PREVENTS RICKETS

The reason that Vitamin D is SO
very important for growth is that
it prevents tickets, a serious con-
dition in the growing individual, by
mobilizing the calcium and phos-
phoruS in the diet for good bone
and teeth formation. Also in max
ing calcium available vitamin D
indirectly helps regulate the heart
beat and muscle tone as we'll as
helping to keep the. nerves and
blood supplied with available
calcium.
Vitamin D, along with an ample
amount of protein in the diet,
promotes good posture in the grow
ing child
All babies should be given cod
liver oil or cod liver oil with
vitamin A at two to three weeks Of
age Twins and babies born pre-
maturely need twice as much as
other babies.
SUN BATHS
All children need twice as much
vitamin d during the cloudy
months even in southern California
There is, in addition, the sun baths
which, if the weather permits, should
be started at two to three weeks of
age. Sun baths mean the exposing
of the entirely nude child to the
direct rays of the sun, first on one
side and then cn the other. The
time interval should gradually be
increased daily, starting with one
half minute and increased TO 80
minutes daily.
The reason all over sun baths
are more important than just put
ting the clothed body out in the
sunshine is that there is a sub
stance in their skin called ergos-
terve which is transformed by the
ultra violet rays of the sun into
vitamin D and promptly absorbed
by all the blood in the small blood
vessels in the skin.
Look on the bottle or box and
see if you are giving your child the
proper dosage cf both A and D.

DETAIL FOR TO-DAY
Inventory

INVENTORY in the Army refers
to just one thing, the Post Ex-
change. II seems that every time
a c.. l. is out of soap, shaving
cream, razor blades, toothpaste OF
cigarets, the PIX takes time out to
have an INVENTORY. The result
everyone mills around the bar
racks trying TO borrow the neces-
sary articles from everyone else,
The next day everyone in the
area is short and the PIX looks
like Churchill Downs on Derby
Day. INVENTORY is held with
maddening regularity, always on
the wrong day.

re-Dep|eted Circus
Pauses Here Today

The remnants of the greatest

Washington this morning in three
long red and yellow trains on an
unreasonable trip to winter" quar-
ters after the disaster at Hartford
Conn, on July when fire swept the
big top and brought death to 1852
persons, most of them children.
First section of the train was ex-
pected in Potomac yards at 7 am
and preparations had been made
there to water the stock. Most of
the animals escaped the holocaust
The train is bound for the Ringing
Brothers and Barnum & Bailey
headquarters at Sarasota. Fla.
There the circus will be recondi-
toned to make later dates of its
annual schedule. 1t is to play here
the week of September 25.
Superior Court Judge John W.
King at Hartford granted permission
for the circus to leave after bond
and assets totaling about $1,000, ,OOo
had been posted. Law suits against
the circus already add up to more
than that sum and are exeptced to

COLUMBIA, S. c., July 15.-In a
stormy day long session. tobacco
growers and warehouse men of the
Carolinas, Florida, Georgia and Vir-
ginia demanded tonight an early
announcement of satisfactory
1914 price ceilings for fiue- to-
bacco and placed before the rank
and file of growers a proposal that
the demand be backed by the threat
OF an indefinite sales, holiday of at
least five days.
A suggestion that governors of the
five States be asked Immediately to
delay openings of their markets on
staggered basis paralleling present
openings-July "a on the Georgia
Florida belt. August l for South
Carolina and later dates for the
more northerly markets-was Stub
bornly opposed by the South Caro-
linians who contended border belt
sales where tobacco is tied and
graded had no effect on Georgia
sales where leaf is sold united.
Florida and Georgia representa-
tives compromised on a proposal tc
have Carolinas and Virginia growers
vote on or before Wednesday night
July 10, on an overall delayed market
opening.

ID. T.. Man Describes
Work Of Red Cross
In Normandy Invasion

What the American Red Cross is
doing to help soldiers under fire was
told in London recently by ARC
Field Director Charles l.. Skarren,
jr., of 4476 Reservoir road NV, who
made the trip from the Normandy
invasion front to obtain more sup
plies.
Mr.. Skarren, who formerly prac-
ticed law here and was secretary Of
Southeastern University. told how
he had crossed the Channel in a
tank carrier with the 9Th Infantry
The beaches were fairly free when
we arrived" he said. I'VE advanced
into the back country as part of the
force then cutting the Cherbourg
Peninsula. With my jeep and trail
er carried supplies to make up for
lost kits. such as toilet articles and
cigarettes, gum, etc. On return
trips I lent hand at anything
from carrying our dead, to bags of
mail. The roads were constantly
being blown up ahead OF us. Each
trip was nightmare"
Narrow Escape.
One narrow escape Mr.. Skarren
described was when a plane. hit by
flax. was forced to jettison It's
bombs, which fell two fields away
from him.
Another time Mr.. Skarren drove
five miles into enemy territory look
ing for his unit. Whether the
Germans saw the American Red
Cross" on my jeep I cannot say, but
I was not fired upon" he said.
Food Plentiful.
Food was plentiful, with good sup
plies Of meat and vegetables, he
said. On his return trip to the
front, Mr.. Skarren took a two-and-
one-half- truck loaded with ma
terials for making doughnuts, which
were to be served to men in the
front lines.
Mr.. Skarren's wife, Margaret P

FORCES IN NORMANDY, July Is.
"Bluebeard's Castle" is black,
smoking rockpile tonight. Eighty
tons of artillery shells crushed the
gray turrets of one of the strongest
enemy positions encountered by an
advancing unit of American troops
composed of Kansans and Nebras-
kans northwest of St. 10.
The site of "Bluebeard's Castle"
is Unidentified as a village on the
maps. Actually, it is composed of
an old church chateau with out
buildings and large lowered
chateau known as the Castle" atop
a wooded hill commanding the
route of the Allied advance.
The Germans made their head
quarters in three buildings and
covered the approaches with ma
chine guns in reinforced concrete
pillboxes. The steeple of a church
served as an ideal observation post
for directing artillery fire over a
3,UuU-meter RADIUS.

The hardest battle was for the
! church, with enemy infantry stand
ing up under our artillery fire
Finally, unit of armored recon-

dashed through small arms fire up
the wooded hill slope and poured a
hailstorm of bullets across the de-
molished gravestones of the church
graveyard into the shell-shattered
building. Many enemy bodies were
left under the smoking rubble.
But the Castle" turret enemy OBJ
servation post continued to direct
the harrassing fire of German guns
on American artillery and infantry
Finally, the American artillery unit
commander and his seriously
wounded aides lost patience and
massed the guns of the whole di-
vision on the single building.
After the terrific barrage had

Bonomi Government
Is Set Up in Rome
Without Fanfare
By RICHARD MOWRER.

0y HlChAhO MUWAk6,
Forsisn corresDondent Of The Star and
Chicaso Daily News.
ROME, July 15.-Quietly and with
out ostentation. the Bonomi gov
ernment was set UP in Rome today
the capitals flrst liberal government
In two decades. The government
held its FIRST Rome cabinet meeting
this morning.
The only ceremony was the laying
Of a wreath at the Catacombs, where
$40 Italian hostages were shot by the
Germans In reprisal for . bomb
thrown ut q truck. The hostages
were buried where they were exc
cuted-the Germans buried them by
the simple expedient of collapsing q
portion Of the Catacombs on their
bodies.
The presence of the government
here Is mostly symbolic. Rome is
still = military area and, owing to
the undefinable "co-belligerent"
status of the country, the govern
ment Is the guest of the Allies.
Two Vital Matters Studied.
The government is scheduled to
take up two important matters:
Publication Of the Allied armistice
terms and coordination of the
italian war effort with that of the
Allies. There has been some hesi-
tation to date about making the
armistice terms public for fear of
repercussions on Italian public opin-
lon. From the Allied viewpoint, the
armistice was a logical sequel to
Italy's participation in the war on
the side Of Germany and is moth
ing to be self-conscious about.
The Italians admit that this at
titude Is understandable but, never
theless, feel that too often there is
q tendency to blame all Italians for
the war against the Allies. Anti
Fascist Italians, who always COM
bated Fascism, even at q time when
British statesmen were having nice
things to say about Mussolini, can
not help but feel that Italy and
the Italian people should be given
more OF q chance to reaSsert them
selves as new Fascist state.
Governments Powers Limited.
The fact that the Bonomi govern
ment has such very limited powers
Is considered by anti-Fascist groups
here as jeopardizing Italy's political
new deal: The government repre-
senting 1taly's six new parties Is
SO weak 1t risks becoming a joke.
There are signs that the leftist
parties now represented in the
Bonomi government do not want to
Jeopardize their nature as anti
Fascist groups by continuing to be
part Of 4 government so weak
through no fault of its own-that
nobody. including Italians, will take
it seriously. The continued handi-
Gaping of the government by the
Allies stern restrictions of its au-
thority, anti-Fascist Italians feel.
Is dangerous for the future OF the
new Italy, which is trying hard to
redeem itself.
