Homemaking Tips Home Demonstration Agent by Anna K. Williams Bones In the Old Age Thousands of older people and animals are losing their bones every day they live. The bones slow’y dissolve and become so | weakened and brittle ,*.hat they break easily and then may never heal properly, if at all. Because people cannot see their bones dis solving and weakening, they do little or nothing to prevent it until it is too late. Studies by New York state nutritionists over th<? past 20 years, as well as recent studies of older women at the lowa experiment station, show the importance of adequate calcium in the diet during the later as well as earlier years of life. Milk is the most important food; for calcium; older people who for one reason or another do not drink milk can get more of the calcium they need by consuming more of other dairy products and by eating bread made with dry milk. Studies with white rats showed that old rats lost calcium regularly unless their diet contained about 3/10 percent of this mineral. If an animal excretes more calcium than it takes in. bones are being lost, because 99 percent of the calcium of the hotly is in its bones. Dogs, when their ration contained only a small quantity of calcium, lost calcium daily. When the diet contained enough calcium to compare with a pint of milk ner day in a human diet, the dogs lost only a fourth as much calcium. For Easter Bloom Now is the deadline for starting bulbt for Easter bloom. Unless bulbs have been potted or started in water by February 15 at the latest, they may not have time tp reach bloom by the spring holiday. Some of the easiest bulbs to grow indoors are paper-wjiit narcissus, Chinese sacred lilies, hycinths and daffodils. All except daffodils maiy be grown in water instead of .potting in soil, if preferred. After potting bulbs, keep them in a cool place at about 40 degrees F. for two to four weeks or until the roots develop. The soil must be kept moist during this period as well as during later growth. After the roots are well started, bring the pots to a sunny place —about 50 F. When the new leaf shoots appear above the soil, move the bulbs to where the temperature is about 60F. and there is plenty of suit This is the best temperature to keep bulbs in healthy growth. In a warmer place the leaves grow tall and weak so that they need support. Bulbs grown in water are placed in shallow dishes and supported by small pebbles or sand. Water should come up to the center of the bulb. Not lee Tn Von-Reoblrnts THE STATE OF IVDIAM ADAMS COIMTY ss. Ereeet Hnnnl VS. Allen W. Hamilton In the Adnm* Circuit Court, Vuentlon Term. 1144!)

GOVERNMENT (Cont. From Page One) shredded wheat from $5.58 to $5.10 per case of 36 packages. Retailers cut the price per package from 17 to 16 cents. They also cut the price of Quaker oats from 16 cents to 15 in line with a 25cent price cut per 24 packages at the wholesale level. But the government was trying desperately to keep grain prices up because it stands to lose millions of dollars on its loan program if they drop. The department of agriculture hag more than $1,500,000,000 tied up in price support programs. Wheat already is about 37 cents a bushel below the support price promised by the government. corn is about 34 cents below the government level. Chicago and Kansas City offices of the government’s commodity credit corporation both offered today to buy grain. The CCC had been more or less inactive until secretary of agriculture Charles Brannan yesterday announced that the govertiment would move in and try to halt the break.
