MANIFESTATIONS OF CALCIUM
 DEFICIENCY

A familiar bit of hokum taughN by the school physiology books in the last century is this, quoted from Fourteen Weeks in Human Phy- siology, by J. Dorman Steele, pub- lished by A. S. Barnes & Co., 1874:
 '"The composition of the bones
 at maturity is about one part
 animal to two parts mineral mat
 ter. The proportion varies with
 age. In youth it is nearly halr
 and half, while in old age the
 mineral is greatly in excess"
 To the average 1ayman this may sound right. It seems consistent with the common popular notion that the bones of the elderly ara more brittle, more liable to break, than the bones of younger persons because in the elderly too much mineral matter (calcium phos- phate) is in the bones.
 The truth is that, as Boas de- scribes 1t in his book '"The Patient Past Fifty (The Year Book Pulp fishers, Inc, Chicago, Gas result of the calcium deficiency in the American diet adults experience steady, ong-continued loss of cal- cium through the years as a result of this constant depletion the bones become poor in calcium and more fragile"
 But, after all, this osteoporsis Gas the porosity and absorption of calcium from the bones is called) is a late manifestation of aging. Some authors state that this change in the bones may be a result of long continued calcium shortage and not necessarily an accompani- ment of aging, and that 1t probably could be prevented by greater calcium storage in earlier years"
 Greater calcium storage in earl- fer years-in youth, in adulthood, in middle age. But then, in earlier years who cares about the osteopor- osis of advanced age? When were young we are concerned about hay" ing a good time-we leave 1t to the old folks to worry about calcium | storage.
 Greater calcium storage in earl- fer years means more liberal con- sumption of milk and milk prod- ucts, particularly cheese, nuts. green leafy vegetables, greens, sal- ads, and more exposure to sunshine or daylight to enable the body to manufacture adequate vitamin D to insure assimilation, utilization and retention of calcium (and phosphorus), or when or if such exposure is impossible, then daily eating of sufficient vitamin D.
 In a booklet on "T'he Calcium Shortage (mailed on request if you inclose ten cents and stamped self addressed envelope) numerous com- mon complaints due to calcium de- ficiency are described. If young folks were more familiar with these earlier manifestations of calcium deficiency they could not only avoid many of these troubles, by keeping calcium metabolism at a high level, but they could keep younger longer. But, shucks, there we go again, preaching to deaf ears. As the old proverb expressed 1t: They who would be young when they are old must be old when they are young.

This data, outlined in Unit

million square feet of glass has

the war for mirrors alone.
Pinball machines, too, have

Before the war, they exported

American window glass ex-

This amount is far from prohib-
