aids the malady, but it is not entirely
responsible, as numerous natives who

search brought the possible cause to
the question of faulty diet, especially
in prisons. On this question Doctor
Mann was noncommittal. AS he ex-
pressed it: "The evidence accumulated
up to the present date regarding diet
as a factor is conflicting and uncon-
vincing. Diet may or may not be at

Ability Must Be Shown.

We are all makers of the future. II
we have no voice in what is to be
that is because we have not lived UP
to our rights. Every man and woman
is blessed with some outstanding abil-
ity or other. Yet some of us have not
developed what we have. Because we
have not had the same conspicuous
talents as neighbor John we have SIM
ply ceased trying to be anything. No
wonder the matter of getting bread
for the Riddles has become a trial.
Folks do not know what's in us be-
cause we have given them no demon
stration of what to expect. It's our
right to be recognized, but that will
never be until we do a few things to
merit q place In the limelight, and
that's not so hard If you forget the
spectators and work hard.-Grit.

Everybody is talking about yeast

The reason is that yeast contains a
vital substance known as vitamines,
which we do not get in most of our
foods These vitamines are absolutely
necessary to the system, and it is be-
cause people do not get enough of
them that they become thin pale
