Your Health in Wartime
Diet, Exercise, Rest, Help In Physical Efficiency
By DR. THOMAS D. MASTERS Times Special Writer
Maximum physical efficiency—which means the lack of obvious disease—is the. direct result of adequate nutrition, hygienically satis-
factory living conditions, physical and recreation, and certain simple
exercise or training, sufficient rest disciplines.
No more striking example of this fact is negded than to point out
the vastly improved physical state
our military forces and who were at the time of their induction considered to be Physically os The security & i of a nation is directly propor- j tional to its physical fitness. ¢ T h e medical concept of’ Daye changing. Until recently it meant the ‘lack of demonstrable. lk 7 defect or . ais ALL: meanthg is assuming a more c phel time’ character, and is hetter .de‘scribed as physical efficiency. ‘In the terms of physical strength and ‘endurance ‘and ‘of mental accomplishment, physical efficiency. is susceptible to measurement. -Réquirements of -physical fitness vary with the demands: and it is opvious that those of a piano player are not identical with of a piano mover. Neverthe less, the fundamentals are not #0 dissimilar as they might appear at first glance. It is a curious phenomenon that the bulk of the physical work in this world is done by those who participate least in those factors that are known to enhance physieal efficiency. Many now believe that the security of the world is
of most of the men who constitute
directly proportional to the success with which these factors are disseminated among those who do the world’s work. Increased production, both indystrial and agricultural, are certainly dependent upon increased. efficiency.
Attaining Efficiency
+. It is the preoccupation of others to provide - the - means whereby this goal may ‘be achieved. The medical sciences are lighting the way. The {ll effects of lack of self-control have long been recognized and treated medically. It is much mqre recently that medicine has placed the -proper emphasis. on the good effects of certain disciplines. Medicine has always employed rest and diversion as a means of treatment. Now it is apparent that. rest and recreation are essential to maximum efficiency. Hygienic living conditions -have been demanded to protect the public health and prevent disease, but only recently has a satisfactory environment been employed to heighten efficiency. It has been the work of this generation to show that nutri- - tional deficiencies result in debili\tation, that their correction is followed by rehabilitation and that a completely adequate diet
is essential to maximum efficiency.

Asked if the McNutt forces were supporting him, the senator replied: “The McNutt boys are not hostile and several of the head men are favorable.” (The senator in the past has been opposed by the MecNuit forces.)

the Army Emergency Relief fund.
Gloria Charleen Stratton is a happy, well-clothed baby—and she owes it all to the Army Emergency Relief fund.
Mer daddy, Pvt. General Stratton, was busy fighting for her future in North Africa when she arrived five months ago, so he’s never seen her. At home: here, her mother was trying to support herself and her mothersand make, arrangements for the new addition to the family all on a $50 a month allotment. Upon finding that she couldn't make ends meet, Mrs. Stratton called on Brig. Gen. Walter Drysdale, then stationed at Ft. Benjamin Harrison. He referred her to Capt. Elmer W. Sherwood, custodian of the A. E. R. fund at the fort. The next day, Mrs. Stratton had a $20 check with which to buy her baby’s clothes.
With the money, Mrs. Stratton bought dresses,” diapers, powder, baby oil, safety pins, slips, nightgowns and a bassinet. If the baby had - been a- boy, she planned to name it Elmer—after Capt. Sherwood. Mrs. Stratonycan's, say enough in praise of Army ‘Emergency Relief, “If it hadn’t been. for the fund,” she said yesterday, “I don’t know what I'd have done. It’s a grand thing.” Baby Stratton is one of thousands benefited. by A. E. R. Patrons of “This Is the Army,” to be pre-

gency Relief section caring for cases in central and northern Indiana. Applicants south of Marion county are cared for at Camp Atterbury. Financial assistance may be given
relief in kind. If the prospective income of the applicant is sufficient to permit repayment without undue hardship, a loan is made. Cash grants are preferable when the ability to repay a loan does not exist, or when it appears to be inadequate or uncertain. In cases where money is not a solution to the distress, relief in kind may be used. For example, if money is needed to pay medical or hospital expenses, thé A. E. R. will pay the bills instead of giving the applicant money. Col. James M. Churchill, commanding officer of Ft. Harrison, is president of the fund and on ‘the committee ‘promoting the “This Is the Army” premiiére. Since April 1942, his section has made 830 loans or grants totaling $32,000. Remember!” A ticket to the premiere may mean clothes for another baby like Gloria Stratton in addition of an evening of good enter-
tainment.

“In that case,” retorted Mr. McDonald, “I should think your answer would be no.” At this he was interrupted by board member Jerry Liddy, who jestingly inquired, “Whom do you represent, Roosevelt or Churchill?” “I'll have nothing to do with politics,” explained Mr. McDonald. “You simply can’t operate on 2a scientific basis that way. As. a. matter of fact I have spent $15,000 of my own money trying to help the government relieve its feed problem.” Mr, McDorlald ‘proposed that his agency supervise construction the feed layout ard use it experimenially for possibly nine months.
