to public health is the opinion of
pr. S. Monrad, Chief Of the Queen

in recent discussion Of the sub

that children need great many
things that are not SO necessary to
the grown up person, but generally
speaking we, as also our children,
get quite enough vitamins through
normal food, when it Is good and

children but only for short time,
a long boiling causing certain chang
es in the milk, which makes it less
valuable.
With regard to the modern vi amin
industry, Dr. Monrad said:
1.-The public has vitamins on the
brain, and in things like thas tusi-
ness. always becomes interested,
which is quite natural 1t will prove
a great business success for cou-
pie of years when the movement
will die away, and nothing more will
