Vitamines in Honey. — Continued from Page- 539. 



from among the multitude of charts and dia- 

 grams which accompanied tlie report from 

 Prof. Hawk; but, if you could know how 

 extremely careful I have been in writing 

 this not to exaggerate or claim one bit more 

 for honey than the report would justify, you 

 would concede me that little privilege. 



Dear me, I have a vision of a solemn gen- 

 tleman coming toward me with a large wet 

 blanket consisting of a remark like this: 

 ' ' Why get up so much excitement over the 

 presence of the fat-soluble vitamine in comb 

 honey? The amount of honey eaten is so 

 small in comparison with other foods that 

 the presence or absence of vitamines makes 

 little difference." I refuse to be squelched. 

 We are warned repeatedly of late that the 

 modern civilized diet with its devitalized, 

 domineralized, and over-refined foods has a 

 very small margin of safety as regards val- 

 uable soluble mineral saJts and the various 

 unidentified dietary essentials. Therefore 

 I propose three cheers for the world's oldest 

 and most beautiful sweet, comb honey. 



Next month I intend to tell you more of 

 Prof. Hawk 's report, including liis experi- 

 ments as to the digestibility of honey.
