APPETITE AND METABoLIsM

APPETITE AND METAB0LISM
 Everybody but the doctor knows what appetite is. Metaboiism is the chemical process of life.
 Best and Tayior's Physiological Basis of Medical Practice" (Wm. Wood & O., 1s3D says:
 "Loss of appetite Is an early and specific effect of vitamin B deficien- cy, being evident some time before the appearance of polyDeuritis. :. It is probable that the anorexia Gloss of appetite) Is, in part at least, sec ondary to a relaxed state of the gastro- intestinal musculature (mus- cle coat of stomach and boweD, the suppression of the digestive secre.. tions (stomach and pancreas), ana the reduction in motor activity Cf the gastro-i intestinal tract which have been shown by Cowgirl and as- sociates to be important features of yitamin B deficiency. McCarri- son produced atony (fiabbiness) and deReneration of the mucous mem- brane of the colon in monkeys py feeding diets lacking in vitamin B but of high carbohydrate (starcn and sugar. content. ." .
 Such a diet Is the popular diet or large portion of the population m this country today.
 "The investigation of Fletcher and Graham indicate 8 relationship pc. tween the atony and dilatation or the colon resulting from vitamin B deficiency and arthritic conditions. It Is probable that in many diets which are assumed to be ade" uuate the vitamin B content IS De. low the optimal level, and that castro intestinal ahnormalities are not uncommonly the result Of mild grades of deficiency of this vitamin.
 In a group of 60 patients with chronic arthritis there was evidence of atony of the colon in 66 per cent and @ number of these showed pro- nounced dilatation of the colon.
 Many overweight individuals have an abnormally high tolerance for carbohydrate (starches and sugars) and their efforts to reduce by dieting are defeated by periodic gorges, due to intense craving for such food. Their carbohydrate metabolism IS faulty; they are incapable of utiliz- Ing carbohydrate normally, some- what in the same way as with dia- betic patients. Progressive physi. clans find that if the diet is supple mented with optimal daily rations of yitamins, these patients are able to metabolize or burn carbohydrate more efsiciently and do not suffer from periods of craving nor go on periods of craving nor go on periodic carbohydrate sprees. Vitamin B IS uerhars the most essential, but the daily supplementary ration should include also vitamin c, vitamin D and vitamin o.
 Whatever the medical authorities thought about 1t two or three years ago. there Is now sound physiologic foundation for the concept that the yitamin deficiency in the everyday diet of most Americans is Q factor in the development of obesity. whether the disturbance of meta bollgm due to vitamin deficiency IS associated with loss of appetite Gas 1t Is in extreme vitasnin B deficien- cy) or with abnormal craving for carbohydrate (ss in less extreme B deficiency), the treatment or diet most plkeiy to prove successful must include ari adequate daily intake of yitamins. In other words supple menting the ordinary diet with vita-

WARDROBE ECONOMY

It's economy to plan your ward- robe around one color idea. A dress that is too extreme or of a color which is at odds with the rest of your wardrobe is apt to hang in the closet most of the season. Trick trimmings, odd buckles, belts and buttons often @make" the dress, but be sure they are of good quality that will stand up under plenty of wear and will not be ruined by the first laundering or cleaning.
