SUNLIGHT STARVATION
Frederick D. Sticker, collaborat
ing epodemlologist of the Oregon
State Board of Health, gives to the
state press the following splendid
article to the value of sun rays in
health building:
The sun has been shining since
the begining of the world, yet there
are people, in this advanced age who
do not appreciate the value of the
sun and the sun's rays.
Many diseases are due to a lack
of sufficient hours spent in the sun.
Sunlight is a necessity of life.
Green plants removed from sun
light soon fade and lose their vital
ity. People who are confined in
dark places away from daylight
become pale and tend to lose their
normal healthy vigor. Such per
sons have a pasty skin, are apt to
be tired and listless and are an easy
prey to germ infections, especially
those of the lungs, nose and throat.
The tendency to avoid the sun's
benefits by remaining in-doors is all
too general, especially during the
cold weather period.
Sunlight is only a small part of
a vast sea of energy waves which
are constantly pouring through
space, Only a narrow band of the
waves emanating from the sun is
interpreted by the human eye as
light. White light or daylight, is
made up of component rays which
represent the seven primary colors
of the spectrum. Below the visible
light lies the region of the invisible
ultraviolet rays which possess im
portant physiological properties.
The ultraviolet light of sunshine
increases the germicidal power of
the blood and increases the resist
ance to infection. The prevention
and cure of rickets are important
effects the sunlight. The ultraviolet
light causes the absorption of cer
tain mineral salts which are concern
ed in the building of the teeth and
bones. It increases hemoglobin or
red coloring miatter of the blood and
acts as a general tonic.
These short rays produce redness
and subsequent tanning of the skin
after exposure to sunshine. Persons
who have not been tanned recently
should observe caution in the first
few exposures to direct sunlight. .It
is well to expose oneself to sunlight
gradually. The most satisfactory re
suit obtained from sunshine without
ill effects is to expose the bare skin
for a time long enough to produce a
slight but not uncomfortable red
ness, followed by tanning. As the
degree of tanning increases the time
of succeeding exposures can be in
creased. The first exposure should
not be longer than thirty minutes,
The best and correct way to get the
benefits of these ultraviolet rays is
to let children enjoy to the fullest
extent the sun's rays.
Persons having tuberculosis should
not undertake to expose themselves
to Bunshine without consulting a
physician as there may be danger to
such persona from overdosage.
The greatest preventive and cura
tive agents are open air, sunshine,
good nutrition and plenty of rest and
sleep.
think of his stand against the de
benture clause in the farm relief bill,
inasmuch as Kansas will produce
160,000,000 bushels of wheat for
market this year more wheat than
any other four states in the Union,
combined.
A law which Harold Clifford, state
game warden, believes will protect
human life and save many livestock
went into effect last Tuesday. It pro.
vides that the penalty for night hunt
ing of game shall be a minimum fine
of $200 and a maximum of $1000 or
from 30 days to six months in jail,
Another regulation effective at the
same time is that cutting the bag
limit on mule deer from two to one
and the limit on ducks from 25 to 15
a day and 30 to 20 a week. These
regulations were made at the last ses
sion of the legislature.

England's new labor government
will establish the precedent of send
ing its prime minister to the United
States to confer with President Hoov
er over problems confronting the wel
fare of the two nations. Minister
Ramsay McDonald, idol of the labor
world, proposed the trip and leaders
in Britian approve the plan, which is
almost startling in its originality and
cuts abruptly across traditional ideas
of diplomacy.
21 Years Ago
Sidney Franklin of Brooklyn, New
York, "Lindyized" Spain the other
day when he assumed the role of
toreador and killed two bulls
in the ring. Shouting "Viva le
Americano" the multitude gave him
a crushing ovation. All of which
would indicate that America posses
ses a bull fighting ambassador as well
as a flying one.
: o
Frank O. Lowden, ex-governor of
Illinois, addressing the graduating
class at University of Oregon, made
this statement: "I still believe that
representative government which our
fathers sought to establish is the best
hope of the earth," he said. "I cannot
close my eyes, though, to the fact
that it is now on the defensive."
The state market agent calls at
tention to a decision rendered in
March of this year by the supreme
court of Oregon which is of interest
to buyers and sellers of seeds or
other crop materials. A man near
Jefferson bought from a local mer
chant that the farmer desired and
the seller represented to be Rosen
rye, intending it for a pasture crop
for sheep. It turned out to bo com
mon rye and of far less value as
such pasture. The farmer sued for
damages and lost his case in circuit
court, but on appeal the supreme
court reversed the decision and held
that "where specified goods are sold
in compliance with an order describ
ing the goods, the seller is held to
warrant that the goods are of the
kind ordered. Where there Is a con
tract to sell or a sale of goods by
description, there is an implied war
ranty that the goods shall correspond
with the description." It was held
also that the true measure of dam
ages is the difference between the
value of the crop raised by plaintiff
and a crop of Rosen rye.
Senator Borah of Idaho and Sena
tor Allen of Kansas, both good re
publicans who helped elect Hoover,
are at outs over the export deben
ture plan. Borah demands enact
, ment of the debenture section of the
farm relief plan as a redemption of
the party's campaign pledges, while
Allen contends that failure of con
gress to include the debenture in the
bill is not a violation of the republi
can platform. It would be interest
ing to know what Allen's constituents
Twelve thousand people were pres
ent at the union station in Portland,
Sunday evening when three crack,
61 hour trains to Chicago started
on the initial trip. The de luxe trains
of the Union Pacific, Great Northern
and Northern Pacific, virtual rolling
palaces, drew the plaudits of the ad
miring throng.

Reading of the dotth of 125 people
in a Cleveland hospital as the result
of inhalation of poison gas, gives ono
but slight idea of the terrible de
struction of human life that poisonous
gas wrought in the trenches of the
World War.

Most cookt have had much trouble
making oW reelpea that hare been
handed down for
g e neratlont
ln their families.
The hlt-or-mlss
methods of meas
uring, by long ex
perience seemed
to be a perfect
system, but when
asked to pass along proportions, trou
ble began. The old blue cup held
more than the ordinary cups; there
was no standard of cups. The piece
of butter the size of an egg varied as
to our Idea of eggs. A pinch of this
might mean anything from a teaspoon
ful to a saltspoonful; pinches varied
in a marked degree.
There will always be born cooks
who measure with the eye, who in
some Intuitive way know when pro
portions are correct and how much
should go Into the mixing bowl We
who must be exact will do well to let
those who are successful go on In
their unmeasured way.
Anyone who can read, understands
simple fractions, and has ordinary
common sense can learn to cook.
In accurate measurements lies half
the secret of good cooking. The right
kind of temperature in cooking or bak
ing is another important matter.
The days are over when the handle
less cup, the cracked bowl, the heap
ing teaspoonful and the rounding ta
blspoonful can be used. It has taken
time to standardize cups, to have uni
form spoons for measuring. Even
now one must use care In buying such
utensils as often the measuring cup
lacks a tablespoonful of the standard
size.
A measuring cup should contain six
teen tablespoonfuls of liquid (level, of
course) ; even liquids will heap up in
a spoon.
A tablespoon should hold three level
tenspoonfuls of liquid.
, "A standard measuring cup should
also be divided Into thirds, and into
quarters for convenience of measure
ment, and one of each should be In the
equipment.
