wasted In the same way the par
ticular food is difficult to assimilate
if the needed vitanlin is absent.
Real benefit from vitanlin concen-
trates can be derived only by
knowing how and when to use
them, and anyone without such
knowledge is advised not to try
to prescribe for himself but to seek
guidance from an authority.
Experts declare that a normal
person living on a properly bal
anced diet will get the vitamins he
needs. They say further that vita
min preparations are used by ply
sicans merely as a temporary mea-
sure to get the body back on its
proper vitamin balance; when that
state is reached balanced diet
thereafter is all that is needed.
Harm may result to persons who
assume that by taking prepared
concentrates they can relax on
other health factors.

Remind Vitanliins
Are Not Food

A few years ago new vitamins
were being discovered almost as
fast as the Allied armies and ma
vies have been winning new vic
tories. The nation became vitamin
conscious. Thousands of people
were convinced by beguilding radio
voices and alluring advertisements
that all they needed to restore lost
pep, soothe the nerves and Danish
fatigue was some kind of a vitamin
concentrate daily. No matter how
had their eating and living habits
were, they felt confident that vita
min pills or capsules would make
everything all right and hope

yearly for various kinds of concen-

Vitamins are not food, nor even
substitutes for food. They are ac-
celebrating agents which aid in as
similatihg foods into the human
body. A vitamin is the spark which
sets off the powder: food. But if
the particular food is not present
in the body the vitamin is generally

Peach Growers
Urger to Fight
Tree Borer

State College Home orchard
lists and commercial peach grow
ers were urged today by Chasley
Hines, extension horticulturist, to
take the necessary control measures
to prevent serious damage caused
by the peach tree borer.
The peach tree borer, which is
one of the most destructive pests
affecting peach trees in Mississippi,
can be satisfactorily controlled by
either of three proven treatments.
Since the young borers hatch and
start tunneling in the trunk of
trees in early fall, Ocober is con-
sidered the best time to treat the
trees.
For home orchardists with only
a few young trees, satisfactory
control measure is worm" them
out with a sharp knife. The borers
usually are found under the bark
of the trunk just slightly below
the surface Of the soil. Their pres
ence is easily detected by remov-
ing few inches of soil from
around the trunk of the tree.
Trees of any age may be safely
treated with ethylene dichloride
emulsion. Although this is critical
war material, limited supplies are.
available for borer control.
Paradichlorobenzene or "PDB"
chemical has been used for many
years and is recommended for
treating trees four years old and
older. inadequate supply of this
chemical is available.

Each container should be plainly
marked, and the answers to the
following questions should be filled
in on the carton. Cd Is the soil of

the field we'll drained, or is it cold
natured land? CD What crops have
been grown on this soil during the
last years, and what yields have
been obtained? (4 How much of
which fertilizers have been APP
piled? CD How much lime has been
applied and when? co What crop
is to be grown on this soil next

Samples will be tested and analy-
zed by the most modern methods,
and reports will be mailed to farm
ers making fertilizer and lime

Priority will be given to those
farmers who wish to seed their
land to cover crops or alfalfa this
fall.
However, if a farmer who does
not have a carton wishes to send
in soil sample to be tested, he
may do so provided he marks up
on it his name and address and
the area sampled, and provided he
send along the answers to the ques-
tons listed above.

1t is hoped that this laboratory
will be able to develop more accu-

NO SACRIFICE, BUT MUCH
PROTEST FROM BIG BUSINESS

The selfish prOfiteering leaders Of bust
ness who are hiding their evil deeds and
incompetence behind a smoke screen Of
%labor-baiting are gradually being brought
out into open view. The discovery of de-
fective war materials, padding of pay
rolls, excessive prices to government
agencies, and other dishonest practices is
evidence of the sinister ways of the "big'
boys.
While our boys are making the supreme
sacrifice, small business men are strug-
Cling for existence, and the workers, who
are producing the implements Of war, are
trying to make the family budget balance,
these big" boys are getting theirs while
the getting is good"
Except in a few cases where their own
sons have been called to service, they
have made no real sacrifice. They squaWk
about gasoline %rationing, the shortage of
T-bone steaks, and the servant problem.
They cuss the President, organized
labor, the tax collector and their grandma,
but still don't know anything about real
sacrifice. They are too busy counting
their money and trying to make the
"smoke screen" hide their evil doings.

all foods a be divided into these seven
groups. This means that the daily con-
sumption Of portions as stipulated from
each Of them secures for normal people
a safe intake Of all known and prob
ably all unknown essential food factors.
This is an excellent shortcut to the
knowledge of food. Those who wish, can
go into the subject in greater detail.
Local nutrition committees through their
classes, or the educational departments
OF labor unions, will be at their service.
Others can obtain directly from the chart
the basic information they need. Look
at the chart and check on your diet.
See that your daily food intake includes
items from all the groups mentioned and
! described. You do not have to be an
expert to do that and if you abide by
this practice your diet will be balanced
and sound. Remember you do not have
to give up your likes and dislikes.
Food groups are fairly large. If you
do not like one item, choose from the
same group another one which for one
reason or another may appeal more to
your tastes or %prejudices. But for a bal
anced diet your daily food intake must
contain items from each Of the seven
groups. It is the object Of the chart to
help you do that and to act as a daily
reminder.

TRUST THE PRESIDENT

While little has been said in explana-
ton of the tax bill recently passed by Con
gress over the veto Of President Roosevelt
and while people generally seem not to be
aware of the significance of this act on
their own welfare, it is the position of this
paper that the President was right and
that the proposal that he made for ten
billion dollars was correct. The tax
measure passed by the national House and
Senate apparently puts a burden upon the
working people and is inadequate to carry
out the financial policy of the govern
ment. President Roosevelt in his request
for ten billion dollars desired that the rich
and powerful and vested interests provide
more funds to carry on the work Of the
government. The r%eactionary House and
Senate voted against it and oyer-rode the
President.
It is with a good deal Of satisfaction
Montana labor news., 1944-03-02

that we learn Congressman Mansfield and
O'Comor and Senator Murray voted with
the President.
There have been many opinions voiced
recently that the people Of the United
States clean house and get new faces in
Congress. Labor organizations could
serve themselves well in many states by
defeating the present senators and con-
gressmen. Surely the people of the United
States would be foolish to trust their flu
ture welfare in the hands of men and
women who now compose the reactionary
element of the United States House of
Representatives and Senate.

The chart featuring the Basic Seven
Food Groups here reproduced, is in re-
atty a simplified summary of the latest
scientific findings about food and nu-
triton. It is now common knowledge
that all foods contain not only sub
stances that are sources of energy and
repair, but also other materials in min
ute quantities which are of utmost i'm
portance to the body. These are the
minerals and vitamins without an ade-
quate supply Of which, health and we'll
being cannot be maintained.
It is known that not all foods made
the same contribution to the bOdy's
needs. To get the necessary variety of
nutritional elements out Of foods, the
daily intake must be properly varied. A
diet of only one or two items such as,
for example, bread alone or bread and
potatoes is not balanced, though both
these foods are excellent in themselves.
A good well-balanced diet requires other
items besides any n Or two foods. But
which ones, and how is n to know
whether the additional items do not du-
plicate each other needlessly? And how
is one to know that the selected variety
supplies everything which science tells
us is needed?
The answer to these questions is sup
piled in the chart. It tells us that ac-
