QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

A. V.-"Can you enlighten me
on dementia praecox? Is there
cure for this mental disorder?"
Answer-Dementia praecox is
form Of mental depression which
occurs mostly in young people. 1t.
is not hereditary and does not run
in families as many forms Of men,
tai disorder do. 1t seems to be a
process of Withdrawing into one
self and losing interest in the rest
of the world. The causes are very
complicated and can only be un.
raveled with full analysis Of the
individuals life history. Many
methods Of treatment are tried.
Often in the course Of time the
patients get better. The so-called
shock therapy with metrazol, by
producing profound disturbance
amounting to a convulsion, has
been successful in many cases
when carried out by competent.

Vitamins Straight

1. The enumeration of the Vita
minis. They have been multiply
ing so fast that even the best doc
tors can hardly keep up with what
is Vitamin P and Vitamin V. In
this enumeration | will try to tell
first what the average person
wants to know-what 4 specific
vitamin does in the body, then
what its chemical structure is,
and then such practical questions
as whether it is destroyed by cook
ing or refrigeration.
2. The diseases or bodily condi-
tions that result from lack in the
diet of one or the other vitamin.
3. What signs on the body show
vitamin deficiency.
The vitamins which have been
described to date are A; B., b., b.,
b., b.. Be-; c.; D; E; X; P; U; w;
V. The nomenclature isn't at all
logical. Why should there be
break in continuity between E and
K? The answer is that custom de-
creed that the vitamins should be
named alphabetically and the lat
ter workers feared that someone
else would monopolize the low let
tiers of the alphabet so they ap-
propriated them first.
History Lesson
A was, as might be suspected,
the first to be discovered. 1t is
found in fatty FOOD and is fat
soluble. So is Vitamin D and these
are often found together. Vitamin
D prevents ricketts,; it was at first
supposed that Vitamin A pre-.
vented ricketts,. But it was after.
wards shown that A is quite diff.
ferent and separate from d. Life
could not be sustained if Vitamin
A were not in the diet-it carries
on growth, prevents infections
and superintends things general.
ly. lt.has a good deal TO do with
the nutrition of. the eye. If the
retina does not get enough Vita.
min A, night blindness occurs.
This is not very serious, but when
it occurs it indicates that the diet
does not contain enough vitamins
generally. And the test for night
blindness can very easily be made;
special machines are used.
Vitamin A has been used as a
medicine, or rather, dressing for
burns and many skin diseases.

 The French we now recall easily enough, were wavering between democracy and dictatorship democracy could not survive in France if peace continued There parallel for this in Britain, where a close-knit people are fully agreed on the basic premises of self government
 With no lack of courage and no concern for the feelings of the upper classes the British Govern ment has firmly corralled it's few suspicious pro- Nazis, mostly persons of wealth and prominence and put them in prison.

 What this means is simply that Great Britain will win or lose her battle by military factors She may survive or she may perish But in any event, she will not collapse before the first assault due to weakness within.

AN UNEXPLAINED DELAY

Toward the end of the Flanders campaign, and again after the collapse of France, the Nazi press talked necessarily of sailing against England More recently Marshal Goering and Hitler himself have issued final warning" after final warning"
 Furthermore German military leaders have spoken canddly to newspapermen of their plans for the lightning invasion of the British Isles. It would that the German people have been promised a dramatic victory over the island kingdom which has been talked of steadily the supreme enemy
 In these circumstances, it begins to strange that actual offensive against Britain has yet been undertaken, apart from increasingly ambitious air attacks Many reasons have been advanced for the delay in German plans for the final blitzkrieg.
 One is the Naz fear that Russia is going to take advantage of German preoccupation with Eng land to strike afresh in the Balkans. Another is necessity for paralyzing British air defense by air raids before risking too much in outright at tempt at invasion. Still another is the enormous preparation required for a combined sea and air offensive from scores of points along the western coast of Europe
 Perhaps the seeming 'sowness of Germany in this final stage the conflict is only due to the difference in the magnitude of the tasks involved, The attack on the Low Countries and France came with fierce speed and close the heels of the Nor wegian campaign But it involved troops and equip ment held in readiness the West Front for many months.
 The attack on England calls for immensely greater preparations For if it is to be a genuine attempt invade it will require great numbers of ships as well planes. The transport of an nvad- ing army by is a mammoth enterprise. Even in the attack Norway long preparation nec- essary And that was small thing compared to the projected invasion of England. for Norway had an army of 2,5Oo men, while England has 2Ooo- GOO in its home army.
 Not even the most learned of military experts can possibly know how Britain will stand up to the ordeal. But thing is quite certain Britain will not be another France. There is no fifth column in England comparable to the millions of Commun- ists in France. There is to correspond to the

FRIDAY. JULY 26

FRIDAY, JULY 26
 Benefic aspects balance adverse influences today. The stars smile upon women and there is promise of success in theatrical or social entertainments. There is good sign for visiting and the urge for family reunions should be strong.
 Heart and Home: Women are well directed today Energy and ambition are stimulated under this sway which encourages wives to aid their husbands in political cam paigns. Continuance of the success of the wife of a high official who has made personal fame is prog nosticated. The portents indicate that class distinctions and social bars will disappear even more gen. erally than was apparent after the first World War True democracy is to prevail as customs are ignored and precedents broken.
 
 to corporations that undertake huge contracts for shipbuilding and air plane production is to affect many states favorably. Manufacturing on great scale will bring money to small inland towns as coastal plants are carefully camouflaged despite the small danger of air attacks by an enemy. War Scares will be frequent, but the nation is to eX- perience the unexpected instead of what is apprehended. Again surprise is to bring peril.
 National Issues: Preparedness will continue to be of first concern in Washington where Government machinery will be high-geared and activity intense through a historic summer in which the national cleo ton becomes subordinated to world dangers. Non partisan patriotism will be evident in the splendid and unselfish service of public men. More than one distinguished states man will forfeit health in months of. extreme strain.
 International Affairs: The final conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter takes place February Is, 1941, and symbolizes the hope for the ending of conflict among the peoples of Europe The fall of dictators is in- dicated and there may be return of monarchial form of Govern ment in one or two countries. Persons whose birthdate 1t is have the augury of a fortunate year to which happy domestic con- ditions contribute. The young will court and marry.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be lucky all through life. Charm of personality added to un- usual talents will assure success.
