 Some Have Good Time
 I heard that those among the Japanese who could afford 1t were taking coastwise trips on Japanese trans-PaclAc liners in order to have a day and a night of freedom from those restrictions. It took a trip to find out whether the Japanese were making "whoopee ships out of their merchant marine and, sure enough, they were. They don't act the way Americans might under similar circumstances but there was a great amount of satisfaction in the way they ripped open packages of American cigarets consumed, foreign liquors and raked the din- ing room menus for food delicacies.
 One charming old gentleman, ac- companied by a young boy who con- tented himself with picture draw ing and candy, consumed double Scotches and soda in alarming quantities all the way from Yoke- hama to Kobe. He had a few before breakfast, too, but went of the ship under his own steam.
 On that same trip I looked at Kobe, Osaka and Kyoto to see how they were standing the rigid war; time restrictions. Osaka is boom- ing with munitions making. Robes foreign trade has fallen of, except to the yen blyoc countries of East Asia. Lovely old Kyoto, Japans outstanding tourist attraction, was practically deserted.

it is now translated into daytime

PEPLUMS. No question about

it with sequins.

COdLiverOil
Is Rich in
.VitaninS
Olive Oil Cannot
Be Used Instead
In Baby's Diet
Bv Leffice Lee STREET.

Dear Mrs. Streett-Can you tell
me anything about the merits Of
olive Oil in baby's diet? Does it
contain vitamin D? Would you
advise substituting it for cod liver
oil? How old should a baby be
before cod liver oil is stopped? Do
you think that concentrated cod
liver oil is as good as pure cod
liver oil?
Yours very truly, MRS. C. S.
Just because two edible substances
look somewhat alike and are OF the
same consistency does not indicate
that they contain identical or even
similar elements.
One tablespoonful of olive oil con-
tains no protein and no carbohy-
drate: it is 100 per cent fat. 1t
contains minus or insufficient guam
titles of vitamins B. c and G.. Its
vitamin A content is so small as to
be inadequate, and it shows so little
vitamin D. if any at all that this
vitamin, too. must be discounted
So you see not only is olive oil nom
essential in baby's diet but it is
positively no substitute for the
valuable cod liver oil that is high
in the two fat soluable vitamins. A
and D. that are essential to the
growth of bones.
To answer your question. How
old should baby be before cod liver
oil is stopped?" cod liver oil should
never be stopped unless a doctor
orders that it be done. Long after
your baby is a big child you should
still give him cod liver oil. Some
times during the extreme heat of
summer doctors take cod liver oil
away from the babies in their charge
II the infants are receiving sufficient
amounts of the direct rays of the
sun.
Pediatricians differ in their opin-
ions in comparing cod liver oil to
concentrated oils, but the general
opinion Is that the latter are eff
cient. However, 1 think that most
doctors seem to favor the plain cod
liver OIL 1t should contain no less
than IS U. S. P. units of vitamin D
per gram. You can be assured of
this by inspecting the label of the
bottle that you buy.
The important point is to choose
either pure plain cod liver oil or a
good concentrate and to give it to
your baby regularly. A little infant
that is properly started on cod liver
oil. as he should be, before he is
one month old, will grow to actually
like the taste of it. If a mother
wrinkles up her nose when she gives
the oil to her baby or in any way
shows that it is distasteful to her
she may easily make him feel that
he should follow her lead, and it is
better to give the oil plain than to
try to disguise it in orange juice.
