A WOMAN'S VIEWPOINT

CALLS FOR CAMPAIGN
ON INTEMPERANCE

BY Hiram Lackey
I ask the old drunken dogs TO
come forth. Howl of the misery of
wrecked lives. Strive to give our
youth the benefit of knowledge
which costs happiness and success.
You who have ruined your lives,
what do you say?
This is a call to arms! We are
drafting the strength and ability Of
genius whose weakness is and
always has been associated with
drunkenness. Make us to see and
hear and actually feel the situation
as it is. And "the god of things as
they are" will bless you.
Long has The Times stood for
education in temperance. Will The
Times please give more editorial
space to crusade of enlightenment
on the subject of booze?
There is a greater need for us 20
study the curse of intemperance
than for us to dwell on the evils Of
Puritanism. In our condemnation
we will be in less danger of mac
curacy.
In all things we have a world to
learn from those stanch men and
women who feared God, believed
each person had a mission in life,
and that each citizen should be for
all and that all should be for each.

OTHER OPINION
Increasing Revenues
Newcastle Courier imesI


Indianas gross income tax revenue
should be considerably increased by
revocation of a temporary regulation
allowing Indiana residents to defer
the reporting for taxation of income
received from sources outside of the
state.
The Supreme Court has upheld
the law and now a tax must be paid
on this income. Principal groups
affected are: Persons living in In
diana who have received income
from employment in other states;
persons who have received dividends
from stocks Of out-of state corpora
tionS or interest from bonds and
other securities from out-of- state
companies; persons who have sold or
received rentals from tangible
property IN other states; persons re-
ceiving alimony paid by residents of
this state or other states regardless
of whether the alimony was award
ed by Indiana courts or courts in
other states.

sun always poured its light and

ASKS LOCAL AUTHORITIES
TO PRESS SAFETY DRIVE

BY Frank Arlin
Your newspaper and the press in
general are to be congratulated and
thanked for the publicity you are
giving to accident prevention work
in an endeavor to reduce the num-
Der of people killed and injured in
automobile accidents. Your first
page list of those 156 Marion Coun-
ty residents killed in 1885 by au-
tomobile accidents should cause us
to drive more safely and sanely in
1886.
However, for an appreciate per-
centage of motorists, there is only
one way to bring about common
sense" driving-that method is by
drastic action, or as Theodore
Roosevelt's expression would be, by
use of the "big stick" In Marion
County that power rests with four
public officials, Chief Morrissey
Sheriff Ray, Judge Dewey Myers and
Judge Charles Karabell.
Until these public officials actu-

ADVISES u. S. TO KEEP
OUT OF WAR

BY Times Reader
Do you want war? Sweden's Red
Cross outfit was bombed in Ethiopia
recently. The Swedish people are
angry.
The American flag and Americans
are there too. Protecting whom? Get
them out of there.
This whole thing looks like a
come-on. italy could buy all of
Ethiopia and save money compared
to getting it by war.
Let's take the only thing we can
from the last war. A lesson. Let's
get away from the war zone and
stay away. It's a suckers trap.
Was the United States justified III
entering the World war? Who did
they fight for? What, if anything,
did they win? Did it end all war?
Did it make the world safe for
Democracy? What would the world
be today if they stayed neutral?
The United States? Remember
crime, prohibition, exports, taxes,
home life must be considered with
the dead, wounded, suffering, cost.
Do your answers say war pays? Or
the next war shall be a defensive
war?
We can have war right here of
our own on crime, auto accidents
and for good, honest government

most of it in bones and teeth.
While most of the body's calcium
is in these structures. about one
tenth of a gram is present IN each
quart of blood. The calcium IN the
blood is extremely important for
body health.
The average grown person re-
quireS about As gram Of calcium
every day. This is about one-Sixti-
eth of an ounce. Expectant mothers
require more calcium, because the
baby draws on the mothers supply
for the growth of its skeleton. NurS-
ing mothers require additional cal
cium so the child may secure suf-
ficient amount in the milk.
The child of from to Is years
Of age requires about twice as much
calcium as the average adult, about
one-thirtieth of an ounce each day.
n
THE baby at birth is calcium
poor. If its bones were as hard
at the time it is born as they be-
come later, many of them would be
broken during the birth process; in
fact, fexibility of the bones of the
child at birth makes it possible for
it to be born without too many in
juries.
Best method of getting calcium
into the body of the child is in
the form of milk. The growing child
requires a quart each day. If it gets
less than that, it is likely to develop
calcium-poor condition, which will
be reflected in its health.
If the normal amount of calcium
in the body is greatly reduced, dis
turbing symptoms appear. Among
these are convulsive or Spasmodic
symptoms called tetany. Infants
with convulsive disorders sometimes
are relieved promptly by adding CAL
cium to their diets.

MILK products also provide call
Iva cium in excellent form. One
and SiX-tenths cubic inches Of
American cheese contain 20 times
as much calcium as four ounces of
lean beef, and II times as much
calcium as one egg yolk.
Swiss cheese contains ID times as
much calcium as cottage cheese,
weight for weight. American
Cheddar cheese contains II per
cent of calcium; Swiss cheese, LOS
per cent, and cottage cheese, OFT
per cent.
Cheese usually contains about
one-third water, one-third fat, and
one-third protein. Since it is milk
in concentrated form, a pound of
cheese represents the amount of
protein and fat available in a GAL
Ion of milk.
Other foods that are rich in
calcium are asparagus, celery,
spinach, peas, beans, cabbage, clans,
carrots, and cauliflower.
