tiers are in London. Through her
visits she hopes TO bring the organ

Condition of Tongue

Wnetnf4 OF not IneTe - any HlBHb
blindness. This is perhaps the
best general test Of vitamin de-
ficiency, and II night blindness is
present it indicates that probably
a number Of vitamfns are deficient
in the diet.
The condition Of the tongue is
very important. A rough, assured
or raw tongue is good evidence Of
vitamin deficiency. Ulcerations or
cracks around the lips are also
noted. The condition of the bones,
especially if there is any swelling
Of the long bones toward the end;
whether there is any pain present
over the bones, are especially val
liable signs in infants.
The condition Of the skin itself
is an indication Of vitamin de-
fciency. II the skin is rough and
shows little plugs at the mouth of
the sweat glands which make it
look as If there were goosefiesh.
this is considered to be an indica-
ton Of vitamin deficiency. A gen.
eral feeling Of lassitude is noted,
and, in general, feeling Of well
being would indicate that the vita
min supply in the food is sufficient.
Dietary Habits
In trying to arrive at a dag
nosis, it is we'll to inquire into the
dietary habits of the individual
What kind Of cook is there in the
household? Does the cook cook
for one or several? A person liv-
ing alone and cooking his or her
own meals is much more likely to
use processed foods which do not
contain vitamins in large num-
bers. A housewife cooking for
several people, on the whole, is
likely to have more balanced diet
containing a good quantity Of
vitamins.
The whole subject Of vitamins Is
one which undoubtedly will be in
creasing in Importance within the
next few years. More and more
conditions are being found in
which concentrated vitamip diets
will be efficacious.
have, for instance, before me a
report on arthritis and rheuma-
tism in which it has been found
accidentally that pushing the vita
minis will lead to improvement. In
these cases the vitamins act some.
what like drugs-it is not a ques.
ton so much that there is def
cheney in the diet, but the vitamin
in concentrated form acts in a
helpful way as if it were chemi-
cal. One thing that has made
treatment so popular is that at
any rate, it never does any harm
and there is very little toxicity as
ISOLATED with the vitamins.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
E. O.:-"Should a person suf-
fering from varicose veins do a lot
of walking or rest as much as pos
sible? Will rubbing the legs with
alcohol help in any way? If there
is a cure, what would be best?"
Answer-We have several times
in this column described the in
lection treatment Of varicose veins
which is very satisfactory. Walk
ing is harmful for varicose veins
before treatment but there is no
reason why people should limit
their activity on account Of vari-
cose veins when there is a salts
factory treatment, and certainly
no one should use so perfectly use
less palliative as alcohol rubs in
the hope they are doing some good.
After the injection treatment is
completed, the varicose vein pa
tent can walk as much as he likes.

Out of 35 such Extensions" only one dealt directly with the Neutrality Act and only four others consid- cred the war from a foreign rela- tions angle The observations on defense strikes, price stabilization, priorities, the sad fate of small industrial plants, and defense high ways far overshadowed the Neu- trality Act.
 There was, of course, more fire toward the finish. An approach ing vote always brings them out, but in between that and that promising Scene I, it was pretty listless business.
