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. * W. A. Morgan, 4gst. Chemist. Round trip to EUROPE Why Pay Excessive Rates?

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.

A worthy movement that has the backing of the great number of good people that Georgia has will always go over the top.
