vrTAMrNs AND ARTHRTTIs

There is considerable evidence to show that shortages of vitamins c, B-complex and D may favor devel- opment of one or another chronic joint trouble which is called arthri- tis or rheumatism. There is some evidence, too, that relief and even recovery from chronic arthritis or chronic rheumatism may be pro- noted or speeded by an optimal daily intake of these vitamins. By optimal mean at least three times as much of the vitamin as may be required daily to maintain good nutrition and prevent manifesto tions of deficiency.
 Now just how much of each of these vitamins does the average adult require daily to maintain good nutrition and prevent defi- ciency manifestations Symptoms, complaints)2
 Nutrition authorities agree that the daily minimum requirement. of vitamin c (ascorbic acid) is 30 mil- ligrams. That is the amount of vi- tamin c in, say, one-half of a fresh tomato, one-quarter of a lemon, one-half of an orange, one ounce of raw cabbage, or not less than six ounces (small glassfuD O. commer- cially canned tomato juice, or 3 1-2 ounces of raw turnip.
 The minimum daily requirement. of vitamin B-complex is difficult to determine because the various com ponents (Bl or thiamine, B2 or ribohavin, niacin etc. vary con- siderly in their relative proportions in different foods. But the mini mum daily requirement. of thiamine is nlilligram, of ribodavin 215 milligrams, of the other compon- ents not definitely determined. GA milligram is equivalent to 1I6Oth of grain).
 Foods with highest vitamin B. Complex values are pork loin, pork liver; calf liver, peanut, oatmeal, plain wheat, eggs, fresh peas, yeast (dried brewers yeast). Dry yeast powder is not ordinarily a food, but it doesn't taste too bad and has been supplied by grocery stores in the south as staple (selling for & moderate price) for use in the diet to prevent and cure pellagra.
 The nutrition authorities still disagree about the minimum daily requirement. of vitamin D, but vari- ous authorities estimate it at from 40 to 1000 LISP XII units. Whole milk, cream, butter, egg yolk, oys- ters, and fresh or canned herring, sardines, tuna and salmon are prac- tically the only food sources of vi- tamin D, and these hardly supply enough to maintain good nutrition. In order to prevent rickets it is now customary to give infants and young children a daily ration of vi- tamin D in the form of fish liver oil or some concentrate of it or tastelesS synthetic vitamin D.

CHAPTER XVII

LIVER since Mrs. Guptill had dis A covered the secret of the kero- sene, she had taken it upon her. self to mete out punishment. She saw to it that MT. Cutter got the dregs of the coffee, the tail of the fish, the neck of the chicken. What was more, she put a paddock on the closet so that he had no more lunches.
 had my grudge against him, too, One day in reaching secretly for the register, I noticed that the copper paper weight was missing. To have asked him where it was you'd have been to reveal my own trick cry. Besides, he wouldn't have ans wered.
 T believe he's put it away just to spite me-" I complained to my mother.
 Nonsense" she said, Some transient has picked it up for a sou venir. It didn't amount to anything anyway"
 My mother might have been more sympathetic had not her mind been on something else.
 One Saturday morning she had filled the oil stove, put in a new wick, and set it in the linen closet. On Sunday when she picked it up to take back into the bathroom, she found it dry. The wick had not been lighted. The stove held a gall lon.
 Suddenly 8 question had come to her. What did Mir. Cutter do with all that kerosene when he finished with it?
 She went at once to his door and knocked. No one answered. She stepped inside. His chamber work had not been done. (Ada liked to leave it until last, so that she could dwell upon it). The receptacles were all empty. The lamp was empty too.
 She looked around the room There wasn't speck of dust any where. The windows were clean; the brass uplate on the chimney was shining. She looked in the closet. It was bare. (Mr. Gutter owned only the clothes on hiS back.) She opened the drawers of the bureau. The top one held shirt and some underwear, neat ly folded. The others were empty She looked in the commode. Un- der the bed. Out the window Everywhere. There was no sign of kerosene.
 She called us girls together and took us into her confidence.
 We searched the cellar, the linen closet, the halls - everywhere he would have been likely to go. My mother herself searched the office. None of us found anything. EARLY in March the weather L moderated. It rained and at the same time grew very cold so that everything was covered with ice.

One morning Mrs. Guptill reck- lessly stepped into the back yard without taking time to put on her creepers. She had barely put her foot down before she slipped and sprained her ankle.
 The sprain turned out to be bad one. Bad enough to keep her in bed for a week, my father de- cided, or even longer if she didn't stay perfectly still. She made terrible fuss when he told her. Who would get Jay off in the morning? Who would do the cook ing and planning? Who would take charge of the 20 visiting Odd Fel- lows who were coming for dinner on Saturday, Here it was Tuesday We would find someone, my father assured her with more confidence than he felt. Help was hard to get especially at this season.
 The second day passed without even real prospect. Upstairs Mrs. Guptill was fit to be tied. Things were going to rack and ruin, she knew. There was no good, she said, in trying to keep it from her. Here it was Wednesday
 On Thursday morning Mrs. Cup till threatened that if we didn't have someone by night, she would come downstairs herself. She meant it, too. Suddenly father had an idea. I've got the very person." he said. T don't know why I didn't think Of her in the first place."
 "Who?". my mother wanted to know. We've secured the town"
 "Eunice Sawyer. Luther owes me $2O. She was asking me the last time l saw her if there wasn't some way they could work it out.''
 Shed be real good help" my mother agreed, 'only ."
 "Only what?"
 Nothing, only ." MY father was getting provoked. 1'A He had his own hands full, and he considered this help-hunting a kind of personal favor he was do- ing my mother. Whats the trouble with Eunice Sawyer?" he demand ed.
 "Nothing's the trouble with her." my mother assured him. T just wondered if she would be willing to come"
 Why shouldn't she be willing?" he demanded.
 No reason, guess. Why don't you telephone her?"
 He went into the office. In five minutes he was back again. She'll let us know right away" he said.
 Actually 1t was an hour before she called back. She would see us through the Odd Fellows din- ner, she said, on condition that she could go home on Friday night. Her husband would have her back at in the morning. She could come no other way.
 That afternoon my mother called us together. "Eunice Sawyer is go- ing to help us out for two days" she said, and want you to be very careful not to let on that ever told you about her having been friendly with MT. Tapley. As I think it over, it was just gossip any, way and probably made up out of whole cloth"
 "Yes, Mama"
 And something else" She hesi- tated and then went on, trying to be very matter -of-fact. There is no occasion for MT. Tapley's know ing she is here. After all, he is a boarder, and not in the least con- cerned with the running of this place"
 "Yes, Mama"
 We hadn't been fooled.

Woman Turns Up Missing;
So Do Deodonzed Skunks

NEW YORK, Nov. 5-UD-Mrs.
Sadie Raye McNeal, of Dallas,
Ore, and the deodorized skunks
she breeds for pets are missing.
Somewhere between the West
coast and the wilds Of New York
city.
At least that's what the 23rd
annual Women's International ex-
position of Arts and industries
believe, and they're worried.
Last February, Mrs. Rebecca
Fineberg and Miss Gladys Scott,
of New York, officers of the ex-
position, invited Mrs. McNeal to
bring her skunks to their annual
exosition to demonstrate how wo-
men can derive pleasure and profit
from low-cost business ventures
in their own backyards.
I've never seen a deodorized
skunk, but I understand they make
cunning pets" said Miss Scott.
II believe they're something like
cats"
Mrs. McNeal promised to come
if her skunks were "successful''
She did not define a successful
skunk, but early this fall she &C.
cepted the invitation and asked
Mrs. Fineberg to arrange hotel
Accommodations because she had
never been to New York and would
be a stranger in the city.
Skunk On Way
Several weeks ago, after various
communications, she wired Mrs.
Fineberg this cryptic telegram:
Skunk On Way. Please Feed"
Preplexed over the care and
feeding of an odorless skunk, Mrs.
flneberg wired frantically: What
Shall I Feed Skunk"
Mrs. McNeal replied simply:
Feed Milk And Water"
Her skunks deodorized as they
are, must live on a special liquid
diet. The Encyclopedias claims
that the skunk, noted for it's evil
smell arising from a secretion of
the anal glands, lives on insects,
mice, eggs or frogs
