Bradv. M. D
ItwtructloM. Address l)r. William Brady Id tut of
eiue is now being urged nnnn'im-
provement upon cod liver oil in the
prevention and the euro of rickets.
I may be more Irish than Scotch,
but 1 don't believe I'd part with,
any extra dollars for vioslcrol or
ergoterol if I were responsible for
the baby's nutrition, not as long
us T could get plain cod liver oil
for the kid say 10 drops two or
three times a day at the ago of
.six weeks, and gradually increas-
j ing week by week, till a dose of a
tcaspootitul two or three times a
day is reached at the ngeof, say,
ti months, and after that a daily
tablespoon ful, except maybe holi
days of obligation, until the baby
attains the age of 1 year. After
the first year It is just extrava
gance to buy cod liver oil for the
normal baby, and it should not be
given the child excupt under def
inite instructions of the doctor.
K. Musser of the college of
agriculture, Unroln, Neb., Is a
scientific authority who asserts
that the present standard by which
the vitamin value of foods or med
icines is measured is of question
able accuracy, and he backs up
this opinion with sound evidence,
lie holds that the use of rats for
feeding experiments leads to faul
ty conclusions, since rats can and
do thrive on a far lefts adequate
vitamin rati o n, comparatively,
than even fo t, to say nothing of
human beings.
This brings once more to mind
the great need for human material
lor scientific research. I hope no
nuts will call me to task about the
cruelty of my suggestions, when I
repeat that we ought to use the
prisons would eagerly oner them
I selvt
such material and that
they would gain both morally nnd
pb.xslcally by their slight service

"That's too bad.'' said Knele Hill,
and to the maid, "I guess-you ran

Hurton waited hopefully for a
few minutes and watched his titicle
emptying his plate with gusto,

"Undo Hill. I've changed my mind.

How many or us reel that we

his friends aa "Scnrlace,'' because
of an unfortunate early incident,
lias that' Tooling.
, Airs. KUianor Patterson, Brand
daughter of the lain Joseph Me.dill,
an editor of the Washington Her
ald, tells yon about it.
Being in Miami, w here Mr, ,Ca
pono mainlains a winter residence,
and knowing that editors should
sock information at the sources, she
called on the distinguished Chicago
citizen," who, says Mrs. Patterson,
"stood hy his gate, with six athletic
energetic, looking young men, walk
ing about not far from him." The
fact that many have threatened to
kill Capone, although not to his
face, makes him interesting.
When Mrs. Patterson said: "I
am Joe Patterson's sister," Mr.
Capone said: "Come right In and
sit down."
To tell a Chicagoan that you are
Joe Patterson's sister is like tell
ing a Jarisian that you are the
sister of tho Eiffel tower.,
Mr. Capone led the way to his
beautiful residence, the six athletic
young men keeping, unobtrusively,
close hy.
Even ladies have been known to
shoot, although the distinguished
young editor of the Washington
Herald had no shooting thoughts.
She was interested in studying i
man of power.
And, says Mrs. Patterson; "Ca
pone has great power. His hands
are extraordinarily powerful. The
muscles stand out under his
tightly fitting gloves. He is only
32 years of . age., His neck seems
strong enough to hold the weight
of ten men and" (pointing to a

Austrian statue of Colleoni, the
great Venetian condottiere), "he
