THE DAILY NEBRASKAN
PROF. WARSHAW TALKS
TO FIRST YEAR GROUP
(Continued from laiio One)
uncivilized Indians and Spanish plant
ers as we are load to believe by the
old time geographies, llueiios Aires,,
the largest lity in South America, Is
situated In Argentine and lias at pies
ent a population of well over a million
und a lml f. It started from an in
auspicious beginning but at present it
lias a fair chance of surpassing every
city in the new world except perhaps
New York and Cliicag.). according to
l'rcfessor Warshaw. It has the larg
est, most completely equipped and
best newspaper in the world, not ex
cluding either those of New York or
London. This newspaper is housed
in a three million dollar building and
has pulled off some of the most orig
inal schemes that have ever been at
tempted by any organization of the
kind. There also is located a twenty
million dollar opera house which
charges all the way up to one hundred
dollars for a single box and is able to
offer such good contracts that the
'opera houses of New York, London
and Paris have hard work securing
high grade artists. An even better one
is located at Mexico City.
"The charitable work in lluenos
Aires is largely carried on by the pro
ceeds from the horse race betting,''
said Professor Warshaw. "The Jockey
club which owns the racing stadium
turns a good share of the proceeds
into the hands of an organization .of
sixty women which uses it as the
need arises. It is estimated that these
sixty women handle yearly about six
million dollars. Through all the long
years of political changes and trials
there has never been a charge of graft
been brought against these women and
the arrangement is probably the best
ill the world even if Kuropean and
American morals might be a little
shocked upon contemplating the
source of the funds."
So many chance tourists have stop
ped off in South America and then
returned home to write books on the
unsanitary conditions prevalent there.
Professor Warshaw strongly repud
iated this. Or. Mayo on his recent
trip through the once fever infested
regions of C hili, dei la'.vs that the
work that has been done is sotneihin :
wonderful. The native doctors have
I'oen mainly trained in Kuropean or
American schools and they have just
as much ability to handle their prob
lems as anoue. This sinit.iry work
has been largely helped by the Amer
ican Kockcicliow instil ut ion.
We seem to think here that tin
South American countries are far be
hind in sociological reforms. It is al
most the oilier way around in many
cases and Kurope is merely follow
ing South Amorha's had. IHsarma
ment agre no nts and leagues of na
tion- were formed between the big
countries of South America long be
fore the Paris treaty was signed or
the Washington conference called.
Prohibition is one of the main politi
cal questions there while it is hardly
being discussed in Kurope. l'aupeis
are rarely see n even in l'in nos Aires,
while beggars are the rule in some
of the capitol cities of the world.
quutely trained to protect the public
against bucIi adulteration. The scien
tific treating and production of drug
plants is in its infancy. The produc
tion of synthetic drugs for both
medicinal and Industrial purposes of
fers a field of unlimited possibilities.
Today immense salaries are being of
fered men who are trained In the
knowledge of the drug market and
drug geography of the world. The
pharmaceutical manufacturing inter
ests are now seeking scientific men
who have been adequately trained to
solve the problems of these interests.
The basement cf the building Is oc
cupied by a fully equipped pharmacu
tical manufacturing plant, a dispens
ing laboratory, and a laboratory used
for the physilogical standardization
of drugs. The first floor is devoted
exclusively to pharmacy and the top
floor to pharmacognosy, pharma
cology, physiology and the executive
offices. In the roomy attic of the
building there is built a plant for the
curing 'and preserving of crude drug
plants. This location is ideal because
of the lack of moisture.
With the clearing of the campus
tin- pharmacutical garden will be in-
( leased in size nnd plans are being
laid to develop it in such a way that
plants may be grown under any and
all conditions thus making it a great
living drug plant laboratory. In do
ing this work the University will not
forget what it owes to retail phar
macy in the state and will constantly
seek to prepare young men and
women in the best possible way for
professional work in the retail store.
Tin1 College of Pharmacy must broad
en its field of action and concern it
self with all phases of pharmacutical
endeavor, whether scientific, profes
sional or commercial.

was carried on under extremely ad
verse conditions. During this time,,
however, there was developed the
Prug Plant Garden, which has at
tracted the most favorable comment
throughout the country and has done
much toward placing this institution
in its present class. 'With the com

By Prcf. J. B. Burt
The subject of vitaniines, represent
ing the most recent advance along
pharmaceutical lines, is of particular
iniercst at the present time, not only
because they are being discussed so
widely in pharmaceutical and medical
lite rature, but also in the lay maga
zines und the daily press. The rath
er extensive advertising of certain
commercial organizations manufactur
ing products purported to contain vi
tamine.s has also tended to gain the
interest of the public in these sub
stances. The medical profession has been
familiar with a numer of diseased
conditions which could not be as
cribed to any known cause, ajid a
great many of those, in the light of
recent discoveries, can now be classed
under the general heading "vitamine
deficiency" diseases. Literature and
history record many instances of such
conditions. In "The Tale or the
North," Jaok London recites an inci
dent where the early pioneers in Alas
ka were affected during the winter
months by scurvy, which was fatal in
Its effects until it was discovered that
the eating of raw potatoes with the
diet, brought about a cure. As soon
as this fact became generally known,
the potatoes became as valuable us
the gold sought by the pioneers. At
the time this story was written, no
satisfactory explanation for the cura
tive action of potatoes was known
Now, it can be explained by savins
that the raw potatoes simply supplied
the vitaniines which were lacking in
the diet.
During the Russian-Japanese war,
sailors of the Japanese Navy were at
tacked by a disease and a large pro
portion died from its effects. Upon
investigation by the medicul officers
it was decided that the disease was
the same as one described by a Rus
sian physician previous to tne wai,
in which a diet of unpolished rico
had effected a cure, ip until tins
time the diet ot tne striciion men iiuu
consisted largely of polished rice, and
when the unpolished rice was sub
stituted, it was found in a majority
of the cases that recovery followed
within a short time. It would seem
that the most of the essential viia
mines, which lie, for the most part,
very closely associated with the seed
coat, wore lost during the polishing
process. The scientific study of these
substances began following this inci
dent. Most of the investigators arc in
agreement that in order for food to
be effective, it must conlaine the vi.a
mines in proper proportions, in order
that life processes may go on nor
mally. I'p to the present time, throe
clases of vitaniines have been dis
covered, known as: Fat soluble a;
Water soluble 15; and Water soluble
C. It has been well established that
each ot tnese types nears a ueuiuie
relation to nutrition and that all three i
must be present in the body for best
results. Experiments upon rats and
other animals have furnished a groat
deal of information as to the symp
toms produced by the lack of each of
the three types.
Vitaniines are found rather widely
distributed among the substances used
for food, but due to the instability of
these compounds, and the methods ot
preparation of foods, si large propor
tion of these are destroyed before
they enter the body. It has been
shown that the vitamine content of
foods is affected by the modern can
ning process, by boiling, or heating
to boiling, cooking, etc. Water solu
ble n is completely destroyed if the
hi nt, is .maintained for two hours or
more. Fat soluble A is injured at
least partially and WaU-r soluble C Is
destroyed in a short time.
The opinion is hold by seme author
ities that the vitaniines act as catyl
Izers and that the mere presence of
those substances enables the system
to properly absorb the food. From a
therapeutical standpoint, they are val
liable in the treatment of diseases of
malnutrition and in such disorders as
rickets, beri-borl, pallagra and scurvy
and in the convalescence from acute
infectious diseases.
NEW CLUB WILL
TAKE DEFINITE .
FORM THIS WEEK
(Continued from rage One)
One object of the organization is to
discourage any feeling in the state,
that its university Is a playground fo,
students after finishing high school.
Tills feeling has been found In certain
towns of tho stale and it is the rep
resentatives from these towns that
will do their homes an educational
good, and make the university an at
traction. "Boost 'and discourage the
knockers" will be the byword of the
organization, and the old Unl will be
boosted to the skys If necessary to
make it a place that Nebraska stu
dents will like to come to.
A copy of tho Rag will be posted
on tho bulletin boards of the different
buildings, giving the rooms where the
different towns will meet. The senior

a great help in making Alumni week

Instruction" to schools and school patrons. All found the work INTERESTING, EDUCATIVE, BROAD
ENINO, and REMUNERATIVE, as well as a big service to their fellow-men.
This summer a larger number will be selected. In each case a gool salary will bo guaranteee,
with liberal commissions. Some will earn $L'0 per day, sonu- 113, some $10, none will be paid less than
tho stipulated salary. Allowance for railroad fare will be made and a chance will be given for a perma
nent connection.
This is a real nnd unusual opportunity, and if you desire to be considered, put in your application
TODAY. Preference given to those who npply FIRST and can work LONGEST. Write NOW for an
