ANCIENT AND MODERN sCURV1


 James Lind, Edinburgh, studied medicine as an apprentice there entered the naval medical service where he had plenty of experience with scurvy for several years, la ter practiced in a naval hospital near Portsmouth. He was the first to describe scurvy. He had seen 80 men out of 8 crew of $50 on one ship completely disabled by the disease. In his hospital practice he sometimes had as many as 1000 scurvy patients under his care. Lind published his treatise on scurvy about the middle of the 18th century. Here is part of his de- scription of scorbutus Gas doctors call scuryy):
 The first indication of the ap- proach of this disease is generally change of color in the face from the natural and usual look to pale and bloated complexion; with a listleSsness to action, or an aver sion to any sort of exercise. When we examine narrowly the lips, or the caruncles (inner angles) of the eyes, where the blood-vessels lie most exposed, they appear of a greeniSh cast. Meanwhile the per- son eats and drinxs heartily, and seems in perfect health; except that his countenance and lazy, in active disposition portend future scurvy.
 The change of color in the face although 1t does not always pre- cede the other symptomsc, yet con- stantly attends then4 when ad- vanced. Scorbutic people for the most part appear at first of a pale or yellowish hue, which becomes afterwards more darkish or livid
 Their former aversion to motion degenerates soon into an universal lassitude, with a stiffness and feebleness of their knees upon using exercise: with which they are apt to be much fatigued, and upon that occasion subject to a breath lesSness or panting. ..
 In his book "The Friendly Arc t1S t04AaJoAAu1 9tC4aAAoOA 6AtSl an excellent description of scurvy and shows, from his experience, that lack of fresh food is the cause and almost any fresh food eaten raw is the cure-fresh meat proved curative for Stefansson's men who suffered from scurvy.
 Orange juice is now regarded as the best preventive and cure for scurvy. Lemon juice, lime juice tomato juice and other fruit juices are about equally good. It is the custom today to add some orange juice to the diet of every infant daily for the purpose of pre- venting scurvy, and this is es- pecially important if the infant takes pasteurized milk or sterilized or boiled milk or cooked food as the main part of the diet, for boiling or par-boiling (pasteurizing), cook ing, and long storage or preserva- ton or sterilization or canning or drying diminishes or destroys the scurvy-preventing factor of such foods.

 Daddy wants to know why din- ner isn't ready, and mother snaps that she hasn't more than two feet and the same number of hands. She is weary and worn trying to find things in bargain basements, with crowds tearing her to pieces. And the inevitable happens. She begins at the table with its sketchy meal to blame him for all their troubles. And the poor man retaliateS by saying that if she hadn't wanted a new car so darn bad, they would have had the monthly payment to spend on Christmas.

 Now will all the good little girls who have been doing at least four exercises twenty times each day for months step forward7 The less con- scientious members, who have been doing their simple exercises in hit or miss fashion or, worse yet, not at all, may leave. The hip and waist line exercises we are about to try are for advanced students only.
 We'll do the hip twist first. It's a fine routine, created by an expert and designed to reduce the hips, strengthen back and abdominal muscles.
 Lie flat on the floor with arms at sides. Without moving arms, bring knees up to chest. Now kick upward until legs are straight in the air, twisting hips to the right as you kick. Hold the position three sec onds (weight of body will be on shoulders and back of the neck). then relax, assuming original posi- ition. Reverse and repeat, kicking legs straight up into the air and twisting hips to the left. Naturally, since you cannot move your hands from the floor and place them under hips for support, you're going to find this exerc.se difncult. But keep on practicing. Learn to do the routine correctly, then repeat 1t fifteen times . day after you have finished three or four simple exer- cises. It will make your stomach muscles hard and firm, your waist line supple.
 Just to make sure that you are doing the most comp:;catd exef- else in your repertoire of simple routines correctly, let's sry 1t once now.
 REAL WHISPERS,
 BUT WORTH WHILE
 Lie Hat on the floor with ankles together, arms at sides. Without moving shoulders or hands, slow ly lift legs straight upward until they are perpendicular to your body. Still keeping ankles to- gether, lower legs slowly. As you know, both steps must be done as slowly as possible. Repeated twenty times a day, this will make any stomach 1iatter.
 Advanced class will now do an- other exercise for slenderizing the waistline.
 Lie on your right side on the floor, resting weight on right el- bow. Lift left leg and touch left foot with left hand, keeping left knee straight and right leg in DO. sition on the floor. Relax and re- peat, turning over and placing weight on left elbow, then lifting right leg and touching foot with right hand.

Marica Blooms for Months


 Lovely Marica with its irislike flowersl There's sheer thrill in watching 1t blossom.
 One day, bud appears near the tip of what you supposed was an ordinary leaf. Observe closely, foE in less than an hour its fragile pe- tals of white splashed with violet burst into glorious bloom.
 The Marica flowers joyously all winter and right into spring, espe- cially if you water the plant ire quently-as often as twice day in dry rooms. But Marica's a hardy plant and will stand ex- tremes of temperature.
 To grow new plants from your Marica, pot the little plantlets which appear near the tips of leaves after flowers die. Put an inch ot drainage material in the bottom oi each pot, add good garden soil.
 Delightful too, at this Christmas season are the handsome red-blos- somed poinsettia and the cineraria with its pink and purple flowers Our 32-page booklet tells how to make these and many other fa- vorites thrive indoors. Feathery ferns, bulbs for soil or water, flow ering and foliage plants. Vines fol bracket pots. Window boxes. How to avoid plant pests.
