Vacations and Health

By Dr. ERNEST H. LINES

Bmtnciy A«^hor><7 otm! Chief Medical Director FOOD, MILK AND WATER

your vacation, make it a point to have three good meals a day. The proper food in proper amounts is essential to building up the reserve of mental and physical energy for the next year’s work. But do not overeat, particularly during hot weather. Many attacks of

so-called ‘\cute indigestion” are due to heart weakness brought on by overeating and drinking, or undue

exertion.

Most people confine themselves too much to the staple articles of diet, such as meat, bread, potatoes and sugar in various combinations. In hot weather it is particularly advisable to avoid eating too much meat. Cereals, fruit, vegetables, eggs, milk, salads, fish and a moderate amount of meat should be the chief articles of diet; Although green vegetables and fresh fruits should be eaten in abundance, care should be taken to maintain a balanced diet. Vegetables and cereals should be thoroughly cooked. If you carry cooked food on a camping trip or picnic, it should be kept in glass jars. By all means avoid keeping food in an open metal container, or a can that has been opened. Any food, particularly meats, fish and poultry, that you may suspect from taste or, smell to be contaminated should not

be eaten;

Beverages Drink pure milk and pure water. Avoid drinking too many iced soft drinks, as well as alcoholic beverages, which are common causes of gastrointestinal upsets. Milk in country places is not always pasteurized. It is a wise precaution to inspect the dairy or storage place al the milk you have to drink.

Scrupulous cleanliness and a cool place for storage are necessary to keep milk pure. Don’t carry a supply of milk too long in a thermos bottle, for if it gets warm, bacteria multiply too freely. Make a special effort always to obtain the purest milk you can find, even if it costs a few cents more per bottle. If you are traveling with a baby, it is better to carry along a supply of evaporated milk, dried whole milk and pure water. If your child is going to a summer camp, find out if the water supply has been tested and kept under favorable conditions. If necessary, have it

analyzed yourself.

Be careful of the water you drink in camps, summer resorts, and by the roadside when traveling. Make sure that no contamination by sewage or barnyard pollution is possible. If in doubt, use only boiled water or certified bottled water, and if you can’t be sure of obtaining it readily, carry along a thermos bottle of pure,

cold water.

This is the fifth of a series of 12 articles on Vacations and Health. The sixth, on What to Wear, mil answer the questions: 1. What clothes are coolest? 2. Should men wear belts ‘or suspenders? 3. What kind of shoes should be worn?

S. O. S.—CENTER FI ELD One of those little niceties not rhentioned in the book of etiquette is how to ask a ballplayer why he isn’t hitting. For some reason ballplayers consider their slumps a personal matter, like taking a bath. Tackling player on that point requires more diplomacy than asking the French govern rnent to pay its debts. ■I haven’t asked outfielder Johnny Moore of the Cincinnati Reds why he isn’t hitting—and I’m not going to. Yet, like every Rod fan. I’d like to know *the reason. I’d like to see Moore batting over .300 as a center-fielder should. What a difference that would make for the Rods. Moore played with the champion Chicago Cubs in 1932 and played regularly for the greater part of the season. It’s safe to say that he did his share in bringing the National League bunting to Wrigley feld. The fact that the Cubs couldn’t use him this year didn't detract from his value and worth to any other team. The Reds were considered fortunate in securing

him.

Yet the jinx that has dogged every promising plaver secured by the Cincinnati Reds, hounded Moore. He’s hitting far below hn expected clip. Manager Donie Bush frequently benches Moore, shifts Harry Rice to centerfieW and puts Wally Roettgei* in right. But that combination is hardly an improvement. 'Johnny Moore pan make a tremendous difference in the Cincinnati Reds if he will snap out of his slump. It takes a hard-hitting center-fielder to make a winning^ team. The much-favored Pirates for example, are very definitelj feeling the clump of centerfieldcr Freddy Lindstrom. If Moore can do his share of hitting for the Reds during the remaining part of the compaign it will constitute one more good reason why the Reds are a far better ball club in 1933 than they were in 1932.

After the fashion of the Lord High Executioner in “The Mika^ do,” who assigned disagreeable people to disagreeable fates. I’d like to sentence to exile all baseball managers who leave pitchers in the box too long. Why is it that the manager is the only man on the field who never realizes, until too late, that his pitcher is going to be knocked for a loop? On this score, it is proper to mention the fine direction which Manager Bill Terry is giving his New York pitchers. No Giant twirler ever stays in the box any longer than it takes Bill Terry to see that that hurler shouldn’t be there, and it doesn’t take Terry very long to find it out. That’s one of the main reasons why the New York pitching staff has performed sc sensationally this far in the camp-

aign.

Heart Disease

By JOHN H. WILLIAMS, M. D. (City Health Commissioner)

Under the general heading of “heart disease” are grouped various conditiens and complications affecting the heart and blood vessels, which, when taken together, make up the leacHng cause of death in the United States. Heart diseases of various kinds, outrank even tuberculosis, pneumonia and cancer, and causes about one

death in every six.

The human body resembles a complicated machine in many respects. The greatest difference lies in the fact that it must be kept going constantly. Any repairs or adjustments must be made while the engine is running.

3. Syphilis. The final and most serious results of this malady may not appear until the heart gives out years after the disease itself is no longer apparent. 4. Chronic infection. Teeth, tonsils, sinus infections, piles, goiter etc., may produce poisons which too frequently find their way to

the heart.

5. Overstrain. Too quick return to work or play after a serious illness. Sudden severe exercise or over indulgence in athletics may put a load on the heart which often causes permanent damage. The work out should be gradual. 6. Overweight. Whether too

the Chicago World’s Fair. Johnny wouldn’t be more than about twelve, and his sister a year or two younger. For weeks Johnny and Mary and many of their friends had been talking and reading about the wonderful land of dreams come true—>the “Enchanted Island” at the World’s Fair. Here little boys and girls walk side by side with story-book characters and clowns, and they can play and romp in a private Worlds Fair all their own. The Envy of All It was a great day in the little town where they lived when mother and daddy announced that they were all going, to the Fair. Johnny and his sister were the envy of the whole block. They had to promise to tell all their little friends all about the “Enchanted Island” when they came

back.

It was on a Tuesday when the big bus dropped them off at the fairyland gate that looks out over the busy waters of North Lagoon—hut it might have been any day, for the scene is always about the same. What! No Kids? Johnny and Mary looked out at he swarms of people. They nrned and looked at each other. Then they turned to mother and

dad.

“Dad!” cried Johnny. “Mumzy.” Mary tugged at her mother’s sleeve. “This isn’t ‘Enchanted Island.’ Look.” And they pointed pudgy pink little fingers. “There

2. Place garment in suds and wash quickly by gently swirling around and squeezing suds through it. Do not rub. Use a second or third suds if garment is badly soiled, but the entire operation should

quired 345 pounds of corn and 20 pounds of supplement to produce one hundred pounds of pork. This shows that there are very little saving in the amount of corn used when fed upon pasture. However, the hogs did save practically fifty per cent of the supplement that was required in making one hun-

Good Supplement Saves.

With corn advancing in price and feed supplies generally indicating an increased demand, the important thing for the farmer to consider is how much corn he can save by investing in one hundred pounds of good supplement for the feeding of his hogs. According to the Illinois circular, one hundred pounds of good supplement saves 642 pounds of corn on light pigs 3d n on heavy pigs in dry lot, and corn on heavy pigs in dry Ito, and 320 pounds of corn on light pigs oh pasture. On this basis, if corn was worth a cent a pounds, the farmer could afford to pay at least three cents a pound for good protein

to disease.

Under present conditions it will certainly justify a farmer to ge! out his pencil and figure the desirability of adding some good protein to his farm grains. o Industrial Work Continues Advance Administrator Johnson Warns Against “Wildcat” Price Increase—Encouraging Signs.

During May. industrial production achieved the largest increase recorded by the Federal Reserve Board’s index in 14 years. Reports in eajrly June show continuance Df the advance. Light industries, mch as shoes and textiles, are noving to new highes. Heavy in dustries—steel, lumber, automobiles, etc.—are participating to a

hundred!lesser extent in the march. Em-

ployment and wage statistics grow more encouraging, and there has been no weakening in the com-

modity price rise.

Of importance to all businesses is National Industry Recovery Administratior Johnson’s warning against efforts to increase prices without justification. There will be no price “wild-catting.” Effort will be given to raising the general price level gradually, through elimination of unfair competition, low wage scales and poor working conditions. Mr. Johnson also gave first intimation of what fair wages will mean: About 45 cents per hour, for a 32-hour week, for the

lowest-paid class. o

Dad Is Uncertain

“Well, children, this is the place, I guess. It looks like the pictures, and the sign says so, but—I—I” And daddy’s sentence drifted away on a wave of uncer-

tainty. “Well, let’s go in.”

“I .wanna go up the magic mountain,” said Mary. “Boy! So do I!” Johnny agreed. "Sorry,” said the guide, “but you’ll have to wait in line.” They followed his baton to a ^core or more lined up before the urnstile, all grown-ups, all hav-

ng the time of their lives.

“Oh, well,” Johnny said, “they’re daying the ‘Pied Piper’ in the

They tried the miniature railway. They tried the circus. They went to the ferris wheel, the ma rionette show, the merry-go-round. Everywhere the result was

the same.

Johnny and Mary were almost in tears. They were about ready to give up and go home, when a lady with a worried look, who had, been standing nearby for a few] minutes, spoke to mother. The 'ady smiled away the worried look md introduced herself. “I know just how you feel, and f’m terribly sorry,” said the lady. I’m director of Enchanted Island. “I just don’t know what we’re going to do. I’m afraid we’ll have to build an annex to Enchanted Island to be reserved for the use of children. With the exception of Fridays—Fridays are Children’s lays, and boys and girls are admitted to the grounds and on most of the rides for a nickel—we have far more adults on the Island than children. Something Must Be Done “They go on. all the rides, and they take in all the shows. They teem to find themselves projected right into the middle of a second childhood the minute they walk in f he gate. They certainly do have a grand time, and we like to see everybody happy, but they make it hard for the youngsters to have fun. We’ve got to do something,” Miss Blackstock sighed. “If you care for statistics,” the director of Enchanted Island continued, “I can tell you that, excepting Fridays, seventy percent of the audience in the Children’s theater is adults. Eighty percent of the patrons of the Toy Town Tavern are adults. More than halt of the tickets sold for the Magic Mountain and the miniature rail- y road are bought by—” “Mother,” Mary broke in, “where is Daddy?” They all turned around and looked.
