Just what are vitamines7

Just what are vitamines7
They are substances whose chem
ical makeup is unknown except in
so far as their solubility in water or
in fat is recognized.
They are therefore spoken OF re-
spectively as fat soluble A. water
soluble B and water soluble c.
The existence OF the vitamines
and the first inkling Of their import
.ance was recognized by an Austrian
scientist, Cassimir Funk, some years
ago.
It was discovered that II abso-
lutely pure extracts Of foodstuffs, as
purified cane sugar, pure fat and
protein, are taken even in sufficient
quantities to give the necessary en-
ergy values in the proper relative
amounts. life cannot be maintained.
Something essential TO life (hence
the term vitamine) has vanished in
the process Of refinement and ex-
traction.
Nutrition studies OF the past few
years have yielded abundant con-
firmation Of this fact. While chem

glaciers The reason is that at one
time in the history OF the earth great
rivers OF ice-similar to the glaciers
in Switzerland and the glaciers that
are to be found today in other parts
OF the world-but vastly greater in
size-fowed southwark from the
North Pole and covered for years
and years practically all of the
United States and large part of
Europe.
Prehistoric Glaciers.
1T has been estimated that some
OF these great glaciers that swept
over parts of the earth thousands Of
years ago were close to a mile thick.
The movements Of these prehistoric
glaciers are believed to have had
considerable effect on the formation
Of the surface of the earth. This
glacial or Ice Age occurred at a time
in the history Of the earth Of which
we have no written records Scien-
fists say that IL there was any hu-
man life on the earth back in those
times it existed only in remote parts
that were not touched or affected by
the glaciers.
There is no more fascinating
study than the history Of our earth
through all its ages or periods, and
scientists by studying the movements
of the glaciers in Switzerland and
the effect OF them on the surface of
the earth, hope to get information
and data which will enable them TO
tell more accurately the complete
history Of the development of our
planet through the countless ages
which it has been in existence"

costly to Heinie Groh. the Reds star

great rivers Of ice, that form on the
sides Of the high mountains in Swift

been moving so rapidly lately as TO
cause a great deal of alarm among

RAYMOND D-HARBA
FIGHT TO DRAW

at the St Hedwig's A A smoker
in Modjeska Hall last night Follow
ers of each pulled for their favor

but unbiased opinion was that the
bout was even.
Raymond displayed a wonderful
left-hand jab that prevented Horba
from getting set to put over a sleep
producer and made the st. He'd
wigs man miss several punches that
spelt ruin il they landed.
The semi-windup between Kid
Sum and George Morrow was not
far behind the windup in class. as
both battlers gave and received
some stif punches and provided
plenty Of action all the way. Morrow
received a bad cut over his left eye
in the opening canto which bothered
him for several rounds. Sum piled up
small lead. but the West slider came
back strong in the fifth and last
rounds. earning himself a draw.
The main preliminary between
Paddy Murphy and Battling Mil
Ter, who substituted for Young
Stanley, went just two rounds longer
than it should. as Miller clearly
proved he was no match for Muir
ply.

Of gameness on the part of Johnny

Crebe Finishes First, With
Polly and Flya, British
Yachts, I'd and Sd.

COWES, Isle of Wight, Aug. BY
The Associated Press )--Amerjca won
the fourth international yacht race here
to-day, defeating the British entries by
the close margin of II points to 16.
Great Britain won the first three races.
The yachts finished in the following
order: Grebe. America. first; Polly and
Flya, Great Britain, second and third
respectively; Montauk and Genie, Amer
lea. fourth and fifth respectively; and
Victoria, Great Britain, sixth.
The British yacht Jean and the Amer
lean Sheila had trouble with their gears
and abandoned the race.
Sir John Wards Jean narrowly es-
capped sinking off Old Point Castle dur
ing the race. A small sailing sloop
ran into the Jean and tore a hole in
the port side eighteen inches long. The
injured yacht had to be towed in and
locked. Sir Ralph Gore was steering
the yacht at the time Of the mshap.
The fourtecn-mile course was sailed
in hard southwesterly breeze. The
start was not so good as in the third
race, the yachts crossing the line in a
hardening as the day wore on, the Jean,
the Victoria, the Montauk ana the
Sheila were double-reefed, while the
Grebe, the Genie, the Polly and the
Flya were single-reefed
In addition to the accident to the
Jean, the Sheila, which was dismasted
in the first race at Ryde, was never
comfortable under to-days conditions
and was forced to give up after the first
round. The Grebe, which showed SPLEEN
didly in wndward work in the hard
blow, worked out nice lead, which
she maintained until the end, reaching
home four minutes ahead of the Polly
The score in points now stands:
Great Britain, 10; America, SO.
The inhabitants of Cowes presented
the Grebe. the winner of to-day's race,
with special prize.
Two more races will be sailed, one
on Monday and the other on Wednesday
of next week
