The Latest Gossip
Among the Vitamines

Every month we have a few more
|disconcerting facts about the vitamine
For example: A fresh young carrot
has over three times as much ants
|corbutic vitamine as fresh but old
carrot. Both the age and the methou
|of cooking food may have much
effect on this valuable food item.
Dried milks keep their vitamine
value and may be used for children if
orange juice is fed Condensed milk,
on the other hand, supplies very lit
tie antiscorbutic.
Potatoes may or may not guard
.gainst scurvy, according to how they
are cooked and how much is eaten.
1t is thumbs down" for the boiled
potato, especially with the skin off
Too high temperatures and too long
cooking are death to the vitamine
that may, however, survive cooking
under less strenuous conditions. For
example, of four pigeons on the same
ration of corn and barley and peas, the
two whose food was heated in pres
sure cooker at Is pounds pressure for
rs hours died in 40 days, but the two
whose food was heated only IS min
utes were doing well after 280 days.
There is nothing momentous about
Titamines. Each little vitamine has
habits of it's own Glittering generali-
ties are their adherence. And fur
thermore the same food varies not
My with age and the treatment it has
received, but with its production
vegetables with the soil and animal
God with feeding of the animal But
erfat, the great purveyor of growth
promoting vitamines, varies in this
'egard with the feeding of the COW,
IN standing, and on pasturization.
The humble cabbage eaten raw, car
OTIS, fresh milk and yeast are all no
table sources of these protective
foods. - Our scientists are hot on the
rail Of the vitamine, but the end is not
'et, not apparently for long time yet.
All this appears from the work of
Marguerite Davis of the Home Eco
nomics Laboratory of the University
of Wisconsin, as set forth in recent
lumber of the Journal of Home Eco
Monies.

Porter Wins

The mayor of Riverside has been
reelected to Office. And it is a strange
case. In the betting ring the odds
would have been 1000 to 1 against
him.
This mayor presided over the town
Of Riverside during the "fu" epidemic,
says the Los Angeles Times. In order
to set up an additional preventive
against the spread of the disease he
issued an edict that there should be
no kissing in that town He made it
unlawful for man to kiss his own
wife. You wouldn't dast' kiss the
.prettiest. girl in Riverside, and that's
a big word. for Riverside is just liter
ally jammed with pretty girls.
If you were to see the prettiest girl
in Riverside you would risk the "Hu."
lumbago, mumps, Charley horse and
every other misery to kiss her. You
would walk tight rope across Niagara
Falls on windy day to do it.
But if you did, and it was when
the "fu" was rampaging around there,
Mayor Porter's policeman would slam
you into the calaboose and all the
lawyers in California couldn't get you
out.
This is the last time he will ever
be Mayor" was what they all said.
And certainly it looked like it. Every
body was mad.
Yet, here comes along another cleo
ton, and there is the honorable mayor
just where he was, booked for another
term, his same old chair waiting nice
and coy for him in the city hall.
1t is indeed true saving that poll
tics is like a cat. mo one can tell
which way it will jump. But there
must be something more than that
back of the reelection of Mayor
Porter. There must be something I'm
usual aboutthe. man himslf.

History of a Button

The demands of today are trivial
and unworthy of the talent inherent
In the agile fingers of the Japanese
people, say the author of an article
on Japanese Woodcarvers IN Asia,
for July. Many wood carvers have
turned to making netsuke. Netsuke
are the little buttons of carved wood
or ivory fastened by a cord ID the
tobacco punch and the pipe case to
prevent them from slipping through
the sash. A whole school Of netsuke
carvers sprung up at the end of the
seventeenth century, and it has been
the ambition of every Jaaanese gen.
tleman from that tim 20 this to
fasten his TOLD. a netsuke
that bears the name yof celebrated
artist
The descendants of .lHhlel have de-
voted themselves to art in miniature.
but they have drawn from the whole
world for their tiny buttons. Religion,
history, folklore and numerous Incl
dents of daily life all furnish material
for the netsuke carver. Many of the
woodcavers have today gone into the
field of ivory-carving, principally for
the foreign market. These ivory carv-
ings are for the most part intricate
and Photographic, lacking the genius
that Illuminated all the great wood
carvings Of Japan. Still others have
become sculptors Of the ultra-modern
school. They have studied in Europe
and work in marble and bronze. as
well as wood. They often do inter-
esting work, but tn reels too much
imitation of the western models and
not enough inspiration derived from
native sources to place the stamp of
real achievement on their work.
1t is phase that will pass The
art instinct is too deeply rooted in
Japanese national life not to find ade-
quate expression in some permanent
and worth while form-unless one is
pessimestic enough to believe that ma
chinery and all the by-products Of
modern industrialism have set their
death mark on Japan's artistic door.

Great spikes, used in constructing

Coal oil begins to thicken at 40 de-

When SteelaaBreaks

told by an American formerly en-.

son, in the Yukon territory.
1T is interesting to learn what
happens at so degrees below zero, a
temperature not uncommon in The
Yukon. For example, the gentleman
entioned tells of one stretch of such
cold in January, a spell that endured
two weeks. The temperature ranged
from A degrees below zero (the
warmest) down to 6S degrees below
Some Of the outlying Yukon police
stations reported 80 degrees below

periods of 10 degrees below.

mingling with the other white-gray
mist of haze that remains permanent
in the atmosphere of the town like a
great fog when it is 40 degrees or

fog is not fog as we know it, but is
frozen fog, and every man, woman,
child, animal and even the fire that
burns is throwing out moisture into

into a cloud of frozen vapor that
floats away and remains visibly sus-

about the steps and any protected

Cutting Down
Home Waste

People of average means can hardly
afford in these days to keep servants.
Households which formerly kept two
or three now get along with one maid
Many manage with half a servant,
sharing her with a neighbor. Not a
few housewives have been driven to
the necessity of doing their own cook
ing and sending the washing to a
laundry.
This has meant to deal discomfort,
but there has been an Incidental gain.
Waste is enormously reduced.
Servants make nearly all the waste
of a household. Many housewives,
deprived of "lady help" have been
Iastonished to observe a shrinkage of
their food bills, notwithstanding the
present doubled and trebled prices.
When a domestic establishment en-
ploys half dozen servants the waste
| is enormous Nearly always in a
house run on that scale the butler
and cook stand in" with the butcher
and grocer, and their rake-off in
creases with the amount of food they
throw away.
Recent investigations by the New
York Health Department proved that
the average family living in a private
house with one or more servants,
throws away pound and quarter
of perfectly good food every day.
1t was found that the average
apartment house family throws away
only one-fifth as much--largely, doubt
less, because such families reduce do
nestle service to a minimum.
In the tenement districts of New
York one garbage can usually suff1ces
to hold the food refuse of 20 families.
But in the private house districts"
lit was found that 1853 families had
IFS garbage pals, or more than a pail
apiece.N
Examination of the Its pals re-
vealed Is pounds of bread and rolls,
so pounds of meat, 35 pounds of po-
tatoes, Is pounds of cereals and large
quantities of perfectly fresh vege-
tables.

varies directly with the number OF
servants employed. AS matter OF

country as manifestation of pros
perity. Not until very recently have
people begun to think that possibly
this was foolish idea.
