RIGHT FOOD FOR
GOOD HEALTH
Your Health and Vitality De-
pends on Proper Food
and Right Amount
BY CHARLOTTE SPENCER

When a carpenter wants to build
a good, strong house he knows that
he must start with good materials.
A farmers who wants to grow a
good crop of corn knows that he
must start by providing good soil
to nourish the seed. No chicken
raiser ignores the Importance of
the kind of feed he uses. Do we
take as practical viewpoint when
we start to produce a human
child?
The bones, teeth, blood and mus
Gle tissue baby has at birth can
be no better than the material
which built them. Every pregnant
woman should take especial care
that her diet furnishes the right
kind of materials for her baby.
The Importance of milk and milk
products can not be over-empha-
sized. The pregnant woman needs
one quart of milk a day to furnish
calcium and phosphorus to build
the bones of her child and to pro-
tect her own. Green vegetables
are considered a good source of
calcium and yet, it would take
forty helpings of green vegetables
to furnish calcium equivalent to
that contained in one quart of
milk.
Cheese contains much of the cal
cium of the milk from which it
was made. One-half pound of
American cheese is the equivalent
in calcium to one quart of milk.
| A pregnant woman needs plenty
of iron in her diet to provide. red
blood for her child and to keep
herself from becoming anemic.
Eggs, dark cereals, and leafy
green vegetables are good sources
of iron.
Green vegetables, eggs, milk,
and fruit also furnish the vitamins
which are essential to everyone's
health, and doubly essential to the
health of a mother and her baby
At no time in child's life is it
more important that the right
kind of material be furnished him
than when his mother is still car
rying him. His mothers diet at
this time is the best foundation he
can have for straight bones, a well
formed chest, good teeth, ana gen
eral good health.

TOBACCO ROADS BUILD
BILLION-DOLLAR INDUSTRY

The long-run king of Broadway
is a play called Tobacco Road"
Several weeks ago it broke the
record set by "Abie's Irish Rose"
for the greatest number of consec-
utive performances in New York
City. The same play has evoked
more controversy than any other
contemporary American drama,
but its Importance to the Ameri-
can theatre is dwarfed by the i'm
portance of the road from which
it takes its name to present-day
American life.
Over tobacco roads each year
roll billion and a half pounds of
tobacco-product of more than one
and one-half million acres of Unit
ed States land. Manufacture of
this tobacco into cigars, cigarettes,
chewing and smoking tobacco and
snuff provides employment for
nearly 100000 men and women.
The total annual payroll of these
workers exceeds S7O,0OO,O0O In
addition to these wage earners, s.
693 salaried officers and employees
of tobacco manufacturing compan-
les earn nearly S3,0O0,0OO year.
The federal government, too, has
a stake in this industry. Tax col
lections from manufacturers of to-
bacco and its by-products total ap-
proximately half a billion dollars.
The magniture of this industry
cannot be measured by merely
counting the 5,0O0,OO0,0OO cigars,
10000, 100000 cigarettes and 34O,-
100000 pounds of smoking and
chewing tobacco that are annually
placed on the market. The billion
dollars and more paid for these
products by you and me is "only
the beginning" of the expenditures
inspired by tobacco. The industry,
for example. provides American
advertising agencies with many of
their largest accounts. An import
ant part of newspaper advertising
income is derived from these ac-
counts. Radio also receives its
share of revenue from this source
Burns and Allen, Ben Bernie, Ed
die Duchin, Tommy Dorsey, Your
Hit Parade, Kay Kyser's Musical
Kollege, Pick and Pat, Johnnie
Presents, Paul Whiteman, Vox
Pop and Sophie Tucker are all
sponsored by tobacco companies.
The romance of the tobacco in
dustry is emphasized by trip
over the old Tobacco Trail" now
officially designated as U. S. Route
301. This road, which traces the
original trails beaten through the
wilderness by hogsheads of tobac-
co rolling to market behind teams
of mules, today carries the south
bound traveller through the heart
of the bridght-leaf tobacco region
of Virginia and the Carolinas. A
motor trip over this road OF
through any of the great tobacco
producing areas of Kentucky and
Tennessee impresses you with the
important part good roads play in
facilitating the movement of the
tobacco to the auctions and mar
kets.
An up-to-date system of farm
to-market roads is vital to the con-
tinued growth of the tobacco in

BUILD A HOME
FOR TELESCOPE
Almost Inaccessible Peak Is
Site of House for the
200-Inch Lens
AWAIT IT'S TRYOUT

SAN DIEGO, CALIF.-Man's eter-
nal quest to fathom the mystery Of
his being will be further enhanced
next May when the 200-inch "eye"
of the Mount Palomar observatory
will enable him to probe the heav-
ems for some $500, 900. 600. 900. 900, 900
miles, Capt. Clyde Mcdowell. SUI
pervising engineer, said.
Because its 5,550-foot summit is
enveloped by unsullied air, lonely
Palomar mountain. SO miles north
east of San Diego, has been selected
as the site for the $1,000, 900 tele-
scope.
Since early 1886 American indus
try has been at work fabricating the
scores of essential parts for the OBJ
servatory. In dozens Of factories
throughout the country the various
parts have been painstakingly
completed.
Piecemeal. the parts are being re-
ceived on the isolated spur of the
mountain, where they will be as
sembled, jigsaw fashion, to give the
world the greatest astronomical tool
mans ingenuity could conceive.
Peak Almost Inaccessible.
Transportation now takes up
where industry left off. for with all
the parts completed, they must be
moved to the summit, where FIVE
years ago only the hardest Of noun
tain climbers ventured.
Only access to the 720-acre OBJ
servatory site is by road of which a
new six-mile unit was constructed
recently at a cost of S300,000
Every ounce of material used in
constructing the 500-ton telescope
and the buildings which will house
it must be trucked over steep, wind
ing grades from the port of San
Diego or the closest railroad, 54
miles distant.
The 80 tons Of rotating machinery
which will cradle the 200-inch mir
ror have made the trek up the noun
tain, but yet to be carried up the
slopes of Palomar is the 300-ton
horseshoe bearing which will sup
port the telescope structure.
Mirror to Be Ready Soon.
The 200-inch aluminium coated
mirror, now undergoing the last
stages of polishing at the California
Institute of Technology's laboratory
in Pasadena, soon will be ready for
shipment up the mountain, McDow-
ell said.
Three lotion trucks, harnessed to
26-wheel trailer, are used to lug
the precious cargoes up the grade.
The average travelling time required
to make the trip from San Diego to
Palomar is about SO hours for the
80 miles.
So perfectly balanced will be the
500-ton structure that it will be
capable of being moved by an elec-
trio motor developing only 165-thou-
sandths Of one horsepower, McDow-
ell said.
Installation of the rotating ma
chinery which will synchrcnize the
movements of the big glass with
the heavens upon which it will be
focused is expected to take about
six months, the supervising engi-
neer estimated.
The observatory and housing ac-
commodations for the glass are
nearing completion and the entire
unit will probably be turned over to
scientists from the California Insti-
tute of Technology before June /,
1910.

der whether or not the addition OF

A Boston doctor writes: 81 also

A Baltimore doctor says: II have

sibly for some subtle psychological

it was found that five per cent be-
tween 20 and 80 years had low stom-
ach acid, while IS per cent over 90
had it.
Other Conditions
Vague stomach distress, head
aches, joint pains (arthritis), IA
tigue and general unftness for work
are likely to accompany the condi-
ton. AS to fitness, when a group OF
people in vague failing health were
examined, 80 to so per cent, cor
responding to the degree Of unfit
ness, were found to have lowered
stomach secretion.
In treatment an easily-digested
diet should be planned.
The substitution Of hydrochloric
acid in the form of regular ingre-
dent at meal time should theoreti-
cally help, but is of little practical
value.
A remedy not sufficiently known
but highly praised by DR.. Bethea,
of New Orleans, is lemon juice. A
glass-one to two ounces-of lemon
or grapefruit juice unsweetened is
slipped during the latter half Of each
meal.
What the lemon juice does is spec
ulative. A Psychologist says:
"At the present time the only sug-
gestion I can make is that lemon
juice III some way, reflexly or
through the intervention of the hor-
none gastrin, stimulates the patti
etal cells to secrete larger amount
of gastric juice so that the acidity
Of the gastric contents becomes
greater"
