BALTIMORE, February 10.—Sea- board Alr Line last year did better than its main competitors in Florida.

Tha extent to which Seaboard securd- tles end those of its two leading com- petitors have declined since the Flor- ida boom was at its height is shown as follows: Seaboard common has drop- ped from 54!, in 1925 to 201, yester- day's figure: Atlantic Coast Line from 268 to 179. and Florida East Coast first and refunding 5 per cent bonds from 100'% to 88':.

Astonishing Yacts about NDOW (SLASS and your hildrens Healt How Vita Glass, a remarkable new discovery, brings indoors the wital health rays of the sun, and floods the nursery, playroom or sunroom with nature’s most effective tonic Here is one of the most important health discov- eries ever brought to the attention of thoughtful fathers and mothers. So vital is its bearing on the health of babies and grow- ing children that every careful parent will want to have it in his home. T means stronger little bones, muscles and bodies. It means normal growth ... healthier, richer blood cours- ing through their veins . .. greater resistance to illness «+ « and, most important of all, practical immunity to that dreaded and common disease of childhood—rickets. This remarkable discovery « « » this easy method of insur- ing better health in your chil- dren . . . is a new form of window glass which the in- ventor has aptly named Vita Glass. It is so called because it brings the ultra-violet rays, the vital health rays of sun- light, into nursery, playroom or sunroom and permeates the atmosphere with nature’smost effective tonic. For years doctors have recognized the marvelous LISTERINy, SHAVING CREAM 1 you don’t sy this won- derful new cresm gives you the covlestshave you ever bud you will be the - exception.’ LISTERINE ~the safe antiseptic NB————— O 2t S ¥ curative powers of sunlight and have employed it successfully in the treat- ment of many ailments. Today the sun-bath is invariably prescribed for children who have developed rickets. Rickets usually develops because of a deficiency of Vitamin D, which is present in green vegetables and salads. The ultra-violet rays in sunlight have been found to be the one big factor in producing Vitamin D, Ordinary window glass shuts out the wital rays During the closed-window seasons we are deprived of this great health ele- ment because ordinary window glass is impervious to the vital rays. It ad- mits warmth and light, but screens out the highly necessary ultra-violet rays. This is the reason why the shut-in days of winter are so unhealthful. This is the reason why the whole family are more susceptible to colds, grip and other illncsses, Vita Glass meets vigid specifications Vita Glass is a glass that has been developed under rigid specifications laid down by the highest authorities.

MURPHY COMPANY To be effective for transmission of health rays, a glass must admit the ultra-violet rays all through what is technically called the health band. Vita Glass has the unique distinction of doing this. It has been tested by the U. S. Bureau of Standards. With Vitaglazed windows the vital rays permeate the room and reach you wherever you happen to be, You may even Vitaglaze your north win- dows, for the major percentage of the ultra-violet rays are reflected from skyshine and cloudshine, making northern light a very rich source of these vital health rays. Actual tests prove its value Vita Glass inastallations have been made in homes, schools, hoapitals, hotels, apartment houses, office build- ings and factories throughout the United States and in other countries.
