Ten per cent of guava added to other fruits in the preparation of jams and jellies more than doubles the vitamin C content of the mixture. In other words, ofte pound of guavas contains as much of the scurvy-prevehting vitamin as nine pounds of the other fruits named. As the vitamin C content of guava varies widely in accordance; with the variety of the fruit and it$ ripeness, scientific cultivation might produce high-yielding strains with an even higher vitamin content than the wild fruit which is now largely increased fifteen minutes at the request of the Office of Defense Transportation.

Experiments have proven that in the central part of the retina known as the fovea, which is the area of sharpest vision, retina) images may be less than one thousandth of an inch in size. Images brought to a focus outside the central area must be several times as large to give distinct vision. Because of this difference in acuity in the retinal areas in tasks involving close focusing, as in reading, the eyes are turned so that the images are brought to a focus in the retina's Fire Signals Fires, glowed to the Athenians the fall of Troy, and more than 2,000 years later h <11 top fires across Kent reported to London the arrival of the Spanish Armada.
