IVIystery Vitamin Makes
food More Palatable
• ■ ■ ■■■
Nutrient X, an unidentified food
factor, appearing to have the pro
perties of a vitamin, apparently
plays an important part in the
“palatibility” of foods, but, in
spite of its indicated importance
in tomorrow’s nutrition, it is still
a puzzle to nutrition workers and
food chemists.
That Nutrient X seems to en
trance “palatability” has been re
ported by A. M. Hartman and C.
A. Cary of the United States De
partment of Agriculture to the
AAierican Dairy Science Asocia
ticui at Ames, Iowa.
“Palatibility,” it is recognized
toy science, depends not only on
<he “taste” of the food offered but
also on the need of the body for
the food and the use the body will
I be able to make of the food if it is
| eaten. This is how the white rats
used in the nutrition studies have
reacted.
Investigators of the Bureau of
Dairy Industry have found X
present in several milk products,
and in other foods and feeds—let
tuce, eg yolk, beef muscle and
pork muscle, in bluegrass and al
falfa. and in alfalfa and timothy
hays. The X in a cow’s diet is sup
I plied by the X in her pasturage
and hay. She does not get X from
grain feeds.
The X in the diet is so essential
that the experimenters have found
that while rats on a diet relatively
high in protein '65 per cent pro
tein) usually died if X was lack
ing, they lived and grew 85 per
cent of normal on the same diet
when it was supplemented by Nu
trient X.

multi-engine Starlincrs went into service,
the task of moving a dragline to a new
location was a tremendous one, often
involving sledge, riverboats, and ship

Now, moving day for a mine means
hours instead of months, thanks to the
mighty carrying capacity of the Star
Not everyone in Alaska moves mines.
But nearly all Alaskans ship something,
even if it's only a tiny package. And
experience has shown that shipment by
Alaska Airlines is the swiftest, surest
means of transport available.
