 It shows how modern living conditions rob us of Vitamin D, the vitamin that helps build strong bones and teeth-the only one of the vitamins not obtainable by selection of natural foods.
 Vitamin D is developed naturally in the body by sunshine. Sunshine, as you know, is made up of
 many different kinds of rays Some we feel as radi- ant heat Some are light waves of all colors. Theray that creates Vitamin D is light wave just beyond the limit of our eyesight- invisible ultraviolet
 But unfortunately most sunshine, and especially most of the ultraviolet, is kept from us. We live too far north, for one reason. During seven or eight months of fall and winter the sun remains too low in the southern sky and ultraviolet waves like the suns heat waves, are then less intense.
 Even in summer these rays are shut out by clouds and by the smoke, soot dust, and shade ot city lfe Clothing building walls and even window glass completely absorb this source of Vitamin b.
