What Science I Is Doing \ WIDEN VIEW OF UNIVERSE Objects in the sky "quite out of reach some years ago" have been brought within range by newly developed telescope aids. Several stars have been added to those known to be among the ueareK neighbors of the sun, two of which give out less than one-tenth thousandth part of the sun's light. â-ºâ€¢Â«-« «-, HEALTH TOPICS More Vitamins in Whole Wheat Bread SUNLIGHT AND VITAMIN C Vitamin C may be produced by sunlight in the same way that radiation produces vitamin D, it is indicated by an analysis of tomato plants' vitamin content when kept under variable condi- tions of sunlight. When the plants were removed from the sunUght the vitamin C content showed a remarkable decrease in quantity, and when they were returned to the light the quantity increased. NEW WAY TO MAKE HELIUM Dr. Cecil T. Ijine, assistant in physics at Yale University and former student and member of the staff f>t -McGil! University, is reported to have built a ma- chine which cuts both the time and cost of manufacture of liq^uid helium down to a fraction of the former time and cost. McGill physicists last week commented that the manufacture .of liquid helium was a difficult process as helium gas liquefies at four degrees above absolute zero, the point at which all atomic ac- tion ceases. No one measui'e could do so much to advance national health and vigor in wanime ^as the provision of greater vitamin con- tent in bread, Dr. Frederick T. Tisdall, nutrition expert, told the Health League of Canada in a recent address at Toronto. The British government last July took steps to supplement the amount of vitamin Bl in all bread. Similar action is being considered in the U.S. and wo»k in this field is now being done at Ottawa. "In Canada we have discover- ed in the last few years that most of the vitamin content of our grains goes into the animal ti-oughs," Dr. Tisdall said. The heaviest vitamin conten^ of grain is in the parts discarded in tiie refining of white bread flour, he explained. COMBATS NERVOUSNESS "We used to think that 300 in- ternational units of vitamin Bl was a sufficient daily supply but now we believe 500 units are needed. Persons receiving 8(>0 units get along all right, but that if this is cut to 250 units the same people become morose and fretful," he said. Reducing the amount below that figure actu- ally reduced subjects of experi- mems to a state where they be- came highly nervous and afraid, he declared. The siniplest way to derive the full vitamin advantages from bread is to eat whole wheat bread, the doctor said, but added "you can't make people eat what they don't like and most of us don't like brown bread." "A white flour can be pro- duced which will vary very little frcm our present white flour, yet contain the needed vitamin.-," Dr. Tisdall added.

"Ah, Sweet Mystery of Life," and "I'll See You Again." from "Bittersweet," which is, how- ever, a "plug" for his*iext picture. That isn't a bad list, but for the average man "Vesti la Giubba" Is not familiar enough, although the sob in the voice that comes In the last line would be handy for ths man who got soap in his eyes. For the leisurely bather, or for dealing with the spot between the shoulder blades and the small oJ the back. "Di-ink to Me Only" !s admirable.

"Doctor," she answered, "hasn't a woman got a right to scratch her own head?" "How nicely you have made your bed, conny," tntd his mother one morning. "I haven't made it," he re- plied.

For this reason fira- wood seasoned for less than one year should not 'oe osed, and to achieve the best results wood should be cut into suitable lengths for the stove or furnace as soon as TMjssible so as to permit the most thcrough seaso.".ing. More Fast Trains On This Continent Fish can hear, distinguish be- tween colours, and make a noise when ihey eat. Railroad passenger service in Canada and the United States is much faster than it was a year ag-o, according to the annual trUn schedule survey jusi completed and made public by Railroad Magazine, Tnis study shows that separate runs operating daily at an average speed of a mile-a-minute or more grew dur- ing the year fror.i 997 to 1,226 â€" a jump of 23 per cent. The ex- tension of mile-a-minute rail- roading, it is pointed out, is prim- ai-ily due to the general improve- ment of inter-city services ra- ther than to a spectacular speed- up on any one system. ...CLASSIFIED ADVERTISEMENTS..
