B Vitamins
Spring Tonic

ONE OF the best tonics for
spring is plenty of B vitamins.
This group in your food may
change just fair health to buoy
ant health, steady the nerves,
even improve a frayed DISPOSE
ton.
In their raw or original state
most plant and animal foods
contain some of the B vitamins,
but only a few foods contain
very much For special mention
we might star lean pork, liver
and kidney and other meat or
gans, whole grains, dried beans
and peas, soybeans, and nuts
particularly peanuts Other foods
that supply vitamins of B group
include lean meats, eggs, milk,
vegetables, and fruits, according
to home economists of the U. S.
Department of Agriculture
The body can store some vita
minis, but not the BIS. 1t must
have regular, as well as plen-
tiful, supply. Try to include
some B food at each meal, if pos
sible-at least some every day.
The BIS are short in many
diets because a great deal of Wit
amin B loss occurs in the kitch-
en-. Heat in cooking destroys
some of the B value food con-
tains, and some leaks out into
cooking water. If foods contain
ing B vitamins are reheated, ev-
en- fewer of these valuable Wit
amins remain--though the re-
cooked food will still have other
food value. Don't discard left
overs; use them, but don't count
on them for daily BIS. Be sure
TO rescue B vitamins that get
out into cooking water. Save
the liquid and serve 1t with veg
etables. or use it in sauces and
gravies.
Important to keep in mind
now Is the effect of the war
time meat situation in cutting
down on a mainstay source of
BIS. Fortunately, there are a
number of protein foods, such as
eggs, dried beans and peas, soy
beans, and nuts, that can alter
nate for meat as main dishes and
that contain, at the same time, a
good share of B vitamins.

Ensign Vincent Garni on Hero
Ship That Fooled Enemy
In Africa Landing.

An Ely navy ensign was aboard the
destroyer, the Bouncing Bee" which
led the American occupation forces
into Africa.
He is Ensign Vincent Garni. Garni
is now in New York City awaiting as
signment to a ship of the fleet.
Most Elyites were not aware that
Ensign Garni was hero Of this dan
gerous mission until the destroyer
steamed into Norfolk, Va, and her
crew members told their story to the
nation. But Garni, home last Christ
mas for a three-day leave, modestly
let his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Louis
Garni, and a few friends in on the
fact that he had seen action IN the
blitz landings on North Africa. He had
been transferred to another ship and
returned to this country.
Garni, a graduate Of the Ely junior
college and of the University of Min
nesota, enlisted in the navy on Jan. g.
1912 He took a four-month course
at Annapolis naval academy, gradu-
ating with an enSign's commission on
Nay ). He then spent short leave
here, going to San Francisco the lat
ter part of May There only two days
he VS. transferred to Norfolk.

Immediately from a signal tower came
a challenging signal The destroyer
answered the challenge with the same
letters and the land light went out"
This bit of quick thinking gained q
priceless 10 minutes before the oppos-
ing forces decided to take action
THE destroyer rounded a bell buoy
and nosed into the inner harbor In
flash the guns opened up from the
hills. The ship answered with every
piece of ordnance aboard. Racing
through the hail of shells, the destroy
er flung herself at full speed upon ths
rocky shore" The ship was not fat
ally damaged and at the next high
I, tide was floated off the shore.
Troops and equipment were landed

fire were silenced. Ashore with ths
troops went landing parties of blue.
