The Knowledge of Vitamins

By Herman N. Bundesen. M D KNOWLEDGE of Htamln* is getting la-youd the ABC stage. Moat of them have real names now and we know many, many things about them that were not dreamed of earlier. Not so long ago, it was believed that the only signs of vitamin lack were the development of actual and terrible diseases, disease* such as beriberi, due to lack of vitamin Bl; scurvy, due to vitamin C deficiency; rickets, developing because of InsufficUm vitamin D. More Widespread Now. we know that vitaminlacks are much more widespread than is shown by the development of these diwaaes, and that these lacks can show up in apparently normal individuals in disorders such as increaxerl susceptibility Io colds, decrease in vitality and even in faulty eyesight. Forthermore. we uow understand that vitamin deficiencies develop under many conditions besides poverty and ignorance. A nation does not have to be devastated by war for its people to suffer from hidden vitamin hungers. Food Preparation The faulty preserving of foods and Improper preparation may destroy certain of the vitamins. Also. disorders of the stomach aud bowel may cause persons to eat foods that d» not supply enough v Ham ini, or these disorders may keep the vitamins from being taken up into the body. The chronic alcoholic may forget* to Ml- Tita person with poor appetite may not eat enough There may be a task of secretions

Democrat, who also spoke When he gave his speech in New York, he was on the same platform with Governor of New York Thomas E Dewey. Repulican. who also spoke, mpporting Churchill's stand in favor of the UNO aud further friendship and association of the English epi akiug peoples. To any nation on the outside whose lead era have any understanding at all of American politics, this spells

■ a nation united not only in its s desire to honor a guest, but solidly liehlnd the cause he was furthering—that of supporting and res I paitiug the United Nations Organ 1 . Ization. • o—o Case Not the Same:- ( “We're only doing now what ( you Americana and British did , J years ago." Is the excuse of the , i Soviet spokesmen for the present uudisgiilse4 Russian grab for It<1 t< rritory—ln the Balkans. the Middle East northern Africa and In the Far East. There is a little validity to the argument. Undoubtedly the British Em pin- did come into existence in large part by what today is called imperialism. But now the great British dominions govern themselves. and are free to cut loose from British ties, as Eire ha* ’ already done. That goes for Ind . la. 100. if the Hindus and the Mos- ; lems can agree among themselves. As for the United Slater, its greatest territorial expansion came by voluntary agreement with other nations -to the .Mississippi. ' the vast Louisiana Territory, the Floridas, the Oregon country. It is true that Texas, California, and other teiritory came in as a result of the Mexican war. but the authority of Mexico over the regions annexed bad disintegrated. , We took the Philippines and Puerto Hico utter a war fought ostensibly to free Cuba. But at least these ware not iutegial parts of Spain. as the territories now coveted by Moscow are integral parts ut Iran. Turkey. China. No criticism would be heard if Htalin wete to confine himself 'to the sort of expansion Rttssla ' achieved in the past, across Siberia to the Pacific. That violated no 1 rights of other nations. *

such as those iu the plouiach. or some disturbance of the bile which keeps vitamins from lieing absorbed. Foods may move through the intestinal tract so rapidly because of diarrhea that there is no opportunity for food materials to lie taken up into the body. Home types of chronic liver disease may interfere with the storage of the vita mlns and then, at certain times of life such as pregnancy. In women who are breast feeding a baby, or in those who are putting forth unaccustomed physical exertion, there may be a need for an extra quantity of vitamins. Recognized Vitamins Not only have we learned all these facts about the causes of vitamin deficiency but more and more vitamins have been recoguluml. There are vitamins A. I). E. and K. which are soluble in fat. vitamin C and the many parts of the vitamin B-complex, which are soluble In water. We do not know as yet what a deficiency of these parts of the B-coropiex may lead to. For example, there Is still no definite evidence of the part that pyridoxine, pantothenic acid, choline Inositol and biotin play in the human body. People In general can rely on the foods they eat to supply them with the vltamtns they require. How. ever, when deficiencies actually do exist, our knowledge is now such that the physician prescribe tbe proper vitamin preparations to overcome quickly the difficulty that is present.

Ind., March I*.— <UPi—Greentown's volunteer fire departmeut decided today to |mb Jlcize plans for its next get- together. The Greentown grain elevator was totaly destroyed by fire last night while 14 of the 15 members of the small community's volunteer fire department feasted on venison steaks al the home of a member. When the fire broke out. bystanders were puzzled aa to the whereabouts of the fire fighters. A call to Find Kicker's garage, where the town's fire truck is housed, failed to locate them. But at Fred liiiffier’s home, where there is no phone, the fire department was just starting dessert. By the time one of the boys dispatched to inform the firemen had located them, a strong wind had swept flames through the elevator. James Rose, a world war II veteran Who racentiy leased the elevator. estimated damage today at *15.08*. Richer today described the inciieut a* “just one of those things." He said that he and fire chief Paul Caldwell thought everybody knew where the firemen were. After the flames were brought unde; control, the department returned to the Richer home —-and finished the dessert. 0 The lineage of mules in the United Stale* has been recorded for lireediug purposes only since 1888.

Wallace invited the wrath ot conservatives today with a proposal that Demcx-rats be read out of the party on failure to support vital administration legislation He said offenders might seek offle-e as independents or even as Democrats, but that party support should be denied them If tiiey refused to support "must'* blllv. Wallace discussed stricter party discipline before a luncheon of the women a national Demcx-ratic club. He explained that be would oppose party discipline on minor Items. But he argued that there are certain poropsltions which any president must regard as essential. Those who refused to go along, be said, should be denied future support of the party organization. Right now Wallace would measure party regularity by the votes of members of congress on three issues: 1. Control of atomic energy. 2 Foreign relations, especially S« they relate to Great Britain and the Soviet Union, 3. Full employment and production. Wallace's proposal will not aid Democratic national committee chaiman Robert E Hannegan in his current uuapsign to get the paity legislative machine back on the track. Except In the field of foreign relation*, the major legislative proposals of the Truman administration have been stymied or substantially altered by Con greas. This usually has been accomplished by an informal coalition of Republicans and Democrats.

CHAPTER THIRTY-FIVE THEY WENT into the kitchen ■M Jenny measured out coffee and water and put the percolator on. They eat at the kitchen table and she said. "If only It isn't too bad." **l know," Steve added as he had to Ede. "You must be patient" "That's easy to say." said Jenny with a spark of spirit He nodded. He said, "It’s always easy to say from, so to speak, the other end. Nevertheless, It’s true. Jenny ..." He hesitated and she asked. “Well?" He asked cautiously, "What is troubling Ede?" "Well. REAU.Y” said Jenny, storing at him. He said, ’Tve known her an her life. She's high-strong, and a little temperamental. Impulsive, stubborn. Wo both know her. I needn't analyse her to you, Jenny. But this isn't like her . . . tears, yes, grief, and the terrible anxiety. But Dick isn’t dead, he üß*t missing He's wounded, and Tve said I feel that It isn't—barring complications-very serious. Naturally. we’re in the dark, for the time being But this complete collapse. It isn’t like Ede as J know her. There’s something behind it . . . something which intensifles the normal emotions." Jenny said, "Why? Isn’t It norma I for bar to go to pieces? I would." "I don’t think so," be said gently. "Wen, then," toe said, with a hash of her old argumentativeneaa, “if I wouldn't, bow do I know how Id act? It’s because we're different" He said abruptly. "Something U troubling her, something she’s been suppressing, and this bad news has brought it to the surface. Is it because she feels a sense of guilt . . . because, possibly, her recent behavior haea't been exactly exemplary 7” Jenny was scarlet. She said. "I don't know what you mean." "Yes, you do." he said, and looked at her gravely. He added, "It seems so strange ... a year or so ago you would have come running . . .- «• I’"**.. “* a ' We4 ' We’ve all changed."

Jenny said violently, -There is only one person who could have UHd you that Mary Hathaway. And she 1 pretends to be Ede » friend! And there was no gossip" She looked at him with hostility.

in her stride. She's restless easily ! bored, she made a wartime marI riage with a man she knew only slightly, and their time together I was short Almost anything could ■ happen and. perhaps, did. Some I women could rationalise it. Ede has too much of Gram in her." He , smiled, without amusement “If this is so. Jenny, she’ll have a more . difficult time ... the waiting, the , not knowing, the anxiety will weigh more heavily on her. If she i loves Ainsiee . . . and I assume she does.” | Jenny said, "Os course she does " He said after a moment. "You aay it without much conviction ... or as If you were trying to convince yourself. Because you can't understand that a woman married to the man she loves -Ede. to be specific—could for a split second even contemplate Infidelity - if only mentally. You’d defend Ede hotly, naturally, no matter bow you felt about it. But you wouldn't understand and you wouldn’t condone As for Ede, she’s more like you. 1 suppose, than anyone would imagine. knowing you both. She'd defend herself, secretly, excuse or condone. She’s been keeping all this under, Jenny, and the shock of the War Department wire has released it." Jenny said after a moment, slowly, "I haven’t asked how far—it went I don’t want to know." "I can understand that," be said. “Jenny, she'll vorti this out by herself One way or another. You'll have to stand by." Which was the conclusion she herself had coma to recently. She nodded, and after a moment rose to look at the coffee. He watched her tn a companionable silence, as she stood by the stove, her red head bent It was quiet tn the kitchen The clock Ucksd and Butch, who Bad followed Jenny downstairs, Slept with one eye open in the corner. Quiet and peaceful and seemingly remote from war and sorrow and bewilderment Steve had been at the Hathaways when Gram called. Marv had sent for him. She had had a letter from Foster. Her father was not home and Justice had appeared briefly and then disappeared again With too great a display of tact. Mary had been very charming and provocative, but he had felt—well, call it disinclined. They had talked Os the investigation of the fire, or rather he had talked, and she had dismissed tt. more or leas perfunctorily, as a dreadful thing, too unpleasant to discuss . . . adding, however, that it had focused the attention of the townspeople upon the need for a hospital. Her father, she «aid. was going to the select- ' men and suggest a town meeting ■ at which the offer could be made 1 and openly argued. Here she had added, her eyes smiling and her mouth grave, “That's what you • want, Isn’t it?" Now Jenny said, turning from i ths stove where she had been . watching the coffee perking, with Its comfortable bubble at sornd, “It I *IU be ready soon, Steve I did : want to talk io you about Eda.
