Shortage of crlcium, the mineral most important to sound bones and teeth has long posed a problem in prenatal care. A frequent symptom of calcium deficiency is leg cramps. These ait experienced by more than 50 per cent of expectant mothers. If the deficiency becomes severe enough, the baby’s bone formation might even be anected. It may also cre ate health hazards for the mother. However, calcium deficiencies can exist silently in the mother’s sys | tem, without the appearance of leg cramps. Medical science has always been •cutely aware of the increased cal cium needs of expectant mothers •nd the growing child in her womb. ; To fill the additional requirements, doctors have prescribed calcium— •nd protein rich diets, vitamins, , as well as a long-used prenatal 1 dietary supplement called dical cium phosphate. } Recent medical studies have •hewn that calcium deficiency is •ctr lly only one aspect of the problem. The other is an over •uppiy of phosphorous which acts •s an antagonist to absorption of the calcium that can enter the blood stream of the mother and .unborn child. 1 In fact, clinicians have reported th. . the phosphates normally pres ent in a rich protein diet, and in the dicalcium phosphate supple ment, actually lower the calcium content in the blood of the preg nant female and her unborn child to the point of a rathei severe Insufficiency. 1 An adequate quantity of calcium is necessary to life not only be cause the mineral supplies about 80 pei cent of the substances nec sary foi healthy bone forma tion, but is also essential to normal heart action Calcium also plays •n important role in the body’s blood-clotting mechanism. 1 Furthermore, the mineral helps the nervous system to function properly, and makes it possible for the body to obtain energy from the food it consumes. Although the ordinary North American diet is ample to fulfill these functions—its average cal cium content is 0.85 gm. per day— it does not provide enough of the substance to fill the needs of mother and child. According to medical authorities this need rises to 1.5 gm. in pregnancy, and continues during the period of lactation. The answer to prenatal calcium deficiency now seems to have been found. Doctors who have tested a new calcium supplement, called Calcisalin, which is free of phos phates, report the new remedy notably raises calcium levels in the blood and reduces the incidence of leg cramps. Calcisalin is rein forced with vitamins and minerals 1 known to be required in prenatal supplementation. Aluminum hy droxide gel is also added because it reduces the amount of phos phorous compounds absorbed jnto the mother’s system.

Then, suggests the Royal Typewriter Company, you can type up neat labels listing the contents of each storage box—“Yellow Blankets,” “Children’s Snow Suits,” etc. Pasted on the outside of the storage container, your typed label can be read at a glance, and will save the trouble of opening every sin gle box when hunting for one particular garment next fall. Your typewriter’s handy for other household tasks too, including club reports, shopping lists, writing out recipes and family corre spondence. (ANS) Give Thanks for Frozen Vegetables 5*sw: Pa • !W-;:»»»■■»[»■ •" v.yW7.Mim.»ta mmamnMMu.v. ... WHEN IT COMES TIME TO PREPARE HOLIDAY MEALS, all of us are grateful for time-savers. The bountiful Thanksgiving dinner used to take hours . . . even days ... to prepare. But nowadays, thanks to quick-frozen foods, the vegetables, at least, can be prepared quickly. Perhaps you’ll serve asparagus spears, arranged in bundles and garnished with a strip of pimento, or green peas cooked with mint, and this creamy corn pudding, easily made with Birds Eye golden sweet corn. CREAMY CORN PUDDING 1 tablespoon butter VA cups milk (part cream, it desired) 1 tablespoon flour 1 teaspoon grated onion VA teaspoons salt 2 eggs, slightly beaten yA teaspoon sugar 1 box (10 ounces) quick-frozen Va teaspoon pepper golden sweet corn, thawed * 1 tablespoon chopped pimento Melt butter. Add flour, salt, sugar and pepper, mixing well to blend. Add milk gradually, stirring until smooth. Cook and stir over medium heat until thickened. Remove from heat, add onion, eggs, and corn, and mix well. Then carefully stir in the pimento. Spoon into 1-quart baking dish. Place in pan of hot Water and bake, uncovered, in moderate oven (350° F.) 1 homy or until firm. Makes 4 servings. (ANS) Brighten Up Your Diet Chief complaint of many dieters is not the quantity of food allowed, but the monotony of most diets. It’s that longing for something really different in flavor ... a zesty sauce or an intriguing dessert. Now, it’s easy to turn out low-calorie dishes that rate high in flavoi and appetite appeal. Help comes from the new non-caloric sweetener, Sucaryl, which can be used to replace sugar in practically all your cooking and baking. This is the sweetener that has a natural sugar like sweetness, and never leaves a bitter aftertaste. Any dieter can enjoy the glamorous Coffee Spanish Cream, pictured here. Sucaryl does the sweetening job, and, as a result, each serving contains just 45 calories. Ordinarily, when sweetened with sugar, the same dessert would contain 110 calories almost times as many! Coffee Spanish Cream 2 eggs 3 teaspoons instant coffee Vi cup water 4 teaspoons Sucaryl solution 1 cup skim milk or 32 tablets 1 tablespoon gelatin Vi teaspoon salt teaspoon vanilla Separate eggs, putting whites into small mixer bowl. Set aside. Mix egg yolks and remaining ingredients in top of double boiler; beat enough to blend. Cook over boiling water 6 minutes until mixture barely coats spoon, stirring constantly; remove from heat. Beat egg whites until stiff; slowly add hot custard while beating on low speed. Pour into a 3-cup mold or into 6 j^-cup molds. Chill until set, at least 2 hours. Makes 6 servings. Each serving contains 45 CALORIES, 4.9 grams protein, 1.8 grams fat, 2.1 grams carbohydrate. If made with sugar, each serving would contain 110 CALORIES. 'Easter Fun And Feasting DECORATING EASTER *E«GTREES/ V.I’ ' ''V'T^'flRST HOLLOWED PIERCING TH ENDS, THEN OWING OUT RAW YTENTS.
