EAIL111 TOPICS 411.- NUTRITIONAL NEEDS A summary of nutritional re- quirements at different ages, re- t+ently issued by officials of the health League of Canada, reveals ,come interesting facts. During the first twelve months of life, says the statement, the calories required by the average child increase from 500 to 1000 as day, and during this time the protein needs of the child may be calculated at from one -and -a - half to two ounces of milk per pound of body weight. REQUIREMENTS INCREASE From one to three years, the caloric needs increase to 1,250 a day for girls and 1,400 a day for boys. Thereafter, until the end of the 18th year, there is a gradually increasing demand. At the end of the 18th year, girls need 2,500 and boys 3,600 cal - vies a day. Fourteen per cent of the total calories should be de- rived from proteins, and one third of the proteins should be from animal sources. An understanding of the basic needs for a standard dietary is of the highest importance at this time, it was pointed out, and full information on the subject is ob- tainable from pamphlets and liter- ature which may be obtained on request from the Health League. • ..2-.0-11.

Says Columbus Ace Navigator Harvard Professor Tells of Retracing Christopher's Oc- ean Route After retracing the routes fol- lowed by Christopher Columbus and- studying his sea journals, Harvard's Professor Samuel Mor- ison announced last month his be- lief that the discoverer was a "master navigator and a shrewd and accurate observer with a keen sense of beauty." FOUND HIS FIRST HARBOR Back from a month of sailing the Caribbean in a ketch, Morison said he had definitely found Col- umbus' first New World harbor, on the island of San Salvador, as well as his second landing place, in Northern Cuba. The purpose of the Harvard expedition, which last year car- ried Professor Morison some 10,- 000 0,000 miles to 10 countries, was to make a definite estimate of Col- umbus as a seaman and a dis- coverer and to identify definite- ly the places he visited. The sea exploration of the expedition now is ended. 1140USANDs Or SHARP -EDGED ANGLES PROTEoi- AGAINSTSRIDDING WHY pay more? Money Cannot buy a safer tire. Why accept less?

Oill Cans Found Danger To Food lh has been brought to the atten- tion of the Domdnion Department of Agriculture that many people are making use of oil cans for the canning of foods. The use of oil cans for food is considered to be a very dangerous practice since they are made of Terne plate, a plating which is a1 - most wholly lead, and very small amounts of lead are poisonous. SPECIAL CANS FOR FOOD Cans made expressly for foods axe entirely different and can be hopght at a nominal price from the hardware stores and mail order houses. Years of research have also gone into the manufacture of cans for canning food, with the result that the inside plating is lead free. This is done to make it impossible for foods to become contaminated vrith lead, and no cans should be used for fruits, vegetables, meats or trek ,other than those made as food Cane. Oil cans are not food cans and should not be used for any food pro- duct. SCOII iii Ml rl The Dominion Day celebration of Keewatin, Ont., was handled throughout by the local Boy Scouts.
