ASTORIA In U:;l;::;v.:drmn HEALTH AND FOOD ADVIGE 15 GIVEN State Board Bulletfll Discusses Disease Prevention The weekly morbidity report from the state board of health shows New Britain to have rcported during the week -ending October 23, six cases of diphtheria and one of scarlet fever. In Hartford county, nine diphtheria car- riers were reported. Relative to preventable the bulletin says: During the past week, a. consider- able drop occurred in diphtheria cases reported, and incidentally, the total reported was considerably less than the. corresponding week in 1920 (81 cases) and also 1921 (95 cases.) The past week is the first week this fall in which the total number of cases of measles reported exceeded the corresponding weeks in 1920 (33 cases and 1921 20:cases.) Scarlet fever, pneumonia and whooping cough’ are showing the sea- sonal increase in prevalence. The number of typhoid cases (6 cases) compares favorably with the corresponding week in ' 1021, when there were 12 cases reported and 1920 when there were 16 reported. Continuing, in an advisory capacity, the state report discusses food. Ex- tracts from the report are: Food and Disease It is necessary to eat proper foods to live a normal life. Proper food consists of all the essentials necessary for a normal physical growth. Occa- sionally, however, the lack of proper substances in the food consumed by an individual may cause a physical defect or the presence of contamination may cause disease. Contaminated foods are usually caused by the neglect of cleanliness in preparing food for market or at home. Typhoid, diphtheria, septic sore throat and other diseases, can be caused by milk contaminated with the germs of these diseases by persons handling the milk® usually investiga- tion shows the person who milked the cows or bottled the milk was sick and that he was responsible for the outbreak of disease in families con- suming the milk. Occasionally the person causing the infection was found to be well, but was a carrief of disease germs, particularly of typhoid fever or diphtheria. Celery, lettuce, radishes and other vegetables consumed raw were often thought to cause considerable typhoid fever and perhaps did, in the case of farms using human excreta for fertil- izing purposes. Fertilizing in that manner_ghould not be fone, when the products are eaten raw. No case of typhoid in Connecticut in recent years has been found to be caused by celery or other vegetables eaten raw, The cause of physical defects by food is due {o the absence, in the food consumed by an individual, of certain substances known as ‘‘vitamins.” The vitamin question is, however, by no means settled at the present time. There are apparently three definite vitamins judged by conditions pro- duced in animals by lack of certain foods in the dlet of the animals. These vitamins are designated as Vitamin A, B, and C. If Vitamin A. is absent from a food, the person will stop growing and de- velop rickets. Vitamin A. apparently {s necessary or the body will cease growing. Incidentally, if absent from the diet, the hody becomes susceptible to an infectious eye disease called ‘xerophthalmia.” The function of Vitamin B. is to promote the growth of the body. Its absence will result in neuritic condi- tions and a disease called beri-beri. This vitamin deficiency disease at one time was quite widespread in Japan, among persons living on the highly milled polished rice diet excluslively. Beri-beri was prevalent in the Japan- €se navy until about 1885 due to the diet. of polished rice. 1In 1885 barley was substituted for a part of the pol- ished rice and beri-berl practically disappeared from the. navy. Vitamin C. has been found neces- eary in foods to prevent scurvy. In- cidentally, the growth of the body is diminished if food lacks this third vitamin. All of the above diseases may be termed food deficiency, except xerophthalmia, which involves a bac- terjal infection, but the food must be deficient in Vitamin A. for the condi- tion to occur. Fortunately, most foods contain one or more of the vitamins. Sher- man and Smith in their. recent vol- ume on ‘The Vitamins” say that if we consider the ' nutritive require- ments ‘‘we may group the chief types of food according to the nutritional significance of each, somewhat as follows: 1. Grain products — economical sources of energy and protein, but not satisfactory in their mineral and vitamin content. 2. Sugars and fats—chiefly signi- flcant from the nutritional stand- points as supplementary sources of energy, although some animal fats are important sources of Vitamin A. 8. Meats, including fish and poul- try—rich in proteln or fat, or both, but, in general, showing the same Sour Stomach Mi-O-Na Puts the Stomach in Fine Shape in Five Minutes If vour stomach is continually kicking up a disturbance; if you feel bloated and dis- tressed; if you belch gas and sour food Into the mouth, then you need M1-O-Na Btomach Tablets. M{-O-Na stomach tablets give instant re- llef, of couse, but they do more; they stop the polsonous 8. They step excess fer- mentation of food and thoroughly clean, renovate and strengthen the stomach wso that it can readily digest food without ar- tificial ald. MI-O-Na stomach tablets are guaranteed to end Indigestion, apute or chronic, or money back. This means that nervousness, dixzineas and billousness should disappear. Druggists everywhere sell Mi-O-Na. diseases, mineral and do the grains 4. Frults and vegetables—varying greatly in their protein and energy values but very important as sources of mineral elements and vitamins. 6. Milk—~Important as a source of energy, protein, mineral elements and citamines and possessing unique ef- ficlency as a growth-promoting food." In brief, most grains have Vita- min A. and B, present, Most fats and olls, with the excep- tion of nut margarine, linseed, alive, peanut and cocoanut olls, have Vita- min A, present; Vitamins B. and .C. are absent. Meats have Vitamins A, B. and C. present to a slight degree, Fish usually has Vitamin B, pres- ent, and if fat, Vitamin A. may also exist. Fruits as a whole contain Vitamin C., but tomatoes canned, raw or dried, and orange juice or orange peel and apples contain all three vitamins. Vegetables in general contain one ore more vitamins, and of these let- tuce, dandelions, caulifiower, carrots, cabbage, fresh string beans, contaln all three vitamins. Practically all nuts contaln min B, Milk contains all three even thought it may dried or condensed. Butter contains only Vitamin A. Buttermilk and cream, however, contain all three vitamins. Eggs apparently contain all vitamins, but the much exploited yeast, however, lacks Vitamin A. and C., being only rich in Vitamin B. Tien Hua We trust that all read the smallpox and vacclnation data in last week's bulletin which showed the vast num- ber of smallpox cases in unvaccinated persons compared with the smallpox cases In the vaccinated. Incidentally, all of the deaths from smallpox this year were unvaccinated {ndividuals. No vaccinated person died of small- pox in Connecticut. In China they call smallpox “Tien Hua,” or the Heavenly Flower disease. Dr, W. W. Peter of Shang- hai says: “Elaborated in English this means ‘smallpox sends you to heaven and your friends to the florist’."” National Cancer Week The week of November 12th to the 18th this year is to be considered throughout the country as ‘Cancer Week” during which an attempt to educate the people to seek medical advice promptly in conditions which may be the early symptoms of can- cer will be made. Prompt assistance in the stages of the disease may result checking it or result in a cure. It is now understood by the fore- most medical men that certain forms of cancer are curable if properly treated in time. Very often this treatment may be a simple surgical operation. In the United States as a whole, 00,000 people die each year from cancer, and apparently this number is increasing. The increase in deaths may perhaps be due to a more ac- curate diagnosis, following the use of newly devised scientific procedures. vitamin ' deficiencies as Vita- vitamins, be skimmed, early in Grotto and Amaranth Will Have So- cial At Elks' Club Next Week ‘On Tuesday evening, October 31, Aziz Grotto will hold a Hallowe'en social and dance at the club rooms, a feature of the entertainment being a dance number by Miss Grace Harper of ‘Hartford.

Tim, brell, David Malmfeldt, Samuel Gross and Erfest Horton. Stirring Talks Given Mr. Squire, who was one of the prime movers in the organization of the Young Men's Republican presided at last night's meeting. Rousing talks were given by Mr. Cov- ert, Mr. Christ and Judge Alling, in which it was urged that the campaign be waged for the next few days in a lively fashion, and that the members of the newly formed club, see to it that the vote is gotten out on elec- tion day. Outlook In Hartford Captain McCook, who was defeated for the mayoralty in the election at Hartford las' spring, was introduced and was given a warm greeting. The speaker urged that every man do his share in the campaign and to see to it that the republican voters in New Britain he urged to get out and vote early, thus assisting the republican town committee materially. Captain McCook said that the sentiment at| Hartford is far different from that of last spring, and that everywhere there is a confidence displayed that the re- publican ticket would be swept into office by a big majority on November 7. The speaker eulogized each and every member of the state ticket, and he paid a compliment to the calibre of the men that the. republican party had selected to represent this city in the next legislature. s Ells Praises Harding Judge Ellg, who placed in nomina- tion Charles A. Templeton for govern- or, was the next speaker. Judge Ells told of his acquaintance with the gubernatorial candidate, and of the success Mr. Templeton has had in business. Judge Ells said that if the voters of Connecticut desire an astute politician for governor, David E. Fitz- Gerald, of New Haven was the man to vote for, but if a good, sound busi- ness administration was to be had, Charles A. Templeton of Waterbury was the man.to place in the governor's chair. Judge Ells pald a glowing tribute to the Harding administration. The speaker said that the influence of Senator George P. McLean has al- ways been felt in the United States| senate. Senator McLean, the speaker said, was one of the big men of today at Washington, and his entire record in the senate is one of achievement.
