VITAMIN SECRETS
By R. S. Copeland, M. D.
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. Six or eight stew-

Rome. —Mussolini is carrying out
| extensive excavation of Roman em-
pire ruins in Italy to reawaken the
pride of Italians in the marvelous
achievements of their ancestors and
‘o stir their patriotism. |
The explorations are only one an-
gle of the campaign to revive the
glories of ancient Rome and rearouse
interest in its accomplishments.
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 |

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.
The fresh diggings have uneartheu
more than 4,000 square yards of the
city—about four times more than the |
world has previously seen. As the
excavation proceeds It 1s expected

modern city of Herculaneum, which

cavation.
“Galloping Dominoes.”
Judging by a set of surgical instru |
ments it is inferred a house just un- |
covered was a doctor's and two dice |
indicate he toyed with the “galloping |
dominoes.” Partially unearthed at the
edge of the fresh excavation was a
bed. An official was handed a bit of
carbonized fabric of the bed clothes—
the first time it had been touched
since the occupant arose the day of |
the disaster. |
Mussolini is uncovering the mas |
sive theater of Marcellus in Rome. It |
was begun by Julius Caesar and in-
augurated in 13 B. C. The huge forum |
of Augustus in the center of the city |
is rapidly being revealed. Another |
forum is nearly excavated opposite |
the Teatro Argentino.

Unlike Many Prophets,
These Two Were Right
The centenary of the death of Henry |
Bell, that erratic genius responsible
for the Introduction of steam naviga-
tion on the Clyde, has passed. On the

Similarly Robert Stephenson, who
foresaw the development of that other
means of transport—the railway—and
whose name Is ever associated with
the Liverpool and Manchester railway,
which was opened more than one hun- |
dred years ago, while sitting In a
Stockton inn, told his son and John
Dixon: “I venture to tell you I think
you will live to see the day when
railways will supersede almost all
other methods of conveyance in this
country. 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.

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.
Change With Weather
Some hygroscopes are not mechan- |
Ileal; they owe their hygroscople prop- |
erties to thelr color, which changes |
with the state of humidity of the air
by reason of the application of sym- |
pathetic inks. These instruments are
often composed of a flower or a figure, |
of light muslin or paper, immersed in
the following Solution: Cobalt chloride, |
1 part; gelatin, 10 parts; water, 100 |
parts. The normal coloring Is pink.
This color changes into violet in medi-
om humid weather and into blue In|
very dry weather.—Washington Star
Chinese God of Destiny
The image of the famous Chinese |
God of Destiny before which the |
young are taught to pray is rather a |
terrifying object with its great glar. |
| Ing eyes, and open mouth full of |
sharpened teeth. He Is regarded as a |
friend, however. The young are taught |
to kneel and pray for light for their |
future guidance. The abode of this
idol is the famous 501 temple in Pekin,
so-called because of that number of
Ima, housed therein and where the
Chinese repair for worship.

cient name of China. It Is not known |
whether it originally referred to flow-
ers in the literal sense, but probabbly
did not. Hua means flowery. elegant,

the ancient Chinese so designated their
country because they regarded their |
people as the most polished and civi-
lized In the world. This term may |
have been employed at one time in the
sense of “country full of flowers.” Ac |

Why Present System of
Weights and Measures |
In the early Colonial days of Amer |

Why Frost on Window
Window frost forms when a window
pane Is cold enough to chill Indoor
air below Its dewpoint, and when thu!
in turn is below the freezing point
The more moist the Indoor alr the
higher its dewpoint, the more readil)
will frost form, but if a room Is very
warm the window pane is likely to he
not cool enough and the air too dr
for a frost display. The presence of «
storm window tends to prevent fhe
formation of frost on the inner pane
as the air space between the windows
takes a temperature approaching thn’ |
of the room. Pulling down the shades 8
at night also eliminates a certain
amount of heat loss through the glass
and therefore tends to prevent frost |

Why Ethiopia Bars Hunters
Big-game hunters have been wiarneq
to keep away from Ethiopia. especially
from the most accessible diatricis
along the line of the Franco-Ethiopiun

ard at Adis Ababa has notified the
State department that the emperor «1
Ethiopia has ruled thar no more hurt
ing permits shall be issued to anyone
native or foreigner, in any of the dis
tricts heretofore visited by hunters fin

United States are especially discour
aged by Minister Southard under ex
isting conditions.
Why Roosevelt Got Prize
The outbreak of war between Rus
