SUNLIGHT HELPS
TO BUILD UP THE
BABIES HEALTH
Health Department Gives Val
liable Advice AS To The
Various Early Diseases

Comparing babies to plants in their
common need for sunshine, proper
food and intelligent care, DIR. J. H. M.
Knox, Jr., Chief of the Bureau of
Child Hygiene of the State Depart
ment of Health said:
Sunlight helps in a very wonder
full way to convert certain elements
in the baby's food into bone strength
ening substances. But because of
clothing and our modern ways of iv-
ing we are all of US cut off to a large
extent from the direct sunlight that
is necessary to build strong healthy
bodies. Babies in particular are af-
fected by the lack of the necessary
direct sunlight and special efforts
have to be made to safeguard them
against the results of this lack.
"When we look at plants that have
been deprived of direct sunlight we
can understand better what happens
to babies similarly situated. The
plants soon show it in weakened
stems, poor color, and in other ways.
Babies deprived of sunlight react in
much the same way. They are pale;
their bones are soft and pliable; and
deformities develop. The whole sys-
tenn lacks strength and the babies
develop what is known as ricketts,
"Bowlegs, knockknees, similar de-
formities of the arms and chest and
of other parts Of the bony structure
of the body are all associated with
ricketts, and are usually due to the
lack of the necessary strengthening
substances in the bones. Fortunate
ly such deformities are unnecessary
and can be prevented-and further
development can be checked and
brought under control by adding cod
liver oil to the baby's diet.
Because it is useful in helping to
convert certain food elements into
bone strengthening substances, cod
liver oil is sometimes spoken of as
liquid sunshine There are also Ger
tain other oils that have been spec
tally treated and that have the same
effect. Your doctor will advise you
about them.
"Many children have ricketts, in a

ATTENTION OF
PARENTS CALLED
TO MEASLES
DIR. Llewelyn Warns Against
Complications Following
This Disease

AS County Health Officer, DIR.
Llewelyn informs all parents with
small children of the possibility of
contracting measles. DR.. Llewelyn
says:
Gas you know, we are now nearing
the end of the so-called Pneumonia
season and entering the Spring
months, which is Measles" time.
In some of our adjoining counties
there are many cases and within the
last few weeks we have had several
reported in the northern part Of our
County. It is probably only ques-
ton of q short time before it will be
quite prevalent throughout our Coun-
ty.
Measles is one Of the most read
ly communicable diseases being
spread by the act of coughing and
sneezing and being in close approx
nation to other people. It is most
highly contagious during the pre-
eruptive stage when the nature of
the disease is not recognized and it
remains contagious for a variable
time during convalescence. The ap-
pearance of an ordinary cold is usual
ly the first symptom. That is why it
is spread so rapidly because we pay
no attention to the cold until either
the child feels worse or a rash is
noticed. By this time the damage
has been done and many children have
been exposed and in turn contract
the disease.
Measles itself is rarely fatal, but
it is the complications we fear. It
definitely lowers the resistance to
pneumonia and diphtheria and it. is
a common history for tuberculosis to
develop after an attack of Measles.
"Hence, by all means be on your
guard against any suspicious colds OF
any time the child has been in con-
tact with q measles patient. Consult
your family physician Immediately
and follow his directions and advice
There is available now to the
medical profession a measles globulir
extract which if given to a child af.
ter he or she has been in contact
with a measles patient will definitely
lessen the severity and in many cases
will prevent its appearance, depend
ing on the dosage given"

HOT OFF THE CREDIBLE

Delicately tinted frostings are a
dainty variation and fit nicely into
menus of definite color schemes.
They may be made by adding a small
amount of coloring to any white frost
ing, and blending it evenly before
spreading. Be careful not to use too
much coloring for highly colored
frostings are Grass and unappetizing.
To make pickle fans, use small
sweet gherkins, first splitting in half
lengthwise, then cutting very thin
parallel sections along the length of
the pickle. Carefully spread out the
sections like a fan.

 Harry F'reimark forwards us an idea which he thinks has consider able merit England being the cradle of the thoroughbred, 1t seems appropriate that racing do its bit to help her at this critical time. So why not have a mammoth Allies benefit daNsay at Belmont Park and On Sunday If that can be arr ranged. Imagine the crowd that would turn out particularly If the infleld were thrown open to the public. There should be a parade of great horses of the past, like Man O War, Gallant Fox, Discovery, Sea- biscuit, etc. There should be @ juvenile race, the thumbs up purse, for imported two year olds and a feature race, the Allied or Rule Brittania Handicap for imported three year olds and upward. There are now many imported two year olds in training and many older horses either bred abroad or re- patriated since the beginning of the war. Belmont Park is, of course, the logical track for such @ pro- gram. I don't think there would be much dtfficulty in getting sarlc- ton for a Sunday race. After all we have Sunday baseball, night clubs and theaters. What would be wrong with Q charity racing day on Sunday"
 MT. Freimark is 100 per cent cor- rect. Such a program would be Q smash hit. Whether it could be worked out in just the way he pie lures 1t IS something else. More im- portant, we see no reason why the tracks with their gold mine of mu- tuel betting shouldn't do something for the various charities. Belmont was the only track to go to bat for the Red Gross last year. We tried to get some action out of the other tracks along similar lines but found all the gentlemen had suddenly lost their hearing. We imagine this year Is going to find them in more gen. erouS mood.
