Haraguchi, RN People have asked ma, “ What do B vitamins do fo r you anyway?" So today f l l talk about V ita min B. Thiamine is part of a large group of nutrients called the B vitamin complex. Other members of this vitamin fam i ly w ill be discussed from time to tim e. One of the most important things to remember about Thiamine is that, because it is a water soluble vitamin it is not stored in the body. The supplies in body tissues are only enough fo r normal functioning fo r a few days. F o r this reason it is impor tant to get enough Thiamine in your diet every day. Thiamine is needed to main tain a normal appetite and digestive function. It is necessary fo r normal growth and fo r fe r tility and m ilk pro duction after giving birth . It is necessary fo r proper func tioning o f the nervous system. People who are low in Thia mine may experience I r regular heart beats, nervous ness, forgetfulness, irra ta - b ility . They may lose their appetite and may also ex perience muscle weakness and tenderness. Alcohol is a great thief of Thiamine, and of most other B vitam ins also. Much of the irra ta b ility of a hangover may be avoided by taking 25 mg of Thiamine before re tir ing after an “ evening on the tow n." Foods ric h in Thiamine, generally have some or all of the other B vitam ins, too. Some of the best sources are whole grains. Brown rice, unprocessed oatmeal, corn meal, enriched o r unrefined, wheat germ, whole wheat flo u r, bread, etc. Another excellent source is liv e r. Pork is considerably higher in Thiamine that other muscle meats. Some nuts, especially peanuts, walnuts and pecans are high in this important vitam in. Other good sources are luncheon meat, rod kklney beans, chickpeas, okra, green peas, fresh and dried soybeans and brewer's yeast. Care must be used in cook ing as high temperatures can destroy Thiamine. Do not overcook vegetables and be sure to use just enough water to cook them w ell. If in soup o r gravy to avoid wasting those precious vitamins. So fo r complete well beir^; be sure you consume foods high in Thiamine, this way you w ill also be eating other members of the B fam ily, which w ill be discussed in later articles.

LARRY MILLER B O D Y SHOP The Portland Social Securi ty office downtown has an nounced today that there is now a new social security informa tion number fo r the public to use, a c c o r d in g to James Pizza, manager. The new number to call is 221-3381. Pizza also said that those people who would like to handle their social security claim s by phone may now call 221-3410 fo r Teleclaim s Service. This special service to the public was initiated e a rlie r this year to enable those who cannot come to the office to take care of their business with a phone ca ll. A well-trained staff of workers specializing in hand ling all types of claim s by phone w ill usually be able to handle most claims with one ca ll. The completed claim s are then mailed to those ap plicants to be signed and re turned with necessary proofs. This saves a great deal of time and expense for both die public and the social security office and eliminates a long wait to see someone about filin g a claim .
