Boards, such as are used for
rough shelves, often split when
nails are driven into them. To pre-
vent this hold the nail upside-down
with its head on the ground, and
give the point a tap with the ham-

Mystery of Cod-Liver Oil
Cod-liver oil had been used for
many years because of its sup-
posedly ’’tonic” or ’’building"
properties, when it was observed
that regular doses of cod-liver
oil not only cured rickets in chil-
dren, but also cured the corre-
sponding disease in adults, called
osteomalacia, in which the bones
become soft as the calcium and
phosphorus already deposited in
them are withdrawn and excreted.
Need for Calcium and Phosphorus
The two principal minerals re-
quired for constructing the bones
and teeth are calcium, obtained
chiefly from milk, cheese and
green leafy vegetables, and phos-
phorus, found in generous amounts
in eggs, whole grain cereals and
dried legumes. But one of the
things that made it so difficult for
scientists to determine the cause
of rickets was the fact that appar-
ently well fed children, who had
plenty of calcium and phosphorus,
frequently developed the disease.

lulled them to sleep. Bella are the
simplest, yet the most compelling
musical instrument in the world and
it is fitting that they should ton the
universal message of Christmas, of
“Peace on Earth, Good Will to
Men.”
Fat and Vitamin 0
One of the strangest paradoxes
to the scientists in their early
investigations was the fact that
while cod-liver oil appeared to cure
rickets, another substance high in
fat—butter fat, did not. More re-
search work was necessary before
it was discovered that while but-
ter was rich in vitamin A, cod-
liver oil contained two vitamins,
one of which was later named
vitamin D.
Vitamin D and Rickets
Vitamin D is associated
mately with the prevention
cure of rickets, the most devastat-
ing nutritional disease of children
in temperate climates. Indeed, it
is the moderate, and in some cases
the small amount of sunshine in
the temperate zone that accounts
partially for the presence of
rickets.
Historians have given us reason
to believe that this disease may
have existed in England even be-
fore the Roman conquest. Cer-
tainly it appeared in a serious
form, both in England and in other
North European countries, in the
Seventeenth century. In fact, early
literature refers to it as the Eng-
lish disease, and the early at-
tempts to fathom its causes were

Effect of Sunlight
More work was necessary and
it took years of patient effort be-
fore science unraveled the mys-
tery of how sunlight could have
the same apparent effect in pre-
venting rickets as cod-liver oil.
Once nutritionists understood
how sunlight acting on a fatty sub-
stance in the skin could produce
vitamin D, however, it was not
difficult to carry the process a
step further and learn how to forti-
Discovery of Vitamin D
After years of patient work and
many thrilling and dramatie ex-
periments, seven
forms of vitamin D
have been revealed
by science. And
scientists have also
solved the mystery
of how such widely
sepa rated factors as
cod-liver oil; sun-
light; a diet that is
rich in, and care-
fully balanced with
calcium and phos-
phorus; and ultra-
violet light, all can perform the
same service for the body.
Readers of this column may
have observed that the discovery
of a number of the vitamins oame
about chiefly through the efforts of
investigators to discover a method
of treating or curing obscure nu-
tritional diseases. In most in-
stances, however, carefully con-
trolled laboratory experiments
played their part in reaching the
ultimate goal after some clue had
been found as to what the myste-
rious substance might be that
helped to control a baffling nutri-
tional disease. The discovery of
vitamin D was no exception!
So important is vitamin D con-
sidered, that the United States
Children’s Bureau advises that
cod-liver oil or some other form of
this vitamin be supplied to all
babies, beginning at the age of
two or three weeks.
Mothers should be guided by the
advice of their physician in de-
termining when to start the use of
a vitamin D preparation and what
quantities to give. But if they
want to give their babies the bless-
ing bestowed on them by the sci-
entists who discovered vitamin D,
they must not overlook this impor-
tant substance.
As guardians of the health of
both children and adults, mothers
should see to it that vitamin D
is supplied regularly through the
use of eggs and salmon; irradi-
ated foods and those fortified with
vitamin D; and if necessary, fish-
liver oils or concentrates.
Afternoon Dress.
This is a lovely design, very
smart and new. It does very nice
things to your figure. The wide
girdle makes you look doll-waist-
ed, the gathered bodice fills out
your bustline, and the full skirt
is extremely graceful. The high
neckline is scalloped to make it
softer and more becoming. In
velvet, silk crepe, satin, or thin
wool, this will be one of the pret-
tiest afternoon dresses
owned!
Suspender Skirt With
Here's a perfectly _
new princess skirt, in suspender
fashion, topped by a short little

the skirt with your own blouses,
or just with the jacket so that
you'll find it very useful. See how
tiny it makes your waist look, and
notice the cute, crescent-shaped
pockets. Very simple to make,
like all two-piece styles. Choose
tweed, wool crepe, plaid or
flannel.

Each nation has its individual symbols of Christmas: In
England there is the Yule log, in France the candles and in
Holland the wooden shoe. But throughout the entire world
there is one universal symbol, the bells of Christmas.
This is strange because bells were not associated with the
church until at least 400 A. D. when Paullnus, an Italian bishop
installed them in his church. ♦ ■
Some bell authorities claim
that Pope Sabinlanus gave us
the first church bells in 604.
The custom has grown until
there is perhaps no use of
church bells so widely known
in Christian countries as the
ringing of chimes to herald
the advent of the birth of
Christ From huge cathedrals to
tiny country churches, from the fro-
zen arctic to the sunny tropics, the
bells peal forth each Christmas sea-
son an old, old story of “Peace on
Earth, Good Will to Men."
America’s very national existence
is wrapped up in the priceless Lib-
erty bell at Philadelphia, and cer-
tainly no one can say that bell mu-
sic isn't the most democratic music ’■
in the world. It's always free, un-'
restricted to any few who can buy
tickets to a concert.
In recent years the ancient bell
has “grown up” into the carillon, a
highly sensitive instrument on
which Christmas carols seem to find
their most perfect expression. There
are now more than 200 of these
instruments, 30 of them in the Unit-
ed States. Similar to the carillon,
but differing in the number of bells,
tuning and arrangement of key-
board, are chimes. Some of the
finest chimes hang in English ca-
thedrals and spread the Christmas
message each December.
A chapter in the history of bells
may be found in the story of al-
most any creed or culture. First
known in the East, they were used
by aboriginal people as ornaments.
They came down through Grecian
days and called Roman citizens to i
the forums, later summoning early i
Christians to worship. In the Mid- ■
die ages they called people to arise, I
guided the far-away traveler.
Napoleon loved bells so dearly he ;
would not destroy them, while Hen- i
ry VIII took fiendish delight in de-
stroying them.
Belts have made people laugh and
cry, have stirred them to action and

Vitamin D? Relates Need for and Sources
Of This Necessary Vitamin
By C. HOUSTON GOUDISS
THERE is scarcely a mother of a young baby today who
has not at one time or another been told to give her child
cod-liver oil. Perhaps she does not know this substance must
be given to the baby for the vitamin D that it contains. But
she hat heard that there is something in cod-liver oil which
makes it valuable to the baby's health.
A generation ago, cod-liver — ---
oil was given to children in the *
winter time, “to build them
up” after colds or various
other respiratory illnesses. It
was not until 1921, however,
that a long series of painstak-
ing investigations, terminat-
ing in the discovery of vita-
min D, made it clear that
cod-liver oil is valuable as a
source of vitamin D, and also
why this vitamin is essential
in the diet of growing chil-
dren, as well as adults.
