Twenty years ago Professor ‘kelharing stated that milk con- ined a substance of vital import- ce to health. It was his be- f that this substance was the )st essential element of milk. This port was the beginning of a long ries pf studies that has resulted our present-day understanding of e vitamins. Nothing else in medical research ntributes a more fascinating his- ry of progress than the story of tamins. From day today, too, we e greatly increasing our knowl- ge concerning these mysterious bstances. The study of vitamins has develop- a science independent of what > commonly include in medicine. 3 a result of the work carried on the past twenty years, there has own up what we may call the cience of nutrition.” The science of nutrition is essen- ally a study of the elements nec- sary for growth and repair of the dy. Of course, it is intimately | lated to the cure of disease, be- use, by proper nutrition. we over- sme disease. By a thorough un- rstanding of the vitamins and eir inclusion in our daily diet we ‘event disease. In the early stages of this work ly three vitamins were isolated. nese were spoken of as vitamins y,” “B” “C.” Subsequent research scovered two more, described as’ tamins “pr and “ | Of all the vitamins, vitamin B 1s aroused the most discussion. nis vitamin is of great importance ; a curative agent in the disease sown as beri-beri. Vitamin B has certain growth- romoting qualities. It has re- mtly been shown to be definitely dated to the prevention of pella- ra. Beri-beri and pellagra are de- rived as ‘deficiency at is, defects due to the lack of srtain nutritional or food elements. Unfortunately, attempts to obtain tamin B in pure form have been apsuccessful. Vitamin B is a com- jeated substance and is greatly in- uenced by certain factors. It is nown to exist in raw vegetables, at usually not in the juices of + canned, most of the vitamin con- | nt is lost. { Vitamin B is only slightly de- royed when cooked. This vita- in is remarkably resistant to acid. ven the ultra-violet ray does not arm it. It is interesting to note jat it resists the effect of time. adian lentils and seeds kept for 38 ears were found to contain appre- iable quantities of this vitamin. OW FRUIT RANKS IN FOOD VALUE The following list shows fruits in se order of their importance as surces of minerals and vitamins: 1. Tomatoes, oranges, lem 0 ns. rape fruit, dried dates, figs. cur-/ ints, prunes, raisins, raspberries. 2. Apples, bananas, grapes. 3. Peaches, pears, plums. cherries, ineapples, berries, currants, fresh aubarb. 4. Muskmelon, cantaloupe, water- elon, Citrus fruits and tomatoes rank igh with other foods as sources of itamins B and C; and dried dates, arrants, figs, raisins and prunes re actually, as well as relatively, igh in sugar. iron and lime. Ap- les, bananas and grapes are only ur in their contents of carbohy- rates and vitamins B and C, while rchard fruits, most berries, pine- pples and rhubarb do not offer any onspicuous contribution aside from avor, color and roughage. Mush- elons, cantaloupes and water- ielons are all at the bottom of 1e list. Apples, when they are eaten raw nd in large quantities, become an nportant source of vitamins Band '. Emphasis, therefore, should be laced upon raw fruit in general be- ause cooking tends to destroy vi- imin C, and upon citrus fruits, to- atoes and the dried fruits men- oned above. WHEN TO EAT FRUIT To obtain the most benefit from 1e succulent fruits they should be aten at the end of the chief meal. ‘ananas are an exception and may e ‘eaten at any meal. They are ery acceptable cut in thin slices nd eaten with bread and butter. tewed fruits often have their vir- 1es wasted through being eaten at ae wrong time.

Important finds of priceless art ob- jects were made in Pompeii and Her- culaneum within the last few weeks. They will arouse the wonder and ad- miration of the world when exhibited | to the public, The most important discovery of its | kind in the history of archeoiogy has been made In Pompeil. It is a complete service of 115 pleces of solid silver tableware of amazingly | beautiful workmanship. The aston- ishing feature was the perfect state of preservation. Many of the pleces were actually as bright and polished as the day they were buried—1,85) vears ago. Among the many gems is a solid silver casserole about eight inches in diameter, four inches deep and more than a quarter of an inch thick, with a wide handle, upon which is por- trayed hunting scenes in heavy relief. | It was as brilliant as the day it was | carefully wrapped In woolen fabric in | the year 79. The weight was surpris- ing. Modern Designs From Past. Another plece which will astonish archeologists is a large silver platter with the bust of a goddess in solid gold in the center. There is a large | cake knife about eighteen inches in | length amazingly like modern cake knives in design. In a jewelry shop window today it would pass for mod- | ern manufacture, | In the cellar of a house in Pompeil was found a silver set In a large box. Near the box was found a skeleton— | nerhaps a servant on guard or one of | the family who rushed to save the silverware on that morning of August 24, in the year 79, when Vesuvius | started to erupt and finally buried Pompeli and Herculaneum. New excavations are In progress lu | compell. Streets are being uncovered which show the wheel marks of carts | and chariots worm Into the stone blocks of paving, conjuring up & pic ture of the busy life of the dead city nearly 2,000 years ago. On the out- | side walls of some of the houses are scrawled the names of anclent Romun politicians appealing for votes In the elections which probably never oc- | curred. | Extensive new sections of the near | by ancient city of Herculaneum buried | more than fifty feet on the same day Officials i declared they are now convinced Her- culaneum was a very large city and hitherto only the barvest fringe of the outskirts of Herculaneum have been revenled.

What I have said will come to pass, as sure as you live.” Both of these prophets lived to see the ful filment of their prophecies. Legends of Bmpedocles lived in royal style, sur | rounded by all the pomp and pageant: ry great wealth cou'd procure. He was exceedingly kind to the poor and gave large sums to succor them. He also provided dowrles for scores of poor young virgins to enable them to secure husbands. Empedocles studied medicine and became a really great physician for the time. He was brought to a wom- an who had lain for seven days as if dead. “She can, and will, remain in that state, without eating or breath. ing, for thirty days,” declared Empe docles. He was right. She did. At the end of that time he restored her to full life and vigor.—Exchange. Old Anglo-Saxon Word Minster, meaning au Christian re- | ligious house, is from an Anglo-Saxon | word, mynster, meaning the same thing. In the nomenclature of the English church, it means an abbey, or the monastic building of a religious society. In the term Westminster ab- | bey, the word abbey is superfluous, for | minster means the same thing, and is so used in York minster, meaning the | abbey church at York. It is generally | agreed that Westminster was so called | because It was west of St Paul's. | The present abbey is the abbey of St. | Peter, but is called Westminster be cause built on the site of the old West | minster.
