WE SHOULD HAVE A GRAY
 HAIR POLL

kAAAks tOL1
 In order to keep the record clear I hereby solemnly declare that I have never saio or intentionally irn- piled that taking the iodin ration or supplementing the diet with vita min B. complex or both together will restore the natural color to gray hair. Numerous readers have as- sured me that one or both of these have had some such effect, but in printing these reports have ir- variably taken pains to express my own skepticism. So, if any one tells you that or Doc Brady says iodine or vitannin B or anything else will restore lost color to the hair advise him or her that they are misin- formed.
 This disavowal is occasioned, by the following testimonials:
 C.. and I would like to say that I will be 46 years old this month, that I had quite a few gray hairs before started taking the iodin ra- ton and the vitamin B complex capsules. Fol, the last seven months I have not had one gray hair. You know it is a grea: stimulant to . woman to look so young"
 I know this. When am in fine fettle, say on coming home after an afternoon on the bowling green where I have trimmed a couple of the big shots, can scarcely notice any gray hairs. But when I'm feeling pretty weary, say after . too long day here at my desk, I can see 8 great many gray ones where all was sleek before. am cOm- pelled to conclude that one with a more cheerful outlook does not discover gray hairs in his or her head as readily as does one who i is in comparatively low spirits. A nip O iodine now and then helps to keep one in a cheerful frame of mind. A fair daily intake of vita man B complex more than one can get in foods nowadays-helps 1 to keep ones health status at the optimal level instead of just fair, and that, too, tends to make every- thing in life seem better.
 What I do say about gray hair in the Instructions for Taking an Iodine Ration" (for copy send stamped envelope bearing your ad- dress) is this: As manifestation of iodine shortage adults may show a chronic tired feeling and lack of
 usual or former ambition, energy or pep, with little refreshment from rest or a vacation ten
 dency toward depression of spirits
 or melancholia, premature aging premature graying of hair :. .. men,
 tai torpor |. poor circulation, cold
 hands and feet ...
 l I also say something about pre-
 venting high blood pressure and
 hardening of the arteries. But I'm
 still from Missouri in regard to re-
 storing natural color to gay hair. |

BALANCING THE BUDGET

The proposed hearings to be held (notice Of which
appears elsewhere on this page) by the Food Stan
dards Committee in order to establish defini tions
and standards Of identity for oleomargarine, canned
fruits for cocktail and bread of great impor-
tance to the average consumer. The question Of o.
leomargarine to Low income groups is especially vi
tai because it is used butter substit tute.
Since in most cities the price of fluid milk Is
too high for the adequate consumption by low income
groups thus cutting down that supply Of butter fat
and since it is these families who likely
to butter subst tutes the question bears 1nves
tigating.
It is interesting to note that the Federal Gov
errment does not permit the Of butter substi-
tutes in its institutions. Soldiers in the United
States Army are not served these products but its
use is permitted in cooking. The holds true
for Veterans Hospitals.
