CRITICISM
Justly to discriminate, firmly
to establish, wisely to prescribe,
and honestly to award — these
are the true aims and duties of
criticism.—Simms.
VITAMIN C LACKING
It has been found that spring
weariness, often called “spring
fever,” comes from a lack of
vitamin C. One reason Is that
foods like potatoes, cabbage, ap
ples, canned tomatoes and oth
er vegetables gradually lose their
vitamin C as they stay In stor
age. Citrus products should be
put on the menu. They are rich
In vitamin C.
