Your !. Health
And Diet
By LOGAN CLENDENING, M. D.

BY LOGAN CLENDENING, M. d
For many years cod liver oil
was regarded as a good gen.
eral tonic. When very scien-
tific physicians asked the old
practitioners exactly how 1t
worked and what it did, why
it was different from any
other fat, the old fellows were
forced to confess that they
did not know. but they still
seemed to think it toned peo-
pie up. especially babies.
Then Prof. Mellanby, in
England, reported in 1918 that
he could produce that IA
miliar old disease Of babies
rickets, in puppies by feeding
! them on a diet of nothing ex-
cept cereal and skinned milk.
Rickets, to put it very briefly
! is a disease in which the bones
remain soft, and in which lime
salts are not deposited in them.
Mellanby's puppies, when K
| rayed, were seen to have bones
which resembled very closely
the bones of babies with
ricketS.
+ When he added cod liver oil
to the puppies diets rickets
/ failed to appear. This also
! happened when certain other
! fats were used, and Mellanby
concluded that the substance
. which prevented ricketts, was
Vitamin A, which, as We have
seen, is also fat-soluble.
! However, an American nutri-
>, ZIONIST, McCollom, in 1922
. proved that Vitamin A was a
! separate substance. He passed
a stream of oxygen through
hot cod liver oil. Vitamin A
is destroyed by this procedure,
! but the cod liver oil so treated
would still prevent ricketts, in
dogs. The conclusion was that
it contained some other sub
stance which resisted deStruc-
tion by oxygen. This substance
was named Vitamin D.
About the same time a Ger
man physician, HuldschinSky,
working in Berlin during and
! directly after the world war,
announced that rickets could
be prevented and cured by sun
! light and ultraviolet radiation.
! This fact, which greatly puz-
! Zfed the Investigators of the
, dietary origin of ricketS, really
furnished the clue to the ma
! ture of Vitamin D.
: Hess. of New York, and
! Steenbock. of Wisconsin, indie
! pendently showed that the sub
! stance which prevents and
cures ricketS can be produced
J in a number of animal and
plant structures by exposure
! to the rays of mercury va
por lamp, or carbon arc lamp.
The substance which is thus
activated has been found to
be ergosterol. 1t is found in
small quantities widely in ma
ture. One place where it is
! found IS the human skin, and
sunlight acting on ergosterol
in the skin produces Vita.

The Beauty Box

she is blessed with a lovely

z made an opening bid of
2-No TrumpS. Y tried in vain
to play the hand at Clubs, but
each Club declaration resulted
in a higher no-trump contract.
When 6-No Trumps had been
bid over 6-Clubs, Y dropped out.
The opening lead was the j
of Diamonds. Dummy's Q won
the trick. Very properly
Dummy's j of Clubs was led,
hoping to coax a cover in case
B held the missing Q, as that
would insure fulfillment of the
small slam contract, with one
trick over the contract CTWo
Spades, two Hearts, six Clubs,
and three Diamonds).
When B played the 3 OF clubs,
instead of covering with the
@, as hoped, z should have
played his K, then led his Ace,
and shot back his last club,
to clear dummy'S suit before
the only entry (the K of dia-
monds) was played. Instead of
doing this sane thing, z let
dummy's j ride, and AS Q won
the trick. A saw six clubs
in dummy; he held three cards
of the suit, making nine; B
had played the 3. and z the 2,
leaving only the Ace and (
missing. No matter who held
those last two missing clubs,
A knew that all he had to do
was to remove dummy's K OF
diamonds, and the boarded
hand would be poWerless. Hav-
ing won his club trick, A led
his lowest diamond and dummy
was in the lead, with the
long club suit hopeessly
blocked.
Being unable to do anything
with clubs, the declarer led a
heart from dummy and lost to
AS Q on finesse of the j.
A shot back a diamond. z
won with his Ace. That gave
the declarer his third diamond
trick. All he could do was to
run off his top cards; two
spades; two hearts: two clubs;
these added to his three dia-
mond tricks gave the declarer
just nine tricks, or three tricks
less than he had bid.
If the declarer had played
the hand correctly he must
have won five club tricks, three
diamond tricks, two spade
tricks and two heart tricks.
This would have given him just
IL tricks total, without taking
a finesse. Certainly he made
a minimum score on his enor-
nous hand.
Tomorrow the solution of the
following problem will appear.
Think it over in the mean
while. How many can z make
at spades? The opening lead
is the K Of clubs.

Married In Haste, Repents at
At Leisure
Dear Miss Fairfax:

Dear Miss Fairfax:
I'm 10, and I went with Tom
for three years. We quarreled
last year and broke up, and I
married another boy whom I.
don't love, and, fortunately have
never lived with as his wife.
My parents won't let Tom come
to see me, but I go with Ger
tain girls and meet Tom with
them. My husband is in dis.
tant city. Tom and I quarrel
because he sees me talking
with other boys and occasion
ally I have a date. At present
he is angry for this very rea-
son. Would it be better to
stay mad, or go with someone
else? MARGIE.
You're married woman,
Margie, and seem to have no
idea of the seriousness of mar
riage or it's obligation. May
I suggest that you read over
the promises you made when
you married this other boy, who
doesn't seem to come into your
calculations at all.
AS you've never lived with
him as his wife, and do not
love him, it might be we'll for
you to talk over with your
parents the advisability of a
divorce or annulment. When
you're legally free, it will be
time to make up your mind as
to the wisdom of the next Sten.

Dear Mrs Beeckman:
Is it proper to send a card Of

though you have never met
her? IN QUESTION.
I think it would be a very
charming idea, and most
friendly and gracious, if you
wish to write her a little note

When Manners
Are Correct
A Friendship

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
About a year ago we came
to a small village to live and
we we're invited to call on a
family whom we like very
much, but, vwing to social
negligence on our part, we
failed to make the call. We
see them still, quite often, and
we both always speak, but I
feel that I never responded in
the proper manner at the time
I should have. Is it too late
to overcome my social error,
and take up a friendship which
I feel would have been pleas
ant? I know that I offended
them but they have been nice
enough to overlook my de-
ficiency and have gone out of
their way to cover up the
hurt which was apparent at
the time. T.
I'm sure that it isn't 100
late to do something about
this, and to start the friendly
relationship that you wish, and
that apparently they too would
welcome. Since there was
nothing intentional in your ne
glect, and since they are such
sensible people that they see
there wasn't, I'd now plan 20
take up the reins of friendh-
ness.
An invitation to dinner Is
probably the most hospitable OF
invitations and the most i'm
portant, and so I suggest that
you extend this invitation.
.Trite the woman a note of
invitation; this would be bet
ter than a telephone call, un-
der the circumstances, for this
gives her chance to do what
she wishes to do about the
invitation. Set a definite time,
of course, and have your din
ner beautifully arranged and
prepared, and have every ele-
ment of your hospitality sug-
geSt your wish to extend the
best of hospitality.

boys. suddenly he stopped
coming to see me for no rea-
son at all. I saw him a few
times with another girl and
he just said Hello" About
two weeks ago he called to
take me for a ride in his new
car. He said he was sorry
for the way he had acted and
then told me he would call
some evening. He hasn't been
around since. I like him very
much. Should I return his
pin, or do YOU think I should
keep it until he asks for it?
He is 19 and I am IT.
KAY"
If you return the pin when
he hasn't asked for it, it will
stress the Importance of your
friendship with this boy more
than it warrants. It's Squarely
up to a girl whether she feels
like putting up with young
man who drops out, gives no
explanation and then, like the
cat of tradition, comes back.
Is it going to hurt you more
to drop him entirely, or to
wait patiently until he has an
other impulse to call you up?
You've got to weigh these two
sides of the question. Person
ally, I'm for independence, but
sometimes results are achieved
by watchful waiting. plus the
ability not to mind an occa-
Sional cold shoulder.

FIOridian Explains
One native Floridian, veteran
of crime, added a word of explain
alton about cruelty in prison
camps.
He said:
"The camp guards are always
looking for a victim to show the
camp they are hard boiled. So
they pick on one of these young
Northern boys, getting his first
taste of Jail and not even know
ing what it's all about.
They'll club hell out Of him
for a while to humble him, be-
cause he Oesn't have enough
CUTS to fight back. If he does,
they kill him like they killed
Maillefert, but they put it down
that he was a hard-bOiled, bad
actor.
"They say that about MailIe-
fert. Sure he was hard. He
was a life guard up North,
mingling with nice people and
living right. He was tough
physically. They couldn't break
his spirit. He had CUTS. So
they broke his body and he
died.
HELP FAR AWAY
"They don't treat many of
our Florida boys that way.
There's a reason. If you ham,
mer a Florida boy around, he
soon gets a chance to tell his
folks about it, and a guard is
likely to have the family. come
out hunting him.
But with a Northern boy,
it's different. His people are
a thousand miles away. May
be he hasn't told them where
he is or he says he's working
with a free road gang. The
guards know his people amt
coming to Florida to raise hell
about a few SIapS. Only when
they kill somebody is q hOller

more than a whisper"
The official viewpoint wa
