Avoid Prolonged Bed Rest

By Herman N. Bundesen, MO. I Nearly every family circle Includes some beloved oldster whose genlie wisdom and kindliness add Joy to the life of the home, but whose health offers special prole lense. If one of these elderly persons fall# 111. It la natural for the family to believe that prolong,*! res* in bed Is necessary. This Is far from true. Indeed, modern medical men are of the opinion that for most elderly patient* the shorter tho stay in bed. the better. According to fir. John F. Norman of Minnesota, when elderly people are confined to bed, they soon lack the will to make the effort to get up and around. They become hopeless in their outlook and In time even mentally backward. Without some incentive to get back to work or to their homes, these patients fail badly. The custom of keeping patients In bed for a long period of time is more or less of a tradition. With the improvement in surgery and medical care. It would appear that such prolonged l»ed rest Is unnecessary may even be harmful. Once an older patient Is up and around, he will, as a rule, feel that there is hope that hr is going to get well and he will co-operate better with the physician. Following operations In Mderly people, there la danger of complications affecting the heart, blood vessels Wd iuags. The danger is far great-

Kan i bus editor, who became a nation ally known In newspaper and political circles and contributed much to hie home town and state. Hr worked with his townspeople I through th«lr chamb- r of commerce service clubs, churches, i chords and colleges to make his community better. He helped Em porla to see Its own possibilities, ! .md he perhaps did more than any i other writer to give the outside I world a true plrtnre of the real worth of a small community. The hook has he- n so favorably reeelvcd that many have recommended It for the Pulitzer prize I Boston has lost 51 327 p r*ons In the last ten years The popttlaI tion la thought to have moved to I the suburbs, and not to those near 1 ’ by either, aw next-door Cambridge I ha* lost d *>sl and Chelsea 2.733. Boston’s • xperlence must be unusual. Most cities have gained ' during the war through the Influx of war-workers ftotn the countryside Boston and vicinity are so closely imcked with people however. constituting on of the densest populated areas in the globe that re-idents may have been moving out In self-defense. Or can they no longer support the tarefled atmosphere of learning which traditionally surrounds Boston? Or don’t they like .Mayor Curley? • _o o G neral Douglas MacArthur is planning to come home next month. The country should give him a great welcome. He lias been one of the nation's greate-t -old |<r* and prolwbly is the finest dip lomat we have and his command in Japan is one of the finest exI ample* of world statesmanship, i The hero of the Philippines and Tokyo should receive th warm and sincere appreciation of countrymen for completing one of the most successful jobs in all history. — G-0 The arrival of the uewbread. proc awed from so percent wheat, has caused a discussion of nutritional values and adequate diets The |pdiana State Medical Association says you should eat the following: a pint of milk a day for adults, a quart for children, eggs once a day, or three tint ■■* a week; at least one serving of meat or fowl or fish u day; at least one serving of potatoes a day, one y-How and one green leafy vegetable; two servings of fruit a day, one of them citrus, and whole grain cereals every day. Over in Europe, tb-y're just asking for bread.

er for overweight patients than for thm ones. Blood Clots In elderly patients after days or weeks of bed rest, blood clot* are llkeiy to form In the veins, particularly in the back of the ieg or foot. Pneumonia may develop due to a collection of fluid in the lungs, favored by prolouger inactivity and bed rest, Long-continued bed rest may ulßo be harmful in elderly people with heart disease since it not only may lead to congestion in the lungs but abv, to weakening of th* heart muscle. Os course, ho set of rules can be put down for all elderly persons. However, in general, it would appear that prolonged bed rest adds to the risk in ilinnaee of the aged who already are handicapped and many would do (letter It they are out of lied early. Problems regarding care of the old are more Important now than ever la-tore because the number of of old people Is constantly increasing. Hue to the rapid strides mad i In the prevention of disease and death in younger age groups, more people are living to a ripe old age. Today, in the United States there are over nfiie million persona of 65 years or more, an Increase of 36.5 percent during the last ten years, a period during which the total population increased only 7.2 percent.

CH AFTER THIRTY FOUR JENNY WENT slowly up the stepa at her house. She thought. Too much happens; it’s more than a person can take. She wsdked into the halt and found Butch sitUng on the lower step it the stairs, industriously washing her furry, triangular face. Jenny bent down and scratched her ears. Animals were wonderful, she thought, so uncomplicated, "Where's your son and heir?" she began, but before Butch could answer Jenny broke off, listening, her heart plummeting. She could hear the unmistakable, frightening sound of heart-broken weeping. She ran into the living room. "Gram," she called. “Gram!" The sound came from the kitchen. The dining room table was set. but no one was there. Jenny r owied open the kftchefi door and saw Ede sitting at the scrubbed w'lite table. her head on her arms. Gram stood beside her, little and thin, her face worn and frail, graven with : lines of old sorrows remembered and new sorrows lately encountered. Her hand was on Ede’s goldsilk hair. On the kitchen table, Jenny saw a yellow oblong of paper. The kitchen looked as It always did at dinner time. It felt the same. The kettle sang from the stove, the plants bloomed on the silL There I was the fragrance of good cooking. Now it darkened before Jenny’s eyes. She said, standing at the door, “Not Dick . . ." Gram looked up. She had been so Intent she had not heard Jenny call or come in. She said quickly, "He’s wounded. Jenny." Jenny’s heart rose. A wound could be. it must be. slight It sank again. A wound could bo serious • . . and fatal She went over to Ede, dropped on her knees beside her. and tried to take all of her in her arms. She kept " Ede ’ Irn *orry • • • bo Borry.** • Ede lifted her head and looked at her sister. Her eyes were swollen and her face devastated, the delicate skin blotched. She asked "How do you suppose 1 feel?" she turned away, her head down again, and was quiet but her body shook. And Oram said, “Get her upstairs, Jenny. I’ll call Steve" Ede didn’t want to go unet airs She didn't want to do anything except sit there and weep until no more tears were left But Jenny to her and out eg the kitehen and Anally, slowly ’’’■UtWy. up the stairs.

But once she said, "Tvs been such a fool, Jenny and once she asked, "If he—ls he lives, do you think I can make it up to him ?• Jenny said, “Os course you can.” But words didn't mean anything. She was sitting by the bed, much later, with Gram, when Steve came in. He dame up the steps two at a time. Gram went out to meet him and Ede said childishly, "Who’s that?" "Steve," said Jenny. "I don’t need a doctor," said Ede. "Os course you do," said Jenny. "Anyway, this isn’t just a doctor; it's Steve. He’s been through this himself. He knows what it’s like.” She could hear Steve speaking through the half-closed door: "—couldn’t get here beforecaught me at Hathaways’ . . ."

The moat skilled attention, and miracle working drugs—" He went on talking, his eyes on her bloodless face. Her pulse ticked under his Anger. Her hand was cold. He spoke to Gram. He asked, "How about an extra blanket?" It was a hot evening, all the past weeks had been breathlessly warm, but Ede was shivering. Her teeth chattered. Gram brought the blanket. Jenny said, low, "I put a hot water bottle at her feet." “Good," said Steve. Later he rase and took Gram Into the hall Jenny stayed where she was, tucking the blankets around her sister, holding Ede’s hands in hen. The ceaseless shivering went on. Jenny asked softly, "Do you feel warmer?” and Ede moved her head on the pillow. Her eyea were closed. Jenny went out in the hall, and Steve was just coming back, and Gram was on her way downstairs.
