wrists and ankles and ribs become
knobby. The skull bones become soft
and the region above the eyes bulges-
producing a square shape of the skull.
X-rays of these bones show charac-
teristic changes, by which diagnosis can
be made even without seeing the pa
tient, and by which progress in treat
ment can be measured.
For treatment, giving of vitamin D
lin cod liver OLD or by ultraviolet ra-
diation, or both, is Immediately effec-
tive. Usually radiation is not needed
since the diet is so easily supplemented.
But this diet supplement of cod liver
oil can more easily entirely prevent
the disease if given properly. For that
reason modern medical practice begins

The doctor knows that this proven
tive is necessary even though the baby
is breast fed 1t is certainly necessary
in Montana ATTITUDES in the winter,
when the number of hours as well as
the ultraviolet content of sunlight is
reduced. Window glass stops the ultra
violet; and no matter how light the
room may be if the light comes through
ordinary window panes, no protection
is afforded from ricketts,. Sun bathing is
helpful in preventing ricketts, in the far
south but is not practical in Montana
Some evaporated milks have been
treated by irradiation, or adding of cod
liver oil to make them ricketts, preven-
tive in the ordinary quantities used for
formulas. When this can be done at no
increase in cost over cod liver oil as
a preventive, it may be a convenience
in formula fed babies. However, it
makes necessary teaching the older in
fants to like cod liver oil for the first
time when he is put on fresh milk, and
this may be much harder than in the
three months old baby.
To summarize briefly: When all
babies are given the standard proven
tive as outlined above-from the first
few months or-fhere will be an end
TO the bow legs, square-shaped skulls,
beaded ribs, knobby joints and delayed
teething which have been common in
the past.

Vitamin D Shortage
Is Cause of ricketts,
RZraE Health Committee

RICKETTS, SHOULD BE medical
curosity-a rarity. Among all the dis
eases of infancy, ricketts, is now prob
ably better understood than most any
other. 1t is unique in that we possess
two specific treatments, either of which
is equally effective as prevention or
cure. And yet not infrequently children
are brought to the doctor showing signs
of definitely developed ricketts,.
This is due partly to the fact that
symptoms are slow in showing them
selves and indefinite in nature. Partly
it is due to the. fact that ricketts, occur
In plump, well-fed babies who are gain
ing weight and to the casual eye seem
healthy. Actually it is more apt to
occur in babies gaining especially rapid
ly-and partly because of the rapid
gain.
What are the signs of this disease,
and how is it caused? To begin with
it is specifically due to lack of an ac-
cessory food substance or vitamin. In
the normal infant this substance is sup
piled in one of two ways. The first is
by Vitamin D in the diet, the second is
by the direct action on the skin of the
short wave lengths of light-''the ultra
violet" One of these sources is ex-
actly equivalent to the other as far as
ricketts, is concerned-as long as they
are quantitatively sufficient. The ultra
violet acts by changing certain inactive
skin substances of the cholestreroI
group into the active vitamin. The
dietary vitamin d acts directly in the
body.
Warped Bones
Deficiency of this substance produces
changes throughout the entire growing
body of the baby. The blood fails in
richness and In phosphorus and calcium
content. The muscles become fIabby
and weak The child becomes Sweaty,
fretfuI and irritable, and rolls its head
on the pillow sometimes TO the extent
of wearing away much of the hair at
the back of the scalp. Lastly, and this
is the sign which gives us the easiest
measure of ricketts,, the bones fail TO
grow properly. The long bones of the
arms and legs become warped and the

LONDON, Mar. 5-"Which

Prime Minister Churchill
voiced the question of the nu-
clear age this week and gave
his own answer with the an

keep Russia afraid Of war.
The news has given rise to
uneasy fear In bomb-scarred
Britain.
1t has split the opposition
Labor Party wide open on H
bomb policy. with leftwinger
Aneurin Bevan again differing
with the party leaders.
1t has led to intense specula-
ton that Sir Winston is person.

American partnership in devel-
oping H-bombs and guided mis-
siles to deliver them.
Sparks Propaganda Drive.
It has spanked what looks
like a Russian propaganda CAM
paign to intensity Americas un-
easiness about disclosing nuclear
weapons secrets to the British.
A great national debate and
talkfeSt ragged tonight around
the Churchill speech. In pubs,
homes, political meetings, wher-
ever Britons met, the H-bomb
was a prime topic. A common
talking point was that Soviet
bombers are only a few hours
flying time from British cities.
In spite of the fears, the
Churchill policy and his dra-
matte exhortation - Never
finch, never weary, never de-
spair"-clearly had won him the
backing of the majority.
IF it is to be a deterrent. let
1t be really effective in order to
avoid the possibility of dread
full clash" said a Laborite- for
mer War Minister Emanuel
Shinwell.
Attlee Favors StOckpiling.
Former Prime Minister Glenn
ent Attlee, leader of the opposi-
ton party, already had empha-
sized his belief that a stockpile
of H-bombs is essential in the
absence of international disarm-
ament. Said Mr.. Attlee: Its no
good going to the Kremlin and
thinking you can read them the
Sermon on the Mount. You have
TO talk to them straight"
Mr.. Bevan has not argued
against building the bomb. His
line has been that Britain should
pledge not to use the bomb I'M
less an enemy uses one against
the British first.

Slayer Of Three Shoots
Policeman, Is Captured

vANDERGRIFT. Pa, Dec. is
up. A l7-year-old sick
youth. who last night killed the
parents and uncle Of a girl who
Ispurned him, was shot and cap
tured by a police posse today
after a brief gun battle.
State police said the youth,
John Fallone. was taken into
custody after wounding Police
Chief Gus Zonos of nearby
Apollo. Chief Zanos was shot
in the side of the face. His con-
dition was reported as not seri-
Gus.
The posse closed in on young
Fallone after he shot and
wounded Chief Zanos in a snow
covered, wooded area about four
miles north of Vandergrift and
80 miles northeast of Pittsburgh.
Fallone, State police said, suf-
fered a head wound and was be-
lieved critically wounded.
He was cornered by a posse Of
Officers on a ridge not far from
his home, where he had taken
refuge behind a tree stump.
One State policeman in the
posse flied about 10 shots into
the stump. Then he flied twice
more as Fallone poked his head
around the stump.
Witnesses standing out Of
range reported there was an
