Inviting LaWlessness.

The ruling of the United States treasury
department that beer and wines may be dis
pensed, in limited quantities, by druggists upon
prescriptions isseed by physicians, is simply
another invitation to further lawIessness on
the part of the people. The sale of bes~ and
wines is to be permitted on the presumption
that these liquids will be helpful to the sick
and ailing OF the nation, and this action has
been taken in the face of the general verdict
among the medical profession that such bever-
ages are not necessary to the recovery of
patient, no matter what his ailment may be-
Following the federal government announce
ment partially fitting the lid comes the decla-
ration of Attorney General Brundage of Ili-

that druggist a pAysician~with a federal
permit will be amenable to the Illinois law

"One of my heart attacks, Con

sthe girl tumbled out of bed and
hastily gave the medicine, making

and finally her mother spoke. Just
as soon as l can get up let us go
on deck" she pleaded. Il am stifled

! Constance looked at her watch as
| she carefully aided her mother's
/ shaky footsteps through the boat
to the deck. They took chairs and
leaned back in a secluded corner,
utterly alone. Soon her mother
slept and Constance relaxed a lit
tie. The attacks always left her
feeling helpless against the terrible
power of the disease, and she found
she was trembling as she moved to
!
1t was midnight and the sky and
sea were but vast spaces of I'M

murmured. II might never see
the merry face of George or the
quiet strength of Austin. l might
never marry either one-the prob

She leaned forward, straining her

A few days later the doorbe1I

door OF her ant's house, where she
was staying with her mother. Two
eager arms seized her and two
eyes looked deep into her heart as
she spoke her surprise.

lust What Is Vitamin?

don't know just what a vita
min is.
Science has not yet determined
the pnysical or chemical nature OF
inns newly discovered food acceS-
sorry. but we know that certain
foods contain these factors, and
other foods do not, and unless the
diet includes foods which contain
yitamins grave nutritional disor-
ders are inevitable, no matter how
rich and plentiful the food may be
in ordinary respects. How do We
know all this, if no one has yet
identified vitamins chemically or
physically? By experiments in an
lmaI feeding and by the application
of the valuable results of these ex-
periments to infant feeding. Here
is another instance of the great
value to mankind Of animal expert
mentation. IL one were trying to
raise white rats or pink rabbits TO
sell, and one observed that young
animals fed with fresh raw milk
and fresh green leaves thrived and
grew rapidly, whereas other groups
fed sterilized or pasteurized milk
or dried hay and dried leaves did
not thrive or grow normally then
one would begin to suspect that
something which is present in
fresh milk and fresh green leaves
must be- absent from preserved milk
and dried fodder. Some such ex-
periments taught us that these IN
identified accessory food factors
called vitamins exist.
Again let me quote part of the
conclusion reached by the Lister
institute and Medical Research
committee which conducted a very
thorough investiga ton into the
question of vitamins:
-. the individual always finds a
sufficient supply of vitamins in his
food so long as that food is rea-
sonably varied and has received no
artificial or accidental separation
into parts, and SO long as no de-
structive influence has been applied
TO it.
What does reasonably varied"
imply? Well, for a regular meal
at least one fresh vegetable or
greens or a relish which may be
eaten raw; either fresh milk or
cream, not canned or sterilized or
pasteurized, but pure and raw;
either fresh eggs or fresh meat or
fresh fish or game or fowl; baked
or stewed or raw fresh fruit when
in season.
What does obstructive influence"
mean? Heating for more than a
few minutes even at the moder-
atety high temperature required to
pasteurize GAO degrees Fahren-
Eeit); or milling processes which
remove the outer coating or germ
of the wheat; or sterilization or
dessication of food substances in
the presence of oxygen there is
good evidence that foods dessicated
or dried in vacuum are not robbed
