Sun Hard on Roofs

Roofs get sunburned just as people
do and it has been found that sum-
mer sun is actually harder on the
average roof than winter snow. So
this is the time to check the roof
for defects and have it laid over
with some ire-and-weather resist
ant material If it Is in poor con-
dition.

Lessons On Vitamins
From A Through Y
Properties In
Food Told By
Miss Graves
By PATSY GRAVES
For AMP

VITAMINS ARE THE things
that make you sick if you don't
get them. They are food elements
necessary for growth, health and
visor. Everyday and everyway, /
certainly hope you're getting youl
share. The research in this mat
ter OF viaamins is tremendous,
and the findings are sometimes
more than the average housewife
feels that she has time to keep up
with. Nor does she need to per-
ticularly. A good general knowl-
edge Of vitamins, where they're
found, and how to save them is
enough to keep your family healthy
if you put into practice what you
know.
VITAMIN A promotes growth.
protects eyesight, helps prevent
night blindness. helps the body
maintain resistance to infection,
promotes proper development of
teeth during formative paiods.
Vitamin A is found in green, leafy,
and yellow vegetables, in liver, in
dried prunes and apricots and fish
liver oils. Liver is very good
SourSe of A, little over two
ounces containing over 5000 units.
Liver is not too expensive (some
kinds of liver, l mean. Even
higher in units is spinach, the stuff
that made Popeye famous, and
vice versa.
NEXT COMES VITAMIN B
ONE. That's the one you're seeing
about in the ads SO much, because
it's found in whole grain breads
and cereals, place where we fall
down in daily meal planning. B
One helps to Keep nerves healthy,
stimulates appetite, aids regular
elimination, and is necessary for
utilization of food energy. Besides
the whole grains, you'll find plenty
in seed foods such as peas, beans,
nuts, fruits, especially oranges and
bananas, lean pork, and again in
spinach.
VITAMIN G helps to build teeth
and bones, helps to keep gums
healthy, and helps to strengthen
walls of the blood vessels. 1t is
found in abundance in the citrus
fruits, oranges, lemons, grapefruit,
tomatoes, and raw vegetables.
Vitamin d, the sunshine vitamin,
is not abundant in any normal
food. It is supplied by suns rays,

the Weasel is near and see how
anxious they will grow.
This particular morning Shadow
had been feeling very much out of
sorts. Yes, sir, Shadow had been
feeling very much out Of sorts. You
see, he had hunted most of the night
without finding anything to eat
and so he was hungry, very hungry
indeed. He had been out on the
Green Meadow hunting for Danny
Meadow Mouse when he heard Chat
terer the Red Squirrel scolding over
in the Green Forest. Shadow lifted
his head to listen. Then cruel,
hungry look crept into his eyes and
he showed his sharp little teeth in a
cruel, hungry smile as he said: That
sounds to me like last nights dinner
and this mornings breakfast both
in one. I think Chatterer will make
a better meal than even Danny
Meadow Mouse" With that he licked
his lips and started in the direc-
ton of Chatterer's voice, and he
actually had started up the tree
Chatterer was in before Chatterer
saw him. 1t was then that Chat
terer had started on his mad flight
Of fear through the treetops.
Now, while Chatterer raced and
jumped through the treetops as fast
as ever he could, and so tired HIM
self out, Shadow the Weasel took
his time in following. He ran swift
", but not swiftly enough to tire
