Dried and Pasteurized

Notes
T'hare is good reason to believe that
from 50 to 96 per cent. of the young
children suffer to some degree. from
rielcets—the disease caused by lack
of bone -hardening vitamin D. When it
was discovered shat poverty-stricken
thildrex, of the tropics who play in the
elan are less likely than city ehildren
to have bow -legs --one of the signs of
rickets—it occurret. to Dr. Huldschin-
sky that the ultra -violet rays in sun -
lig -ht must have some effect on bone
formation. He proved his theory by
some striking. experiments with mer-
cury-vapor lamps that emitted ultra-
violet rays.
When Drs. Hess and Steenbock in-
dependently showed that foods which
were not preventives of rickets could
be made potent for that purpose
merely by exposing them to ultra-
violet rays, the case was complete.
Cod-liver oil, for example, owes its
vitamin content to the fact that fish
devour sea food that has been irradi-
ated by the sun. Milk is good be-
cause cows digest grass turned green
by the sun.
Vitamins are affected by the heat.
Pasteurized and dried milk therefore
lose some of their more valuable pro-
perties. For this reason babies fee
on pasteurized milk are always e,.ven
orange juice. It occurred to early in-
vestigators that if pasteurized or
dried milk were subjected to ultra-
violet radiation vitamins would bre
synthesized --especially the antirachi-
tie vitamin D. The experiments were
euccessfuL
INTRODUCING VITAMIN D.
Dr. G. C. Supplee, the director of
an indu:.trial laboratory at Bain-
bridge, N.Y., where the manufacture
of dried milk is scientifically con-
trolled, has now reduced this discov-
ery to commercial practice by stanc'.-
erdizing the exposures. He and his
associates found that the rays do not
penetrate more than a fraction of an
Inch. ` Hence the milk is allowed to
Dow in a very thin layer in the beams
of a carbon arc. Reflectors distribute
the rays evenly, and at constantly
changing angles. The total exposure
does not exceed sixteen seconds — not
Brough to affect the milk chemically.
Dr. Stipplee has thus activated 5,000
quarts of milk an hour at a cost of
one twenty-fifth of a cent to the
quart.
Since it is important to know how
intense the radiation is, Dr. Supplee
makes exact measurements with a
modified photo -electric cell. He i0e5
the cell much as any dairyman would
use the thermometer, but in this case
to control the temperature of the
pasteurization.
The work of Dr. Supplee is impor-
tant because it is now possible for
manufacturers of dried milk and pas
teurizers to sell a uniform product
that will meet the standards set by
physicians so far as its contents •.ri.
itamin le are concerned.
THE BLESSINGS OF DUSTY AIR.
One of the 'stock exhibit:. of com-
nxattees organ'izeo to teach the public
how to avoid contracting tuberculosis
is a pair of miner's lungs, black with
coal dust. Yet that biological revo-
lutionist, Dr. J. B. S. Haldane of
Cambridge University, rather start-
led an audience of physiologists and
bio -chemists at the University of
Michigan by maintaining that dust,
whether coal dust or rock dust, is not
the menace it is commonly supposed
to be.
Rock dust by itself, Dr. Haldane
admits, is a real danger. It consists
of fine particles of silicates, each a
little knife that cuts into lung tissue
sed. this p'xoduces the disease known
es silicosis. But rock dust mixed
with coal dust is no health hazard.
According to Dr. Held:see, coal dust
et]mulates expectoration. As he
clears his lungs and throat the miner
gets rid of the coal dust as well as
the rock dust that may be mixed with
it. In fact the irritation produced by
coal least may actually be a benefit of
warding off silicosis. Gold miners in

consider De. Williams' Pink Pills a
teat blueing to humanity."

eras' Pink Pills is typical of what

Just what constitutes "bete "air," the
subject of Dr. Haldane's Michigan ad-
dress, depends on what the viewpoint
it, VW unquestionably pure air that'
o1ie aviator breathes at 20,000 feet is
'`bad'' in the sense that tri, re is not
enough of it and that it exalts and
leads to reckless acts. Air charged
with rock dust, particles tossed up in
the process of grinding cutlery, -sand,
and minute bits of cotton "fluff" is bail
because, if breathed continually, it
may in uce tuberculosis and pneumo-
nia. Apparently air charged with
limestone and tiourmill dust is snot
"bad" in this sense.
PASTE VS. SCIENCE.
Protests rise_froln gourmets. Good
cooking means cleanliness is itself.
But hygiene! The word smells of
iodoform, carbolic acid, surgical
dressings. A dish hygienically pre-
pared tastes of the laboratory and
not of the kitchen. And the glass
shops with the sterilized air and the
white -clad butchers—must we oe
forever reminded of appendicitis?
Cooking is an t,rt, not a surgical or
chemical procedure. And so the con-
servatives predict that the cordon
bleu will continue to follow the tradi-
tions of cleanliness, give all his
senses a chance to judge the fitness
of fool to be served in a casserole
and leave the fear of bacteria to the
white -tiled food factories, where ma-
chines and thermometers are the real
clocks.

Treatment of Poles
Ottawa.—The tendency of a water-
soluble salt when eat(' as a preserva-
tive against decay to climb up the sap-
wood to the top of the poles when they
are placed in the ground has been the
subject of investigation by the Forest
Products Laboratories of Canada, For-
est Service, Department of the In-
terior. Work conducted in connection
with this investigation indicates that
poles treated with such watersoluble
preservatives as zinc chlorides, are
not !Demme for an indefliiite peelod to
fungous attack in the vicinity of the
ground -line, the Most vluneiable point,

The Token -Heart
By Ralph Wotherspoon in G. K,'s
Weekly (London).
In the old farm chimney
Sane and I espied
A poor shrivelled sb..l.ep's heart,
BIack and mummified. •
Tucked away upon the shelf,
Where the flue begins,
We found a sheep's heart,
Stuck full of pins.
How it cane to he there
None could discover;
Nor who had stuck the piss in: it
To plagr her faithless lover,
Who the jilted maiden was
And who the truant swain,
I could only wonder,
And likewise -Jane. -•
"How she must have sufferedt"
Said Jane with a sigh—
"She probably deserved to,
And more," quoth I.
"When she drove a pin home
Did he feel a pain?"
"I hope not," I answered,
"I hope so!" said Jane --
"1 hope so, I hope so, I HOPE so!"
Said Jane.
A hope unaccompanied with a
godly life had better be given up,
and the sooner the better; for, if re-
tained, it will prove as a spider's web
when God shall take away the soul.
—Aughey.
