PAGE THREE F and squeeze the Juice n-om that end piece for one feeding, then turn the cut surface of the orange Into a plate or saucer and set It In a cool place until the baby's next feeding time. Then cut off another small piece of the orange, squeeze out of It another spoonful or two of Juice, as required, and again turn the cut surface of the orange Into the plate to keep for the next feeding and to on. Tomatoes, fresh or canned, may b used for the baby's tomato Juloe. Strain off his portion of the Juice when you open the can. and keep it closely covered In the coolest place you have. All this brings us back to the nu tritionists' advice to mothers and houMwlvee, repeated week after week by the Bureau of Home Economics In print and by radio and Intended to apply to all the family: MAKE SUFE FIRST OP THE PROTECTIVE POODS. ESPECIALLY POR THE CHILDREN, and then buy the other foods you need. If that rule Is followed the baby will pt his milk and his fruit juice, the older cnlldr,n and the rest of the family will get theirs, too. In other words, the children should have tomatoes or oranges or the Juice every day. As soon as they can take it, give them, every day, a green or yellow vegetable and some other fruit or vegetable besides. These are not all the foods they need, of coiiw. But they are the ones they ar most like ly not to get unless somebody sees to Propinquity Wins. CHARLOTTE, N. C (UP) After working side by side for years, Issu ing marriage licenses.

IN DIET OF BABIES ! 4 Vst iiiiliiiilR Important Vitamin C Which Prevents Scurvy Most Easily Insured by Regular- Feeding of Juices MEDFO-RD MAIL TRIBU5TE, MEDFORD, OftEGON. FSTDXY. .TC3TE 14. mss. D! 5 fsi K J' ? H When a doctor sees, in a children's hospital within four months' time. 17 babies seriously 111 with scurvy, he knows that something is very wrong in that community. Seventeen cases of scurvy are bad enough in them selves, but for each case that comes to the hospital, there are sure to be many other ailing babies outside, with nobody knowing Just what Is the matter with them. This happened recently In one of our big cities. It happened becauw the babies had not had the right food. Probably the same thing is happen ing In other places where many peo ple have t)een out of work for a long time and their families have been on short rations. It can happen, however, where there Is plenty of all kinds of food except vegetables and fruits. Or where people do not choose to eat enough vegetables and fruits. It ran happen to babies that have plenty of milk and cod-liver oil and cereal but no orange or tomato Juice. Vitamin C Needed Scurvy is due to the lack of one particular food substance vitamin C. which we get chiefly from vege tables and fruits. Adults who eat plenty of vegetables and fruits do not have scurvy- Nr do babies that have orange Juice or tomato Juice every day. But anybody, young or old. who goes for a long time without such foods, or with not enough of them, will sooner or later show symptoms of scurvy. It may be mild at first, but gradually, as time goes on and vitamin C foods are still lacking, the disease becomes acute. - So the baby's orange Juice, or to mato Juice, Is by no means Just a fad or new-fangled notion. It la true our parents and grandparents, per haps we ourselves, never had orange juice when we were babies. Oranges were too scarce. They came at Christ mas time, for good children only, out of Santa Claus pack. As for toma toes, some people thought they were poison! Nobody thought these foods were necessary for babies then. But times have changed especially for the babies. The United States Children's Bureau. In its directions for infants' care, advises a regular feeding of orange Juice or tomato Juice for the baby every day, begin ning when he is a month old. This In addition to his milk and cod-liver oil. It Is a safeguard against scurvy. Mother's Milk Scarcer But why do we iay this now, when babies used to get along without any orange or tomato Juice? Nutritionist of the Bureau of Home Economics In the U. S. Department of Agriculture tell you why: Babies that live on their mothers' milk are not likely to have scurvy. This Is true for two reasons: The mother's milk contains vitamin C. if the mother has plenty of vegetables and fruits to eat, and the baby gets the milk before any vitamin value can be lost. But many, many babies nowadays do not live entirely on their mother's milk. And in times of un employment and scarcity of money or food, many mothers do not have the vegetables and fruits they need to make their milk rich In vitamin C. Bottle-fed babies and there are many of them do not get much, if any, vitamin O from the cow's milk that Is in their bottles. Cow's milk when fresh from the cow does con tain vitamin C, provided the cow is well-fed. but much of the vitamin C Is lost before the milk can be deliv ered to your door. Cow's milk Is usu ally pasteurized for the baby's use, in order to kill any harmful bacteria It may contain bacteria which might cause tuberculosis, or diphtheria, or some other infectious disease. To pas teurize milk, you heat It. This heat ing destroys vitamin O. Lost In Pasteurizing For the bottle-fed baby, then, his milk must be pasteurized to protect him from infectious diseases, even though this process destroys the vita min C tn milk, for there are otner foods that furnish vitamin C. Or-j ange Juice and tomato Juice are the ' best of such foods because they are ' so rich in vitamin C and because the baby can take them better than he can take the vegetables and fruit his i p&rents and the older children may ' use such vegetables as cabbage, j green peppers, and greens of all kinds, j and such fruits as apples, peaches. ! and berries. j Por the baby, in fact, orange Juice i and tomato juice are probably the ' most economical and convenient sources of vitamin r as well as the richest. The baby needs so little a ' teaspoon of strained orange Juice twice a day. by the end of his first j month, then 3 teaspoons, then a I tablespoon twice a day by his third month. Of tomato juice, you give him about vice as much each time, i It Is true that the babies' fruit : Juices cost a little more than their cereal, and more, in proportion, than their milk. But thev do not cost much at that, and few mothers wruld fall to provio them somehow. ; if only they realized how important they are, Relief agencies, so far as they can do so. try to make sure the children of families on their lists get ', foods rich in vitamin C But appar enlv. to quote one doctor, some mothers "think M the fruit Juices as a nice thing fr the baby if they can be readily afforded, but not as a real necessity When the shoe pinches the juices will be among the first things to he drorred from the budget." Don't Let Juice Stand To provide oranee Juice for the baby alone, you need 2 or 3 oranges a wk. depending fn size and juiciness Nvr squeeze the orange and let the juice stand, however. It v'T':::v,r.
