True 'Acidosis’ Very Rare; Usually Is Wrong Diagnosis

in War-Time

By DR. THOMAS D. MASTERS

The condition of “acidosis” or excess acid in the body is a common explanation of hundreds of ills, with which the process has no concern. Actually the balance maintained by the body between acid and

a'kall is extremely constant.

Anxiety over an ‘acid condition” is

equivalent to worrying about the results of drinking an extra glass

of water. This balance between acid and alkali is but one of several physiological equilibriums of the body. The intake and output of fluid,

the carbon-di-oxide and the kidneys eliminate the water. During its stay in the blood, this acid aids in the regulation of breathing. The utilization of proteins results in the liberation of amino-acids, and these acids are used by the body in building muscle and repairing tissue.

Produced by Activity

Muscular activity is a function in which several acids are con- | cerned. One of the lend-products | of muscular activity is lactic acid. Large quantities of hydrochloric acid are manufactured by the glands in the stomach wall, and emptied into the stomach, where it aids in the digestion of food. Uric acid is present in the blood in a state of health, but only in real cases of gout is its concentration increased. The incomplete utilization of fats, as it occurs in uncontrolled

diabetes, may bring about the accumulation of fatty acids to a degree that causes intense poisoning, resulting in diabetic coma.

Control Is Efficient

But this condition does not appear under ordinary circumstances, and diabetics can prevent it with insulin. The chemical control of the body is so efficient that diets leaving a strong acid or alkali ash cannot alter the reaction of the blood or tissues beyond the normal and very restricted levels through which it may fluctuate, The blood is always slightly alkaline, and even the slightest acid reaction is incompatible with life. The urine, however, varies from acid to alkaline, because it carries out of the body any excess that might disturb the balance of the blood.

Acids Essential

After a meal, the urine is alkaline; at other times it may be

| and usually is, moderately acid.

Acids are essential constituents of the chemical reactions that make up life. and are not antagonistic to perfect health. The frequent use of “alkalinizers” with which so many people dose themselves is a far greater threat to health than the bogey of acidosis. Long-continued use of alkaline medicines may cause {irreparable kidney damage, and may mask symptoms of troubles that must be treated with knowledge of their true cause.

the water. The rescued persons were Ray Reim, 27, Goshen, driver of the boat; Mrs. Reim; Earl Markham, 32, Goshen; Robert Yoder, 9, Goshen; Betty Yoder, 13, Goshen; Barbara Castetter, 13, Rome, N. Y.; Betty Radkey, 20, Goshen, and Doris Radkey, 22, Goshen. Vacationers in motorboats and sailboats and about 100 swimmers joined state police today in searching the cold, choppy lake waters for the bodies of the other drowned persons. Storm Gave No Warning

The storm, coming up without warning across the lake, brought waves of unprecedented height. According to Cpl. Ed Raholin of the state police, the party was returning from a cottage, rented by Sgt. Burkholder and Mr. Conklin across the lake, when a high wave tossed one of the girls who was sitting on the front end of the boat into the water. Turning around to pick up the floundering girl, the boat was caught in the trough of the waves and upset near a big sailboat, anchored in the water. Five persons clung to the sailboat and other tried to swim to shore.

Saw Four in Water

According to Miss Niesse, a summer resident at the lake, she and Miss Casey were watching from shore when they saw four people in the water. The two girls immediately rowed out in the lake where they found a man holding up three small children, hanging onto a cushion from the speed boat as a life preserver. They lifted the smallest boy and girl into the boat and towed the man and the older girl to shore. Miss Niesse said they saw no one else in the water at that time.

Both Good Swimmers

“We just had to go out,” she said, “or we knew they'd probably drown. So we breezed right out, We're both good swimmers and it didn’t bother us. “It was still raining hard. The waves were the worst I've ever seen here, and 1've been coming here 10 years.” Miss Niesse explained that they brought to shore the girl who had first fallen in the water, Miss Castetter. “She was pretty badly shocked,” Miss Niesse explained, “and we applied artificial respiration to bring her around.”

Searched With Spotlight

Mr. Niesse and his daughter and Miss Casey spent most of last night in their speed boat searching the lake with spotlights for the bodies. The gale cut off lights in hotels and cottages, wrecked boathouses, uprooted piers, toppled trees and unroofed small farm buildings in the lake area. The two Indianapolis victims were among a group of six local young women who were vacationing at the lake. Two of the girls, Betty Baker, 1211 Comer ave., and Toni Scheller, 2729 Napoleon st. returned home last week-end. Still at the lake with Miss Beckerich and Miss Rush were Miss Mary Margaret Jones, 3538 Washington blvd, and Miss Mary Jo Bixler, 2174 Station st.

that Rome be spared in the name of human dignity and Christian civilization.” Despite his appeals, the Pope said, Rome was raided and “one of the most noted of the Roman basilicas, the San Lorenzo Qutside the Walls,” was almost completely destroyed. “Therefore,” he said, ‘we deem it our duty once more to raise our voice in defense of the priceless treasures that constitute the ornament of human and Christian grandeur. . :? Official British sources made no immediate comment on the Pope's letter. It is possible that Prime Minister Churchill or Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden will make the government's answer in commons. (Official United States sources also remained silent.) However, both Churchill and Eden

in the past have asserted that no intervention from any source will stop the allies from bombing Rome as frequently as they deem necessary in pursuit of the war, London morning newspapers gen=

eraly printed the text of the Pope's letter on the front or back pages, but only the Daily Mirror commented editorially. “The latter was guardedly written,” the Mirror said, “but the tone throughout was against the allies. . . . He makes no reference to the great marshalling (railway) yards which our bombers destroyed, but clearly thinks that Rome, despite its military importance should be regarded as sacred. . . . “The damage done to the cathedrals of Canterbury and Exeter is utterly ignored.” Londoners also recalled that St. Paul's cathedral and Westminster Abbey, sacred to the Church of England, were amor.g the scores of English churches damaged during German raids on Britain, in which Italian fliers, according to Mussolini, were given the “privilege” of

participating. Lambeth palace, tha residence of the Archbishop of Canterbury, also was damaged. The Swiss newspaper Basler Nachrichten editorially commented that “even the layman is aware that Rome is an important military center.”

“It certainly is regrettable thas San Lorenzo Cathedral was dee stroyed,” the newspaper said. “This, however, is no miracle, but the fact that only one of Rome's 400 churches was struck certainly is.” Radio Algiers said that recone naissance photographs of Roma yesterday showed that 10 fires still were burning in the Littorio mare shalling yards and others still burn ing in the San Lorenzo railway yard, more than 48 hours after the raid. A German broadcast said that 100 to 200 bodies already had opeen taken from the San Lorenzo dise trict with many others believed still buried beneath the debris.
