ments, In food have been talked
about, too.
Although the nourishing effect
may be considered proper from the
chemical and mechanical stand
point. this may not supply nj our
needs.
There are specific substances IN
food that regulate the individual
organism. They are called the vita

vegetables. legumes-that IL. peas,

contain II. and so do malt. whole
grain cereals and red meats.
Absence OF Vitamin B results in
poor appetite and digestion. loss OF
weight and emaciation. There will
be loss OF vigor and perhaps en-
larged ductless glands. The ervou
system may be affected.
Its presence IN the diet not only
increases the appetite and digestion.
