Inform Children
About the
Stork

Prepare the older child for
the new baby's arrival. Moth
ing is crueler than to permit
an only child, heretofore the
center of his small universe, to
suddenly discover there is an
other sun in his orbit.
He will resent his rival. And
the baby brother or sister who
should be the darling of his
heart as well as that of the
rest Of the households, will be
only that nasty little baby"
Let the older child help in
preparing for the expected ar
rival. In selecting a name.
Talk Of the coming brother or
sister with him. It is the BIG
SECRET he shares with you.
It is the. simplest thing in
the world to do, And If neg
lected the situation which may
develop is one of the most
harmful.

AMPLE SUNLIGHT MAY CURB RICKETS
VariousI Illnesses
Come in Wake
Of Disease

Ricketts, is a disease very com
mon in infancy and early child
hood. It affects the whole
body. but most strikingly the
bones, which may becom e
greatly deformed, and the mus.
cleS, which may become weak
and flabby. It is caused by
lack of sunlight and of a Spe-
cial substance found in some
foods, called vitamin D. The
food that contains the most
vitamin D is cod-liver oil. A
few other foods contain some
vitamin D, but not enough to
depend upon for the prevention
Of ricketS.
Milk, although an essential
food for infants and children,
contains too little vitamin D to
protect them from ricketts,.
Vitamin D is present in vioS-
terol "a medicine made by
treating a substance called
Grgos ter OIL with ultraviolet
1ight) and in certain foods
that have been so treated.
Viosterol or irradiated foods
should not be used unless or
dered by a physician.
Artificially-fed babies are
more likely to develop rickets
than breaSt-fed b bies, but
breaSt-feeding does not prevent
it. If a nursing mother gets
plenty of sunshine her milk
will help to protect the baby
from ricketS, but he needs sun,
shine and cod-liver oil also.
RicketS Likely
A rapidly growing baby is
more likely to develop ricketts,
than a baby who is growing
more slowly. A premature baby
Is especially likely to develop
ricketts,, as he grows faster dur
ing the early months of life
than a full-term, normal baby.
In general it is the children
that get the most sun who do
not develop ricketts,. Rickets is
seldom found in hot climates,
where the ultraviolet rays in
the sun are strong and where
most children are outdoors in
the sun throughout the year
and wear few clothes. It is
common in temperate climates,
where the ultraviolet rays are
weaker, where cold weather
keeps children indoors q great

Presidents s Edict

In proclamation issued March 81 President Roose-
welt named May l as National Child Health Day
His proclamation read:
Whereas, the Congress by joint resolution has
authorized and requested the President of the United
States Of America to proclaim annually that May Day
is Child Health Day; and
Whereas, the health and welfare of our children
not only their parents but also the nation at
large; and
Whereas, the observation of such day gives us
opportunity to unite in furhering the health and pro-
lection Of our children; now
Therefore, T. Franklin D. Roosevelt President of
the United States of America, do hereby designate
May Of this year Child Health Day. and call upon
all agencies, public and private and all individuals
having the interest of children at heart to set aside
that for earnest consideration of the needs of the
children in their communities and in their homes and
to naugurate constructive activities to protect and pro-
mote the health and physical vigor Of the youth of
our nation'

severe complication of ricketts,
is a disease called tetany, from
which the child may die.
Pelvic Bones
Narrowing Of the pelvic bones
Is an unfortunate result of
ricketts,, especially in girl
babies, for after the little girl
grows up it may be found that
this deformity makes normal
child-bearing difficult or even
impossible.
Since ricketts, most often be-
gins in babies in the first
months of life, measures to
prevent it should be begun
very early. So many babies
have ricketts, before anyone
knows it that every baby
should be given sun baths and
cod-liver oil to protect him
from this disease. It is easier
to prevent rickets than to
cure it,
The Washington times., 1933-05-01

deal, and where more clothing
is worn. It is especially COM
mon in large cities, where peo-
pie are crowded and where
smoke and dust cut off the
ultraviolet rays of the sun.
A baby may have ricketS
long before his mother notices
anything wrong with him
long before his legs become
badly bowed or before other
deformities of the bones ap-
pear-for the disease may start
early in infancy and develop
slowly. Plenty of sunlight and
cod-liver oil at this early stage
will save him from developing
rickets and from such results
as bone deformities and poor
teeth.
If a child's chest bones are
greatly deformed by severe
rickets, the deformity may pre-
vent his lungs from expanding
properly and he may be more
subject to lung infections such
as bronchitis and pneumonia.
Besides, a child who has rick
cts is not able to throw off in
fections as a normal child does.
Thus, although ricketts, itself
does not cause death, it may
have complications that do. A

GET IN LINE TO DRIVE FORWARD

Secretary Department of T.

That shorter work week, with no
decrease in the weekly wage is the
only road out of present conditions.
cannot be denied, even by those most
hostile to the objects of the Amer
lean labor movement.
The demand for a five-day, thirty
hour week is a step in the right direc-
tion to accomplish this purpose, but
only step. No one knows whether
a shortening of the work week thus
far will absorb the millions of idle
workers, but once instituted, it would
be a good 'yard stick" with which
to determine just what hours of la
Dor would be necessary to accomplish
this purpose
The workers have never had i'm
proved conditions of labor handed to
them on silver platter All progress
made in this direction has come only
through organization, backed by a
fighting spirit and determination
to win the relief demanded.
Organization and still more organ
ization of the workers is absolutely
necessary if anything worth while is
to be accomplished in securing a
shorter work week.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1933-01-27

All of us have a solemn obligation
resting on us now. This is no time
to listen to Grape hangers" or to the
fellows who say, "It can't be done" !"
Every one must get in line for for
ward drive, similar to the spirit of
those who have preceded us, and who
made our labor movement possible.
Instea of standing on the side
lines fault finding and spreading
gloom, let us do our best to encourage
that latent fighting spirit in our
membership and replace dependency
with a militant spirit which is bound
to win.
Anything that is worth having is
worthy of our best efforts to secure.
A better and stronger organization is
what we need to bring about that
shorter work week which will COM
pletely disband the twelve million
army of unemployed.
No better time to start this work
than now. No better volunteer organ
izers to aid in this campaign can be
secured than those of our members
who try intellectually to do their
part in this needed work.

The records are based on dollar sales.
The boards index makes no attempt
to estimate the relative decline in
volume of merchandise sold. Accord

drop in volume was approximately IL
