The Seaforth News, 1945-01-11, Page 7WHAT SCIENCE IS ,GO'ING Vitamin Pills Vitamin _pills had a severe joke played on them at Duke Universi- ty's School of Medicine recently, says the Christian Science Monit- or. So did those who indiscrimin- ately dose themselves with vitam- ins. At the request of the Quarter- master General of the United States; Army 200 volunteer medical students and technicians offered themselves as guinea pigs for 80 days. They were divided into five groups,' four groups being •given varying' quantities of vitamins, and the fifth group being given nothing tut inert pills with no medicinal' or vitamin value. Two doctors who conducted the experiment said, at the end of the time, that they found the same beneficial effect on the "'pep" and health of the group giv- en the dummy pills as on those who took vitamins! They, added: It has been implied that, even when no demonstrable' deficien- ey exists, one's sense of well- being and ability to perform work can be improved greatly bythe addition of vitamins to te diet... There is at present ao &onclusive evidence to sub- stantiate this point of view. We venture to assume that their llndings will not be widely quoted k vitamin advertisements.

Major working for hint at a training camp. Maj. George E. Sargent recent- ly was appointed special services officer of the AAF training com- mand station. In the athletic de- partment is T/Sgt, Steven Major, who is the sergeant major, non- commissioned o mrssioned officer in charge of the office. In an appearance at a boxing show there, Maj. Sargent compli- cated the major situation. He called Sgt. Major, the sergeant major, (are you following?) into the ring to stand at his side. "During your travels around this training camp," said the Ma- jor over the alike, "you'll probably see a lot of us. I am Maj. Sargent. This soldier'at my side is Sgt, Ma- jor. If you call either df us 'Major' you'll be right. If you call either of us 'sergeant' — you'll be• right." "But," he added, 'be careful what you call these second lieutenants!"
