Congressman Frank Hancock's
lOPromises To People ON. c,

In his opening speech made in Ra-
leigh over WPTF, Congressman
Frank Hancock, candidate for the
llNnited States Senate, made the fol-
lowing ten promises to the people
of North Carolina:
First, shall not make my maiden
speech in the United States Senate
in support of bar rooms for the Dis
trict of Columbia, nor will my last
last speech be in advocacy of the
establishment of race track. 1
will devote my time and energies to
the real and definitely serious quee-
tons confronting our Nation.
Second, will not have as my
secretary citizen Of Virginia or of
any other State except North Caro-
lima. am not only confident can,
but am determined to, employ my
from native State such people as I
need and ann allowed. When North
Carolina fails to have among its
citizenship the brains ! require it
will then be time for me to come
home and retire from public life.
Third, I shall not sell the name
and dignity of your Senatorship to
anybody or any concern, be it a
slick "alien" trading with the war
Department or a brand of cigarette
which may or may not smoke. AS
long as'I am your representative the
title to that Office shall be and re-
MAN. vested in the people of North
Carolina. ! shall be your Senator
responsible to you and beyond the
touch of any interest, save the in
| terest of the people Of our great
Estate.
Fourth, shall not follow the SEN
sationalism of William Randolph
Hearst, arch enemy of President
Roosevelt, or any other foe of pro-
gressive government. I will get my
publicity on the basis of construc
tivev accomplishments or do with
out publicity.
Fifth, shall not, through concern
over the free access Of liquor, offer
any silly bills providing that it may
be given to dumb animals; but in
stead will give thought ito the seri-
Gus problems of State and Nation
and expect our intelligent people,
by referendum, to determine the
sort of liquor laws they may want.
Sixth, / shall not for months at a
time leave the affairs of North Car
DINA to the discretion of resident
of Virginia or anybody else, but
shall serve the people who elect
me. My Office shall be open, not
closed, to those who have business
with me during Office hours.
Seventh, I shall not belittle the

Iron-Rich Foods

To maintain top health and pre-
vent the possibility of nutritional
anemia, the homemaker must
learn to meet the daily iron re-
quirement of her family and not
leave this vital matter to chance.
IrOn-rich foods include egg
yOlk, liver, mOlasseS, dried beans
and peas, whole grain cereals,
lean meat and green leafy vege-
tables. While milk has only a
small amount of iron, experiments
show that its iron is readily alb
sOrbed and is utilized to good adj
vantage.
Eggs are such an excellent
source of iron that one egg yields
about one-tenth of the standard
requirement. Lean meat furnishes
a considerable amount, but liver is
so much richer that it should be
eaten frequently. Dried beans are
inexpensive and when baked with
molasses become a good source
of iron.
1t is pity that parsley is so
often used only as a garnish, be-

Lack OF Iron May Lead TO Anemio

In many young people the blood
does not function normally, though
frequently parents are unaware
that anything is wrong. You may
scold them for being lazy, for
lacking interest in their work, or
never needing the things you tell
them, when the real trouble is due
to iron starvation which, if long
continued, may lead to anemia.
The person who has a tendency
toward anemia usually tires cas-
lily and lacks pep; complains of
cold hands and feet; worries over
trifes, and may have a complex
ion that is anything but rosy.
The great danger of an iron
deficient diet is that it deprives
the body of its chief defense
against disease. For when the
quality of the blood is poor, one
becomes an easy prey to infection.
Moreover, if a serious illness Oc-
ours, lowered resistance makes it
difficult to fight it off.

Noted Jewish Patriot

The name of a Jewish patriot who
helped finance Washington army
was Haym Solomon. He was born
in Prussian Poland and came to
this country while a young man.
Because of his devotion to the pa
triot cause he was imprisoned in
New York by the British, but es-
capped and came to Philadelphia,
where he became a banker and
amassed wealth, says the Philadel-
phia Inquirer. The services of this
Jewish banker were called upon by
Robert Morris and he advanced
large sums of money to the govern
ment for which he and his heirs
were never reimbursed. For two
years he supported the Spanish
minister and helped other diplo-
mats. Haym Solomon was a men,
Der of the Congregation Mickveh Is
rael, occupying the site at Broad
and York streets. He died in 1874.
The Coolidge examiner., 1938-05-26
Copper Also Necessary

Investigation has demonstrated
that adequate iron alone is not
enough to prevent nutritiOnal ane-
mia, for the body cannot convert
iron into blood pigment unless
copper is also present. Therefore,
in order to obtain the full bene-
fits of iron, the diet must contain
sufficient copper. Foods that sup
ply copper in abundance are liver,
nuts, dried beans and peas. Small
er but significant amounts are pro-
vided by whole grain cereals,
dried fruits and poultry.

hOmemaker list of FOODS rich in
both iron and copper, ard also

terial and keep the bodybuilding

Fat and Starch Foods.

Those of us who lived before the
automobile was invented will re-
member that there was not the
large number of overweight men
and women that we see today. Nat
urally the overweight of today is
blamed upon the automobile, the
elevator, the escalator in our stores,
the electric washer. electric ironer,
and all the other electrical appli-
ances that lessen the work of men
and women. Formerly walking to
work or elsewhere was taken as a
matter of course, whereas a journey
Of even half a mile today usually
means the use Of the automobile.
There is no question but that all
these labor saving" devices are
big factor in causing much of the
overweight of today. A brisk walk
Of half mile, or a more leisurely
walk of a mile not only burns up
some fat tissue, but by keeping off
some fat and keeping heart and
lungs more active, there is a natur-
al desire to take more exercise
rather than the desire to sit or lie
down. There is really nothing like
exercise to burn up fat and stimu-
late the desire for more exercise
a beneficial circle of events; rather
than the vicious circle-less exer-
else, more rest, and so more fat.
However, in all fairness it cannot
be said that overweight-is entirely
due to lack of exercise, because in
most cases it is the excess amount
of food, and food rich in food or
fuel value, that is even more re-
sponsible for overweight than lack
of exercise.
The two kinds of food that are
most responsible for overweight are
the fat foods and the starch foods.
1t is estimated that the people of
North America have learned to eat
two or three times as much fat food
as was eaten Is years ago, and at
least five times as much sugar.
Fat is consumed chiefly in milk,
cream, cooking fats, cheeses, salad
dressings, egg yolk, bacon, fatty
meats and fish. nuts, rich 'gravies,
sauces, pastries and puddings

Two Forms OF Anemid

Anemia may be due to loss Of
blood, deficient blood formation,
or to increased blood destruction
in the body. The different forms
of the disease are sometimes clas-
sifed as primary and secondary
anemia.
Primary anemia is usually
known as pernicious anemia. 1t
is a grave condition in which the
marrow of the bones has lost its
power to make red blood cells.
Secondary or nutritional anemia
may result from loss Of blood in
an accident, or it may follow a
long, infectious illness. For any
infection lowers the iron reserve
in the body. But the most COM

strawberries and raw leafy vege-'
tables, such as cabbage.
Mrs. r. b. C.-Yes, it is true
that cooking vegetables leads to
reduction Of their carbohydrates,
the amount being determined by
the structure of the food; the
method and length of cooking; the
amount of water used; and the
size Of the pieces. Generally
speaking, there is a decrease of
one-third to one-half of the carbo-
hydrates after cooking in water.
Relocating vegetables further de-
stroys their carbohydrates.
X. B. M.-The theory that pro-
TENS and carbohydrates cannot be
efficiently digested at the same
time has no scientific basis. Many
foods-as cereals and dried leg
umes-contain large amounts of
both proteins and carbohydrates.
Moreover, it has been demonstrate
ed that the average mixed diet
has distinctly higher digestibil-
ity rating than individual classes
of foods.
Mrs. q. A.-Fried eggs are not
recommended for children under
the age of eight.
Mrs. A. Cone should never
eat when fatigued, tense or nerv-
Gus. Under such conditions, al
most any food will be difficult to
digest.

How Much Iron?

1t is believed that about 10 per
cent of the total hemoglobin in
adults is destroyed daily And for
this reason iron-rich foods must be
included in the diet every day.
Investigators have found it diff
cult to determine the exact iron
requirement, but according to the
latest estimates, from II to Is
milligrams a day will not only
provide adequately for bodily re-
quirements. but will allow a rea-

Women Need More Than Men

Women require more iron than
men, in proportion to the body
weight, to make good the losses
that occur during the menSeS. Ex-
pectant mothers need a generous
amount of iron, not only to pro-
vide for their own needs and for
the normal develOpmen of the
fetuS, but to create a reserve sup
ply in the baby's body which will
last through the period of lacta-
ton.
The percentage of iron in the
baby's body is about three times
that of the adult. Nature has
wisely designed this reserve to
make up for the low iron content
of milk which constitutes the chief
food during the first six months of
life. Nutrition authorities believe,
however, that better health re-
suits when an iron-rich food, such
as egg-yolk, is introduced very
early into the diet. This helps to
prevent the slight anemia which
was formerly regarded as unim-
portant. but which is now recog-
nized as making the baby more
susceptible to infection and re-
tarding growth.
