_ Mr. Fe M. Rogers, f his a a
: Wellington, Kansas.

Dear Forrest: _ a eo

T owe you many apologies for not immediately answering your
inquiry regarding the vitamins for your.sons. I intended to write you,
immediately and congratulate both Harold and Gerald on whipping Wichita
North, but in the rush of things failed to do this. And I have been
_ terribly rushed with extracurricular activities, as well as the drive
down the championship path, but still that is no exouse for not follow-
ing through on your inguiry.

You tell Harold we would be delighted to have him in our Sohool
of Education, which has a major in Physical Education, a life diploma :
to teach is given, and if he shouid want to take medicine or some other :
professional work, he could do it. We have medical physiology and
anatomy and many of the requirements that are necessary for other pro-
fessions could be utilized in following in either Law or Medicine, should
he decide to change. . |

. These vitamins will aid in keeping him strong and will reinforce
his decision to carry a full load, although he is pretty young for it.
His adherence to training rules is most commendable, and I know that
athletics are an impelling force in aiding a youngster to keep clean.

I passed on the check immediately to Quig, but held your letter,
thinking that I would immediately respond. But as usual, it got covered
up in the continuous incoming mail, | ,

Now -- we give our boys glycolixir and betulin. In the winter time
the sun'# rays are shorter admitting fewer vitamins from the natural sun-
‘shine, and the expectoration of the individuals which gets into the air
adds to the infeotion. Naturally, the strain upon the heart is something,
although I believe that by exercising you vitalize the tissues more than
by not exercising. But to keep from the danger of overdoing these vitemins
do their job. We have used these on our boys since 1940 and at the end of
the playing season our athletes are in better physioal condition than when -
they started. They are not worn or tired.

The glycolixir is by Squibbs and the betulin is by Ely Lilly and
Company. A pint or @ quart would be sufficient to start on, although we
buy it in five gallon lots. Any of your first olass druggists will be
able to get it for you. :
