Minerals
Are Vital
To Diet

There's 40 much emphasis on
proteins and vitamins in food
today that we may overlook the
equally important minerals the
body needs. Eleanors Sense. an
accredited dietition with wide ex-
perience, has written Americas
Nutrition Primer" which covers
the minerals in our diet, as well as
other essential nutrients. in a sim
pie and easy TO understand man.
ner. DR.. r. V. McCollum, Johns
Hopkins University, recommends
this small primer and so does this
column.
Here's a brief summary of the
chapter on minerals from Amer
ica's Nutrition Primer"
Eating foods rich in minerals is
the easiest way to get minerals.
Calcium is necessary for adults
and children. 1t is used for build
ing bones. teeth, fingernails and
toenails. II adults and children
do not have enough calcium daily
they are likely to be nervous.
They may have cavities in their
teeth. They may have muscular
soreness. Children may develop
ricketts, and have poor bone and
teeth structure.
Milk in its various forms, with
the exception of butter, is the
best source of calcium. Foods rich
in calcium are whole or SKINNED
milk. buttermilk. dried m X,
evaporated milk, condensed milk.
whole milk cheese. other good
food sources of calcium are broc-
coli. cabbage, chard, collards, kale.
vegetable greens, molasses, CLAIMS.
Every day everyone should eat
some of the listed foods rich in
calcium.
IRON FOR PEP
Iron is necessary for adults and
children. II they do not have
enough iron daily they are likely
to have low vitality, no pep. and a
psllid complexion They may
have a decreased number of red
blood cells and develop snemia.
Children may have retarded
growth.
Meats. egg yolks and green
leaves are the foods richest in
iron. Good sources OF iron in foods
are liver. kidney. heart, lean
meats. whole eggs and egg yolks,
poultry. especially dark meat. oys-
tiers, shrimp, vegetable greens.
kale, spinach, dried peaches and
spricots.
Phosphorus is an important
mineral for body functioning. but
most Of the foods
which contain calcium also have
satisfactory amounts Of phos-
phorus.

Entertaining
Unnecessary
Household Allowances
May Have 10 Be Watched
Bv RUTH MILLETT

Its true that Mrs. House
wife is going TO have to keep
a watchful eve on her house
hold allowance this winter,
and also that she will have TO
do some fancy skimping and
pinching to make it stretch.
But the woman who is really
hospitable won't use that as an
excuse for skimping on hospitality.
For there are plenty Of ways in
which a woman can cut down on
the cost Of entertaining with
out sacrificing her graciousness az
a hostess
She can substitute informal
buffet meals. which she can man.
age without having any help, for
the more formal dinners that took
two in the kitchen to swing.
She can get busy and perfect
several recipes for low-cost dishes.
instead of feeling that no dish Is
fit for company unless il is known
to be expensive.
She can cut out the big bridge
parties where three or four
hostesses invite so or 60 women
for luncheon and bridge, and which
show about as much individual
hospitality as benefit party.
CUT "MUSTS"
OFF YOUR LIST
She can part with the notion
that guests always have to be
planned for in advance and start
extending last minute do come
home with me for dinner" invita-
tions-which often turn out TO be
the most appreciated kind.
And one thing she can do to cut
down the cost of entertaining that
will make social life even more
satisfactory than it has been in
the past is to cut completely off
her list all the people she breads
entertaining. Her hospitality won't
suffer from that, because there is
no real hospitality involved when
a hostess groans before and after
an invitation.

that she has attached herself 10
Pete only for his publicity value.
CHAPTER "
Glasses tinkled and conversation
buzzed as Pete Laird and Sterling
Rand walked down the stairs to
Stephanie Stevens recreatio n
room. A sudden hush fell over
the guests as they descended. All
eyes rested on Rand and the trim,
athletic young man at his side.
Stephanie's intimate little party
proved TO be quite an affair. The
room was fun of people.
Verbose Larry Winship stepped
forward. &c God people" - he

guests. Whistles and cheers filled
the room. Pete felt himself red

Stephsnie stepped forward. She
wore sleek black gown that
moulded her stunning figure.
Don't let that introduction throw
you, Pete" she treasured, clasp
ing his hand. Come on, I'll in
troduce you around"
Guests stepped forward eagerly
to shake Pete's hand and utter
some choice bit of adulation.
There were familiar names and
faces in that crowd important
figures in the movie industry. II
seemed fantastic to be the center
Of attraction in such a gathering.
Yet Pete was fairly mobbed.
Someone showed n Scotch and
soda in his hand. He drank il
hurriedly in an attempt TO relieve
the tension. More drinks followed
Pete soon became srticulate and
joined the party. Guests prodded
him with questions. dangling on
every word.
The rest of the evening was a
rushing panorama that Pete re-
membered only hszily. More
drinks - too many drinks and
suddenly he realized the room
was empty and he and Stephsnie
were alone.

sat next to her on the divsn.
He rested his head on the back

Navy Will Probe
 Discrimination

Following on the heels of the Presi- dents recent order calling for the abolition of discrimination against Negroes in all Federal agencies and independent establishments, officials of the Navy Department have admitted to the National Negro Congress that a study of the discrimination prac- ticed by the Navy against Negroes is being conducted in the light of Presi- dent Roosevelt's order.
 The Navy Department, through its public relations official, Commander Berry, issued the following statement on the matter:
 "The subject is being reviewed carefully by the Navy Department. No public announcement has been made of this study to date. A thorough review of this problem is being made from within the Navy Department in ac- cordance with the recent pronounce ments of the President of the United States"

I Remember
 By Richard E. Croskey
 Local 4O4 Cooks & Walters Union
"BIC BILL" HAYWOOD
 GID

I liked Big Bill'' Haywood very much. One time recall he was in conference with some employers when the usual statement was made that they could not afford to grant the increase in wages wanted as they had to make dividends for their stockholders, etc., and Bill re- piled, elf you would squeeze the water out of your stock you would be making plenty of dividends on the real money invested.''
 As is known, Haywood was placed on trial for the killing of the governor of Idaho. am sure he had nothing to do with it. The jury which was out for ten minutes, acquitted him and Mover and Pettibone almost without leaving their seats. Bill did not re-take his office as secretary of the WIZ. of M. I do not know why. He drifted to Chicago as the head of the I. w. w. (Industrial Workers of the World) of which he was one of the founders. From there he went to Russia as the head of the Metal Mining Department of the Soviet Republic and died there
 As I gathered from his talks, his theory was that if you ground the people down hard enough they would rebel and the revolution would take place On the contrary I think that when that time comes there will be no kick left in the people. My theory has always been that Education is the keynote to the upbuilding of the human race. When the people realize that their advancement is entirely in their own hands and take the trouble to read, learn and vote for what they want we may reach the Utopia of our dreams, and, that does not require any revolution or blood-shed or confsca- tion of property.
 Bill may have been right and my self wrong or vice-versa, and then again we may both be wrong.
