VITAMINS

do white cabbage and hard heads
OF iceberg lettuce contain as many Wit
amins as the green vegetables" asks
a puzzled housekeeper.
No, the green vegetables are richer
in vitamins than the white. 1t is prob
ably due to the c~hlorophyl or coloring
matter. When this is bleachod out OF
celery, asparagus or n other vege-
table, it is rendered less useful to the
body.
Until modern knowledge revealed
the reason for eating greens, people
consumed them in the spring because
they had an idea that they did some
thing to the blood hat was helpful,
and somehow purifSd the system. At
any rate. they craved greens and felt
better when they ate them. Then, too,
they helped the bowels to move, and
provided variety in the diet.
Now we know that green leaves art
a rich source of vitamins A, B, and c,
all of which are necessary to nutritive
well-being. The sunshine is the factor
that manufactures the color. The dry
seeds are poor sources of vitamin A.
The green shoots that are sent up from
the seeds are much richer in it. Greer,
,abbage contains more vitamin A than
white cabbage.
The green water plants of the ocean
are sources of abundant supplies OF
vitamin A. That is why so much of it
is found in cod liver oil. Vegetable iron
is now made by extracting it from
spinach and other green's. 1t is easier
to assimilate, for it is organic instead
Of inorganic iron.
THE relationship between the Wit
amin A content of such familiar ed
IDLE plant tissues as lettuce and aspar-
agus and their degree of greenness
that has been cogently demonstrated
by Crist and Dye at the Michigan Ag-
ricultural Experiment Station in East
Lansing. Their Investigations have
dealt with the effects of light of vari-
GUS qualities. By the selection of suit
able glasses, acting as light filters of
different %potencies, it has peen possible

asparagus shoots of the same age, I'M
der comparable environmental condi-
TONS" The analysis showed that the
asparagus that contained the largest
amount of ~chlorophyl, that is, the one
that was the g%reenest, possessed the
greatest amounts of nutritive vitamins.
The coloring matter in vegetables is
said to be rich in vitamins. Prof. La
fayette B. Mendel Sterling, professor
of physiological chemistry at Yale,
says that recent experiments have
shown that yellow vegetables such as
carrots, yellow turnips, yellow corn
and sweet potatoes abound in import
ant vitamins which are found in butter
and cod liver oil"
1t seems as though these vegetables
might be used as a substitute for cod
liver oil in the diet of children.
Strained, they would be more appel
izing and palatable. We see that even
the white corn meal and potatoes are
not so rich in nutrition as the yellow.
The yellow color is impaired to butter
by the green grass, and it is the chlor-
ophyl in that which is the vegetable
analogue of hemoglobin in flesh foods.
ALI these colors are manufactured in
the laboratory of nature, through the
action of sunshine on the chemicals in
the soil. The more we learn about nu-
triton the more wonderful it becomes.

Trade and the Bonus

Distribution of the soldiers bonus will begin in less
than two months and about 81, 70O,0OO,000 will be avail
able in cash if the ex-service men and women desire it.
This is some dollars. They make quite a splash in the
business world and many experts expect trade to i'm
prove in response to the stimulus. Already hopeful sales
men are planning determined assaults upon the recip-
tents and manufacturers of motor cars, and like neces-
sites, are buoyant.
Sheridan county will receive its share of the flood of
cash and participate in the business that results. In the
fight for trade many of those who get their bonus money
will be over-persuaded to buy, with the result that some
of them will acquire a headache. Every individual should
be on guard and make good use of the money that is
received.

NEWSPAPERS OPINION
HOW ONE TOWN EXPANDED INTO A
TRADE CENTER

We have in mind certain town in North Carolina
which we have watched for quarter of century.
Twenty years ago it was no better town than
Mocksville is today. 1t was then being bled white
bv Charlotte, Concord and Salisbury. The mer-
chants had never learned to use the local news
paper as an advertising medium. The newspaper,
which was small weekly, hardly ever carried more
than two OF three pages of advertising. Then an
AGGRESSIVE publisher bought out the paper and
started boosting that town as good place to live
and good place to trade. Merchants started ad-
vertisine more freely. To make long story
short within ten years that town was one of the
most thriving of the states smaller cities and today
the local paper which has grown from four page
weekly to a sem-weekly, carries from ten to TWEEN
Nv napes of advertising each week, and it is mostly
bought and paid for by local merchants banks and
other business organizations and private business
establishments
The town we have just been speaking of is to-
day not worrying about what Charlotte, and Con-
cord and Salisbury are going to do with it. The
merchants enjoy good business, the TOWN HAS
BECOME A TRADING CENTER. The people OF
the trading territory of that town know that they
can INV what they want there and at prices as low
as those prevailing in any other city or town for
the same goods RESULTS: practically hundred
per cent of the businesses survived the depression
and are now prosperous. Not a single bank failure
during the depression occurred in that town. The
two banks which were closed when all others were
nv order of the government, reopenng for business
with the very first to reopen in the state and ma
ton. Mr. Mocksvile merchant, Mr.. Mocksvlle
bankers and Mr.. Mocksville real estate owners this
is food for your serious 1886 consideration. We

Germany, flushed with aggressive

The party platform is a time

though such pledges are more us
ually broken than kept, the vOt-
ers always fall for them and
swallow them with child-like cred

platforms with the deliberate in
tention Of running on them, but
of not standing on them; while
other candidates honestly pledge
themselves to do things which lat
er they find they can not do OF
should not do.
Then what should a candidate
promise the voters when he asks
them for their support?
This, l think, should be his
simple pledge:

More than 1000 permits have been revoked since
the drivers lcerse law went into effect in North
Carolina last November, than SO per cent fol-
lowing conviction on charges of driving while
drunk according to the records of the states motor
vehicle division. This list offenders whose drir-

This is type of publicity offenders do not covet.
Within itself it should prove deterrent to drunk

If North Cardinals laws governing operation OF
cars permits publishing the of offenders who
have their licenses revoked, why not in the name

such a provision in the existing law? Such in

NO RACING IN STATE

We are not prepared to shed tears over the news
from Columbia that there is little chance of the
passing of bill to establish racing commission
and leagze pari-mutuel betting in South Carolina
by the legislature. South Carolinians have no
money to lose in betting upon horse races and those
who patronize the tracks long enough generally
lose.
The racing of horses is fine sport yet it is not
popular as a sport but as means of gambling.
There would be no tracks in the United States l.
betting were prohibited. Moreover, racing as we
have it in the United States, is crooked game.
Not all owners and jockeys are crooked. The ma
jority of them may be described as being ION the
level" but there are enough dishonest owners,
stabemen, jockeys and hangers-on to spoil the
sport The man who bets his money never knows
that the horse he backs will not be "pulled' or
"doped" or otherwise be incapacitated for doing It's
best in the
South Carolina will gain nothing by licensing

tracks in the state will bring to them floating ee-
ment of race track followers that may spend
money during the racing season but which Will

YCOtN" HARVEY is DEAD

Citizens fifty years of age ana more
have their thoughts turned back to the
last decade of the nineteenth century oy
the death in Arkansas of William II. Har-
vey, one of the most talked about men IN
this country in 1896 and for several years
thereafter. Harvey will be best remem-
bered by the "old timers" as Coin Har-
vev. He was put forward by his friends
rs an authority on money, and came INTO
his greatest measure of prominence IN the
national political campaign in 1896, whleh
is still spoken of some. times as the Bryan
campaign" History records tn taet'
which the .'old timers" also remember, that
this was the year of the first candidacy OF
William ]. Bryan for the presidency.
William H. Harvey was bi-metallst, a
supporter of the ''free silver policies OF
BRYAN and his silver Democrats. He was
tne author of a book, Coins Financial
School," which may be said to have been
ihe textbook of the Democratic campaign
in 1896. 1t was read everywhere, by both
silver and gold money partisans, and pre-
sented some of the leading arguments OF
the bi-metalists. Controversy ragged around
the book and the views of Harvey to an eN-
tent almost as great as that waged about
the usual party issues involved in the CAM
paign.
William H. Harvey was native OF West
Virginia. At the age of IS years he has
passed away at his Arkansas home, Zig
ure unknown to the younger generations
of American citizens, man who has, per-
haps, been forgotten by many contempor-
airy citizens, but man who played big
part in the stirring economic and political
discussions and contests of the gay Nine
ties

Mr.. HOEY'S SPEECH

Listened to Clyde Hoey's opening campaign
speech over the radio last Thursday night. Mr.
Hoey wants to be North Cardinals next governor,
and it is quite possible that he will be elected to
that position.
What 1 gathered from the speech was that Mr..
Hoey would sponsor no sales tax, wants no higher
tax real estate and automobile license plates are
too high. He favors old-age pensions.
He wants more and better schools and roads, and
would have the deaf, dumb, blind and insane well
cared for. Is against kker but, ifthe people want
it, that's their lookout.
Mr.. Hoey's speech was good one. But in no
way different from other asprants to office Lower
taxes favored; everyone cared for, includin'
the farmer, merchant, teacher and manufacturer.
All of which we hear every election year, from,
constable to governor who serve the dear peepuL-

ICKES AND TALMADGE

As an Indication of the extent to when
political party lines are breaking up under
the stress Of present conditions, we cite as
an example the appearance yesterday OF
Secretary IcRes and Governor, Talmadge as

Springfield, Illinois.
Both speakers delivered tribute to Lin
coin, but they part company when it comes
to endorsedhen of President Roosevelt

In this connection it is also interesting
to note and record that Secretary lckes re-
fused the request of the newspaper photo
graphers to pose with Governor Talmadge
for a photograph. The Georgia Governor
agreed to the proposal, but Secretary lckes
emphatically declined. The Secretary Is
not to be criticised for his attitude, If Tai
madge is the grand rascal he has been
branded by Ickes. If the Ickes estimate OF
Talmadge is correct, he is hardly fit per-
Sun for association with. the eminent and
spotless Republican member of what is al
legged to be Democratic cabinet. However,
and of course, there IS vast difference OF
opinion, in Georgia and throughout the
country, on the subject of both Talmadge
