RIGHT FOOD FOR
GOOD HEALTH
Your Health and Vitality De-
ponds on Proper Food
and Right Amount
BY CHARLOTTE SPENCER

Citrus fruit are now at the height
of their season. Oranges, grape
fruit, lemons and tangerines are
most plentiful and of best quality
from now until spring.
This is a particularly good year
for oranges. Unless unfavorable
weather and freezing occur in Flor
ida and California we will have
more oranges this year than last.
Florida and California produce
most of the oranges used in the
United States with comparatively
small crops in Texas, Arizona, Ala
bama, Mississippi and Louisiana.
Grapefruit is not quite so plenti-
full as last year 50 grapefruit pric-
es will be a little higher. However
the quality has not suffered. Flor
ida and the Texas Rio Grande Val
ley produce the bulk of the grape
fruit crop with California and
Arizona roducing smaller
amounts. Texas grapefruit grow
ing is on the upgrade with large
numbers of young trees there just
coming into full bearing age. Pink
grapefruit from Texas is becoming
more and more popular.
This years crop of tangerines is
scarce and of poorer quality than
last year. The scarcity has pro-
duced corresponding higher prices.
The lemon supply will probably
be about the same as last year.
Citrus fruits are famous for their
generous supply of vitamin c.
Rules for a well balanced diet en-
phasize one serving of citrus fruit
or of tomatoes each day.
Raw vegetables are a rich source
of this vitamin, but cooking or long
storage greatly decreases the
amount of vitamin c in vegetables.
Fortunately vitrus fruits and toma-
toes do not suffer as much from
either cooking or storing. Thus
canned grapefruit, orange or toma-
to juice is a reliable substitute for
the fresh fruit and may be consid-
erably cheaper.
Lemons are used mostly as a
garnish or fiavoring. A slice of
lemon adds zest as well as nutritive
value to fish, greens, beets, salads
and meats. Prunes which are not
at all rich in vitamin c are improv-
ed by the addition of lemon juice.

Much of the tired- ness taht many people have today is caused by poor lighting in the room.

Various errors in the eye were pointed out with the aid of charts. Motion picture film shown was "Vision for Victory.

In cases where lights cannot be

Landings Detailed.
Perhaps the most difficult job Of
all, Amphibious Corps officers ex-
plain, is getting the men and their
supplies on the beach without con-
fusion. Each contingent of troops
must land at almost exactly the
right spot. Each boat must land
after a long trip through raging
surf in total darkness-and probably
with no landmarks to guide them.
Then the equipment for a contin-
gent must be landed under the same
conditions. There may be 20 or 80
of these contingents. If either men
or equipment get to the wrong
places In the storm and darkness.
the result would be hopeless con-
fusion.
Training consists OF making just
such landings night after night In

storms
The japanese practice has been,
where possible, to get small party
ashore first which sets up signal
lights, so constructed that they can
be seen only from the seaside, at pre-
selected points. There will be red
light for one group, blue light for
another, etc. But this cannot always
be accomplished.
Terrain knowledge Limited.

for a landing necessarily IS limited.
