V|TAM|NES AID
To THE HEALTH
TELLS ABOUT FOODS WHICH
HAVE ELEMENTS THAT AID
IN A BALANCED DIET.

Lansing, June Its a very odd
,thing-as odd rs can be-But what
ever Miss Il. eats, turns into Miss T.
And it promotes growth and health
If it contains vitamine A, Il, or G, ac-
cording to an article ON nutrition by
Dean Mary +. Sweeney in the May
number Of Public Health, monthly
magazine Of the state department of
health.
"Vitamines mean life" says Dean
Sweeney. "The body lives a hand TO
mouth existence, depending upon a
constant external supply of these
Indispensable factors for the proper
promotion of growth and adequate
protection of life. Absence of vita
mines is noted by appearance of GER
tain diseases known TO be due to de-
ficient' diet. Investigation with
British, Indian and French troops
have proved that vitamines are quite
as essential in adult diet as in that
# children.
''Dietaries kept by 100 children in a
ypical public school clinic in Michi-
gan, showed, during February, only
hread and potatoes-no milk, no fruit
no green Vegetables. Every one of
these children was from to 40 per
cent underweight. BY adding milk
and some green vegetables to their
diet it was possible to increase their
weight from to ? per cent.
"Vitamine occures in such human
foods as butter-fat and lard, in
spinach, carrots, yellow sweet po-
tatoes and tomatoes, in the yellow
Of eggs, in orange juice and in the
g.andular organs of animals, the
liver, kidneys, heart and pancreas.
Ct these the most important sources
are butter-fat and spinach. Vita
mine B is found principally in
spinach, whole wheat flour, eggs,
whole milk, yellow fruits, animal
organs, nuts, legumes, cabbage, po-
tatoes, carrots, onions, turnips, beets
and tomatoes. Vitamine c is also
found in fresh vegetables and fruits.
IF the days ration contains suf-
ficient quantities of whole wheat
bread and crackers, butter and meat,
fruit and green vegetables, concludes
Dean Sweeney, there will undoubt-
eddy be complete safety"

PIONEER CATHOLIC FAMILIES OF
 NORWICH ACCOMPLISH GREAT WORK

who made the long trip to church on horseback. But these were the well off folk of that early day; and the major. ity reached their church after long and toilsome walking.
 Many of the names of those early Catholics were recalled in the memorials in the new edifice of St. Mary's; many other names are revived in the churches in other sections of the town, others are rarely heard nowadays. Names such as Healey, Browne, McDermott, Corcoran, Plunkett, Dunn, Murphy, McChesney, McCabe, SkeIley. Sullivan, Byrne, Lee, Burns, Roarke, Burke, Leahy, Stanley, Mullen, O'Neill, ,'.. Gal livan, Walsh, Kennedy, McCloud, Mo Guinness, Morris, Sheridan, CassIu., Driscoll, Kelley, Connor, Collier, Shields. Somers, Coyle, Moriarty, Cummings, these any many others are associated with the early history of the Catholic church in
 Norwich. The industrious, frugal, de-
 vout. loyal families and individuals work 1 ed and sacrificed for their church. laying the firm foundation upon which are build i ed the fourishing parishes of today. In the early days. the late Father" 1 ByFne, as he was affectionately called, or ganized and superintended the Sunday school. The late William T. Browne was
 a prominent and useful man in the grow i ing church, so busy that many called him
 deacon" since he was pew rent collector,
 sang in the choir, and taught in the Sun day school. It is recalled that MT.
 Brown taught an ambitious lad, named Patrick Dunphy, the Latin required by a boy who serves the priests at mass; lat
 CT Patrick Dunphy became successful priest.
 Before her death, the wife of Mir. Browne used to recall the pioneer days when she made the candles to be used
 on the simple altar of the cradle church. D
 Other good and devout housewives and
 sturdy energetic men helped in similar
 ways It was a notable achievement
 that when a parish fair was held for a
 month to raise funds towards completing
 the interior of the new St. Patrick's
 church. the Catholic people were able to } clear over $10,00o. The Cathplics of Norwich haRe always ranked high among ) those of the diocese for liberal giving
 loyal support of their churches, practic. , al zeal and reverent up-holding of theiI priests in every parish and diocesan un- dertaking.
 That they made patriotic citizens was ] evidenced during the Civil war. Spanish

WEEKLY BIBLE STUDY
 CLASS Ar LOCAL

The weekly Bible study class We'd nesday evening at the Y M C.. A. proved profitable and interesting to the many present. The topic of the study was A Lesson in Patience and a Need ed Warning.
 The Scripture used was Citations, the sixth chapter. Among the things developed in the study were the follow ing: Paul had at another time rem.n~ ed the people their bodies were the temples of God. and had admonished them to be sure to glorify God in their bodies. It was. suggested that every body is a sacred thing and should be used accordingly. Paul expected his converts to treat their weaker broth >ers with charity. and patient kindness and God expects the same of us. If VIC adhere closely to the great Golden Rule" in our actions toward others. we will always have due consideration fo1 them. According to the Scriptures, we should be glad to help others bear their burdens. and at the same time- -ze= must expect to bear our ozFn burdens | especially the burden of duty, etc. wher we bear another burden, we act in ac- | cord with the words of Jesus that we should serve one another. A man has no right to glory in the fact that he ls | superior to others in ability to with stand temptation, for he owes this abi!. ity and all of his ability. to the grace of God - r We should never compare ourse4ve, with other men, but with God: we vii then always keep humble. The fac. thai my neighbor does things that concluding that am better than he.fel most of us Tive in glass houses' Int one man of all men that I must watcf steadily is myself; if I do this I will have plenty to do I am not responsi | ble for another man. save as mus i help him in every way possible to b, the man he should be; 'every one mus give account of himslef to God" Tn greatest battlefield in the world is tn human heart; there are two force fighting for the mastery in every life the forces of the flesh and the force of the spirit; one lifts and the othe lowers. The only way to crowd sin o;1 I of my life and keep 1t out is to fill m, life with those tbings that are true an, pE~e and noble, even the things of tn
 spirit:
 There is, much truth in the saysns l that ,'tno house is big enough for tsp families and this is certainly true o the human heart. If we would live victorious life. we must be out for Jesu Christ, and enter into His service wit
 enthusiasm. The weakness of the indl vidual Christian life is that it lack
 enthusiasm for the things of the spir; l We enthuse about almost every othe thing but religion: steady enthusiasr wisely and tactfufly directed will d

 This class meets every Wednesday q

 The first scene was an old-fashioned minstrel sketch with the half circle chor- us comedian end men, and all. Led by Master of Ceremonies Allan Karle, vari- ous members of the chorus rendered solo numbers, being repeatedly recalled for encores by the appreciatiye audience. As in past appearances, Jay Clay, Jack (Smoke) Gray, Frank (Craoker) Quinn, Jimmy White and Fred Miller gave clever exhibitions of soft shoe and buck and wing dancing that brought hearty ap- plause. Their jokes and songs were new.

In the second part Frank (Cracke1) Quinn, the comedian lion tames, kept the house in an uproar with his daring" lion 1 fight. Fred Miller, wild and woolly, was the ferocious lion under the hypnotic control of Allan Karle.
