vITAMIN D FOR GROWING
 CHILDREN

Rickets is a nutritional deficiency disease, to be sure, but in the pop ular sense of the term disease" 1t is not so regarded, for the infant. school child or youth with rickets is not obviously ill or sickly but just retarded in growth and de- velopment, or more or less pigeon breasted, knock-kneed, bow-legged, fiat-footed, sway-backed, pot-bellied, droop shouldered, weak-ankled, fa- tigue-postured and, of course con- stantly or constitutionally tired and soft.
 Unfortunately the popular notion of rickets is that it affects the bones. This notice is probably shared by some physicians who have never learned to recognize nu- tritional deficiency manifestations in the early stages or mild degrees just as many old timers never learned to recognize lung tubercu- losis while it was in the incipient stage, before the patient developed cavity and actual consumption.
 Rickets affects the teeth, cartil- ages, nerves, muscles, digestive or gans, teeth, tonsils and blood as much as it affects the bones-the bone manifestations are just more obvious to the casual observer than are the other manifestations of rickets. Yes, and to some physi- clans, too. The 112 children out of 230 examined postmortem had rick cts but none of them died of rickets they died from various acute ill., ness not related to or in any way due to rickets.
 Except in infancy-and even in the baby ricketS usually becomes evident only after the baby is from six to eighteen months old-rick- cts is neither recognized nor pre- vented or treated in most instances, simply because the child or youth does not come under medical care or, if some accident of casual ill., ness brings the child under medi- cal observation the physician fails to take cognizance of and offer any advice about the underlying nutri- tinal deficiency.
 ProphylaxlS or prevention of rickets and all of its serious consti- tutional manifestations is so simple that it seems shameful it is denied to or withheld from so many chill dren in their developing, formative years. It consists of these essen tials:
 l. Adequate daily intake of high
 1Ni1rr1N 11 i !, !, ,l,N
 foods particularly milk and
 milk products, butter, eggs,
 greens, peas, beans, peanuts,
 other nuts.
 2. Greatest possible exposure of
 skin to sunlight, within req
 sonable limitations.
 3. Optimal daily intake of vita
 min D-that is, two or three
 times as much as nutrition
 authorities deem necessary to
 prevent rachitic manifesto
 tions.
 Tn the booklet "v-I-T-E" Spells Youth"-for copy send ten cents and stamped self addressed envel- ope-you will find set forth the reasons why and the way in which every growing child should eat his or her daily ration of vitamin D and B-complex along with break fast or with lunch or dinner as pre- ferred. Not that rickets is bound to occur if the child does not so supplement the ordinary diet, but, in my opinion, this prophylaxis positively favors the development of straighter, stronger, healthier, more vigorous children, youths, adults with finer teeth, steadier nerves, in short, vite.

gcing on 1--we fell in love with her
all over again.
She's beautiful young lady.
There's nothing lah-de-dah about
her. In fact, she's the most unaf-
fected young lady we've met in Hol-
lywood for long time.
She was wearing a pilots wings.
THE boy friend?" we asked.
Shirley laughed.
I'm not sure,' she said. st think
he married someone else"
HERE'S SHIRLEY
You've probably been wondering,
SO here's Shirley Temple today:
She makes her own decisions
about her work. When David O..
Selznick wanted her to sign a seven
year contract, he first approached
her mother.
ASK Shirl," said Mrs Temple.
That's what they do ncw-about
everything She's her own woman.
Her school subjects at Westlake
School for Girls, where she is in her
senior year, are English. chemistry,
botany, biology, French, civics,
chorus and dramatics. Last term she
made all A's-but this isn't usual.
She made BIS the year before.
Although she has been studying
French since she was 7, she doesn't
know enough to order a good dinner
and failed miserably when she
went to French restaurants in New
York. She ordered steak and got
frog legs.
She is allowed dates only on Fri
day and Saturday nights, and can't
stay past one. Her mother meets her
hoy friends before she goes out
with them.
When someone asked her Whas
the best age was for movie stars to
marry, she said %, because they're
more sensible at that age"
who told you that?" she was
asked.
MY mother said Shirley, who
married at IT,"
LIKES EN- RUGGED
Shirley doesn't go into ecstacies
over Frankie the Voice. She prefers
Johnny Johnston or Dick Haynes,
who are more rugged Eastern
writer's say she'll go to Wellesley OF
Vassar, but she'll tell you she pre-
ferS Stanford-if she decides to g.
to college at all.
She likes to pretend that George
Temple, her father, is the biggest
worry of her life. She says he il
always disgracing her with terrible
puns. She admires her me ther thi
side of idolatry.
She has couple of million dol
lars in the bank but until recently
her monthly allowance was $40.
Couple of weeks ago it was increased
to $40 a month.
II am now very rich young

Ciqare+ Smokers
Won't Abide
By Rationing
By RUTH MILLETT

Cigaret Smokers have a right to
be apprehensive of the cigaret man
ufacturer's plan to ration cigarets.
For their system hinges on the con-
sumer's honesty in having only one
cigaret ration card.
And every time that honesty and
fair play have been counted on for
the equal distribution of scarce
commodities, the honest guy has
been gypped.
Look at the hoarders who filled
their Easements with canned goods,
and then, even if they declared it
all, never had to pay for it in full
with ration stamps. Most Of it was
just forgiven" So the me first"
people had nice supply of food
while others did not.
And every time an article is ru-
mored scarce, the me firsts" run
down and stock up, and a real
shortage exists whether or not one
did before the rumors started.
HINGES ON HONESTY
Give the people the slightest
chance for boarding or getting
ahead of their neighbors and the
"me firsts" grab it. So they'll surely
beat the rationing plan, which ad-
mittedly hinges on the honesty of
the whole American public. If Gig
arets are to be rationed at all, then
the government should do it, just
as they ration other necessary
items.
There's no point in reasoning
that cigarets aren't necessary
They are more necessary than but
ter or new shoes to good percent
age of the adult population and
if the me toos" will cheat to get
food, they'll centainly cheat tc
smoke.

Ducks are rich, fat honey birds
A 5-pound duck serves never more
than people, while a slightly
smaller one is often cut and served
in halves. But duck is cheaper per
pound than other birds.
About the extra richness of our
well-fed American ducks, here is
the rule: always pre-bake the duck,
no matter how you plan to serve
it. Much of the extra fat will be
baked out, leaving only beautiful
crisp crust and a not -too-rich,
moist meat
Pluck, SINCE, draw and wash the
duck we'll Rub inside and out with
salt, pepper and your favorite herb,
such as powdered thyme, marjoram,
sage or poultry seasoning. Puncture
the surface of the skin, using a
cooking fork (this will permit the
fat to run out more freely during
baking). Place on rack in roasting
pan, breast up. Roast, uncovered,
in moderate over $3.50 degrees F.
y to hour. Pour off all fat and
then proceed with further prepara-
ton according to any of the fol-
lowing recipes.
