Twas This Way

Death at Sea

(CURVY is a disease we prac-
- tically never hear about any
more. But up to hundred years
ago it was one of the horrors of
sea life 1t was slow, creeping
=scourge that made sailor teeth fall
out, robbed them of their energy
and pep, and finally made them
sink into lethargic lassitude that
often ended in death.
On long voyages, it was not I'M
usual for half the crew of sailing
ship to die Of this mysterious dis
ease. We know now that scurvy
is caused by lack of vitamin G in
the diet. But two centuries ago,
when salt pork and hard tack were
standard ship fare, and cream of
tartar and elixir of vitriol were the
usual medical treatment, its cause
was 'unexplainable.
Captain Hawkins, of the Royal
British navy, the man who first
found an effective cure for scurvy,
was not physician and knew prac-
tlcally nothing about medicine. IN
1898, while in command Of a ship
on long sea voyage to Africa,
many of his crew fell i'll with the
dread disease. Without avail, the
ships doctor administered all the
remedies then known to medical
science.
AS last resort, Captain Hawkins
broke out a case of lines from
cargo, and ordered the sailors to
suck them. Miraculously most of
them recovered in short order.
The only thing left to commemo-
rate Hawkins act is the fact that
the British sailors are stu called
"limeys."

Today this same condition is I'M

the most profitable way in which to
tell their story to buyers.
The reason is simple. The news

practically every family It has the
confidence of its readers. 1t stands
for everything which is right and
good and modern.
The advertisements in your news

ARRIVING WITH A BOX
OF CANDY

Dear Mrs. Post: When my boy
friend comes to see me. he often
brings me a box Of candy. When
he hands II TO me, should l open
ii right then and pass it TO him I?
And what IL there are lots of peo-
pie in the room-should pass it
to all OF them even though il will
leave little, If any, for me?
Answer: You take the box of
candy and say Thank you" open
it. look at the candy. say some
thing that is polite as well as true
about its being your favorite kind
or that it does look good or some
thing like that, and then you prof
fer il to him. II he gives 1t to
you in the presence Of others, then
Of course you must pass it around.
and If IL is a small box, all you
can do is hope for the best. How
ever, If your boy friend brings
box of candy that isn't very big.
and can see that the room is full
of people, he had better leave it in
the hall with (under) his hat until
enough others have gone to make
it possible TO divide the amount of
candy in the box among those left.
