FEW SUFFER FROM DEFICIENCY
OF VTTAMIN c


Extreme deprivation Of vitamin
G (also called cevitamic acid, as
corbic acid) Is the cause Of scurvy.
The main characteristics of scurvy
are pevishnes, gloomy disposition,
unreasonable quarrelsomeness, soft
ness or f1accidity Of muscles, weak
ness Of joints or legs, laziness or
preference to avoid play, work or
even movement, tenderness or pain
on movement, Inflammation, spon-
giness, soreness Of gums, looseiing
OF teeth, thickening or swelling Of
wrists, swelling of joints resemb-
ling "inf1ammatory rheumatism, {"
tendency to bleed excessively, often
bleeding under the skin, so that
"black and blue marks occur from
trif1ing or no known injury (pa-
tients in institutions presenting
such marks have frequently caused
unjust accusations of abuse to be
brought against attendants).
Unless the diet is extraordinarily
restricted, say from ignorance,
from institutional mismanagement,
from extreme poverty or from de-
privation of access to fresh fruit,
fresh vegetables, no one should
suffer from insufficient ,itamin G
intake. # such fresh fruit or fresh
vegetables are not available, COM
mercially canned tomato or tomato
juice Is nearly as rich in vitamin G
as fresh tomato or tomato juice or
fresh orange. lemon, grapefruit or
other fruits or their juices.
1t is my belief that moderate de-
ficiency In vitamin c over the
course OF many years IL one fac
tor in the causation of pyorrhea in
many instances.
Psychologists are inclined to
think that the amount of vitamin
G present in two or three ounces of
tomato juice or orange juice daily
IS sufficient to maintain health.
There are now available tablets of
pure vitamin c, cevitamic acid,
each tablet containing 500 units,
equivalent to the vitamin G in
nearly two ounces of tomato Juice
or orange juice.
Dentors and doctors now gener-
ally recognize that liberal supply
of vitamin G in the daily diet has
definite prophylactic value against
carries formation.
There is some loss of vitamin c..
after expression of Juice from the
whole fruit, on standing for any
length of time. Oxidation destroys
vitamin G. Therefore it is better to
consume the fruit or tomato juice
Immediately after it is expressed,
rather than storing it in the re-
frigerator over night.
Heating or boiling or other cook
ing hastens destruction by oxida-
ton. Therefore raw food provides
more vitamin c than the same food
after heating-for example, raw
milk contains more vitamin G than
pasteurized milk or boiled or canned
or dried, powdered or evaporated
or condensed milk does. When in
fants in a large institution de-
veloped scurvy, in my inferno days,
they not only received orange
juice but the boiling of their milk
was stopped until they recovered.

In The Local Theaters
STATE

Currently thrilling theatergoers at
Warner Bros. State theater is the
spectacular new Beau Geste" STAR
ring Gary Cooper with Ray Milland,
Robert Preston and cast of thou
sands.
You really haven't seen the best
show of the new season if YOU
haven't viewed this thrilling pro-
duction. OF course Cooper, Milland
and Preston are the stars of this
never to-be-forgotten story. 1t mixes
the stirring romance of a Foreign
Legion background with the pulsing
drama of three gallant brothers
who made life's greatest sacrifice for
the sake of the woman they all
loved.
Thrill is piled upon thrill The
stealing of the blue Water" sap
phire. death-defying feats of the
French Foreign Legion, savage Arab
attacks, the burning of Fort FINDER
neuf; all these thrills and a thou
sand more are packed into the new
"beau Geste."
In support of the stars is a bril-
liant cast, composed of Brian DON
levy, who is splendid in the role
OF the brutal, half-mad sergeant
"Markoff";; Susan Hayward, who hits
just the proper note of romance in
her scenes with Milland; j. Carol
Naish, as "Rosinoff";; Donald O.
Common as young Beau" are all su-
perb.
All in all here is the biggest and
best show in the city. You can't
afford to miss it. Plan to attend be-
fore the closing performances Mon
day evening.
And for further enjoyment the
management presents Might Work"

POLI'S

With interest today cenerted in the
maze OF European conflicts, the
new M-G-M motion picture, "Thun-
der Afloat," which opened yester-
day at Loew's Poll has an extra
share of attraction, due to the time
Illness of its subject material.
Starring Wallace Berry, with
Chester Morris and blonde Virginia
Grey, the hard-nitting film brings
TO Life the pages of recorded history
revealing some of the astounding
events of 1918, until now rightly
censored. The story itself, based on
hitherto censored U. S. Naval
records presents Berry in his best
role since 1.-THE Bad Man of Brim-
stone" AS a renegade tugboat Ship
ped who rebels against Navy dis
cipline and sets out to win the war
single-handed, Berry is depicted at
his roughneck best. Chester Morris
is seen at his tugboat rival and
later, as his superior officer in the
navy. Virginia Grey, the M-G-M
skyrocketing starlet provides the
feminine love interest as Beery's
fiery little daughter and the object
OF Morris unwilling affection.
But the startling facts revealed in
the picture, actually told for the
first time are what give it its docu-
bentary value. For example, there
are few that know that Germany's
U-boats actually sank a ten thous-
and ton American fighting ship in
New York barber in 1918; that other
enemy sea raiders torpedoed Sc u.
S. vessels in American water; that an
unprotected New England town was
shelled by German destroyers.
From these and many other facts
this dynamic story has been FASH
Toned, and rivals" Captains Coura-
geous" and "Muting On The Bounty"
in action and authenticity.
On the same program is another
smash hit, the laugh riot stop.

After holding up one as an ex-
ample to the other for years-the
parents are surprised when the less

The parents of daughters who

FOSTER TALENTS
OF PLAIN JANE"
If Mary has looks and way with
her-Jane Is certain to have her
good points. And these the parents
should look for, and bring out.
Perhaps she is very intelligent, or
has talent for drawing, for music
or takes to sports like a duck to
water.
She should be made to feel that
what she has is every bit as import
ant as what her sister has. And
everything possible should be done
to improve her looks.
If permanent will give her con-
fidence in herself, then she should
have that. If dancing lessons won't
wreck the family budget, she is, per-
haps, the one who should have
dancing, lessons. Not the naturally
graceful one.
