Building Blocks of The Body

By Herman N. Bundeten, M. 0. PROTEINS are the very stuff of life. These cample* unbalance* might be called the building blocks of I the body since they filter into the composition of every cell. They are material from which new ti»sue* are made and worn-out cells rebuilt Thus, It is doubly important that the mother-tobe get plenty of protein*. On this, her own wellbeing and that of her unborn child depend. Yet. a number of studle* of the diet* of pregnant women show that many do not get an adequate amount of protein. Ruth M. lx*verton and Thelma J. McMillan of Lincoln. Nebraska, carried out a study of the effectiveness ot a simple diet plan which would make sure that the pregnant woman would get all of the protein she needed, particularly If she were suffering from anemia or lack of coloring in the blood. The simple recommendation which they made was that the pregnant woman should eat plenty of meat, that is. have a generous serving of meat at least twice a day. Meat supplies plenty of protein and the proteins in meat furnish all of the essential amino acids. Proteins are made np oi these amtno ucftls and It has been found that ten of them are necessary for growth and the normal repair of tissue. Furthermore, by eating two generous servings of neat twice a day. sufficient protein is supplied without crowding out of the diet other important foods such as

quota mark. When tins! reports are made. It Is believed that the county's quota of $11,666 will have been exceeded Assisted by nearly a thousand workers, the drive was ably conducted under the leadership of C. E. Hell, chapter chairman; Clarence Ziner. county campaign <hairman; Lyman L. Hann, township director and in the city by John Halterman Thanks for doing a splendid job and keeping the victory flag flying over the ’ county. ■■ o-— o——I Politicians who "view with alarm" and claim that this country Is broke, should renew their faith by taking a look at the I’. S Treasury collections for February, the I shortest month of the yesr. Revenue collected during the 2* days amounted to 14.102,1311.414. l-evies on liquor and beer totaled $210.121.31a and on cigarettes and cigars. the government collected lßff.4ftS.ff4l. Admission taxes to i night dubs, theaters and concerts brought in another 31 millions, not to mention the millions paid in taxes on jewelry, fur*, howling al leys, slot machines and cards. RaisIng money to pay the debt seem* like it's a simple job of figuring what tax is needed and then placing the levies iti “luxuries" and ntertainment. Stratton Place:The Worthman bousing sub-div Ision on the Schmitt farm, east of Monroe street river bridge, will Ire known as Stratton Place, nameo n honor of the late Gene Stratton Porter, former resident of this City and famed Hoosier author. The driving of a stake at the ent ranee to the addition will formally dedicate the place Sunday after j oon.

Probably the m st imp riant a to ncement in connection with he development Is that priotltle have been granted for the immed late construction of twenty modern houses, thus relieving to that extent the present acute housing shortage. Planned as a restricted housing I area, which will be annexed to the city its means local growth and I more residents. John R.

eggs, vegetables, fruits, whole grain cereals and butter. Vitamins and Minerals Meat contain* other element* necessary for keeping the diet well-balanced, such as vitamin* and minerals, it ha* a good ap peal to the appetite, there Is a widespread notion that it I* not a good thing for women to eat much meat during pregnancy but the study which has been carried out proves that this is wrong. The women studied were under 33 years of age. fn addition to the regular diet and the use of meat, the majority of the women were receiving' a preparation supplying vitamins A and D and calcium phosphate. For each woman who received this type of diet, another was chosen who had u similar diet without the extra meat, but instead a capsule supplying vitamin B-complex. Still another group equal number received no supplement to the diet. More Coloring It was found that the women who received the meat had more coloring in the blood and a larger number of red blood cells ami had better success in nursing their babies than the women who received the B-compiex supplement or those who received no *npplemint at all. Furthermore, they suffered less often from edemaor swelling of the tisane*. Hence. It is concluded that recommending to pregnant women that they Increase the a.nount of protein in their diets Is helpful in keeping up the coloring and red ceils tu the b|ood, avoiding edema aud helping in brea.t feeding

PROBLEM CHILD, OR PROBLEM Lenten Meditation (Rev E. O. Kegerreis. Monroe Methodist Church» •THE ABUSE OF WEALTH” “There was a rich man. clad in purple and fine linen, who lived sumptuously every day. Outside hie door lay a poor man called Lazarus: ’’ Luke 16:19.20. (Moffatt) "THERE IS A GREAT GULF FIXED!” This reply to the rich man who found himself where wealth was judged by God's standards. Coming from the lips of Jesu*. the indication must surely be that God regards man's contrast of wealth and poverty with troubled eyes. Jesus’ reproof of unfeeling wealth and his sympathy for the uncomplaining poor in the Parable liears it out. He doe* not condemn wealth, but It* improper use. On this earth God gave a wealthy man the opportunity to cross over a gulf that was "fixe I” by a standard of living. The rich man did not see the opportunity on his doorstep. Like many today, he was so busy living up to the standard that he couldn't take time to look. He didn’t see what God sees and so missed th' opportunity of doing something about the problem at his door. He was a rich fool. In Matt. 5:22 Jesus emphasises the danger involved in using the term "fool." Yet he says God uses that term In characterizing a man who believe* his life is part of his possessions just betause he ha* ample wealth!" (Luke 12:2<*.i The rich man's failure to use a Go t given opportunity brought him to intense suffering in Hell by his own choice. He remained on his own side, "fixed " He could not warn hl* loved ones, for God was offering them the same opportunity Jesus emphasizes the fact that wealth misused will break a man He pointedly say* that God * final judgment places all men from all nations into two classes. Not black or white, yellow or brown, but "Sheep” and "Goats." They either "did” or "did not" use what God gave them for God's interests motivate! by pure unselfishness. As men do or do not respond to human need in God's way they ultimately do or do not find themselves victims of their own choice "LAY NOT UP TREASURES UPON EARTH . . SEEK YE FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD. AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS."—Matt. «: 20.33

And my home lies in the fiat par., fronting the street, and spills over into lhe vertical end on the side opposite the slairs and elevators for the kitchen, maid's room and service hall. When you enter my front door there is. first, a large square foyer and then, straight ahead, in enormous living room that boasts three tall windows separated by narrow strips of mirror, a huge fireplace, and a lot of comfortable but exciting furniture. To the left of the foyer is the dining room, and in the comer between the two main rooms, connected with each by a door is a separa’e unit complete with private hall and bath, which was formerly my domain and is now Neal's. To the right of the foyer Is another suite of two rooms and bath, again with a private hall. The larger front room was Aunt Jane’s and now is mine. The one in back Is the guest room. And that is all there is. Aunt Jane designed the apartment herself, out her imagination gave out before she'd Incorporated the rest of the T tn her blueprint.
