With a minimum of workers, hospitals are struggling to still give good service. In some hospital doctors are “rationed” to four operations a day, with emergencies taken

DEAR JANE JORDAN—I am ga girl of 18, going with a .boy about six months younger. I like him a lot and he likes me but his mother|: disapproves of his seeing me. He is just her stepson but she got him through the court when he was five years old. She disapproves of every girl or boy he makes friends with, We aren’t high-class people and we aren’t low-class people. We are just plain working people and so are his. Yet his mother wants him to go with the higher classes and even has brought girls to her home to try to get him interested in them. He says he doesn’t want to go with anyone but me. I have been married and I am not divorced but I am going to get a divorce, I married at 13. My stepfather mistreated me and I thought I would be happier married.” The man I married was 25 years older than I. He was wonderful for five or six months and then treated jme worse than my stepfather. "I lived with him three years because he made me believe I had to and I was too young to know that I didn’t. Now he doesn’t want me back but is stubborn about a divorce. Should I stop seeing this boy or any boy until I am free or should I stop seeing him at all? I live with my aunt. We never stay out late. We just go to the show or howling and then come home and talk to the family, ' His mother and my aunt were
very good friends before we started

HOW TO TURN IN YOUR
Yo government is-now asking you to bring in your burnt.out electric light bulbs and fuses to official salvage collection sta‘tions established for this specific purpose throughout Indianapolis
and Marion County. These special salvage depots with official red, white and blue signs are conveniently located wherever electric
light bulbs are handled—as electric dealers, drug and grocery
stores, apartment buildings, factories, etc. : : The outside glass of the bulb may be broken away, but be sure ° to leave the inside glass stem with the wire. If you prefer, the entire
light bulb may be deposited.
A burnt-out light bulb or fuse may not seem like much *‘scrap” to you, but collectively they represent a source of many pounds of
vital brass and nickel. For instance,
1,000 old light bulb bases are
the equivalent for 40 compasses which could guide our fighting men
. through the jungles of Guadalcanal. Your help is needed now,

going together but now his mother says awful things about me and my family. Please advise me. CARROLL. » . 8 » Answer—You have no one but yourself to thank for this trouble. Girls who do not want disapproval cannot afford to break the hard and fast social rules of their class.
One of these rules is that a mar-| ried woman should not have dates! {§&
with another man.
You knew this, but could not
deny yourself the. pleasure of going out with -a young man before you were legally free to do so. Now you are faced with the consquences
of your self-indulgence and you feel|
mistreated. Since the people who are important to you and to the young man are so opposed to your conduct, the only sensible thing you can do is to stop seeing each other until your divorce is granted. If you expect people to approve of you, you will have to respect the social customs of your set. After the divorce, if you want to see each other, at least there will be no legal objections. While I do not believe that any mother should attempt to ‘choose her son’s friends, this woman deserves some, credit for sticking by a child who was not her own. If you had more respect for her good qualities, perhaps she would have more respect for yours in turn. A child marriage is a serious mistake for which you should not expect complete exoneration, even on grounds of your youth. Your task is to live it down and prove that you have learned something from the experience. This attitude will earn’ you more respect from people than you are receiving.

The new type custard powder is a mixture of dried egg yolks, dried skim milk, ‘vegetable shortening, artificial vanilla and salt. To prepare the custard, the cook first makes a paste from eight ounces of the powder and one-fourth pint of water. - Then she (or he). adds one and one-half pints of water and boils for two minutes. The result, says the government announcement, is a tasty pudding which is more than a dessert because it has enough food value to sustain a person for many hours. ” # ” THE NEW PUDDING is higher in nutritive value and can be kept longer than anything of the type previously known.

NUTRITION KNOWLEDGE IS HOME FRONT WEAPON
A Weekly Series of Articles on the Proper Feeding of Your Fam"ily presented by the Indianapolis Chapter of the American Red Cross and. the Marion County Office of Civilian Defense
The ay of nutrition is especially important in wartime. A knowledge of foods and
the healthful elements -they contain will help.
every housewife to plan meals, even under a rigid rationing program, which will keep her entire family healthy, happy and resistant to disease. We are rationing our food so that our fighting men and our allies may have the food they need to press forward to an early ‘Victory. Sometimes, we on the home front are going to lack something we want and are used to, in which case we must make other things’ do. A basic knowledge of nutrition will help us in planning our meals so that even though we lack certain things, we will know what to use in their place.
Malnutrition a Threat in Peace or War | Malnutrition is definitely a disease. As far
‘as your appetite is concerned you can be satis-
fied and well fed and still suffer from malnutrition. There are certain definite signs which are symptoms of malnutrition. These are— poor skin—dull hair, bad teeth, poor posture, dullness, unstable dispgsition, poor appetite,
underweight, lack of alertness, nervousness.
These warnings do not all appear at once, nor all in the same individual. Sometimes none appears for a long time. The surest way to avoid these symptoms and to assure ourselves that we are getting the proper things in our
. food for our bodily health, is to know the basic : laws of nutrition.
How This Problem Ca Be Faced Now
The homemakers of the nation must learn the simple laws of good nutrition. They must
. know what foods are essential to a well bal‘anced diet and why. They must learn how cooking affects these foods, ‘how packing them
can be done in the wisest way and the things children must be: fed for their best develop-
ment. Armed with knowledge, the homemaker
must put into practice what she knows in her own kitchen, in the schools, in the cafeterias
|| and lunch boxes of the workers; in hotels and
in preparation for mass feedings in case of disaster, Under rationing, more than ever be fore, it is necessary that, she know her food‘stuffs. She must learn how to substitute foods
in the diet of herself and. family with skill
‘and ingenuity. ‘She must know that if a cer-

Tests have won made showing how diet affects health. Two groups of children were fed the same diet with the exception that each child in Group A was given a quart of milk in addition to their regular diet, while Group B had the milk withheld. In one month, the children of Group A showed an advance over the children of Group B in growth, ‘general health and alertness,
Foods Not the Whole Answer
There are other elements necessary .for good nutrition and ‘health, In “fact, all the right food would not he sufficient without these other essential factors: ‘Good health
habits. These include regularity: of ‘meals,
regular elimination -of wastes, ‘regular habits of sleep and recreation. Plenty of water—at
_ least six glasses a day. Sleep—Regular amounts of sleep, sufficient for the person's age, weight
and activity. Fresh air—It is best in the open, but it also can be brought into the house at times. Exercise and recreation are the best ways to get the most benefit from it. Sunshine —The most vital of all: Natural benefits from sunshine may be supplemented by cod liver
. oil, or in other ways. Clothing—it should be
warm in winter and cool in summer. . If the body is too cold, much of the nourishment is wasted in just keeping warm. Medical and dental advice—It is necessary to be in good
. health and free from physical defects. In sick-
ness, special diets are needed as well as medi-
‘cal treatment. Many of the men rejected for
the army were found to become more health-
_ ful after dental work was. done.. Regular phy-
sical and dental examination are necessary for good: nutrition.
