SCURVY SOMETIMES MISTAKEN
 FOR RHEUMATISM"

SCURVY SOMETIMES MISTAKEN
 FOR RHEUMATISM"
 Mild degrees of scurvy are as likely to occur in children of the well to do as in children of the poor. The characteristic symptoms seldom develop before the sixth month, though younger infants may lan- guish, become pale and cross and fail to gain weight from latent or slight scurvy, due to insufficient vitamin 0. Hence the universal practice is to give every infant a daily ration of vitamin c in the form of fresh or factory (not home) canned tomato juice or orange juice or other fresh fruit or fresh veg few teaspoonfnls, beginning at the etable juice, from few drops to a age of one month.
 Typical signs of Scurvy are ten- derness in the legs, which causes the baby to cry when handled, per- haps some swelling just above the ankles, which sometimes leads to the incorrect diagnosis of "rheuma- tism". The gums are swollen and purple, especially over the upper front teeth where blebs appear and more or less bleeding occurs. The child becomes fretful, cross, sleeps poorly, loses color, weight and ap- petite. There is some fever. The tenderness in the legs becomes ex- quisite and the slightest touch or movement makes the child cry out To avoid pain the child lies with the

Paris Styles
By MARY FENTRESs

United Press Staff Correspondent
 Paris (UP)-The general trend in fall millinery is toward the exag- geratedly high crown despite the fact that the more conservative mill liners have tried to establish a mod flied crown. The high movement. if not achieved by a flower pot crown, is brought about by the use of trimming high up on the hat in some cases ribbon bands are placed midway on the crown rather than at the beginning of the brim.
 Turbans are popular, many of them with peaked crowns, and others of Russian inspiration. Classic felts for sports wear are made with two or three-inch brins and with tall crowns which are pleated, crushed or stitched.
 Fur and skins of all varieties are used considerably for fall nlillin- cry. Astrakhan, more than any other fur, is used for Russian tur- bans, shallow caps. or as trimming on felts.
 Feathers are used almost exclu- sively for trimming. and everything is shown from ostrich pluues to long, broad sport quills. Aigrets end birds of paradise feathers are used considerably here for evening, but of course, cannot be exported to the United States.
 Sports hats are trimmed witf Imulti-colored bands of leather. with siIk or wool or with stiH quills.

 One of the most interesting chap ters in Katharine Wellman's new book, Beauty Begins at Home" describes special cleaning treat- ment that will remove dead, dry cuticle from the neck and face.
 "Dampen the face and neck with warm water, 50 as to soften the cuticle, then cleanse well with 6 little olive oil," Miss Wellman be- gins.
 Remove the oil and pat in g generous amount of lemon juice. Just before this dries, start rub bing, with the fingertips, in rotary movement. The oily waste matter and lemon juice, having emulsified. will roll into little balls and drop of. Dead cuticle, like tissue paper. wrinkles easily and flakes of.
 Continue to apply lemon juice and to rub until all of the surface debris is removed and the face resembles a peeled onion. With some people, results will follow more quickly than with others, depending upon the quantity and quality of the varnish. Now put in Q little toning cream. and put the annoyed face to bed. This treatment can be given every Few months, eSpe- cially after an Illness, when fever has abnormally dried the surface Skin." In another chapter, Miss Wellman advises the use of soap substitutes (soaps without lye) and points out that cleansing creams come under this heading. Her idea of perfect morning routine includes the smoothing on of cleansing cream as Esoon as you awake. Put 1t on throat as well as face and remove with 2 rough wash cloth which has been dipped in extremely hot water. then ksuueezed as dry as possible. Repeat ! the hot steam application at least three times on the face and neck. putting pressure where pores are large or clogged. Finish with q dash of cold (not iced) water.

along? Not if Lucia can help 1t, of course. But hark. Summer won't be over until the frost comes, in many schools. The season for thin dresses continues longer on the campus than in the city. Whether Lou fusses or not, slip some thin things into her trunk. Naturally she has to have wool dresses or changes of sweaters and skirts, even for fall days, which can get bitter cold. But variety is sensible at all times.
 Mark Possessions Clearly
 Inquire, too, about shoes and stockings. Anklets are customary on some campuses while anathema on others. Buy shoes to last. They are going to be used, and muchly, on roads, gravel-paths. rough ground and even in mud. How different from city streetsl
 If the prospective school is north be sure the winter coat is warm. Rain coats are almost indispensable as well as overshoes, and umbrellas.
 Mark everything with name tapes, indelible ink, or rubber stamp. Mark belongings such as cameras, hot water bags, portable radios or any, thing lendable, with adhesive strips, bearing names. Carelessness about returning and other mix-ups, are thus minimized. Buy DURABLE laundry boxes. Constant mailing is hard on them. Look for worth and wearability always in buying clothes Students have little time for mend ing and pressing. The over-fiounced outfit will be 8 burden. It can be smart as wei las practical if little care is taken.
 Boys clothes fall into simpler grooves, so I leave them to you. But the same general rules of wear and suitability should be needed.

legs half hexed and turned outward and the untrained observer is likely to think the legs paralyzed. Black and blue'' spots appear here and there, without any injury to account for them-such spots often have been regarded as evidence of mis- treatment, especially in institutions. The teeth loosen and may drop out. Red blood corpuscles are found in the urine analysis and perhaps in- ternal or external hemorrhages oc- cur.
 All because the baby or child has been confined to diet of cooked, boiled, pasteurized, sterilized, canned or preserved food and not given 8 proper daily ration of fresh raw food of one kind or another.
 Condensed or evaporated milk, steri1ized milk, boiled, Scalded or pasteurized milk, is likely to cause scurvy unless such diet is supple mented with vitamin c ration. Certified milk, or ordinary raw milk, does not cause scurvy because it contains some vitamin C-about one unit in each ounce. To prevent scurvy an infant should receive daily 20 units of vitamin c; as much as is contained in 1-2 ounces of tomato juice or orange juice.
 Insufficient vitamin c intake probably accounts for excessive car- ies or decay of the teeth of older in- fants and young children.
 Do not rely on any one item to furnish vitamin O. Include several in the diet. The daily amount of vitan1in c child or adult must have to prevent scurvy is only 8 fraction of the amount every one should have to enjoy the highest attainable degree of health and vital vigor.

IF you had known that Canaan would be yours ! When forty years of wilderness were done; That you would cross the river some sweet spring, When peace returned and Israels wars were done; Then could understand the ease with which You kept your compass true to cloud and flame. And why you told Gods people of the land Off gentle fields from which their fathers came DUT knowing that you could not ever stand D Upon the shore beyond the rivers edge, You walked those dark and countless miles with grace.

In Relation
To Presents
BY EMILY POST.

DEAR MRS. POST-I am gov
- erness to three children under 10
years old and am earning a very small
salary. When these children have
birthdays I would like to remember
them with presents, but don't know
whether it would be considered un-
suitable under the circumstances.
Answer-Since you are their gov
erness, surely it Is within your prov
ince to teach them appreciation Of
small thought gifts such as cards or
crayons or pencils or lollypops or ice
cream cones-it should not make much
difference what small thing you give
them, but I think it would be nice to
show some remembrance Of their
birthday.
X X X X
Dear Mrs. Post-Eight months have
gone by since friends of mine were
married, and as yet have not sent
them a wedding present. There Is
really no reason for my having waited
except the rather inexcusable one Of
putting it of. Is 1t too late to send
something now? If not, what excuse
can I make?
Answer-Much better now than not
at all, and Of course you can make the
usual excuse that you couldn't find
just the thing you wanted to send
them. This Is all right If you send
something really unusual, but other
u,se H. is rather lame USUALLY It Is
best to send best wishes and say moth

CHICAGO, January 13 R.-The
feminine world will trip along on a
1lgurative rainbow this Spring, the
National Boot and Shoe Manufac-
turers' Association disclosed recently.
Startling innovations in color,
bringing the entire range Of the spec
trum to the feet of the ladies, mark
the new warm weather shoes. Dark
blacks and neutral hues have given
way to purple, pink, red, green, blue
and yellow.
The square toe and heel, represent
ed extensively in the higher-priced
exhibits, tend by an optical trick to
shorten the apparent length Of the
foot. As an aid to this length decep-
ton, many designers have placed dec
orations on the outer side Of the sho~
and have perforated designs with
stitching.
The Summer crop has more toeless
sandals and backless heels than ever
before.
