Richard. Something cultivated in his decided

A Short Story
AT FIRST glance you'd think he was just
IA another unshaven bum, though rather
young and too intelligent-loo to be down
and out. But if you looked again, you'd notice
the clean-cut features, the way he held his
head, and his sad, deep blue eyes, and you
might wonder who he was and how he got
that way.
He stood for while on street corner,
wondering vaguely = but not much caring -
where he'd get his next meal. The rent of his
shabby hall bedroom hadn't been paid for,
but they probably wouldn't put him out, he
thought, until Saturday So he decided to go
there and try to forget his troubles and his
hunger in good sleep.

DOCTORS grow tired Of warn
ing, cautioning, deploring and, in
general, playing the bugbear. It's
necessary but it isn't too much
fun, SO today it's nice to be able
to tell you, for change, how
very good for you one of Americas
most popular dishes turns out
to be.
Yes, we're talking about ice
cream. Everybody loves it but few
know there are many better rea-
sons for eating it than simply
because it tastes good. Many peo-
pie consider it a luxury food and
think of it only as an attractive
dessert or a pleasant addition to
teas and other social occasions,
without ever recognizing its value
as a source of proteins. fats,
sugars, minerals, and vitamins.
Vitamin Content
DR.. Arthur d. Holmes and his
co-workers Of Massachusetts, car
ried out some studies to determine
the vitamin content of ice cream.
Three differently favored ice
creams were assayed to determine
the amounts Of carotcnc, ribohavin
and ascorbic acid present in them.
Carotcnc is a substance which
is changed into vitamin A in the
body. Riboflavin is the name for
vitamin b. and ascorbic acid is
vitamin C.
II was found that the ice creams
were a much richer source of caro-

the fact that such vitamin c ms ia
