EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the 29th of a series of timely articles by Dr. Morris Fishbein on “Food | Truths and Follies,” dealing with such much discussed but little known subjects as calories, vita- mins, minerals, digestion and bal- anced diet, * * * By DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor, Journal of the American Medical Association ‘When our knowledge of vitamins first began to develop it was taken for granted that the vitamins found in the fresh fruits and vegetables could be had in equal amounts by taking canned, pickled or preserved substances. However, later investigation showed that vitamin C, the anti-scurvy vita- min, could be modified considerably or perhaps eliminated entirely by sub- mitting it to oxidation. Oxidation occurs when such fruits and vege- tables are cooked in open kettles on a stove, and does not occur to nearly So great an amount when such sub- stances are cooked urider high pres- sure in sealed cans, as is done in the commercial cooking process. The only means of finding out how much vitamin C, or indeed any other vitamin, may be present in food is to test it on an experimental animal. If the animal is given a diet with- out any vitamin C in it, it will die of acute scurvy in 25 days. If such ani- mals are put on scurvy-producing diets and are then fed the protective substances, it is possible to tell by the response of the animal about how New York, Aug. 31.—Having be- come suddenly trout-conscious, due to an impending vacation, I learn that, New York and its environs contains nod of the world’s most avid fishing fans. The stream fishermen, of whom there are many famous gentlemen of wealth, maintain exclusive clubs and scores of eminent executives are high in the ranks of tricky fly casters. The Beaverkill and Willowemoc, in the Catskills, are the particularly Popular streams. * # % In one sports goods store, I heard an interesting tale about a club just outside of Roscoe, New York. There is a guide who has become famous for his knowledge of good pools and riffles, and whose prowess as @ troutsman is widely talked about among sportsmen. His name is Rob- bins, and not so many years ago he was @ wealthy and prominent busi- ness man who had come to this club as @ guest year upon year. Suddenly his fortune was wiped out. He turned about for something to do—and de- cided to think it over while fishing, He became an expert guide, has a first-rate income—and is happy. ee * Roscoe has one very special char- acter, however, about whom fish stories are spun. He is Frank Gris- wold, and he never fishes. But he likes to believe all the stories he hears about the “big ones that go away.” A few years ago, he decided to see that “big ones” could be found in the stream. He has his own trout farm on the side. When the fish reach the length of 10 inches or better he Puts them in the stream “for the other boys.” Which reminds me that up in the Catskill belt there’s another trout fan who has private theories about diet. For years he’s been experimenting with special menus which he believes will make the trout larger and fatter. Few fishermen agree with his theories, but he goes on, season after scason, providing the fishes with rare sea tid-bits. Gramercy Park, in mid-Manhat- tan, has one of the most meticulous fishermen of them all. In one of the handsome old early Gotham man- sions he ties his own files and will not accept the store variety. He in- vents innumerable gadgets for luring the unwary trout. But “club” fishing in the New York belt is not within the means of @ working gent. Many of them ask from $2,000 upward for membership, and private preserves receive from $250 to $500 for the right to fish in certain territories. ‘The town milkman, I once was told, Daily Health Service ( Lemon Juice Is Especially Rich In Vitamin C Content Raw Fruits and Vegetables Lose Value in Cooking much of the substance is necessary to save its life. Thus the scurvy- preventing factor can be standardized. Lemon juice is known to be one of the richest substances in content of vitamin C, However, most attempts to pack lemon juice for sale have re- sulted in the destruction of the vita- min quality. Recently British inves- tigators named J. Williams and J. W. Corran have attempted to preserve lemon juice with various added sub- stances. They find that the reaction of the bottled lemon juice is of im-: Portance in maintaining its content of vitamin C. They found that the addition of lemon rind oil, of sodium benzoate, or of formic acid did not save the vitamin C. Indeed the latter two substances exerted a destructive ac- tion. Oil of cloves had a destructive action and sucrose failed to save the vitamin. The addition of a very small amount of hydrochloric acid in order to overcome the alkalinity of the lemon juice enabled the saving of the anti-scurvy activity for 14 months. Here then is the beginning of evi- dence which may lead to suitable methods of preserving vitamin C in canned and packed products of the cltrous fruits. Canned tomatoes, strawberries and other fresh vege- tables are rich in vitamin C and are now used regularly in the feeding of infants whose diets are deficient in this substance. Thus far, it has not been possible to develop a lemon juice that contained a vitamin C fac< tor in usable quantities. f BARBS f Recent governmental upsets in Great Britain indicate the country does not like to place all its eggs in one cabinet, * e & “Begin Fresh Drive On Crime Ele- ment,” says a headline in a New York newspaper.

The street car which transport- ed her to Broad and Hanover streets was as crowded as usual. The hours of dictation and tran- scribing Mr. Cunnnigham’s letters were exactly as tedious. Even the interruptions were customary routine, And then at 11:45, her usual lunch hour, Norma Kent put on her little black hat at the becom- ing, tilted angle, dusted her nose and chin with a small powder puff and rode down to the first floor in the elevator, She went out on the street, turned the corner at the right on her way to the sandwich counter where almost daily she lunched. With faint annoyance she be- came aware that a figure was keeping step beside her. Norma walked more rapidly. The figure quickened to the same degree. Suddenly the girl stopped and looked up. She opened her mouth but the words did not come. Flam- never going I do until We've ‘What- For the life yi her Norma Gal Ft er an indignant 8 ho said. “Beautiful day, isn’t it? I was wondering how long it would be before you decided to send me about my business. You're not going to do it, though. Lunch- ing alone is so tiresome, You're lunching with me today.

It was all she could do to quell the surge of eagerness in her tone.

He kept her amused all the way to the eating place. There they found chairs at a counter painted bright blue. They ordered coffee and toasted sandwiches and fresh fruit. Trav- ers was entertaining. Norma had never met anyone with whom it was so easy to feel at home. “Just a minute!” she interrupt ed his discourse. ‘Would you mind telling me who in the world you are? Aside from rescuing stray puppies and trailing de- fenseless working girls what do you do?” She had expected an answer as ridiculo: the youth's earlier remarks. Instead he said serious- ly, “Oh, I’ve got a job in a real estate office down the street “Really? What do you do?” “Errands mostly. And trying to make columns of figures come out right.

He seemed rather cer- tain that it would be but prom- ised to telephone around six o'clock. Suddenly Norma looked at the clock and saw that it was after 12:30. She must be back at her desk at 12:45. They arose and Travers was unable to persuade her to let hin®pay her check. ‘The roadster belonging to Mark ‘Travers’ “uncle” made its appear- ance before the red brick apart- ment house that night. It was there the following evening as well. During the next six days Norma met Travers for luncheon five times.

Across the room in a miserable lttle huddle on the davenport lay Chris’ roommate. “Why, Norma! What’s hap- pened?” {-.A blond head, wildly disar- rayed, raised.
