For the roof, we may use shingles, tiles, slates or tin. For the walie, we may use • wood or brick, stone or concrete, For the floors, we may use wood or cement.. For the frame, we may use wood or steel. And so on, But we cannot build bodies. in that way. The human body requires, six- teen elements—oxygen, carbon, li.ydro- gen, nitrogen, calcium (lime) phos- phorus and ten. others, •the first six constituting more than 93 per cent. of the body, the other ten less than two per cent.,,,some of -them showing, the barest trace. However minute the quantity` of an element that helps to constitute the body, itis needed, and its absence will be followed by serious disorders. Iodine, for instance, .is! . required hi such minute quantity that for, a long time Its presence was, not recognized in the body. But the body needs a continuous supply of minute quanti- ties of this element, and if it is com- pletely absent from tine food and drink, as in the ease. of many inland districts, the thyroid gland does not. work pro- • •l andoltre velo a , there is ex d s If s pro- perly,�g' •e 1 a lack of iron in the food, the biped is impoverished (anemic). If lime and eshosphorous are not properly assimi- lated; the bones are not properly fern' ed, and rickets is the result. Not only must the food contain all the ele- ments the lenients,the body needs, but it must con- tain these elet snts in certain -cont- binations. There roust, for instance, be starches (or sugars) fats, proteins, water and certain mineral compounds, beside minute quantitiesof iireteetive substances called vitamins found in milk, whole grains, fruits and green vegetables. Stich facts as these seem to make the problem of getting a fully balanced and adequate. diet. a 'formidable one, involving a lcn.owledg•e of so muck chemistry that no onebuten accomp- lisher) chemist could know what and how to eat.'
