Stress Good
Nutrition AS
Defense Need

Today nutrition authorities are
stressing the need for guarding the
national health in carrying on an
effective program of defense. In
calling attention to the Importance
of proper food, it is pointed out that
q survey has revealed that approx
mately 45 million of our population
are living below the safety line"
of what is considered an adequate
diet.
What factors are essential in our
foods to assure that the diet fully
meets body needs? Protein is nee
essary to build and repair body
tissue. There must be vitamins to
promote growth and protect health,
and calories to supply heat and
energy. Minerals, such as iron, cop
per, phosphorus and calcium, are
needed to build blood, bones and
teeth.
Importance of Iron
In considering the minerals
needed, medical authorities point
to the special Importance of iron
as a blood builder. 1t ranks first
among the nutritive elements in
this respect.
The iron in the body of an aver
age adult is only about the weight
of penny, but this element is vital
to health. Iron enters into the struc-
ture of every active body cell. Iron
is a constituent of the hemoglobin
or red pigment of the rs trillion
or more red blood corpuscles, and
thus helps to carry oxygen to every
part Of the body.
Foods rich in iron must be added
to the diet at six months or earlier
and continued throughout life, &C
cording to nutrition authorities.
The adult requires at least IL MILL
grams of iron daily.
Iron Prevents Anemia
The penalty for an insufficient
iron supply is a condition known
as nutritional anemia, character
lied by fatigue, digestive disorders
and other symptoms.
As early as 400 to 500 BE-, q
condition corresponding to anemia
was described by Hippocrates, the
Father of Medicine. Menghini an
italian, is given credit as the first
to discover iron in the blood - in
1747. The present view that an iron

craft guns; and this branch of the
service can use only men with good
eyesight. Conserving the vision of
making of tools, the building of arma-
ment, and the training of men to use
defense equipment Eye hazards are
always great in industrial occupations,
and the expansion and speed-up of
production resulting from the Ma
hazards. Large numbers of men
working in new jobs in strange sur
roundings, perhaps in plants operat-
ing day and night, are bound to have
accidents. The effect on the indi-
vidual worker in physical and men
tai suffering is devastating.
Accident Hazards Greater.
Accident hazards are greater when
workers are suffering from syphilis.
A little cut or bruise of the cornea
that would otherwise pass unnoticed,
may develop into a serious condi-
ton if the worker has venereal dis
ease. It has been estimated that at
least one person in 20 in this country
has syphilis. Immediate and con-
tinuous treatment is necessary if seri-
! Gus damage is to be prevented. Doc
tors estimate that $4,000 babies are
born with congential syphilis each
year, and that most of them develop
a serious eye condition early in life
unless they receive adequate medical
treatment. Ninety-five out of 100
such babies would be protected from
syphilis and blindness if their moth
ers were given treatment during preg-
nancy.
The Minnesota law passed years
ago requiring the use of antiseptic
drops in the eyes of the newborn
baby, has reduced the large per-
centage of blind children admitted to
the State School for the Blind be-
cause of ophthalmia neonatorum or
babies sore eyes,"
We now have good fireworks con-
troll bill before our Legislature. There
are no fireworks that are safe for
eyes. Good eyesight for all the peo-
pie of the United States was never
so vital as it is today when the ma
ton is eXerting every effort to be
prepared. Protection of eyesight is
now a matter, not only of good eco
Monies and humanitarianism, but pa
triotism as well.
