ALL PROCEEDS FROM
kIWANIS PLAY FOR
AUGUSTA HOSPITAL
Auriista General

In selecting the Augusta General
hospital as the special object of its
civic program, the Augusta Kiwanis
Club feels that it is serving the COM
munity in the highest possible way.
Like all similar institutions, the
hospital is always in need of funds.
The Kiwanis Club has obligated it.
self to endow the hospital with a
perpetual free bed, the cost OF which
is $4,000. About a thousand dollars
of this money has already been rails
ed and thousand dollars more Will
be added to the fund by the pro-
the club will present at City hall on
the evening Of February 16. The
ticket sale and the revenue from the
advertising already guarantee sue
cessful results.
Everybody who has been APP
preached to purchase a ticket or take
advertising in the program has done
so cheerfully and with the feeling
that the money will be put to most
worthy end.
The hospital means a nearby in
stitution for the care of those seri-
ously hurt through accident. It
means almost immediate treatment
for those developing sudden and Sc
rtouS illness requiring surgical or
other treatment. 1t means convent
ence for those who desire to visit
friends or relatives who are being
cared for in the hospital. 1t means
a sense of security to those who
know that they may be the next to
need prompt and efficient hospital
treatment. 1t provides a home hos
pital-within a few moments ride
from any part of the city-where
patients may have the services of
their family physician. 1t serves as
a training school for young women
who thus equip themselves to serve
as trained nurses in Augusta homes
when needed. 1t maintains operat-
ing rooms. X-ray and other equip
ment which makes for better serv.
ice to those in need of such service.
If Augusta should be obliged to go
out of town for this service the ex-
pense entailed and the inconvenience
involved would be great. 1t is a
center of influence whose effect is
felt throughout the Kennebec VAL
ley. 1t has been responsible for saw
ing many lives in the past quarter
of a century through the prompt
medical. surgical and nursing treat
| ment which it provides.

from 10 to is per cent of the total
caIories for the day the require.
ment for building material will be
safely met 1t is considered wisest
to look to the fats and carbohy-
drates for our energy supply. One
reason for this is that the body is
given extra work in getting rid OF
the nitrogen left over as a waste
product when much protein is used
as fuel Protein may also prove an
expensive fuel.
In the Institute Daily Diet we
have for this reason advised mod
crate serving OF meat or a meat
substitute only once a day, as with
vegetables the supply Of protein is
assured. Moreover it is highly i'm
portant that our daily protein comes
from a variety of sources--not only
from meat but from milk, eggs and
grains-in order to build body SUBJ
stance or protein satisfactorily.
This is one of many good reasons
for a varied diet. Equally impor-
tant as building and also as regulat-
ing material are the mineral ele-
ments. We now have definite knowl.
edge of the amount or each of these
required for balanced diet.
Sulphur is found in proteins and is
necessary. Phosphorus, iron and
calcium are all essential in the diet,
so we have here listed those foods
comparatively ricI in each of these
elements. For any one of these
elements to be of real use to us, all
must be present. Those foods, such
as spinach celery, cauliflower, cab
bage and carrots, all containing
much water and, therefore, low in
calorie value, should nevertheless
be we'll represented in our daily
meals, as they are important sources
of these mineral elements. This is
one reason why COR Daily Diet ad-
vises 1.-TWO generous servings Of
these daily, and that they shall be
cooked in such way that the
minerals are retained. Milk is our
most valuable source of calcium,
which is another good reason for
our pint a day." We advise an
egg a day chiefly because the yollx
is so rich in iron.
