WHEAT GERMS A SPLENDID SOURCE
OF VITAMINS
From Good Health Magazine
If you would have vitamins up in
@ most attractive form, by all means
ook up wheat germ and try it on
your family.
This is a sort of mysterious food
we have heard nutritionists talk
about for some time. Laboratories
have had almost a monopoly on it
wntil recently, when it became avail-
able to every one, and you have no
©ne to blame but yourself if you fail
%o partake of this delightful and
‘wery valuable food.
It is the germ of the wheat kernel
which, with the bran, is removed in
the refining of white flour. In the
milling process these germs are flat- |
ened, appearing as very small, yel-|
XYowish, slightly oily flakes, soft in|
texture, and having a delicious flavor. |
‘Wheat germ can be obtained from |
wlmost any flour mill in bulk form
and sometimes in one pound tins.
Every one knows that vitamins
are necessary for health, but vita-
wmins are just vitamins to many of
‘as and the names and sources and
actions and other characteristics of |
each, cause us great confusion and
worry. Who hasn't imagined a
magic potion containing them all and
in just the right amounts for our
health requirements? We are all
‘witamin conscious, for what family
Thasn’t a member imbibing a daily |
dose of cod-liver oil, orange juice,
©r raw vegetables? Wheat germ
should go a long way toward set-
‘ting your mind at ease in this vita-
min matter.
Here are some of the vital food
¥actors wheat germ contains. c- |
cording to the Federal Bureau of
Home Economics it is a “rich source
©of vitamin A and an excellent
source of vitamins B, Eand G;” afid
according to the cereal laboratory
of the Federal Bureau of Chemistry |
‘mnd Soils, it is rich in protein, fat]
and minerals, containing protein
27,25 per cent, fat 10.55 and ash 4.35
per cent. The protein is complete,
a rare characteristic in plant pro-|
teins.
VARIOUS EFFECTS
Vitamin A is necessary for wth, |
‘successful reproduction gen- |
‘eral well-being, increasing resistance
‘to infection. B is the anti-neurotic |
witamin and lack of it is followed by |
Joss of appetite, loss of weight, ner- |
wousness and irritability. E is the]
anti-sterility vitamin and G is the
antipellagra vitamin.
In prevention of pellagra, this
wheat product has been used in the
drought areas by agricultural exten-
sion workers; they have been buying |
§t from the mills in wholesale quan- |
Rities and distributing it in small
packages. Dr. Munsell of the Bu-
weau of Home Economics says: “On
mm basal diet known to lack vitamin
G, rats failed to grow, and developed
@wymptoms similar to human pellagra,
@ disease that often results when
The food supply is limited. When
wheat germ was added to the basal
‘diet, the rats grew normally and de-
weloped no abnormal! symptoms.”
Experiments conducted in the
schools of Berkeley, California, by
Morgan and Barry, have shown that
when wheat germ was given to chil-
dren in rolls containing fifty per
went germ and fifty per cent white

times more in weight than others
¥ed plain flour rolls.
On account of its content of vita-
wnin E, the anti-sterility vitamin,
wheat germ is used by breeders of
fur-bearing animals.
Wheat germ can be taken raw
nixed with cereals or other foods.
Af eaten raw, of course the vitamins
wre preserved intact. It can be
wsed in baking, and though the ex-
Wet effect of heat on its nutritive
Jropenties has not been definitely
termined, it is known that it af-
ferwards still contains its most val-|
gable qualities.
It is used now in well-known
prietary foods and breads made
England and Canada. These
reads are generally made of twen-
Ry-five per cent wheat germ.
MECIPES FOR BREADS AND PUDDING |
I1 baking, wheat germ is partly
substituted for flour. It does not
have the thickening power that flour
has, but it reduces the amount of |
flour needed. If substituted for an
‘equal amount of flour, the liquid is |
reduced to about two-thirds or three- |
fourths the usual amount; and in|
ithe case of substituting for corn
yneal, there is no change in the
amount of liquid used. Recipes for
the use of wheat germ have been |
worked out in the Bureau of Home |
Economics. ‘These include J.
brown bread, cookies and pu |
|
KEEPING QUALITIES NOT A SERIOUS |
PROBLEM
‘Wheat germ has not been made
®enerally available because of its
“reputed poor keeping qualities.”
Under ordinary conditions in warm
‘weather or in warm damp houses, it
becomes rancid on account of its
thigh percentage of fat. However,
3% placed in an ice box it will keep
almost indefinitely. It is not nearly
so perishable as many other foods,
such as milk and butter which are
fin common use. To prevent it from
wmpoiling, it can be heated. The
keeping qualities of wheat germ are
improved by the addition of one or
wo per cent of salt.

WAS PENNSYLVANIA
ONCE UNDER THE OCEAN?
i
Pennsylvania once had mountains
rivaling in height the modern
ranges
of the Andes, Alps or Himalayas, Dr.
George H. Ashley, State geologist,
says in a syllabus of Pennsylvania
Geology and Mineral Resources.
The syllabus which is just off the
press, describes the various rock
strata in Pennsylvania in the order
in which they were formed, the ge-
ologic processes to which they have
been subjected and the mineral re-
sources.

restored would project five miles or
more above sea level. If, however,
the action required millions of years,
as is probable, none of these folds
ever reached full height. Instead
we picture them soon eroding into a
mass of mountain peaks rivaling in
height and ruggedness the Alps,
Andes or Himalayas.
“Just as when you push on the
end of a pile of rugs, until they take
up less floor space, the Appalach-
jan revolution (the term given to
this pressure resulting in the folding
of the rock
ranges, greatly shortened Pennsylva-
nia, possibly by 100 miles, according
to rough estimates.
strata into mountain
The rocks un-
der Philadelphia may have originally
underlain what is now Atlantic
Ocean.”
The geologic history of Pennsylva- |
nia as related by a study of the
State's rock strata reveals three
main points, Dr. Ashley says.
“First,” he says, “instead of the
hills and valleys being ‘eternal,’ they
are only the present momentary |
| scene in a great drama in which
time and again the sea advanced
over Pennsylvania and thousands of
feet of rock material were laid down,
and time and again the sea bottom
rose to the surface and the sea re-
treated.
“In other scenes the earth's crust
was folded and crushed, or broken
along vertical
molten rock welled up from beneath.
In some scenes
cracks, or floods of
Pennsylvania ap-
pears as a land of vast mountains,
as high and rugged as any in the
world today. In others the State
lay quiet, slowly wearing away and
was to the sea. Then came up-
lift and the streams carved valle
out of the softer rocks, leaving the
hard and resistant rocks standing up
as mountains.
“During the Ice Age great glaciers
pushed their way into the northern
corners of the State, completely
changing the landscape; and further
uplifts made the streams cut the
present narrow, lower valley in the
former wide valleys.
“The second great idea to be got-
ten from the rocks is that of the im-
mensity of time. One hundred to
250,000,000 were required to
deposit 25,000 feet of paleozoic rocks
in Pennsylvania.
“The third great idea the rocks
show is the slow progress of life.”
Dr. Ashley says that today most
geologists and other scientists be-
lieve that a plan and a pu un-
derlie this story of the roc and
that in deciphering it men have been
| trying to retrace “the footsteps of
of Bengal, Mount Kamet is 600 miles
the Creator.”
KANSAS VETS PLAN
PROTEST TO PENNA.
|
Kansas war veterans who served |
with the 35th Division in France, are
preparing to ask Pennsylvania this
question:
“Say, what's the big idea?”
Kansans, touring French battle-
fields, reported that a handsome
monument had been erected by
Pennsylvania in the
courtyard of |
Varennes commemorating the valor
of that State's soldiers who, accord-
ing to the marker, captured the
town.
“It was Kansas troops who cap-
tured Varennes,” said Fred Henney, |
president of the 35th Division asso-
ciation. “None of us ever will for-
get Sept. 26, 1918, when we drove
the Germans out.”
Official action regarding the mat- |
ter will be taken in Pittsburgh in
September when the division holds
its annual reunion.

area came into British possession in
1814 ns a result of the Gurka war
(with Nepal). This region consists of
a maze of high peaks with extremely
deep valleys winding among them.
The valleys and lower slopes are heav-

Mount Kamet Is at Kathgodam, In
the United Provinces, at the southern
edge of the Himalayan foothills. From
there travel is overland through val-
leys and up steep slopes to Ranikhet,
a hill village comparable in location
to Simla, From Ranikhet the way
leads over rough country and across
a number of deep river gorges, to the
village of Niti at 12,000 feet altitude.
From this point both yaks and coolie
hearers are used.
Althougi: numerous attempts to
scale Mount Kamet have been made
since 1835, no one succeeded in reach-
{ng the summit until this summer.
The latest expedition prior to the one
that has just scaled the peak was led
in 1920 by Dr. A. M. Kellas, He
reached an altitude of 23,6800 feet, but
had to turn back hecause his native
assistants were suffering from moun-
tain sickness,
On the slopes of Mount Kamet Is
one of the chief head-water glaciers

Kinchinjunga is bigger game for the
mountain climber than Kamet, both
because of its extreme height and the
steepness of its slopes. It is the
third highest mountain in the world,
reaching upward five and one-third
miles above sea level.
Of the three highest peaks—Everest,
Goodwin Austen, and Kinchinjunga—
the latter is most inaccessible. [It lies
45 miles north of Darjeeling In an alr
line, but the road that one must travel
across canyons, over ridges and around
{intervening peaks, is much longer.
Darjeeling has been headquarters
for the several expeditions that have
tried unsuccessfully to scale Kinchin-
| junga In past years. Like Simla, 700
miles farther west, and Srinagar in
Kashmir, Darjeeling is a godsend to
perspiring Europeans who must spend
the hot period In India. But it is
more than a cool retreat: it is a
matchless observation post, when the
clouds permit, for the mightiest moun-
tain scenery that the world affords.
And the outstanding sight to the north-
ward, across deep chasms and beyond
tier after tier of foothills, is the
mighty Kinchinjunga, buttressed by
half a dozen peaks from 20,000 to

BIG CUT BEING MADE IN
DIPLOMATIC SALARIES
The depression has hit two severe
blows at the diplomats.
Revolutions and financial crises
abroad and poor conditions here
have caused diplomatic salaries to
be reduced.
The sad news making the round of | Tuesd
diplomatic society is that the flow of
liquor, so often denounced in Con-
gress, will not be so great this year.
The prospect is for fewer and less
lavish parties.
The most magnificent of all diplo-
matic establishments in the Capital
is that of the British Government.
It is new, imposing. British diplo-
mats the world over are the envy of
American diplomats because of the
fat expense accounts allotted them.
| However, expense accounts are calcu-
lated on a sliding scale commensur-
ate with living costs so there will
be less money to spend in the great
| Georgian structure this winter.
Premier Mussolini has reduced sal-
aries of his diplomats by 12 per
cent.
The Germans, never flush since
the war, are to get further salary
reductions.
Bulgarian salaries are off 10 per
cent. France is reported to have
reduced diplomatic salaries some
time ago. Don Miguel Cruchaga,
| new Chilean Ambassador, is serving
without pay and the salaries of his
staff have been reduced.
The Cuban Embassy is reported to
have suffered a 55 per cent reduc-
tion. Bolivia, Mexico and other
countries have imposed additional
economies.
Faik Konitza, Minister from Al-
bania, is reported recently to have
suggested to his government that the
Albanian Legation be abolished. He
thought it did not earn its salt.

the vigil is fruitless. It is only for

Standing on the Darjeeling ridge
when the air is free of mists, the ob-

over half a dozen intervening ridges
into the dark mysterious depths of

the beginning of the snows. Long

fills the sky.
The world seems to be walled on
the north. There is no such thing
as a horizon; Kinchinjunga closes the
view like an exquisite screen,

is like the Washington monument as
it appears from the west verunda of

Darjeeling well earns its popularity |
as a summer resort. While on the |
steamy plains of Bengal, a few miles |
away, the mercury climbs in summer |
above 100 degrees Fahrenheit, it sel-
dom tops 75 degrees at Darjeeling;
and in winter 35 degrees marks the low
