BUSY PHYSICIANS Every civilian physician is and has been very busy for many months, and with hospital labora tories also busy he often has had to wait some time for reports. In an endeavor to help his fellow phy sicians, many of whom "are carrying a killing load,” Dr. Walter C. Alvarez, Mayo Clinic, in the Journal of the Amer ican Medical Asso ciation, has some “diagnostic time- Dr. Barton savers for over worked physicians.” Among these “timesavers” are hints on recognizing functional illnesses. “Good signs of a neurosis are the inability of the patient to say what the main complaint is, a tendency to answer the physician’s questions with statements that have nothing to do with these questions, to com plain of little things, to break in and not let the physician finish a sen tence, to keep consulting a long writ ten list of symptoms, to tremble and weep as the story is told or tell the physician how to diagnose and treat the disease.” There are certain symptoms that practically always mean a neurosis. Symptoms such as jitteriness, the fear of not being able to get a deep breath, fluttering or burning in the abdomen, oft repeated belching, dis tress and bloating after eating or especially after drinking cold water or “pop,” attacks of pain and sore ness in lower abdomen, together with passage of mucus, distresses that come before breakfast, bloating that comes up during the day and disappears during the night without the i-issage of flatus (gas), and pains that persist even after several op erations. Dr. Alvarez points out that there are some of us who almost from childhood have had one illness after another without any cause that can be found. These illnesses are head ache, weak eyes, indigestion, con stipation, back-ache, sleeplessness and “aches and pains all over.’ “Poor nervous heredity and the con tractor’s having put in poor materi als are usually the best explanation for these symptoms.” Among the other “illnesses” men tioned by Dr. Alvarez as being caused by lack of nervous balance are nervous breakdown, extreme fa tigue, food allergy, migraine, stom ach and intestinal ulcer. ‘ Scabies Parasite May Attack Anyone One of the ideas we had as boys at high school was that any boy with blackheads or pimples could not be as clean about his body as he should be. If he would wash his skin with soap and water, and per haps use a skin brush, he would remove the blackheads from his “pores” and the skin oil would come out on the surface of the skin. To day we know that having pimples and blackheads is not a matter of cleanliness, but is caused by gland changes in the body which interfere with the proper use of certain kinds of foods, usually fats and starches. Fortunately, acne was not thought due to any lack of intelligence in these students with acne because their class standing was at least equal to that of the class average. In the army, in schools or other institutions, patients suffering with scabies (the itch) have usually be<" considered of low intelligence despite the fact that there were so many ex ceptions. In the British Lancet, Drs. K. Mellanby, A. L. Northedge and C. Johnson report the results of their investigations as to the intelligence of several hundred patients suffering with scabies. The results of this in vestigation showed that men with scabies were mentally a normal sam ple from the army. There was noth ing to suggest that the group suffer ing with scabies had a larger per centage with low intelligence than those not afflicted with scabies. “There was no significant differ ence in intelligence between men who reported themselves sick, those who were discovered during the reg ular or routine physical inspections, those with a few parasites or those with or without infection following an attack of scabies.”' From the above we learn that the parasite, the itch mite, the female of which buries itself under the skin, giving the appearance of scratches, makes no special choice as to its victims. The itching is due' to sub stances given off by the parasites and their eggs. e e e QUESTION BOX Q.—What causes excessive sweat ing of the hands? A.—Sweating of the hands is usual ly a sign of nervousness or emotion al disturbances. A single dose ol X-rays may correct condition toz months. Q.—What is meant by crepitation? A.—Crepitation is that crackling noise yon hear when there are ad hesions about a joint. Also hear it when bone is first broken. Often hear it in old rhenmatie conditions. Small Amount of Chicken Makes a Loaf (See Recipes Below) Little Makes Lots! There were several requisites for recipes which made today’s column and I think you’ll appreciate all of them. First, they must be easy on the budget; second, they must be easy on ration points; and third, they must be leftovers, but incog nito 1 All three are particularly timely because you have probably splurged during the holi days and want to take it easy on points and the budget now; and third, you may have leftovers that want things done with them but still won’t taste like left overs because you know how the family sniffs at them. So, here we go, first of all with leftover pieces from that holiday bird: ‘Chickan Noodle Loaf. (Sarves 8) to 1 cup diced cooked chicken 3 eggs, well beaten Vt pound noodles 3 tablespoons bntter or snbstitnte 3 tablespoons floor 2 cups milk % teaspoon salt 1 eup soft bread crumbs 1 teaspoon chopped onion 1 tablespoon chopped parsley 14 teaspoon pepper Cook noodles in boiling, salted wa ter until tender (2 quarts water, 1 teaspoon salt). Drain. Meanwhile, prepare white sauce of butter, flour and milk. Combine chicken, eggs, noodles, white sauce, crumbs and seasonings. Pour into a well-greased loaf pan 9 by 5 by 3 inches. Bake in m moderately slow (325-degree) oven until firm in center, about 1 hour. Let stand for about 8 minutes after removal from oven, then loos en around edges. Invert on hot plat ter. Slice to serve. If desired, serve with cheese, mushroom or vegetable sauce. Garnish with pickled pears and spiced prunes. Are there remainders of a veal roast still stand ing in the refrig erator? You can make a perfectly delicious chop suey from a few cupfuls of the V. roast meat: Veal Chop Suey. (Serves 6) 2 cups roast veal, cut In strips 2 sliced onions 1 cup green pepper, cut in strips 4 tablespoons melted shortening 1 teaspoon salt 14 teaspoon pepper 2 cups celery, cut in strips 2 cups sliced radishes 3 tablespoons cold water 2 tablespoons flour Hot cooked rice Cook veal, green pepper and on ions in shortening, in a large skillet for about 10 minutes, stirring fre quently. Add seasonings and celery. Cover and cook slowly for 5 minutes. Lynn Says Point Pointers: When you run low on stamps for processed foods, be sure to find fresh ones to substitute. To extend a proc essed food, use it with a fresh, seasonal food. Using foods that are grown near your own community helps the transportation problem, as well as your near-by grower. For children or invalids who use canned, pureed foods, extend by mixing with milk and cream. Use with purees of other vegeta bles and fruits. Leftovers can be combined with other foods to use them up; for example, leftover beets car be mixed with onion, vinegar and spices for relish or salad; left over corn may be combined with lima beans, carrots or peas.

Released by Western Newspaper Union, I Dismal Italy By Frank Gervasi (WNU Feature—Through snecial arrangement with Coilier’a Weekly) Already the words “sunny Italy” have for the American doughboys of this war the same hollow sound that “La Belle France” had for their fathers in the last one. In terms of rain, mud and misery, Italy has be come the France of this war— France, however, without Paris, for the only major city the Allies have captured thus far is Naples, a dark, sad city. The next big town on the road to victory, Rome, promises only more waterless water closets, and chil dren crying for biscuits and sour- balls, and black-market prices spiraling out of an inflation partly influenced by the arbitrary Allied pegging of the lira at one hundred to the dollar, and partly out of an ancient Italian aptitude for gypping foreigners. And nowhere from here to Rome and beyond, is there even a faint promise of a hot bath. Win and Go Home. Ever since they volunteered or were drafted, two thoughts have been uppermost in the minds of the men variously known as doughboys, doughfeet, jeeps, dogfaces and G.I. Joes. The first is to whip the pants off the Germans; and second, but not secondarily, to return home to double features, hamburgers, beer, baseball, girls, families, firesides, and Sunday clothes. A year in North Africa, Sicily, and more particular ly, Italy, has accentuated those American desires. That isn’t so completely trne amoag those more highly organ ized intellects known as officers. Among them, I have found many who believe that America’s respon sibilities go beyond mere victory. But it’s overwhelmingly true among the common soldiers (and 1 have talked with hundreds of them in and out of battle) in tbe militarily stag nant Middle East and on the active fronts in Italy. Here they ery, with -joe voice: “Let’s get it over with and let’s go home. Let’s leave Af rica to the Arabs, Sicily to the dagos and Italy to the wops.” Their state of mu'd is attributeule to the fact that, in the broader sense, they don’t know what they are fight ing for, and anything beyond the necessity of defeating Germany will be one for the gentlemen in striped pants to contend with when they gather around the green baize ta bles to draft plans for the postwar world. In even the most inarticulate Britons, I have found yearnings, however vague, for the creation of world order wherein there shall be peace and justice, and work for all people, so organized that opportu nities for tyrants again to raise their heads will be reduced to a safe mini mum. Britons Fight Professionally. Here on a front which is roughly half British and half American, it is possible to compare the British attitude toward war and its end, with the American. The British seem to understand war and to fight it almost daily and certainly profes sionally. They seem to know that war and politics are inseparable. The Americans fight much as they play football—intensely and enthusi astically, but with the sole idea of winning. There’s nothing gay about Americans in battle. They fight dutifully, doggedly, bravely, but ani mated solely by the desire to win. The Englishman knows he’s not going to find the same old England when he returns to Limehouse and Leicester Square, and he’s not at all sorry, but rather glad. The Amer ican doesn’t want anything changed. To him social progress or change of any kind is synonymous with Communism, and he wants no part of Communism, preferring, as one doughboy put it, as he stood in the blood and muck of the battlefield after he had crossed the Volturno: “At least, under our way, every guy got the same chance of being Presi dent. Yeah, sure, it’s dog eat dog, but you’ve got an even chance of being the dog that wins.” None of this is cabled in the spirit of viewing with alarm, but merely to set down wbat constitutes a major problem confronting tbe architects of peace, a problem which Is draw ing closer now with every hard- earned mile of conquered or liberat ed Europe. The problem is simply what to do about “1 wanna go home.” The mentality of the American sol dier and how to fit what that state of mind implies—isolationism—into, for example, the Willkie world is the problem. Unfortunately, although the defeat of Germany is assured, Doughfoot or Dogface won’t be able to go home as soon as he would like or, worse still, as quickly as citizens in the United States widely believe. The fall of Rome doesn't mean that Italy has been conquered. There is the prospect of a long, hard winter fight, and only the disintegration of Germany, like a flywheel gone wild, will bring victory early in 1944.
