what is TO become of u.s." The fact
is the diet Of the American people
was never so full Of vitamins in
the whole course of its history.
Compared to the diet of our ia
thers-salt food, meat and pota-
toes, preserves, no fresh fruits or
vegetables all winter except the
apple barrel in the cellar = our
tables groan with vitamins. And
with their diet our fathers had
enough energy to level the noun
tains and make the prairies bloom,
and establish education, justice
and taxes for a mighty empire.
"The diet Of the worker in the
Boogum Factory is sadly lacking
in Vitamin B and d, "say the Vita
min experts and then conclude the
workers must be below par. Yes,
but nobody takes the trouble of
checking by looking at the workers
who were bright eyed and healthy
and in one year had accomplished
war production that the govern
ment didn't expect for two.
Vitamins In Food
The writers in the medical mag,
azines copy this stuff from each
other by the ream without ever
taking the trouble to analyze it. II

journalistic scare-head | could fill

warnings that would brighten the

isn't it too bad about Miss So
and-So. She has to take vitamins
that cost four dollars a box and
she is so poor" Who told her to
take the vitamins-a doctor? Oh!
no, she just thought she needed
them. All right, why doesn't she
eat an orange, carrot, some spin
ach, a cereal and take a walk in
the sunshine and get her vitamins
for about 20 cents. She also
ought to have an average amount
of fat in her diet. Normally hu-
mans absorb 20 per cent of the
caroline in raw carrots or cooked
spinach, furnishing them with
vitamin A, but this drops to so
per cent if there is no fat in the
diet.
Vitamins Made In Body
We are told as one Of the ad-
vances Of 1943 that continued
studies Of the vitamins show that
the one most lacking in American
diets is thiamine, part Of the Vita
min B complex. And on the heels
OF this discovery is another one
that demonstrates that thiamine
is developed in the bowels by the
action of intestinal bacteria. And
most Of the biotin we use is de-
veloped in the same way: biotin
being part of the Vitamin B COM
pick, named biotin because it is
absolutely essential to and the ac-
tivator Of life. So we know that
two Of the four major vitamins
B and Dare formed by the
body itself: possibly A is, and it
IS pretty hard TO get away from
Nitamin c if you are not a food
faddist and eat anything at all
except candy and soda crackers.
We are furnished by the re-
searchers with a chart which shows
how long it takes for deficiencies
in diet elements to show up. Water
deficiency, this profound work
proves, shows up in a few hours.
Vitamin B deficiency in several
weeks. Vitamin C and Vitamin
A deficiencies several weeks or
months respectively. And in the
meantime l suppose the prospec-
tive victim might just possibly eat
an orange, or baked potato or
some butter and stave off the de-
fciency for a few more weeks!

Cookies

HOME MADE cookies are

Here's a delightful new
cookie, that keeps well. and is a
fine all-purpose cookie too
It's something like a ginger
snap, but il has a delicate spicy
butterscotch flavor and color
instead of being gingery. It's a
little shorter than an old
fashioned ginger snap too, quite
rich enough to serve with after
noon tea and simply perfect With
milk or cocoa for an after
school snack.
When you're m aking the
cookies shape them by rolling a
little of the dough into a ball
between the palms of the hands;
then flatten the ball into an
even round. about a quarter of
an inch thick. II only takes a
minute 10 get the knack OF il
and II saves all the bother of
rolling pins and cookie cutters.
You always come out even this
way too.

Metropolitan Praises

Minneapolis, May 15.-(UP)-The Rev. Stanislaus Orlemanski's con. versations with Premier Josef Stalin in Russia were defended last night by Metropolitan Benjamin, New York, head of the Russian Orthodox church of America.
 Father Orlemanski's talks with Stalin were very useful in purpose to both the peoples of Russia and Poland and to the constituency of the Roman Catholic church gener- ally" Metropolitan Benjamin said in a talk at St. Mary's Russian Orthodox church.
 The Metropolitan, who was con- demned to death in 1919 by Com muniStic Secret police organization when he was bishop of the White Russian armies, said that Orleman- ski lis deeply concerned with the world of the future and doing what he can for labor"
 He said Orlemanski should not be punished flor his interest in the common people and the laboring man, rather than the well-to-do."
 The Metropolitan, who came to America in 1928. said 70 per cent of the Russian people believe in God.
 Organized atheism in Russia is finished" he said. Under Stalin, the state does not interfere with the church. nor does the church fight the state"

M. StoIfi II estifies

defense expected to call severa. more witnesses.
 This morning the accused testified that he had known Albert O Taller, Republican registrar of voters who set in motion the charges against him, for eight years. He said he had been instrumental in getting dele gates to the biennial conventions to get the nomination for Taller as Registrar of voters.
 He repeated his contention that he was made voter in 1929, and voted in that and subsequent cleo tions, although his name does not appear as having been made @ voter on any of the city records. He said he was elected selectman in 194l and reelected in l942.
 Stolfi resigned as selectman of voters without admission of guilt" so as not to hamper the making of new voters shortly after the charges against him were made public fol- lowing an anonymous phone call al- legedly received by MT. Taller two months ago.
