WHO LACKS CAL The ordinary mixed diet ol American and Europeans, at least among dwellers in cities and towns, is probably more d e f 1 c 1 ent In calcium than In any other chemical e 1 e -ment. So says S h e r man, in the fifth edi tion of his textbook "Chemistry of Food and Nu trltlon" (Mac- Br. Brady millan. '37), . Kugelmass, author of one of the foremost modern textbooks on diseases of children, iinas that in most cases of children with low calcium Intake the need Is to increase the absorp tion or assimilation or utiliza tion of calcium rather than just to increase the total calcium in- It is true that nearly 99 per cent of the three pounds of cal cium, 70 to 80 per cent of the IVi pounds of phosphorus and 70 per cent of the 1V4 ounces of magnesium in the body of a healthy adult are contained In the bones and the teeth. But we should not lose sight of the fact that calcium is just as essential for strong blood, nerves, glands and secretions as It is for strong - bones and teeth. A British authority, Mrs. May Mellanby concluded from her researches and laboratory and clinical studies that the amount of calcium (and phosphorus) necessary for perfect calcifica tion, development and preserva tion of the teeth may be com paratively low, if the Individual gets an abundance of vitamin D; on the other hand even a large supply of calcium in the food will not be utilized unless the individual gets enough vita min D. ' Keeping lit mind the fact that calcium is as essential for sound blood, glands and nerves as It Is for sound bones and teeth, consider next the universal prac tice of physicians today pre scribing regular rations of vita min D in one form or another to supplement the diet of every Infant and young child. . Prof. E. V. McCollum, one of Y v AM Olive f Barber's Observations Mail bag: An elderly woman has little sympathy for me and my sleepless nights with their imaginary forbodlngs of ills to come. She says why not think of the funny things which' have happened instead of the sad things which have not and may never, happen. She was lying awake one night and got to thinking of an incident in her childhood and laughed until the tears came. It seems it was a cold night and a lot of the kith and kin had come to stay for a few days You know how it used to be peopfe didn't pay calls: they came a-visltlng; said visits aften lasting several days or even a week. Short of bed cov ering, her father had suggested to mother that they use the win dow curtains on their bed; he meant it. I think maybe the sug gestion was followed, or t h e memory of it would not have proved so highly entertaining to my reader friend. This woman thinks troubles 1 Humphrey will buy it. sell your car to us we'll pay higher cash prices now HUMPHREY MOTORS 33 8. Riverside Dial 4980 I I" A YICK SO CHINESE HERB CO. I Removed CIUM AND WHY the discoverers of vitamin A (which was formerly confused with vitamin D) has been quot ed as saying: "Deficiency of vitamin D may be the most inv portant dietetic deficiency in the world today." (Country Gentleman. Feb. '39). The reason why competent physicians universally prescribe vitamin D for Infants and young children is, of course, the fact that it is practically impossible to get enough vitamin D from foods suitable for Infants or young children. Indeed, it is practically . impossible, in my opinion, for growing children, youths, young adults or mature adults to get enough vitamin D from their diet. And so but who am I to horn in on this symposium of nutrition author ities? To get back to calcium we'll deal with the vitamin D aspect of the question later the best food sources of calcium are milk, cheese, greens or leafy vegetables ' preferably raw but even cooked (cooking dissolves out considerable of the calcium which is still, excellent food if the cooking water is used for soup, gravy, etc.), eggs, peanuts, nuts, and vegetables that are good to eat raw, such as turnips, carrots, celery. . QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS .' , Plus of Ear Wax Every few years ear wax requires removal. Each general practitioner, gave me halt an hour of discomfort squirting and scraping. The last time a specialist had me put warm olive oil In ear canal and keep it plugged with cotton over night, to soften the wax. Next day he syringed it and the plug came away without any dis comfort, all In a Xew seconds. (C. M.) Answer Thank you. I believe I for got to mention the preliminary soft ening of the plug in that way before the syringing, when I discussed the trouble here recently. Strong soluUon of saleratus (baking soda, sodium bi carbonate) In a spoonful of glycerin and water may be dropped In ear frequently the day before syringing to remove plub of ear wax. Communicable Disease We are a family of 7. the children ranging in age from 18 months to 12 years. It seems we have one cold after anotner all winter. (Mrs. F. M. C.) Answer Perhaps you fall to take proper precautions against the spread of such InfecUon from one to an other member of the household. Per haps In your seal to avoid exposure to harmless eondiUons such as cold. drafts, dampness, sudden changes, you keep the kids cooped indoors where they can pass whatever one of mem nrings nome to tne otners, you may learn something to the arivant. age of your family's health by study ing the booklet "Call it Crl" for which send 25 cents and stamped self addressed envelope.

The action,. OCD emphasized. is merely one ol routine pre paredness and "should not be in terpreted to cause any alarm." "We want the public to be come conscious of but not ex cited about the possibility of a robot attack." a spokesman said. "Our protection instruction bul letin is in line with the policy of being prepared for any even tuality." . . Instructions Sent The agency said it had dis tributed to all state councils protection bulletins covering in structions to civilians "regard ing their conduct in the event of robot or rocket bomb attacks." Meanwhile, several defense units in the eastern defense com mand were reported to have been re-activated to study pre parations for .additional defense and protection in the event of a V-bomb attack. OCD said governors of Mary land, Pennsylvania and Virginia met recently with eastern de fense command army officials and civilian defense chiefs to discuss re-activation of "certain civilian defense services." In Newark, N. J., William Doyle, air raid precautions chief, said his 70-man rescue squad would be reinforced immediate ly to at least 300 workers who will receive "intensified train ing and rehearsal for the V-3 threat." New Threat "This rocket threat is some thing brand new," Doyle said. "We haven't had much coming out of England or France re garding the type of protection we will need, That is something the defense heads will have to study Immediately. Action will follow receipt of such data." The Massachusetts defense council also was reported to have adopted "specific regular tlons" to govern civilian defense units. Instructions from the OCD bulletin advise the public to dive behind any protection available or lie face down and protect your head and face with your arms." Shelter must be sought in the event of continued bombings, the bulletin said.
