IMPROVING WINTER DIET
USE FOR COCOA SHELL (Received October 22, 10 p.m.) LONDON, October 22. The "Lancet" says that cocoa shell, almost a waste product of the cocoa industry, has been found to possess at least a quarter of the vitamin D content of cod liver oil, and is a likely means of increasing the value of the winter diet in Britain. Experiments have shown that it is useful for cattle foodstuffs. Part of the vitamin D which it contains, when consumed by cows, is conveyed to the milk, so that butter made in winter from this milk will have a vitamin D content equal to summer butter.
