Calcium Plays
Important Role
In Normal Diet
By DR. JAMES W. BARTON
^pHE one outstanding criti-
A cism by food experts of the
ordinary diet found in the ma
jority of homes is that it does
not contain
enough minerals,
particularly cal
cium or lime.
Perhaps you
have thought of
lime only as being one of the
necessary elements to form the
bones and the teeth, and of
some use in tooth powders, and
to overcome an acid condition
of the blood and tissues.
One of its most important
uses recently discovered is that cal
cium is a real heart stimulant or
tonic.
Dr. P. Martin, Basel, in the Swiss
Medical Journal, reports his studies
on the influence of calcium during
the training of athletes. “The young
athletes were mostly city dwellers
who lived in modest circumstances
and whose food was frequently de
ficient in calcium. Moreover, work-
ing in offices during
the day, they had lit
tle opportunity to
benefit from fresh
air and sunshine.
Dr. Martin made
a test on young run
ners who ran 400
meters or about a
quarter mile. Os a
group of 27 athletes,
15 underweight
training without use
of calcium; the oth-
Dr. Barton
er 12 were given
large doses of calcium during the
five months of training (December
to April).
Need of Calcium Proved.
The reports of the results of the
tests at the onset and the end of the
training showed that the heart rate
of the athletes was not only less in
those using calcium but came back
to normal (after running the 400
meters) in much less time than the
athletes who had not used the cal
cium.
It is not suggested that the aver
age individual should use calcium
in its usual drug form.
The suggestion is that most nor
mal individuals would do well to
simply use more of the foods that
are rich in calcium such as dairy
products—cheese and milk; egg
yolks; green vegetables—lettuce,
cabbage, turnip tops, spinach; caul
iflower, carrots, string beans, tur
nips, parsnips; fresh fruits—straw
berries, raspberries, rhubarb,
oranges.

Habits Cause
Os Constipation
“The hustle and bustle of the
average person’s daily life in this
machine age, the lack of time to
Create a habit, improper foods or
freak diets, pandering to the almost
universal desire for slenderness, in
sufficient fluid intake and other fac
tors contribute to the prevalence of
constipation.”
I am quoting Dr. Clayton C.
Perry, Cleveland, Ohio, in an article
. on constipation in Medical World.
I believe Dr. Perry’s statement
that “the lack of time to create a
habit” is one of the great truths as
to the cause of constipation. With
a great many individuals there is
the hurried breakfast and no time
for, or thought of, the intestinal
habit. And so common is constipa
tion that he states further:
“It is so rare in my experience to
find a patient who is not constipated
that I have come to look with awe
and wonder at those who tell me
that their bowels move naturally
and regularly.
200 Histories Reviewed.
“A review of 200 consecutive case
histories of patients examined in my
office (except cancer patients) re
vealed that 129 complained of con
stipation and used cathartics.
Among the 71 nonconstipated pa
tients, however, there were several
with diarrhea and colitis. If these
cases are excluded the number with
normal bowel habits is small.”
One of the conclusions come to by
Dr. Perry is that a large breakfast
is one of the most important factors
in correcting constipation. With
this conclusion most physicians will
agree because a hurried, light
breakfast does not give the impulse
to the digestive tract to move and
drive wastes downward. The very
weight or heaviness of a meal will,
in itself, give considerably stronger
impulses to the whole digestive
tract—stomach, small intestine, and
large intestine.
It is difficult for the average in
dividual to sit down and eat a good
breakfast in a leisurely manner, and
to take time to sit and read the
paper for a few minutes after break
fast seems impossible. Yet, if this
same individual were to retire a
half-hour earlier and get up a half
hour earlier he could easily eat a
larger, unhurried breakfast, read
his paper and reach office or factory
in plenty of time.

My Favorite Recipes
Lucky, indeed, is the homemaker
who has among her treasured reci
pes Aunt Martha’s “receipt” for soft
molasses cookies, Mother’s rule for
old-fashioned apple pan dowdy, or
grandmother’s instructions for mak
ing home-baked beans. Those old,
favorite recipes are the mainstay

proven recipe and the accurate
measurements it calls for.
Accuracy in cooking means level
teaspoons and tablespoons and cups
in the amounts the recipe specifies;
it means sifting flour once before
measuring; combining ingredients
by the method given, and cooking or

IMPROVED
UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL
SUNDAY I
chool Lesson
By HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST. D. D.
Dean of The Moody Bible Institute
of Chicago.
(Released by Western Newspaper Union.)
Lesson for October 1
Lesson subjects and Scripture texts se
lected and copyrighted by International
Council of Religious Education; used by
permission.
THE INFANCY OF JESUS
LESSON TEXT—Matthew 2:13-23.
GOLDEN TEXT—And they shall call his
name Emmanuel, which being interpreted
is, God with us.—Matthew 1:23.
Looking forward to an experience
in life which promises to be both in
teresting and profitable always
brings a glow of expectation. Some
thing of that spirit should pervade
the Bible schools of our land as
they begin a six-months study in the
Gospel of Matthew.
Consideration of our Lord’s life
properly starts with the story of His
birth, but we reserve that for our
Christmas lesson. Today we stress
the manner in which the Child Je
sus was received into the world.
Men then as now, were either for
Him or against Him. God had only
one attitude, that of loving protec
tion and preparation of His Son for
His ministry.
I. Christ in the World of Men.
The world of today is far differ
ent from that of the first century,
but the difference is all on the out
side. Almost breath taking have
been the developments of modern
civilization, but these have not
changed the heart of man. He still
fears and hates and fights and sins.
His attitude toward Christ is un
changed. There are still only two
classes of people in the world—those
who have received Christ and are
saved, and those who have rejected
Him and are lost.
1. Against Christ.
How do men show their rejection
of God’s Son? Just as they did at
His birth, by: a. Fear. Herod was
afraid lest the coming of this one
should result in the loss of his ill
gotten gains. His anger and fear
made all Jerusalem afraid, b. In
difference. When the Wise Men
asked where Christ was to be bom,
the priests and scribes knew exactly
where to find the facts in the Holy
Scriptures, but having done so, they
relapsed into utter indifference.
They had no interest in the fulfill
ment of the prophecy, c. Hatred.
Herod poured out the violence of his
heart by killing the first-born. He
was the first of many who have raged
against the Christ in futile anger,
d. Sorrow. The tears of the mothers
of Jerusalem but foreshadowed ths
weeping and wailing which charac
terizes Christ-rejection both in time
and eternity.
2. For Christ.
Thanks be to God, there were
those in that day who were for Christ
and, like those who follow Him to
day, they showed: a. Spirituality.
Men have marveled that the Magi
knew of the birth of Christ. They
must have studied the prophecies of
the Word and been responsive to the
teaching and moving of the Holy
Spirit. Can we say as much for
ourselves? b. Interest. Not content
to know and to marvel, they shamed
the priests of Israel by their per
sistent interest in this great thing
which had come to pass. c. Love.
They brought themselves in worship
and they brought rich gifts from
their treasures. You can give with
out loving, but you cannot love with
out giving, d. Action. They came.
They persisted until they found the
Christ. Then they listened to God
and protected His Son by not re
turning to Herod.
11. Christ in God’s World.
Men had brought sin and ruin into
the world. They had rejected His
Son, but God still ruled and we see
Him protecting, preparing, and ful
filling prophecy through His Son.
1. Protecting. Men may hate and
seek to destroy God’s Son. Satan
may inspire them with ingenuity and
cunning, but see how the Eternal
One speaks to Joseph in dreams,
how He prepares a place of refuge
in Egypt and ultimately in Naza
reth, where the boy Jesus may in
crease in wisdom and stature and
favor with God and man.
2. Preparing. God knows of the
days of public ministry which are
ahead and above aU, of that day
when on Golgotha’s hill Christ was,
in His own body, to prepare salva
tion for you and for me. God is not
taken by surprise. He moves for
ward to the completion of His plan
with the stately tread of eternity.
3. Fulfilling. God also sees to it
that prophecy is fulfilled. We read
in verses 15 and 23, “that it might
be fulfilled” and in verse 17, “then
was fulfilled." God’s Word is always
sure, for He makes it so. His in
finite and eternal faithfulness guar
antees the fulfillment of every proph
ecy, yes, and of every promise of
His Holy Word.
Progress of Mankind
In my youth, looking at this man
and that, I marvelled that humanity
had made so little progress. Now,
looking at man in the multitude, I
marvel that they have advanced so
far.—George Gissing.
No Love Without Service
It is as impossible for love to
thrive without service as for a
plant to grow without soil. Love
feeds on what we give, not on what
we get.

Ever hear of a peaceful war?
There’s one in West Virginia now.
For “War” is the name of a com

Until quite recently War also had
