28 THE HEALTH BULLETIN Stance of vitamin. In the second place, the rising agents have a marked tendency to destroy the little vitamin which may have escaped the modern miller. It is not inconceivable that a self-rising product may be made which will not have this harmful effect, but it is much safer to avoid all such products and return to Nature. Excessive Cooking Harmful Our people overcook nearly everything except those things needing much cooking, as do cereals, and these are universally undercooked. The choicest cuts of almost priceless beef and mutton are being cooked today in North Carolina to the point where every trace of vitamin is destroyed and, in fact, all the nutritious element is made worthless, leaving behind only those harmful extractives which we hear so much of in the causation of high blood pressure conditions. Cook your meats less, and then add to this rule a strong resolve to throw the frying pan out of the Tvindow. Apart from injurious effect of cooked grease on our digestive apparatus, an eminent New York physician has recently shown that the vehicle in which our food is cooked may destroy the vitamin. He found that by cooking orange juice in oil it would not protect the children from scurvy, while if the orange juice were cooked in water there was no loss of this power of protection. Therefore, we cannot afford to lessen the value of our precious foods by the addition of costly grease when we know that the grease in itself will cause a double danger. Nearly all the faulty methods of cooking in the South have been introduced to save trouble and work. It is to be hoped that the next generation of girls will be taught in the schools how to cook and how not to cook, and the reason why. An authority on this matter of cooking has said that the next best thing Mr. Rockefeller could do after the eradication of the hookworm would be to send through the South a force of authorities to teach the people to discard the frying pan. If, then, our people will grow their own corn and wheat and take it in small amounts to the local mill and have it ground, and if our housewives will learn again the art of making yeast if too far away to get the manufactured product, and if the soda and baking powder are thrown away, we will see the rapid disappearance of pellagra, our greatest scourge. It will matter then very little what the price of meat is, for we can do very well without it. The high price of wheat and corn will not affect us, and the waste in this new-fangled milling will not be charged up to us and our children. In addition to pellagra, the evidence is growing that many of our nervous disturbances are caused directly by this faulty but beautiful food. Let our slogan, then, be.

The mere fact that the man took typhoid fever while in the employ of the company, would not constitute a charge that he sustained an accidental injury within the meaning of the statute.
