Vitannins Are
InVogue;Let's
Get the Facts

In recent years, the term "vita-
min" has become household word.
To nearly everyone it means vim,
vigor, vitality, and all that goes with
good health. What are these vita
minis anyhow? What is the story
back of them?
The existence of certain uniden-
titled substances having superior
nutritive properties was suspected
long, long ago. AS early as 1900
BE-, Egyptians and Chinese hit on
the discovery that eating livers
would improve ones vision in dim
light. Today we know that the liver
supplied vitamin A, recognized as
a protective food factor for night
vision. About 1920, Kramer, an Aus
trian physician, found that when
certain fresh foods, such as vege-
tables and fruits, were added to
the diet of persons suffering from
scurvy, this disease was cured. To-
day we know that these foods sup
piled vitamin G. These and other
Instances of earlier times afford an
interesting background to our pres
ent knowledge of vitamins.
Word Coined % Years Ago
It was only 28 years ago that the
word "vitamin" was coined. And
since that time, the nation has be-
come Neutrality-suspicious." Scores of
scientists are engaged in vitamin
research. New discoveries are being
made, and the subject has aroused
such interest, that the public last
year spent about STE, 100000 for vi
tamin products in drug stores.
For a long while, vitamins were
looked upon as something quite mys-
terious. Today, although there is
still considerable mystery, great
deal is known about them.
Several Kinds of Vitamins
We know there are several kinds
of vitamins, and that each has its
own specific function in the body.
They help children to grow, give
endurance and stamina, stimulate
appetite, build body resistance, and
have other values. Taken into the
human body, they act somewhat like
the ignition spark in an automobile.
Outstanding among recent dis
coveries are those of DR.. C. A. Ell
vehjem of the University of Wis
consin. He found, in studying the B
vitamins, that meat is the richest
source of these important factors.

VETS DROP HOOP GAME
 LAST HALF
Has -beens of Local Bds. ketbaII Are Run Off
 Their Feet

Strange things are supposed to happen in Alaska, but probably nothing stranger ever occurred than last nights battle of unconditional basketball veterans with the City League Henning five in which the latter squad handed the 'old men a 47-36 beating.
 Yesterday noon when it became known the cutter Haida's basket ball team had sea legs and could not play, a team of basketball play CTS was gotten together from the ranks of forgotten men"
 Two of the players had been play ing regularly. but the other eight which composed the veteran squad had not played ball for years. Most of them had never played ball to- gether and some of them had not played game for several years. All were very much out of condition.
 For a time it looked much as though the "old men" would make a close race of it, but by the last whistle, early speed had dwindled to painful walks. The first half ended 23-l7 in favor of Henning's five and from there on out, the Clothiers led easily
 Saxton and Chapados led the field in points, bagging IA and ls points respectively for the Clothiers but heroes of the game were Everett Nowlel, Doc Hollmann and Stan Grumfnett who were playing basket bali when most of their opponents were still in grade school.
 Krause Beats Moose
 In the opening game of the night. Krause was just too much power house for the Moose squad and beat the tail-enders. 49-35.
 Moose, however, have uncovered a boy who will be one of the best basketball players on the channel, Murphy, High School boy who had study troubles and was ineligible for the school squad.
 Murphy ran up 13 points in the first half, potting impossible angle push shots from all over the floor and batting near one thousand in his average. However in the sec- ond half, Krause men set to work guarding Murphy well and he SCOT ed but three points more.
 Players scored last night as fol- lows:
 Jennings: Saxton. IA; Lewis, O.; Metzgar, g. Chapados. 13; Parkin- son, 2; Lawson, 10: Lucas, 0.
 Veterans: Novel;, 2; Werner, B.; Henning. 10; Paul, o; Waldron, g: Orme. 6; Hollmann, 0; Grummett, 6; Blake, O..
