-~ SAYS VITAMIN D ONLY ONE OF SiX Expert in Physics Recites| Values of Various Heat Elements of Food. BY H. H. SHELDON, Professor Physics, N. Y. U. We have heard so much sbout vita- min D, the sunshine vitamin, of late, that we have almost forgotten that there are any others. There are, in fact, five others. The popularity of | vitamin D is perhaps due to several | causes, It is the first one which we University Professor Recommends Morris Chairs for Students By ‘he Associated Press. CHICAGO, March 8—A slogan “If we must have education, let's get it painlessly,” swept over the campus of Northwestern Uni- versity _yesterday after Prof. Baker Brownell of the depart- ment of sociology and literature said he favored Morris chairs for class rooms.

Also | there are some who have special win- | dow glasses to sell, ultra-violet lamps | to dispose of to the public. They do not let us forget the important vitamin D. Others Receive Less Notice. The other vitamins, A, B (which is really two vitamins), C and E, have received much less attention. We know that they exist in certain foods, we know somethi:g of their effects on the body. but 10 not know how they got into the frods, nor do we know how to put them ihere. That they are as impo1tent in many respects as the vita- min D there can be no doubt. That they are present in many commercial foods which come to our table is also true Apparently the advertising agents for | som> of these products do not know. or m-re would be made of it.

Ap- parently the body has the ability of storing this vitamin over long periods of time. Needed to Insure Growth. A plentiful supply of vitamin A in childhood will make up, in large degree, for a deficiency in later life. This is | the only vitamin which possesses this remarkable property. for growth. Lack of it leads to a weak- enm% of the body tissues and a sus- ceptibility to bacterial infection. It is also necsur{l to re, ction.
