HENKI TOUNTY WEEKLY, McDONOUGH. GEORGIA
Vitamins In The Diet
A little more than a decade ago,
the science of nutrition had reach
ed the point at which it was
known that four classes of foods
were necessary to maintain life
and health. These are proteins,
fats, carbohydrates, and sa ts.
Meats, eggs, cure! of milk, etc.,
are proteins. Sugars and starches
are carbohydrates. By salts is
meant mineral matters such as
common salt, iron and phosphorus
compounds, etc.
In feeding experiments on the
white rat, it was discovered that
the lats failed to grow when ted
on a diet of a single purified pro
tein supplemented by foods of
the other three classes in sut'ii
cient amount. Immediate growth
resulted when a food factor found
in milk was added to the diet.
Piior to this, students of the
oriental disease known as beii
beri which is prevalent where the
diet consists largely of polished
rice, had found a curative factor
in the i ice polishings, and called it
a vitamin, or Jife-lactor. The sug
gestion was made that the factor
in milk necessary for growth
might be similar to the anti beri-
Iki i vitamin.
Since 1911 an enormous amount
of investigational work has been
carried out on vitamins, but as
yet they have not been definitely
isolated. However, feeding tests
demonstrated their presence
or absence in certain foods. The
vitamin family at present consists
of fat soluble “A”, water-soluble
“B”, and “C’\
Vitamins “A” and “B” are es
sential to growth. The“B’' vita
min is the anti beri-beii vitamin.
Vitamin “C” prevents scurvy.
Since mild forms of malnutrition
may be considered manifestations
of a deficiency in the diet of vita
min “B”, yeast is often beneficial
since it is one of the sources of
this vitamin. The scurvy problem
is particulaily that of the sailor,
explorer, and army rationer.
Never-the-less, a deficiency of
vitamin “C” may retard growth
and well being while the acute
form of the disease is absent.
The general sources of the vita
mins are as follows; Fat-soluble
“A”:- The most abundant sources
are milk, batter, egg-yolks, and
the green leavds of plants, usual
ly classed as salads. It is present
in considerable quanities in cabb
age, lettuce, spinach, and carrots.
The geim of cereals is fairly
rich in this factor, but the rest of
the grain is deficient. Therefore,
white flours are poorer than
whole meals in this respect.
Cooking temperatures do not des
troy this vitamin. Water-soluble
“B”: The principal sources out
side of yeast are the seeds of
plants, and milk. Beans and peas
contain it. In the cereal grains it
fs largely restricted to ihe embryo
portion which accounts for the
notable deficiency in polished rice.
Fruits, as oranges and lenions, are
good scources. Also tomatoes,
and there is a fair amount in ap
ples and grapes. Potatoes, car
rots, and turnips have it in fair
abundance but beets are almost
without it. Nuts are good sources.
Cooking temperatures up to boil
ing do not destroy ii unless the
water alkaline ns when soda is
used. Heat with alkali rapidly
destroys it although a good per
centage my remain unaffected.
Vitamin “C”: This is very suscep
tible to heat and alkali, and to
drying henee the raw substance
should be eaten. Most prepared
milks are low in it. It’s best
sources are lemons, oranges, to
matoes, raspberries, cabbage, tur
nips and lettuce.
A study of the dietdry habits of
varios sections of the United
States shows that there is a very
general tendency to confine the
food to a meat, potato, and cereal
diet. In general then the adult
needs to review his feeding habits
and analyze them in the light of
our new knowledge. *

To the Citizens of Georgia.
Being a member of the
next Legislature gives me the
first opportunity of trying to
serve our noble State in a wav
that might be profitable to all its
people. I have already prepared
and will introduce a Bill that has
as its purpose the closing up of the
Poolrooms in this State.
Probably less can be said
in defense of public Poolrooms
than any other institution in
Georgia. It is one that contribu
tes absolutely nothing to upbuild

undesirable places having origi

a happy and prosperous common
wealth. •
The very fact that opposi
tion has developed is conclusive
evidence that we shculd be up
and doing. Many a good cause
has been defeated by our believ
ing it too important to need in
dividual attention. A worthy
movement that has the backing of
the great number of good people
that Georgia has will always go
over the top.
The purpose of this is not to
tell you what your duty is, but to
remind vou to act and suggest
that you get in immediate tcuch
with your Representatives and
Senator and let them know how
your community stands regarding
this proposition.
Join me and lets do some
thing worth while.
Respectfully,
Albert j. Woodruff
Representative-elect,
DeKalb County.
