CANDY CALLED
FATIGUE CURE
Parents Advbsed to Spare Rod,
Give Children More Sugar
Snare the rod and pour on the
candy was the word from three
authorities who spoke before the
National Confectioners° Associa-
tiin meeting in New Mork ort the
means• of rectifying fatigue, irri-
tability and low spirits in adults
as' well as children.
Prof, R, Haggard of Yale l;uf-
versity said the child who was ir-
ritable, restless or cross after
school should get a piece of candy
rather than a scolding becal:so
irritability is freguently a sign of
low sugar content in the food.
Steps Up Efficiency
In this statement he was jnhten
by Dr, llalvit Stevens, head foot-
ball coach of New York lantvcr-
sity, and Dr. Walter Eddy, profes-
sor of physiological chemistry at
Columbia University, Their con-
sensus' was that candy is also "a
prune dietary requirement,' for
tired mothers, workers who be.
come fatigued in the afternoon
and others va^who fall below their
maximum efllciencY,
WHAT TO EAT TO 8E HEALTHY
MineraIs
No less than twelve minerals are
required for en adequate diet, but
from a practical standpoint we
need only to be concerned with a
supply of three or them, because
if our diet is at all a. reasonable
one, it will contain adequate am-
ounts 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
anemia,
goitre,
iodine, the lack of which causes
There le a constant storage and
use of oalcium in the bones, and a
person may appear in tho beat of
health, yet his bones may not
contain as' much calcium as they
should, to time, this deflcteuee
will interfere with the health. For
exenaele, a pregnant woman la
likely to ,suffer from tooth decay
because there is a tremeudcus
drain on her ,calcium resources.
If site does not have an adesuate
amount in her diet, nature takes
it out of her bones and teeth,
Our greatest Emarcea of calcium
are milk and milk pt'oducts. To
got an adevuite supply, adults
should consume each day, clone to
a pint of milk, while the growhtg
child w'lio is farmli ng new bones
should take a pint and a half of
milk. Cheese is an excellent souree
of calcium, too,
Iron is obtained largely from
vegetables and frni•ts', Other soar--
ea are eggs; liver and itidueY,
Iodine is obtained largely In sea
foods, People who live remote
from the sea have to depend large-
ly upon iodized salt as their saurce
of this Mineral food.

IMMUNITY
The word 'immunity" bas cone
into common use, and it is desirable
that its meaning should be clearly
understood. When a person suffers
from a communicable disease, his
body develops certaiq, substances
which are called auni.bod.ies, and
these are the fighting forces of
the body against that particular dis-
ease, The disease germs and the
Poisons wbloh they produce are
the distresing forces; the antidote.'
are the defending agents,.
After recovery from most of the
communicable diseases; the individ-
ual continues to have present in his
body these defending agents. It fa
„for thist reason that second attack;
of such disease are not common.
As long as defens4ve forces, erose
enough to pervent the genets' or a
disease from gaining a foothold, are
present, we say that the Individual
in immune to that particular dis-
ease. Immunity, therefore, Meana
protection, 'When a person is' im-
munized against adisease, h; is
given immunity through some of
the known means,
Immunity varies, in different r'ac-
es'. The coloured race seems to be
naturally more. or Less immune to
certain camarrunicable diseases as
comippared with the white race, lni.
inanity, as we see it among our
oun people, is' usually aetltrired
through an attack of the disease,
If It were not that these attacks of
disease kill large numbers and dam-
age many who recover from the
attack, there would not be anylhine
about which to worry, The deaths
and the damage, however, consti-
tute a menace which is indeed
sesious.
The ideal would be to have every
ono become immune without incur-
ring the dangers of the actual dis-
ease, This is really the hope 01
