Other figures released have re-
vcaled that since the year 1900,
the population Of the United
States has doubled. But the NUM-
Der Of people who now reach the
age Of IS is four times as large
as it was then.
AS late as 1914, infant MORTAL
ity was 1913 for every thousand
live births. By 1854 it dropped
to 26.6, a reduction of more than
33 percent. During the same pc
riod, maternal mortality dropped
from 22.8 for every 10000 live
births to 5.3, a reduction of al
most II percent.
In the so-called deficiency dis
eases, due to improper and poor
nutrition, similar reductions are
noted. In 1910, 2,123 deaths were
caused by pellagra, a disease due
to deficiency of an important B
Vitamin, niacin, in the daily diet.
For the year 1853, the last year
for which these figure are avail
able, only l35 deaths due to pei
lagfa occurred in the United
States.
Three reasons account for this
better health Of America, its

Of serious concern to medical and

One of the important factors
bringing about this better stare
of nutrition has been the enrca-
mont of white bread with three
L vitaminS - thiamine, riboHG-

Bread is one Of the few foods
eaten by everyone, daily, and
practically at every meal. Since

NATIONAL 4-H CLUB WEEK

National 4-H Club Week is being
celebrated from March ) through
March IL. Of the millions of rural
boys and girls in the United States,
a little more than 100000 belong
to an organization known as the
4-H Club. The four HIS" signify
the four-fold development Of the
Heart, Head, Hands, and Health.
Each local club composed of from
five to fifty (or more) members,
has its own officers consisting OF
president, vice president, secre-
tary-treasurer, and reporter. The
club is also under the supervision
of local leader. Meetings are held
monthly. In addition to discussing
the project in agriculture or home
economics in which that particular
club is engaged, provision is made
for recreation and a social time at
each 4-H Club meeting. Thus the
All Club group frequently be-
comes the center of social affairs
in rural communities.
All Club members learn to eval
uate themselves and to find their
proper place in life. They discover
the mysteries of nature-the mir
acles performed by growing plants
and animals. They learn to observe
beauties around them which pre-
viously their eye could not see.
In short, 4-H club work is teaching
rural youth how to live and to get
the most enjoyment from life.

our instructor, surely has patience
with us and sometimes I can't see
how he holds out. You can't i'm

MARCH

on the ancient Roman calendar,
March was the first month. julius
Caesar made it the third month
when he changed the calendar. But
for hundreds of years afterward,
some countries in Europe continu-
ed to count March as the first
month of the legal year. For ex-
ample, England did not make the
change from March to January un-
til around the middle of the 1700's.
March has always had thirty-one
days.
March has no national holidays.
The State of Texas celebrates the
second day of March as the ami
