WHEN BETTER CALCIUM IS AVAILABLE WHY NOT USE IT?
At fJ . '
Because I have noticed that
you are never averse to making
a retraction or acknowledging
error it you
make a wrong
state ment, I
should like to
ask about your
earlier recom
m e n dation of
calcium lactate
(writes Mrs. S
R. F.) More re
cently you sug
gest di-calcium
phosphate
some times.
Dt Bred? ' other times
you suggest calcium gluconate.
My sisters take calcium lactate
ior leg cramps, lor dizziness, and
Lord knows what and so we
wonder why you have switched
to the other salts of calcium.
I switched from calcium chlor
ide and calcium lactate some six
or, eight years ago because I
found that most people more
readily take calcium gluconate
or di-calcium phosphate. Then,
too, I was biased in favor of the
latter because it supplies phos
phorus as well as calcium, and in
nearly all Instances If there is
calcium shortage or deficicnty
these is phosphorus shortage or
deficiency too, for these two
elements occur naturally in
chemical combination in the best
food sources of calcium and phos
phorus, such as milk, cheese,
wheat, beans, peas, peanuts, cab
bage, lettuce.
Calcium lactate Is still a good
form of calcium for the treat
ment of tendency to bleed ex
cessively, tetany hay fever, asth
ma, and the like, but calcium
gluconate has proved less Ir
ritating and equally effective,
and di-calcium phosphate, sup
plying phosphorus as well as
phorus is required for normal
calcium metabolism or assimila
tion and utilization in the body
and vice versa, and further that
vitamin D is essential ior either
or both.
And so I switched from cal
cium chloride and calcium lac
tate, which I think are still the
calcium preparations of choice
for intramuscular or, better, in
travenous injection in emerg
encies such as lead or gallstone
or renal colic or tne paimui
cramps of black widow spider
bite, to calcium gluconate and
dl-calcium phosphate always
combined with an adequate
amount of vitamin D.

Red Cross Club in Ceylon Draws
GI's With Friendliness and Food
Br Walter Logan
United Press Staff Correspondent
Colombo, Ceylon (U.PJ The
Cross Roads Club of the Ameri
can Red Cross, a closely-guarded
military secret until SEAC head
quarters moved to Colombo, is
probably the only club ln the
world whose doorman was
stabbed because Mrs, Roosevelt
isn't a buddhlst.
That episode occurred shortly
after someone hung a picture of
tha First Lady across the street
from a shrine. An Irate and ir
responsible Buddhist, erroneous
ly regarding the club's harmless
old doorman as a connecting
ling, cut him severely with a
knife.
The club, started last spring
with considerable difficulty by
Mlsi Flo Griffin of Cincinnati
(no one in Ceylon apparently
had heard of a Red Cross club
befort), not only has proved an
object of awe- and admiration to
tha natives, but has given con
siderable Impetus to the tomb
atoTTe industry.
Counters From Tombstones
Miss Griffin, who acquired
and furnished the place by mes
merizing local officials until she
got what she wanted, required a
sanitary surface for the snack
bar counter, but was told only
wood was available. A tour of
inspection of Ccylonese Indus
tries brought her face to face
with a tombstone maker, who
agreed to slice the stone a lot
thinner Now the manufacturer
aells more slabs than tombstones.
The club at the moment Is run
by Mrs Lettle Mae Drexler of
Port Gibson, Miss., a buxom dog
fancier and a second mother to
lonesome GI's and Navy Armed
Guard crews who rcKnrd her as
an angel of mercy who not only
keeps them sober and out of mis
chief, but gives practical advice
to the lovelorn.
It's a notable fact that In
everyday life all of the GI's
and sailors call her "Lottie
Mae," but when they write her
letters of thanks or letters ask
ing what to do about fickle fe
males, they address her as "Deor
Mom." She In turn regards them
all as her. children and knows
more by name than the average
company commander.
Big Attracliom Food
The Red Cross club is easy to
find, as it is one of the few J
places In Colombo where there
are music and lights after dark.
Once a sailor or soldier wanders
In, he usually is entranced by
tha homelike atmosphere and
rarely wanders out again Into
trouble
Lottie Mae has a practical
viewpoint toward those who
drink too much of the local ar
rack (a dynamite-like brew of
distilled coconut Juice) and says
simply, "I like to get them here
before they go drinking; If I
don't, I'd rather have them
drunk ln here than somewhere
else." Such cases are infrequent,
but when they occur the victim
is given cold showers by his com
rades and hot coffee by Lottie
Mae and usually is profoundly
grateful.
Probably the greatest attrac
tion of the club If the home-
cooked food, prepared by Cry
lonesc cooks under the watchful
eye of Miss Zeda Davis of Charl-
estown, V Va. To her has fallen
the Job of teaching the cooks (1)
how to cook American style, (2)
to keep the premises spotlessly
clean, and (3) to swat the occas
ional flies which wander In. She
has been remarkably successful

Congress Forced To Take
Steps To Abolish Useless
Agencies- Candidate Says ;
Br Charles B. Segges
United Press Correspondent
Butte, Mont., Oct. 8. U.R)
The executive branch of the fed
eral government is a patch-work
of disorder and confusion which
must be unscrambled ln the post
war era, Gov. John W. Bricker,
of Ohio, said today.
. Despite all the war powers
granted President Roosevelt,
congress "has had to take into
its own hands the abolition of
useless agencies," the Republi
can vice presidential candidate
said in a speech prepared for de
livery here.
Still Patchwork
Congress liquidated the Civil-
Ian Conservation Corps, the Na
tional Youth Administration
and the - National Resources
Planning board, and pressured
the president into "finally"
abolishing the Works Projects
administration, Bricker asserted.
'But all these attempts at re
organization have been insuffici
ent," Bricker said. "The execu
tive branch of the federal gov-
ernment still is a patchwork of
disorder and confusion.
A wise reorganization of gov
ernment, he continued, must
contain a "relaxing of power in
Washington and a delegation of
that authority to the local agen
cies, scattered far and wide over
the land."
"The Republican party," he
promised, "is prepared to pro
ceed with the business of gov
ernmental reorganization along
the lines I have outlined, adding
that the Republican governors'
committee has made a report on
the problem which might well
be our guide."
After tonight's address in
Great Falls, Bricker leaves for
Spokane, Wash., for a brisk cam
paign tour of the Pacific coast
states.
Sunday Holiday
Bricker took a holiday from
politics yesterday, although he
made eight rear platform ap
pearances while his train was
traveling across Minnesota and
North Dakota.
In the latter states, he ran
head-on into a three-cornered
race for U. S. senator between
one Democratic and two Repub
lican candidates.
The Ohioan steered a middle
course and permitted himself to
be introduced at Fargo by Lynn
U. Stambaugh, Independent Re
publican candidate, and at
Jamestown by Sen. Gerald P.
Nye, the regular GOP nominee
who defeated Stambaugh by a
narrow majority of 972 votes in
the primary last June.
Both Stambaugh and Nye em
phasized they did not want to
embroil Bricker ln their state
fight and Stambaugh said he was-
certain that the two-way Repub
lican race would not split the
party vote and permit Gov. John
Moses to win. Nye, however,
charged that the whole thing
was a "new deal trick" to help
the Democratic candidate win.

Ernest E. Kafoed, special rep
resentative of the New York
