Signs of a Vitamin Deficiency J

By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.D. ! A DISEASE of the mouth or organs around- the mouth may mean that your body is not getting the right kind of food. A large quantity of food is not “enough” if it docs not contain r the right nourishment—vitamins and other vital food elements. ‘•- Ailments from want of the right foods are known as defi- \ ciency diseases. Many deficiencies that affect the mouth are slow to develop, but may become-ehronic and very difficult to treat. Vitamins Not Absorbed ? ’ Sometimes a person may have a deficiency even though his food is plentiful and contains the right vitamins. The real trouble may be that his body cannot absorb the vitamins he is\feeding it. i. A disease that frequently affects the gums is a deficiency of vitamin O, causing scurvy. The gums become badly swollen, and the teeth loosen. The right of vitamin C or ascorbicacid will correct this condition, bringing improvement in two or three weeks. Citrus juices are rich in vitamin C, and, of course, it is i now also available in concentrate ed capsules. H Chrlonic Form This condition may also occur in a chronic form, in which the gums are red, swollen, and* tender. Taking vitamin C and ascorbic acid also tends, to prevent , complaints of t|iis type. • Disorders of the tongue are

usually due to a vitamin B deficiency. A shortage bf nicotinic acid, one of the vitamins of the B group, will cause tljie tongue to become scarlet, sore, find swollen. But let the person be given briough nicotinic acid or niacinamide and he will show a remarkable improvement Ifcss than 24 hours after taking the vitamin—a really “dramatic” result. ! ' B-Complex Deficiency , Another disturbing condition is a tongue that is beefy red aijid aflame. This may be a sign of a niacin or other B-cOmplex deficiency, and calls for doses of the group of vitamins. -At other times thej tongue may appear purplish, with cracks at the sides ofl the mouth. This is usually due to a deficiency of riboflavin, another member of the B group. Large doses; of this vitamin are helpful in such cases. ; Thus, it is seen that many of the sores and disorders around the mouth are not due to local irritations, but are feaUy warnings that the body is starving for QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS E. W.: I have a yellow stain on my teeth. What can I do to remove it? • Answer: Stains may be caused by bacteria, mucus, calcium deposits, tobacco, and various substances one eats. The removal of the stain depends op the cause; therefore, \it is suggested that you consult your dentist about this matter.

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN THEODORE came tn to clear » away the coffee things; Gamadge sat entirely relaxed, legs stretched out and feet crossed, one hand behind hiS head and the other hanging over the arm of the sofa with a cigaret between the Angers of it. He began to talk dreamily: “It was a wonderful performance; the scenery, the timing, the lines. I didn’t get the splendor of it at the time, because like the famous character who nad never seen a play before, I thought it was real.” He waited until Theodore was out of the room, and ' then added, “1 didn’t feel the truth creeping over me until Nordhall telephoned me about the after 1 got home.” Not looking at the three faces which were turned toward him, he talked on: •‘We were all up in that sittingroom, as 1 told you; Jerome left us, theft Miss Austefi went. After a while, when 1 started to go. Gray Austen made it clear that he hadn’t paid any attention to their farewell remarks to me—they both made it definite that 1 wasn’t going to see them again that afternoon. Gray hadn’t paid attention, so he tned to get hold of Jerome to see me out. “That lets Gray Austen out; he wasn't behind the scenes of the show any more than 1 was. If he had Wen, he would never have called my attention to the fact 1 that Jerome wasn't available. But Hildretjh Austen was. At just after six o’clock she invited me to wait for heir and Aby; 1 must have waited ten minutes. By that tune Jerome had been off the stage Tor at least fifteen minutes or more. “Mists Austen' and Aby and I left. Aby likes to go first towards Fifth, as Rena said: but she steered him the other way. When we passed the service alley of the apartnient house she professed herself disgusted with the litter on the street, although there was none except tor a half-smoked cigaret? She squashed it with-her toe and shoved it aside. "We rounded the corner, and our ,progreps was slow. Now here I must pause to do honor to Miss Hildreth Austen: to her mental agility and to her nerve. For I I wasn’t cast originally in the role I filled in the next half, hour; I , couldn’t have been, because they couldn't have knowin when rd

leave the conference with Gray i ,Austen. Miss Austen just clapped the clown’s costume on me at the last moment and dragged me onstage with her. ' 1 “No chance of a hitch, you no- i tice; if that signal hadn’t been there for her—the cigaret end— ’ she would have abandoned me at i the corner and gone on around and . around the block until Jerome did ] make a sign. As it was, she took ■ me along with her through the big scene; and looking back on it, I couldn’t tell you to save my life whether Aby would have hung on there at the railings or not. Any- . way, we found the body among us —or rather I was pushed into finding it." J t Now at last Macloud found his < voice: "You’iC trying to say that [ Jerome Austen killed that boy?” “I’m (not trying! I’m saying so. ; Those two service alleys must meet at an angle back there. All he had 1 to do was to go through from their street, wait for the boy, suggest the short cut, and do what the i police say the thugs did. Afterwards he goes back, leaves the Signal tot his sister, waits around the comer of the alley, and when we pass by, goes home. Nobody was around on the Austen street, very few passed on Madison.” Gamadge stopped to put his cigaret out tn an ashtray. “Perhaps you’ll explain,” said Macloud in a restrained tone, “why.” “First I ought to explain that Jerome Austen wouldn’t have done it If he thought there was any chance of the boy’s being connected with that family in any way. As Nordhall says, he may never be identified at all: if he is. the identification won’t involve the Austens." Macloud said steadily: “Yours Is the sort of imagination that gets a man into trouble." J *AII right, all right," said Gamadge, “you’re the one that’s, always accusing me of not telling you what’s in my mind.” I "If this is a sample .. .! You certainly love those people." “I respect their sense of timing. Lovely. They expected the . young fellow at the house a* six, i I suppose: Gray Austen di d n’t I know he’d made the appointment, : because Gray is a little nervous : and jumpy at all times now, and : what he doesn’t know won’t hurt ■ him.

Pomeroy, American war veteran wbo became a top leader of the Communist Huk guerrillas, and his Filipino wife unexpectedly pleaded guilty to rebellion Wednesday and received senlenees of life Imprisonment. ?

It was believed they will be sent to Muntinglupa prlsbn, about 15 miles from Manila, to' serve their sentence. False Teeth Lost On Second Street Anybody lose a set( of false teeth?
