Penalties of Poor Nutrition

By Herman N. Bundesen, M. 0. < Th* morn we l«*arn about the' 1 body's needs (or nourishment, the more wo appreciate the complex and often severe penalties of poor nutrition. ' Doctors are often called upon to treat children — particularly those between the ages of one and five — ' whose chief sympton seems to he diarrhea, or frequent emptying of the bowel. In such children, the ( stools are loose and unformed but ' not watery. They are large and ( have a frothy appearance. Children afflicted in this way lose weight to the extent that their bodies have a wasted appearance, while at the same time the abdomen Is greatly , swollen. Growth in general is apt to be retarded. Set of Symptons This set of symptoms Is known , as the eliac syndrome and. according to Dr. Sidney Farber of Boston, it is basically due to a long-con-tinued failure of nutrition, though ■ tow different conditions may be responsible for the nutritional fallure in the first place. One of these probably results from lack of a certain vitamin or 1 gronp of substances which are found in liver extract. Dr. Farber thinks that the condition is identical with another disorder known as sprue. The symptoms in sprue are similar to those which 1 have mentioned, together with other conditions that develop as a result of faulty nutrition. A Spee<*i Diet I1 Treatment consists of giving aj i

were out pourings of good-wt|| and t cooperation, something that we should all disperse throughout the year Let's keep in the Christmas mood und enjoy friendship with its' helpful benefits. — I Washington may have Its charms, but President Truman's family has already returned to Independence, Mo., to spend Christmas. The Chief Executive will fly there In the morning to lie with his wife and daughter and aged mother, all of which proves that there la nothing like the thrill of going home for Christmas. o —_o— _ Governor-elect Talmadgc's death presents an unprecedented situation In Georgia. The colorful executive who was elected to a fourth* term last November, had not yet taken office and chances are that Governor Arnall will continue to be the state's governor, or until the time the courts have the opportunity to rule on the manner of succession. Talmadge's passing will mean a change In political line-up in the Cracker state. I —’--o— p I Belgium Is going Oriental. The , public scribe, a familiar night on/ the streets of India, is now a recognized figure in Belgium, but for ■ If different reasons. In India so few can write thut a scribe who can * ,-et down a dictated letter, to say nothing of owning pens, ink and . i paper, can always make a living, ; The Belgians almost all read and write, but do not know to what bureau or how to apply for needed government help. Coal, milk, priorities of various sorts are most apt to be obtained if the applicant can write a convincing letter ad dressed to the proper government department. Heme the scribe. o o Ministers of twelve Protestant churches in the city have arranged an interesting program for "SpiriI tual Emphasis Week," January 5 j to 12th. inclusive. Dr. John Ben-’ son, noted lecturer and religious ■ leader has been engaged to deliver a series of spiritual messages, j assisted by Paul Halliday, of Man-j Chester college, who will direct thel singing. The services will rotate I among four of the churches to which all church-goers are invited. Emphasis on religion cannot be too strongly stres-ed these days and the world would be better off if we all followed more closely the words ami teachings of the Master.

diet rich in protein foods and limited in fats and sugars. Bananas and banana powder have also been found quite helpful. The patient should of course be supplied with liberal amounts of liver extract. Another cause of the celiac syndrome Is infections which may occur in the nose, throat, sinuses, kidneys, or elsewhere In the body. In such cases, Infection Interferes with nutrition and the intestinal disturbances clears up when the infection is removed, as many of them can be by treatment with penicillin. A Third Cause Htill a third cause for the celiac syndrome is a lack of secretions from a, gland in the abdomen known as the pancreas. Children with this condition have poor nutrition, large stools, and diarrhea. The pancreatic deficiency may be produced by some defect in the formation of this gland present at the time of birth, or by scar tissue which forms following an acute inflammation of the pancreas. The fourth cause of this coudition is due to development defects in either the heart, tbe organs of the xenlto-urinary system or to defects In the way in which the stomach and intestine are attached to the walls of the abdomen. Vitamins may be given in liberal amounts. The diet should be limited in fats, and also In starchy foods such as potatoes and bread, but should be high in protein foods meh 4» meat milk and egg*. with plenty ®f vegetanie*. fruits and sugars.

CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE Ti IE GUESTS were beginning to kave. I'rftiently Mrs. Hewlett joined Lydia and Eugenia. Folding her hands an one does who la about to sing ahe exclaimed, "Oh, I know you children have been having aimply a delightful talk! And do you know, Mrs. Stnrk, that Eugenia haa the perfectly insane idea of getting a job whin ahe could go back to Canada and have a perfectly marvelous time? What do you think of her?” “I think she should do what she wants to do and ahe seems to want a job.” "Do you really think so? 1 must confess 1 find the g*rls of today very difficult to understand. When I was young—and I’m not ao very old now, but when 1 was younger, the girls thought only of marrying the nicest boy they knew." Lydia could scarcely resist telling her that In that respect Eugenia was no different from the girls of her mother's generation. Instead she said that she must be going, too. At the last Eugenia said that she would call her. And at the last there was little that was condescending in Eugenia’s manner and her smile. There was, on the contrary. much that was touchingly grateful. It was as though thoughts of Chris and Kirby and Joe had waited outside for her, for when she went out they arose to greet her. • • • Because it was still raining she waited inside for Chris to come that night And when he came in, shaking the rain from his hat he gave her his broad, young smile. She went to him and kissed him, a lover's kiss. "la he . . .? It’s the same question I’ve been asking every night, Chris. Is Ernest Fitzhugh dead? Will Joe be tried for murder?" He shook his head. "No, I think Fitzhugh is going to come out of it” "Oft. that’s good. That’s wonderful. Then what will Joe be tried for?" "He’S be tried for criminal assault.” As they went into the living room he said, “Joe telephoned his parents out in Denver. He had to stall about not coming home. There's a girt out there, too. he’d planned to marry. He wrote her all about it and she’s coming to New York. She’ll probably be in court that day.” "Is the date of the trial set?" He lighted a cigaret and threw the match into the fire. "It’s two weeks from tomorrow.” He looked at her then, an intimate look that held so much she knew. Then he said, “I can’t take any money from Joe. He has bonds but not much cash and be ll need that to get married.” Lydia’s dark eyes were as warm as the red of her lipstick. "I see it your way, Chris. I always do." His eyes narrowed when he smiled. - , ... . "I see you. You’re ail I want to see. You're lovely to coma home count the hours, Do other

And a hundred years from now someone going through my belongings will find a gray flannel skirt and a yellow sweater and a pair of long woolen socks. She or be will say, *1 wonder why she saved these. There's nothing significant about them'... I was wearing them the first day you spoke to me. Do other people act as we do?" "If they don’t, they're missing a lot” “Mrs. Hewlett called me today and asked me to tea. Her daughter was there. Eugenia.” “Eugenia? Oh, yes." “What’s the matter with her? Why isn’t she attractive to men ?" He frowned and snu’ed at the same time. “She's . . . well, too approachable. There's something about a field that’s most intriguing when there's a fence around it . .. "I want to call Joe. I found him a room and I want to see if he’s settled.” As he went toward the hall, she said, "The day of the trial, may I come, Chris?" He stopped abruptly and looked at her. “Have you been thinking 1 didn’t want you there?” "I didn't know. I don’t know whether I'd be a hindrance or a help." "I always want you where I am and as close to me as possible.”

He straightened and his grip on his cane strengthened. “If I do a good job, I want you to be there to hear it But if I do a poor one, then I think you should be there to know where we stand.” The meaning behind the words almcat brought her to her feet But she sat back and folded her arms as Chris went into the hall and called a number ... To know where we stand" ... If he did a poor job, if his thinking faltered, if his to concentrate failed him that day in court, if ho toet the case and Joe was given a jail sentence, then she should be there to see, to hoar, to understand. And if that happened, what next for them, the veteran and his wife? What next, her mind echoed. It would be Chria on trial, t 00... All of them had or would come to a day of trial. AU of them. There would be that first day for all of them, for the former teacher who would walk into his first classroom since the war with a paralyzed arm In the sleeve of an old tweed coat. ...

Death pleaded guilty lute Monday to a charge of disorderly conduct, filed against him after he allegedly threatened members of his family and forced them from their home. He is a veteran of World War II and officials report they have attempted to persuade him to enter a veterans* hospital. Robert lambert, 37, another veteran. is in the St. Joseph hospital at Fort Wayne for medical treatment. officials said, after being released from police custody, lambert was charged with disorderly conduct after he allegedly slapped a lady tenant in his wife's apartment residence. .Mayor John B Stults in city court continued the case against him when relatives asked that he l»e released for medical treatment.

things that he had longed for three years to do if he were convicted. When Chris had finished his conversation, he came back and stood on the threshold of the living room. It was one of his many lovable gestures—to stand an Instant and took at her before he went to her. That little and probably unconscious pause of appreciation always made her heart beat faster. It seemed to enclose them in a world of their own, a small world of two in rhythm and two terribly In love. Later at dinner, she thought, she would tell him that Theo and Raphael and Kirby and Alan were leaving the country. And what of Wade, her mind asked again. What of Wade? Now Chris laid his head against her shoulder. His eyes looked tired before he closed them. “You know 1 am counting on sending Joe back to Denver,” he said. “He's settled in the room and all right But now. , . . When I come home I want to be lost In you. Talk to you, to hear you talk, to feel those fine bones of yours under your soft skin and then to sleep still close to you. . . . There are no hands like yours. Sometimes they excite me. At other times they make me sleep. Why do so few people know that happiness is that instant when you give a person what she in like measure is giving to you? It’s so simple and elusive and unique. . . . And it doesn’t always happen in the high moments of passion. . . . It's happening now when I’m going to sleep on your shoulder.” • • •

Tomorrow was Chris’s day in court. Tomorrow. Lydia waa on the terrace painting the outdoor furniture that Isaac had brought from the basement And now there were little daubs of white paint on her ffcoa and handa and blue denim slacks where there had been only earth dirt before. With each stroke of the brush she wondered If she ahouifl try to reach Kirby again because the thought of her lay like a weight tn her mind. For two weeks she had tried to reach her by telephone, and each time she had failed. The Una was busy or there was no rjiswer or Celia, the maid, said that Kirby waa not at home. She wondered if Kirby were avoiding a goodby. It was not unreasonable to suppose that after Kirby had said so vigorously that she was not going with her mother and Raphael. But trying to understand Kirby's probable attitude did not mitigate an ever sharpening concern tor her. When she thought of Kirby she felt not only deeply troubled, but also a strong urgency to see her—as if Kirby needed her. And, as she had been doing for the last two weeks, she stopped what she was doing and went inside and called her again. Bui there was no answer. She felt hoi all over when she thought, Maybt thay’ve gone!

CHAPTER THIRTY GOING OUT to the terrace again, Lydia picked up the brush and then pul it down. She had no heart for this. Once Kirby had said, “Not to be alone. . . . That was the most wonderful part of it all.. .. Not to be alone.*' in South America in Raphael's house Kirby would be alone. The young widow with her child, the dependent stepdaughter who liad lived all of her life and known all of her happiness before ahe was twenty. And now there was to be no more for her? It wasn't fair. It shouldn’t be happening to Kirby, who was herself so fair and so young. Kirby deserved a break. She’d had so few. And now it was too late. Too late for Wade, too. Kirby had been the best thing that had ever happened to him who had always lived for brief sensations. Feeling in some Inexplicable way that she had failed Kirby, she got up and walked around the house. Now there would be only letters between them. Would Kirby believe her when she wrote how hectic these last two weeks had been ? When she had wanted nothing to disturb Chris, everything had happened. Frances had cut her finger so severely that Lydia had had to drive her to the village to the doctor several times and she, of course, had had to do the housework and the cooking. Betty Stafford from Baltimore had arrived to spend a week of her vacation with her. Betty was one of those inexhaustible people who had to be doing something every second. One day in town with Betty she had called Kirby and Celia had said again that Kirby was out. All this with Chris foremost in her mind. I should have gone to the apartment and waited until Kirby came in. We should have talked it over. We’d have found some solution for her. I’ll never forgive myself that I let her go without seeing her. Nor would she believe what Kirby wrote. for Kirby was cure to write that she was fine, that ahe loved the place and the people. She was even capable of saying that she was having fun. Kirby would lie. She would lie in every letter. Where there had been a splendid truth between them there would now only be lies. Chris would be home soon. Better shower and dress. But try again. Call that number again. She would call Alan's nurse! SHE could tell her If they had gone! But her spurt of hope was short-lived. She did not know the nurse’s name because they had always spoken of her simply as “the nurse" or “Alan’s nurse." She was waiting outside when Chris came. Would their living together ever become so perfunctory that she would not be thrilled at the sight of him, the long lean length of him topped by one of the finest beads surely ever made and his wide, clean smite? To live intimately was not to lose the magic, but to heighten it. Perhaps you lose love «hen you cease to wonder at Its mystery. "T«u v« beta emattof," he said,

Taft Is Apparently Seeking Nomination Ohio Senator Seen Bidding For Post Washington. Dec. 24 — (UP) — Despite disclaimers, Sen. Robert A. Taft. IL. O„ looked more and more today like a man who had an eye on the 1948 Republican presidential nomination. His decision to take the chairmanship of the senate labor committee in the new congreae, rather than the senate finance committee, contributed to the belief that Taft had given more than imsslng thought to presidential politics. Taft further bolstered that belief last uight when he said the time wae near for a decision on whom Ohio Republicans will support for the 1948 nomination. The favorite eons are Taft and Sen.elect John W. Bricker. Although he refrained from calling himself a candidate. Taft said he and Bricker would "ait down soon and decide thia matter." Ohio Republicans are no leas anxious than Taft or Bricker to decide the 1948 candidate. There la an old political saying that you can't beat somebody with nobody. The backers of Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of New York can go to party leaders in other states and seek delegate support for their candidate. The supporters of former Gov. Harold E. Stassen of Minnesota can do the same But an of now when Ohio politicians talk to Republicans in other states all they can say la that Ohio will have a candidate for the nomination, but has not decided just who It will be. That Is pretty poor bait. James A. Farley capltaliged on a similar situation in 1930-31 when he barnstormed the country on a junket billed ax a visit to the Elks clubs of the nation. Jim Farley was and is a great Elk. Actually, he waa out bagging votes for Franklin D. Roosevelt. There was plenty of opposition to FDR but It never got together on a single candidate. If the opposition had been able to agree, like as not their candidate would have been nominated for president In 1932. Ohio realizes it Is In somewhat of the same fix. While neither Taft

his eyes amused. "You forgot to get some of it out of your hair.” Yes, I'm painting the outdoor furniture just as though 1 know you're going to win the case tomorrow, Chris. This case won't pay, but the next one will. We'll have to sell something else to keep us going for a while. . . . Just as though I know you’re going to win tomorrow and we'll live years and years In this house and raise our children In it Do you know how real our children are to me? She touched her hair and smiled. “I'm a little out of practice at wielding a paint brush. I started with great enthusiasm. But I lost it I still can't get Kirby. I've tried several times today. I don't know why it didn't occur to me that they've . . . gone." He slipped his arm through hers as they walked toward the house. "She didn't even say goodby. Pood kid.” “Maybe she wanted it that way. One of the most heart-breaking things you am think is *in vain.’ That £ how I feel about her, Chris. And there's so much to her and in her. There usually is in a person who’s had obstacles to overcome. She spoke so many times of people living the Ilves they were meant to live. She's the last person in the world who should have to live the one she's going to live. She'll hate it, hate It silently, and she’s hated enough. Living the life you were meant to live and doing the thing you were meant to do.” Her eyes sought his. “As you will do tomorrow." •Tomorrow's the day. Tomorrow Is all the days of our lives, Lydia. More than three years since I've been an attorney. A beach-head would probabl. seem more familiar than a courtroom.” “Has Joe's girl arrived yet?” Tonight He's meeting her train tonight?" "Did you have to find her a place to stay, too?” He smiled. "As a matter of fact, I did. She's never been in New York before.” "Ernest Fitzhugh will be there tomorrow, won't he? You see how limited my knowledge of legal procedure is." Chris smiled again, but ruefully this time. "Oh, sure, he’ll be there with a bandaged head. He and his friends were having a quiet little game of poker when Joe came In and picked a fight Joe was drunk, of course. That will be his story. And HE missed death by inches. An unprovoked attack upon an innocent, law-abiding citizen.” Are you ready, Chris? Will you forget that people will see that you are a cripple? Is your mind sufficiently patched that it will be able to think straight and quickly? Tomorrow is all the days of our lives. The clock had chimed the half hour after seven when the telephone rang. . Lydia arose quickly. “It might be Kirby," she said. "Your hope dies slmvly, dcasn't it?-' Chru asked, But bu eyas bad
