These articles along with Inany others will go in the bate which is being sent MINERALS No less than twelve minerals are required for an adequate diet, but from a practical standpoint we need only be concerned with a supply of three of them, because if our diet is at all a reasonable one, it will con­ tain adequate amounts of the other nine. The three minerals that we must watch are: Calcium, the lack of which causes defective bones and teeth. Iron, the lack of which causes an­ aemia. Iiodine, the lack of which causes goitre. There is a constant storage and use of calcium in the bones, and a person may appear in the best of health, yet his bones may not contain as much calcium as they should. In time, this deficiency will interfere with the health. For example, a pregnant wo­ man is likely to suffer from tooth de­ cay because there is a tremendous drain on her calcium resources. If she does not have an adequate am­ ount in her diet, nature takes it out of her bones and teeth. Our greatest sources of calcium are milk and milk products. To get an adequate supply, adults should consume each day, close to a pint of milk, while the growing child who is- forming new bones should take a pint anti a half of milk. Cheese is an ex* cellent source of calcium, too. Iron is obtained largely from vege­ tables and fruits. Other sources are eggs, liver and kidney. Iodine is obtained largely in sea foods. People who live remote from the sea have to depend largely upon iodized salt as their source of this mineral food. The following foods give you min­ erals — Milk and cheese, eggs, liver and. kidney, leafy vegetable such as cel­ ery, lettuce and cabbage, also fruits and iodized salt. Remember — milk and cheese for- calcium; eggs, liver, kidney, vegetab­ les and fruits for iron; and iodized salt for iodine.
