There was no rickets until window
glass was introduced as a factor In
human civilization. Window glass
prevents the passing Of ultraviolet
rays and ricketts, resulted. It Is con-
ceivable that the relief Of this de-
ficiency by modern methods Of pro-
viding vitamin D may result in great
advancement for humanity.
Vitamin D In the form OF concen-
tratton, usch as viosterol, In the form
Of irradiation, or in the form Of Ger
tain foods, Is not q panacea for the
diseases Of mankind. It has not been
established that it will prevent the
common cold or that it will cure any
thing but rickets. It does have defin-
ite effects on the blood and on the
human body generally, leading to i'm
provement in health. In certain
forms Of tuberculosis and improper
development Of the bones, the vita
min D may have special value.
The all or nothing policy which we
adopt toward our treatments Of dis
eases, indeed toward improving our
health, has led particularly to over
exploitation Of this vitamin.

Vitamin D Aids in General Improvement

Not Panacea for Diseases of Mankind But Is Known to
Have Definite Relation to Blood

No one knows exactly how much
vitamin d. IS necessary for adult
health; no one Is certain as to the
extent Of improvement that it may
bring about IN the growth and de-
velopment Of a child. It has been
established that boys and girls enter
ing colleges this year are, for the
same age, on an average taller and
heavier than their parents who en-
tered IS years ago. It Is conceivable
that the proper use Of such vita
minis in the diet viii result In bigger
and better men and finer mental
tiles and with greater resistance to
disease.

A Lesson in Poise

James Kemp, 63, is an example Of
supreme poise. He is steeple- jack
who was working at the top Of a
150-foot chimney in Rochester, N. Y,
when the scaffolding broke. His COM
panion fell to the ground and was
killed. Kemp grasped a rope and
landed on a narrow chimney ledge.
He faced death for two hours. Fire
men tried to rescue him but their
ladders were too short. Planes tried
to lower ropes, but stiff wind blew
them away Finally ropes which
made a swing were tossed over the
chimney and the old steeplejack
came down.
When he was safe he quietly ex-
planned that he knew better than to
let the thing get him. He wouldn't
think about danger he said. Prac-
tically everyone can profit from his
experience. Human nature has a
habit Of flying off the handle that
would prove dangerously disastrous
If something went wrong at the top
of a 150-foot chimney.

EIOwers for the Living


S. r. Patton, an 80-year old farmer
Of Benton, ILL.,, attended his own
funeral the other day. But he didn't
repose in a pearl-gray coffin. He sat
very straight and listened to what
the preacher had to say. He enjoyed
the funeral and heard so many ap-
preciative things about himself that
he doesn't want to stage a bona fide
funeral for long time.
Several weeks ago Patton learned
that his relatives and friends were
planning a birthday party for him.
He asked if they would mind making
it a funeral instead. He explained
that he wanted to enjoy it.
The idea isn't such a bad one at
that. OF course ministers would
wear out their texts and funeral
quartets would feel like throwing
their hymn books in the River Jor-
dan if every man, woman and child
suddenly decided that he wanted an
eulogistic service while he can enjoy
1t.
But when people are old, when
they know for a certainty that the
long road is going to end around the
next bend, or the next, when their
caravans are composed pretty much
of memories, it is rather fine to let
them know that they have been ap-
preciated as they came down the
pathway of the years.
Old men dream dreams. Their pc
riod of visions is over. When the
wanderlust creeps into their hearts
it carries them through the tangled
fields of long ago. The supreme lone
illness comes in knowing that there
are few people left who belonged to
their questing yesterdays. It IS pitt
fully hard to realize that world
that has sent its ships up toward the
singing stars, and fathoms deep un-
der the sea, can't be much interested
in what they have done-or what
they wished they had done.
Patton knows now that his friends
and his community appreciate him.
and that they are going to be q little
lonely when he waves last goodbye.
He knows that they appreciate the
fact that he has grown old cheer
fully and bravely, with a song in his
heart and a lantern in his hand. The
rest of his life will be based on the
that came at his funeral.
1t shouldn't be necessary to hold
funeral services for old people in or
der to pay tribute. Some other means
should be applied to the method Of
showing appreciation.
But when a man or a woman Is
old, and little lonely, it isn't any
more foolish to let him know that he
was blessing to his generation than
it is to wait until he is dead and tell
the public about it. 81

New York, Sept. 10.-Excerpts from
q letter to certain Canadian guide,
known to me only as Mac:
Running around through the city
crowds again, Mac, I found myself
chuckling at that talk we had by the
camp fire about city folks who laugh
at rubes and backwoodsmen. And
you smiled and said I ought to drop
around and listen to the strieks that
went up when guides got together
to swap yarns about the city folks
they had taken into the woods.
"And now that It's all over with,
I'll come clean about that big trout
on the string. You can tell the fell
lows in the camp that you caught it.
I don't know why we lie about such
matters at the time, but lot Of us
do. It doesn't make bit Of differ
ence to you whether or not you dis
play nice string, and so I don't ex-
pect you to worry about how q ten
derfoot gets that way. Please don't
tell the bunch up there how I let
that whopper get away from me the
first day. And will not spill how
you snagged that nice one with a
quick jerk Of your fly.
Y y y
"But there's something New York
ese or Chicagoesque about the way
you told me Of q moose hunt. OF
course, you didn't know that. But
don't think I'll come up this fall.
That last sentence you put on your
description has stuck in my mind. It
had bit too much imagination in
it for comfort. II ever go moose
hunting, I'm afraid I'll keep remem-
bering it.
Maybe you've forgotten. But you
went on to tell how the hunters rose
in the chill, early dawn; how a couple
Of 'em would take q long swig of
whiskey to warm up. Then you went
down to the bog. You got cut the
little bark horn and gave the call of
the female moose. After a time from
somewhere miles away in the woods,
came an answer. Some poor moses
heart skipped couple of beats prob
ably at the notion of a rendezvous
and he came slowly crashing his way
through the brush to the trysting
place.

"Then, as remember, you went on:
And then we stand and wait. And
there's q lot Of excitement because
you don't know what minute the old
fellow is going to show up. And you
don't know whether he's going to
scent you. You don't even dare
smoke. You don't even dare call very
often, or he'll get wise. Maybe after
a half hour or so you dare call again

The Filipinos Again
[CI n>al Hl.>A>AA

The Philippine independence ques-
ton IS taking shape for next winter
controversy in Congress. The issue
has been given new impetus because
of sentiment in the South and the
Northwest for turning the islands
loose SO that their vegetable oils may
be excluded from this country where
they compete with American animal
and vegetable fats.
Senator Halves Of Missouri has
just returned from the. Philippines
more convinced than ever that the
Filipinos want independence and that
they should therefore have it. Secre-
tary Of War Hurley has just arrived
at Manila. His viewpoint is the "fea-
sibility" of independence. He wishes
to determine whether the islands are
ready to stand alone and will report
back to President Hoover.
All Of these elements are impor-
tant and must be given consideration
in determination of this grave deci-
sion. If America went into the Phil
ippines 80 years ago simply to exploit
them, then there is nothing more
complicated involved than to draw
up balance sheet Of profits and
losses and be governed accordingly.
TO free the islands because the fl
nancial return is not up to expecta-
tions would be just as degrading and
shameful as to hold them because
the profits were good.
AS a matter Of fact Senator Hawes
is for complete independence but not
Immediately and only conditionally.
There would be a seven-year period,
during which the Filipinos would be
gradually subjected to the American
tariff. At the end of that time 3
plebiscite would be held and If the
vote were for independence, it would
be granted. Some such plan as this
must form the basis of any inde-
pendence scheme.
