Nitamins Best Obtained in a
Balanced and Adequate Diet

In the beginning. vitamins
were recognized by the fact that
their lack was followed by GER
tain deficiency diseases. Beri-
beri, scurvy, and ricketts, are
typical examples of a deficient
intake of vitamins B, {, and d
respectively. The next step was
the assumption that these dis
eases did not come to full flow
er abruptly, but that borderline
deficiencies in the vitamin in
take could cause marginal Ill
health or impaired efficiency not
yet susceptible TO diagnosis.
On the theory that all is not
known about vitaminS, that some
good might be obtained and that
no harm could be the result,
these substances have reached
their present outstanding com
mercial Importance.
FOODS BEST SOURCE
On the same basis that all is
not known about vitamins, il is
better argued that their ideal
source is in the foods that make
a balanced diet. A great deal OF
study is now being devoted 10
the development Of means of &C
curately measuring vitamin de-
ficiency. This work will ulti-
mately make possible the recog

Vitamins cannot be consider
cd as Indifferent, harmless sub
stances. Toxic effects are not
beyond plausibility. Small guam
titles prevent and correct the
known deficiencies, and il may

Vitamins, which have become
a multi-million dollar business,
are a necessity. But the best,
safest, and least expensive
source of vitamins is a we'll
balanced and adequate diet. II is
ironic that the greatest use of
vitamins is among those who are
able to provide an adequate diet.
Those who cannot afford bal
anced diet are also unable TO buy
the expensive vitamin products.
The imagination of the public
and much of the medical pro-
fession has been captured by the
elixir of health, promise of long
evity, and powerful corrective
supposedly enclosed in a gelatin
capsule or a compressed tablet.
Future generations may be as
amused at the potpourri Of the
present day vitamin capsule as
we at the complex drugs of
antiquity.
SIMILAR TO HORMONES
There is no doubt that living
organisms require these sub
stances. They are substances
which exist in small amounts IN
foods, producing no energy, but
influencing nutrition by regulat-
ing the chemical processes with
in the cells. Their function is
somewhat similar 10 that Of
hormoneS. which are manufac-
tured in the body They differ in
that Vitamins must be taken in
from the outside either partial
~ or completely formed. They
are extremely active. as evidenc-
ed by the fact that such small
quantities are necessary.

VERY FEW TAX
COMPLAINTS

1t is to the credit of Mr.. and Mrs.
Everybody that in spite of the payment OF
new income and Victory taxes there has
been so little complaint. Of the countless
persons with whom we have come into
contact. we have heard only one kicker,
which places the odds against the object
ors at about ninety-nine to one.
Our surprise is not predicated on the
conviction that no one has a right to kick.
It is founded, rather on the experience
that usually there's a goodly crop Of
fault-finders involved in any and all
public-affecting moves of this kind.
MANY have kicked about food ration
ing, about gasoline rationing, about speed
limits. about the Inconvenience OF war
times. Objecting is the great American
habit, privilege, and sign OF healthinesS;
For this reason, we would have expected
plenty of anguished screams.
Some could have come from new tax
PAYERS who have always been in the posi-
ton of paying no apparent or important
portion of tax bills (and thus always
eager to have taxes increased on the other
fellow. And some could have come from
those whose incomes have been greatly
enhanced bv the war. They might have
kicked because now that they are getting
their hands on some "real money they
must give back so much to government.
There is another group WHO could have
objected, conscientiously. In this are
the people whose incomes have been hard
hit by the war; or in many cases whose
lifetime investments have been partly
obliterated. We know several such peo,,
pie and find in their silent, determined
efforts to meet their tax burdens some
thing really heroic.
Acceptance of this assigned duty of
making the cash payments for the war
shows that when it gets down to funda-
mentals, the American people are very
sound indeed.
Our sacrifices are small compared to
the sacrifices of millions of others. 1t is
gratifying to know that everyone, deep
down inside of himself. knows it.

A TOUGH ROAD
FOR ADOLESCENTS

The war is touching the teen-age, high
school bracket of youth in manner that
warrants some concern.
There is nothing finer in the world than
American youth The advancement of
the nation shows that, generally speak
ing, American young people grow up
with we'll developed sense of values. 1t
is the sense of values of the present gen
GRAFTON which may pay real and pain
full price for the accident of being at just
that age, when this war came along.
A large percentage of these young
people, boys and girls alike, don't seem to
know that there is war going on. They
! fail to discern that they are needed here
and now, even for an hour or so day,
, to help carry some part of the burden of
war. French children know it; English
children, Chinese children, Belgian chill
dren,-they all know it. But far too
large portion of our own fine children
are satisfied to let somebody else carry
the load while they continue to spend
hours at play which could go toward
something useful and wanted.
Of those who are aware of the need
for part-time workers and are taking
advantage of the opportunity, too many
are going wild over the proflt-motive.
They are thinking not of what service
they can render, but of how much they
can demand and get. Because of a short
age of workers, many are paid twice their
worth After the war they will have
rude awakening -. They will learn that
in normal times. worker must be
WORTH his hire, must render dollar
worth of service or production, for every
dollar paid and that immediate financial
compensation in return for effort is only

at the end of the wal.
FARM VALUES RISING
Tho latent forces which might

Sulting from several years of large
farm incomes, the desire of young

More than any other, this has been
called a photographers war. News pho

aerial and ground shots of destruction

Where danger is there are cameramen

Sential TO successful air attack and they
have impaired to news dispatches from

urcS on the long-term trend in
farm values show a drop Of 81 per

after the last war. From 1888 TO

a year. If, however, the 19-state
record of farm sales studied by the

oral for the entire u. S., there is
another farm land boom.

second is the shortage Of farm
