You may be fat, but that does
not mean you are free from ane-
mia. Better include few muscle
meats in your family menus just
to be on the safe side. Excellent
eating, they provide first class pro-
lection against anemia. George r..
Minot, M. D., Professor of Medi-
cine, Harvard Medical School, and
winner Of the Nobel Prize for Med.
icine in 1884, backs up this advice
in speech made recently In Bos-
ton.
During the last decade it has
been recognized that the cause Of
anemia is usually defective or de-
ficient nutrition, = he said. "A good
diet throughout life is necessary
for the health Of the digestive tract
and for the resistance of infection.
The inclusion of a liberal amount
of vitamin c as we'll as of iron, of
course, among the important con-
stituents In the prevention Of sim
pie anemia."
DR.. Minot refers to mysterious
substance in certain foods which
aids in the prevention and fight
against this disease of malnutrition.
"A lack Of this Is one Of the caus-
es of anemia. 1t may be supplied.
however, by liver, kidneys and
other organs which have proved so
useful in the treatment Of this for
merly incurable disease"
Brains, liver, heart and kidneys
are among those organs. All Of
them make delicious dishes and
should be studied carefully by the
mother whose ambition Is a healthy
and vigorous family.

PREVENTION OF POSTURAL
DEFORMITIES

Postural deformities include sag
ging forward of head and neck,
round shoulders and back, fiat chest
protruding belly (pot belly), spinal
curvature, tilted pelYis, high should
der, high hip, knock knees, sprung
knees, bow legs, pronated feet
| weak ankles) and fiat foot.
Referring to the importance OF
good nutrition in the prevention of
these conditions distinguished
Canadian pediatrist says God liver
oil is a specific. The rule may be
laid down that every child from one
month to six years of age DIETER
sixteen years., unless his entire
body Is being exposed to sunshine
or ultraviolet radiations, should re-
ceive adequate amounts of cod liver
oil routinely and regularly, remem-
bering that there Is no standard
dose for every child, some requiring
more than others.'
This does not mean that q daily
dose Of cod liver oil is all that Is
necessary to prevent all physical
deficiencies. There Is good reason
to believe, however, that cod liver
oil contains something that Is spe-
cific against many of these common
deformities.
The standard dose of cod liver oil
is teaspoonful four times a day
for child, from a few drops up to
half teaspoonful daily for infants
a few weeks old, from one to two
tablespoonfuls three or four times
day for adults If the stomach will
tolerate 1t.
We know now why one individual
requires more cod liver oil than an
other. We know, too, why cod liver
oil or other fish liver oils are bene-
flcial In various conditions.
Formerly physicians ascribed the
remedial virtue Of cod liver oil to
hypothetical nutritive value which,
as we now know, the oil does not
possess-it has the same nutritive
value as an equal quantity of butter
or cream or egg yolk. Well, then
they opined it might be the iodin in
cod liver oil-that might have some
unique remedial effect. Now we
know that there Is little iodin in cod
liver oil, and the iodin In 1t has the
same effect as iodin from any other
source The medicinal effects of fish
liver oil are due to the vitamin d
and yitamin A In the oil. Cod, hall
but and some other fish liver oils
are the richest natural sources Of
vitamin d and vitamin A.
For many years physicians, chem
lists and pharmacologists have en-
deavored to make cod liver oil less
repugnant without sacrificing or
diminishing its remedial value. Only
those who have to take 1t can judge
how successful these efforts have
! been.
Today it is not prophecy but
conviction that cod liver oil and
other fish oils must soon go the way
Of calomel and castor oil. Science
has found way to make vitamin D
and the synthetic vitamin d Is
purer and far more agreeable and
convenient to take than Is that we

Your

Recently q mother complained
that her child was learning bad
habits at school.
After visiting the room, she de-
cided to take the little girl out
and send her to a private school.

such a mixture Of unkempt looking

It was her affair, and I made no

was difficulty In getting good teach

All the bad boys and girls In town,
I think, were in 1t. And some Of the

Of 1t. However, am sure that home

rules are observed. There are times
when the parent Is perfectly justi-
fed in removing q boy or girl from
an unfortunate situation, but I be-
lieve that the tendency today Is to
let the school do it all.
Show Proper Path
There are thousands of excellent
schools, but there are also numbers
Of them that outwardly cater to
culture and at the same time, inno-
Gently enough, perhaps, create an
inferiority complex in some of their
students. This is because the pri-
vate circumstances of the. various
families represented are known to
the rest of the school. Frequently
social ambitions are already budding.
The richest are honored by the
other pupils. The palm is likely to
60 to clothes or big limousines in
stead of brains. The school itself
may have no cognizance of the real
state Of affairs, or 1t may. In any
case there Is plenty Of opportunity
for the poorer child to feel unhappy.
It is a problem, I'll admit. But
In public school, there are bound
to be times when the parent gets
discouraged when the child seems
to be slipping into bad habits Of
thinking and behavior. There Is
little to do but to show him, or her,
that he must stick to home tents
and home standards. And to choose
friends who will counterfeit the
proper influence OF the school con-
ditions. The only answer that can
see is the home itself.

"You can cut a pretty figure on
the ice, in the drawing room or on
the dance floor If you eat sensibly,
sleep eight hours every night and
play at regular intervals" says
Sonia Henie.
The blonde and dimpled Sonia,
famous skating champion who re-
Gently turned professional to be-
come a motion picture star, thinks
that no amount Of cosmetics or
beauty tricks can make up for I'M
proper diet and lack Of sleep and
exercise.
"The freatest Of all aids to a love-
Iy body with muscles that co-ordin-
ate with ones mind is learning to
dance at an early age" Miss Henie
continued. Add to this beginning
the mastery of some individual sport
that teaches sureness Of foot, a
steady eye and perfect balance, and
YOU have dovetailed two perfect as
sets, grace and poise."
Miss Henie, who was born In Oslo,
Norway, started to learn to dance
at the age of three. Five years later,
she learned to skate. When she had
mastered the technique Of speed
skating, OF sure-footedness, she
started to work out her dance
routines on the ice. She has an un-
beaten record as Olympic champion
since her thirteenth birthday, and
has appeared at ice carniyals all
over the world.
Next to skating, Miss Henie likes
tennis. She eats very plain but very
good food three times a day--some-
times has glass Of milk before
she goes to bed. She sleeps eight
hours a night and is an early riser.

The Family Doctor
Cause Of Leukemia Rapid Increase
OF White Blood Cells is Unknown

blood cells Is much more serious
from the standpoint of effect on
health and Kfe.
From his patients appearance,
the doctor may frequently guess
that this disturbance exists, but only
an examination of the blood, in
Guiding a counting of the white
blood cells and study of their ap-
pearance, will yield the necessary
knowledge to make a diagnosis.
Normal human beings have about
1900 white blood cells in each cubic
millimeter of blood. In the condition
called leukemia, the white blood
cells increase rapidly In amount to
100000, or even 100000, in every
cubic millimeter Of blood. AS the
white blood cells increase, the red
ones decrease, the red coloring mat
ter of the red blood cells breaks
down, and eventually death may
follow.
Cause of this strange malady Is
unknown. 1t Is definitely related to
changes which take place in the
blood-forming tissue, such as the
bone marrow, spleen, and lymph
glands. Fortunately, leukemia is
rare.
There are types of case which
come on suddenly and cause death
promptly; and there are chronic
cases in which the development Is
gradual.
In very severe cases, the life Of
the patient is measured in weeks or,
at the most, In months. Because
Of the nature OF the condition, the
patient becomes weak, his throat
pains, and usually has symptoms
such as those in most severe types
Of infectious diseases, associated
with anemia, hemorrhage, swelling
OF the glands, spleen, and liver, and
similar signs Of serious damage to
the body.
One Of the first methods OF treat
ment In this type Of disease Is to
inject blood directly into the body
through a vein, and sometimes the
X-ray Is used TO control excess &C
tivity Of the bon marrow. But al
together the outlook Is not promis-

Hitherto two serious obstacles
have interfered with the provision
Of an adequate vitamin d ration for

of administering three teaspoonfuls

every day. Second, the prohibitive
cost of synthetic vitamin D various

general name for irradiated ergos-
