Effect on Digestion and Nerves

Laboratory experiments have
also indicated that when there is
a shortage of vitamin G, digestion
is usually impaired. In this re-
spect, shortage Of vitamin G has
a slightly different effect than a
deficiency Of vitamin B. A def
mite lack of vitamin B causes an
abrupt and complete loss of appe-
tite. Withholding vitamin G APP
pears to affect the desire for food.
so that experimental animals con-
sumo only about two-thirds as
much as they would normally
take.
A form Of nervous depression
may occur when the diet is low in
vitamin G for any protracted
length Of time. Other unfortunate
consequences may be a decline in
the health Of the skin. Studies
with animals indicated that when
the vitamin was withheld, not
only did loss Of weight occur,
but there were other signs Of nu-
tritional failure. These included
an Inflammation of the mouth, a
loss Of hair, a thickening and in
some cases, a cracking and seal
ing, of the skin.

Questions Answered

Mrs. G. M. 1.-THE term, water
balance, about which you inquired
is used to describe the situation
in which the available water from
food, beverages, and that manu-
featured in the body equals that
of the water excreted or lost from
the body. It is to help keep the
body in water balance that the
daily diet must contain adequate
amounts of fluids.
E. G. M. Jr.-Yes, it is true that
approximately one-third of the
protein required during infancy is
stored by the child's body to take
care of growth and development.
AS children grow older, the
amount of protein, stored for
growth gradually decreases until
they become adults.

Sources Of vi+amin 6

Because vitarnin G is closely as
ISOLATED with vitamin B, some
homemakers occasionally confuse
the two. This is not surprising,
inasmuch as it was some years
following the initial recognition Of
vitannin B that scientists estab-
lished beyond doubt that there
was more than one growth-pro-
noting vitamin. Subsequently,
they learned that while the SUBJ
stance, later named vitamin G.,
was frequently found in close as
sociation with vitamin B, such
was not always the case. For ex-
ample, vitamin G is known to oc-
cur without vitanin B in egg
white.

WHAT to EAT and WHY

teresting to note that the vitamin
is formed during the growth Of the
plant and decreases with matur-
ity. The amount Of the vitainin
has been found to vary with differ
ent parts of the same plant. In
broccoli, the flower buds are said
to contain only half as much as
the leaves, while the stems con-
tain even less. Among the green's,
turnip tops and beet tops have
been found to be unusually rich.
Investigations indicate that weight
for weight, they are twice as rich
as eggs, though eggs are consid-
cred a good source.
Homemakers will be glad to
learn that heating does not appear
to destroy vitamin G. Canned
foods are therefore as good a
source as though they had not
been processed. s#.
Milk must not be overlooked.
For all practical purposes, and
chiefly because of the amounts in
which it is consumed, it is proba-
bly, our most important source Of
the G vitamin. -4--s- ~
One thing is certain. Home
makers should strive-not for
diets that are merely adequate in
vitamin G but for surplus
to help build high resistance. One
authority has advised ration that
contains four times the amount
considered absolutely necessary.
The surplus should help to pro-
vide headstart toward the goal
of buOvant health. Il

cate that vitamin G has a pro-

with experimental animals that a

Whose Field Is This Anyway?

Whose Field Is This Anyway?
 Article here recently told of the relief afforded by tengraln doses of potassium chloride in water, three times daily; In many common ailments due to allergy, such as hay fever eczema, recurring hives, giant hives, chronic sinusitis, per. iodic sick headache (migraine), at. tacks Of asthma, hyperesthetic rhin- itis or sudden stufiineSS and water ing at the nose without rhyme or reason. Often considerable relief Is felt within an hour after the first dose. The remedy is comparatively harmless for any one to take. It is nearly tasteleSs If taken dissolved in plenty of water---a glaSSful. Most sufferers take 1t for several days at q time, at intervals, aS they need it. It cures nothing, merely brings symptomatic relief. PhySiolosists find that potassium chloride has an ef- feet Strikingly similar to that of epinephrlne (adrenalin) or that "ef. fects attributed to epinephrlne are actually the effects produced by DO. tassiun migration which epine- phrino causes'-that is, epinephrino liberates potassium from the tissues and when the tissues arc sufficient ly depleted Of potassium epinephrine can no longer relieve the symp" toms of allergy. It seems fair to conclude that potassium chloride complements or gu . dement's the action of ndrenalin, and that If ad. renalin gives any relief at all potaS. sium chloride should prolong the effect or perhaps maintain it with. out the aid of adrenalin.
 One reader took that article as his text for this gentle remon- strance:

 Tn the first place, ten grains of potassium chloride dissolved in Q glaSsful of water, three times daily, is scarcely . sal quantity. It is Q fair average dose.
