THE ljact that canned foods re-
I tain a greater proportion of
their vitamins than foods cooked
in open containers and exposed
to oxygen by the ordinary home
methods has been fully demon
strated by many great scientists.
But what are vitamins? Vitamins
are “it”—that great and significant
word first used in its modern
quoted meaning by the writer,
Elinor Glyn.
“It” a Definite Thing
When you say that an actress
or a reigning beauty has “it” you
have paid her the highest compli
ment contained in our modern
vocabulary. “It” is that which
moves, stimulates and inspires.
“It” is that without which there
can be no growth, success or even
life. There is nothing like “it,”
Bad there is no substitute for it.
Better Breakfasts
PERHAPS you are particular—
overly so—early in the morn
ing. And possibly you are a bit
proud of being difficult to please.
You would like to breakfast at
an Interesting table, cheerful with
sunshine and flowers, and have
placed before you berries from
your own, or neighboring bushes,
grilled fish from far Norway or
the blue Pacific, preserves of
quince such as delighted ancient
Greek and Roman emperors.
Not so difficult. Nor do you de
mand too much, in this age of
convenience. There are new and
inexpensive table linens of rough
weave for breakfast settings.
Choose one of sunny quality which
gives a mellow charm to the table;
and place your bowl of flowers or

“Vitamins,” that scientist, Dr.

though they have not yet been

case with sugar and salt, they are

THE ONE OR THE MANY
• —■
Almost everybody has at some
time been asked such a question as,
“If you were in a boat with you wife
and your mother and the boat cap
sized and you could save one or the
other but not both women, which
should you rescue?” And that’s a
“horns of the dilemma” question, the
“between the devil and the deep
sea” sort of predicament to consid
er. A parallel question in another
phase has been raised in railroad
circles. An engineer is at the throt
tle; hundreds of passengers are in
the coaches behind him; a railroad
worker steps out unexpectedly on
the track ahead; there is not time
to stop the train without fearful
danger to the passengers in a prob
able derailment and wreck; should
the engineer consider first the safety
of the lives of his passengers or the
chance of saving the life of the fel
low worker on the track? This ques
tion has been decided by a New
York court. It came up in a contest
for damages by the widow of a work
er who was hit by a passenger tiain.
In the lower court the widow obtain
ed a verdit, first for $20,000 and
later on a second trial of SIO,OOO
and now on appeal the lower court
is reversed and the higher court
holds that the engineer’s first duty
was for the safety of the great num
ber of passengers in the train he
was driving rather than to avoid hit
ting the worker on the track. Sa

PLANS TO BEAT

R. C. STEPHENSON been built up and
it would ta k o
years to do so. At best this plan could
only become effcctivo at some indefinite
time in tho future ns against the re
turn of another catastrophe of general
unemployment. Others look upon unem
ployment as purely an economic prob
lem, holding that the only fundamen
tal preventive is in business stability.
It may well bo asked whether either
of theso cures—namely, tho creation of
unemployment insurance funds on the
ono hand or the maintenance of ever
lasting business stability on the other
—do not present in themselves bigger
problems than the problems they seek
to cure. However I am inclined to
tho belief that the more practical ap
proach to tho solution of such prob
lems and the prevention of such situa
tions as general unemployment pre
sents is along the latter lines of eco
nomic foresight rather than along
lines of social legislation.
National Foresight
Economic foresight is conceivable not
only for the individual but for busi
ness as a whole. Millions of indi
viduals and virtually all lines of in
dustry failed to practice it during the
last stages of the recent prosperity.
The public welfare of the United
States demands that industry as a
whole vigorously and sincerely devote
itself to the development of plans of
economic foresight, aimed to prevent
repetitions of the present unemploy
ment situation. The general outlines
for such plans a"e clearly definable.
They demand that industry adopt a
long range viewpoint and lay out its
production and distribution plans with
the thought that it is far better to
have a long period of good sound busi
ness activity than a short period of
frantically over-competitive endeavor.
This would tend to lessen over-pro
duction in various lines, to prevent
over-expansion of plant capacity, to
avoid over-stimulation of rublic buy
ing and above all to avoid periods of
slumps and stagnation following pe
riods of over-stimulation with their
disasters of unemployment.
For business, too, there is a part
in such a conception of economic fore
sight. It should aim to cooperate with
industry in its endeavor to avoid reck
less over-production, over-stocking and
over-selling the public.
In this picture of national economic
prudence, banking and finance, too,
have their place. Their effort should
be to influence the use of credit and
other financial facilities into channels
of sound public economy consistent
with the attitude I have already
sketched for industry and trade. All
finance, whether current commercial
banking or industrial investment
banking, should seek by their influ
ence in granting or w'itholding credit
to stimulate and build up a balanced
economic situation.
The Individual Must Help
Finally, the individual too has a place
in any such plan of a sounder eco
nomic future for the United States.
It is the duty of the individual to
make every effort to take care of him
self and provide for himself. Neither
government nor industry can do that
for him. They can give him the op
portunity to succeed but they can't
succeed for him. He must out of his
own initiative and effort earn and
create his own means and defenses
against the requirements and contin
gencies of life.
Individual determination to provide
against sickness, accident and death
by insurance before indulgences in
extra comforts and luxuries are given
place in the family budget, and indi
vidual responsibility to guard against
the contingency of unemployment by
means of a sound program of thrift
and savings are to my mind the true
foundation of economic stability for
the United States as a whole.
A limestone spreader, owned by a
bank in Illinois is rented out to farm
ers for ten cents a ton, and also a
phosphate spreader at five cents a ton.
The “limestone project” was the prin
cipal contribution of the bank to
banker-farmer work, during 1930, and
was carried on in cooperation with the
Farm Bureau. A man trained in the
testing of soil, and in the making of
soil maps was employed by the bank.
The unit maps used covered forty
acres, on which 23 surface tests were
made at mathematical points. At five
other points three tests were made —
surface, sub-surface, and sub-soil. The
completed map showed, by varying
shading3 of red, the points which
needed limestone. Arrangements were
also made by the bank to have lime
stone shipped in in car lots for sale

FAULT-FINDING CHURCH
MEMBERS
(By Mrs. W. J, Davidson, in
Wesleyan Advocate)
Folks join the church and pay their
dues,
But never think of attending.
And as time rolls round the church
has found
In these there is no dependence.
They seem to think if their dues they
pay
It fills their obligation;
They seem to miss, somehow, that
this
Was just the mere foundation.
And when it comes to doing work
They always count on the others.
(And by the way, in this, I’H say,
They have n lot of brothers).
And when they ask for volunteers
To give some work attention,
It wasn’t these who said, “I will!”
They scarcely need to be men
tioned.
Well, time moved on. They didn’t
change,
(They also did some kicking).
And then, alas! it came to pass
With sickness they were stricken;
And as they lay in cruel pain,
From which the church could free
them,
They sobbed and sighed and wond
ered why
So few members called to see
them.
Oh, when will people come to learn,
Lest they, themselves, have striv
en,
To do their bit—when trouble comes,
Help won’t to them be given?
It’s just as true as truth can be,
We see it every minute—
Life won’t return when we don’t
earn
But just what we’ve put in it.
Listen to me a moment, church
members,
Let consecration be your fee;
And consider, at your leisure,
Things that shortly are to be.
Sin on every hand arising,
And the Master calleth for thee,
Some weak brother your life is
watching;
This, I am sure, you will agree.
God alone can save the sinner,
He alone can shield the soul;
In happiness or tribulation,
He must then have full control.
All He wants is your surrender,
Nothing then can harm your
soul—
He will hold, protect and shield you,
While the judgment thunders roll.
THE BOYS WE LIKE
The boy who never makes fun of
old age, no matter how decrepit or
unfortunate or evil it may be. God’s
hand rests lovingly on the aged
head.
The boy who never calls anybody
names, no matter what anybody calls
him.
The boy who is never cruel.
The boy who never lies. Even
white lies leave black spots on the
character.
The boy who never makes fun of a
companion because of a misfortune
he could not help.
The boy who never hesitates to
say “No” when asked to do a wrong
thing.
The boy who never forgets that
God made him to be a joyous, loving,
helpful being. The Philadelphia
Ledger.
WHAT FASHIONABLE GIRL OF
1869 WORE
An Atlanta fashion expert has dug
up some records of 18G9 which give
the following list as a proper “out
ing costume” for the flapper of that
day.”
“Boots, stockihgs, garters, silk un
xderdress, satin corset, corset cover,
chemise, cambric hoop skirt, puffed
hair cloth pannier, flannel under
skirt, cambric underskirt, umbrella,
velvet walking suit, and a hat.”
The modern girl—oh well, there
are several items in the list which
she usually omits, according to best
advices. And that is not all. The
expert doubts that the modern girl
even knows what some of those
things really are—and who cares!

A citizen who was seven years in
arrears for his home paper, who had
never had a good word to say for the
editor, and who was always opposed
to public improvements, was dying,
so the latest story runs. “How do
you feel?” asked the editor, who was
on hand to write the obituary. “All
looks bright before me,” gasped the
dying man. “I thought so,” returned
the editor, “you’ll see the blaze in
about ten minutes.” —The Kable

Bird Of A Fih Story; Owl Swallows
A Hook
Hartford, Ala.—Dr. C. F. Davis
told this fish story and presented
proof to support it: While fishing
on the hanks of the Choctawhatehee
river under a giguntic cypres tree
he made n mighty cast and the arti

Just then something swooped down
from the cypres tree and caught the
minnow in midair. Dr. Davis pulled
in his catch after a terifie battle. It
was a large horned owl. He had the

Men Keep Hat* On In Charlotte
Elevator*
Charlotte, N. C. —The old south
ern custom of men removing their
hats when riding with women in
elevators, was tabood here Thursday.
Signs in most elevators in office
buildings read:
“Men are asked to please keep
their hats on. Removing hat re
duces elevator capacity and creates
confusion. Thinking women will
welcome this. It offers no disre

Boy Without Feeling I* Scalded To
Death Unaware Of Hi* Pain
Buffalo, N. Y.—Joseph Majtyka, 6.
is dead from severe burns, although
he suffered no pain from the injur

Since birth, Joseph’s legs, although
apparently normal, had been affect

Sunday, while taking a bath, the
youth was badly scalded, but felt no
pain.
He died at City Hospital unaware
that he suffered from first and sec

Bolt Kill* Worker In Power
1 Station
Americus, Ga.—J. B. Ellison, 26,
an employe of the Georgia Power
Company at Americus, was accident
ally killed here last Friday.
The accident occurred during a
vivid electric storm. Ellison was in
stantly killed when wires leading in
to the substation on Lee street
brought in lightning at the instant
he placed anew fuse into a con
nection that had been destroyed only
a few minutes before, the charge
being of sufficient intensity to
“jump” the opening and form an
arc with extremely high voltage.
Daughter, 100, Re*ist Spanking By
Mother, 128
Jackson, Miss.—An entire century
of spanking by her mother was too
much for Laura Jane Stone, at Holly
Springs, Miss., and the last time she
felt the force of parental hand, the
other day, she summoned police.
The daughter, 100 years old, re
ceived the spanking from her moth
er, Mrs. Minerva Stone, 128 years
old, allegedly because the daughter
refused to pay “an honest debt” of
75 cents she owed her mother.
No charges were preferred by of
ficers against the elder woman, be
cause “she was too old to stand
them.”
The mother hotly contended to
the police that “law or no law” she
intended to spank her children
whenever they were naughty.

ford, of the city court.
Immediately after the jury was
discharged, Sharp entered a plea of
guilty to the charge against him,
after which sentence was passed by
the court.
ROOSEVELT CALLS
FOR WAR AGAINST
INFANTILE PARALYSIS
Warm Springs, Ga. -G .vornor
Franklin D. Roosevelt, of New York,
today issued a call to “the trustees,
the present patients, the former pa
tients, and the friends of tho Geor
gia Warm Springs Foundation” to
join together in “one vart national
crusade against infantile paralysis.”
Advocating the e. lablishment
throughout the country of centers
where “convalescent serum” may be
available and of easy access to reg
istered practicing physicians, Gover
nor Roosevelt commented on the lack
of knowledge among members of the
medical profession of the serum
treatment of infantile paralysis.
“The medical staff of the founda
tion continually comes in contact
with cases where the doctors have
not even known of the existence of
tho serum,” said the governor’s
statement. “Again, many ol them
know of the serum, hut do not know
where to turn to find it when the
need comes. And . . . the time ele
ment is most crucial.”
EAT VELVET BEANS FOR TEN
DAYS AND GAIN IN WEIGHT
There are oodles of formulae for
reducing, hut here’s a good one for
gaining weight, and from the looks
of things it is most effective. Ever
try eating velvet beans? Well, T.
J. Clark, negro, who farms near
Girard, Ga., can serve as proof of
the pudding, or beans.
Last week Clark visited the office
of his home county newspaper to
make a purchase, and the editor, ob
serving his golf ball appearance,
intimated that the depression had
certainly not dealt harshly with him.
He replied by saying:
“Well, if you’d been ratin’ what I
been eatin’ you’de be fat, too.”
A question as to the nature of his
secret diet brought forth the reply
that he had been eating velvet beans
—one quart a day—and that in 10
days he had gained 50 pounds. Be
lieve it or not.
He said there was considerable
soaking and boiling connected with
the preparation of his velvet beans
for the table, but that after the dish
was served he could “make a hog”
out of himself devouring them. —

PRAYER
Prayer is the unburdening of our
heavy hearts where we know they
have been fully anticipated by the
learnings of an infinite compassion;
the laying of our perplexities to
toward a light which we know must
arise upon them, and which, until it
comes, will send peace that they may
be borne; the lifting of our sin to a
Love which we know seeks to par
don us, and whose pardon is there
fore our most just as it is our most
eager hope.—George Matheson.
