VISION GIVEN BACK TO BLIND CHILDREN Vitamines are mysterious. Xo one has ever seen one. Yet science knows definitely what they will do. The knowledge of vitamines has been a Kodsend to countless sufferers jt certain diseases which are caused by a lack of one or more of the three vitamines, A, B, and C, in the regular i i t . While experimenting on small animals learned doctors found that omitting Vitamine A in their food caured 11 eye disease that was as bad as the i-.-ns'.h of its name xerophthalmia. :.ving back Vitamine A to the tiny ij'it'rcr.s cured them of the eye diause. Not long afterward a Danish doctor found the same kind of eye disease in hiidren whose war diets gave them little or no A vitamines. He fed these hiidren cod-liver oil, whjch is rich in Vitamine A, and they were cured. During the war Dr. H. Gideon Wells, an eminent Chicago pathologist who was in Rumania for the American Red Croj.8, saw hundreds of Rumanian -hiidren points blind. Their food had bt-f-n only corntneal and a soup made from bran and vegetables. This diet was lacking in Citatnine A. A shipload of cod-liver oil was commandeered by Dr. Wells, who ha 1 learned of th valuable vitamine content of that substance. He fed it to tho suffering children and is credited i'.h performi'B more 'miraculous ures of blindness than are recorded in the Scriptures. .Similar cures of other diseases have been made in many other parts of the world by supplying missing vitamine3 -A, It, or C. It can be readily seen from this that a correct balance of all three vitamines in our food is necessary for our health and well-being:. For the benelit of people who cannot easily tret sufficient vitamines m '. ir food, scientists have found ways t concentrate and condense the thr. vitamines so that they may be taken in addition to regular meals. This .- i'.ntifie step has raised the health standard all over the world. I

Turn on The Light

jWLS see better in the dark than they do in day

light. So do bats and one or two other freaks

of animal life. But human beings do not. Yet, it is peculiar how some of us persist in remaining in the dark on the very things that Concern us most. For instance: now more than ever before, we ought to see that every cent we spend buys its full quota of value. Yet, lots and lots of folks go blithely along making their everyday purchases with their eyes shut tight. And it's so easy to be sure you're right. Spend a few minutes a clay running through the advertisements in this newspaper. Then buy the products that have proved up under the spotlight of consistent publicity. Merchants and manufacturers who advertise invite the inspection of thousands of eyes. Here in the advertising columns you see products that have made good before the critical audience of buyers. These products are full value products. They return you dollar for dollar. Buy them. Read the advertisements and buy the advertised products. Then you can know you're spending your money wisely
