Depends Upon
The Mother

In infants, the reserves of this
vitamin depend pretty much
on the mother. Mothers must
have this reserve supplied in
their food. The Vitamin C
supply drops rapidly after birth,
and must be supplied through
the mothers milk. I have no
hesitation in stating tn t
mothers milk is the ideal food
for babies. If this supply of
mothers milk is not at hand,
then a synthetic substitute must
be devised. When this is neceS-
sary, be sure and consult your
doctor; get his advice on how to
make sure that the vitamin con-
tent will be in that substitute.

Monotonous Diet
Causes 1t

Early French explorers in
Canada suffered greatly from
scurvy. Even 80 years ago I
saw plenty of scurvy in my
practice. Of course their diet
was monotonous one-salt
pork and peeled potatoes. Was
it any wonder scurvy caused
much illness and death? If they
had even eaten their potatoes
with the skins on, it might have
given them enough extra Vita
min C to keep them healthy.
The severe manifestations of
scurvy are seldom seen by doc
tors today. It is fairly COM
mon to see mild cases of it in
children, but sometimes even
these aren't seen unless one is
observant. Retarding of weight
and height gains in the early
days of a child's life is one of
the signs that Vitamin c is
lacking.

Grimes Caused
BY Jealousy
Copyright 1888, by King Features
Syndicate, Inc.)

Crimes of passion thrive In
jealous soil. In the allegedly
civilized, it has prompted such
heinouS crimes as mutilation,
You doubtless remember the
case involving a physician a few
months ago.
The law recognizes this most
primitive of emotions, and, while
1t does not condone the tempo
rary madness which it induces.
1t has recognized a vague plea
known as the unwritten law"
A curious phase of sex zeal.
ousy is that when the madness
has run its course, even to the
extent of murder committed,
the insanely jealous person
seems to lose interest in the in
dlvldual for whose sake he COM
mitted the crime.
Take the recent case of a per
feet husband" The seemingly
unoffending man was so insane
ly in love with his wife that in
addition to being a model, he
did all the housework. He not
only loved to distraction, he
was a human doormat as well.
Far from approaching a de-
votedly loving husband, who did
the chores of maid-of-all-work,
the bored wife gave her affec-
tons to gentleman who
quoted poetry and was fragrant
ly unfaithful to the model huS-
band who scrubbed floors,
cooked meals. Even his mother
ln-law said he was perfect and
testified in his favor at the
trial. At last the worm turned.
LdW Amended
Last Year
The wife was the first woman
in Illinois history to testify
against her husband in a major
criminal trial. A law which had
prohibited wife from ieop-
ardizing her husband was
amended last year.
True to the sex-jealousy COM
plex, after the abused husband
had murdered his rival, he an
nounced to the papers he was
through with his wife. A dozen
other cases come to mind where
complete indifference to the
adored followed a crime Of
passion.

Juice of Lemons

Cured ScurUy
Years ago people didn't know
anything about this Vitamin c.
But they did know that the juice
of lemons cured scurvy, or pro-
tected from its ravages alto
gether. In fact, it was this
knowledge which gave to the
British seamen the term
"Limey." The sailors, as one
story has it, used to raid cargoes
of lemons, then known as lines.
In fact, their fondness for these
lines became well-known, hence
the nickname. The reason they
wanted these fruits was their
need for Vitamin C.
In the early days of America,
our ancestors suffered from
scurvy. This was particularly
true of the Northern parts. Nat
urally in the South there we're
plenty of citrus fruits; these
did just what the lemons did

ASlNG SHEETS FOR SERVICE WEAR
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-11-23
Leopold Godowsky

Leopold Godowsky was great pianist. He was an infant prodigy who made good. His death Monday of this week deprives the world of distinguished musician and composer. Among his compositions are many educational works of value to teachers and students. Likewise he wrote a prolific number of other compositions to include etudeS, SonataS, waltz-poems, tranScriptionS and paraphraseS. His con- tributions to the worlds musical library are valuable. Too, he will be remembered as a great technician.
 A newspaper subtitle describes him as a "pianist's pianist" This is somewhat apt since GodoWsky regarded his piano forte performances as large study rather than an entertaining diversion to catch the emotions of his listener He perhaps did not have to as great degree as other noted pianists, this combination of feeling and technical skill. Some found him not too sympathetic in his piano readings which had more or less me chanical precision. But nonetheleSs and for this reason RachmaninoH said of him that he was "the only musician of this age who has given lasting, real con- tribution to the development of music"
 If Leopold Godowsky could turn neat and clearcut phrase in music he could also in social encounter delight his friends with his rare wit and clever repartee. In reading something of his life and profes- Sional career we found the following in- cident which one of the New York papers recounts particularly opposite, and suitable snub to one of his pupils in criti- cisn of a certain great artist. The pupil when asked if she enjoyed Eugene DIAL bert'S piano performance in Berlin re- marked she didn't fancy him so much because he struck so many wrong notes. Godowsky came back with this: "Well, can tell you I'd rather hear D'AlbertS wrong notes than your right ones"
