Newell got a big surprise when they
tackled an elm) tree to augment their
fuel supply. They thought they would
have 6 or 7 cords apiece for their t
labour's, but now that the tree is fell-
ed, cut and measured, they find that
it produced 23 cords of 13 inch wood.
The tree grew near the London
bridge "and was one of those stately
old elms that was anchored to the
ground by a Sive foot butt. Ten
blocks of this butt wood made '3
cords of wood and three of the blocks'
a cord. — Wingham Advance -Times.

VITAMINS ARE FACTS
Hello Homemakers! Within re-
cent years the word "vitamin" has
assumed a new and vital signifi-
cance in the lives of people who had
previously given it little, if any,
thought. To -day, the great majority
of active and intelligent homemakers
do realize that it is associtated with
both " sound mind" and "a sound
body."
whilo vitamins cannot be seen.
tasted or measured by weight, they
can be measured chemically. They
are primarily food substances which,
in smill quantities, are essential 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 story in the nat-
ter of vitamins. To -day, we know
that. people who take the foods which
do not supply adequate amounts,
even of one vitamin, may find that
they are not up to par when on the
job, and that there is a lowering of
resistance to disease. Inthe case of
children vitamin deficiency will also
cause their growth to be retarded.

these simple rules every day, people
can enjoy a variety of food which
will provide all the vitamins that

bodies,
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), liver, fish liver oils and
butter,
. Vitamin B-1, which assists in pre-
venting such distresses as pink eye
and indigestion- ancl, at the same
time, gives the appetite a lift is
known as the "morale" vitamin. It is
found in whole -grain cereals such as
wheat germ, cracked wheat, rye,
buckwheat, oatmeal and the (lour'
which has been enriched by these
grains. Dried peas and beans and
lean neat are not so rich in vitamin
B-1.
It is highly important to recognize
the value of wheat germ which can
be served in the morning cup of cof-

bread mixtures.
