Effect of Iron on Anem io

By Herman N. P.cndesen, M. 0. HEMAGMHIiN is the substance which given the *>)<mh| it* colloring matter and also enables It to carry oxygen. Thus it is of enormous importance to our health and wellbeing. Iron in one of the chief constituents of ikgmoglobln and. for that person, a certain amount of Iron must be supplied by the food that we eat. A person who does not get enough iron-containing foods is pretty sure to develop anemia with a decrease In the number of red ceils and a marked drop In the amount of red coloring matter. In these cases, treatment consists of giving Iron-containing preparations until the red cells, with their hemoglobin content, are restored to normal levels. Here, several questions may arise: how much Iron should be used, what type of iron salt is heat employed and whether or not the addition of liver extract and vitamin B<ompiex will speed up the recovery* Some studies were carried out by Drs. 8. O. Schwarts and B. E. Armauong. of Chicago, on 55 women who had anemia. They found that when the Iron tireparation* were administered for pee or two mbetha. thdre was a rapid recovery period. During the meat month thr blood coloring level rose above normal, with a .retara no the nor mal level between the fourth and stgth months gV -i * dMMk > » 1 —g T a_ ADOst IB# ©• ii ODL w® IB the tom of toya aad jsunoaium eurgta » ferrous tulfatm gave » FBBfcltß BB {UMtttlßt <Ub<M<

always friendly to America. This library to now the only place in their country where It is possible . .for them to breathe the air of freet dem. I ° o— Needless to say, this nation will honor itself in granting permission I for the entry of some two hundred thousand aliens from other countries in the course of the next two years. It is recognized that this is what might be called a , token evidence of good will, rather than a promise of -opening the floodgates again as was done on . so vast a scale in bygone years. That deluge presumably will not descend again But the effect of shut is now done may serve to relieve much of the seeming harshness of the recent past. o—o The bomb • destroyed British House of Commons is about to be rebuilt in its original oblong shape, instead of having a circular form, as at first proposed Winston Churchill, in an address favoring its restoration in the form of the original building declared that “we shape our buildings and afterward our buildings shape us." He said that a circular chamber favored a vague drawing of lines between parties, whereas the oblong. sharply divided between opposing factions, made each change of policy or belief by an individual a very noticeable step. Maybe that's the reason why congress goes round and round in its circular chamber. o o In Russia, where the communistic theory seems to be that "everybody has everything, because no one has anything" a Russian must Work longer hours, compared to Americans, to purchase the necessities of life. The difference between prices and working hours required to earn enough money to live, is contained in a table published by U. 8. Labor Bureau In Russia, it takes one hour, ten minutes of ighor to get a pound loaf of bread, compared to seven and one-half minutes in this country. For a (tound of beef, a Rus-(,-ian must work five hours, fifteen minutes. In the United Blates, a worker can take home a pound of steak for .14 minutes of work. ' Cigarettes require two hours four minutes of labor, while an Ameri <an worker can get a pack for five minutes of work. And so It goes. ! up to men's shoes, which in the • Hoviet Union costs 104 hours of , labor, compared with seven hours, fifteen minutes of work in the United States. If Russia permitted broadcast of the American story, many of their workers would tire of the communistic deal.

double this amount There did not appear to be any difference in the response obtained, no matter what type of iron salt was employed. Furthermore, the addition of the B-complex vitamin and liver extract did not seem to Increase the actiod of the iron. However, it was definitely determined that, in treating anemia, at least three months of administration of the iron containing preparation was required to obtain the maximum effect. Anemia may be present without causing any particullar symptoms other than perhaps some slight pallor of the skin, and fatigue. Thus, the patient's symptoms cannot be used as a guide as to how much improvement Is occurring Examination of the blood by the physician is neces sary to tell bow the patient is pro grassing. Os course, there are many other causes of anemia besides lack of Iron in the diet. In these cases, it Is necessary to eliminate the cause before treatment with Iron preparations can be successful QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS I A Reader: Will you please tell i me something about breath holdi Ing attacks.

CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN “1 HEAR young Ralph Estabrook ia out of the service now. He’ll be up here thia year with Hit friends. That ought to be something,” Eph commented. George shrugged. ‘They spend an awful lot of money in my place,” he volunteered, "but I earn every penny of it being civil to them." Andrew shuddered with an exaggerated movement of his shoulders. “Nice neighbors I've got,” he murmured. “It's a wonder you didn't warn me, one of you. Os course, I didn't expect Eph to do it—-he had a business interest in selling me.” *'And the rest of us wanted you to settle here, and were afraid you might be scared off," Cecile said warmly. Because he knew she meant it, Andrew was pleased. Momenta like these more than made up for the strangeness of his new life, and the sometimes frightening uncertainties ahead. By the time they had had dessert, Helen Priest declared they were all in the right condition to sing. "Heavens, no! We're stuffed!” they chorused, but she wouldn't listen. "I've been dying to try that piano ever since 1 saw It.” she said, "and you're not going to head me off that way. Besides, the tuner was over at our house the other day, and he had Just come from here. He caked it a whooperoo, or something like that” She sat down on the bench and struck a few tentative chords, then launched into a popular song. Under cover of the young voices which soon Joined hers, Andrew and Bigelow began to clear away the dishes. By the time they were stacked in the kitchen, the music had changed to some of the old favorites, and the older guests had begun to gather around the piano and add their voices to the group. Gloria and Ellery came out of the kitchen and mingled with the crowd, and Andrew was free to stack dishes and sort silverware. Bigelow fussed at him. "Please, Mr. Paul, you go back to the living room. I'll take care of every- , thing out here.” And when An* drew showed no sign of going, be added, "You'll only be in the way out here.” 1 Andrew quirked a humorous I eyebrow at him. "Is that so 7 Well, i you’ll simply have to put up with me, because this is my chance to learn bow to dear up after a . party. I don't expect to have you with me always, Biggy.” A plaintive sound interrupted 1 him, and he went to the door. Joe * sidled inside with an inquisitive upward glance, and a tentative i “Meow.” Andrew chuckled. "Had enough of that flr tree 7" he asked. "Wait around, and I'll have some supper for you, too." He dished ' out some of the casserole, carefully taking out the miieb rooms, * and Joe, after sniffing all around the edges at the Osh in a distrustf ful fashion, suddenly began to eat i it with relish. , Andrew forgot all about the cat when be started back to the kv*g ' room to rejoin hie guests.

"And if there's anything you want to borrow, just say the word.” "You're a rash young man,” Woodford chuckled. "Especially with such valuable volumes.” "Well,” Andrew admitted, "I wouldn't say that to everybody. But I can see you really love them, and that makes all the difference in the world. Are you interested in architectural books, sir? I've got some beauties 1 could show you." “Some other time, some other time. 1 don't want to get you bogged down in here with an old man, while everybody else is expecting you to play host out there." 'Then if you'll excuse me NJ run along and do my duty.” "No use letting this go to waste,” he called out, as he entered the long living room with the punch bowL A soft, furry body insinuated itself between his legs before he could take the next step, and Andrew stumbled wildly. The punch bowl flew out of his hands, he made two or three long, lunging steps, and ended up flat on his face. The silver tray crashed to the floor with a Clanging sound. Joe had fled to a far corner of the room. When the laughter died down, he crept cut again. He stnffed at the puddle of punch still left on the floor, and his tongue went out to lap it a couple of times in trial. Suddenly he leaped away, his tall went up and he raced around the room. "Look at him go!” Mrs. Potts cried. ”1 do declare, 1 believe that cat's on a tear. I hope tie don't ’ get at your embroidered curtains, Andy.'—Ow! Help!” Suddenly she was standing up* brushing wildly ' at her lap. "He jumped on me!” 1 she cried. "Don't you like cats?” Andrew > naked. "Like them!

and Andrew had high hopes that they would continue to be, for the soil was good and the climate cool enough to make them strong. He whistled a little as be worked. In a nearby bed, Joe was studying an angleworm, his ears pricked forward, his yellow eyes serioua Occasionally he would put out a tentative paw and touch the thing, then cock his head on the other side and stare at it some more. He had been playing with his shad* ow all morning, jumping tn and out of ths lilac bush, and was tired now. A little breeze ruffled Andrew's hair as he worked. He had never felt better in his life, he reflected, even though he was doing his own cooking. With a muttered "That reminds me” he suddenly dashed into the house and returned with a badly burned enamel pan which he proceeded to bury in a deep hole in the middle of the flower bed. "Can t let Mra Fotta see that,” he murmured, then, aa he realized he was talking to himself, he turned to Joe. "What would I do without you, big boy?” he asked gratefully. T can always pretend I'm talking to you." A large blue Buick went slowly past the house. Andrew was getting used to the fact that people from town usually slowed down when they went past his place "to see what that Paulson fellow has done." Everyone seemed to know,, down to the last nail. Just what alterations he had made, and commented on them, one way or another. The Buick stopped, and Andrew looked up. This was no Branfield car, he realised, and the man driving it looked unfamiliar, ton. For a brief moment, he wondered if it was one of his own bowing acquaintances of the old days, and—if it was—just how he would handle the encounter. But the man who got out and came slowly toward him was a stranger. He smiled at Andrew, and waved briefly toward the end of the house. “Mind if I look at your view a couple of minutes?" ho asked. "Not at all." Andrew went on working, putting his weight on the heavy spade, prying the sod oose, turning it over. Then he looped to toss aside the ever-present crop of stones he had brought up. "Why don't you sieve it?" the man asked suddenly, and Andrew started. He had teen so quiet since his coming, that be bad almost been forgotten. "Sieve it ?" Andrew repeated. "The ground. You’ve got enough stones here to make it worth your while. Take a short section of an old barrel or keg, and nail screening over the bottom.

the Increased enrollment, the Berne • Board of Education Is planning to erect two or three prefabricated i school buildings this summer. We. the Kirkland students who live in French Township are very much against going to Berne next year, and we are sure that other students who are going to Hartford High School but reside in French township feel the same. We art? proud of our high schools even though they may not be as modern as the one in Berne. We do not want to separated from the students that we have been going to , school with the last several years. We are used to going to a small, school where there is less conceit and there are no cliques attempting to run the school. Some of us have gone to larger schools and then changed to smaller ones. People say is doesn't make any difference if you live in town or in the country if you go to a town school, but take it from us It certainly does. A student from the country attending a town school is always the "underdog.” The grade schools of our township are supposed to benefit for further use What improvement are pre fabricated houses over the oneroom school bouse?
