It was not the editor of this column who placed food first, but I certainly agree that without adequate food the child will not grow and develop proâ€" perly. Straight, wellâ€"formed bodies, good teech and resistance to infection are childhood assets for which food is responsible. The essentials of diet are plenty of safe milk, a daily supply of fruits and vegetables, some of them raw, eggs, meat, fish or cheese, bread, cereals, butter and other fats with some sweets. We must also make some provision for a a supply of Vitamin D. some of which may come from the sun in the summer, but for which we will need cod liver oil or vitamin D milk.

Ladies of the committee in charge of the tea were Mesdames Shark, Bessette, Dogue, Adamson, McLellan, Evans, M. Smith and Miss Shav:. The candy table, in charge of Gvides, netted a nice little sum and the baking table presided over by the ladies of the committee contributed its quota to the good cause. The tables looked springâ€"like and pretty (this was a May Day tea‘!), dafâ€" fodils being used for decoration, and a very dainty tea was served. They were serving tea to mothers and friends, some of whom came from the Paymaster and the Pamour Mines, to help by having tea and the good things which had been made in the homes of the Guides and Brownies for this occasion.

I have never written about vitiligo before because skin specialists, not knowing the cause, have been lunable to obtain results from treatment.. Sir Malcolm Morris, the British skin auâ€" thority, in his textbook states that leucodermia is likely due to some nerâ€" vous disturbance as changes have been found in the nerves supplying the whitened patches of skin. However what may mean a cure for this unusual skin ailment is suggested by Dr. Noah E. Aronstam, Detroit, in Medical World. Dr. Aronstam sugâ€" gests that the adrenal glands situated one above each kidney may be at fault and that just as extracts of the thyâ€" roid, the pancreas, the pituitary and other glands are used to supply these juices in the body when needed, so in cses of vitiligo should extract of the adrenal glands be injected into the musclesâ€"one injection daily for 10 days of an extract equal to 5 grammes of the adrenal cortex. The blood presâ€" sure should be watched as extract of the adrenal glandâ€"adrenalin or epiâ€" nephrineâ€"helps maintain or increase blood pressure. The injections must be reduced to three a week if the blood pressure is greatly increased. The spots are usually circular or cval, but may be irregular in shape and may appear anywhere on the skin excepri. the palms of the hands and the soles of the feet. The cause of vitiligo is unknown; that it may be due to some children‘s infectious ailment such as scarlet fever cr measles is sometimes suggested as it never appears before the age of ten. The distinguishing symptom of clerâ€" cdermi aor vitiligo as it is frequently called is that the pigment or natural coloring of the skin looks as if it had seen drawn away from the white spot and had heaped itself in the edges. The white spot is very smocth to the touchk. GOLDFIELDS DRUG STOREF PHONE 648 FOR APPOINTMENT Claire Clayton OPPOSHTE THE HEADGUARTERS FOR oobA .
