AuTOAViTANIINosIs

Milk is fairly called ''the most nearly perfect food" It is not a perfect food. For one thing it is too poor in iron. For another, 1t lacks some vitamins which are es- sential in human nutrition, though fresh raw milk contains consider able vitamin A, B, G, and even some c.
 The Karell regimen, half a pint of skim milk every three hours in the day and once at night, which I formerly recommended as a re- duction regimen, is OUT, RE- VOKED, DISCARDED. Whether such a severe diet reduced weight or not, it could not fail to cause avitaminosis. We knew nothing about vitamins in those days: We are only just learning to recognize the signs of vitan1in deficiency in everyday practice.
 When a large deficiency or total lack of a given vitaniin occurs in any one's diet, specific effect is manifest sooner or later. Lack of vitamins or rather the morbid con- dition due to lack of vitamins is called avitaminosis. Avitaminosis- A manifests itself as xerophthal- mia, nightblindness, and poor iu- munity against respiratory infec- tions. Avitaminosis-B B is polyneuri- tis or beri-beri. Avitaminoss-C scurvy. Avitaminosis-D is rickets. Avitaminosis-G is pellagra. Avita- minosis-E is probably loss of re. productive function.
 But partial deficiency of one or more vitamins in our everyday diet is quite common, and the mild avitaminosis so produced is not so easy to recognize. In fact it is gen. erally not recognized at all. At present there is only one way to determine whether a moderate dis turbance of health is avitaminosis, and that is by the therapeutic test giving enough of the vitamin or vitafnins in question and observing whether the trouble is soon cor

rected.
 Physicians can determine by sci. entific tests in any instance whe- ther an individual is suffering from avitaminosis-A or avitaminosis- but such precise tests for the other avitaminoses have not yet been de- vised.
 The casual reader might infer that it is a good plan to take as medicine certain or all of the vita mins, in order to insure agains- any degree of avitaminosis. But there are objections to that. One is that too much Vitamin D, for example, may cause serious dam age, in the way of calcium depos- its in various tissues or organs. Perhaps overdose of other vitamins may be equally harmful.
 A type of avitaminosis that es- capes recognition frequently until the victims condition becomes alarming or some intercurrent ill., ness at last brings the victim un- der medical care, is due to unwise restriction of diet in the attempt to reduce. All of the reduction diets that have been widely publicised in recent years have been faulty in this respect. People who take up such fads and begin following tho freak diet without medical advice, inevitably suffer from autoavita. minosis.
 Then there are many wiseacres who, once they have learned they have duodenal ulcer, colitis, or other chronic condition of the ali- mentary tract, embark on an end- less experiment in dieting without benefit of medicine. These erudite ninyhammers owe much of their neuroticism and general poor health to autoavitaminosis.

 Recently at a parent.teachers meeting a father brought up the subject of ''going out Of the room" lie stated, and rightly, that al- though 1t could not be said that children we're not allowed to leave the room when necessary. usually the practice was discour- aged. Many a child would suffer rather than De embarrassed or hurt by such remarks as "If 1t Is absolutely necessary you may ko," or You should have gone during recess.''
 1t. is discouraged to-day" he declared, almost as much as when was q boy, regardless of the fact that the entire medical prpfession planes the practice for much of the illness and nervous. ness in children. I don't blatns the teachers" he qualified, "be- cause they themselves are regi- inetited under rules as hard aud fast as those govarning~ the chil- dren.
 Teachers' Job at Stake
 Each teacher knows that a stream of children clattering down stairs from her room past the principars office will soon bring an inquiry.

 But the fact remains that many of our children do suffer I ask that the matter be discussed openly tonight"
 He had plenty of seconds among both parents and teachers. One teacher asked what she would do about a boy who Manted out every half hour just to play.
 That couldn't be decided. After all, in every room there Is very small percentage of such children.
 Architect Tells of Problem
 Finally an architect got up. schoolhouse," he stated, II first included toilets for every floor. It was vetoed. I argued that it WOulu 5dN0 tiUlC anu PECVChb biiO up-and-down stairs matter. At that time I spoke of the wisdom of giving each room a five minute recess every hour, or even less, instead of the lorer mid-session rest period. still believe such a custom would overcome the evils we are faced with now"
 It was decided at this meeting to try out his idea of more fre- quent recess periods. My own opinion is that 1t is an excellent idea.
 In the meantime this archaic practice of making children feel like criminals when they must Ego out of the room' will have to be stopped if we can call ourselves humane. Better to have recita- tions disrupted dozens of times a day than to have one child suffer the consequences of waiting too long.
 It accounts for much of the fear of the schoolroom too.
 We should go into the matter thoroughly from the top down. Systems of plumbing, of recess, and permission should be worked out to make all children comfort able.

 II thought" Racine said, "that you might like chance to pool in- formation on this."
 'Sure," said Griff, that's fair enough. You start off. You tell me something, then I'll tell you something"
 That's bargain" Racine said. "Who are you working for?"
 Griff's laugh was almost sarcas- tic. "So that was the way you wanted to pool information, was it Racine ?"
 A smooth running motor slid in- to view, stopped where the side steps of the porch met the drive way. The Cathay chauffeur slid from behind the wheel, opened the rear door of the car and stared steadily at the two men.
 There is,' said Griff musingly, ''sofnething strange about that chauffeur, Racine. Turn around ana take look at him. He wears the livery of a servant but notice the expression on his face. He's evidently very much irritated be- cause we're talking together"
 Racine did not turn, but he straightened abruptly and his tone became formal.

 The two men shook hands.
 Griff went at once to a public telephone, called the office of pr F. Q. Cooper and explained to the nurse that it was quite important that he talk with Doctor Cooper upon personal matter.
 A moment later he heard Doctor Cooper's voice on the wire.
 "This is Griff, Doctor Cooper" he said, 'the criminologist who called on you earlier this morning.
 "Yes," said Doctor Cooper in a tone that was calm and wary. What is it you wish, MT Griff 2"
 T just wanted to tell you" Griff said, that Il have been in com munication with the counsel who is representing Mrs Frank B. Ca thay, and that the Cathays are planning to have you cited before the medical board because of the statements you made concerning the symptoms of MT Frank B. Cathay."
 "Yes?" said Doctor Cooper in the tone of voice one uses in ask ing courteous question.
 Yes" Griff said, and I just lHOuBAts DOCtOE SOOPCI, IAat AL q post-mortem should disclose that your diagnosis, was correct and that of Doctor Amstead incorrect, 1t might go long ways toward eliminating the necessity for any defense upon your part"
 Griff ceased talking and held the telephone to his ear. For a mo- ment there was only the buzxing noise of the wire. Then Doctor Cooper's voice said in the same cautious. thoughtful tone, Thank you"
 There was a click at the end of the line.
 Griff slipped the receiver back on it's hook.
 Sidney Griffs taxicab deposited him at the wide entrance to the Cathay mansion. Griff inspected the well kept grounds, the huge building which, despite it's magni- tude, seemed to. blend into the grounds with such perfect har- mony. The building looked as though it might have grown there:
 You want me to wait?" asked the cab driver.
 "Yes," Griff said, and started up the long cement walk which led from the ornamental wrought-iron gate to the porch on the front of the house.

 Lois Moran, smiling and happy, wore Robe de Style of shimmer- ing white taffcta. The skirt was full and believing. The unusual bodice crossed in front, was draped around the shoulders to give the popular off-the-shoulder effect and tied in a bow at the back. Long white gloves and fresh purple orchids completed her ensemble.
 Benita Hume, an English screen actress, looked perfectly lovely in a fascinating evening gown of white crepe with candy-s striped taffeta bow on the bodice. The bow was stitched down to form part of the decollete. It matched a hip-length evening jacket witt, pert little bow of self material tied under the chin.

JUDGE QUINN Gets
REPLY TOLETTER
Sent PRESIDENT
CHIEF EXECUTIVE REPLIES
TO QUESTION THROUGH
SECRETARY RELATIVE TO
WORKING CONDITIONS

Judge Hugh Gum is in receipt
of reply to a communication sent
originally to President Roosevelt,
relative to working conditions in
Key West, which was referred to
the Civil Works Administration.
In his communication to the
presidents Judge Gum stressed the
necessity of work in Monroe coun-
ty and asked if it would not be
possible to have a larger number
of men assigned in this section of
Florida.
The president replied, through
his secretary, advising he had re-
ferred the matter to the CWA of
ficials for reply and that received
today is from Bruce Mcclure, sec
rotary of the CWA in Washing
ton.
It sets forth that in many COM
munities Civil Works projects do
not absorb all of the unemployed
persons in those communities, but
relief officers are continuing to
function for the assistance of
those needy for whom employ
ment. either on public works or
in private industry, is not pro-
vided.
I'VE are unable to give you full
Information at this time on the
new program. Within the next
few days rules and regulations
governing the activities under the
new appropriation will be made.
When they are available we will
be glad to inform you of the ap-
phcation of these regulations to
the situation in your community.
As this matter comes under the
jurisdiction of your State Federal
Civil Works Administration, p. O.
Box 9O4, Tallahassee, Fla, ''we
are referring your communication
to that office for consideration"
The letter concludes with an APP
probation of the spirit of helpful
ness and cooperation with the adj
ministration as evidenced by the
judges communication.

the subject of an assassina-

the meanwhile closely scan
ned the Austrian situation
which they considered to be
fraught with danger to
European tranquility, cs-
pecially should the Nazis

MARY ELECTION
Especial to The Citizen

TALLAHASSEE, Fla, Feb. 16.
Claude Pepper, of the Tallahas-
see law firm of Waller and Pep

dacy for the United States senate
in succession to Senator Park
Trammel, whose present term ex-
pires January 3, next. Mr.. Pepper
declares that he will within a
short time present his statement
of views.
Mr.. Pepper is a former menu

to be one of the states most eff
fective speakers, reputation
gained largely through his per-
Torrance as a member of the
house and through his response
to many invitations to speak at va

throughout the state. Mr.. Peppers
announcement stresses the point
that he is in the contest to the end.
asserting that he will conduct a
vigorous campaign. He plans to
devote his full time to it once his
speaking tour begins.
In making his announcement he
states:
81 am a candidate, subject to
the Democratic primary June 9Th,
for the seat in the United States
senate to become vacant January
3rd next upon the expiration of
the present term of Honorable
Park Trammell.
81 am definitely in the contest
to the end. This conclusion has
not been arrived at hastily but
only after the most serious con-
sideration. I am frank to say
that my decision has been influ-
enced largely by the sentiment of
our people which demands that a
candidate be free of reactionary
tendencies and have a point of
view boldly in sympathy with the
new deal. Multiplying assurances
of support have convinced me that
Florida is ready and eager to make
a change.
II firmly believe that the peo-
pie viii rally to the support of
that candidate who has the cour-
age and the capacity to represent
Florida constructively and aggres-
sively. These trying times de-
mand positive thought and action
and the courage to face squareiy
the problems which still threaten
our very existence. There is no

or any other public office. today
for a policy of negatiOn.
