Mrs. A. II. Robbins Talks to The Woman's Club On "The Vitamincs in Food? The following naner. "Vitamin, in ' "e 0" substance called vitamine Our Robbins, omics. a nee No late discovery of food valued has equaled the experiments of Doctor McCullum, and associates.

Fresh milk, cow's butter, eggs and TKon u-itt tnrino Mmino nn leafy vegetables are especially rich in vitamines. In the process of pasteur ization fresh milk loses some of its vitamines; so it" sometimes happens that raw milk is often a wonder work er where ;milk cooked ever so little does not seem to fill the bill. The experiments of Doctor McCol lum read almost like romance. .

One that was led on wheat meal and wheat gluten weighed only fifty-five pounds at we end or the experiment; anoiner i fei wheat meal and skim milk weighed 165 pounds and they had the same start. The same result is secured with eggs as with milk. They both contain, as ! no other foods contain in sufficient ' quantity the essential elements which ( mane growin anu proicti me nemw. , But egg yoke and butter are not pure fats.

"The first thing yovr will notice is, of "course, that he does not grow; the second thing you notice is that tissues around his leyes begin i to well. within three or four days after you first notice that his eyes are swollen shut, be cannot get them open; when his eyes grow shut he will Hve only-a few weeks.

There is no chance for him. ihere is a lead eoior in nis eyes and he will never live longer than a couple of weeks after the beginning of the eye trouble. "Now at any time within three or four days of death you can relieve that eye trouble within a couple of weeks by giving him regularly butterfat or fats out of egg yolks, but you can not relieve him in any other known way. "Now suppose you fix up a diet which is adequate in every respect ex cept it does not contain the second dietary essentials; we put in egg iat or butter fat. we have a suitable jimount of starch, proteins and organic I nalts, but we limit the animal on me second unknown. You will never see anything wrong with his eyes." "If it is a young animal fed on such a diet he never grows; notning win happen to his eyes; but in the course I a I - of a few weeks sometimes you will notice he drags his hind legs, and when he does that he is within twenty four hours of death, unless the right thing is done to him right away. "Now it is a very easy thing to cure that trouble, that paralysis. If, for example, we take any natural food, and seed, or leaf or tuber or milk or eggs and soak it in either water or aiconoi ana pour on wis iuiuiu, pour it through paper so that nothing goes through but the alcohol or water, whichever" you ue, you may have in the dish, just enough stuff to dirty the dish and no more; just a little smear; but that something it is not any one thing probably, and it is impure so little as two or three ten-thousandths of a gram, that quantity taken up in a little bit of water and given with a hypodermic syringe, and tne next . ,i i - 1 1 morning ne can wain ime a nonnai animal." The two unknown essentials are called "fat soluble A" and "water sol uble B." Both are found in eggs and milk. fcnmhiTh , rarrv the WuXn of the 1 ,b,!e ,w I It seems that the lowly cow and the iri,i iwtnr MrOllum holieves that 1 the real reason why men and women of China and Japan are small in stature is that their diet has oeen, faulty, lacking mainly in milk and eggs." In fact, he believes that dif ferences both in body and mental ( equipment are differences due to diet, ' rather than to race. The use of eggs in a limited way by the Chinese has "saved the Chinese from extinction" but they use no milk and not enough i eggs.

Another fact worth remembering Is that for- some reason this spring sea son of maximum growth is the season of maximum prevalence of ' contagion. Precaution which have proved ample for safety in the earlier part of the year will not suffice during the spring.

An orches Sow Pennies Reap Dollars r Such is the theory of Saving. It is not i the small amount of money, which r. starts your Savings Account today f that counts, but what that amount will ! grow to in time to come. A Dollar put away today will be worth considerably i more in a year from now because of ( the interest it has earned for you. Hence, there is a hint for everyone who has acquired the Saving habit. Take what few dollars you can spare today, bring them to us and watch how they grow while in a Savings Account here. Whenever you need them, you can get them with the 5 interest they have earned while in our hands.
