CHICAGO, May 15.--Are the Great

the Great Lakes country, and. with
the help Of Chicago and a few other
cities, has created a serious but
probably temporary lowering Of the
lakes.
While Lakes Michigan and Huron
at the present time are at the lowest
point in their recorded history, the
writer, in going back over the lake
level records. finds that there have
been other times when situations al
most as bad existed.
In the past IS years Lakes Michi-
gan and Huron have varied nearly
feet in their levels, though the
tendency has been downward. In

while in 1856 they were feet above

and a high rate Of evaporation are
set down az the main causes for the
fluctuations. In fact, out Of the last

inches by the diversion OF water at
Chicago for disposal Of the city's sew

in Lake Superior for power purposes,
and inches by diversion of water
from Lake Erie.
Just now a bitter fight is being
waged against Chicago for diverting
a great amount Of water for sewage
disposal purposes. This diversion is
admitted by Chicago, and is said by
Army engineers to be responsible for
nearly inches Of the lowering lake
levels. While not the principal cause
for the big drop Of several feet, the
claim Is that Chicago's diversion is

Elusive Health Substances Have
Been Studied for 20
Years.

l,or 20 Years scientists have been
working on those all-important but
elusive things in foods called vita
minis.
Though nobody has yet succeeded
in separating from food materials a
chemical substance which ne can
point TO as pure vitamin. flVe distlhct
vitamins are known to exist because
OF the effect each has in promoting
health and preventing a certain dis
ease or undesirable physical condi-
ton. Some foods have been found 10
he sources of one vitamin. some OF
another. BY comparing the erect OF
one of these foods with another When
used in an experimental diet, some
thing has been found out. too. about
the relative values Of foods as sources
of the different vitamins.
Health List Increased.
50 the list of foods known to con-
laiu the different TitaminS has III
creased along with the facts about
the functions and properties of the
vitamins themselves. The intelligent
person seeking to apply this newer
knowledge of nutrition to his every
day food habits consequently wants TO
know what foods to eat so as to OBJ
tain a good supply of all these vita
where is Is enough to say that Ger
tain food has vitamins. What vita
min. he asks, and how does this food
rank as a source of this Vitamin'

advisable 10 include them.
Spinach Has All Kinds.
Spinach, egg .yolk, whole milk.
butter, cream, cod and other fish
liver oils are indicated as excellent
sources of vitamin A, one Of the
growth-promOting vitamins. Fish liver
and meat liver range from good to
excellent sources of this vitamin
spinach is also an excellent source of
vitamin b and Il very good source Of
vitamin {. The best sources of vita
min b, often called the antineuritic
vitamin. widely distributed in many
common foods, are spinach. tomatoes.
peas. beans, asparagus. okra, and
whole grain cereals.
Vitamin G. the antiScorbutic vita
min, is more easily destroyed BY
cooking than the others; hence foods
containing it should be eaten raw or
cooked as little as possible. It is
found in greatest abundance in citrus
fruits, tomatoes, cabbage and turnips.
The outstanding foods which should
never be neglected as sources of vita
minis in the diet are citrus fruits, cab
bage, green.leaf vegetables. tomatoes,
whole milk. butter and cream.

PATCHING PLASTER
OFFERS EASY WAY
TO FIX old WALLS
MAKES 1T POSSIBLE FOR
HOUSEWIFE on HUSBAND
TO FILL UGLY CRACKS
8 cHEAPLY IN SPARE TIME


Before walls and ceilings ear
be re-papered, re-painted or re.
calcimined, unsightly cracks musi
be filed in and plaster must be
restored to patches where it has
fallen of, exposing the lath. For
no surface decoration win hide
these defects permanently. No
matter what kind Of paint or paper
may be used, 1t is only a question
OF time before unrepaired cracks
will show through.
Patching the walls is essential
to the housewives own satisfac-
ton, but more so If there is any
Thought Of selling the house. For
few things can spoil the appear
ance Of room SC completely as
.yawning cracks in the plaster.
Moreover, they are unsanitary be-
cause they harbor dirt and YER
min.
Plaster of Paris often is tried
as patching material. But it
never gives permanent satisfac-
ton. A little lesson in physics
viii show why. Both Plaster Of
Paris and ordinary wall plaster
are gypsum But each is made ac-
cordihg to special process SO
that Plaster Of Paris is cherni-
calyy denser than common plaster.
Now, when changes in tenn
perature affect the wall, the or
d.1ary. plaster contracts and ex-
pands more freely than the denser
Plaster Of Paris does. So the two
materials pull apart and the orig
inal crack or other bIemishes re-
appears. This is true also Of ce-
ments and filters which sometimes
are tried for patching.
Yet the housewife or her hus-
band cannot be expected to buy q
bag Of wall plaster and a quantity
Of graded sand and to mix them
in right proportions and then APP
ply them. In the first place, only
q little plaster IS needed for THE
