New York. Foot! values are of es
pecial Interest these days of high
prices.
One dines at, bay, n restaurant In
New York city's "Latin Quarter,"
fumed for its atmosphere but uncer
tain as to cooking. The food Is men
tioned cnsuully on the menu In sev
eral languages but tho chicken Is
tasteless, the potatoes boring and the
salad disappointing. However, one Is
hungry and eats largely. An hour
later, the pangs of hunger again liiuke
themselves felt. One llnully resorts to
the home Icebox and partakes of some
humble bread and butter unci milk,
and that Indefinable lack Is satisfied.
The reason for this slate of affairs
is not far to seek. Vltamlnesl At
such places the food Is deficient In
these Intnnglble and microscopic sub
stances, which scientists have proved
are essential to nutrition and which
aro to be found in a large number of
properly prepared foods but are de
stroyed by excessive heat, drying or
other methods of preservation often
employed for wonomy or convenience.
Tho mystery of the vltnmlne Is, there

plies, to the world at large.
What Is a Vltamlne?
Just what Is a vituinlne? This ques

Athorton Seidell of the public health
service, In the current number of the

Chemistry. These elushe substances
have been found necessary not only as
dietary factors but even for the pro
longation of life. Their exact nature,
however, still remains a mystery,

New York. According to Percy V.
G. Mitchell, president of tho Red Star
line and geneialmanager of the Inter
national Mercantile Marine company
In Helgium, the charge of $10 for an
American Iso on passports Is not only
a tax upon Immigrants who have to
pay the high rate of exchange, but also
upon American business men abroad.
"Since the charge for a vise has been
raised from ?2 to $10," said Mr.
Mitchell, "the countries In Europe have
retaliated by making Americans pay
the same amount. They have arranged
to base their charges for a vise on a
sliding scale. For example, I have to
pay 175 francs for my vise at the Hel
ghm consulate because I am un Amer
ican, while an Englishman has only to
pay 10 francsv which Is a big differ

members of his family.

"Since the war Europe has been split

have proved lhat animals can live In

fats and snlts, In fact, all the known

Several theories are held In regard
to this problem. Some scientists 'In
cline to classify vltamines ns struc
tural compounds of living tissues,
which function along tho same lines
as the other tissues. Others relegate
them to the "catalysts," those strange
substnncos which have been aptly de
lined as "chemical poisons," as they
accomplish the chemical union of
various substances without being
themselves affected. Jinny think thnt
they are derived originally from
plants, and one well-known scientist
partment in Washington, without any
reason that I have been able to learn,
has raised the fee to $10.
"The citizen of the United States
has to pay $10 for his passport In the
llrst place, and then to pay another $10
to return from abroad, and the same
amount for the countries lie visits on
the continent. Why tho United States
Chamber of Commerce has not taken
up this question, which Is so important
to American business men traveling
through Europe, 1 am at a loss to un
derstand. Tourist Travel Hit.
"In addition it will also Interfere
with tourist travel In the summer,
which had already decreased consider
ably through the increase hi passen
ger fares made necessary by the high
cost of operation of the steamships, in
creased wages, food, fuel, etc."
Mr. Mitchell said tho Helgian govern
ment was putting the peasants back on
tho land in Flanders, and In place of
the small cottages with earthen lloors
which were demolished by the German
guns they were erecting neat, small
houses with tiled lloors and modern
sanitary conveniences. From what he
had heard recently In Hrussels before
sailing for New York, the government
would not rebuild Nleuport, tho former
fashionable seashore resort, as it hud
been blasted to pieces by shells and
bombs, the avenues approaching it be
lifa ruined.
DlMiiude, where the severe lighting
took place at the bridgehead on tho
Ysor, was to a great extent demolished
also, but the people had started to re
turn there In the summer of 1!)1!) and
build on the ruins of their former
homes. The liclghui peasant loves his
country and does not" want to go
abroad to live, Mr. Mitchell added.

In natural foodstuffs Instinctively con
sinned by men and animals.
At the present time, three types of
vltamlne are known to exist: The.
water-soluble variety, found In milk,
yeast, and other substances; the fat
soluble ones, which are present In but
ter and egg yolks; and a third class,
designated as "antiscorbutic," which is
found in a number of fresh vegetables
and fruits and also In the outside
husk of rice. Lack of these necessary
food constituents results In various
Ills scurvy, beri-beri, and other dis
eases. In fact, the Importance of the anti
scorbutic factor was discovered purely
accidentally, as r. result of an epidem
ic of berl-beri among the rlce-eatlng
Eastern nations after modern milling
methods obtained in these countries
and the surface layer of the rice was
removed. When an extract of this
husk was eventually supplied, the dis
ease was prevented.
Lack of both the other types of vlta
mlne result In a gradual wasting

soluble vltamlne, Is accompanied by
blindness and often by lung trouble,

FURTHER USES FOR RADIUM
Its Employment In Pottery Is Said to
Be Productive of Results of
Great Benefit.
Water containing radioactive com
pounds Is used as u curative agcnl for
certain Illnesses. Mere contact with
such compounds for a sudlclent length
of time will make water slightly radio
active. Pottery Is now manufactured which
has In It a small percentage of radio
active material. This is mixed with
the clay and baked In the kiln. Water
left In pottery of this nature for a
short lime will become radioactive by
"Induction," mid a health-giving drink
Is made.
Such water may also be employed In
(lie watering of plants with good re
sults, since the presence of a radioac
tive compound near the loots of a
plant Is very helpful to Its growth.
