ever keeping an appointment on

supply four of these vital factors
vitamins A, 3, d and G. They
are an important source of vita
min A, which promotes growth
and helps build resistance to dis
ease. The appetite-promoting vi
tamin B occurs in lesser amounts
than A, but its presence helps to
increase the quantity of this es-
sential substance included in the
daily diet.
Eggs are one of the few foods
naturally containing vitamin D,
sometimes called the sunshine vi
tamin. And it has been deter
mined that they are rich in vita
min G, which is required for
health and vitality at all ages.

conclusive appraisal OF the gov
ernment's new plan for distributing
surplus foods among needy persons,
thus striking at two OF the worst
economic problems, but SO far no
serious flaws had been developed.
Distribution of the stamps was
started Tuesday by the federal sur
plus corporation. Checks. averaging
s23, had been mailed the day pre-
viously to the state relief clients.
The plan works in this manner;
A client caSheS his check, Identifies
himself at the FSCC office and is
permitted TO buy orange stamps to
the amount of $3.50 for each men,
Der of his family. He pays face
value for orange stamps, which are
accepted at any of the city'S 1900
groceries for any products except
liquor and tobacco. For each 81
worth of orange stamps he buys,
the head of the family gets so
cents worth of blue stamps free.
these are good for food the gov
ernment has listed as ''in surplus"
At present this includes butter,
eggs, flour. citrus fruits, corn meal
and dried beans. The stamps are
all in 25 cent denominations. For
fractions the grocer may give Gre
| dit or tokens of his own selection,
but not cash.
AT the end of yesterdays busi-
ness, 1868 persons had paid S23 ,638
for orange stamps and had re-
ceived $l1 ,684 worth of blue stamps
Latham White, FSCC local ad-
ministrator, said that the 'numer-

not been encouraging, but he sale
the plan was just getting into its
stride as a result OF word to mouth
