MINERALS ARE NECESSARY AS BODY BUILDERS Purdue Expert Says Minerals Indispensable To Human Needs By ANETA BEADLE Extension Nutritionist, Purdue V. Minerals, as the word is commonly understood, do not seem much like food, hut they are indispensable building materials for the human body. We can get the mineral elements by choosing the foods that provide them In the form of ‘mineral salts', or other digestible compounds. Plants use mineral substances which they take direct from the soil. We eat plants; we also eat animals that have eaten . plants, and in the plant tissue and in the animal tissues that furnish meats, poultry and fish, or in anii mal products in the form of milk and eggs, we get those same minerals lu forms which we can assimilate. Nearly all foods contain at least a trace of each Important mineral; some are rich hi one or more minerals. The body requires more of I some materials than of others. It ! requires a lot of calcium, which is ' not abundant in many foods, and I ; a lot of phosphororus which is I plentiful In many foods. It requir- ‘ es only a little iron, but that little is hard to acquire, because even the foods called ‘iron-rich' contain very little. If we make sure of the calcium and iron, the phosphorus will take i care of itself, because ifcomes in i so many foods, including those rich in calcium or iron. I Calcium needs special attention. The bones and teeth, where cal- 1 cium is so largely needed, consti- ' , tutc a big trait of the body bulk.:

land calcium Is unevenly distributed In the common foods. Children particularly need plenty of calcium. A shortage of cal'du m phosphorus in chilSren's food means stunted growth. As both these minerals are plentifully supplied by milk more easily and economically than by any oth jer food, plenty of milk is recont- ! mended In the children's diet. A | quart a day is best. Adults need calcium to keep bones and teeth in repair Vitamin D is necessary, too. for bone building. Milk is at the top of the list of ■ foods rich in calcium, then comes greens, beet tops, cabbage, cauliflower. chard, dandelions, kale, mustard, and turnip tops. Some of the syrups are also good for their j calcium. These are sorghum, sugar cane syrup, and molasses. Iron is not so easily supplied. The best sources of iron among foods from animal sources are egg i yolk; meats, particularly liver, kid-1 ney, brain, and heart, also lean I muscle of beef. veai. pork, lamb,l and dark meat of poultry; oysters! and shrimps. In the vegetable kingdom the best foods for iron are green beans, dried irults. whole grain flours or cereals, molasses, sorghum, dried beamt, and nuts. It takes several iron-rich foods to furnish a day s supply for there must be plenty of Iron in the diet to make good red blood. Phosphorus is found in so many foods that we are almost sure to get enough. When it comes to planning of I meals, foods rich in bone and blood building minerals are of course among the essentials, along with carbonhydrate foods and fats for energy, and protein-rich foods for muscle building. Family Known for Longevity Fort Dodge. la. —(UP)—Longevity Is a trait of the Brechwald family. J. A. Brechwald, a Fort Dodge jtfjber, has a grandfather 96. His father is 70.

MUST REALIZE MIXTURE VALUE Value Os Alfalfa In Mixtures Is Told By Ohio University Expert Agronomists as well as farmers have failed to realize tlfe full value of alfalfa In* mixtures, and mixtures in alfalfa, declared Prof. C J. Willard of Ohio State University in a featured address before the Annual Agricultural Conference at Purdue University. He advised that for the regular rotation seeding, wherever red clover grows well, it is desirable to use two to five pounds of inoculated alfalfa seed In the mixture tn addition to the usual red clovdr, alslke. and timothy. He recommend ed as an excellent mixture for general use five pounds each of alfalfa. red clover, and timothy, and two pounds of alsike. “A stand of forage of some sort, is more certain from this mixture ; than from the more common mix tures." said Prof. Willard, "because alfalfa will make a stand in dry seasons when the clovers kill I out. If. some year, a new seeding! is Hot obtained, the old meadow! can be left for another year, and; will be alfalfa timothy instead of pure timothy, as is the case when I a clover-timothy mixture is cut a second year. “On the other hand." fie said, "an alfalfa-grass mixture 7*s superior to alfalfa alone for many uses The hay at the first cutting is usually not so weedy as pure alfalfa, especially in the central and southern part of the state. The grasses protect the alfalfa from winterkilling by heaving, to a notable extent. so that alfalfa mixtures can be maintained on soils which are not sufficiently well drained to grow alfalfa alone. Such mixtures always outyield the grass grown alone, and often outyield alfalfa’

nlonc. The alfalfa fertilizes the ! grass with nitrogen and as a result the grass grown with alfalfa i has a protein content one-third to i one half greater than the Same i grass grown alone. In the first cutting, alfalfa-grass mixtures cure more rapidly than alfalfa alone ’ For pasture, such mixtures stand tramping better than pure alfalfa,! and are less likely to cause bloat.”! " PLEASANT MILLS NEWS — Harold and Gene Hike made a quick trip to Danville Illinois Sun-' day afternoon to see their father! who suffered severe 'turns. Mr. Hike ie a boiler maker.
