SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DR.. Louis e. Bisch.

HE hear a great deal these
w days about vitamins. Just
what are they?
To summarize it one might
say that vitamins are certain
important chemical constituents
of food which are essential to
perfect health. Exactly what they
point. What Is known, however,
Is that the human being Is apt
to be short on certain vitamins
which his body needs because of
the highly refined foods he eats.
When his diet lacks such vita

Ill or he may feel bit off

often be a puzzle as to exactly
what is ailing him both to him.
self as well as to his doctor.
Interest in these chemical food
factors really goes back to the
days Of the sailing vessel. Then
it was that scurvy was not I'M
common among the sailors who
were deprived Of fresh vegetables
Willie at Sod.
But 1t had been discovered as
early as 1747 that If the sailors
took orange or lemon juice they
would escape scurvy. In other
words, these juices supplied some
thing which was lacking in the
diet when scurvy developed.
Later it was found that the
polished rice given in such great
quantity to Japanese sailors in
the navy produced disease
called beriberi. Adding barley to
the diet made beriberi disappear.
Still later Investigations finally
brought the whole subject of vita.
minis to the fore and scurvy,
ricketts,, beriberi. and pellagra were
looked upon as diseases caused by
vitamin deficiency. the exact, de-
tailed nature of these vitamins re-
naming unknown.
At the present time vitamins
are classed as Vitamin A, ricketts,,
beriberi and pellagra vitamin B.
Vitamin c, Vitamin D, and Vita
min E.
Vitamin A is essential to growth.
To be deficient in it seems to
make the individual more sus-
ceptible to infection.
Vitamin B Is concerned with
beriberi and to a certain kind OF

Ideas of the Atom
BIZ Archibald Henderson

GEVERAL years ago, at one
~ of the leading universities of
the world, I found myself in the
presence of a world-famous
physicist. took advantage of the
occasion to discuss some Of the
newer theories, especially the con.
tributions Of Einstein, with this
great authority. When he had con-
cluded. he said: "A gerater man
than Einstein is here-Niels Bohr."
An extraordinary development
of theories and Of practice regard
ing the atom and its constituent
parts has taken. place very re-
Gently. 1t is well to recall that
during the year 1928 there We're
working in the laboratory of Pro-
lessor, now Sir, Ernest Rutherford,
at the University of Manchester,
two brilliant young men, G. w. T.
Moseley and Niels .Bohr. In Sc
ries of important. investigations,
Rutherford had already shown
that the atom is nuclear in struc-
ture, with a surrounding cloud Of
free electrons. The stage was set
for striking developments.
The world at large knows little
or nothing Of Moseley. The rea-
son is bitterly unfortunate. He
was killed during the world war.
Moseley had made a. close study
of certain lines in the Roentgen
ray spectra with respect to their
frequency. He finally proved
that there was some constant
number for atoms which increased
by equal amounts from element to
element in the periodic system.
and actually showed that the
atomic number of an element is
o measure of its auclear charge.
