Oihng Legs

Child two years old has not yet learned to stand up and walk. Told we should rub his legs each evening with olive oil. Would this give them strength? Or what would you ad- wise? (Mrs. I |, P1
 Answer-Rubbing olive oil, cod liver oil and the like on the body can have no effect on strength. Not withStanding the quaint belief, still held by some physicians, that cod liver oil so applied is absorbed through the skin, the fact remains that no one has proved that any sub stance can be absorbed through the unbroken skin. Possibly the child's nede for the vitamin D in cod liver oil accounts for failure to walk. Every baby should receive vitamin D in one form or another, to sup- plement the diet, daily from the age of month or two up through child hood and early youth.

TILE TEETH AND DIABETES

THE TEETH AND DIABETES
 In the 194O edition Of his book treatment of Diabetes" pr, Elliott P. Joslin estimates that there are 600, 900 diebetics in the United States and says the number of diabetics in the country is likely to reach g million.
 Hw many diabetics will read this article I have no idea, but [ esti- mate that million potential dia- betics should read it, although per- haps only few thousand of them will. If there are over half 8 mil lion diabetics in the country now it is reasonable to assume that there are five million persons who are po- tention diabetics.
 Now Dr. Joslin, who is a good authority on diabetes even when he doesn't agree entirely with me; as- SertS that nearly orle-fourth of our entire population are now carriers of the potentiality or tendency to diabetes and may pass 1t on to their children. The child cannot inherit diabetic potentiality from one dia- betic parent alone, if the other par- ent hasn't inherited the potentiality and is not 8 carrier of the poten- tiality.
 In the 1940 edition Dr. Josltn de- plores the poor teeth of many dia- beticS and even cites the observa- tion of one Dr. Kent that "destruc- tton of the teeth and the supporting processes is usually very active just prior to the onset of diabetes" and adds that increased susceptibility to carries, abScessed teeth and gingevi- tis and pyorrhea seems common in diabetes.
 A healthy person derives about four-f1fths of the energy, and call ories in the daily diet from carbohy- drates-such as vegetables, cereals, cereal products, fruits, nuts, and the sugars, starches or sweets, breads, cakes, pastries generally. Physiolo- giSts find that half of the starch in these foods is normally digested by the saliva. The Salivary digestion goes on not only during maStication of such foods but continues for half an hour to an hour longer after the food has been swallowed and is re- tamed in the upper part of the stomach.
 If by reason of missing teeth or intentionally inefficient teeth (ycur own or the dentist's) mastication of such food is incomplete and the sal- ivary digestive enzyme (ptyalin) is not sufficiently mixed with the food to reach starch granule or cell, the burden of handling the incompletely digested starch is passed along to the pancreas. The starch digestant enzyme (amylopsin) in the pam creatic juice can digest the starch, all right, but 1t overworks the pan creas nevertheless.
 It is failure of certain specialized cells in the pancreas to manufac- ture enough inSulin, that constitutes diabetes.
 So. whether the physician insists upon it or not it ought to be clear to every one with potential diabetes, prediabetes or tendency to diabetes that the best possible insurance against development of active dia- betes is g functionally efficient teeth or their equivalent in den- lures.

THEY'RE HANDY FOR EMERGENCIES

One of New York's best depart ment stores reports a rise of almost 300 per cent in slackS sales since Pearl Harbor.
 'The trend had set in before that" the buyer tells me. For sev- era1 years, women have been quietly wearing slacks more than before They had been wearing them to dc their housewerk in, for instance.
 Since Pearl Harbor-well, we just haven't been able to keep up with it. Many customers say there's one thing besides new tasks that prompts buying. It is that, as they say, there's nothing like a pair of slackS to have handy to slip into in case of an emergency. No girdle, no stocking-you step in, and you're adequately and modestly clothed, and you are warm"
 The buyer also reports that sub urban women are bicycling, shop ping, gardening, doing volunteer de- fense jobs in slacks-and they are also wearing them among men. And they insist, the buyer adds, that the men are accepting the costume as never before.
 Women at work-in defense. fac tory jobs, for 1nstance-are wearing SlackS, of necessity. Stores and manufacturers say they also wear them after work, too, with a change of blouse and jacket.
 Another big New York store is featuring patio pamajas," grace full lounging costume inspired by the practical-pants situation, and also a ''double-duty" outfit which is a ,cu- lotte If you butotn it one way, a skirt if you arrange it another way.
 A leisure time fashion which is gaining in popularity by reason of the war, is a four-piece weekend wardrobe including slacks, skirt, jacket and tailored blouse. Many of these are done in spun rayon, the man-made fibre which stimulates linen, silk, wool, shantung, gabar- dine, and worSted constructions at prices much lower than the originals.
 The separates" and suits are off, fered in deep and pastel colorS, usually with contrasting shirts.
 Finer slacks are made of acetate twills, Sharkskins and wrinkle-re- sistant alpaca weaves and are worn with softly feminine blouses during leisure. A dashing decoration goes with them-a bright crepe cummer- bund.

Household Hints :
Women Go All Out for Stacks As Uniform for the Duration

s,s
By MARGUERITE YOUNG (NEA Service Staff Writer

New York-Well, they are here.
 Women are doing mems work-in pants. They're doing extra women,s work-in pants. And they're wear ing the pants at other times, too.
 The ever-snowballing demand for slacks is the talk of the retail trade Its publications report phenomenal rises in sales of all types of Slacks, but particularly in narrow-l legged, man-pants Slacks.
 Because of the demand, manu- lecturers say they have assigned their brightest designers to creating attractive styles in both costumes and separates" adapted to mix match outfits.
 They also say they have altered the cut of man-tailored slacks to make them roomier, though less droopy--so that they now do, in fact, both fit better and look bet ter. The pantS-makers have been on the doorsteus of the fabris in- dustries, rayon especially, demand ing and getting style-worthy stuff in colorS and weaves especially suited to women's stacks.
