Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

Many of the ills which past genera
ton accepted stoically have been found
unnecessary. We still hear frequently
of growing pains" but now We know
that physical growth is not a painful
process and that when a child suffers
with pains in the joints of the legs it
indicates conditions of health or diet
which need remedying.
Mrs. F. H. writes: MY boy of z
wakes at night crying with pains in
his legs. He is a healthy looking young
ster. though rather pale, and I would
like to know what causes these. I rub
his legs with warm oil and this brings
relief"
There are various reasons for what
used to be called growing pains"
Chief of these is a mild scurvy. due
probably at this season from eating an
exclusively cooked diet without the
fresh elements of fruits or vegetables
rich in vitan1in G. Another cause OF
growing pains" is rheumatic fever.
This may go on for some time without
the parents being aware that the child
is sick enough for medical attention.
BY the time medical aid is sought I'M
told damage may have been done the
heart.
It is unwise to soothe these pains only
by local mec SureS and to bolster up the
child's courage by telling him he is get
ting to be a big boy and this is just
sign of that growth. This simply post
pones the day when real cure will re-
suit in rapid relief and cure of the pains
If the pains are due to a mild scurvy,
they clear up speedily If more vitamin

glass of lemonade is welcome and
refreshing drink after school.
In some communities where fresh
vegetables and even fresh fruits are
luXuries during the Geld months, IT Is
possible for families to go for weeks
without sufficient of this particular Irish
element, and a mild and not easily rec
ognizable form of scurvy may develop
in that length of time.
Decayed teeth and infected tonSilS are
capable also of distributing infective
material throughout the system. Joints
are favorite harborS for this material
with resultant discomfort and pain.
You can help the child best by seeing
that he has a proper diet; you will make
no mistake by altering the diet to ac-
cord with that suitable for the child
from to IL years. which differs In no
way for the healthy child of seven
years. If you will inclose q self-ad-

FOOD PROBLEMS
BY SALLIE MONROE.

In making mashed sweet potatoes,
either mash them with a masher and
add plenty of butter, or else rice them
carefully and depend on gravy or butter
added at the table to give them the
moisture and tat they need.
In croquettes they are delicious. Mash
the boiled sweet potato and season it
well with pepper and salt. Then roll
it into balls or other croquette forms,
dip in beaten egg and fine crumbs and
fry in deep fat.
Spanish Simmer a cup of
canned tomatoes, drained of most Of
their juice, but with enough added to
keep them soft, for five minutes with
one tablespoonful of sugar. Melt three
tablespoonfuls Of butter in a saucepan
or skillet, add the tomatoes, a salt
spoonful of salt and four beaten eggs.
Cook, stirring constantly. until the mix
ture is creamy. Serve on thin slices Of
hot, buttered whole-wheat bread toast.

Turkish face cloths are too bulky for
this purpose. Rinse the soap out of

frequently a hostess or club is inter-

STOCKS co HIGHER
At SHORT SESSION
Active Issues Gain as Mar.
ket Displays Show of
Strength.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, December 5.-Recover-
ing from it's fright over the German sit
uation, todays week end stock market
staged a substantial rally. The assur-
anceS given by the German Fascist
leader as to commercial debts had their
effect, not only in the bond market, but
in the share list as well, and the result
was a welcome show of strength.
How much Of the improvement was
due to short covering cannot be SAID
but one thing was evident-there was
no pressing liquidation. For the moment
at least the market was bare of large
offerings. Mark exchange was down SO
points at the opening, but recovered a
part TO the loss later. Bank stocks,
which had gone off Friday with Ger
man bonds, were moderately higher,
and that helped the stock market also.
Active Issues Recover.
All the active issues in which opera
tons for the decline had been carried
on in recent weeks were | to 2 points
higher. Auburn Auto ran up over 5
points, rejecting the strong technical
zation of less than 100000 shares and
short account that is believed to
approach in size the floating supply.
Another stock that gave signs of an
oversold condition was American Tele-
phone & Telegraph In this case the
floating supply is, Of course, adequate
for any normal borrowing demand but
peSsimism on the outlook has been over
done. The stock for some time has
been supported around 125 and it was
3 to 4 points above that level today.
United States Steel, Allied Chemical and
American Can rallied moderately. OF
the three, American Can met the larger
offerings on the advance.
The rails gave much better account
of themselves and that was regarded
as highly favorable omen. Chesa-
peake & Ohio and Atchison were
especially prominent. The lower priced
railroad issues Jagged, with new low
for Erie common.
The Street was looking forward to
President Hoover's message to Congress
for constructive suggestions. 1t was par
ticularly interested in the possibility OF
organizing something similar to the War
Finance Corporation. Probably because
there was no exact information as to
what would be done along this line,
shorts were all the more willing to take
in their contracts over the week end.
Steel Trade News.
News from the steel trade was mildly
optimistic. Youngstown reported that
production in certain lines would be
increased next week to the highest level
in three months. There were also indi-
cations of a hardening of the price
structure Electric Auto Lite declared
the regular quarterly dividend of ST.
on its common stock, coincident with
the announcement that 300 workers
had been added to its Toledo plant this
week.
