Isn't Science Wpnderful?
This bit of startling discovery was recently
dispatched over news association wires:
"A more accurate determination of the vitamin content of dried prunes, showing they
contain not only important amounts of Bl and
B2 but also are rich in niacin and vitamita A,
came today from the laboratory of Dr. Agnes
Fay Morgan, University of Olifornia nutrition expert."
Continuing with the report of the amazing
nutritional value tnS prunes, the reporter adds
in a/eT''Thc report shows prunes contain on
an average of about 200 international unit*, of
vitamin A in each 100 grams, putting them
approximately on a par with apricots and
peaches, the only other fruits containing ap-
• prcciable amounts-of this dietary factor, which
aids vision and helps to protect some parts of
the body against infection."
But that isn't enough. An authority ih the
field must bejquoted 'on even another wonderful property:
"jhc test also demonstrated, Dr.' Morgan
said, -that prunes are relatively rich in niacin,
• a part of the vitamins!} complex which protects human bcinq against pellagra."
All of which adds up to one thing: The
prune, which Grandma knew was good for
.her since the first day she enrolled in kindergarten, still tastes like a prune*
. Out for Blood
A small group of girls m.1«fe a special trip
yesterday to the Fresno Omnty General Hospital to donate a'pint of bl'ood apiece.
Their motives were twofold: Patriotism and
loyalty to their sorority In an attempt ,to
. make their organization club of the month,
they allowed the blood to be taken But even
more vital to all of them was this thought:
Even though their donations would not be
converted into plasma, every bit they could
givo would mean the county hospital would
have to drain  the  nation's stock of plasma
