Foos That Makntain
I ealth,
'It is not long ago since we thought
that we knew all there was to be
known about food.
Scientists told us that if we ate daily
certain definite proportions of what
they termed, in a knowing way, pro-
teids, carbohydrates, fate, and salts,
we should live well aid happily ever
afterwards. .
The first of these imposing looking
and sounding words simply means
foods containing nitrogen, such as
meat, fish, eggs, peas, beans, etc.; the
second includes edibles composed of
starch, or sugar. Fats and salts speak
for themselves.
But It has recently been discovered'
that there is a great deal more in the
constituents of tb.ese various classes
of food than 'meets the eye or tiokles
the palate. It is now quite obvious
that complete nutrition does not de-
pend only on such food elements as I
have just mentioned. A diet contain-
ing sufficient quantities of all the
above-mentioned nutritive substances
is now found to be deficient if it is
lacking in certain hitherto unknown
and rather mysterious compounds, one
kind of .which we can vitamines.
It is only recently thin these vita:
Trines have been- isolated in a crystal-
line form from certain constituents of
familiar foods, in which they are pre-
sent in very small amounts. It is he-
- lievecl now that this so-called vitamine
is only one of several as yet undis-
covered' compounds neces'.ary for com-
plete nutrition.
Everybody is, of course, aware that
all animals, vegetables, fruits, or other
living organisms, eatable and uneat-
able, contain either life-giving or
death -dealing elements. Take, for in-
stance, the common or garden bean;
that supplies us with a vitamine or
life-giving compound. On the other
hand, there is the East Indian bean,
which yields us the deadly poison
strychnine. •
As far removed from each other as
the Poles are the vivifying pineapple
and the poisonous poppy. And so on
throughout the entire range of the
animal and vegetable kingdoms. Fresh
meat contains 'vitamines: animal food
en theturn, ptomaines. What is not
.fur us is against us.
V it nines, then, 'etre as brilliantly
vital as, the active principles of such
'vegetable matter as strychnine are
'deadly. They are accumulated in a
relatively greater,- amount in some
1 stuffs, and vegetable a stn s, sach asyeasts,. the outer covering of rice, bar-
ley, wheat, etc., the brain, the heart,
and the eggs of mammals and birds.
The striking curative and disease -pre-
venting dualities of these foodstnfs
are due to this circumstance.
The richness of the raw egg in vita -
mines explains its place as the great
"stand-by" in the sick -room, in cases
where human vitality has sunk to a
low ebb: and in this category may be
placed also fresh milk and live oys-
ters.
These, not suite fully understood,
fife -giving compounds are believed to
act upon the processes of nutrition.
Their absence, or 'scarcity seems to
interfere with the' complicated pro-
cesses of tissue -change, with the wear -
and -tear and upkeep of the bodily
structure.
It used to be believed that scurvy,
at one time the curse of the Navy, was
snply due to the eating of consider-
able quantities of "salt junk." But it
e -as not so much the presence of so
much salt in the dietary as the total
ebectics of fresh vegetables that was
the essential. cause of the disease.
Tho introduction of lime -juice put an
end to these outbreaks of scurvy. It
Is only to -day that we know that the
nurative value of fresh vegetables and
fruit juice is chin to the vitamines
they contain.
Again, beri-beri is a alisease attend-
ed by great wasting of the body, con-
tracted by those who live largely on
rice which has been deprived of its
outer coating, i.e., polished rice. This
polished rice has been deprived of its
vitamine coat, and thus becomes a
tleath-d'ealing food.
It is important to note that vita -
mince are easily destroyed by long
storage, long heating and cooking.'
Hence the importance, in any dietary,
of fresh, uncooked vegetables, fruits,
'etc. Decent experiments tend to de-
monstrate that animal fats are much
richer in vitamines than vegetable
Pais.

Or over the housetops, storming, cry
To the ghostly • dark and the starless

"Life is' sweet as life is long;
With never a sigh or a farewell song:
Life is laughter, and life is play,
And the Dark will dream itself away!`"
That's the song the Fire sang to you,
There—where the Mother was singing
too.
It is singing the same old song to -night
To the wintry dreamer, with temples

After the years, rain dark with tears—
After lost dreams of the beautiful

For the singing Fire has never known
That the listening dreamer dreams

Why They Are Coupled.
Locomotives would not be able to
pull their "loads, especially on wet or
slippery rails, unless the large wheels
were "coupled" by side -rods.
The pulling power of a locomotive
depends on its "adhesion"—that is, the
weight that comes on the driving -
wheels, and makes them grip the
rails. By coupling two or more pairs
of wheels together, the force of the
cylinders is caused to revolve them
all in -unison, and much more of the
weight of the_locomotive is utilized
for adb.esion.
That is why engines for heavy
goods have often eight coupled wheels,
and sometimes twelve.
