o o They'll Do It Every MlSS STARCHCAP, THE NURSE.tSVERY WUSQUE-WILL ABIDE NO FRETTING BY THE SKITTISH PATIENTS Corn Found To Have Trap Containing Supply of ! By DELOS SMITH UPI Science Editor New York - (DPI) - Nature let up a man-trap in every ear of corn. This trap has con demned mul titudes to de bilitating ill ness and pre mature death, and it has in fluenced the course of his tory. This dirty natural trick Deloi smith at the 138th was exposed national meet ing of the American Chemical society by the three chemists who found it lurking in the reproductive chemistry of the corn plant. It is a chemical trap which grabs the niacin the plant makes and binds it in such a way it can't be used by the nutritional chemistry of crea tures who feed on corn. The most notable of these is man. Niacin, sometimes called nicotinic acid, is an essential vitamin. Any consistent de privation of niacin results in 1hi Hrpari wastine disease. pellagra, which at Its full blown stage cripples the mind, the nervous system, and the digestion. Although America is the most corn-fed nation on earth, pellagra hardly exists among Americans because their diet has many foods in-it and they get their niacin from other foods. But only a few decades ago pellagra was a problem In some sections of the south where large numbers lived chiefly on corn. Most Deceptive Since corn is among the most attractive of foods, the discovery of its trap makes it the most deceptive. It has pro tein, vitamins, sugars, fats it has everything nutritional ly good except usable niacin. Hogs and cattle flourish on all-corn diets, and so do peo ple, for a time. The taste is wonderful and It grows abundantly with rel atively little effort in all kinds of soils and climates. When the white man first came to the Americas he found large native popula tions subsisting principally on corn and ancient, well established civilizations which were corn-based. Yet these populations and civilizations were conquered without any tremendous try ing by adventurers who in numbers were small bands compared to the numbers iViov nut under their heels. The historical implication of todays scientific revelation oo thai fhinirs would have turned out differently if the conquered had had ample niacin in their diets. Chemical Bonds Broken The corn trap was discover ed by Drs. D. D. Christcnson, .T s Wall and R. J. Dimler of the U.S. Department of Agriculture's researcn laoora tories at Peoria, 111. By break ing the chemical bonds, they released a thousand times more niacin than was freely ...nilqKln in nm rhpmistrV. The scientists confirmed (hnir riisrnverv in feeding ex pcriments with young rats. On diets deficient in niacin, their growth rate was poor, urhon tmnnpH and bonded corn niacin was added to (hir diets, the rate remained poor. When free niacin was added growth rate became BRILL METAL WORKS Camm.rclil Induitrlil Reiid.ntl.1 Sheet Metal Ward StftinUtt, Gilnnlt.d and Cpper '.McOlen 2287 West Main HON!

Christenson said he want ed to investigate the tortilla which is a dietary staple among Indians of some sec tions of Central America. It is a thin cake of corn meal slowly cooked on heated iron or stone. The pellagra rate among heavy tortilla eaters is believed to be much lower than heavy eaters of corn in other forms. He thought the tortilla makers must do some thing in preparing the batter or in the cooking which re leases the bonds of corn nia cin.
