Manganese is another nutri-
tional requirement and if 1t is not
present in the diet. normal growth

somewhat like the vitamins-as an

the utilization of food rather than
entering into any tissue building
itself.
Cobalt. according TO the present
opinion Of nutritionists, has con-
troll over the functions Of the pam

1t has to do with the formation of
ipsulin, the substance which is so
necessary for sugar utilization

Fluorine

This nice balance which nature
maintains is perhaps best seen in
the case of fuorine. Fluorine is
widely distributed IN nature and
it is hardly possible to eat any diet
without taking some fuorine into
the body.
When contained in food, fiuo-
rine probably does no harm, but
when the drinking water contains
a considerable saturation Of it, it
may cause nothing Of the enamel
Of the teeth and tooth decay.
Water passing through rich fluo-
rine mineral deposits takes up a
good deal Of the element and if
this water is used for drinking, it
produces a peculiar-looking condi-
ton Of the enamel of the teeth.
Whole communities have been
affected in this way before the
cause was discovered and means
TO remove the fluorfne from the
drinking water put into effect.
Many parts Of Texas have con-
siderable huorine in the strata
from which drinking water is
obtained, although Texas by no
means has a monopoly on such de-
posits.

THERE is no disagreement as
- to the Righteousness of the
punishment of the war criminals
after the war. as promised by
our leaders. but I find a slight
difference of opinion as to the
method in the not improbable
event of the penalty being fixed
as death.
Some think the old-fashioned
treatment of hanging by the
neck, which still is in vogue in
England and in many states in
this country, would be the
proper way of disposing of
Hitler, Himrnler. Goering and
other bloodthirsty Nazi bosses,
also Mussolini and the Japanese
war chiefs responsible for the
treachery against the United
States at Pearl Harbor. but
many contend for New York's
electric treatment for murder
ers, commonly known as the
chair.
If it came to a general argu-
ment, 1 suppose Utah and Cali
fornia would be presenting the
efficiency of their gas chambers
for the eradication of foul GRIM
inals, which is quite the newest
method of all, and in the cases
of some Of the Nazis it might
be the most appropriate because
they were parties to the first

Ration

7 AM by no means a vegeta-
rian, and as readers of this
column know, I have advocated
meat as a harmless and energy
yielding food.
For hard workers I am in
clined to believe ii is necessary
every day.
On meatless days you can get
your protein from eggs and milk
and cheese. and even If you
don't-two days week pro-
TEN starvation won't hurt you.
There remains the advice that
your diet should be sufficient TO
meet your energy needs and
should be balanced.
There Is no reason why, with
bread. butter and sugar in good
quantity. your energy needs
should not be met.
OF course, vegetables and
fruits meet energy needs too,
but their principal contribution
TO the diet is to balance ii with
vitamins and minerals.
THERE is a reported short
l. age Of lemons because so
many are being dehydrated and
sent oversea to the armed
forces. but you can get your
vitanin c from tom toes,
oranges, cantaloupe. cabbage,
parsley, spinach, turnips and po-
tatoes; vitamin A from butter
and cheese; vitamin B from milk,
eggs, cereal. Vitamin d the
adult doesn't have TO worry
about.

should include then milk, eggs,
