WANT OF IRON
IN THE BLOOD
CAUSES ANEMIA

When we speak of anemia we gen
orally refer to deficiency of the red
corpuscles (hemoglobin) of the blood.
While there are many different types
of anemia, the larger number of cases
probably fall into the class resulting
from a deficiency of iron in the diet
simple nutritional anemia-or per-
nicious anemia resulting from the
failure if the gastric juice to elabor-
ate from animal protein some sub
stance which promotes normal red
blood cell building. Nutritional anem-
ia is quite prevalent in children, es-
pecially between the ages of months
and 1-2 years. After weaving if
the diet continues low in iron, the
anemia continues to become more
acute and the resistance of the child
to infections and disease is lowered.
While the adult diet is less liable to
deficiencies in blood building mater
ials, insufficient intakes of iron are
apparently common. According to DR..
Sherman of Columbia University, a
margin of safety would require the
ingestion of Is milligrams of iron per
day. And yet studies of recommended
adult menus reveal that surprising
ly high percentage of them fall below
Sherman's daily dietary standard.
Studies of typical diets Of the rural
south reveal deficiency in iron and
suggest the prevalence of nutritional
anemia. A brilliant series of expert
ments made some years ago disclosed
that along with iron, very small a.
mount of some compound of copper
was necessary if the soluble COM
pounds of iron are to be absorbed and
used by the body. "a chemical analy-
sis of a food to determine what it
contains and how much," according to
E. j. Coulson, "is of little value in
establishing the Importance of the
food as an article of diet unless it can
be shown that these constituents are
essential to life, and are in a form
easily available to the digestive sys-
tenn"
In reporting on the results of stud
les of oysters at the laboratory of the
South Carolina Food Research Com
mission, Coulson and co-workers
reached the following conclusion
"The results show that the oyster is
equalled or excelled only by liver in
the amounts of iron and copper which
it may furnish in the diet in an aver
age serving" Basing their conclusion
on feeding experiments with labora-
tory animals, they report
"Oysters should, therefore, be eff
ficacious in the treatment or preven-
tion of these types of secondary anem
la which respond to treatment with
iron or iron plus copper. There is in
creasing support for the view that
dietary deficiencies can best be car
rected by proper selection of foods
rather than by the use of artificial
concentrates or medicinal mixtures.
In order to insure an adequate supply
of the inorganic constituents for hemo

Come and see," the producer
challenged. Even after meeting Janet
and watching her work, he felt he
ought to have the last word. He said.
My, but she's smallv'
Janet first went to the studio on
Saturday. The next Wednesday she
began as the child lead in Little Miss
Thoroughbred"
The shooting schedule was thirty
days, but after a few days thirty
three pages of dialogue were added, all
for Janet. Yet often, when one of the
grown-ups fumbled and the director
yelled cut" Janet supplied the
proper line. very sweetly. She also
set a good example by knowing all
her own. and following direction per.
fectly. The actual shooting time. of
only twenty-four days, saved the
studio $4,000 on the picture.
Janet gained an inch and two
pounds during the filming. Now, just
six years old. she is thirty-three inches
high and weighs forty-one pounds.
Bright blue eyes, which photograph

intelligence.

you don't want to get poppies?"

Stars at the studio fell in love with
Janet as fast as executives did.
Her capacity for philosophy startles
people In the early part of Little
Miss Thoroughbred" Janet played an
orphan. dressed poorly. Between
scenes she was hoydenish, a tomboy.
Then one day the script called for
her to wear smart dress and lovely
hat. In the screen story she had fallen
among people with money. Now, be-
tween scenes, she sat primly on a
chair, swinging an expensive blue
purse and humming to herself.
The assistant director cracked: 1T
looks to me like somebody's father
has spoiled her"
Janet heard, but she kept right on
humming. swinging the blue purse.
Several attempts to break her aloof-
ness failed. Then the Assistant Direc-
tor asked: Don't you like me?"
''Yes, l like you"
why don't you speak to me?'
Because of what you said"
He hedged. We'll, you seem little
high-hat to me today and thought
maybe your daddy really had spoiled
you"
