Calcium is a metallic element which occurs in nature generally in combination with other chemicals. Calcium is particularly abundant in the soil overlying limestone formations.

It is utilized by plants, and these plants are eaten by animals, some of which provide man with milk. In this way milk becomes a rich source of calcium; it is, indeed, the only really' good source among natural foodstuffs. IT IS COMMON knowledge that calcium is important in the normal development of teeth and bones. It is not so commonly realized that calcium is important also in the blood and in the functioning of the nerves, and through them, of the muscles. Calcium utilization in the body is governed by two pairs of tiny glands situated in or near the thyroid gland, and called parathyroids.

Calcium, like other nutri-, ents, is used in the body, and then discarded either through the bowels or the kidney. It must be replaced with a new supply. is true at all times of life. The need for calcium is continuous throughout life, but varies from time to time. BEFORE BIRTH, when the tooth buds are being formed in the gums, the need for calcium is great, especially since Jones are being formed too.

The need continues heavy dur- Hadassah To Dine Elmira Chapter of Hadassah will hold a luncheon meeting Tuesday at 1 p.m. at Pierce's Restaurant. At this closing meeting of the year, a report of the Upper New York State Regional Conference held in Albany will be given by the president, Mrs. Seymour A. Kornfeld.

ing childhood, when bones and teeth are developing. The pregnant woman and nursing mother also need extra calcium. Contrary to popular belief, even the aged and aging have a continuous calcium requirement. They tend to suffer from a bone disease known as osteoporosis, in which calcium is lost and the bones are thinned and weakened. The condition may be due to a prolonged inadequate intake of calcium.

WHILE CALCIUM is a major factor in this problem, deficiencies in protein foods also may play part, thus emphasizing again the importance of maintaining the basic food group structure of the heathful diet. Vitamin necessary for calcium metabolism, is furnished for adults by vitamin fortified milk. Fish liver oils are also a good source. Another time when calcium demands are heavy is during the growth spurt of the adolescent, when bones, muscles and glands are undergoing active changes. In populations where calcium intake is inadequate, there may be a slowing of growth and a limitation of average stature.

IN PRACTICAL terms, the calcium needs of the body are best met through whole milk and non-fat milk products. Two cups of whole fresh milk supply about three fourths of the body's daily needs in adult life. Adolescents, pregnant women and nursing mothers need more. in Doctor in the Kitchen by W. W.

Bauer, M.D. Consultant, National Dairy Council by Cheddar and Swiss cheese are good sources of calcium; cottage cheese, though lower in calcium, contributes an important amount. A serving of ice cream in addition to two cups of milk will bring the calcium intake up to the average adult recommendation. Next to milk products, vegetables are the best sources of calcium. The best of these are kale, broccoli, collards, dandelion and mustard greens.

Male Observations: Makeup and Knees By TOM BYRNE What are English girls like? They're sugar and spice with mascaraed eyelashes and short skirts. That was my observation in London a fortnight ago, during a two-day visit. The eye makeup and hair parted in the middle seemed to be, standard equipment.

Not eye shadow, mind you, but blackened eyelashes eyebrows. Not much lipstick. The girls looked downright pretty to this aging visitor. Dresses generally were above the knee- cap. I noticed, on a cold day, that some of the chicks had shortened their dresses but still wore knee length raincoats.

Most of their boyfriends wore Beatlemanes. They looked rather seedy. It was ever a surprise to hear the well-modulated Oxford-type voices of the unkempt lads. Fortunately, in our group of touring newspaper people was an able and talented women's editor who is more hip to the fashion world than I. She prefers to remain nameless to Elmira readers, but this is what she had to say about London styles: London's 'In' Look Is for Young LONDON Phyllis Leach is 17 years old, a blue eyed blonde in the classic English tradition.

She works in a London shop devoted to "Mod" clothing for girls. Phyllis was interrupted as she straightened an evening jacket made horizontal stipes of black and white rabbit's fur. "What's she was asked. Phyllis held up a garment that looked like a tennis skirt. Only briefer.

"The proper length for she said. "Looks great on you, but do older women wear skirts that leangth in London?" "Yes, indeed," Phyllis answered without a trace of guile. "Why, at some of the clubs, I've seen women as old as 19 wearing skirts this short." There you have it. "in" look, the "Mod" look, the London look women is for the young, just as it is in New York. BUT IN LONDON, the skirts are likely to be SO short they are breath-taking.

With their short skirts, London girls favor long hair, white textured stockings, lowheeled Mary Jane shoes or boots. Boots and gaiters are big in London, even in fair weather. The English, it seems, are eternally prepared for rain. Hartnell, London courturier who is dressmaker to Queen Elizabeth II and other members of the Royal Family, thinks skirts three or four inches above the knee are "idiotic. The hemline should flirt with the knee," is the way he puts it.

He says dresses cut along the popular "shift" and skimmer lines are "cheats. It takes no skill at all to fit a dress without sleeves OF' waistline." Mr. Hartnell, was as good as The hemlines he showed did indeed just touch the knees and all the dresses had sleeves and waistlines. In fact many of them had matching coats as well. SOME RANDOM observations about clothes in Britain: British women are more sensible about seasons then are American women who rush into straw hats in January.

It was cool in London, ever cooler in Edinburgh, the fairytale city that is the capital of Scotland. At tea in the leading hotels, women were wearing fur hats, even though the calendar said April.
