RIGHT FOOD FOR
GOOD HEALTH
Your Health and Vitality De-
pends on Proper Food
and Right Amount
BY CHARLOTTE SPENCER

Straight legs used to be regard
ed as a special dispensation from
Providence, but now anxious moth
ers annually use thousands of gal
Ions of cod liver oil in an effort to
produce straight bodies scientific
ally.
Bones normally grow long by the
formation of cartilage near the
joint. Deposits of calcium and
phosphorus stiffen this cartilage
like substance so that it is strong
enough to support the body's
weight.
insufficient deposits of calcium
and phosphorus leave the bones PHI
able and so they bend under pres
sure. The deformity caused by
this bending is aptly known as tie
disease rickets. Just as a rickety
chair is not safe to hold much
weight, so a ricketic bone will not
support person.
Good bone formation is insured
by adequate sources of calcium and
phosphorus which really means
milk or milk products plenty
of vitamin D from fish liver oils or
sunlight. The minerals, calcium.
and phosphorus are needed to stiff
fen the bones and the vitaE1in D.
helps the bones to use the miner
ais.
Sometime ago a member IF the
Delaware State Board of Heath
Staff was showing health film to
a group of farm women. The pic
lures were all very strange to the
group. None of them felt very
familiar with bacteria or chemical
Laboratories. Toward the end of
the film a bow legged child was
shown. One woman remarked
MY, doesn't he look natural"
Bow legs, knock knees, deformed
chests and rickettic heads We're
more excusable twenty years ago
when their cause was not fully un-
derstood. There are now over for
ty children in Delaware so badly
crippled by malnutrition that they
have had operations to straighten
their legs When we understand
so well the prevention of this Grip
pling, we all should feel concern
when we see that we IRE still pro-
ducing so many bow legged rick
etic children.

AID BY THE FEDERAL FSA
Opportunity for Farm Owners in
Kent and Sussex Counties to Sell

Opportunity for Farm Owners in
Kent and Sussex Counties to Sell
A few farm owners in Kent and
Sussex Counties will have an op-
portunity to sell their farms for
cash, it is announced by Chester j.
Tyson, county supervisor of the
Farm Security Administration.
This has been made possible, Mr..
Tyson said, through the ALLEGATION
of a limited amount of funds to
Kent and Sussex Counties by the
FSA for loans to worthy farm ten
ants, sharecroppers and farm lab
orers for the cash purchase of
farms of their own. This, is in ac-
cordance with the provisions Of the
Bandhead-Jones farm tenant act,
now entering its third year Of op-
Grafton.
Naturally these purchasers will
have to repay their loans from the
farm earnings" Mr.. Tyson stated.
This means that they will desire
family size farms in good state of
fertility. Buildings should be ade-
quate for farm operations, and
very little expense should be need
ed for repairs. No farms will be
purchased in excess of reason
able appraisal value placed by
farm security appraisers.

War Shipments to Britain Speeded
As Truce Called AT |. A. Port

was threatened late yesterday and
Secretary of State Cordell Hull
communicated with Gregory Har-
rison, counsel for the waterfront
employers, asking that there be no
delay in the shipment.
Wayne L. Morse, Pacific coast
arbitrator for the department OF
labor, ordered the truce within a
short time after arriving from San
Francisco yesterday. He told both
longshoremen and waterfront en-
ployers to keep working all ships
pending, settlement of a dispute
involving so suspended unionists.
The longshoremen were suspend
ed for refusing to pass Chinese
picket line and load scrap iron on
a japanese ship last May. The un-
ion refused to accept the penalty
and sent the men to work as usual.
Employers refused to use them, and
the resulting impasse stopped the
work of 800 dockmen on 16 vessels
Morse ordered that the suspended
men be accepted temporarily, but
said this did not void the original
ruling OF the local arbitrator, Irwin
Stalmaster
The fundamental purpose of ar
bitration would be defeated if ship
ping were tied up while arbitration
went on" he said.
