Merrill, of L. A. Cream-ery Company of Vitamins. RELATION TO HEALTH Foods in Which Different Vitamins Are Found Revealed by Speaker. That Ventura county produces the finest grade of milk" in the United States according to the state board of health, was the statement of Fred W.

Merrill of Los Angeles, advertising specialist for the L. A. Creamery company, speaking before the Oxnard Lions den last night. "All of the milk produced the speaker said, "is of such high quality that it could be graded as certified milk. "Twenty five years ago, we knew nothing of movies, radio, league of nations, the income tax, rum parcel post, slenderizing and particul arly vitamins.

The latter is of such importance now, that millions are spent to advertise it. "Fortunately for the dairy industry, milk is rich In vitamins, and large sums are being spent to make this fact known. In 1312 an epidemic ot sore eyes, called opthalmia, broke out Denmark. This baffling epidemic attracted the attention of the most noted doctors In the world. They found it was not contagious, but that it Was due to the lack of dairy pro-j ducts.

Denmark produced the best butter in the world, and shipped it out, while substitutes and animal fats were imported. There was something for the body, and as-it was unknown; -was-, called Vitamin I "When Vitamin A is absent from i our food we can expect trouble. (1) There is a general physical weakness of the entire system, and this weakness continues until Vitamin A is added to the diet. (2) Individuals who are deprived of Vitamin A are more susceptible to disease. (3) If there Is no Vitamin A present the digestive system is disturbed, and "poor means poorly work ing machinery-all the way through.

(4) The lungs, sinuses and nose passages are affected If Vitamin A is lacking. Vitamin A is found in many The richest source, is whole milk and it is in some way closely identified with the fat in milk. Egg yolks; fish liver oils; the heart, and the liver, both have a good supply of Vitamin A. Among the plants Vitamin A found in yellow carrots, yellow corn, green peas, string beans, yellow 1 squash; especially rich in this ele ment Is pineapple and tomatoes. The Metropolitan Life Insurance company," continued Mr.

Merrill. "spends a million and a half yearly to get people to drink milk for this Vitamin A. "The second vitamin, viz; Vitamine is equally as Important as Vitamin A. Is necessary for growth. The greater or the faster the" growth, the more Vitamin is necessary.

Its absence, too, like that of results in loss of appetite, and quite general digestive disorders. "In hunting for a cure for Beri-Beri, Vitamin was found, hence its special function is to serve as a cure, and a preventive of not only this disease, bin other nervous disorders. Beriberi Is a disease of the nerves. "Vitamin is found in milk and closely associated with the proteins. It is quite generally distributed in plant and animal food.

Yeast cakes constitute a very rich and reliable source, as does also the heart and livers of animals used for human the speaker said, "Fleiscb- man made a fortune by getting peo ple to use yeast, through advertising the necessity of taking Vitamin B. The sailors of the English Navy were subject to a disease called scurvy, which is a disease of the skin. When allowed to run a long lime severe skin eruptions, with consequent bleeding occurred and it was found that Iii the juice of citrus fruit, mere was a definite and permanent cure which wns called Vitamin C. "Vitamin has the widest distribution of all the vitamins. It is found in milk, potatoes and practically all the fruits and vegetables.

When one includes both fruits and vegetables, aiid they selected from a wide variety, there Is little chance of not getting Vitamin C. The handicap ot this vitamin, however, Is that It Is easily destroyed in the processes of heating, pasteurizing, drying, and cooking the foods in which it is found.

Tunnel Drive to Santa Monica? -Die? Automobile Club of Southern California, one of the most powerful in the "swung into vigorous action-against the pollution, of California's "highway scenery, accord-into-la; letter them today.

The time to put a stop to this desecration is now, especially in connection with ihe Oxnard-Capistrano highway; which will open next summer. Beautiful vistas of ocean strand, the mountains and the Oxnard plain area, will be hooded over by- billboards advertising medicines, kidney pills, tires and leg shows, unless the civic organizations of Oxnard and other groups show immediate action. The Automobile Club's letter follows: "Doubtless you have noticed the rapid increase in unsightly and depressing blemishes lining our principal highways in California. These roads cost millions of dollars and unfold scenic vistas that the tourists cross the entire country to see. These tourists are a source of immense revenue and it would appear that we should set our house in order if we are to continue to attract them.

"Hundreds of thousands of dollars are spent annually in telling nf the glories of Southern California for the motorist, and then when they get here they find our leading boulevards walled in with billboards, deserted hot dog shacks, dumping places and similar scenery obscuring objects, making a trip over some of the roads of Southern California resemble a tour through a back alley or a railroad yard, rather than a trip through our far famed and beloved California. "In various sections of the East -well organized campaigns are devoted to preventing this sort of thing in the future and cleaning up the roadside in the present. "While the Automobile Club of Southern California is striving thought in mind am sugeestmg that vou take the initiative your locality in putting this situation before your readers hrough would appear that the clean-up job can best be done by localizm; it and each community doine its part. "As vou know, the time tried and best method of arousing a community to its dutv is through its newspapers. It is with this ouglit in mind that I am suggesting that you ake the initiative your localiy in putting this situation before your readers through editorial utterances, and inspire your chamber of commerce and other civic organizations to get busy on a clean up the roads cam paign."
