Phosphorus is indispensable for all the active tissues in the body and plays an important part in regulating the neutrality of the blood. It can be obtained from whole grain cereals, eggs, dried to replace the minerals that are beans, cheese, lean meats, and root and leafy vegetables, constantly being used up. dr dr Iron King Pin of Them All But measured in terms of food essentials, iron is king pin of them elL It the supreme element in nutrition because it is necessary for the formation of the hemoglobin or red pigment in the blood.

In inland regions, where soil and water are poor in iodine, health authorities frequently add it to the drinking water. And the use of iodized salt is also recommended. By these simple measures, thousands of growing children can be saved from the disastrous results of iodine deficiency. In general, it can be said that if the minerals calcium, phosphorus, iron and iodine are supplied in adequate amounts, the other minerals will be automatically furnished. But every homemaker should make it her solemn responsibility to provide these four in abundance. For only in that way can you insure optimal growth in children, develop vigorous health in adults, and maintain the highest possible tone of every organ in the body. C WNU C. Moulton Coudlia 1938.
