Then it is explained that carbohydrates and fats fur- nish the body's fuel; their sources are shown. Next calcium, builder of the body's foundations, with its sources, and food iron, for red blood. Here a chart indicates the circulatory system, drawing an analogy to irrigation systems used in agriculture. Finally, the vitamins and some of their sources are enumerated. Frances Stern concludes the film with brief summarizing remarks. A good film for classes in health, home economics, science and guidance. Should have some uses in the higher elementary grades, major worth in junior and senior high, and some value in college classes. It is also suited for adult cooking schools, P.-T.A.'s and the like."

In the first part of the film two families are compared. The first one presents a happy scene at the dinner table. But for the second family, the scene is less joyful because no one is hungry. In explaining the reasons for this, the film takes us to a college class- room where an instructor lectures on vita- mins and the various ways by which some of them may be destroyed through im- proper cooking. Water-soluble and fat- soluble vitamins are enumerated and ex- plained, and the values of various mineral foods are also explained. Sources of foods are briefly shown. But before serving, these foods must be cooked. The values of various new features found in the West- inghouse electric ranges are emphasized as the wife in the first home demonstrates her 'Vitaminized' cooking for the wife of the second family. The latter decides to purchase a new range. One complete meal is cooked automatically, using the proper techniques. The two husbands come home and the film concludes with a happy dinner scene as the narrator emphasizes that every housewife is the guard of her fam- ily's health through proper cooking. A fairly good film for home economics, biol- ogy, health, and general science classes. . . Should be useful also for P.-T.-A. and similar adult groups. There is considerable emphasis upon the values to be derived from electric cookery; the sponsor's name is mentioned only once in the narrative. Photography, sound and organization are good."
