Congressman Millspsugh said the

the entire trouble in the rent situa

But after watching her puff

Vegex - richest of all foods in Vitdnin B

A RE you one Of the thousands who are
~ tually starving for vtamins. The Peoples
= - Institute of New York City estimates there
are 100000 children in New York City alone suf
fering from manutrition, caused by a diet def
cheney especially in vitsmins. An undersupply
of vitamins, affects people in many different ways.
Sometimes it causes nervousness. Other times
lack of energy, tired feeling and nervous ex-
baustion; again sour stomach, indigestion, con-
stipation, boils, pmpes and general debility.
Rven soft bones and bad teeth caused, be-
cause the living cells which build them depend
upon vitamins for their power to deposit lime
and bony structure. Immigrants coming to
America with sound teeth often, six months to
two years after arrival suffer from serious tooth
decay and pyhorrea which follows the change to
American white -four and canned foods.
Children who suffer from Vitamin starvation are
never robust. Their bodies do not develop prop
eriy. Feeding experiments have proved animal
life cannot exist without vitamins.
