VITAMIN “BUNK." NEW YORK, June 2 Vitamin pills, which the Nazis are reported to have used to build up the morale, endurance, and courage of their troops, have proved a failure in experiments conducted by the United States Army. When Con-

I gress last year extended the service |of draftees beyond 12 months, the morale of draftees dropped a few | points. . Hundreds of "morale pills’' i containing vitamin were taken by the i men, on Army orders, but the pills did not raise the men’s spirits. i Dr. A. Keys, who supervised the ' tests, said that there seems to be little excuse for the therapeutic proi scription of vitamin tonics for the tired businessman and the nervous I club woman.
