Protection From Rickets

By Harman N. Bundesen, M. 0. RICKETS Is a condition due to lark of vitamin D. sometime* known an the “sunshine" vitamin Formed by the body Itself In the presence of sunshine. It la essential to atronit bones and Rood general health Without it. neither calcium nor phoaphorua ran he used by the body. In consequence the bonea are softened to the point where they cannot do their job of supporting the weight For thia reaaon. the baby with rickets la likely to develop bowlegs and other de fortuities He alao haa weak, flabby muscles. aweata a great deal, and grows crone and Irrit aM». Os late years babies hare been protected against thia disease by the giving of preparations contain Ing vitamin D. beginning when they are about two weeks old Sometimes. particularly in the case of premature babies whn are more susceptible to rickets than those bort at tali teriß. It Is started earlier Recently a cheaper and more convenient way of doing this haa been discovered Studies have been <arrled out not only on animals but also with infants, which Show that it fa possible to protect norma' babies against rickets for a period vary Ing treat sir to twelve months by giving them a series of injections of vitamin D in oil The injection in given into n muscle It is suggested that the bast time dor the one of this preventive measure to dB ttoi eighth day after

The Indianapolis News editortally comments on the farm outlook, with the following paragraph: “Time was when bumper crops spelled ruinous prices and economic disaster for the farmer. With world wide trade demand rising to the point that It has, and with no forraeeable drop In vastly expanded consumption requirements. this picture no longer obtains. Quite the reverse. In another report, the Agriculture Department says farm Income for the first half of 1943 is expected to total *12.600,000, or 3 percent above the peak dollar return of last year.” A New York City cotsple make a hobby of walking. In the 20 years of their married life they have walked 12.000 miles, always over big i Ity sidewalks For their va cation this year they were to walk about Utica and Albany They be lieve this method of touring a city gives them opportunity really to know it. Io study its historic spots, its architecture and to become acquainted with its citizens. They have walked over Fan Francisco, Boston. New Orleans. Denver, St Louis. They have walked the full length of every street in Manhattan. the Bronx. Brooklyn and Queens. They hope to finish up Staten Island by winter. o o Good Years Ahead: Most of today s prophets are full of gloomy forebodings, seeing no brightness within their crystal balls, but such is not the case with the group of investigators who recently made a study for the Agriculture Committee of the House of Representatives. In spite of the fact that the population of the United States is expected to increase until by 1975 there will be 15 or 20 percent more consumers, the increase in the amount ot efficiency of farm machinery will raise output up to 50 percent more than the present amount, they said Though the small one-family farm is not expected to do so well, a rise is looked for in the number of large, commercially operated agricultural set-ups. More city workers will live in the country, and at the same time farmers will have more of the advantages of urban living. The report adds that efficiency and good business methods must be used by farmers if they are to keep up with this conversion. Many city workers have always yearned for the space, fresh air and supposed freedom of country life, while farm residents have wished for the cultural and social advantages found in the city.

. on. this was reduced to one-fourth » of this amount However, In order ‘ to he more certain that the rickets will be prevented, it is recommended that 12.500 units be given to protect the Infant agalnat rickI ets. especially when it is living ■ In a region where, during the fail ■ and winter months, sunshine Is greatly reduced The smaller done ■ may he used in climates where es ■ posure to sunshine during the fall t and winter months can be more ' liberal • Premature Infants are given the full dose of 12. WO units during the . winter period and the same done : during the summer period. There would seem to be no objection to repeating the Injections of vitamin f> each year during the latter part of September or the early part of Otober It would appear from the studies already made that such a method of preventing rlcketa to quite satisfactory and should be weed if additional studies confirm the studies already reported QUESTIONS AND ANSWCRS J.

CHAPTER TWENTY I THE FIREPLACE balanced the I wide door to the library and at the i other end of the room a aeries of windows went across the entire I width. There were windows cut l tn the bam wall to the south, too, I so that the view of the mountaina was framed by them. But on the i north, or road, stde of the old 1 bam the two small original windows had been left, and no new ones added. "Just enough so 1 can see who's coming, and dodge out the back if I want to," Andrew told Mrs. Potts with a chuckle. "Besides, I needed quite a Mt of wall spacesome of my mother's things are rather large, and 1 didn't want them crowded between the windows" He showed her the wood for the mantelpiece, which was standing in one comer. It had the same simple moulding as the wainscoting, and would rise ail the way to the ceiling. "I'm leaving the rafters, of course," Andrew said, "and, as you can see, the walls will be plastered. I'll have them painted next year or so." “How about a cellar? What's under here, anyhow? Won't it be cold in winter?" "There's a deep air space,” he told her, "and I had it enlarged. That was the really expensive job. I’ve figured oh plenty of heating, and the pipes are in—well insulated. But if it gets too terribly cold, I can always retire to the library for a few days." Mrs. Potto shook her head. "But what do you want all this room forf” she asked in real puxslsment "A lone man like you And there’s so much!" She waved her arm, taking in the huge living room, and the library beyond it “You'll Just rattle around in it—that's what! Unless,” she added, studying him With a speculative eye, “unless you're planning on getting married.” *T might do that, too,** he answered easily. "Some day. Now come and see my bedroom, and then we ll take in the other side at the house. I've hardly had to touch this room, or the dining room. But I'm modernising the bathroom and the kitchen." Mrs. Potts was in her element. She was able, to her intense sailsfactlca. to point out that ts he moved the shed to the kitchen side of the house for use as • garage, the door, as he bad planned ft, would open at the hood ee»d of the cdr, instead of the rear. "Add land knows there’s not enough space for you to wiggle around that Mg ear without getting your Clothes dirty. Now, it’s aS right at this and—you'd be safe. And another thing-the way you've got it now, that door would always be taking into your refrtgernter. But if you put it ever there. It won’t interfere with aaythtaw” “You're right," he said, making hurried rates on a scratch pad. “I knew I should have brought you out here earlier th the game." He AgWsd rapidly. “It wOn't mdke too much dUferoMe ia the iayoiX.

City Flan CemmiMlon The I*4? session of Indiana’s General Assembly enacted legislation Which authorised city governments to set up more effective planning commissions with legal authority to work toward better communities with more adequate facilities to serve trowing populsHons Under this Ari Decatur set up a City Planning Commission consisting at fcmr dtlsen members and three members of the city administration, the Mayor. City Engineer and a council memtier. The purpose of the commia(|Oß is to set up a planned program for the improvement of the city taking into coaoiderauon soning. educational and recreational facilities. sewage disposal. Street and highways and all Other phases of community Ilfs which are a factor in the health, safely and welfare of local cltisena. The active functioning of a planning commlsalon will not mean the extravagant expenditure ot public funds, for one of the commission's principal responsibilities is the development of local facilities within the means available toj the cty. Nor will the introduction of city planning mean a confusing! array of new laws. Instead, the! city council will be called upon'
