possible with tests on rats.
Besides having this nutritional eye
weakness, a child that does not get
enough vitamin A may not reach
his full growth, and he may also
have defective bones and teeth.
Man gets his vitamin A in two
ways. His food either contains vita
man A, or contains substances known
as provitamin A, that are changed
to vitamin A in the body-and this
changing process is sometimes
Wasteful. Vitamin A comes from
animal foods as fish-liver oils, egg
yolk, butter, cheese, whole milk and
cream. Provitamin A comes largely
from the leafy-green and green and
yellow vegetables and from yellow
fruits-the deeper the color the more
provitamin they are likely to contain.
VITAMIN D.
Vitamin D and the mineral "build-
ing stones" calcium and phosphorus,
are the three principal substances
necessary for the development Of
normal bones and teeth.
Nutrition specialists recommend
that every child at least until he
is 2 years of age-better perhaps
until he is years old-receive two
teaspoons of cod-liver oil-or its
equivalent in vitamin D from some
source daily, except when exposed
to the direct rays of the summer

Letter
Child's Life Should
Not Be Devoured
By a Grownup
Bx ANGELO PATRI.

I've grown a bit fearful Of the
parent who says, my child in
a certain tone. 1t usually means
that my child" is being devoured
by a grown up person who wants to
live his youth over again In the life
of a child.
"My child doesn't want to be a
clerical worker. He wants to be
Professional person. I won't
have my child take a commercial
course. The idea! want my
child to be a lawyer"
my child does not wish to go
to college away from home. Why
isn't the home college good enough
for him? Well, suppose 1t hasn't
the courses he wants. The others
will do just as well. won't they?
Plenty of good men have been
graduated from that college. If
he is as good as they are I'll be
satisfied"
There it is, in the "Ill be salts
fed" The child is not going to
be satisfied, but what of that?
Somebody else will be satisfied by
his having the pleasure of living
in the world he longed to live in
by taking over this child's life.
My child is not going to be
married Never gives it thought
We've been together since he was
born. Other boys are different.
Just as soon as they are able to
get on their feet they leave home
and forget their parents. Thank
God mine is not like that"
Isn't he? Who knows Of the long
ing of a young mans heart? His
mother? His father? Not II they
are the my child" sort.
agree heartily that children owe
a duty to their parents. But know
that unless that duty is rendered
in free spirit, in love, 1t is mockery
and a sham that chokes the giver
and the receiver. Children reared
In home where sharing and serv-
ing and loving we're everyday prac-
tice in everyday affairs will never
have to be reminded that they owe
their parents something. They will
be eager to find opportunity to con-
tinue their loving service.
Pride of possession, pride in own
ership, is childish gesture. Chill
dren clutch and hold and cry,
"Mine!" my" Is an illusion. AS
We grow toward maturity we learn
that we own nothing; we hold
nothing. All we have and all we
enjoy is loaned to us for a brief
time. The best we can do is to
get out all OF the Joy hidden there
day by day. With every hour life
and Its belongings change. The
things we hold-believe we hold
recede from US. The children we
believe are ours leave us at turn
Of the road and we discover that
they had been preparing for de-
parture since the day they first
opened their eyes. We hold nothing
What we enjoy is loaned us and for
a brief time.
It hurts a child to hear himself
called MY child" in that certain
tone. I think it was the tone OF
that certain rich man" You per-
laps remember that on being or
dered to surrender all he owned he
turned away sadly. Had he known
the truth, that what he owned was
the thing he was refusing to own,
his own soul, he might have been
happier.
Enjoy the child that is with you.
Direct and lead him toward his
happiness, II you can see 1t. But
don't call him MY child" unless
the tone is one Of reverent love and
complete REIMBURSEMENT.

to a girl to be able to date some
young fellow she fancied, or to be

like he would make desirable run

Attractive Styles for Spring Will Require Smooth Neatly Nodded Figures
Ny Neiehbor Soys:

It is important to get rose
plants into the ground as early
as possible in the spring. Wise
amateurs will try to choose
varieties which are compare
lively free from black spot and
mildew. Deep planting is not
necessary, but the knob just
above the roots, showing where
the graft was made, should be
an inch under the surface. The
fact has been learned in recent
years that mounding soil
around the newly set plants
almost to the top will do much
to give them a good start.
To broil bacon place strips
close together on a wire rack
over a drip pan. Use medium
heat. Turn bacon over and
drain on unglazed paper or on
paper towels.
Eggs should never be cooked
in boiling water, as they be-
come tough and leathery. Put
in cold water to cover, bring
gradually to a boiling point,
remove SO that water does not
boil and let stand 3 minutes
for soft-boiled or 80 to As min

Classically plain and colorful back
grounds form a suitable setting for
the ornamented furniture of the
English Regency period. In the
Regency furniture ebonyized and

Lighting fixtures of gilded or

The Lot of Women Is Hard Indeed
When Compared to That of Men
necessity!

Little Maudie, who is 5-going -on-6,
is about to celebrate ner birthday,
and her rich and adoring grand
father asked her what sort of pres
ent he should give her in commemo-
ration of the august occasion.
Whereupon she cast a blase eye
around her nursery, which looked
like the understudy of toy shop on
Christmas Eve, and replied: Just
make me over into a boy. That's
all want"
"Wise child" commented woman
present, but I wonder how she
found out at her age that men get
most of the cakes and ale in this
world? I suspect that SO women
out Of 100, If asked their hearts de-
sire, would say with Maudie make
me over into man. for men do get
the best Of everything. That's why
we try to initiate them. steal their
clothes and fill their jobs, but it is
no good.
"Of course, nobody is to blame for
this sad state of affairs, unless 1t is
the Creator. For even with Him
woman was an afterthought and ap-
parently not included in the original
plan. He only made Eve after He
had finished Adam and given him
the pick of everything, and that is
the way things have gone ever since
That is why 1t makes us green-eyed
even to take a glance at the good
things that accrue to men just SIM
ply because they are men and at
which we never get look-in.
Consider the blessed privilege Of
being as homely as the Lord made
you, without trying to improve on
the job. Man has the monopoly on
that. If man is gentleman; if he
Is intelligent and well-mannered, no
one cares a hoot about his looks.

advisable to wear the same garment
for all occasions. Changing from
one type to another is not only rest
full, but absolutely essential for the
figure.
These ideas are important to
lovely appearance. Equally i'm
portant is the fact that a garment
designed to help one type will do
nothing for another. There are nu-
merouS styles in foundations
enough to accommodate every in

Although in recent years the real
ization of the Importance of correct
garments has been seen by women,
there is still a slight tendency to
carelessness along this line. This
year, however, with fashions de-
manding basic perfection in order
to do them justice. it seems obvious
that even greater strides will be
made, and women will realize more
than ever the need for good founda-

straight lines so to be desired, she
Is not smartly turned-out person.
This season the foundation gar
ment is more important than ever
If that is possible. With the advent
of nipped-in waistlines, closely
nodded dresses and everything
family reminiscent of the gay COS, it
Is no wonder that the under ap-
pearance has such a great influence
on the outer one. So, lady, look to
the foundation for a well-completed
picture.
Speaking with a leading consultant
recently, we rediscovered the i'm
portance of a well-molded figure.
"Styles may be -ninetyish," she
told us, but figures are not. The
old idea was to bulge out suddenly,
while today we want a moderated
effect" The desired appearance, she
said, is one of graceful lines with
tiny waist and higher bustline than
in the past. Even the very small
girls need proper foundation.
"They are often inclined to have
small bust measurements" she eX-
planned, "but are usually heavy
about the thighs. There is not a
woman who cannot stand the help
Of some foundation garment"
Most interesting are the garments
adequately equipped to give us tiny
waistlines. One particularly out
standing style is laced down the
front with concealed eyelets and lac
ing strings which may be let out or
taken in to accommodate the figure.
The idea is a new one, and should
prove very efficient for those o. us
who have an extra inch or two about
the middle.
Rules for Wise
Purchasing.
Rules for buying foundation gar
ments are simple and logical. An
other outstanding authority in this
field offers several plans for SEN
sible purchasing that are well worth
needing. OF primary Importance is
the fitting of the garment by a
trained person. If it is too short, it
will ride up, and If it is too long, will
wrinkle about the waist. Garments
which fit too tightly at the top
will cause an ugly roll across the
shoulders. Next, this expert believes
that money spent on foundation
Is well invested, so if you pay bit
more than you had planned, count
it as insurance against figure faults
in the future.
Proper wearing Of the garment is
Just as important as the selection,
continues the same expert. You
must not wear the same model year
in and year out, even if it is a highly
satisfactory one. The figure changes
due to the pressure or freedom of
the garment, and it is wise idea to
be fitted in an entirely new model
at least once a year. Too, it is not
