Calcium-Cap+ain of Minerals

Calcium deserves it's ranking
position as the captain Of the min
erals, because it builds the bones,
or body framework. And the bony
skeleton is to the human being
what steel is to building.
About SO per cent of the calcium
in the body is found in the teeth
and bones. If the body does not
receive an adequate supply of this
mineral in prenatal life and dur
ing the growing years, the bones
will be porous, distorted and cas-
lily broken, and the teeth will de-
velop cavities and eventually may
fall out.
In addition to being the princi-
pal material for making and
maintaining the bones and teeth,
calcium increases the strength
and pulsations of the heart and
helps the blood coagulate in case
of injury.

indispensable .Phosphoru

Like calcium, phosphorus is re-
quired by the body in relatively
large amounts, and like calcium,
it is especially important in The
diet of children, because it is de-
posted in the bones, along with
calcium, as calcium phosphate.
Phosphorus is indispensable for
all the active tissues in the body
and plays an important part in
regulating the neutrality of the
blood. It can be obtained from
whole grain cereals, eggs, dried
beans, cheese, lean meats, and
root and leafy vegetables.

New York.-Why ancient
China built her Great Wall
that twisting dragon of a
wall, 1900 miles across the
north-is problem for geog-
raphers.
They see more in China's stony
guardian than military defense.
AS q wartime barrier the wall was
Ineffective, though thousands of Chi
nese were worked to death to build
it, One jester summed up the re.
suit: The Chinese never got over it;
but the Tartars did.
Some Chinese have accounted for
their Great Wall as powerful stone
dragon built to keep evil spirits out.
But geographers, probing into an
cient China's political and social
problems, are beginning to look
upon the Great Wall as geograph-
ic affair.
In a report to the Geographical
Review, Owen baltimore, geogra-
pher, points out that the Chinese
were great wall builders long be.

feudal days, when China was still

Vague Northern Boundary.
So, when Emperor Huang III
formed the states into an empire,
the idea of rigid boundaries was
familiar, and all China was driven
to concentrate on marking the EN-.
pire's northern line,
This was done, it,appears, to keep
undesirables out and to keep de-
sirables in. The wall marked plain,
ly the northern limit beyond which
the empire did not wish to spread.

But the Great Wall, Mr.. Latti.
more explains, was never more than
vague boundary. There was pres,
sure and pull in wide border re-
gion. Barbarians would become
partly Chinese, and frontier Chinese
would drift into nti-Chinese traits.
The balance of power in many of
China's struggles has rested with
betwixts and betweens, in zones
spreading out from the Great Wall

White Bluffs spokesman. [volume] (White Bluffs, Wash.) 1907-1938, 1938-04-01
Where to Obtain Calcium

The foremost sources of calcium
are milk and cheese, which is
milk in concentrated form. It is
chiefly to provide adequate cal
cium that homemakers must fol-
low the rule of a quart of milk
daily for every child, and pint
for each adult.
Vegetables, such as spinach, let
tuce, celery, asparagus, string
beans, cabbage, carrots and cauli-
flower are also a good supple
mentary source of calcium. And
some fruits, such as oranges, figs,
strawberries and bananas like
