MARY HAWORTH'S MAIL

about three times a week, to q
girl there.
Last week, I had letter from
her. She signed her name, and,
briefly, that she has known my
husband well for over two
years; that she is in love with
him and would like to have a
talk with me.
She says she will come here
at my convenience, il only will
see her. So, now that / know
there is some one else; now that
my husband has been home
eight months and hasn't for
gotten her, what shall / do?
DEAR c. H.:
TliE girls present notion that
Il she has something to discuss
with you means that she is
blinded by smoke from the fire
she helped your husband build.
Having lost her bearings. il is
on her mind TO ask you 10 hand
him over.
II given hearing. she intends
70 explain the greatness of their
love and argue that you owe
him release. She will stress the
help and inspiration she has 10
give him, that you can't match.
She will say il is in your power
TO grant him freedom and happi-
ness, or keep him a wretched
prisoner.
My advice Is, ignore her
letter. Never admit 10 any one
that you received il. Say MOTH
ing about her 10 your husband.
Hold your placid partnership
pace amiable. devoted; the
faithful keeper of his castle,
wearing binders toward his
weakness. Leave the cultured
damsel on ice.
Stick TO your knitting, and I
think you will keep the family
together.
At the bottom OF his heart,
that's what he wants, too, even
now while Circe has him be-
witched. NJ. II.

THESE DAYS
BY George E.
Sokolsky

tory that is not Aryan, not Ger
man, was, to his mind, trash.
And so. Hitlers great war was
not against the United States,
Great Britain and Russia.
His real war was against God.
For to him God must be wrong
as he is not exclusively an
Aryan. His racial purity cannot
be complete, as he is God of all
men, even the Inferior races.
The pity of it is that Hitler's
nonsensical notions will not die
with Hitler. nor will they dis
appear in his defeat, as they did
not originate with him.
Weak men can only bolster
their egos by insisting upon
their own superiority over all
other men.
They compensate for their
lack of virtue by the fullness Of
their pride.
Curiously, the answer to Hit
Ter was made 700 years ago by
Thomas Aquinas, who said:
God loves all existing things.
For all existing things, I'm so
far ~ they exist, arc good
to evory existing thing, then,
God wills some good :"

BETTER HEALTH

THERE has been much discus
sion about the nutrition OF
the future. Some people even 60
30 far as talking about doing
all right by just taking a few
concentrated food tablets each
day.
At present, however, il would
appear that the best state of
nutrition can be maintained by
the utilization Of a well-bal-
anced diet, that is, one which
contains foods supplying all Of
the necessary food parts. such
rs proteins, minerals, vitamins,
starches. sugars and fats.

than any animal source. such
as meat or eggs contains and. in
addition. this protein is as good

known as amino acids. 10 OF
which have been shown 10 be
necessary for the growth and
the repair of tissues. The value
OF any protein is measured on
the basis OF the number and
amount OF the 10 necessary
amino acids which il contains.
The protein of milk is val
uable, as is also the protein OF
Yeast, because OF the number
Ind the amounts of amino acids
contained in them. Yeast con-
tains liberal amounts OF seven
OF the 10 necessary amino acids.
In addition, il is an excellent
source OF B-complex vitamins.

potassium phosphate and iron.
A sugar known as glycogen and
such fatty substances as ergos-

If yeast is exposed TO ultra

HITLER insisted that there
IL were vast and unbridgeable
chasms between the different
races of man and that at the
top of the apex were those
whom he called the Aryans.
Most of his ideas on this SUBJ
ject, he derived from Houston
Stewart Chamberlain, an Eng
lishman who, having married a
daughter of Cosima Wagner.
lived in the atmosphere of the
German gods.
Hitler undoubtedly conceived
of himself as a German god.
which explains his contempt for
the rest of mankind.
It was this contempt that in
the end ruined Hitler. Because
he could not understand the
melting pot that is the United
States, he could say about This
country:
%. North America, tho pop
ulation Of which consists for tho
greatest part Of GermAnic ole
ments-which mix only very
little with the lower, colored
races--displays q humanity and
q culture different from those
of Central and South America,
where chiefly tho Romanic i'm
migrants have sometimes mixed
with the aborigines on q larger
scale.
"By this example alone one
may clearly and distinctly rec
ognize the influence of tho race
mixture. The Germanic of tho
North American continent, who
has remained pure and less
intermixed, has become tho
master Of that continent. He
will remain so until he, too,
falls victim to the shame of
blood-mixing."
WHAT he meant by blood
w mixing is not what is
called miscegenation. What he
meant was the normal inter-
marriage among Americans that
has been going on here for
three centuries, including the
marriage of Pocahontas to John
Rolfe of Virginia.
He was SO sure OF the I'M
portance Of race over all else
that he said:
IAN that Is not race In this
world. Is trash"
1t was this emphasis on race
that forced Hitler to hate Chris
tianity.
He could not image that the
intellectually dominating forces
of western civilization, the old
and new testaments, were writ
ten by men who were not
Aryans.
If the apostles were Jews,
how could Christianity be any
thing but offensive to Aryans
If Christ came from among
those peoples, Christ must be
inferior to Thor.
If Paul organized the Chris
tan church, that church must
be vile because Paul was a Jew,
not an Aryan.
The emphasis here Is not anti
Jew. II we are TO understand
the confusions in Hitler's mind,
IT must be pro-Aryan, pro-
Nordic.

THE amount OF vitamin B-1,
l. which is a part OF the B.
complex, varies in different
kinds of yeast. Brewers yeast is
one Of the best sources OF this
vitamin. One hundred grams OF
Brewers yeast or about three
and a third ounces may contain
as much as Is milligrams Of
vitamin B-1 and the average
man requires only about two 10
three milligrams of vitarnin B-1
daily. A milligram is about
1/25 OF the weight of an aver

richest known source of vitanin
B-6, pantothenic acid and bio
tin which are also parts OF

The manioc. or casSaVa. Is
plant native to tropical South Amer
ica. In its processed form, it is
tapioca
There IS no authentic record to
prove when the manioc was first
cultivated, but it probably is one of
the three or four oldest cultivated
plants in the New World Today.
it is listed among the leading plants
contributed by the Americas to the
world economy. ranking with cot
ton, beans, maize, the white potato,
tobacco, Hevea rubber and cacao.
Manioc. an herbaceous shrub
which grows Is feet high in its best
locations, is a cousin to the castor
bean. Hevea rubber and poinsettia.
All possess lateX. a milky fluid, but
maniocs value to man lies in its
long tuberous roots
The plant adapts itself to soils
from SeacoaSts to continental in

elevation of 1000 feet, though ii
must have a consistently warm CHI
