yITAMIN EASY TO FIND
BUT HARD TO FIND OUT

When the eminent Austrian scien-
fist, Casimir Funk, tracked that mys-
FERROUS life giving substance to its lair
and then named it vitamin, he started
something that bids fair to assume
Importance in rank with the telephone,
the steam engine and the Ford.
Little did the professor think that
he was upsetting the calm and order
ly lives of our most dignified scientists
and medical experts, causing them to
plunge madly into orgies of research,
and vie exeitedly with each other over
each new discovery in this intriguing
field.
In spite of the fact that nobody has
ever seen vit-min face to face, its
marvellous performances go on apace.
Nobody ever saw electricity but no
one. who ever picked up live wire
doubted its presence. So it is with
vitamin.
Anyone who has seen dying pigeons
rats and pigs revived simply by feed
ing them tiny fragments of yeast, can
not doubt the presence of a magic
something" Anyone who has visit
ed hospitals, where tests on sick peo-
pie and well people are under way,
must be forcibly struck by the almost
encanny recuperatiye and TOMS effect
of yeast vitamin.
So yeast, which for all these years
has led such q prosoic career, has
come into its own and from all indi-
cations seems headed for an illustri-
Gus future.
True, yeast was used many years
ago as home remedy" for boils, but
although it di dthe work, not much
significance was attached to its cura-
tive powers. Il was not recognized by
the medical profession and had no
standing in professional therapeutic
circles. But look at it nowl
Newspapers, magazines, medical
journals and scientific publications all
over the world proclaim in no uncer-
tain terms its present high estate.

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET

Edgerton, Wis, March "a, 1922.
The northern market showed con-
tinued activity during the week. A
number of firms had men in the field
riding hard in the bad roads to find
desirable leaf. Counted in number of
acres the buying of attractive leaf
is not footing up in numbers of many
figures. The type sought by the pack
ers of cigar leaf is not abundant any
longer even around Viroqua where con-
siderable leaf is yet unsold. However;
taking the stemming purchases, the
sorting tobacco, and the leaf with
drawn by the growers themselves for
handling in their cooperative ware
house altogether, and there is a thin
ming out which eventually will mean
a cleanup of the 1921 acreage. Prices
have run true to style of goods, stem
ming prices at the bottom, and near
the II cent mark for the top.
In the southern counties matters are
rather quiet just now. Some stem
ming tobacco is bought, but the rush is
over for the time being, and the firms
looking for sorting goods are moving
cIrcumspectly and buying cautiously.
The steamers are not pushing matters
now beyond the cent figure, and the
packers are not trying to boost prices
beyond the ~ to 10 cent mark for the
best.
The work in the warehouses is NOV
ing quietly and steadily. Everybody
is.slad to have work and to be able
to earn fair wages.
The movement in old goods contin-
ues slow. Small lots direct to the
manufacturer is current but sales of
large holdings by private packers have
not been reported, With the setback
experienced in the cigar trade during
the two first months of the year, no
one has looked for any squirt in de-
mand for old leaf during the weeks
passed. As soon as a pickup in the
cigar business is recorded, it will be
reflected in the demand for material
to go into new stocks.-Tobacco Re-
porter.

pies, blackheads, Indigestion, failing
appetite, anaemia, malnutrition, ner-
vousness, physical debility, colitis, and
other symptoms of what we call
vaguely a "run down" condition.
Recent articles seem to show that
vitamin even makes the hair grow in
a way that would make Lady Godyia
herself envious. What will be the
next revelation? Are we to find that
in this microscopic plant lies the fab
led fountain of youth
The future will tell and in the mean
time, while celebrated medical men
are experimenting, business men are
not entirely idle. Thepatent medicine
experts" are busy and everywhere
the pubic is urged to buy so called
vitamin tablets, some Of which are no
doubt worthless.
At time like this a word or eau
ton may be in order, and if it IS,
take this for what it is worth: get
yeast from yeast makers or misceIla-
neous unknowns-and get weast Of
authentic purity and tested potency.

START WITH THE YOUNG

Judge Hickman Seaman, chief JUS
tice of the Cook County Criminal court
gave two reasons for the remarkable
prevalence of crimein the large cities,
in an address before the Chicago Med
icaI Society.
"First is the passing Of the old
fashioned home and second is the fact
that the American people are losing
their faith in God" said Judge Scan
Ian.
'The old American home with its
training in religion, was the finest and
best factor in keeping down crime this
country has ever known. As an in
stitution, it is fast falling into decay
with a resultant increase in crime.
"When | began the practice of law,
men used clubs and axes in their law
Iessness. Now they use automatic
pistols and automobiles and have girl
friends to help them. They once We're
cautious and killed only to save their
own lives Now they XIII on the slight
pretext.
eff a man is penniless, they knock
his teeth down his throat because he
has no money. If he looks at them
too long, they kill him for fear he
might identify them if they are
caught"
In this connection, A. N. Farmer,
nationally known educator, said that
character building is the great need
of the American schools. He referred
to the $10,000,000 home for fatherless
and motherless children which the
Brotherhood of American Yeomen
plans to establish and said that its
basic purpose was to save the Amer
lean child.
Eighty per cent Of the crimes of
this country" said Mr.. Farmer, "are
committed by persons whose child
hood was neglected If left to shift
for themselves, the children the Yeo-
mems home will care for and educate
might eventually join the army of
criminals that is increasing at such a
tragic rate. The great principals of
the home will be to build character and
so mould the children that they will
be an honor to siciety and the state"

WOMAN
SO YEARS OLD HAS
274 DESCENDANTS

Sabetha, Kaps-Mrs. Bertha Per-
kins, who will be IS years old next
April, found a real thrill recently
when three additional great-grand-
children arrived in three Sabetha
HON es, within a period of As hours.
They brought the number of her de-
scendants up to 274.
Mrs. Perkins five generations of
descendants are divided as follows:
10 children, eight OF whom are
living.
rs grandchildren.
1856 great grand children
25 great-great-grand
great-great-great grandchildren.
Mrs. Perkins was born in Viz
ginia, April %, 1924; married David
Perkins in Ohio, March 16, 1843.
Her maiden name was Bertha Mar
cum. In 1S4S they emigrated to
Iowa, and in 1857 took a homestead
in this-Nemahs. county-where she
has lived ever since. Mr.. Perkins
died in 1893
Good and old fashioned cook
ing" is the recipe Mrs. Perkins
gives for longevity. ut is no Won
der people do not live to old age
like they used TO, considering the
rich foods they put in their stom-
achs nowadays. People do pot eat
enough coarse food. Corn bread
once or twice a day would improve
their health. Here are a few OF her
ideas as she expressed them:
81 believe women should aid their
husbands in voting right, but do
not believe women should go into
politics or vote.
Cooking courses in schools and
colleges run too much to fudge and
fancy dishes. I believe still, that
the best place for a girl to learn
housekeeping and cooking is from
her mother-but 1 am in doubt
whether some of these modern-day
mothers know much about such
things
Work is the best tonic Why, I
do something every day. In the
summer time / take care OF my
vegetable garden. Last summer l
raised so many vegetables had
them to pass around among the
