They are primarily food substances which, in small quantities, are es sential to a regular and healthy way of life—a way of life we are now seeking to maintain. Scientific research has unfolded a very enlightening ter of vitamins, that people who which do not amounts, even of find that they are not up to par when on the job, and that there is a lowering of resistance to disease. In the case of children vitamin de ficiency will also cause their growth to be retarded. Official food rules have been care fully planned in such a way as to assure a balanced diet. By observ ing these simple rules every day, people can enjoy a variety of food which will provide all the vitamins that build and maintain strong, heatliy bodies. Ignoring these basic foods means ignoring the laws of nature. To renew acquaintances with the various members of the vitamin family we point out the prominence given by the <air force in their diet to prevent night blindness or “dim- out.” This vitamin A is found in leafy, green and yellow vegetables (carrots), butter. Vitamin preventing eye and indigestion and, same time, gives the appetite a lift is known as the “morale” vitamin.
