SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DR.. C. "A. L. Reed

M1LK fat, as demonstrated IN
w all the famine areas Of the
World War, is an absolute neces-
sity for human Well-being.
We are now told by Cramer
Uondon lancet that we are com
fronted by a world shortage Of
this essential dietetic element. OF
course, in the prosperous United
States this almost appalling fact
has not been brought home to us.
Here all have butter for their
bread. But even here, In individ-
ual instances. either through
necessity or distaste, persons do
not eat enough milk fat. Let us
see what this may mean to them.
Now, readers of these articles
know that several diseases are
due to the absence OF vitamins
from food. A thing which is only
just being realized is that q man
may be getting enough vitamins
to keep disease away, but not
enough to keep him in good
health. Vitamins act by the spe-
cific stimulating effect they have
upon certain tissues and organs
OF the body. II enough OF this
stimulation is not supplied in the
food, these cells or tissues do not
function as well as they ought to,
and the extent to which they fail
Is proporttonate to the amount Of
the deficiency and the length of
time for which they suffer for 1t.
Diets deficient in vitamins can
produce any degree OF poor1iness,
from a slight feeling of being "off
color" to acute scurvy or neu.
ritis. In this way they are very
like the "hormones' secreted by
the endocrine glands.
The action Of Yitamins has been
studied over long periods on a
population Of laboratory animals
under controlled conditions. This
has shown that rats kept on a
natural diet poor in Vitamins,
such as white bread, maize and
rice, will grow and breed and have
q fairly normal appearance. But
IL they are reared alongside an
other population OF rats which has
been given q diet rich in VitaminS
they are obviously not so we'll
grown, nor do they rear their
young SO well. The most striking
difference is that animals reared
on the poor vitamin A diet nearly
all develop septic bronchO.pneu-
monia, while the well-fed animals
do not.
There Is ample evidence that, as
in white rats, so in human com.
munities. Before we knew OF the
existence OF vitamins epidemics CT
pneumonia occurred in industrial
schools and other institutions
where the greatest care was given
to housing. When the vitamins
were discovered and the diet OF
these places was revised in the
light of the new knowledge it was
found that vitamin A--the fat
soluble vitamin-was gravely de.
ficient.
When enough vitamin A was
given the epidemic ceased. 1t is not
unreasonable to suppose that the
frequency with which broncho.
pneumonia occurs in the children
OF poor people Is due to a def
cheney of vitamin A. This is the
vitamin that comes In butter fat
and makes milk necessary for the
welfare OF the world.

Dividends On The Love Market
FALLING in love with a woman
Il charmer is like biting into a
kumquat; first you think it's an
orange-and then you know it's q

A man can forgive a woman for
catching him in a lie; but what
gets his nerve is that atavistic In
stinct by which he always knows
when he is GOING to tell her a
lie-before he opens his mouth.

The Up-to-the-minute Girl: She
carries q brief case in one hand
and a vanity case in the other.
She can swing a wicked golf stick
and use a can-operer with equal
skill. She can drive a car and a
good bargain. She has cuddly lit.
tie clinging-vine ways, and at the
same time a punch that makes it
unnecessary for her to walk
home" And then she wonders
why men don't understand" her!
A woman may have her face
lifted: but once her illusions about
herself have begun to sag, nothing
except a brand new romance will
bring them back to the normal.

A man is as young or as old as
his enthusIasms. Count no man
old who still has the heart to start
a new enterprise, learn a new
game, or fall in love with an
other woman. YOUTH is the spirit
of adventure.
The only thing you can be sure
Of when you marry is that some
times you are going to be hated
like an alarm clock, sometimes
lodged like an accusing con-
science, sometimes coddled like a
kitten, and sometimes adored like
a plaster saint-but never treated
like a human being.
Love is like q bargain or a four
leaf clover, something that you
never find when you go LOOKING
for it.

The masons and StonecutterS who built
the numerous Maya cities must also

have been too hard for any gentleman.
The civilized manner III which the
