Readers of this column may have observed that the discovery of a number of the vitamins came about chiefly through the efforts of investigators to discover a method of treating or curing obscure nutritional diseases. In most instances, however, carefully controlled laboratory experiments played their part in reaching the ultimate goal after some clue had been found as to what the mysterious substance might be that helped to control a baffling nutritional disease. The discovery of vitamin D was no exception! Vitamin D and Rickets Vitamin D is associated intimately with the prevention and cure of rickets, the most devastating nutritional disease of children in temperate climates. Indeed, it is the moderate, and in some cases the small amount of sunshine in the temperate zone that accounts partially for the presence of rickets. Historians have given us reason to believe that this disease may have existed in England even before the Roman conquest. Certainly it appeared in a serious form, both in England and in other North European countries, in the Seventeenth century. In fact, early literature refers to it as the English disease, and the early at tempts to fathom its causes were written in Latin by English and Dutch doctors during the 1600s. In .rickets, the childs head grows large and out of proportion to the body, while the leg and arm bones, and in severe cases even the ribs, are bent and twisted out of their normal shape. Need for Calcium and Phosphorus The two principal minerals required for constructing the bones and teeth are calcium, obtained chiefly from milk, cheese and green leafy vegetables, and phosphorus, found in generous amounts in eggs, whole graip cereals and dried legumes. But one of the things that made it so difficult for scientists to determine the cause of rickets was the fact that apparently well fed children, who had plenty of calcium and phosphorus, frequently developed the disease. Oil Mystery of oil had been used for many yea'rs because of its suptonic or building posedly properties, when it was observed that regular doses of oil not only cured rickets in children, but also cured the corresponding disease in adults, called osteomalacia, in which the bones become soft as the calcium and phosphorus already deposited in them are withdrawn and excreted. Fat and Vitamin D One of the stranghst paradoxes to the scientists- in their . early investigations was the fact that while oil appeared to cure rickets, another substance high in Cod-liv- er er cod-liv- - cod-liv- er er rich vitamin A, cod-livoil contained two vitamins, one of which was later named vitamin D. Effect of Sunlight More work was necessary and it took years of patient effort before science unraveled the mystery of how sunlight could have er the same apparent effect in preoil. venting rickets as Once nutritionists understood how sunlight acting on a fatty substance in the skin could produce vitamin D, however, it was not difficult to carry the process a step further and learn how to fortify foods with a satisfactory content of vitamin D. Today we have at our disposal irradiated milk, or milk to which a vitamin D concentrate has been added. Margarine, too, has been enriched not only with vitamin D, but with vitamin A so that this moderate-pricespread for bread has been made an effective vita min carrier. cod-liv- So Vitamin D Requirement important is vitamin D con- sidered, that the United States Childrens Bureau advises that oil or some other form of cod-liv- er this vitamin be supplied to all babies, beginning at the age of two or three weeks. Mothers should be guided by the advice of their physician in determining when to start the use of a vitamin D preparation and what quantities to give. But if they want to give their babies the blessing bestowed on them by the scientists who discovered vitamin D, they must not overlook this important substance. As guardians of the health of both children and adults, mothers should see to it that vitamin D is supplied regularly through the use of eggs and salmon; irradiated foods and those fortified with vitamin D; and if necessary, oils or concentrates. fish-liv- er Questions Answered Miss G. M. L. Yes, it is true that sweet potatoes contain a small amount of protein. In fact, their protein is composed of four amino acids known to be essential of Vitamin D to nutrition. Some of the protein may be lost if the potato is boiled, but it is entirely preserved when the potato is cooked by dry heat. Mrs. M. B. Both cooked lentils and baked kidney beans contain over 20 per cent of carbohydrate. Low carbohydrate vegetables include cabbage, celery, cauliflower, kale, lettuce and spinach. The richest natural sources of vitamin D are the oils, of the tuna, including the liver-oswordfish, rock fish, salmon, halibut, mackerel, cod and haddock The body oils of many fish also furnish substantial amounts. That accounts for the fact that canned salmon has been regarded as such a splendid food in the diet of chil dren and adults. It is not only a good source of protein and of energy values, but it contains substantial amounts of the minerals, calcium, phosphorus and iodine, and has been found to be an unusually good food source of vitamin D. contains small yolk Egg amounts o! vitamin D, and when The claim as to the whereabouts of the tallest tree in the world is now officially settled. Records of the United States forestry service at San Francisco showed the worlds loftiest tree is located in California. Government computations fixed the height of the record holder, a Sequoia in Humboldt State park, at 364 feet. Unconfirmed reports, circulated for several years, told of Australian eucalyptus trees 400 to 500 feet tall. World forestry statistics, however, limit the highest known eucalyptus to 325 feet.
