Your Children
PARENTS.
By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

This is the time of year that mothers begin to think hard about vitamins. The old custom of early spring tonics seems to be deep seated enough in tradition to come to the top of it's own volition, with out the passing of pamphlets or words from the wise.
 By "tonics" is meant the gen. eral pick-me-ups, not necessarily sassafras-tea or sulphur -an'-mo- lasses. We call anything that produces "wim and wigor" today, a tonic. And the things that pro- duce pep and appetite are vita- mins. All this business about thinning the blood is hooey. What most people and children need is thicker or at least better blood when the robins return.
 Instead of getting out the old almanac to refresh memory on re- cipes for doses that send the kids scurrying into the hay-loft, we now hunt up our clippings on vita rnins A, B, c, D and F.
 What vitamins Do If any have lost theirs, per- haps we had better intone the rules. "A" helps eye and res- piratory- tract infection and does other things. Bl, B2, B3, and B4 do something for the nerves and prevent beri-beri. Also pellagra. o prevents scurvy. A great big bouncing D prevents rickets. E prevents sterility.
 Now this isn't much help to any mother, really, because she never knew anyone who had pel- lagra or beri-beri or scurvy. But all that 1t is necessary for her to remember is that these vitanins, (life-giving mysteries) work for good health-conditions in many ways besides the high-sounding names from medical books. All of them add something to what we have and make little bit more Children need them all if they are to be strong and well.
 Foods containing vitamin-vari- ety, plus sunlight Cor cod-liver- oiD, plus milk and fruit, is the best way to get a good mixture inside these strange laboratories our bodies.
 Every sort of vegetable con tains something; but as green ones and leaf plants are the most neglected, they should be stress ed now - such things as lettuce and celery, cabbage, endive, pars- ley, cress. spinach, cauliflower broccoli, chard, kale or othei greens.
 Root vegetables are indispensi- ble too, but perhaps during the winter they have showed out the others. Carrots, potatoes, beets turnips and the various roots are very valuable in vitamin content of another kind and must not be neglected, but being more filling their very bulk has proved an enemy to the above-ground pro- duets.
 Legumes, peas and beans, are nutritive, but here again we have possibly used them to the neglect of variety. MIX, meat, eggs, cereals. fruits

LIVING OVER A GARAGE.

LIVING OVER A GARAGE.
 We live over our place of business writes northern correspondent and wonder if there is any danger to the children's health, from the gas tanks and the service station garage.
 There is no particular danger from the gasoline storage tanks, aside from fire and explosion, but living over a garage where automo- bile engines are run for a few moments at times, either to warm them up or for tuning or other repair or adjustment, involves risks to health and life.
 Even in a garage where nobody lives upstairs or in adjoining apart ments it should be an infiexible rule, if not a law, that an engine shall not be started nor allowed to run when the garage doors are closed, unless flexible pipe is first attached to the exhaust and car- ried out of doors, to protect work CTS or patrons from the danger of carbon nonoxide gassing.
 Garage buildings, particularly small private garages, are general ly constructed cheaply and without much regard for ventilation. There is such a narrow margin between safety and a harmful or fatal pol- lution of air with monoxide gas, that no one can afford to take a chance. It is best to be crank about avoiding such pollution, in- sisting on wide open doors when- ever an engine is started or run in the garage.
 Carbon monoxide gas is odorleSs, gives no warning, often causes the victim to freeze" to become help less for the brief moment when he realizes something is wrong. and SC he sluinps down and quietly suc- cumbs to the gas. It is not itself poisonous, but 1t combines with the hemoglobin of the red corpuscles tc form carbon monoXidhemoglobirl which prevents the remoglobin from carrying oxygen to the cells and tissues. Oxygen starvation, in other words. Carbon monoxid hemoglo- bin is a comparatively stable com pound. and therefore it is difficult to replace it with oxyhemoglobin that is, the blood will not readily take up oxygen and carry it to tho cells and tissues when 1t is saturat. ed with, carbon -monoxid. Artiflcia respiration alone is of little value in monoxide gassing; it is eSsentia that the victim be made to inhalt carbon dioxide, five to ten percent of it mixed with oxygen or air in order to pry the monoxid loose from the hemoglobin.
 A child is more quickly overcome by carbon monoxide than an adult Small animals such as mice, rab- bits, are more quickly overcome than children. A canary is most sensitive and may be carried tC warn of dangerous saturation of tht air with monoxide.
 As little as ten parts of monoxidt in ten thousand parts of air will cause headache and other symp- toms; fifteen to twenty parts will produce dangerous symptoms.
 Characteristic symptoms of mon- oxide gassing are tightness across forehead, headache, flushing of face throbing in temples, dizziness, weak ness, nausea, fainting. loss of con- sciousnesS, perhaps convulsions.

 Sometimes there are also canker sores in the mouth and the breath has a heavy or disagreeable odor. Later shall have more to say about such food sensitivities.

 Too many people believe that there is a special diet for every disease condition that affects a hu- man being, and that diet alone will care all sorts of diseases. No idea could be more mistaken.
 There is nothing magical about food. The elementary principles of diet have already been explained in the early articles of this series.
 Instead of classifying diets as being suitable for individual dis eases, physicians are much more likely nowadays to classify the diets an dthen mention the various con- ditions in which those diets are suitable.
 There are said to be only five va rieties of diet:' reducing, temporary starvation, or semi-starvation; fat tening; high roughage, smooth, soft, bland, or irritating; and tic high vitamin type.
 It is, of course, possible for those who know foods and food qualities to combine them to make the most of the combinations. In general, however, there are certain foods which you should not eat with any kind of diet, if your digestion is cas- fly disturbed.
 Most people have to depend in their diets on certain fundamental foods. These are bread, milk, ce- reals, butter, cheese, eggs. the com- mon fruits and vegetables, some meat and some fish.

Diet Alone Will Not Cure Disease, Though It May Prove Helpful
ToDAY's HEALTH QUESTION

Q.-Kindly advise me how long it takes for pork, beef, anad veal to be digested. This is to settle a debate.
 A.-By digestion o ia food is meant usually the length of time that this food remains in the stomach. According to a table by Penzoldt, raw or broiled beef, lean veal. steak, or raw or scraped beef, all leave the stomach in from three to four hours. O off the meats, pork is the slowest to be di- gested because of its greater fat content.

Rules for good taste in dress ing are the same for every woman, whether she has an extremely lirm- tied budget or a very liberal clothes allowance. She should buy simple dresses and suits-well cut and made of the best materials she can afford.
 It is far better to have one fine dress with two or three different collars than three mediocre outfits that stretch out of shape, fade at the cleaners and look shoddy after the first week.
 Learning to care for your clothes Is as important as knowing how to buy them. Why get beautifully tailored skirt if you have no inten- ton of keeping 1t pressed or a sue perior felt hat if you never use a hat brush?
 Pay special attention to your shoes. I know several women who include cleaning and heel-straight- ening allowances right in their beauty budgets. Don't spend so much on hair and face that you have no money left for grooming. It really is better in the long run to have home instead of professional facials and to do your own nails than to spend huge sums on these .ak. ..Asx., YN nx.S ,,tkn ,.aiy& 4ka,, .nnSl
