaps help to re-
move the stones but as long as the
ants are not assumed to be responsible
for the damage done to your trees
this should not be necessary. Have
you noticed any signs of pine moths
