Older People Should Count ■ Calories, Avoid Overweight;

By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M-B. ; < WHAT to feed the baby 19 not tod much of a problem nowadays, J . Every baby has its own milk .formula, and there are , plenty of specially prepared baby 1 foods, Research is always going on to Improve the infant diet ' The older person also has speJ clal needs, but he Is not as apt to get the right type of food. He Is usually responsible for choosing his own food, and doesn’t know the real needs of his body. Lifelong Habits Any great change meatus up-setting-lifelong habits, which is hard. If he does not get to thinking about improving his diet, the newspapers, magazines, and radio bombard him with food fads an'd ’special food supplements that promise to keep him young. Can we make any sense out of all this? First of air, with decreased physical activity, the older person requites less total food in the way of nutrition. In spite of this, the olddr person who eats a good deal may Abt , get all the nourishment he needs. This shortage may be due to. some chronic disorder — missling of \ badly lining teeth, slower digestion, a loss in the power of taste, | or perhaps an Internal disorder | such as dysentery, which prevents the proper absorption of • food. The person’s budget and habits may also make for a i monotonous choice of food that r denies him proper nourishment. In old age the body siz& tends to decrease. This means that it usuallyj takes fewer calories to maintain the elderly person’s weight. But many older people to ;the United Statqs may actually put on more weight—too much, ’O so they are overweight. ’-rto Overweight oan be a real burden for the aging person, it ; overtaxed the muscles and has !a bad Influence on certain degeht eratlve diseases of old age, such as hardening of the arteries and high blood nre^sum,\

Can we make up a “formula" for the older person? No, but here are some general ideas—which should, of course, be talked over with your\ family doctor. The elderly person should limit his intake jot fat, taking a good amount of’ his food In proteins, such as meats, cheese, and fish. These supply what are known as the essential amino acids needed for rebuilding tissue and protecting th|e IlveT. Highly refined carbohydrates; such as sugar and white flour* should not be eaten too much, i« - • |. Usually it is wise to take (some supplemental vitamins, as absorption of vitamins may be impaired with old age. Furthermore, certain B-complex Vitamins are needed for liver protection, namely, choline and Inositol. Extra iron A mild anerhia is very common In old age. Extra Iron and a diet which has Sample iron, will tend to decreasefany anemia present.\ Too often the amount of so-; dium or salt Is restricted in the eMerly person’s diet. This should not be so rigid as to cut out salt completely, ■ tort fust to decrease the amount. In extremely hot weather the person can stand more salt, [ > Thus, without too many changes, the elderly person can easily\ satisfy his nutritional needs. 1 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS P.

I had that done for Doctor Pryor* He pa‘d good enough rent to warrant thb improvements.” . £ “Oh. yes, rent” Deborah Wenfc to a window, lifted the shade to toe top to let in more of thejlig gering daylight “How much rerw did he pay you ?" She spoke rio\V' with that odd quiet 1 “He paid me seventy-five q month, but with y0u....1 She turned, came up to him, het 1 eyes warm. “Willie, don’t be barrassed about it!

Willie, «£• was good to see you and your chiLi dren together—you’ve a very nice, family. It is very sad that Mary had to die* I remember her as to young girl, a lovely girl... Now' help nto carry my food to the; kitchen." She went ahead of him, bags ip her own arms. In the kitchen, arhe, switched on a ceiling light experimentally, exclaimed, “An electric stove! And a Frigidaire! You did; fiX up Doctor Pryor very well. Sit: down, now, while I put stuff away.” ' Deborah sat down across the table from him. “You followed the pattern made for you, didn’t you, Willie? You never made one of your 0wn...” ' h He did not like the sorry tone in which she eaid thia “I’ve every reason to be satisfied with the way I’ve lived. At least...” Deborah smiled. "It ts better than toe way 1 have, you were going to say? Maybe sd, maybe not. Sometimes I think life doesn’t owe ms a thing.

Lutheran Pastor Attends Conference ■ r 1 The Rov. Edgar P. Schmidt, pastor of Zion Lutheran chiirch, and chairman of the Youth Board of the Central District of The Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod attended a two-day conference of more than 50 youth leaders of the Lutheran church this week, in St. Louis, Mo. Members of the conference unanimously agreed that the most (critical 'area in church work today is among the youth of the land. The youth leaders, assembled from all parts of the Uriited States and Canada, heard Dr John W. Behnken, president of the church body say in the opening session on Wednesday morning that the duty of the church is to help “the youth evaluate life’s purpose.’” Behnken said, “The youth must be taught that their bodies lives are not their own—they belong to God”? 'jjtotha hatch in four eight days in summer months and un to three weeks in winter.

Her light tone quickened all Will Brent's first apprehensions. “Is he—still living?” Deborah leaned across the table toward him, a faint scorn in her Cyes. “Willie, is it worrying you so —my coming back, dragging what you think a dubious past along with me? Yes, Roger ts still living. We agreed tci a divorce and it’s a nice clean divorce for incompatibility. The others —died in respectable fashion.? “You married again very soon after Curtis died.” J “Three years. A much longer time when measured by loneliness. You had your Children after Mary diei” ! ' \. . Hpr manner changed. The scorn left her face; she looked only tired. She said, “I was hoping you would te glsd to see me! That ypu’d kept something from our growing Up together, here in tins o|d nouse. But 1 don’t suppose you had a chance. Willie, do you know one reason I came back?” : “I’ve wondered...” “I wanted to go back to \ the beginning—see myself as I was, when 1 was a child. To understand how much hate had to do with what I became. Your mother hated me, you know. No —don’t deny it. You wouldn't have known, perhaps, at your age then, but she .did. 1 understand why—she hated my mother, was jealous of hef—she’d wanted to mairy Father when he married my mother —and there 1 was to keep it alive in her. And I hated her. I want to know, if I can, what ft did to me. You see, I am nlanrrtng my memoirs.” “Memoirs!” Will Brent almost shouted it in his fresh alarm. “What.'..” \ ,\ ■ "I know —I’ve done nothing to make me a celebrity. But —couldn’t the story of just an ordinary .woman—a woman who has experienced almost everything life has to hand out- make interesting reading?” \F I One marriage after another... Chill prickled up the back of Will Brent’q neck. "I am not a judge of such reading. But —I didn’t know you wrote!” Deborah laughed. *1 don't. I am not planning to do the writing. I’ve a friend coming here soon to Visit me, who writes, ft Was he who suggested toe story. Rom Bareek. He is Polish.” Will Brent pushed back Ms chair. "1 must go over heme. I put your bags In the upper hall— I did not know which room you’d use.” . “My old room. Thanks.” She went to the door with him. “I’ll write out a cheek for the rent tomorrow—l’ll leave it *lto Susan,” she said. (To Bn Continuedf

The People’s Voice This colmhn is for the use of our readers who wish to make suggestions for the general good dr discuss questions of interest. No articles will be published without signature of the author. 0_ o Favors Veterans’ Bonus 1 certainly believe that all, veterans deserve a bonus and was under the impression that taxes were being collected for that purpose specifically. But evidently the money was collected during the Democratic administration -is now up for sale to the highest bidder. (Republican bidder that is). (Rep. Phillip Willkie of | Rushville has introduced, a bill to kill the veteran’s mondy collected so far, for building roads and institutions. In other woi4s, if Willkie pushes tys bill through, the veterans mdney will become a political plum, for him and his colleagues. I am certainly willingltb go aiongrwith the cancellation of the veterans free hunting and fishing permits, so that the conservation program may not die because of lack of funds, but I think charity begins at home. Let the Republicans also cancel the bill they recently passed giving them >lO a day expense money. Let them leave hands off of veteran’s bonus money which is not for thfem to disburse. Let Willkie of Rushville stop berating his father’s worthy name which has carried him even this far in his socalled political career. , Jud Bleeke, i Decatur route 2.

Explains Stand Editor Daily Democrat There have been several articles ;in the Decatur Daily: Democrat concerning the present (experience of Yost Construction ! Company. Inc., being picketed at the city of Decatur power plant, where we are now engaged in ’construction work; we believe it only fair that the citizens pt Decatur receive the facts so that they can draw a fair conclusion. ‘ We feel this way most strongly; since in affect, it is money belonging to the citizens of Decatur vyhich we are spending and when increased construction costs will necessarily reflect into their personal pocketbooks. 1. Why does the :AFL headnnarters in Fort Wayne, who are not interested in 4 Decatpr; ppy no taxes in Decatur, and buy no groceries ih Decatur hqve a picket line to prevent our Union workmen going to work at the city power plant? Answer: Apparently because they want the Yost (Construction Company, Inp., to sign a contract with the Uhion Builders Trade Council of Fort Wayne, who would then proceed to dictate our hours of work and the wages which we should pay for that tobrk* 2. Why does the Uhion Builders Trade Council of Fort Wayne have the right to make such a demand on Decatur people? * Answer: In our opinion, they don’t have such a righthand their assuming of this prerogative 3 s completely contrary, to all ! conception of free business enteifPr*Be~3. Does the "Yost Construction Company. Inc., completely ignore union labor or do they use union labor where possible? Answer: The Yost Construction company has iiSed many of the union craft in this particular project. as well as on many other projects during the past 20 years. 4. Why doesn’t the YoSt Construction company concede to (he demands of the Union Builders Trade Council of Fort Wayne, and go 100% union? Answer: The ( Ypst Construction Company. Inc.,; has for several years maintained and still maintains that it is not practical or fair to the taxpayers of Ijecatur to be 100% union* particularly inasmuch as Fort iWaynej' business agents can then dictate the rules and wage rates. I'Y I Also* ive believg that Ovejry employe has the “God given right”' to belong or not to belong to a union or to the church of his choice or any other organization of his choice, and we do not agree that a business agent of a union should abrogate. ‘\ , ‘ 5. Has any one worker or nonunion worker, working on the power plant project, complained about Yost Construction (bothpany, l ,Inc.. in not having signed up with the Union Builders Trade Council of Fort Wayne? \ Answer: We have not received • single complaint from our workmen or in fact 6. Does the Yost Construction company object tp people working for them that do belong to labor unions? Answer: As pointed opt above, we believe that it is the “American Way” for the, individual to decide as\to what organization he wishes to join and it is not his employer’s prerogative to dictate to him In this manner, arid we feel just as\ strongly that neither should a trade gounell dictate that an employe piust join a union any more than tp be dictated to what church he Should belong.

Why Tommy Eye Had To'Be Removed

Ten-yearjold Tommy Mann is resting In a Chicago, 111. hospital after hei had his eye removed last Tuesday. Were not the operation performed Tomniiy would surely die.

Mrs. Clifford Minn, foute 2, noticed that Tommy’k left eye had become inflamed just before last Christmas.

Later, at the Lutheran hospital, Fort Wayne, the tumor was disected to the ast bit. But something seemed be wrong. In the doctor’s “At first I thought there was only a nub of a tumor there, but as the operation progreessed I found it heceisary to go deeper and deeper until at last I found the end of it right near the optic nerve, where it enters the brain. ' "Two wejeks later, when we had a chance tb inspect x-rays of the area, we discovered to our horror that the complete left side of the boy’s lorbit was affected by this most vicious type of cancer, nearly Unknown in a person so young as Tommy.
