 Three Pounds of Calcium
 Can you tell me approximately how much calcium Qime) there is in the human body? (MM9
 Answer-Calcium constitutes 2 per cent of the weight of the nor nal body, so there is about three pounds of 1t in the body of an adult weighing 150 pounds.

That seemed logical too, for any plumber or householder knows that grease will stop up the drain pipe. So the patient began taking a nos trum (probably the same one that prompted the, dentists quack sug- gestion). It worked just wonder fully. The man hasn't had piles for whole month now and he believes he is cured.
 The fear or belief that the doc tor may find an operation neceS- Sary or advisable is an idiotic req son far avoiding medical care. If the man refers to the piles, 1t is not likely the doctor would advise oper- ation. Injection treatment, prac- tically painless, is the method al- most universally employed today. This neither hurts nor detairs the patient from business more than ordinary dental treatment does.
 The dentists guess that the pa tient seemed to have an acid condi- ton was sheer quackWork, of course.
 There is no ground for the mo- ton that accumulation of any kind of acid has anything to do with any of the complaints mentioned by this man. In fact acidity or acidoSis is practically never cause of any ill- ness or ailment, but rather Symp- tom or an effect of one ailment or another.
 In some serious illnesses, under medical care, it may be necessary at times to regulate the diet so as to increase the alkalinity of blood and tissues or decrease the acidity of the urine. But that is techni- cal question which the intelligent layman will not attempt to deal with.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-12-12
ACID CONDITION

Man aged A says he has suffered from piles for many years. He all so mentions that he is troubled iith gas, attacks of diarrhea, distenSion, colitiS, autointoxication, biliousness etc, etc. but he has not consulted a doctor because he anticipated the doctors verdict-operation. He did. however, deem it wise to consult 3 dentist for a condition he thought might be Trench mouth and decay of teeth near the gum margins.
 The dentist treated the condition and finally informed the patient that the progress of the dental trouble was arrested and it remain ed for the patient to get to the Dot tom of his faulty, nutrition Gad avoid recurrence. So far fine. But then the dentist relapsed into quackery. "You seem to have an acid condition-why don't you al- kalize?"
 That was right up the patients alley. The idea seemed so logical to him. It reminded him of some- thing he had read in magazine, that butter was hard to digest.

 You can tell at a glance how chic any woman is simply by look ing at her shoes, hat, bag and gloves.
 The smart woman's hat, how ever plain and simple, has a fresh look about it. The ribbon band is crisp, the felt absolutely free from dust. It's obvious that she always brushes it, inside and out, before she puts 1t on.
 SHE'S ALWAYS
 NEATLY SHOD
 Her leather shoes are shining Her suede ones never look dull from dust. It's apparent that she has leather lifts replaced often and that she puts trees in her shoes the minute she takes them of.
 Her bag never is an stuffed shapeless affair. She takes every thing out of it once a week and puts back only what is necessary She frequently rubs a polishing cream on her calfskin bags and uses rubber sponge or special
