WHAT to EAT and WHY

cessive dryness of the eyeball,
has long been known to be caused
by a vitamin A deficiency. It Is
also well known that liberal
amount Of this vitamin will pre-
vent that serious disease and will
even effect cure where destruc-
ton of the cornea has not pro-
crossed too far. st 81! al
This suggests the tremendous
Importance of including in the diet
foods rich in vitamin A-cod- and
other fish-liver oils; milk and 9TH
er dairy products; green leafy and
yellow vegetables; and egg yolk.
Experiments with rats, whose
dietary requirements are similar
to those of man, show a close
connection between cataract and a
deficiency of another vitamin-vi-
tamin G. This is found most album
dainty in meat, milk, eggs. fruit
and vegetables.
We're she concerned about pro-
tecting the blessing of good eye
sight alone, that would be suffi-
cient reason why every homemak-
er should plan meals that are rich
in vitamins. But it is not only
the eyes which are dependent
upon vitamins, for they have
many other functions to perform.
An improper diet may cause
people to drive automobiles blind
ly at night SO that they are dam
gerous not only to themselves and
their passengers, but to everyone
on the streets and roads. A de-
ficient diet will also send them
through life with half-efficient bod
les, half-efficient brains, half-effi-
cient senses. lla
That is why urge you to
learn everything you can about
food, SO that in planning meals
you will not only feed your eyes,
your husbands eyes and your chill
dren's eyes, but will take advan-
tage of the wonderful discoveries
of nutritiOnal science to make ev-
cry member of the family SO eff
cient that they will enjoy the best
of health each day of their lives.

Niohf Blindness Explained

For example, it has been estab-
ished that there is a definite re-
lation between your vision and the
vitamins in your diet; between
your ability to drive a car safely
at night, and the amount of vita
min A-containing foods that you
consume.
To understand this astonishing
fact, it is necessary to know that
vision under faint illumination is
accomplished by means of chemi-
cal changes in the pigment at the
back of the eye. This is known as
the "visual purple" of the retina
and one of it's important compo-
nents is carotene, which is the &C.
tive form of vitamin A.
The visual purple might be COM
pared to the film in a camera
When you are in dim light and
the eyes are suddenly exposed tc
bright light, the visual purple is
greatly reduced or bleached. This
change results in a stimulation Of
the optic nerve and enables you tc
see clearly.
When an adequate supply of vi.
tamin A is present in the body,
the visual purple is rapidly re.
generated. But when the supply
is inadequate, a much longer pc
riod elapses before the corrective
chemical change takes place. Dur
ing the intervening time, many
people find it difficult to see.
That is the. condition known as
might blindness" And it accounts
for the fact that a large proper.

ficiency disease are first blinded

selves after the Oncoming car has
passed. Their ability to drive
safely is subsequently impaired
for they cannot clearly see the
road ahead, and they may miss
dangerous curves, pedestrians OF
other vehicles.

longed dietary indiscretions may
be at the root of the trouble. But
it never occurs to them that what
they eat may affect the eyes just
as profoundly as it affects the in
ternal organs.
1t is not uncommon, during an
attack of biliousness, to suffer a
disturbance of the vision. But that
disturbance usually disappears
with the disorder that caused it.
On the other hand, a deficient diet
may produce eye troubles that
have a far reaching effect upon
health, efficiency, and even per-
sOnal safety.

Coconuts Form Rafts

Tall coconut trees on the Philip
pine islands produce nuts which go
into RATS. The RATS are poled down
small streams and rivers until a
dock is reached where a freight
steamer is at anchor. Then the
nuts are placed aboard and taken
to other parts of the world.

Children Often Victims

Since the discovery of the close
connection between vitamin A and
the ability to see in dim light, sci
entists have tested large numbers
of school children to determine
whether vitamin A was present in
their diet in adequate amounts.
It was revealed that from rs to 10
per cent of the children examined
had incipient night blindness.
The same deplorable conditions

A Common Complaint

Unfortunately, the prevalence of
night blindness is not generally
recognized. though it is held that
urban jewellers are more conscious
of it than those living in the rural
areas. This is borne out by the
fact that ocular disorders from vi
tamin deficiency are less common
in urban than i'm rural areas.

The most important tool of the
early miners was the hammerstone

shaped boulders, vary in weight up
to over 40 pounds. Nearly all the
mauls had a groove, undoubtedly
meant for attachment or handles by
means of thongs or crotches.

A SIGNIFICANT Experiment

An even more striking example
of the power Of food to affect the
eyesight is to be found in the re-
port of an experiment in which
breeding sows were given food in
abundance but lacking vitamin A
for 100 days before and for 80
days after breeding. In three lit
tiers of IS pigs, all were blind. In
another litter of IA pigs, all were
sightless. But under normal feed
ing, the same animals produced
filters of pigs with normal eyes
and vision. This experiment justi-
fies the conclusion of one of our
most noted food scientists, that
the deficiency of essential food ele-
ments may SO alter vital processes
that even prenatal changes may
occur.
