NEA" Stall Writer :
When skin is dry," rough or

home after two and a half years'
Japanese imprisonment says thai
you might well turn a suspicious
eye upon your diet.
' Lt. Rita Palmer,' A.NC of Bos
ton, Mass.', claims that a near
starvation diet in Manila's San'.o
Tomas internment camp caused
her skin to grow' dryer by de
grees, and to break out with sub
surface bumps; that her hair first
lost Its electricity and then much
of it came out. During the latter
months of confinement, she and
67 other iirmy nurses lived on a
mere subsistence diet of rice,
mush, carabao milk, a gravy
made of talihum (greens indige
nous to the Philippines), and soy
bean husks from which the Japa
nese extracted the principal nu
trients ' before ' this protein food
was given to prisoners.
Liberated prisoners were put
back on a balanced diet to sup
ply all body requirements, in par
ticular one which stepped up in
take of -vitamin A and the vita
min B family, so necessary to the
health and beauty of skin and
hair, A few weeks of proper nur
ture, Lt. Palmer says, cleared up
her skin and fod, growth of new
hair.. .-, '.' ' ' ,
