Visual PurnIe

About 80 years ago a remarkable
purple substance was found in the
rods Of a frogs retina. A similar
substance has been found in the hui
man eye and it may be bleached
and r~egenerated as rapidly as 8 or
10 times a second. This is called
the visual purple. Later investiga-
tors found that this substance is
bleached when exposed to light, and
that it is regenerated when kept in
the dark. but only if the retina was
kept in contact with the still living
cells of the retinal pigment cpl
thelium. Following the discovery
of vitamins only Is years ago it has
found that a deficiency of vitamin A
apparently retards the regeneration
of the visual purple and reduces the
ability of the eye to adapt itself to
varying light intensities. This has
led investigators to conclude that
1.-THE vitamins, especially vitamin A,
may bear an important relation to
the visual process. Night blindness,
when not ~congenital, is thought to re-
suit from the excessive bleaching of
the visual purple. in the human eye,
which is not regenerated rapidly
enough because of lack of vita
min A.

Farm Employment

Total farm employment in the
United States in 1914 was about z
per cent less than the average Of
the period 1859, according to esti-
mates of the Bureau Of Agricul-
tural Economics. During 1913 the
farms Of the nation were operated
with a total farm employment 5 per
cent below the five prewar years.
This means, therefore, that the total
employment was reduced in 1914
about 2 per cent below the average
employed during 1943. In the 1886
80 period about 10, ZOO, 900 people
were engaged in farm employment
On the average. Roughly three
fourths Of these were family work
ers, and about one-fourth was hired
labor. In Illinois, Indiana, Michi-
gan, Ohio and Wisconsin about
1.475, 900 were employed on the aver
age during the same period, Of
whom n per cent were family la
borers. For 1914 the proportion of
family labor was unchanged for
the nation, but for the foregoing
states the proportion represented by
family labor had increased to So
per cent.

CAN Be BEAUTIFUL!
By BILLY link Spots) KENNY

WHILE relaxing between shows
w l glanced thru the Negro pa
pers and suddenly realized what
profound respect hold for certain
colored newspaper men. Men like
Abe Hill and Tommy Watkins of
the AMSTERDAM NEWS. Ralph
Matthews and Levi Jolly of the
AFRO-AMERICAN. These men do a
service for the Negro people that
would take too long to explain in
this column. A service that seldom
knows just appreciation. Men such
as those I've just mentioned use
the great power of the press to
help better conditions for all peo-
pies and not for their own selfish
motives.
The remarkable progress of the
colOred American throughout the
past quarter of the century has
been stimulated primarily by his
Press. This Press has made it pos
sible for Negroes in different parts
of America to know something of
the living conditions of each other.
I firmly believe that the colored
Press has always been in some
form. and still is, the nucleus from
which the many important Negro
organizations Chat we have today
have come to be. In my humble
opinion the Negro press is the most
powerful weapon the dark Ameri-
can has or ever shall have to fight
the many evils that confront him.

Children'S Teeth

The best way to help children
have good sound teeth is to serve
a well-balanced diet of foods which
provide body building materials.
These foods are milk and milk
products, green and yellow vegeta-
bles, potatoes and other vegetables
and fruit, meat, poultry, fish and
eggs, tomatoes, oranges, grape
fruit, bread. -four, and cereals, Ell
Their whole grain or enriched, and
butter or fortified margarine. These
are called the basic seven" food
groups. The mothers diet before
the child is born has much to do
with the quality of teeth. The child's
food habits will affect them also.
Teach children to be careful to use
but not abuse their teeth. In addi-
ton to eating the BODYBUILDING
foods, keeping the teeth clean is i'm
portant. Careful brushing of the
teeth and gums and removal of all
food particles is very important.
Regular inspection by a good den
fist, nee or twice a year, will re-
suit in detection of conditions which
need to be improved and the dis
covery of small cavities which need
repair. Good food and health hab-
its with the aid of a good dentist
will enable many to keep their
teeth throughout a long life.

ratories for the first time since the start of the war. The pumps or
accessories of Pesco Products Co, Borg Warner division here, equip
nearly every American military plane and therefore the operations of

their value also in the quality of peacetime products when the war
