"Too much had gone into excessive

The other 10 per cent Of complaints,
the administrator continued, came from
the effect Of price stabilization and
other regulatory practices. These were
being examined, he said, and true ex-
ploitation would be stopped. For this
purpose, he added, the President had

Nye with an amendment by Senator
Norris. to set up a board which shall

Importance of vitamin D in pre- venting rickets and the need for a i, more universal use of sources known to be rich in this vitamin was emphasized by the state de- partment of health in it's weekly bulletin to-day.
 It is well known that cod liver oil is the richest source of vitamin D and here this has been admin istered regularly on advice of the family physician and when children have been put out in the sunlight each day both winter and summer, rickets has been prevented. But there are too many people who have not yet taken advantage of these measures, so rickets still pre-
 vails.
 The importance of vitamin D
 has been known .ince 1921 when it was shown to be the essential health factor in cod liver oil which for years had been used as an anti rachitic. About the same time, 1t was discovered that vitamin D also developed in the body when the skin was exposed to the ultra violet rays of direct sunlight, so both cod liver oil and exposure of children to sunlight has been pre- scribed. In northern cities in the winter season, however, the ultra
 violet rays of the sun are often ob- scured by clouds and dusty smoky atmosphere, so the use of cod liver oil becomes more essential in the prevention of rickets.
 Certain foods contain vitamin D, notably yolks of eggs, butter fat

PLANNING FIGHT
 FOR PENSION ACT
Effort Will Be Made to Get Measure Passed Next
 Year If Possible

Half dozen citizens, all more
 or less active in democratic poli- tics, not as office holders but workers for party nominees, held
 a session last night and exchanged opinions on candidates for the gen. eral assembly at the coming state
 election. None of them had Q
 candidate, but all made no bones of stating that whoever is entered in the race this year should be
 pledged to work energetically for
 the passage of an old age pension act. This was considered the most far reaching question that will come before the legislature, and steps should be taken to see that
 men favorable to the proposition
 are sent to Hartford.
 It was stated that a movement
 is on foot to conduct campaign
 all over the state before nomina- tions are made and endeavor to impress upon both parties the ne-
 cessity of making it a condition for the nomination on the part of
 candidates of both parties. The old
 age pension matter had lot oi backing few years ago, but for some reason which nobody pres ent could explain, it seems to be dropping out of sight. One of the group read an article in which Mrs Roosevelt was credited with being very active in support of an old age pension measure for residents of the District of Columbia.
 The Order of Eagles has done
 much to bring the matter to the attention of the general assembly
 but to get the act passed the pub
 lie will have to take it in hand.

,and milk which although not a rich
 source is important because of the
 amount of milk used daily in the
 normal diet. As early as 1924, the
 bulletin says, attempts were made to enrich certain cereals with vita-
 min D by irradicating them with ultra violet light to render them antirachitic. More recently, at tempts have been made to in- crease vitami D in milk and vari- ous methods have been developed l to accomplish this. Among these are the following: feeding the COW irradiated yeast; irradiating milk; adding vitamin D concentrate to the milk. All have been more or
 less successful. Adoption of these measures will require much standardization and supervision and regulation as to la
 beling and potency before use of them becomes a universal practice. The bulletin explains the need for other important elements such
 as calcium and phosphorus, and
 says that low supply of calcium, the chief source of which is milk, definitely retards growth of the bony structure and the teeth, while an .overabundant supply Of this element has been shown to be a factor in promoting optimum
 health and even in extending life
 beyond normal expectancy.

Their Arrest Revealed

A month, two months passed. It was Christmas, then New Years. And suddenly one day in mid-Jan- uary, the mystery was a mystery no longer. The Italian government announced that Professor Eydoux and Mademoiselle Bonnefond with out the knowledge of anybody in France save their families and the foreign office, had been held in an Italian prison since the day of their uncanny disappearance. They were charged, the announcement added. with being military spies.
 At once Paris seethed with con- tradictory rumors concerning the pair. They had been caught
 sketching fortifications and would probably be put to death. Mo- not
 at all-the Italian government had slipped up this time. The two could prove that they had only
 heen making water coloc studies of the scenery and so they were about to be released.
