ness in the feet and legs. This looked like the prison disease beri- beri. The prison fare was polished rice.
 The doctor put some pigeons in a cage and fed them polished rice. They all developed symptoms of beri-beri. He then added rice hulls to the fare and the birds recovered.
 Evidently something in the hulls prevented the disease. This Sub- stance has come to be known as vitamin B, and is recognized as es- Sential to health.
 This is another demonstration that disease can be caused by nu- tritional deficiency. We can't blame germs for everything.
 Vitamin B is essential to growth and has an important relation to appetite and health throughout life. Loss of appetite may be a serious matter. Children are often afflicted with 1t.
 This may be due to a shortage of vitamin B in the diet. Possibly they are having too much cereal from which the vitamin coat has been removed, or too much bread made from over-proceSsed Hour The white flour so dear to the eye and taste of modern folk lacks much of the essential vitantn na- ture put in the wheat grain.

PATTERN 2S9
had essayed

All ready to greet the first Robin RedbreaSt is this colorful little in- and-out-of-doors frock, designed by Claire Tilden. Pattern 289 is the simplest sort of style, depending on good lines and tasteful details for its effect. It will make you look grandly slim and tall, with that long tapering panel running all down the conter front. String a row of tiny buttons down to the waist to accent the becoming lines of the panel. High-placed, pointed seams at either side-front make your waist and hips look divinely slim, and gathers just above the seams, aided by shoulder darting, hold the bodice softness where you need it most. Notice the attractive new shape of the neckline-a sort of compromise between @ V-line and a Square, and very becoming. YouI short sleeves may be perfectly straight or shaped in single scal- lops, with tucks and gathers. For

Gold shoes with ultra thick rocker soles and shim- mering Gaucho belt of matching gold kid were worn with a beautiful white mat jersey evening dress with harem hemline.
 Next to red shoes for every hour of the day, stoles are the most in- teresting spring fashion news in ac- cessories. New York designers do them in all furs and in wool em- broidered with colored stones in floral patterns.
 Black nylon stockings were shown with a vampish black cocktail dress of shiny black woven plastic yarn.
 Maharanee necklace-yards long and of brilliant stones pastel sapphires were the high spots in jewelry.
 A new type of girl-the Vitamin Girl-was introduced at Fashion Futures. Picked by a gilt-edged com- mittee of beauty and fashion ex- perts, she is the new type of Amer ican giri-national, vibrantly alive interested in everything-a dramatic contrast to the artificial, tired, bored with-it-all glamor girl of the past.

 The Vitamin Girl can stand close scrutiny in bright sunshine. Her skin has a glowing look She applies makeup to enhance rather than dis tort her own good looks. She wears clothes to suit her active interesting way of life.
 Shining example of the Vitamin Girl is Josephine Caldwell who was crowned Miss Fashion Futures. From Philadelphia, Miss Caldwell competed for the title with four other beautiful models, representing Chicago, New York, San Francisco and Los Angeles.
 Joseph Caldwell is tall. slim, brown-haired and fresh-faced, wears the new spring and summer fashions with distinction, is Q smil- ing, good natured person as well as 8 good looking one.

To make a little meat go much farther, combine it with some form of macaroni or noodles. We'll sea- soned sauce is an important part of this nutritious extension. Tomatoes onions, green pepper, kitchen herbs and spices are important. A small can of mushrooms costs little and does wonders. Buy the canned stems and pieces for sauces, rather than caps. They are cheaper and just as fiavorsome as the perfect caps which are more useful for gar- nishing.
 For the following recipe, drain 8 can of mushroom stems and pieces, saute the mushrooms light 1y in butter before using. Any mushroom. either fresh or canned, is improved in flavor when sauteed before cooking.

BEAUTY
(NEA Service Staff Writer)

There's no better way in the world to tell what's really new in hair-do'S or what the new trends in makeup and grooming are than to watch the models who wear the smartest clothes in the smartest fashion shows.
 Not even women on the various "best dressed" lists inaugurate styles in cultures and makeup. It's com- mon practice for the designing staff of a good shop to decide how the models are to wear their hair as well as which ones are to wear the new clothes.

WE DOCTORS ARE ALL IRRECONCTLABLES

WE DOCTORS ARE ALL
 RRECONCILABLES
 Everybody knows what quack means, but old Noah Webster will explain just what it means while the rest of us are fuInbling around with it. A quack, says Webster, is . boastfll pretender to medical skill, or one who professeS skill or knowledge in any matter of which he knows little or nothing.
 There is 8 vein of Quackery in modern scientific medicine and medical education, which accounts for the ridiculous spirit of conceit and boastful attitude of the rank and file of the medical profession today. We can't help it-it is part of our training.
 In an article entitled "The Na- tlre and Treatment of Hernia" I said in this column years ago:
 Every young person with 8 her. nia-and everybody Is young Jill old age sets in-should by all means have the radical operation for the cure of hernia. It Is safer than the hernia; 1t is far more economical than a lifetime of truss wearing; 1t may be done by any surgeon any, where with 8 practical certainty of success, under modern surgical methods
 "No other treatment offers even g fighting chance of curing rup- ture."
 Probably I condemned injection treatment of hernia more specifi-. cally on more than one subsequent occasion. remember how positive my conviction was that no other treatment than the radical opera ton could cure hernia.
 Not until 1880 did I discover that some good doctors were successful ly treating hernia by injections, and even then I found 1t difficult to change my attitude. Of course the ambulant or injection treat ment is now well established. For instance the industrial commissions in many states now permit em- ployes to choose between the radi- cal operation (which requires hos pitalization and loss of several weeks time from work) and injec- tion treatment for the cure of her. mia. Injection treatment does not interfere with the patients occupa- tion or ordinary activities. requiring only that the patient visit the doc tors ofnce for the injections, which are given usually about once a week and take only few minutes time, and are usually painless CT nearly so.
 Yet it seems that considerable minority, perhaps a majority, of the profession today, especially the older practitioners, still believe, as I did up to 1930, that operation is the only cure for hernia. Worse, they are quite arbitrary and posi- tive about 1t, just as l was until I learned better.
 That is the quackery that is in- stilled into us in medical school. It Is part of our training, and it is fortunate for the welfare of the public that in spite of it there are always a few old dogs who can learn new tricks.

The diet is not likely to be short of this vitamin because 1t Is widely distributed among plant tissues Of all kinds. Our common vegetables contain 1t.
 Milk and eggs offer vitamin B in goodly amounts and you will find 1t in the whole grains and dark forms of cereals, in yeast and wheat germ. Apparently 1t cannot be stored in the body for future use SO we must get our supply daily.

A LOW VOICE
 IS A RESTFUL ONE

Don't talk fast and furiously. Keep your voice low and soft-so that you are restful, soothing per- son to have around. Women who chatter on and on drive men crazy.
 Don't go into the personal details of your life-mentioning your diet. your session at the beauty salon, etc. If you have to talk about those things, wait until you're with "the girls"
 Don't make fun of yourself, or apologize for yourself.
 When you are talking to man and a woman, don't talk to the woman and dismiss the man with T know you aren't interested in this but" Talk, about something he IS interested in. if he has to listen.
