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. .

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.

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.

Routine Preparedness Step

Get Instruction Bulletins
Washington, Dec. 26 (U.R)
The -nation's civilian defense
corps has been alerted to the
possibility of enemy robot or
rocket bomb attacks, national
civilian defense officials disclos
ed today.
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.
