That is, all except the dozen or so which I keep on the wide window sills as they’d look too empty without them. And, I’ve been fixing up the holes made in the strawberries after a heavy cow ran across them. It seems a new fence isn’t the answer. They make just as deep holes if they walk out a gate or rolling door which has been left open! So, if one runs across could get involved. Their X-rays could be the mechanism for first spotting trouble. Since it takes about another ten years before there is permanent damage to other bones, dentists can, poten tially, do patients a great service by checking yearly for trouble, Dr. Lutwak suggests. Incidentally, according to Dr. Lutwak, other bones affected by too little calcium are skull bones, ribs, vertebrae and long bones, in that order. Phosphorus Important, Too To solve the problem of enough calcium in the diet, there are two angles. The first is, you must get enough calcium for your needs. The other is, that calcium will only be properly absorbed by your bones and tissue when a certain ratio of phosphorus also is in your diet If, for example, phos phorus intake exceeds calcium in take, calcium absorption decreas es. Dr Lutwak contends “we need at least 50% more than the 800 milligrams of calcium recom mended daily for men and women 18 to 75 years old. The U.S. diet is excessively rich in phosphorus The result is an imbalance in the calcium-phosphorus ratio.” Meat is a rich source of phos phorus. There sometimes are enormous amounts in carbonated beverages. In milk, the ratio of calcium and phosphorus is one to one ideal. ,v*> v. i Ida Risser the damp ground we’re glad it wasn’t five of them; but if five cows run across the garden then we’re glad it wasn’t all 45 of them! xxxx Are we, as women, too liberated? Most of us can come and go almost as we want after our children are school age. We get ideas and -can carry them through without consulting anyone. We see and know more of the world outside our homes than any generation before us. At a convention some time ago, a farm wife told me this was her vacation. She said that in the morning when her husband asked for hot oatmeal she informed him this was one of her “vacation days” and did not cook it. She continued, “I’m so independent that it scares me ” When a woman has a job outside the home and her own money it only adds to this feeling. xxxx Our Cindy is an outdoor girl. She likes to tend her new 4-H calf. When Philip is busy she tends their four little pigs. Why, she even weeds her own vegetable garden and flower garden without complaining. Also due to her urging we’ve had several picnics in the front yard on the redwood table Philip made. “If you’re always being called on the carpet, you’re apt to have the rug pulled out from under you.”
