RIGHT FOOD FOR
GOOD HEALTH
Your Health and Vitality De-
pends on Proper Food
and Right Amount
BY CHARLOTTE SPENCER

The average housewife is bound
to be confused by the rapid ad
vances which are being made in the
chemistry of vitamins. She has
Just learned that dark cereals are
particularly good as a source of
vitamin B and iron, when she hears
a radio advertisement that GER
tain cereal is very rich in thiamin.
According to my earliest impress
sion of vitamins they were small
living animals which had to be
consumed by the millions in order
to keep healthy. 1t was a great
surprise to learn later that they
are visible chemical substances and
in their pure state are needed in
the most minute quantities.
Thiamin is the pure crystal form
of vitamin B. 1t dissolves in water
and looks something like common
table salt.
The well known vitamin G. mas
querades under the chemical name
of ascorbic or cevitamic acid In
the pure form one tenth of gram
is estimated to be the daily adult
requirement. When we remember
that one gram is about one thir
tieth of an ounce, we see how very
small a quantity Of this substance
makes the difference between a
good allowance for health and
death from scurvy.
The vitamin which used to be
called G, has been shown to contain
several different vitamins. Nico
tinic acid is the part which is most
effective against pellegra. A young
scientist from the University of
Wisconsin, DR.. Elvehjem first iso-
lated this factor in 1887 and has
since received international recog-
milton for his work.
Riboflavin, another portion of
the old Vitamin G., is the yellow
green coloring matter that occurs
in many plants and animal tissues.
The yellow pigment of skim milk
is rich in this factor. The work on
this substance is so new that its
function for human beings is not
very clear, beyond promoting gen
eral good health.
Several chemical substances, sim
liar but not identical, have the ac-
ton of vitamin D in affecting the
ways in which our bodies use cal
cium and phosphorus.
The discovery Of these numerous
vitamin factors in pure form has
emphasized rather than decreased
our need for relying upon well
balanced diet rather than upon the
costly crystalline forms. The med
ical use of these pure forms is for
treatment of people already sick
from lack of these vitamins. The
best way to make sure Of an
abundance of all vitamins, known
or unknown, is by we'll balanced
diet with plenty of milk, fruits,
vegetables, eggs, ad dark cereals,
with cod liver oil when needed.

Another Army Officer Takes
job Outside Military Work

Colonel Fleming is the third army
officer to take over a job outside
of the military service, lately. First,
there was Col. F. c. Harrington,
who was made head of the WPA:
secondly, Brigadier General Watson
was made Mr.. Roosevelt's secreta-
ry, ard lastly, there came the ap-
pointment of Colonel Fleming.
1t is rather hard to forecast how
an army officer is going to deal
with one particular part of the job
now undertaken by Colonel Flen-
ing-application of the law to GER
tain types of farm labor and to busi-
nesses directly connected with farm
ing. A number of organizations, af-
fliated directly or indirectly, with
farm operations have been engaged
in do-or-die struggle here in WASH
ington with Mr.. Andrews. I think
the mere change in headship of the
wage and hour division is not likely
to quiet those people, because the
increase In wages that became eff
fective October "a represents the diff
ference between profit and loss in
most instances. Probably, the seers
who invented the idea of federal
control of wages and hours never
mikes COW after dark or husked
corn on a frosty morning. These con-
ditions were not of the making of
Colonel Fleming, but his is the task
Of attempting to reconcile an infiexi-
bic law with conditions that vary in
every county in the United States.
If he can succeed, some political
party ought to nominate him as its

nents, but their biggest worry is the
credit clearings bank which would
be set up under the plan. This
would provide that all public money
would have to be deposited in a
special bank, including the states
own funds and those of the smallest
village and school district. The bank
would be started with a $40 Zoo. 900
bond issue and an appropriation of
s700, 900 from the state treasury.

Red Milk, Green Oleo Have Bad Taste;
/ Trade Walls Bounce Back at States
By EARL COMPTON

released by Western Newspaper Union.l
CHICAGO. - Tearing down
~ "spite fences" to reunite
48 Jealous Balkan kingdoms"
into the United States is the job
facing federal and state Off
Gals.
Needing a nationwide pro-
test from farmers, consum-
ers and business men, Off
Gals are liquidating a vast
system of state trade barriers
and cutting miles of legislative red
tape, which hens in commerce.
For trade barrier legislation is al
most universally recognized as Sc
rious blockade on the road to re-
covery.
Rhode Island adopted law re-
curing that out-of-state milk be col
ored red; Wisconsin ruled that oleo-
margarine must be colored green;
California assessed a $500 license
fee on imports of foreign" beer;
Georgia empowered her agricultur-
al commissioner to embargo any
farm products when Georgia has
plenty at home.
They've All BOomeranged.
These are but a few samples of
the hundreds of state trade barrier
laws that boost Uncle Sans food
bill by hundreds of millions of dol
lars annually, lower returns on bust
ness investments and throttle the
channels for distribution of farm
crops" a national survey shows.
All were adopted to help local pro-
ducers-and all have had BOOM
erang effect.
When California raised quaran-
tine against Florida's citrus fruit,
Florida replied with virtual en-
barge against the west coast state.
New York excluded Connecticut S
ice cream, and Connecticut replied
in kind. Indiana and Michigan
waged a bitter trade war over beer.
No state has been neutral in the
depression-born battle to protect
home industries" against outside
competition. Now, however, the
trend toward what Gov. Lloyd C..
Stark of Missouri calls "Balkaniza-
ton" seems to have come to a halt,
and observers see growing move
ment toward lowering the barriers.
Latest evidence is a national sur
vey of one of the more widely prev
alent types of barrier" legislation,
chain store taxes. Although more
than 60 bills aimed at chain stores
were introduced in "a state legisla-
lures this year, mot one new state
was added to the anti-chain roster, :"
the survey shows. In three states
anti-chain taxes were outlawed by
the courts in the last six months and
a growing movement for repeal of
existing anti-chain store legislation
is under way, the study showed.

Must Afix Stamp.
Once each week every warrant in
circulation must be affixed with

purchased from the state with real

for IN full, but viii have four-cent

taxes, only 20 now have them on the
statute books, the survey showed.
Opposition by farm, labor and con-
sumner groups was cllmaxed re-
Gently by a resolution adopted by
conference of the Council of State
Governments, which said in part:
''Any law that is punitive to any
store or other legitimate distribu-
tional agency of agricultural prod
ucts is a harmful trade barrier, det-
rimental to both the producer and
consumer.
The abrupt about-face in the trend
of chain store taxes parallels the
trend of other discriminatory state
laws. Only two states added new
barrier laws this year and dozens of
similar bills were rejected.

Among the most harmful of the

Gratis as from the Republicans.
So, there is every indication that
the investigation viii be of the type
that examines the facts and then
proposes remedy. Much evidence
has been gathered, and will serve
as the basis for further inquiry
Some of it is reported to be of
sensational character, but it is not
Mr.. Smiths idea that the commit
tee is operating solely to make
newspaper headlines.
Among other things, the house
committee has sent out question
naires to hundreds of employers,
hundreds of labor leaders of both
factions of unionisnn, and local Off
Gals, such as police chiefs and 9TH
ers charged with law enforcement.
The purposes of the questions are
rather obvious. With the statements
from all of these sources, the COM
nittee believes it can sift out much
chaf from rumors, complaints,
counter charges and propaganda.
Further, the committee wants to as
certain whether there is evidence
that the board, itself, had any con-
nection with labor disturbances and,
if so, which of its personnel was in
volved.

Electric light has been obtained

York Geological society, Mr..
Christopher Coates, an official of
the aquarium, recently demon
strated that an entire battery of
neon lamps could be run by fixing
the terminals to a large live eel
from South American waters
which is known to give off a ire
mendous discharge. He clamped
two flexible metal bands round its
body, connected these to the neon
lamps, and tickled the eel into &C
tivity. At each discharge the bulbs
flashed brilliantly.
When a small electric motor
was attached to the bands and
the eel again tickled into action,
the audience saw the fywheel
spinning violently. Finally the eel
was induced to generate more
electricity, which worked radio
