Plenty of Vitamins.


There are plenty Of vitamins in the
ordinary American dietary to supply
every need Of the body. To be sure
we have stirred up considerable fuss
about vitamins lately. No dietetic
advice is complete without allusion
to these newly discovered food acces-
sories. No tonic, beverage or pre-
masticated food Is up-to-date without
some claim Of vitamin content.
There are plenty of vitamins In the
That is. fairly balanced and varied
dietary. One thing the average
American will not endure, unless he
is some kind of crank or the victim
of some plausible food Specialist"
is restriction of his bill OF fare.
The greater the variety of foods he
can have at one meal the happier
he is--and the healthier. provided he
goes in for variety. but not for quantity.
Perhaps certain classes of individ-
uals aside from mere food or diet
cranks do suffer from an inadequate
amount Of vitamins in their diet. For
example. many nursing mothers avoid
this and that wholesome and really
essential food merely because the
saireygamps have a tradition that L
nursing mother can't eat this and
:hat-a great mistake which often
has deplorable results for the infant.
Unquestionably many In a s
raised" on various substitutes for
breast milk or fresh cows milk suit
ably modified suffer such grave nu-
trittonal effects of vitamin deficiency
as ricketts, and scurvy. not to mention
many other less clearly defined nutri-
tional disorders in childhood.
Strong evidence has been adduced
to support the belief that the disease

prevalent than ever In the southern
states may be directly due to a vita

Jerry didn't reply. He couldn't.
You see, his mouth was full of those
to talk with his mouth full. When he
reached his house he climbed out of
the water and dragged the ruShes up
on the roof. Then, without saying a
word, he carefully worked them in
place where he wanted them. When
he had fixed them to suit himself he
sat down to rest.

Another Chat ON Galleries.

If you have determined. according
to the chat on food values last week.
that you require certain number of
calories Of food day, the next step
is to find out the caloric value of the
foods you are eating. We will take,
for Instance. the case OF q grown
woman leading an ordinary active
life. She requires $500 calories of
food daily to keep her fit. If she
weighs more than she should, she has
been eating more than this amount,
and to reduce she must eat less. She
must eat. instead Of $500, about 1900
to reduce at the rate of two pounds
week, which Is the safest rate.
Without knowing anything about
calories you will see from this that to
reduce you must eat only three -flfths
the amount of food you have been
accustomed to. But II you wish to be
accurate about your diet save this
table of caloric values. The caloric
value stated is for an average serv-

1t his imagination. or was Jerrys
house bigger than it had been the

couldn't be sure. 1t was some time
since he had visited the Smiling Pool,
ana then he hadn't taken any special
notice of Jerry's house.
But now he looked at 1t very hard,
and the more he looked the more the
feeling grew that 1t was bigger than
1t had been. Certainly, Jerry had
been at work on 1t. But that might
