Dietary Treatment
of Anenia

So many people are weak and
susceptible to serious illness be-
cause they are anemic. By this we
mean that they do not have enough
blood or that their blood is de-
ficient in red blood-cells. The ma
jority of these cases are secondary
in character, following blood loss
from long bleeding hemorrhoids,
excessive menstruation, frequent
nosebleeds, following infections as
typhoid fever, influenza, and in as
ISOLATION with chronic disorders
such as nephritis and wasting
diseases.
These cases are to be differen-
tiated from pernicious anemia,
which, so far as we know, now is
primary condition arising in the
blood-making organs but having a
far-reaching effect over all organs
of the body. This is the type of
anemia that was highly fatal until
we found that massive doses of
liver arrested the process.
However, it is the secondary type
of anemia that is so common and
which we can easily. clear up by
removing the underlying cause Gas
enumerated above in party and sup
plying iron to the body to build up
the red blood content. Iron is
needed especially because it is one
of the chief constituents of the
hemoglobin which, in turn, gives
the "body" or strength to the red
blood corpuscles.
Along with medicinal treatment,
the diet is very important. The
following is a group of foods which
should be eaten to materially as

anemia.

Friedman Says
Business Has
Turned Corner

Joseph Friedman, owner of the
new $4,000 Strand service station,
said at its opening two weeks ago:
Business has turned the cor
ner, and unless some unseen men,
ace causes a setback, the future
will be brighter than ever before
visioned."
The new establishment, designed
by Johnson and Johnson, archi-
tects, is of the modernistic type,
and is furnished with the latest
and most efficient equipment.
Besides having the latest type
of gasoline pumps, those that in
form the customer the exact
amount of the purchase as we'll as
the quantity, the station has two
grease stalls, equipped with n.y.
draulic hoists and the latest appa-
ratus for greasing and serving new
model cars, and a wash rack. 1t

loop"

1t is desirable that citizens of
Minneapolis will bear in mind the
fact that this is their program in
their settlement house. Leisure
time activities, supervised along the
constructive lines of education,
citizenship, conduct, friendship, are
fundamental and permanent factors
in daily life and Negro citizens
should participate fully in this pro-
gram.
These classes are not formal be-
cause the intrinsic worth of the
educational fellowship is the thing
stressed. Whether it is Social
Problems or Handicrafts; ORA
MATES or Sewing, the participant
will find an answer to the funda-
mental needs: cultural, appetitive,
emotional and social so necessary
in the enjoyment of a full, whole
some life.

SYNOPSIS

Ten DAYS after beautiful Lucinda
stanfOrd's meeting with wealthy Car
ter Chalaire, he confesses his love
for her. However, socially prominent
Zita Van Worst has her cap set for
Carter with the approval of his moth
er. Lucinda is happy in the thought
that Carter wants to marry her but
her heart sinks when, in reply to her
ouestion as to what his mother will
saw, he replies: Mother needn't know
a thing about it..What's it got to do
with my family" Then one night,
Carter does not appear. The next
evening, Lucinda learns from Bubbles,
her gOld-digging sister, that Carter
Zita. The same night, Catrer calls
but says nothing of his engagement
although he speaks of the futility of
life and how, when one really begins
to learn what happiness means, some
thing bobs up to spoil it. Carter in
duces Lucinda to go to Lake MahOpac
for the weekend. AS a result, she
loses her position as an advertisement
writer, but secures another as hostess
at a fashionable gambling establish
ment. One evening. Carter visits the
club while intoxicated and loses $780,
900. Later, he hears the proprietor
tell Lucinda that her commission on
the loss is $500. Although she is in
nocent Carter believes Lucinda framed
him and breaks with her. His en-
gagement to Zita is announced.

out exactly what you'd call jolly old
home-bird mean, she rather
declines to decorate the domestic
hearth! I was in the 'Merry-Go-
Round yesterday-that adorable
speak where the jolly old bar re-
wolves like spinning top-Zita was
spinning around with a good-looking
Argentine dancer-I call it a bit thick
on young Carter!"
"Was he there too?" Lucinda for
ced herself to ask, through dry lips.
"Not at all. He's working hard
downtown. Rumor has it that the
bally old firm is bit rocky"
"But his father is a millionaire e"

these days! What with the jolly old
market bouncing up and down, it's
here today and gone tomorrow"
Ensued a pause. Then Lucinda
asked, shyly: "Bertie, do you ever
see Carter?"
81 saw him at the Embassy Club
directly after they returned from
their honeymoon. They were only
away ten days, you know. They
went on his yacht, and Zita got sea-
sick or sick of the sea, or maybe
haw! haw! haw!-sick Of Carter!"
"Did-did he seem happy, Bertie?'
Oh, this was terribly undignified, this
questioning-but she must know.
"He was tight as a lord, my dear!
Worcester Democrat and the ledger-enterprise. (Pocomoke City, Md.) 1921-1953, 1935-12-06

Absolutely blotto! Rather indeli-
cate for a bridegroom in his first
public appearance after the jolly old
honeymoon. But I understand it wasn't
so jolly as one might think. What
ho"
"You mean-they aren't getting
along as well as they might? Is
that it, Bertie?"
81 mean, the fair Zita is a bit of
hell-cat! Haven't met her myself
but 1 know several Of her so-called
friends. By the way, she was hung
like q plush horse with the Chalaire
family jewels! It seems that Mrs.
Chalaire Senior, whose health is
pretty wonly, has given them to her
daughter-in7law in custody. Or so
the report goes. BY the way, they're
living in a gorgeous Park Avenue
apartment! Zita selected all the fur
niture herself. I understand that
when they got back from the honey
moon, there was a duece of row
over the bills!"
Going home on the Elevated that
night, Lucinda was shocked to read
of the sudden death of Mrs. Chalaire
Senior, of heart failure.
When she arrived at her solitary
little apartment, to her surprise she
found BERTHE Sprigg on the doorstep,
waiting for her.
He, too, had an evening paper. He
had come to expatiate on this news
item, and was disappointed that al
ready Lucinda had read it.
after I left you today, l dropped
in for a jolly old game of pool at
the Yale Club" he announced, sink
ing on Lucinda's couch in the living
room and elegantly draping his long
legs over the rear end. "There was
chap there who'd been dining at
the Chalaire's place at Hewlett last
night, just before the poor old lady
kicked the bucket"
Lucinda murmured: ooh, BERTHE,
you use such dreadful expressions"
"But ant, my dear child-apt,"
said BERTHE, lighting his pipe and
warming to his theme. "Now this
chap at the Yale Club is young but
quite a financier. The Chalaires, pere
ct fills, were evidently seeking his
advice or help in some manner. Zita
was there too. But when it came to
the nuts and port, she wisely left
them to it, and vamoosed upstairs
to her mother-in-law. She wasn't as
tactful there as she had been below,
it seems. In fact, she started an
awful argument with the old lady"
what happened?" breathed Lucin-

INCREASED use of iodine in many chemical and
i industrial processes where cost formerly made it
prohibitive. is predicted by Arthur D.. Little, Inc,
chemists of Cambridge, Mass.
The cost of iodine has steadily decreased as a re-
suit of competition in the international market be-
tween the countries which can produce it.
For about half a century, the company states.
Chile produced the bulk of the worlds iodine, pro-
ducing it none too efficiently as a by-product Of its
nitrate industry. About 100000 pounds of iodine
were produced annually and this sold at a price of
approximately $3.50 a pound, bringing in a sum in
excess of %S6!000000.
Only a small amount of iodine was produced else
where. A few countries, particularly France and
Japan. produced some from seaweed. which when
dried consists of almost so per cent iodine by weight.
This was the situation which obtained until 1923.
In that year a process was developed for removing
iodine from the salt water which accompanies the
oil from certain wells in California and Louisiana.
These wells were able to produce as much as 1900
pounds a day. thus meeting about three-fourths of
the annual American demand for 600,000 pounds.
Then Italy. as a measure of national security. be-
gan to produce its own iodine from deep wells. More
recently. Russia has entered upon the production of
iodine.
n n q
TINE result of this. according to Little, is that the
Il price began to go down. The price of Chilean
iodine fell to 81 in 1888 and is now said to be only
81 a pound.
AS a further result. the consumption of iodine by
industry has begun to so up. During the first seven
months of this year, Little reports. more than 1900
600 pounds of odine we're bought by this country
from Chile. This is twice as much as was formerly
used by the country in an entire year.
The chief use for iodine Is in the medical field,
particularly for the making of tinCture of iodine, the
well-known antiSeptic. However. it is useful in GER
tain dyes and as a ~catalyst for certain chemical
processes. It has also been considered as an ingredi-
ent Of anti-knock motor fuels.
= =
NNE Of the big questions at present is how Chile
~ can afford to make the iodine price. Some au-
thorities claim that Chile can produce it at IS cents
a pound with profit.
The drop in price already has reacted unfavor-
ably for the companies of the Irish Free State which
have been producing iodine from Seaweed.
Whether or not Chile can bring the price below
that at which it can be produced economically from
American oil wells remains TO be seen.

Building Time Is Here

7 mike the leaves We stir about and make little
speeches and shrill noises but we are not wise
enough to engage in the great tasks of building
the hurricane.
That structure which we call our economic system
certainly has been sadly battered but now in the lull
we have not set about replacing it with steel girders
and mighty blocks of concrete for a new foundation.
Instead we see all around us patriots with paint pots
intent on prettifying the illas of lath and plaster
which soon Will be whirlng through the air and
breaking the windows of honest mems houses.
If we build right we can not only survive but also
save those things in our civilization which are hon
orable and just and worth the saving. But it can
not be done with piety and paint.
Listen intently. Can't you hear the stiffness?
Can't you feel the weight of the air which does not
fill our lungs? Now is the time of decision. Are we
men or merely a set of straws to catch the wind?
