Vitomin Def ciency Causes
But Few Diseases

fciency - beri-beri, polyneuritis,
pellagra, night-blindness, scurvy,
etc, obtrude themselves on a ply
sician's attention only now and
again. 1t is true that ricketts, would
be a common disease if special
care-the use of cod liver oil
were not taken in childhood to
prevent it. But most vitamin de-
ficiencies are manufactured in the
publicity department of drug and
food manufacturers. In a large
clinic a thousand consecutive pa
tients were examined carefully
with this in mind and not a single
instance of vitamin deficiency was
found.
We now have exact chemical
methods Of identifying most of
the vitamins as well as standards
of measuring them. In a survey
of American dietaries and using
these methods to assess the vita
min content, the following was
found:
Strawberries and Cream
The requirements of Vitamin A
are 5000 units a day: an Ameri-
can dietary for a family spending
$500 head week for food con-
taIns 5000 units a day. There is
no practical danger of Vitamin B
shortage except where an unduly
large number of calories are taken
in the form of artifcially refined
foods" Quoted from Sherman,

Mrs. Hugh White Keeps
Busy With HOmemaking

There's nothing trying about the big
job of being helpmate to one of the big
gest men in Mississippi.
On that you have the word of Judy
White, who is currently of more inter-
est to Mississsippi housewives than any
other woman, For it is her job to make
a home for the man who saved more
homesteads for Mississippans than any
other man who ever lived--the man most
beloved by Mississippi women of any
public figure since the days of the late
Henry l.. Whitfield.
The wife of former Governor Hugh
White looks and lives the part in every
way. By spirit, character and disposi-
tion she is ideally fitted for her role
and she loves it.
There's nothing finer than being a
housewife" she said simply. Hugh can
look after statecraft; Pm interested in
housecraft. Some people may not think
there's much glory in it, / think it's a
very important job-and lots of fun"
They call her Judy, the friends of
this lovely, gracious Kentucky-born lady
who was Judith Sugg, an earnest little
religious worker when she was married
to Hugh White 35 years ago.
She's just as much in love with him
now as she was in those sweetheart days
soon after she stepped out of Bethel Col
lege at Hopkinsville, Kentucky, to begin
teaching school.
And she is not bit jealous of the
fact that the women of Mississippi are
crazy about Hugh White!
She laughed when this was mentioned.
They'd be crazy if they didn't love
him." she said. mo man ever gave more
time and thought to the matter of lift
ing the burdens of Mississippi home
owners. Why, he used to sit up so late
at night at the governors mansion"
Then she stopped and began talking
about other things--about flowers,
fruits, preserves, canning. Those things
are on her mind most of the time. She
frankly pleads guilty to being "home-
body" She is much more interested in
keeping up with the bright little world
of their home at Columbia than in the
iront-page stories about what a great
man Hugh White is.
1t is sufficient to her that she knows
his greatness. She takes it for granted
| that other people know it, too. More
of her own job as homemaker. That's
why sHe > IeTTlpiy UuSy IHcoe u0yb Ahu
!, can't give much thought to politics.
Mrs. White is busy with her gardens
! and with her preserving. She's laying
up oodles and oodles of fig preserves
peach preserves and blackberry jam.
The kitchen claims more of her time
| than any other part of the house. But
this doesn't mean she neglects Hugh
White.
| "But it's no trouble at all keeping him
good humored," she explains. "We both
like games and we like young people
Young people are coming to our house
all the time. It's nothing unusual for
US to have 15 or 20 young people to drop
in for cold Sunday supper"
There's only one rule to a household
that throws formality to the wind.
Every guest must come early.
That's to make it possible fer every
body to get to church on time. For
Hugh Whites home is house of prayer
as well as house of fun.
It's simple life, but happy one.
