Your Health

vitamins have become so ia.
miliar that the jokesters of the
nation can make them the sub
ject Of their merrimeI1t at any
opportunity. We know a good
deal more about their action
than we do about their chemi-
cal structure, and so when some
body says: Let me see one Of
those vitaminS hear so much
about" we are unable to sat-
isfy the demand, and this is
likely to lead to some doubt
and consequent scoffing.
More fuel for this has been
furnished by the habit of man.
ufacturers and food purveyor5
advertising some certain prod
uct as containing an especially
large amount of this or that
vitamin.
Many Food FadiSts
AS DR.. Morris Fishbein says,
the American people are ex-
tremely liable to go to extremes
in health programs. If some
body says that a kind Of fruit
Juice is a good food and con-
tair1s a lot of vitamin c, the re-
suit is that large numbers OF
the population drink or eat
practically nothing else but
that fruit juice for awhile.
In spite of all this, the vita
Minis are real enough. The role
they play in health is a very
important one. No single con-
tribution to the science of nu-
triton has been more import
ant than the growth of our
definite knowledge about the
vitamins.
The most valuable thing to
remember, however, is that our
common foods are the best
sources of vitamins. Artificial
products for which the claim
is made that they contain q
great deal of vitamin this or
that, are usually not as reli'
able for this purpose as the
average foods any normal per-
son uses during the course OF
an average day.
Artificial Pep Methods
The practice of exposing
foods to irradiation by violet
rays in order to increase the
content of vitamin D is an
illustration of what 1 mean.
To quote DR.. Fishbein again,
the amount Of vitamin D in
some irradicated cereals is so
slight that an infant would be
required to eat four pounds Of
cereal daily to get the equiv
alent of a normal dosage Of
cod liver oil.
It is significant that when
manufacturers of such vita
mized products urged to have a
standard for the amount of
vitamin their products should
contain, the standards set up
are those of very common food
substances. Carrots for vita
min A, yeast for vitamin B,
orange juice for vitamin c and
cod liver oil for vitamin d.

Advice to the
Lovelorn
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX
An Authority on Problems OF
Love and Marriage

A Young Wife's Troubles
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: I am
a young wife of % with two
small children. My husband IS
the same age. Every girl he sees
he plays up to and has been
going to the movies every Satur-
day night for two years and has
taken me with him only twice
in that time. My mother lives
only five miles away; still I've
only been to see her a couple OF
times since I've been married.
Whenever I go anywhere
with my husband, his mother
goes along too. Usually she
picks a quarrel. My husband
backs her up; and my mother
in-law asks why I married him,
why I'm not content to stay at
home with my children. have
friends but do not want to
tell them of my trouble as
they advised me strongly
against marrying him. My hus-
band does not even want to
take his child in his arms when
there's a girl around.
I caught him holding hands
with an older woman and told
him of it. We quarreled bit
terly. Now he and his mother
are going off on a trip and I
must stay at home. 1 told him
I was afraid to be alone and
he is going to have my mother
stay with me during their abb
sence. He is going to take his
automobile which I do not
often get a chance to use.
AN UNHAPPY WIFE.
It would be unkind to tell
this child that she married too
young, and that her husband
is apparently a spoiled boy with
no knowledge of the response
bilities which come with being
a husband and father. A wo-
man in her position is always
happier if she is able to earn a
little money on the side which
would make her feel more indie
pendent. And I would suggest
that she consult the Young
Women's Christian Association,
or some similar agency, with
regard to vocational training.
A woman, very much in the
same position as she is, made
a little money every week by
darning and patching. If she
will send me a self-addreSsed
and stamped envelope may
have some suggestions to offer.
In the meantime I'd advise her
to consult her friends, whether
or not they advised her to
: marry.

AS yet we have had little to
say about opening no-trump
bids. While not as popular as
they once were, no-trumpS are
an important feature under
every system Of bidding. In a
very general sort of way evenly
divided suits 4-3-3-3) urge no
trumpS more than suit bids.
Trump declarations are best
with unevenly divided suits, es-
pecially when one void suit,
singleton or low doubleton is
held.
The minimum requirements
for an opening bid Of 1-No
Trump are: 212 quick tricks
Cor the equivalent) at least 8
guarded suits, and between 4
and 5 probable tricks.
Minimum guarded suits are:
, AK, K-X,Q-J-X,Q-1O-X.Q-X-X-X,
J-10-X-X, J-9-X-X, or any suit
of five cards, unless adversely
bid.
Many players differentiate
between three and four guarded
suits as follows: They open
with 1-No Trump to show four
guarded suits; in case their
partner supports that make
they shift to their best biddable
suit. allowing partner to choose
the final declaration. These
players open with a suit bid to
show only three guarded suits;
when their partner supports
their suit they shift to no trumps
to show that they have bid a
short suit. because they held

When Manners
Are Correct
By Mrs. G. Beeckman
Man!tO-Man Greeting
DEAR MISS BEECKMAN:

DEAR MISS BEECKMAN:
Please inform me the correct
thing to say when one man is
introduced to another man. It
seems rather effeminate for a
man to say to another, How
do you do?"
2. Is it always necessary for
men to shake hands when in
troduced? r.
/. There is only one phrase
that is accepted as acknowl-
edgment of an introduction,
and that is, ''How do you do?"
I think that your point of view
toward this phrase is a per-
sonal one only. for I have
watched "he-men" say it, and
I have never noticed any lack
of manliness and conviction.
Doesn't it depend on the way
it is said? Doesn't everything
that is said? Don't blame the
personality on the phrase.
2. When gentlemen are in
troduced to each other they
always shake hands.

5-YEARP PLAN

A five-year plan for the eco

America was advocted by DR.. w.

In an address at mass meet
ing yesterday under auspices Of
the local chapter of the National
Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People, at the
Nineteenth Street Baptist Church.
DR.. Dubois, an outstanding
leader of the race, outlined the
problems of health, work, edu-
cation and the church as the
points to be stressed in this
plan.
The church. he said, is the
most powerful organization in
the race and unless its program
Is rationalized. it cannot do its
work. In the matter of health
and work, he urged education
as the solving problem.
Miss E. F. G. Merritt, preSi-
dent of the local chapter, urged
the cooperation of the members
Of the association in it's unem-
ployment program. Others who
participated were J. Finley VIII

APPOR RT|0N|NG
NOT To AFFECT
DELEGATES

Delegates to the Democratic
National Convention next year
probably will be chosen on the
basis of existing representation In
Congress, Notwithstanding there
has been reapportionment affect
ing more than half of the States
Of the Union.
In an effort to head off a rising
controversy, Jouett ShouSe, chair
man of the Democratic Executive
Committee, sought and obtained
an opinion from John w. Davis,
1924 standard bearer. that the
1882 procedure should follow the
representation as of the Seventy
second Congress, rather than the
reapportioned Congresses that fol
low it.
21 States Benefit
If the Davis opinion is adopted
by the national committee here in
January, as expected, 81 States
will have as many delegates in
the convention next June as they
had in 1928, despite population
shifts that would have decreased
their delegations.
Under Democratic rules. the va
riouS States are allowed two con-
vention delegates for each Senator
and Congressman.
The final decision on which pro-
cedure is to be followed rests, Of
course, with the national commit
tee, which meets in January.
To Affect Wet Stand
Inasmuch as 81 States will
profit by adopting the Davis opin-
ion, the national committeeman
from these States are expected to
approve it. There will be, how
ever, energetic protest from the
States that lose by it.
The perennial wetand-dry ques-
ton figures in the situation to
some extent, for reapportipnment
takes strength away from the dry
States of the South and West, and
adds strength to the populous
States where enthusiasm for pro-
hihition is, to say the least, at low
ebb. Thus, the decision of the
national committee in the appor-
tionment Of delegates may prove
of considerable Importance:

Like Mother Used To Do
RN William nnrnes LoMcr

BY William Barnes Lower
If you're feeling sort of rocky
And disguised with yourself.
You haven't got the orders.
And the goods are on the shelf;
You've tried your best at smiling.
But only a grin will come.
And youi temper's short and snappy
In the love-nest you call home;
You'll get a lot of help from it
And keep from getting blue
II You go to church ON Sunday,
Like Mother used to do.
When you sit beside the sick bed
OF your darling little boy,
And the doctors diagnosis
Has dispersed your hopes and joy;
When your bills are multiplying
And your bank account is low;
And WHEY needs a little change,
About a week or so:
You'll get a boost and blessing
That will surely pull you through.
II you go to church on Sunday.
Like Mother used to do.
