1T long has been known that a
4 certain amount of iron is neces-
sary to the human body. It's chief
function seems to be in relation
ship to the carrying of oxygen by
the blood.
The average man needs about
one-quarter grain of this sub
stance a day to keep the body sup
piled fully.
Not only the iron in the red blood
cells, but also that in the other cells
of the body has certain functions.
as a result of this recently &C
quired knowledge relative to the
way in which iron is used in the
body, promoters of all sorts of
food substances and patent pre-
parations are forcing them on the
public, with claims for the iron
content.
The average person might really
believe that all of us were suffering
with a shortage of iron in our
bodies.
However, a good average diet usu-
ally contains about enough iron to
supply the body's needs.
Some of the special diets ar
ranged for weight reduction or for
other purposes are distinctly short
in this element, and on such diets
a person might actually suffer with
iron shortage.
Arranged in order with reference
to the amount of iron that they
contain, the richest substance is
parsley and the smallest lemon
juice.

little fantastic but it probably reflects some truth
about the effects of foreign loans short period
These two views typical of the wide range of
conflicting opinion about the significance of our enor-
nous exports of capital.
To some it seems extremely unfortunate that an
undeveloped country such ours in need of capital
Improvement and with large number of idle work
ers, should be pouring forth its treasure in more
less risky foreign loans, offering attractive rate of
interest.
Others regard our foreign loans as giving promise
of improvement in worldwide economic conditions,
essential to the future prosperity of this country
Somewhere, in this great array of conflicting
opinions, there must be elements of truth which,
patched together, would shed badly needed light
increasingly important national and international
question.
We would welcome guide to them.

/ What was the direct cause and
result of the opium war between
China and England?
The opium traffic between India
and China had grown to gigantic
proportions and had become a
source of wealth to the British
merchants and of revenue to the
Indian government. The Chinese
government. having become alive to
the evils of the growing use of the
narcotic, resisted the importation
of the drug. That brought about
the opium war which England
forced upon China. China was de-
feated and had to acquiesce in con-
tinuance of the traffic. She also
lost to Great Britain the island and

We do not fear Smith; in fact,
we have a lot of admiration for
his courage and honesty; never

have come to know.

fruits, the nuts, the cereals, and
poultry are in that order rich in

Many foods vary greatly in their
iron content, depending on the soil
in which they are raised or other
factors.
For instance, recent investiga-

indianapolis high school prin-
cipals today received letters from
Business Director Albert F. Walls
man announcing new restrictions
on handling school funds, as result
of a recent State board of accounts
report criticising loaning of cafe
terra and book funds to teachers.
In the future, the board has
decided, all cafeteria and other high
school funds reaching $4,000 must
be deposited equally in the four
national banks here within ten days
after reaching that figure.
Persons having charge of the
funds will be required to provide
suitable surety bond.
Plan General Audit
Each high school is to pay its share
for having an auditor prepare
formal reports to be submitted
monthly, if the board so requests.
The accounts board report showed
a balance of more than $4,000 in
the Arsenal Technical High School
cafeteria and book fund, most Of the
sum being deposited in single bank
The report showed loans of sew
eral thousand dollars from the
Shortridge High School lunchroom,
Daily Echo and book exchange
which were termed illegal Most of
the loans were to teachers and were
without interest.
Plan Future Loans
Most of the loans at Shortridge
have been repaid. Principal George
Buck said, and the remainder is
being paid in. Buck issued in
structions several months ago no
more loans were to be permitted.
Decision of the school board re-
quiring depositing of such funds
when they reach $4,000 in desig-
mated banks was for protection of
the funds and to prevent future
loans.
