CHILDREN IN THEIR TEENS
Probably because the practlo
of giving infant a daily ration
of vitamin D Is now almost uni-
versal, there Is
a prevalent be
lief that cal
cium deficien
cy occur
mainly in in
fants. The pur
pose of giving
vitamin o is
of course to
pr o m o t e as
similation and
utilization of
calcium.
Probably be-
nutritlonal de-
Dr. Brady
cause rickets, a
flciency disease due to lack of
sufficient calcium (and phos
phorus) and vitamin D, is usual
ly most manifest between the
sixth and 18th months, a good
many physicians still think it
is all right for a child past a
year or VA years of age to wor
ry along without the daily ration
of vitamin D,
Fortunately a considerable
number of children of pre-school
and school age do get along very
well without taking vitamin D
at all if they happen to enjoy
a reasonable amount of expos
ure of skin to sunshine or sky-
shine. The ultra-violet In sun
light activates ergosterol in the
skin, converting it into vitamin
D. So the more clothing and the
more time' spent indoors the
greater the Individual's require
ment for vitamin D.
According to Spies and Butt
(Diseases of Metabolism, Dun
can, '42) "about 75 per cent of
rickets escapes diagnosis" and
this sad state of affairs Is due
largely to tne faulty conception
of rickets which some physicians
have their diagnostic thresh
old Is reached only by the
square-headed, pot-bellied baby
with delayed teething and walk
ing and I, Brady, might add
that these old time practitioners
do far too much poll-parrot
squawking about "the vitamin
fad" to cover their diagnostic in
competency. -
Deficient assimilation and uti
lization of phosphorus as well as
calcium and vitamin D accounts
for rickets. As phosphorus oc
curs in most foods in combina
tion with calcium, it is seldom
necessary to be concerned about
the phosphorus intake provided
there is adequate calcium sup
ply, assimilation and utilization.
Rickets Is not merely a di
sease, weakness, softness of
bones, spine and teeth; it is di
sease also of the ligaments,
muscles, glands, teeth, digestive
organs.
In a great many Instances of
pronated feet or weak ankles
and potential flatfoot in grow
ing children undiagnosed rickets
h responsible. In many cases of
spinal curvature, round shoul
ders, fatigue posture in children
in their 'teens undiagnosed rick
ets is responsible.
Few physicians diagnose rick
ets in the mild degree it usually
occurs-in growing children and
youths. But never mind that. I
say supplement the diet of every
growing child with a suitaoie
daily ration of calcium, phos
phorus and vitamin u ana pre
vent any and all of these mani
festations of rickets. From what
I have observed in the past 14
vears. I believe this practice in-
mrp for these crowing children
exceptionally good teeth, notab
ly free from caries.

New York "Going My Way,"
Paramount's box office sensa
tion, written, directed and pro
duced by Leo McCarey, with
Blng Crosby starred and Rise

rated 1944's number one feature

reviewers for press and radio
participating in the 23d ahnual
Film Dally "Ten Best Pictures"
poll.
Four hundred twenty-eight
ballots were cast for the Para
mount picture in the coast-to-coast
and bordcr-to-border con
test, which saw the critics of
384 newspapers, magazines, wire
services and syndicates and the
film commentators of 95 radio
stations participating. The total
number of participants In the
23d poll was 479 before the polls
closed.
"Going My Way" finished
with a 103-vote lead over its
closest rival, 'The Song of Ber
nadette," 20th Century . Fox's
moving plcturlzation of Franz
Werfcl's inspiring story. "The
Song of Bernadette" was pro
duced by William Perlberg and
directed by Henry King. -
The third "Ten Best" niche
goes to "Since You Went Away,"
produced and written by David
O. Selznlck, directed by John
Cromwell and distributed by
United Artists. A margin of 94
votes separated this picture from

Walter Huston and Aline Mac
Mahon. "The White Cliffs of
Dover," inspired by Alice Duer
Miner s poem with Irene Dunne
and Alan Marshal in the leads.
was produced by Sidney Frank
lin and directed by Clarence:
Brown. "Gaslight," with Charles
Boyer, Ingrid Bergman and
Joseph Cotton, was based on the
Patrick Hamilton play, produc
ed by Arthur Hornblow, Jr.,

"A Guy Named Joe," with Spen
cer Tracy and Irene Dunne co
starred, was based on the story
by Chandler Sprague and David
Boehm; its producer was Ever
ett Riskln and Its director, Vic
tor Fleming.
To complete the "best ten"
the critics and commentators
chose Cecil B. DeMille's produc
tion for Paramount, "The Story
of Dr. Wassell," which had Gary
Cooper starred as the heroic na
val surgeon, and "Lifeboat,"
produced for 20th-Fox by Ken
neth Macgowan and directed by
Alfred Hitchcock. This adapta
tion of John Steinbeck's story
nad a cast topped by Tnllulah
Bankhcad and William Bcndlx.
Under the contest rules, only
features released for exhibition
between November 1, 1943, and
ucumer 31, 1P44. were elleible.
A total of 141 pictures were
nominated by the producer-distributors
for critic and commen
tator consideration; the voters,
however, wero not bound by the
list and were premltted to cast
ballots for any other feature
which they desired, subject only
to the specified 12-month period.
Last year the companies nomi
nated 120 features.
It is estimated that the read
ing and listening public of the
participating presa and radio sta
tions this year approximated the
ba.uuu.uou mark.
One hundred seventeen pic
tures received one or more bal
lots from the critics and com
mentator in the 1944 poll. Last
year the comparable figure was
103, while in 1942 the number

Miniver." In 1941, "Gone With
the Wind" lead with 452 votes,
