this time 1 had a number of sneer-
ing letters, which not only sneered
at me but also at Strawberries.
/ am happy to be able to justify
DR.. Rice and myself and straw
berries by reporting on a brand
new research.
Vitamin G is a substance which
every being needs pretty regularly
from birth to old age. If a regular
supply is not on hand the results
range from mild to severe case
of scurvy, to death. Very few peo-
pie have scurvy and very few doc
tors have even seen a case except
under most unusual conditions, so
the conclusion would seem to be
quite logical that Vitamin G is
widely and generally distributed
in Nature. It's pretty hard for US
not to get any Vitamin c if we
follow the ordinary habits of diet.
In the first flush of our enthusi-
asm about vitamins it used to be
stated that lemons and oranges
contained the. vitamin in the best
quantities. Then tomatoes were
said to have even more Vitamin G
than oranges. We really ought to
have known better than to stress
these substances because we heard
and repeated the historical story
of the case of Jacques Carriers
sailors who had scurvy and were
cured by the leaf of tree on the
banks Of the st. Lawrence. Then
Mr.. Vilhalmijhr Stefansson told
US that he had lived a long time in
the Arctic and by eating meat
alone prevented scurvy. So we
might have concluded that even
though the body cannot manufac-
ture it or store it, it must be pres
ent in most articles of food.
So far as Strawberries are con-
cerned,e two investigators have
found that Strawberries have as
much Vitamin C as the citrus
fruits. This is very welcome, at
least to me, not only because it
justifes my quotation, but because

made. A new experiment was IN
progress and a totally surprising
result was at hand.
Some rats had been fed on a diet
from which had been removed part
of the Vitamin B factor. Never
mind which one it was. There are
already six or eight-maybe by
the time this is read ten, Vitamin
B factors. This was a new one.
The vitamin researchers have to
be fine food chemists and the most
astonishing thing to an outsider
like me is to see the way they Jug
gle organic compounds around. So
one clever chemist had juggled the
Vitamin B complex around and
had produced a food that had
everything in it except one little
thing.
White Streak Produced
Then they fed this food to some
litters of young rats. When the
rats grew up they were perfect
except that each had a streak OF
white hair down the back. They
would normally have been ordi-
nary black rats, but this streak of
white hair extended from the nape
of the neck over the back and
spread out in a pattern over the
shoulder and hips, in the rough
outline of bear skin rug "a bear
skin rug without a head, if you
zee what 1 mean.
Now the uncanny thing to me
about all this was that every ami
NAL had the same area turned
white. Practically exactly the
same individual hairs were affect
ed. The hair on the head, on the
legs and belly was normal; white
only down the back
Speculations Too Hasty
The premature grazing factor!
OF. course, the mind naturally
Jumps toward applying this to
man. Nobody yet knows what
causes premature grazing in hair
or in fact any kind of graying.
So maybe a person becomes pre-

the late great physician Richard
C. Cabot as:
% The mass of women who
by the inertia of rest are thought
lessly drifting anywhere.
(2) The mass of men who by
the inertia of motion are recklessly
rushing nowhere.
Work Only Cure
Typical of many such human
derelicts are those who suppose
themselves to be suffering from
nerve fatigue" They must con-
tinually rest on account of that
fatigue. They were born tired in
nine cases out of ten, and the more
they rest the more tired they get.
Nothing but arork aViU rest them.
They are not fatigued: how could
they be? They do not do anything.
1t is really internal friction that is
wearing them out.
1t is here in this class that the
war may come as savior. War
and war work and preparations
for war-ths=n may be the focus
ing points that will give many
"neurasthenics" new interest in
life, and in the work they do and
in the determination to accomplish
definite objective they will find a
way of life that entirely eliminates
the friction that has been grinding
them into nothingness.
Do not misunderstood me. I am
certainly far from advocating
war. I certainly do not think a war
is worth the saving of our neuras-
themes. But isn't it tragic that
they cannot find something as COM
pletely absorbing as war, some
thing in ordinary life that fills
their mental and spiritual hori-
IONS sufficiently so that they could
shake off their lethargy and go to
work for It and become whole,
complete and useful human be-
ings?
Isn't it too bad that the medical
profession cannot find that kind of
an objective for them in ordinary
life? Doctors are accustomed to
say to these people Don't worry
Just stop thinking" But that
would be just like sitting on the
safety valve and inviting an ex-
plosion. Nothing checks thought
except the substitution Of another
thought.

Women Live Longer
R,,t We've All Gained in Longevity

January, February and MartE
Old people die in the winter, babies
in the summer. In other days, t.
death rate in July and Angus
would have been nearly as high &.
m Fcbruary-from infantile dys
entcry-but clean milk and othea
things have reduced that. But in
nine states of the Union, intesti-
nal infections in infants still ranE.
among the ten chief causes o.
death.
Regional Variations
Regional variations are also in
trrcsting and not so easily ex-
planned. The highest rate for
pneumonia does not occur in the
cold and changcablc climate of the
North, but in southern and noun
tain country-Colorado, Utah,
Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Ala
bama, Tennessee and Kentucky.
Deaths due to accident do not &C.
cur as frequently in industrial
areas as in the Rocky Mountain
rcgion-the automobile speeding
in the wide open spaces is the fac
tor.
Diabetes occurs among the ten
leading causes of death only in the
prosperous states of the North
and the Pacific Coast. In Nevada,
Washington and California sui
eide ranks among the nine COM
monest causes of death: in Con-
necticut and Colorado, among the
ten. This is ahead of all other
states, for some reason unknown
to statisticians. tuberculosis is
high among the causes of death
in Arizona and New Mexico for
obvious reasons (the number of
patients attracted there) But why
appendicitis should be higher in
Idaho, Nevada and Wyoming
than elsewhere is a mystery.

NJ. LIS lack of Vitamin B
what causes the hair to turn gray?
Will a sufficient intake of Vitamin
B prevent premature graying? In
what form can Vitamin B be
taken?"
Answer-There has been some
talk of lack of Vitamin B causing
premature gray hair, but l doubt
the evidence. We are blaming too
much on the vitamins lately. But
at any rate it does no harm to take
plenty of Vitamin B. 1t can be
taken in the form of whole rice,
whole wheat, yeast, or in concen-
trated form as thiamin chloride.

To go back quite seriously to the

1t can sometimes be laid at the

surround these people with the

pitation, lies awake, loses appetite,
worries himself or herself sick,
and drags around Fostering
friends and relatives and medical
attendants with the thought of
"heart discasc?" Such a person
should not be smoothed down but

ORIGINATOR OF
 pI0NEERS' FUND

Thorough business man as he is, w. D. Gross also has a humani- tartan side that is seldom made public, if ever. Gross has paid for more meal tickets at restaurants in Juneau, for friends, down and out for the time being, or for just down. n-and-outers, perhaps than any other man in this Capital City. What's the matter, you're hun gry? Just go to the so-and-so res- taurant and get a meal ticket and tell them to charge it to me- And Gross has paid.
 Perhaps the most public-spirited known act of Gross is his Christ mas Cheer, his Pioneers fund for those in the Sitka Pioneers Home. Years ago he started this fund and each Christmas, with more Pioneers in the Home, the fund has steadily grown to meet the demands.
 Years ago, he opened the doors of his theatres, and without charge, gave benefits for needy ones, the entire receipts.
