Think Of that, little Mary, when
the glamor of Lindbergh daZZles
your eyes and you sigh because
you are not a man. Lindbergh
was brave, gloriously brave-but
Lindbergh's mother was drawer.
He gave his country a record

She gave her country a MAN.

Do not envy men, Mary. Do
not envy those women who will

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
By DR.. C. A. L, Reed

You eat a certain amount of
L minerals every time you
take food. You get these miner
ais through vegetables which
derive them from the soil in pro-
cess of growth.
You get them also through the
meat you eat, but the animals
that furnish the meat derived
them from the vegetables upon
which they fed. which vegetables.
in turn, got them from the soil.
Calcium tlimel is vitality neces-
sary to bone. teeth. heart and
stomach. and its absence renders
the body liable to consumption.
1t is found most abundantly in
cheese, but 1t is also present in
egg-yolk. oatmeal. milk and caul-
flower. Bread. potatoes. cereals
and fruit have hardly any lime in
them and too much bread pre-
vents the body from using the
lime there is and causes bad
teeth and ricketts,. besides often
less noticeable disturbances.
Phosphorus is also necessary
for bone growth. but is present
in nearly all proteins. Cheese is
full of it and egg-yolk. meat.
green vegetables. milk and oat-
meal all contain some.
Iron is essential to form the red
coloring matter in the blood.
which Is the substance that
takes up oxygen from the lungs
and carries it to all the tissues of
the body. Iron is supplied in egg
yolk. meat and green vegetables,
but cheese and milk are deficient
In it.
Iodine deficiency Is the cause
OF many of the ills of civilized
people. both adults and children.
1t is not quite clearly known
which foods are richest in iodine,
but sea fish and food grown near
the sea probably contain it.
These. then. are the substances
which must be present in order
that food may be of sufficient
quality. AS for quantity, we have
heard that man doing moderate
work requires 5000 calories a
day. The following scale gives
an approximate minimum of cal
cries per day for the laboring
man nn1 hi.

Don't Be Extravagant
When you ready to make purchase, why look at
the things that suit your resources?
You go shopping in the wrong spirit
matters whether it be automobiles Shoes buy with
relation to your pocketbook.
It is your purse that must give forth the money
You have right to spend according to the ability of
your richer friend neighbour
And you need not feel ashamed if you cannot buy
pensivey.
There are always good things and reasonable.
But you must spend time in looking around.
However, you waste time and you waste clerks time
when look ongngly things you have the money
to purchase.
Get this thought thoroughly into your head that your
resources will bear only much relative expenditure
Get into understanding just what article should
cost to be within your means, and keep to your limit.
