THREE THOUSAND UNITS or
V1TAMIN A

Nutrition authorities estimate
that infant, growing child or adult
requires 100 units Of vitamill A for
each 100 calories Of food consumed.
That would mean the vitamil1 A RAJ
ton for q six months old infant
would be perhaps $50 units; for q
six years old child 1900 units, for
an adult doing light work, 5000
units daily.
A quart Of milk contains over
1000 units Of vitannin A. An ounce
Of escarole contains 5000 units OF
yitaE,in A. An ounce Of tomato,
raw or canned, or Of tomato juice
raw or canned contains ITO units.
An ounce Of cream cheese contains
l,400 units, az, ounce Of American
cheese TOO units. An ounce Of but
ter contains l,4o0 units. An ounce
Of liver contains $500 units. One
ounce Of carrot contains $40 units.
One ounce Of prunes 800 units
Evaporated milk. condensed milk
both contain more than twice as
much vitamin A as fresh milk.
Dried milk contains more than
twice as much as evaporated or
condensed milk, 500 units per ounce.
Banana, sweet potato, string beans,
cantaloupe, kidney, dates, lettuce
spinach raw or canned, green,
canned or dried peas, egg yolk, Ro-
maine lettuce, brussels sprouts,
green's, turnip greens. water cress
dandelion greens, parsley, mint
nasturtium, alfalfa, are all good
sources of vitamin A.
Unless the diet is severely re-
stricted it does not seem likely
that any one in this country should
suffer from vitamil A deficiency.
Night-blindness. the most del
icate index of vitamin A deficiency
Is rare in this country, according u
a survey made by Drs. Hess, LeWil
and Barenberg. They also studiet
the alleged value Of vitamin A fol
preventing respiratory infections
and concluded there is no clinica
basis for regarding vitamin A al
anti-infective.

such q womanless feast will do it

What do the "brutes" want? Wait

Nelson Eddy Is famous for his stag

one Of Mr.. Eddy,s 'dinenrs at eight"
Is rated among the male stars OF
Hollywood almost as highly as bid
