INFANTS and young children* are especially subject to attacks < f diarrhea. In many eases the; -upset is due to infection -with specific germs, and henoe can be treated with one or another of the antibiotic drugs. Just as often, however, the. illness seems th > Occur in the absence of any infed tion. The problem of handling it x is made more difficult and is largely a matter of soothing the digestive tract until food can again be tolerated, -Recently. a number of children with thil type of were treated* with good resuits by giv-i \ ing them dried, bananas. In carry-j ing out the treatment, the doctor placed., the children. on feedings of One tablespoon of dried banana per poqdd of body weight for each ‘‘4-hoUr period- Ta-o ounces of water were used to dilute each taolespbon \L '<s dried banana. "Enough, feeding was made tip for j the whole day and the total amount was divided into nine, feedings. Boiled water was given as often as possible between feed-, ings. ’ ; \' At the end of two or three days. *f the infant’s condition was improved.; the 'dried banana was give® milk.

past year and has given excellent leadership in the post. The new should plan immediately for next fall’s campaign and have budgets approved In advance of, the annual drive. Instructive discussion on these important civic undertakings should begin at once with the idea of haying all ques- ‘ tions settled by campaign time. There is entirely too much apathy od the part of citizens toward these worthy causes. A community does not grow, unless it tweets challenges and always strives to build a better place for our boys and girls. . , . —o 0 Opposition:— Much of the opposition in congress to the administration’s foreign policy sounds like this: v ( I I ' •: : Wage war without an army . . . Get out of Korea, but wage aggressive war against China Build defenses and a large homo j army without spending mpney ... Crush Communism, but crawl into our shell and let the Reds run wild over the world. Have a powerful military system, but don’t have Military training. Don’t provoke Russia by sending troops to. Europe, but carry the war to China. J Ridiculous you say! That’s the way the arguments sound to us! ‘ —O_ o * Paid Insurance The President has signed a bill .. which will provide $10,0(»0 worth of insurance at government expense to all members of the armed force®. This is to replace the National Service Life Insurance; which was held by the men who served in World War 11. A clause in the. new insurance program provides that its "protection be made retroactive and include men since the start; Os the KoYean fighting last June.; The government is recognizing a financial responsibility to the men who fight and to their families by talJng this action. Most of the mien who held Na tional Service Life "insurance dur- .* Ing World War II have received dividend payments which amdunt to a refund of a large part of the money they had paid. The new program, which will assure men fighting for their country that their loved ones will get some compensation if misfortune comes, is one official gesture of appreciaz .tion for the* sacrifices which service men make. i ■ -.

inent began, the Infants were first given, fluids by injection under the skiu or into a vein to restore normal’ fluid balance. The results obtained by the use of the dried banana were compared with those obtained with other methods of treatment,* such as a period of starvation during which fluids were given by injection under the skin, followed by the use of formulas of skimmed milk, or protein milk with water or tea between feedings. • . With the banana treatment it was that the average time required for a cure was 2.9 days. F.y the other method, of treatment it was 5.02 days. At the end Os 72 hours, out of the 20 children treated with the banana preparation, 17 were rated in good condition and s three With, the .other metjhod of treatment, seven < hildren were good, seven |air, and six poor. Sixteen of the 20 children treated with the banana gained weight {during the treatment. i \ | • It would seem, therefore, that dried banana has an effective substance in the treatment bf diarrhea in infants and young children. ;•. i Questions and answers A.8.: Is there any absolute cursor spurs* on the heel bohes? Answer: The condition usually . can be cleared up completely with pthe aid of surgery. * J]

Gen. Albert .C. Wedmeyer’s 1947 recommendations on Korea. Acheson told a news conference that the only’ recommendations Washington failed 'to carry out was Wedmeyer's proposal that the United States create a" Korean scout force with American officers in commhnd. ' Instead, Acheson said; the U.’S. built up a; 150.008-man Korean defense fore ? with American officers as Advisers rather thah command-, ers. •• ; “Certainly our course in Korea has paralleled the recomibendatibns of Gen. Wedmeyer,” Acheson said. ; The loqg-secret Wedemeyer report, mad<i public yesterday, warn-, ed Presidsnt Truman that Russia; then—in 1947—was preparing North Korea communists for an invasion of the Republic of (South) Korea.
