EEE THE KEY WEST CITIZEN WILL always seek the truth and print it te OUR IGNORANCE ABOUT FOOD Americans spend twenty billion dol- lars a year on the food they eat and yet we know practically nothing about it. Men and women get gray haired with- out once thinking about the proper diet for the human body. Our children, most of the time, go through school without being taught the rudimentary principles of nutri- tion. Come to think about it, comparatively little is known about the chemical pro- ducts of foods or the processes of diges- tion. Occasionally one hears an expert de- clare that proper food will prolong life in- definitely but until some ache or pain arises we take food for granted and eat like we please. Prof. L. B. Mendel, of Yale, a fore- Most authority on nutrition, asks the scientist to delve into the intricacies of food and its relation to human bodies. He decries the lack of knowledge. The usual textbook composition of cow’s milk, gives: water, 87 per cent; proteins 4.0 per cent; fats, 3.8 per cent; lactose, 4.5 per cent and ash constituents, 0.7 per cent. This looks authentic, but here is what Prof. Mendel says. Facute, “Actually most of the figures are ficti- tious in the sense that they represent crude | approximations and involve | considerable Jatitude of assumption.” i ~~ And Waldemar Kaempffert; scientific writer, points out that there are aS many proteins as there are types of men in the world, and proteins are about the hardest compounds found in. milk or meat to analyze. So with the “fats” of milk, which “really represent the percentage weight of the milk com- ponents that are soluble in certain organic THE KEY WEST CITIZEN POCCSeCCOCESCESCCESEOOLETTESEVELELEOOCCS Daily Cross-word Puzzle SOcocovesooscccesesesesesscocece ACROSS 1.

DARNALL, Former Editor of The Key West Citizen At a recent wrestling match in Phila- delphia, one of the contenders, an alleged “cowboy named Everett Marshall, developed an unmanageable disposition. He hurled his opponent out of the ring, smashed the «referee on the nose and beat up his man- “ager, who tried to quiet him down. He was finally subdued and a sanity test was -ordered to determine whether it is safe to permit him to be at large. ....., , Governor Brann: of Maine aid an un- usual thing recently by vetoing 'a bill which -he himself had originally sponsored. It was ‘pe Sas him to appoint P. H. Lord, a dio*e ainer, to his personal. ‘staff, along with Rudy Vallee and Gene Tumey. “The Legislature passed the bill, but in the face of criticism against the appointment of “crooners, prizefighters and vaudeville actors” to state positions the governor changed his mind and vetoed the measure, “his veto being sustained by a large ma- jority. Ignace Jan Paderewski, by many con- sidered to be the greatest pianist of all time, will not come to America this year, being laid up in Switzerkand with neuritis. The venerable Polish musician is in his 74th year, yet until a few months ago he retained his incomparable skill as a pianist. His artistic career was interrupted by a period of distinguished service as premier of Poland after the World War. His good friend, Clemenceau of France, said to. him at that time, “What a come-down this is for you.” Admiral Byrd's expedition te the Ant- arctic was increased by one member when a male calf was born to his Guernsey cow, Klondike, on board the ship Jacob Rup- pert, as the vessel steamed into the Far South. fats and find out what part they play in nutrition. A similar appalling ignorance says Mr. Kaempffert accompanies our some- what amusing analyses of so common a breakfast food as oatmeal. We simply don’t know exactly what we.are eating in } the chemical sense, when we mufich:. a tablespoonful of oatmeal with cream. “Ash 2 per cent,” reads some analysis | of the food. It turns out that in the ash is iodine. To be sure it’s only a trace. But, as Professor Mendel pointed out, “only a few milligrams—a fraction of a grain—is all that is necessary to spell the difference between well-being and ill health in man.’ And this indispensable trace’ we lump with a dozen other elements in the all- embracing, non-committal item “ash.” Add to this the obvious need of including vita- mins in any decent statement of a food’s composition, and the state of our knowl- edge of nutrition must .be regarded as searcely rudimentary.” THE NATION’S CAPITAL Among the troublesome questions. which confronted congress in the early days of the. republic was that of selecting a permanent seat of government. Between’ 1774 and 1788 the old Continental Con- gress held. sessions at various-times in ‘no -less than.eight different towns. 4 These were Philadelphia, Baltimore, Laneaster, Pa.; York, Pa.; Princeton, N. J.; Annapolis, Md.; Trenton, N. J.; and New York. This continual moving about of the seat of government caused Francis Hopkinson, one of the signers of the De- elaration of Independence, to facetiously suggest that the capital be placed on wheels, so that it might be readily moved from place to place as desired. When the new government under the present constitution was formed in 1789, the seat of government was temporarily loeated in New York, but was removed to Philadelphia the following year. After much discussion the present site was select- ed and the cornerstone of the capitol was laid by President Washington on Septem- ber 18, 1793, with Masonic ceremonies. The government was removed to Washington in 1800, during the adminis- tration of President Adams. On the con- dition of the place at that time a writer says: “The new city’s streets and parks existed on paper only. New arrivals saw gangs of laborers making the first improve- ments since the clearing away of the forest trees on what has become the most famous histeric street in the country, the broad stretch of Pennsylvania Avenue.” DAYS GONE BY) Happenings Here Just 10 Years Ago Today As Taken From The Files Of The Citizen According to the official report of the weather bureau issued yes- terday, Key West was the only summéry city ‘in the country at that time. The lowest tempera- ture recorded here was 61, which is considered pretty good surf bathing weather in some of the northern cities and there were many bathers on the beaches at Key West. In Miami the thermo- meter fell. to 52 and at Tampa it registered 38, only 6 degrees be- low freezing. A radio message was received here this afternoon advising that the Steamer Hastings was ashore on the west bank between Beacons Number 12 and 14. It is under- stood that several vessels are pro- eeeding to the aid of the ship which is calling for assistance. An- | other message was received from the Italian S. S. Rosario which ran aground southwest from Key West distant about 12 miles. from the city. A call for powerful tugs was sent out, Before they could | get ready to leave the vessel re- potted being afloat. snd proceed: « i Ralph B.

Others elected were John Roker, first as- sistant; John C. Park, second as- sistant; John W. Roberts, secre- tary; William T. Archer, treasurer; William R. Warren and Harry C. Galey, surgeons; Leslie Curry, as- sistant surgeon. | Due to a decided abatement in) the force of the winds a number} of fishing boats left today for the} grounds. It is the intention of! the fishermen to try to locate the! large schools of mackerel and kingfish that were in the vicinity| of Key West last week. | The Schooner Acacia, of Key; | West, arrived in port yesterday in! tow of the Coast Guard Cutter) Saukee. The master of the ship, | Captain C. O. Hanson, told The} Citizen the schooner had encoun- | tered rough weather and at times; it was feared she would be lost.| On arrival the ship was minus the! forestay and other parts of the} rigging had been carried away by} the heavy winds. si Editorial comment: Another non-advertising merchant has been forced to leave Key West, and an-} other more progressive one witt| take his place and prosper.
