Important Reports Are Re-

ATLANTA, Ga, Aug. 22.-Canned
salmon occupies the center Of the
stage at the National Convention
of the American Pharmaceutical
Association here as two Pacific
Northwest scientists told druggists
and drug manufacturers of their
studies of the vitamin potencies of
salmon oil
The reports were delivered by DR.
Louis Fischer, assistant professor
of pharmacy at the University of
Washington and by Arthur w.
Steers, holder OF the Fairehild
graduate scholarship in pharmacy
at the same institution.
The outstanding finding report
ed at the opening days meeting
was the extremely high standing
of salmon oil or canned salmon as
a source of vitamin ID. In a paper
delivered by Mr.. Steers, the two
scientists described their researches
which have included biological as
says of the vitamin content of SAL
mon oil poured out of the can, and
of the full oil content of the SAL

was fairly good but constitutes only
40 percent of Russia's. production.
The spring wheat is thought to have
been damaged by the June hot spell.
AS for the rest of Europe: Po-
land expects good yield of rye, her
big crop, sufficient for domestic
consumption; Rumania probably will
have 80 million bushels of wheat to
export of an estimated yield of IA
million; Hungary will have 18 of
los Million. Bulgaria and Yugo-
slavia are slated for an average re-
turn sufficient for their own needs;
and Spain has contracted for APP
proximately IL million bushels from
the Argentine to compensate for a
20 percent below average crop as a
consequence of the war.

ARNOLD MEN DIED
Al OF EXPOSURE; NOT
DROWNING

+ Andrew Gunderson, representative
of New England Fisheries from Sc
attic, issued a statement correcting
the impression that the three men
who lost their lives in the swapping
of the 0. M. Arnold, had drowned.
Mr.. Gunderson said that the coron-
er's verdict, not made available until
late yesterday afternoon, clearly
stated that all three men had died
from exposure.
Meanwhile Otto Wage, one of the
two members of the crew who live
in Juneau-the other was Ernest
Krause, the cook, who died-waS dis

where he had been sent for heat

LONDON, Aug. %. = To-day
armies have the deadliest weapons
in history-as effective one time OF
year as another. But the men who
use them must eat.
That's one big reason why expert
strategists pick INSTRUMENTATION
the wheat crop will be in hand
throughout most of Europe-as the
time when a new crisis, if one is
coming, is likely to develop.
For after the harvest is gathered,
the nations breadbaskets are re-
plenished and the farmers are
free to fight. This is still a vital
item despite the fact that every
government that can manage is
laying in huge security stocks"
Barring last minute complica-
lions, it looks like an average or
better yield in most of Europe this
year
What does that mean? =
In England, where an average
crop of about SO million bushels is
expected, it means importing four
fifths of her domestic needs. That
is why it is imperative for Britain
to retain the mastery of the seas.
Nazis Work Fast
In Germany, prospects of a good
average return assure her of nearly
enough wheat to feed the popula-
lions of the original Reich and of
the new additions. Germany can get
what additional she needs easily so
long as she maintains her grip in
the Danube basin.
Right now the time element is
her principal preoccupation. Ham
pered by an acute labor shortage in
her anxiety to gather the harvest as
quickly as possible, she has pressed
into service thousands of the Hitler
youth and foreign workmen. She
has brought $1,000 farm hands from
Italy, $1,000 from Yugoslavia, 10000
from Hungary, 10000 from Slovakia.
Italy, according to the official esq
innate of 294 million bushels, is
winning her Battle of Wheat" for
self-sufficiency and won't need to
import any wheat unless she wishes
to increase her reserve. The trade,
however puts $50 million bushels as
a nearer right" figure.
France should have a surplus, all
though private forecasts of 294 mill
lion bushels would mean scarcely
better than an average year. The
surplus comes from 70-odd million
bushels left over from last years
bumper crop and from the 1889
North African yield of 102 million
bushels-40 percent above last years.
War Supplies Are Big
The Big -Four of western Europe
all have acquired large war stocks
since wheat became po-
litical weapon as we'll as the staff
of life.
England, Germany and Italy, for
example, bought heavily of Ru-
mania's bumper crop last year.
aim was to prevent the
Nazis from making an economic
prisoner" of Rumania. 4
Germany, too. is stretching her
supply by mixing 10 percent rye and
potato flour with the wheat.
Russia, as usual. is a question
mark. 1t is uncertain whether she
has any war reserve or whether this
years crop will provide for, domes-
tic requirements as an ordinary crop

mon extracted by the use of ether
Vitamin ID Value
Discussing the vitamin ID value
of canned salmon, Steers said
THE results of the vitamin d as
says show that the free oil con-
tains 30 units and the extracted
oil 83 units of vitamin ID per gram
This compares very favorabiy with
cod liver oil.
Canned salmon is therefore a
very valuable source of this Vita
min. The difference between the
vitamin ID values of the two oils
does not seem to be sinificant."
Studies of the salmon oils for
vitamin A content revealed that
although the salmon oil was not
an outstanding source of this Vita
min as compared with cod liver
oil, vitamin A is present in sig
nificant amounts in canned SAL
mon.
Samples Selected

ing samples for the biological as

salmon, DIR. Fischer explained that

Fischer explained For each sample
used in the feeding tests, Oil from

bic portion of ten fish was used.
Scores of white rates were raised
for the vitamin determinations.

Cites Drop in Some
tuberculosis Cases

where more rigorous methods were
used, the incidence of these types Of
tuberculosis has gone down to a
very low place, and the campaign
for eradicating tuberculosis among
cattle has been justified. The Eng
lish have now begun to go after
their bovine tuberculosis in busi-
nesslike way and are already begin
ming to show some results.
Different Infection
tuberculosis of. the lungs rarely
is caused by the bovine type of tu-
berculosis. The method Of infection
in these cases is different. The rea-
son that tuberculosis Of the glands
is bovine in type is that it is a foot
and mouth infection. These glands
become involved while the child is
handling everything and putting
many articles into his mouth. The
incidence of tuberculosis of the ton
sils in these cases is reported as
high. Forty-one per cent Of cases
of tuberculosis Of the lymph nodes
of the neck showed tuberculosis Of
the tonsils.
Removal of the tonsils is of value
in these cases. In fact, it is quite
as important to remove the tonsils
as it is the lymph nodes themselves.
How the germs get into bones and
joints is probably that they are car
ried from the tonsils by the lymph
nodes to favorable spot for devel-
Opment.

And again, take the matter of levy

have been killed as dead as poor cd

about like it came from the budget
