More development east and west of this district, means more

So, in this good fortune of her neighbors, assured and projected,

Fair criticism, of my pictures is what I need, to set me right;
so hand me out your .sternest strictures, and I'll receive them

The Cause of
In order to avoid misunderstand
ing, let us tnke off from this substan
tial fact: It never hurts to grow.
Even when growth becomes so exces
sive as to amount to a disease (for
instance, in the con
d i 1 1 o n physicians
know as gigantism),
the 'enormous
growth is not pain
ful. To call the
aches and pains
which some children
complain of "grow
ing pains'- is there
fore a mistake, quite
as Inexcusable as it
fs to ascribe some
vague disturbance of
health or undiag
nosed disease to one's age. ..As for
that, the truth" of tho ' matter is that
children who actually grow the most
rapidly are least likely to complain
of these pains In the legs or arms, the
majority of youngsters who suffer
with "growing pains' being some
what retarded in growth. This is
rather to be expected, for tho pains
are in reality an expression of a dis
ease condition which impairs nutri
tion and handicaps growth.
In the few cases in children two or
three years old these pains are caused
by rickets. This Is a nutritional dis
order involving tho whole system and
not just the bones, and its prevention
and cure call for (1) exposure of the
skim to sunlight as much as possible,
(2) sufficient exorcise, and (3) unde
naturlzed food, that is, food which has
not been robbed of its mineral con
tent or its vitamins by processes of
manufacture, refinement, preparation
or preservation. From 10 to 20 drops
of cod liver oil two or three times a
day may be given tho child with any
indication of rickets, as an effective
way to supply the important fat sol
uble vitamin A. '
Plain cod liver oil in this way is a
good remedy for these "growing
pains."
Any complaint of such pains by a
child should lead to a careful exam
ination of the child's heart by the
physician. In some cases the vague
recurring pains are the only outward
Indication of a low grade of tonsil in
fection which becomes the septic fo
cus or source of that low grade septi
cemia or systemic infection popularly
known as "rheumatism, " and this
type of infection seems to have a spe
cial affinity for the endothelial tis
sue or serous membrane which lines
tho joints and the heart In such low
grade septicemic Infections involv
mont of a heart- valve is as likely to
happen as lameness or Inflammation
iny any of the joints, and is ordinarily
a painless incident, often not suspected
by the parents and perhaps not even
brought to the attention of the phys
ician unless by chance later in life.
In a Vonsiderable share of all cases
of valvular heart disease the damage
is not recogniezd until long after its
occurrence.
Any child with "growing pains" and
tonsils and adenoids which are dis
eased or infected in tho Judgment of
the physician should be operated on
without dallying or quibbling about
fancied dangers of the operation or
imaginary evils which come from the
loss of these vestiges of useful organs.
Although nearly any k mall order or
short cut healer in quest of patronage
can suggest hypothetical uses or func
tions for the tonsijs or the adenoid

QUESTION'S AN I) ANSWERS .
Exercise and Grow Ix-aui Fat.
Some people argue that strenuous
exercises tend to strengthen the mus
cles and make a person fat, and I am
taking exercises morning andevening
to reduce. Please straighten me out
on this question, as I certainly do not
wish to got fatter. (Audrey.)
Answer. Frail underdeveloped
youths may gain some weight by
means of general exercise. Thousands
of f underdeveloped young .men, from ,
stores and offices gained an average'
of 10 to 12 pounds in the first few
I months in camp when they entered
the army. But exendse cortainly
never makes fat folks fatter. On tho
contrary it can scarcely fall to make
them thinner, provided ttfey do not
consume a greater amount of food.
Mother Moves to Amend.
For some time I have read your
column with interest nnd approval but
as the mother of small children i must
voice my disgust at the filthy habit of
spitting on the sidewalk which Is so
widespread. Were you the mother of
a 2-ycar-old who falls frequently you
would fully nppreclato what I mean
Mjjien I say that this habit is nauseating
and disgusting. Men, being naturally
more selfish than women, cannot real
ize what a horror the filthy condition
of our sidewalks Is to one such as my
self. Wishing you success and hoping
you will always use your great in
fluence to help us mothers. . . (H.

Answer Nearly every civilfzed city
has an ordinaneo covering the offense.
If I were a mother I should not hesi

filthy beast I saw breaking tho law.

In certaain conditions hen cougmng
is not essential, but would be inadvis

nugnt no very essential. Thus, pa
tients In the earlier stages of tubercu

to do this with considerable advantage
in giving moro rest to tho lungs. On
