CLINICAL TESTS FOR LATEN'
AVITAMINOSIS.


Perhaps one tenth of one per
cent of readers know what avita-
minosis means. Fully ten per cent
know what latent means. Latent
avitaminosis means the health i'm
pairment due to partial deficiency
Of one or another vitamin.
AS limited in the last lesson we
beg to be excused from suggesting
symptoms in the hope that we

for correspondents to recite their

there are not more than four pur-

conclude the individual is suffering

indicates is the resistance of the

unjust charges of cruelty in insti-
tutions.
Children or adults, especially
those whose health Is not so good,
who manifest a tendency to de-
velop such discoloration of the
skin from insignificant injury are
not necessarily suffering from a.
vitaminosis-C, but there is no
harm in making sure that such
persons get an adequate ration OF
vitamin c. A daily glass or. two

Juice, or the daily consumption of
at least two fresh fruits and two
vegetables raw or fresh greens, will
insure an adequate Vitamin c. ra-
ton for child or adult. At present
1t is estimated that an ounce of
orange juice or fresh or factory
canned Vacuum proeess) tomato
juice daily is the minimum vita
min c ration for a child.

first thing we learned. and the
first time also. we might add, that
we ever knew that hats had been

we learn now that, 1--WE shall see a

Couture jewelry is positively in
triguing this year. Tiaras which
were so popular last winter have
been replaced by daintier, less con-
spicuous ornaments that are to be
tucked between the points of two

across the part where bangs are
cut. One New York eairdresser
shows a stunning evening couture

Why. is It., wonder. that. veg
etable dishes, except for a few ro-
mantle exceptions, always sound
and often taste so deadly dull? Per-.
!haps it is because OF the casual
and uninspired cooking they too
frequently get, 50 that in the end
they are ,unmistakably in the un-
interesting category Of things that
are good for us"
i Yet when go to market these
crisp autumn days and see the col
orful cauiitiower and emerald broc-
COLI feel that ought to be able
not only to write, but to cook,
vegetable poems.
OF course, il you are bent on
sticking to one way Of doing each
vegetable, IL for instance, toma-
toes stewed represent the ulti-
mate in imagination to you, then
obviously there are no cooking
poems in your soul.
Speaking of tomatoes, there is q
grad array of things that can be
done to them. STUFF them, bake
them. use them In chowders, seal
u0p them with bread crumbs, COM
bine thew with meat, macaroni or
rice! Try, for instance, tomato and
macaroni Neapolitan as lunch-
con dish. Or use spaghetti If you
prefer. But don't break the sticks.
Put the ends in the boiling water
and as they become soft they will
curl up and the whole lengths can
be put under water.
Tomato and Macar0ni NeapOIitan
Two cups cooked macaroni,
cup milk, | tablespoon -four, Q
tablespoons butter, IL cup grated
cheese, 2 or large tomatoes,
dried bread crumbs or crisp ready
to-serve cereal, salt, pepper.
Melt butter, stir In flour and
slowly add milk, stirring CONSTANT
ly. Bring to the boiling point and
stir in cheese. Remove from heat
an dadd macaroni. Mix thorough
ly and spread in a shallow baking
dish. Peel tomatoes and cut in
halves. Lay these over the top,
cut side up, pressing into the
macaroni mixture. Sprinkle to-
matoes with salt and pepper and
dredge with bread crumbs or the
crisp cereal. Dot with bits of
butter, sprinkle with more grated
cheese and bake in moderate
oven until the tomatoes are soft
but not broken and the cheese Is
melted and rich brown. Serve
from baking dish.
Oysters in Celery Sauce
Two cups diced celery, ] cup
white sauce. s large oysters,
thin slices bacon, few drops onion
Juice. Juice half lemon.
Add onion juice to lemon Juice
and dip each oyster in 1t. Wrap
each oyster in slice of bacon, fast
ening the bacon with small skew
ers or wooden toothpicks. Put
into COLD iron frying pan and
cook slowly until bacon is crisp,
turning often and pouring off the
fat as it cooks out. Place in a
border around celery in cream
sauce on a large deep platter.
To prepare celery, cook celery
in boiling sailed water until ten

as much as possible. Drain and

The noticeable tendency in re-
cent years towards an informal
dining room is well on it's way into
decline, and the more formal note
is again predominant. With this
better vogue has come the use OF
upholstered chairs for every type
of furniture, whether period. mod
ern or modern classic. Sometimes
the seats only are upholstered. but
often both seats and backs. The
popular finish for such upholstery
Is leather or leather-like mate

The early selling was apparently
a carry-over from yesterday and
also was partly induced by the
reports of rigid Federal regulation
of both stock and commodity
markets.
A rally in the sugar stocks fol.
lowing reports that the President
would present a message to Con.
gress on the sugar situation was
a factor in quieting and firnling
the list.
The utility shares also displayed
a firmer tone following an open.

from the lows. American Water
Works, Columbia Gas and North
American were the particular
targets for selling at the start
and suffered losses running to
nearly 2 points before meeting
with support which lifted them
from their lows.
General Motors and Chrysler
received good support on the scale
down and maintained themselves
within a fraction of their previous
