Exposed to rays from the quartz window, they grew faster than normally ; their bones became very stout, sometimes so stout that their growth was a positive menace. In a few weeks, by continued use of the rays, it was found possible to develop fabulously succulent small fowls?"superbroilers." When the milk and celery which fed them had been treated with the rays, they thrived better than those whose food had not been so treated...
...however, expensive. Until facilities are greatly expanded, the treatment must remain what it is?a cure for a limited number, not a widespread means of promoting the general health of children, stimulating growth and obviating the bone-troubles of the race. So used, it might be possible to develop a race of supermen, immune to rickets, rheumatism and bowlegs. At the present time, the most practical application of the discovery is the production of superbroilers...
...quite contented with things as they are. Other little roads feel that they must be absorbed by their stronger competitors, and are mainly concerned with picking a winning swallower and getting guarantees against being bitten in the process.
