ASSOCIATION AND LIFE INSURANCE COMPANIES IN CANADA What To Eat To Be Healthy Number Five , 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 we must watch are: CALCIUM, the lack of which causes defective bones and teeth. IRON, the lack of which causes an- aemia. IODINE, the lack of which causes a nitre, • I ! There is a constant storage and use of calcium in the bones, and a person may appear in the hest 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 woman is likely to suffer from tooth decay because there is a tremendous drain on her calcium resources. If she does not have an adequate amount 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, adultsshould con- sume each day, close to a pint of milk, while the growing child who is form- ing new bones should take a pint and a half of milk. Cheese is an excellent source of calcium, too. Iron is obtained largely from veg- etables 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 upoh iodized salt as their source of this mineral food. The following foods give you min- erals— Milk and cheese, eggs, liver and kidney, leafy vegetables such as cel- ty, lettuce and cabbage, also fruits and iodized salt. Remember — mills and cheese for calcium; eggs, liver .kidney, vege- tables and fruits for iron; and iodized salt for iodine. Mother's Day Even if the wholesome idea which Miss Anna Jarvis, of Philadelphia, gave to the world in 1910, when she began the movement to devote a day of reverence to Mothers and Mother- hood, ha$ -been largely, commercializ- ed, it is n.eve.theless type that Moth- ers' Day has inspired' thoughts that otherwise might not have been in- yoked, Yet, indeed, commercialize- tion in itself has not . been, without. good. • All through time, good people' have held sacred the name of "inoth- er" and have enshrined her in thein hearts. 'Motherhood is the highest estate of woman. And while good people in all ages have reverenced her as such its whatever station of life her lot niay have been cast, ami while, no doubt, all generations have felt that they have supported and assisted her in more ways than their predecessors, we like to think that. we in eur day and generation have clone dill better. Mothers' Day has rayed a part in the advance. We have tried to relieve northers and motherhood of much of the drud- gery and hardship, and industry, whose leaden after all are the sons of melte-vs, has been. a foremost wor- leer.

Is there any word in any language which brings such a flood of memories as Mother?..• From the time, we lisp the first word whieh to us means Mother, until the time we stand .beside her bedside and receive her last farewell, no one occupies 'such an important place 'in our lives as Mother. As young "people and adults do we give the proper consideration to that one who means so much to us? Do we count her a pal; and when we are making plans for stn enjoyment do. we include her? She enjoys the corn- pany of young people and would be• so Pleased to be asked to go with us sometimes. ' After all in the home and out of the home, our very best companions are our Father and Mother. There is now a recognized Mother's Day, but Mother's Day should he every day. When we were Iittle and before our age of responsibility our life would have been very helpless indeed if our Mothers considered they just had to look after us one day in the year. • When we are away from hone our Mothers watch the mail, and how dis- appointed they are when they do not hear from us! Let us consider it a. privilege, not a duty, to write regu- larly, for the time will come all too soon when our Mothers will have joined those whom we have loved and lost and who are now in the Glory Land. Sometimes we consider that our Mothers fit in very well as someone to whom we can speak in a way in ivhich we would not dare to speak to any one else. The patient soul takes it all, apparently quite calinly, but little by little her heart is being brok- en by our unkindness. It is indeed a very wonderful thing to make a close friend of our Mother, one to whom we are not afraid to tell all that we are doing. When we cone to the stage when we cease to confide in our Mother we may feel sure that we are drifting into the broad way. To many of us it is a pleasant mem- ory that we used to sit on our Mother's bed when we came in at night, tell her what we had been do- ing, and heed her timely counsel. Gan those of us whose Mother has passed into that Land of Eternal Joy honestly send the following message: MY MOTHER Dear God, will Thou a message take To one who walks Thy golden ways? She is my own, my best beloved; Without her all are etnpty'days, Whisper that my heart is with her In the Kingdom up above—. Tell her that I miss her always And I send her all my +love.

One of the "eight wonders of the world" is Trinidad's Pitch Lake, dis- covered in 1595 by Sir Walter Ral- eigh. Itssurface is like a great wrinkled tarpaulin, over 100 acres in extent. . An automobile left standing on the pitch surface sinks gradually. A pipe 160 feet long was forced in- to the lake•in an unsuccessful attempt to find bottom. It vanished over- night and re -appeared years later, 800 feet ?may, gnarled and twisted. The pitch is used extensively for high- way surfacing, roofing and cement. hag.

Wheat and Poultry More wheat is being fed: to live- stock and poultry in Canada. The preliminary estimate of the wheat fed or to be fed during the 1937-3.8 crop season, amounts to 18,938,000 bushels, as compared with 15,795,000 bushels in the 1936-37 season. Heav- ier feeding of wheat in 1938 has oc- curred in Ontario, Manitoba, Alberta, and British Columbia, with the avail- ability ofmore wheat from the 1937 crop in these provinces than was the case in. 1936. c MY MOTHER My Mother feeble, old?
