Better dth
by Dr. Logan Clendening

WHOEVER else suffers denial
w during food rationing. We
mustn't let the babies or the
children have any part Of II.
And this is not a hard pre-
scription 10 fulfill; baby foods
are not rationed 10 any extent.
The baby has his own ration
book, and according 10 my ad-
wees ne has ~ points. which
means as small cans Of proc
eSsed food. or a large cans
This would include pureed
vegetables, fruits, meat and
vegetable combinations for the
babys or young chlld's diet.
Grocers viii undoubtedly have
better balanced stocks during
ne period of ratioHing than they
did before.
On THE other hand. bsby's
" diet cannot be changed or
rearranged. as the adults must,
10 meet changed circumstances.
A baby IS a very high powered
engine.
II needs a lot of fuel-far
more than an adult
a norma infant Will not thrive
unless ne receives approximately
30 calories per pound Of body
weight per day
This would mean in the case
Of an adult weighing 80
pounds 800 CalorieS a day and
the calculated average for
person OF m o d rate work IS
about $500 CalOrics.
So The first requirement of
any babys diet is the amount of
food II gets, which should be
per pound three times as much
as an adult.
I'VE protein requirement Of
babies Is also higher than an
adult children have a require
ment OF ? = 10 3 grams per kllo
Of body weight
This would mean that a child
who weighs 30 pounds would re-
quire As grams Of protein a day,
or 40 pound.
The protein requirement is
basic.
The energy requirement Of
the baby Will be made up largely
from the carbohydrates. eSpc-
clally sugars. such as milk
sugar, ordinary sugar, cane
sugar and malt sugar.
The reason that many special
baby foods keep the baby happy
and in good weight is that they

CPEAKING OF Mr.. Roosevelt, II
~ could be that he designed

CPEAKING OF Mr.. Roosevelt, II
~ could be that he designed
the new penny.
l remember that Mr.. Roose-
Welt once got an idea TO limit
incomes to SIS, 900 net per year
and l said at the time in defense
Of him when lot of people were
beefng. that he probably named
that amount because he did not
know what SIS, 900 is. never hav-
ing had to deal with paltry
sums. so Ii is conceivable that
in designing the new penny. he
had to deal with the matter on
terms of unfamiliarity with his
subject.
Or it might have been Mr..
Morgenthau, as nice man as
ever stepped in shoe leather.
/ do not believe the story that
on encountering Lincoln penny
in the treasury cash box one day,
Mr.. Morgenthau sent it to a
numismatist, thinking il a rare
coin, because everybody knows
that there is never anything in
the treasury petty cash box
these days of less denomination
than a banknote for a jillion-
Zillion.
HOWEVER, there is one point
III in the evidence that Sug-
gests Mr.. Morgenthau as the
designer.
He is not a man who would
be aware Of the appeal to the
larcenous in humanity in giving
il a penny that looks like a
dime.
He would not foresee the num-
Der of walters who would be
swindled by the resemblance.
Mr.. Morgenthau is an honest
man and the new penny was
designed out of honesty, but it
is not going to help the church
boxes when they count up here
after.

OTHER basic requirements for
" baby food are the minerals
and vitamins.
In general these are usually
well taken care of in any baby's
formula.
For children and even for
babies il is we'll TO remember
that pigmented or colored foods
are those which contain vita
min and mineral salts.
This was the basis for the
spinach craze few years ago.
The dark green of spinach in
dicates iron: so does the yellow
of egg yolk.
Thus carrot juice or pureed
carrots are also an indica ton of
yltamlns- and mineral salts.
Improvement in infant feed
ing has come from augmentlng
cows milk and even mothers
milk with some substance which
represents mineral and vitamin
elements such as cod-liver oil
and pigmented vegetable broths.
DAW COWS milk fails Of being
IL an ideal food for infants in
two particulars: it is relatively
indigeStible unless a buffer SUBJ
stance IS added, and it contains
no ron
Many infants fail 10 thrive on
COWS milk on account of this
insufficient iron content.
Unless the milk IS irradiated

also should have vitamln d in
the form Of cod-llver oil.

ally contain enough sugar.

The new penny is the same in

copper and the new penny is of

smaller the general resemblance
is quite pronounced and a fellow

Rooney Effervesces Pleasantly

A large segment of the movie
going public is disposed to mouth
dark imprecations whenever the
name Of Mickey Rooney is men
toned. An equally large-if not
swampingly lager-group possesses
a congenital urge to leap at the
throats of Rooney aspersion casters.
And so it goes, all the while Mr..
Rooney bumptiously goes ahead
reaping vast sums from the studio
to which he Is afnliated.
It so happens that the opposition
party would receive a mild surprise
should it venture to attend the
Palace Theater this week, where the
latest opus Of the, butt of their dis
paragement is playing: Girl
Crazy" is its name, and whether or
not the appearance of Judy Garland
In 1t has anything to do with soften
ing the Rooney impact, the Aim
proves not only unantagonizing, but
downright pleasant entertainment.
Through combination of locale
and continuity, Girl Crazy" is q
minor treat as wholesome as buck
wheat cakes.

harmless courtship provide the over
all theme. Music is by the Gersh-
wins, George and Ira Cthrough the
