Gout, the Forgotten Disease

By Herman N. Bundesen, M. O. i Hout ha* been called “the for-' gotten disease'' jecauue. though It wait fully described more than 2«0 years ago by an English physician, It Ik frequently not recognised when it appears today. And i it does occur though, perhaps, lean often than in former year*. (lout was formerly thought toj be an affliction of those who lived too wall and the painful, gouty foot waa always associated with the British squire, who ate three' good meat nieatoi a day and washed them down with vintage port. Definite Symptom* Today, we realise that the exact! cause of gout is still unknown. Its symptoms, however, are well-de-fined. It most often begins sodden |y and usually, but not always., •tarts with a moderate pain in Unjoint of the big toe. Very noon, the joint become*' swollen and so tender than even the pressure of a sheet Is intoier-j able. Dr. Joseph P. McCracken and his co-workers of Boston have 1 Studied 100 patients with gout. Os this group, 01 were men and »l were women. About half were ©fj native American parentage; 15 were Jewish, and 1Z Italian. The; age us the patterns at the beginning of tie firm attack varied fronij IP to 78 years Apparently the disease does not run In families. The diets of the patients werej Studied to determine if the food oaten might have been a factor In. producing the disorder. However., fa tbe msjortty of lostawrr. the naticmU did not overeat nor did they talc any particular food in. 1

Vast areas of the sugar growing countries of the world were cither , laid waste or used for other crops . , during the war. In Puerto Rico, Hawaii, the Philippines, Java. Formosa, Europa —• this year's • sugar output is far behind that ot the 1930'5. ' This year Is worse than last 1 Although crops In tho Western 1 Hemisphere arc expected to gam 1 over I‘‘4s. the total sugar for the world will be about three-quarters . of a million tons under last year's. ' 1 aud six million tons lees than in 3N. ‘ according to figures given in World 1 | Report. The amounts to 400,WMi ' less tons for the United States. 1 which would have made a lot of 1 jelly and jam. ■ Things look better fur sugar growers next year, when much of the acreage formerly used for the 1 crop will be hack in production. Russia and Germany alone expects to double their production of 1 beet sugar. Cuba and Puerto Rico 1 < Xpert to do better, also, but re--1 covery of the plantations iu the Far East is essential to meeti Ing the worlds needs. American sugar bins will not 1 be comfortably full for some lime. 1 hut from now on each year should 1 tiiiiiK real improvement. -o o The Primary Teacher 1 There is no more im|*ortant position in the entire public school system than that of a teacher in the lower grades. Aside from a child’s parents, no stronger iti1 fluence can be exerted than that ’i of his first guide to tha world of 1 i hooks. r There have always been, and if ‘ | our world is to survive, must always be. women of splendid ' | character who, in spite of the low pay and other disadvantages connected with grade school teaching. , devote their lives to small chil- ■ dren ! They patiently train small hands to write, aud patiently correct stumbling tongues in the first es forts to read aloud They watch group after group of youngsters leave their rooms for higher grades, every group having added i “ few gray hairs lo Teacher's head. They are mothers, in a xpiriual sense, of a thousand children, and when these women die, they leave many to mourn them. They neither need nor want a finer memorial than the well-train-ed young people whom they have started on the path of life. •
