SIXTEEN YEARS AGO THESE
LEGS WERE BOWED

Some 16 years ago l wrote you con-
corning precious 6-months-old boy
about bowlegs. 1t all turned out as
you said-they did straighten out
beautifully. Today the boy is try
ing to get into the Military Academy
at West Point. He is II years old
and won the first alternate appoint
ment when he graduated from high
school. But he is much perturbed
lest he fail on account of his stature
He is just feet inches tall. His
father is feet 7l2 inches tall and I
am 5 feet 6 inches tall. The military
academy authorities seem shocked at
the boys low stature. Why has he
not grown? He weighed pounds
and a few ounces at birth-he was
the first born of twins. His twin
brother lived only two days. Is there
any hope of increasing his stature
now?-tSigned by the boys mother)
l don't know whether it would be
possible to add that little inch the
military regulations prescribe. If the
boys physician will take an interest
in the attempt it would at least be
worth while trying to make the grade.
l would suggest these two lines of
treatment:
/. Two doses of insulin daily,
which must be administed hypoder-
mically shortly before the regular
meal time. Any good physician can
show any intelligent child or adult
how to take his own insulin. A course
of insulin injections will definitely
increase the weight Of almost any
underweight individual, and it doesn't
matter at all whether the individual
has or has not diabetes, SO the old
fossil practitioner can't laugh this off
on that score. Some striking benefits
have been obtained by this use of
insulin for the specific purpose of
improving nutrition in various condi-
tons aside from diabetes, among
them simple underWeipht. emaciation

Guest Editorials

The American Legion, striving to
do its bit to restore normally in the
country and intensely interested in
maintaining the spirit Of true Amer
icanism among our people, has asked
a number of leading citizens to ex-
press their views on existing condi-
tons as they affect the welfare Of the
nation.
The list includes financiers, labo,
leaders and others who have attained
eminence in their chosen field.
These expressions, which are writ
ten in editorial form, have been Of
fered to the newspapers Of America
by the Legion with the suggestion
that they be printed as Guest Edi-
torials"
The Tribune will print some OF
them and the first is presented in

VIENNA BREAD RIOTS

On June %, 1918, bread riots broke
out in Vienna after the Vienna City
Council had passed resolution pro-
testing against the reduction of the
bread ration. The same day nine
strikers were killed and SO wounded
in Budapest in conflict between po-
lice and railroad workers.
Bulgaria, under the dictatorship of
A. Malinoff, formed a new cabinet.
Italian warships cooperated with
troops and enlarged the Piave bridge

easier for the ships to get within
striking distance of the Austrian
lines.
Vienna at this time reported a to-
tai of 10000 Austro- Hungarian troops

likelihood that even Tony Toscalli
would start a shooting fray in the

2. A course of ductless gland hor-
none medication. Whether this
should be thyroid or pituitary or ad-
renal gland hormone or a combina-
! ton of two or three of these is a
question which the boys own physi-
clan can best determine if any such
treatment is to be tried at all. Ger
tainly this type of treatment has
brought about marked growth in
height in number of instances
where growth was much retarded in
childhood, and this boy is still a
child.
In case these suggestions prove ap-
parently helpful we hope Mother
won't wait 16 years to tell us about
it, for probably there are many other
young persons who would give al
most anything to add a wee bit to
their stature If that is to be con-
Summated.
Sixteen years ago We didn't know
well, I forget just what we didn't
know then, but probably we didn't
know enough to tell that mother to
feed her baby a good plain cod liver
oil ration daily from the age of one
month to the end of the first year,
beginning with 10 drops or so, mixed
with. a little orange or tomato juice
on the spoon, twice daily, and gradu-
ally increasing the daily ration till at
four or six months the baby takes a
teaSpOOnful two or three times a day.
That is enough. It supplies the sun
shine vitamin D, also vitamin A.
Probably We didn't know then that
lots of sunshine on babys naked skin
prevents ricketts, and bowling of legs
and retardation of growth, too. These
things won't hurt any young person
who aspires to grow more.

chusetts law Ii being carried on
or whether II Is those who wish
to trap animals for sport or profit
that are objecting to restrictions
on the use Of the steel trap.
The Implications In the drive
against the steel trap law In Mas
sachusetts are more than state
wide. Throughout the United
States sentiment against cruelty to
wild as we'll as domestic animals
has been growing steadily. And
not only In America but In Europe
as we'll the public conscience has
shown signs of rebelling at the
moral price II must pay for the
skins OF animals taken cruelty.
From the fur industry itself has
come the admission that some bet
ter way Of obtaining skins should
be found. And partly as q result or
this and for purely business rea-
sons the fur raising industry has
come into existence.
It may be that some jealous per-
sons would carry the campaign
against the steel trap further than
Ia warranted by conditions at the
moment. In attempting to abolish It
completely they may be acting
without complete knowledge Of
what the farmer has to contend
with In regions overrun with GER
tain animals. Or they may be en-.
PERTAINING somewhat exaggerated
ideas about the efficiency or
humaneness of substitute traps.
But In defending or demanding
laws which may serve to restrict
the steel trap to uses of farm pro-
lection they are acting well within
the bounds of reason. Insofar az
they do this they are worthy OF
whole hearted support and are no
doubt fastening the day when
farmers will have more humane
and more reliable protection from
wild animals than Is afforded pyl
the steel trap.
