The Purpose of Vitamins.

Not so long ago no one knew there
was such a thing as vitamin. The
world went along for thousands Of
years and not even learned men spe.
cialized in vitamin studies. Today
school children know there are such
elements.
When Funk discovered that 1t was
an element lacking in the polished
rice of the Japanese which was caus.
ing beri-beri, he did a wonderful
thing for humanity. He continued
his Investigations, and when he had
isolated the element which prevented
beri-beri, found to be present in whole
rice land since then in many other
foods, he called it vitamin B.
Since then, A. c, d and E have
been studied. But A, B and c are
the ones we know most about. These
are the ones we must be sure to pro-
vide daily. Vitamin ID, present in
milk and very abundant in cod liver
oil, is an Offset to ricketts,.
Vitamin A Is called the fat soluble
vitamin. 1t is present in milk, cream,
butter. cheese, egg yolks. liver, fish
oils Especially cod liver oiD, thin
green leaves of plants, yellow vege-
tables, ana III tne Ddnana, IN pruneS,
pineapple. etc. in germs Of seeds and

ART AND NEEDLE
ny NITA GREY.

Ann did so want to make a pretty
wolfe dress with plain shocking at the
neck, and Peg was explaining to her
how it could be done.
"As you have never done any
shocking before, it would be wise to
get pattern of a dress especially de-
signed for shocking. Then you cut
the dress out from the pattern and a
separate transfer pattern, consisting
of dots, comes for the shocking. This
you transfer to your material with q
hot iron. You then shirr the material
to fit the neck, and later you can bind
the neck line, so that you may wear
a. collar with it or wear it plain.

broidery thread. in a contrasting
color to your dress, and follow the
dots which you have stamped on the
material. Pick up two dots with a
running stitch and pull together. then
you slip your needle underneath the
stitch to the wrong side Of the ma
terial and go to the next dot.
after you have had experience in
shocking it won't always be necessary
to have a transfer pattern, because
you could mark the dots yourself with
pencil. Fancy shocking is, of
course, more difficult, but it is not
hard to learn after you have done
plain shocking"
"Well, I'm determined to learn"
Ann remarked, because there is
something about a daintily shocked
Summer dress that has a charm all
its own"

Gle competition. In each of the last
six years, the average passenger SER
vice performed by the railways per
inhabitant has been less than 1911, the
lowest figure-303 miles or de-
crease of II per cent below 1911-be-
ing reached in 1926.
Regarding railway rates, the re-
port presents some interesting COM
parsons between the increases which
have occurred since 1911 in Western
freight rates and in the farm prices
of various agricultural products. Ac
cording to the yearbook, the average
amount received by the Western
roads for hauling ton of freight one
mile was 0.939 cents in 1911 and 1.1S7
cents in 1926. In 1911, according to
the U. S. Department of Agriculture,
the farm price Of wheat, was GIT cents
bushel while in 1926 it was 1859
cents bushel A bushel of wheat
would thus pay for carrying a ton OF
freight SO miles on the Western rail-
ways in 1911 and 1923 miles in 1926.
In other words, a bushel of wheat, on
the average, would buy 26 per cent
more Western freight transportation
service in 1926 than in 1911. Similar
comparisons show that the purchas-
ing power of potatoes per bushel In
buying Western freight transporta-
ton has increased 1873 per cent, while
there have been like increases in pur-
chasing power per unit of 13 per cent
for cotton, 43 per cent for hogs, 81
per cent for lambs, AZ per cent for
chickens, SO per cent for wool, and 46
per cent for butter. 1t is not contend
ed, states the report, that the fore
going illustrations apply to every
commodity. In some instances the in
crease in price since 1911 has beer
less than the increase in freight rates
while IN certain other instances COM
modify prices in 1926 were actually
lower than in 1911. Viewing the situa-
ton as a whole, however, the conclu
sion is reached that both agriculture

The most plausible diagnosis | can
make is that you have bronchial asth-
ma.
Proceeding on this supposition, the
first step is to ascertain the underly-
ing cause. This may be disease of the
heart, kidneys or blood, or it may be
diabetes. Have your urine examined
first of all. Also have a blood test
made.
If all these tests are negative we
assume that your trouble is true asth-
ma and not simply asthmatic attacks.
Then it becomes necessary to find the
irritant that is responsible. What l
mean is this: You are sensitized to
some protein substance-haid, feath-
ers, food, etc. There are tests to de-
termine which is the sensitizing agent
and it would probably be necessary
for you to go to larger city to OBJ
tain these tests.
At the same time the sputum should
be examined for bacteria.

various ceremonial visits to Canadian
cities in the East, departed for the

porters and newspaper photographers.

with the best pedigreed cattle, sheep,

by the offspring of his blooded stock

Among his well known neighbors in
Alberta are the Duke of Westminster,
the Earl of Mimic, Guy Weadick of the

US. HAS MORE THAN
THIRD OF WORLDS
RAILWAY MILEAGE

Chicago, August 10-With less
than eight per cent of the worlds
area and with less than six per cent
of the worlds population, the United
States has more than 80 per cent of
the worlds railway mileage. This is
one of the striking facts presented in
the annual railway yearbook which
has just been issued by the Western
Railways Committee on Public rela-
lions at Chicago.
AS showing the magnitude of rail
way operations in this country this
yearbook contains some interesting
and illuminating information regard
ing the operations of the railways in
an average hour. In one hour, on an
average, the report states, the rail
ways spend more than $530,000 in
operating expenses, pay more than
$336,000 in wages to their employees
(much Of this total being included in
operating expenses, and pay more
than $4,000 in taxes to national, state
and local governments. In an hour
more than 5000 cars are loaded with
revenue freight on the railways lines,
the total freight loaded in this peri
cd amounting to more than 100000
tons. Likewise, $4,000 passengers, on
the average, board the railways trains
each sixty minutes. When the dis
lance which this freight and these
passengers are carried is considered,
! it appears that the average service
performed each hour by the railways
is equivalent to hauling more than
fifty million tons of freight for the
distance of one mile and to carrying
more than four million passengers for
the same distance.
AS regards the Importance Of our
railways to the individual citizen, the
yearbook shows striking and signifi-
cant figures of the average railway
service rendered per inhabitant. Last
year for example, the freight service
received, on an average, by each in
dividual in the country was equivalent
to hauling 1871 tons of freight fol
the distance of one mile. This figure
represented an increase of AZ pei
cent over the 1911 average of 1861
ton-miles. This increase, according tt
the report, presents one Of the prob
lens which the railways are solving
and must continue to solve for the
public welfare. That is, not only mus
the railways keep their facilitie
apace with the growth of population
but must further make the necessar,
provisions to furnish efficiently tn
ever-increasing freight service whicl
the average individual is demanding.
Unlike the freight service, how
ever, the passenger service perform
ed per inhabitant by the railways ha
shown a marked decline in recen
years. In 1911 this service wa
equivalent to carrying each person i
the United States on a trip of "a
miles. This average had increased t
AL miles in 1919 and 440 miles i
