Balanced Diet for School-Age Child

By Herman N. Bundesen, M. D. OVER and over again I have emphasized the importance to everybody—man, woman and child —of a well-balanced diet containing vitamins, minerals, and the proteins found in such foods as meat, milk, and eggs. Such eating is important for so many reasons that it would be impossible to list them all at once. Lack of it means lowered resistance, and lowered resistance has myriads of possible harmful consequences. One of these —and one which would scarcely be guessed at by the average person—is the fact that it allows certain parasites to gain a foothold in the body and take up quarters there, a thing almost never seen in the person who always eats properly. Among the parasites which may infest the human body, particularly children of school age lire pinworms. These worms may often be present without producing any hut vague symptoms. However, certain gastro-intestinal discomfort may result. When pinworms in children do not cause anemia or lack of coloring in the blood, they often c,to produce dark circles under the eyes and paleness. Sometimes there is itching around the lower ope.ning of the bowel. There is no relation between Piin-worm-infestation and bed-wetting, thump-sucking, itching of the nos.v, or grinding of the teeth. However. I restlessness and sleeplessness are ( often symptoms. In about half the cases, there is an increase in the blood of the number" of white cells known as eosinophils. It is suggested that a preparation vjojet be cm- ; played in. the treatment of pipU yeuB««» eiildraa

with green fir trees. The driver, who walks beside the animals, wears a red shirt. A snow-covered . house in the background has a red chimney. The double red cross that is the symbol of the Anti Tuberculosis Society adds another '■ touch of Christmas color. The little stamps deliver much for their : cost. They add cheer to the en- . velopes and packages they decorate, and hope to the lives blighted or threatened ‘with tuberculosis. The continued interest of Bri- » tons in the every move of the honeymooning Princess Elizabeth and her princely consort, Philip, is testimony that the island empire’s dreams of glory are not dead. Restrained only out of deference to the young couple's desires for pri- ■ vacy, throngs greeted the two as they moved from the Mountbatten estate to Malmoral Castle in Scotland for the second half of their honeymoon. Britishers may be living in a socialized state today, undergoing the strictest austerity. They themselves may have limited wardrobes and menus. But this in no way prevents them from enjoying all the pomp and glitter of this romance. The Briton likes to witness royal splendor, enjoys the thought that in this young couple the prosperous days of the Empire live again. o o A Popular War: Although everybody hates war, when man kills his brother, there is such a thing as a popular war. It’s a war on rats! In this and other counties in the state the declaration of war becomes effective December 12. The army will be composed of 2,(100 farmers who intend, not only to rout the enemy, but destroy all members of the rodent family. It’s not a shooting war, nor a cold war. The bait is a new and highly effective red squill, prepared with ground fish or meat, which the farmer sets out along rat runs on his farm. Red squill is not poisonous to animals or wild life, authorities explain. In the schools of the county, orders for the red squill will be taken to December 5, and delivery of the product will be made to the i same schools a week later. The : poisoned bait is approved by the U. S. Wildlife Service. A rat’s board bill is estimated at $5 a year, plus other destruction, i One can of bait will save the farl mer many times its price.

. four, one tablet a day, for a week, . is usually sufficient. Between the . ages of five and seven, two tablets are given; between eight and eleven, three; and between twelve . and fourteen, four are given. After a month, the treatment is repeated. The tablets are not chewed but , swallowed whole. If sickness at the stomach, vomiting, diarrhea, or constipation occurs, treatment is stopped for a day or two and then resumed. Many children are carriers of pinworms. Even after they are treated to get rid of them, reinfestation ma J take place because of lack of cleanliness. Another drug, which is sometimes employed in the treatment of pinworms, is known as phenothiazine. It is given daily for five days, the dose varying with the age of the child. However, it may be responsible for producing anemia in some instances. Hexylresorclnoi is another drug quite frequently and successfully used for pinworm eradication. Children with pinworms should be taught to keep their hands clean and out of their mouths. It is very important that they wash their hands thoroughly after going to the toilet and before eating. Their finger-nails must be clipped or cut short. The underclothing and betclothing should be thoroughll laundered to eliminate all of the parasites and eggs of the parasites (on them, so that reinfestation will not take place. With proper treatment, it is possible to get rid of the troublesome parasites. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS FL S.; Would you please explain how the pulse rate is taken?

ARAB HEADS CALL (Continued from Page 1) range basis. Spurred By Violence Lake Success, N. Y., Dec. 1 — (UP) —The United Nations high command, spurred by the outbreak of Arab-Jewish violence in Palestine, called a special meeting today to speed assembly of the machinery for partitioning Palestine. ' Secretary-general Trygve Lie called his staff together with hopes of organizing within two weeks the five-nation United Nations commission which will supervise the Holy Land’s transformation from a British mandate to two sovereign states. British officials here disclosed meanwhile, that Britain would retain control of Palestine for at least two and probably three or four more months. This would provide the UN with precious time for organizing the commission and establishing provisional councils of government in the projected Arab and Jewish states. Britain will remain responsible for law and order in the Holy Land during the two to four-

CHAPTER SIXTEEN t! THET were on tneir way in a n?.lf an nour, Suzy and Alison and a Sam m th* front seat, Miss Win- 1 stead in the rear seat. The child t was taut with excitement, her eyes ' enormous and expectant. Winnie c looked so pleased one would have £ thought she was setting out on a i long holiday. 1 They drove through Alexandria and Fredericksburg and through 1 small unknown towns clean with < white paint, the church spires < reaching toward the sky. the inevitable brick courthouses deserted 1 in the closing light of day. They > drove past farms and over bridges ’ until the farms and bridges were 1 lost in the tender stillness of the ■ night. Presently Sam turned the car down a long lane at the end of which was a large but obscure house. Tom, the colored man, came out for their bags and when 3 they were inside Viola, his wife, • dried her hands on her apron before she came to greet them. r The house was large and old. The floors creaked and it was impossible to tell what the original color of the wallpaper had been. The house had a musty odor of a e place too much closed to the sun and air. But the furniture was goo d—old, substantial, dignified s pieces and someone had collected pewter and brass. Sam's nouse I made Alison think a little of Suzy. | Like her, it had been retarded, but I given care and affection and work | it could be restored to its rightful j health and beauty. It was a night of unceasing wonders for Teresa’s daughter. | Suzy sat at the table with Sam I and Alison and Miss Winstead. I Then Alison took her in the living | room and before the warm fire I dressed her tn her costume. Tom I brought in a hastily scooped-out I pumpkin with a lighted candle inside.

Suzy wilted suddenly and asked I for the doll she slept with. Her little face looked pinched and white 5 when Sam carried her upstairs fol- > lowed immediately by Winnie.

High Cost Os Living Biggest News Story 10 Leading News Events Are Listed New York, Dec. 1 —(UP) — The ' high cost of living was the biggest ; news story of 1947 in the United ; States in the opinion of United , Press editors who announced today their annual list of the 10 outstanding news events of the year. The U. P. pointed out that 1947 was a year marked by “continuing news stories” as contrasted to other years when big unexpected breaks dominated the country’s front pages. Under the high cost of living, for instance, would be included inflation, the removal of many wartime price controls, the efforts of Republicans in congress to reduce taxes, the housing shortage and the attempts of manufacturers to meet the heay demands for consumer goods. The No. 2 story on the U. P. list also was a “continuing” one — the United States versus Russia, inside and outside the United Nations. It was listed as “the Cold War.” The U. P. list from the viewpoint of American newspaper display: 1. The high cost of living. 2. The Cold War. 3. Passage of the Taft-Hartley law and subsequent litigation. I 4. The Hughes-Meyers investigation. 5. Texas City, Tex., disaster. 6. Princess Elizabeth’s romance. 7. Partition of India. 8. Series of airplane disasters. 9. Arab-Jewish controversy over Palestine. 10. The world series. Q SIX KILLED IN (Continued from Page 1) Ira Van Valkenberg, 40, driver of the car, miraculously escaped injury when the crush of the plane sprung the door on his side of the car and he leaped clear before flames reached him. Gordon Johnson, 21-month-old son of Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Johnson Palmer, Alaska, and Mrs. Virginia Stitsworth, 33, Tacoma, Wash., were trapped in the blazing plane and burned to death. Three other passengers died of first degree burns in King county hospital several hours later. They > I month period between now' and ■ I the official termination of its . i mandate.

nouse with the lights on upstairs i and down. Sam s house was what 1 a house should be, she thought. I Teresa knew all about making a ; house oeautiful so that others would admire and envy it. But did she know that a house should also be a sanctuary? Sam knew it. He had come back to it from the war. She stood very still when she heard footsteps on the path. She didn’t move until ho was quite close to her. “Why did you come back to this, Sam?” To a farm when farm help is scarce, to c fine old house sadly in need of paint and repairs, to a newspaper that “could be better” . . . You might have got a job in town and missed all thia He put his arms around the pickets and looked out over the fields. “It’s a funny thing, but a lot of the fellows 1 talked with over there wanted to go in business for themselves. They wanted something of their own to work for. They’d had so much of regimentation they wanted to be their own bosses for a change. This is mine. It was my father’s and his father’s and so on down the line. It gave them all a good living. It gave my father a good living until he couldn’t hire help and his health was poor and my mother wasn’t here. I think you can say you’ve had a good life when your face changes for the better year after year. There’s a portrait of my mother in the hall upstairs. Look at it. Her presence was a calming influence on everyone she knew. And she was more beautiful when she was old than when she was young." “Was Teresa ever here?” “No. She never came. I never asked her. I knew she wouldn’t like it” He looked at her. “I can talk about her to you. There’s no mystery as to why we didn’t make a go of it.” “Why didn’t you?” "Teresa and I had a mating—but not a marriage.” She said slowly, “She wanted I you for a lover but not for a hus- ■ band." “She had no need for a husband after she had a child.” Alison thought. Teresa lives ■ alone, it’s true, but she doesn’t like i it, Sam. She tries to deny her I womanhood. But a child isn’t all > of a woman’s life. The child is ■ only a part of it. He said, “She changed after we were married into someone with a motor iq place of a heart. We s po Ijoijje We. She worked ajl

the time. She went from her office to the hospital the night Suzy was born. I wasn’t called until it was all over. 1 always thought a woman wanted the father of her child with her then. The war s, lit us apart. It does one or the other. . It has no respect for the middle line.” “I’ve always thought of husband and lover as the same. Add companion to it and you have everything. The pity with humans is that our children, results of only a mating, are for so long helpless. And where there isn’t a traditional marriage the children are torn limb from limb, from one parent to the other.” After a moment he said, “I heard what you said and I agree with everything you say, but I was listening to your voice again.” He turned and looked into her face. “There’s something exotic about you. I’ve been thinking about you lately, Alison.” “What have you been thinking, Sam?” “Not thinking. Feeling.” “Do you trust them, your feelings?” “More than 1 always trust my thoughts. As much as I trust you." “You know me very little.” “I’ve known you for four years That’s not so little. And when you crossed my vision that day recently, you weren’t simply walking into Teresa’s firing room. You were walking into my life again.” “I never walked out of it I only took a leave of absence to grow up so we could be contemporaries.” As he smiled he covered her hand with his. “You don’t know you’re exotic, do you?" “I’m as close to the earth as ■ you are, Sam.” Put new they were close to each i other. Perhaps they would have > been closer still, so close she would ! have felt the beating of his heart, had not Miss Winstead flung open the door and hurried down the ■ path. “Oh, excuse me, Mr. Tarrant, 1 but I can’t get my window up.
