Functions Of Vitamin G

Functions Of Vitamin G
The full Importance of includ-
ing an adequate supply of vitamin
erich foods in the diet can only
be fully appreciated when the
amazing functions of this anti
scorbutic vitamin are fully un-
derStood.
Long years before the first vita
min had been discovered, and
when the science of nutrition was
still in its infancy, English physi-
clans observed that the use of or
ange juice would help to cure chill
dren of a serious disease charac-
teriZed by a sallOw, pale complex
ion, fiabby muscles, and painful
Inflammation of the membrane
surrounding the bones of the legs.
And as early as 1895 it was also
discovered that British sailors
could be prevented from develop
ing the painful and serious dis
ease of scurvy if they were given
a regular ration of lemon juice.
which had been evaporated to a
syrup. 1t was because lemon, then
called lime, juice was invariably
prescribed for the navy that Brit
ish sailors came to be known as
"limies," term which is still in
use today.
Scurvy d Comfortable Disease
Scurvy was thus prevented or
cured in both children and adults,
long before scientists learned that
precious vitamin C is the control
ling factor in this disease. And
shortly after the turn of the CEN
tury a systematic study was be-
gun by scientists in both Europe
and America to discover all the
foods that possessed the almost
magical power to prevent and
cure this former scOurge of man
kind.
In the course of many painstak-
ing Investigations and brilliant
discoveries, we have gradually in
creased our knowledge of scurvy
until today We know that the sub
stance which prevents the disease
is vitamin c.
May Retard Growth in Children
1t has also been noted that
many cases of latent scurvy can
be found among children and
adults in all walks of life. 1t has
been determined, for example,
that many children who are rest
less, irritable, or retarded in
growth are in reality suffering
from deficiency of vitamin c.
When deprived of this vitamin,
experimental animals develop
swollen, tender joints, sore jaws
and spongy, bleeding gums, while
the teeth become loosened and as
sumo irregular positions. Hemor-
rhages may occur almost any
where in the body, due to capil-
larry weakness, and are particu-
larly common in the kidneys, in
testines, bone marrow, under the
skin, in the muscles and adrenal
glands. Indeed, one of the most
interesting of all the discoveries
concerning vitamin G was made
with guinea pigs. 1t was observed
that in a healthy animal, the adre-
nal glands are rich in vitamin c,

Moving

The first of May is known moving day.
It's been thus for years and those who stay
just still give the landlord his monthly pay.
Saving the moving charges they would like to hide away
real day of work and everyone helps
To gather up bric-a-brac in attic shells
That you just hate to throw away
Because you do you'll find for them day.
Years ago horses pulled large van,
That took all your possessions small things in can
Were tucked and pushed in every bare,
So you couldn't get any more in if you dared.
The dishes and glasses wrapped with infinite care
So they would not rub as much hair,
For real care in packing a chore,
So that by night you felt the core.
Now auto trucks take your moving loads,
On cement highways dirt street roads,
Much faster and hold by far
Than the old before the auto car

BRADD0CK FORM CUTS ODDS TO
 g. QUOTATION
Farr Still Favored to Halt Second Comeback of
 Ex=ChampiOn
BY HENRY SUPPER
l;ited Press Staff Correspondent


 New York, Jan. 20-(UP)-James J. Braddock, the Cinderella Man" of the prize ring, hits the comeback trail again tomorrow night but odds are at least million to one against his ever regaining the heavyweight title.
 Others have tried before--Corbett, Jeffries, Willard and Dempsey and all fallen short of the goal. Nevertheless, Braddock still thinks his fighting weapons are sharp for the crown, and he will test them enough to keep him in the running against Tommy Farr, the rugged Welshman.
 Surprise
 Less than four years ago, when he was 28 and considered a "has been," Braddock launched come back that whirled him from relief rolls to the championship. He hasn't had fight since last June P when he was knocked out by Joe Louis.
 Farr, eight years Braddock's junior, also has been idle since he faced Louis. That was last August when "Tonypandy" Tommy amazed everyone by staying 15 rounds with the champion in Louis first defense.
 The betting adds favor Farr by about 8-5. They were 11-5 but drop ped sharply when Braddock began to show good form in workouts late last week. The winner is scheduled to meet former champion Max Baer on March II, although both already have registered victor ies over MaXie.
 To both men tomorrow's battle marks crossroads in their careers. Braddock, if he loses, definitely will quit the ring. Farr, because he is the favorite and because he has youth on his side, must win if he hopes to fulfill his dream of fin ancial security.
