Those Vital Vitamins.

During the building of a railroad in
the Amazon jungle. where a camp of
American engineers was at work,
complaints against the food were con-
tinual. So the company in New York
that employed them sent the best
American canned food and made ar
rangements for the shipment of meat.
In the middle of the tropics the men
continued to live on meat and pota-
toes and white bread, as they did at
home. and the more they ate the more
often deaths occurred of a mysterious
disease. At last some one suggested
that they needed more vitamins, and
told them to eat wild fruits growing
in the jungles. But as these were
eaten by monkeys. too, the men re
fused to eat monkey food" and CON
tinued to live on canned or frozen or
starchy foods. Finally the graves be
came more numerous than the tents.
and the project was abandoned. all
because intelligent men preferred to
die rather than to eat any food TO
which they weren't accustomed
Now, what do you know about that?
