l V That Body Of Your: By June: W. Barton. ID. ; ' VITAMINS FOR THE ILDEILY

We do not hear or read as much

about vitamins lodey as we did up lo A year ago. It would seem thet both pstlents and. physicinns are not as interested is they were. This is unfortunate because vita- mins and also minerals-fron. phosphorus, calcium - are needed daily to maintain health and fit- ness.- Now that we have more old peo- ple in our midst than any other one group. physicians. and especially geriatrlclans whose specialty is the treatment of elderly people. are finding that not enough of certain vitamins are being eaten to main- tain health.

In The Journal of the American Medical Association in the Ques- tion and Answer department. it. is slated: ”Medical science is becom- ing more and more concerned with diseases and disorders in relation to the age groups. industrial groups and population groups affected. rather than with specific diseases. More recently the science of ger- ontology (the treatment of the el- derly) has come to the fore as one of the most important new fields of investigation from is medical. sociological and econclmic point of view," l.'ni'ortunat.ely many of us feel that as people become older they must expect changes in their phy- sical. mental and emotional make- up and must simply learn to live with these changes and disorders. As a matter or fact, experimental studies by niitrilion experts seem to point to the fact that an ade- quate intake cf vitamins is nec- essary to health at all ages and ' will delay Ihcse changes and dis-pg

Your impulses are naturally generous. but us families spread from one generation to the other. the hur- den can he terrific. Of course everyone, especially children, likes to be remembered on the important occasions of life. but an appropriate greeting card can carry your thoughtfulness no well as ll gift. Our greeting card companies do such a wonderful

The heads of several of these associations have offered a variety of suggestions about the cost of living, and now they are coping with it personally.

"we all know that we have to stretch meet by using it with I cheap filling such as bread crumbs," says Miss Anna Templeton of St. John's. Nfld.. organization secre- tary of the Jubilee Guilds of New- foundlnnd and Labrador.

Mrs. Hugh Summers of Fonthill. 0nt.. has found is home freeler one of the most economical way: to preserve food. Mrs. Summers is president of the 55-year-old Fed- erated women'e Institutes of can- add.

A volume of tips-including sev- eral famlly recipes-has been of- fered by. the leaders of organiza- tions which include the Dominion Women's Association Council of the United Church of Canada. the Hadassah Organization of Canada. Les Cercles Des Fermierea of Que- bec. the Canadian Association of Consumers and the Natnionnl council of Women. '

The National Council of Women five months ago launched a "Can- ada-wlde thrift” campaign to get women to save intelligently. Toge- ther wlth other ornnlzetlons and particularly with the C.A.C.. the council has distributed innumerable household tips and recipes aimed at economy.

-Needs First.-

The council slogan of the drive

is "buy only what you need. not what you want." It has introduced recipes such as the following for quick beef stew: One pound hamburger. or left over meet put through the grinder: two tablespoons fat; two table- spoons flour; one cup tomato juice: one cup diced cooked vegetables: one cup vegetable water; salt and pepper to taste.

Brown the hamburger or left- over meat in hot fat. Add flour and brown slightly. Add cup of tom- ate juice. vegetables. seasoning and vegetable water. cook. stirring con- stantly, for 10 minutes.
