KEEPING HEALTHY | k III Effects of Underfeeding By Dr. James W. Barton t - K T THE TIME the “boyish” fig- ure was popular with young women, Florenz Ziegfeld was per suaded to use “slim” girls in his stage productions. After one year’s trial, he went back to his former type of girls; they had more curves, and curves were more attractive to audiences. However, it was not only au dience reaction that influenced him to return to the more girl ish figures. The slim girls, be cause they had so greatly re duced their weight just at the time when nature meant them to be at least of normal weight or slightly over normal weight, suffered a loss of health, loss of . buoyancy of the body and lack of bister in the eyes. Further, the attempt to acquire a boyish figure by losing weight was the cause of many cases of tubercu- tosis, our lung specialists stating that they were fighting a winning battle against tuberculosis in every 'age group except teen-age girls and adult young women. That underfeeding is dangerous Ms HEALTH NOTES The average physician does not take headache seriously enough, considering its depressing effect upon the mind and body of the patient. • • • Just why so many people are will- tag to wear glasses to Improve their tyesight and tmwilling to use aids to improve their hearing is hard to mderstand- Cutting the window out of the healthy cornea and transplanting it to a similarly cut hole in the cornea of the patient’s damaged eye may be done in 20 minutes. • • • Focal or systematic infection causes such symptoms as physical fatigue, lack of energy, general tiredness, drowsiness, weakness and exhaustion. New Chemicals Make Plants Insect-Proof Federal Entomologists In Experimental Study New chemicals that make plants toxic to insects for short periods are being tested by scientists of the U.S. department of agricul ture. These chemicals kill insects that suck the juices of treated plants. They are known to the en tomologists as “systemic poisons” and should not be used by the pub lic until further tests have been made. Studies now are in progress to determine if these insecticidal chemicals will break down into harmless compounds within a few days or weeks. If they do, a new Should you choose the job that interests you most? Answer: Not necessarily, says Dr. Edward K. Strong, Jr., voca tional guidance expert. The work in which you’re most interested is a better index of your personality than of your aptitudes. Being in terested in doing something which you think will bring you fame and fortune does not mean you’re suited to it. And both interest and ability may be blocked by inhibi tions. However much talent you have, there is no use trying to be an entertainer if you're so self- conscious that you cannot face an audience without paralyzing stage- fright. to the general health and particular ly to some important glands is stated in an editorial in “The Jour nal of the American Medical As sociation.” The investigation of the effects of cutting down on the food intake, which decreases the energy of the body, has been going on in various laboratories. Increase in body weight is prevented under these condi tions bat the bones—the body’s foundation—continue to grow. Lack of food or cutting down greatly on the food intake af fects the individual mentally, physically and emotionally. A recent report of the influence of low calory intake (under-feeding) • on the glands of the body shows that two groups of mice, one well fed and the other receiving only two- thirds as many calories, were ex amined for the activity of the ad renal glands. It was found that in order to prevent the damage done to the health of the body by under feeding, these glands became more active, produced more fighting juice. Clothes From Sacks With feed manufacturers vic ing with each other to create pleasing bag designs, rural America has the opportunity to turn these sacks into many glamorous garments. Here, Jackie Frehand, member of the Wanchese 4-H club on Roanoke Island, N. C., feeds chickens from one of the flowered feed bags, especially designed for re-use by customers. Summer Eggs Must Always Be Kept Cool, Odor-Free The poor quality of summer eggs is not the fault of the hbn. “Hot- weather” eggs, with their thin whites and flat, weak yolks cause many people to stop buying them. This waste could be prevented, top poultrymen say, if farmers would gather eggs at least three times a day in hot weather. All handlers of eggs need to keep them cool at all times, and away from odors.

Beef Herd Decision Problem in Com Belt Whether or not to have a beef herd is a long-time decision for the com belt farmer. Under average com belt condi tions, a cow can be credited for a 450 pound calf at weaning time. For instance, if you had a 30-cow beef herd on a com belt farm and a 90 per cent calf crop, you’d have 27 calves worth around $135 each. Or, at 30 cents per pound, a gross income of about $3,600. If four replacement heifers were kept back, there’d be 23 calves worth $3,100 and four cull cows, worth about $1,000, to sell. There would be a gross income of $4,100 to cover the cost of main taining a her<3 of 35 mature ani mals, including 30 cows, four heif ers and one bull, or about $117 per animal per year. If you used the average value of cows and calves over the past 15 years as a yardstick, your gross income would be about half of $4,100. Preserve the Strawberry T he strawberry season is all too short, especially if you like this handsome, red, luscious berry. However, while It's here, plan to put away some of the berries 'n the form of jam or preserves so you may enjoy them the year around. Strawber r i e s are rich in vita min C but should be eaten fresh to get maximum benefits from this nutrient. Short cooking time will avoid complete loss of the vitamin, as well as preserving the color and flavor. • • • The berries have an affinity with pineapple and rhubarb, and may be combined with them, as you will see in the recipes.

God and Our Rights Lesson for BTay 21, 1956 C IVIL RIGHTS are now a politi cal football in the United States. Every legislator likes to ba known as favoring them. Every body seems to be all out for rights for everybody. Then why isn’t everybody satis fied? The truth is, a lot of us just talk. When it comes down to po litical facts, the people who get their “rights” rec- Dr. ognized first are the people with the most votes. The little people, especially if they haven't too many votes, are likely to be stepped on. • • a Cannibal Country T HIS is NOT a new problem. Long ago the prophet Micah faced it, said some brave words about it He was a small-town man living in a village near the Judah- Philistine border line. Judah was 'at that time mostly rural. The villages were made up of farmers, who did not live on their farms as we do but lived all to gether for protection, going out Into the country by day to work their farms, coming back to the village at night None of them owned very much land, and few indeed were rich. There was just one big city In Judah, Jerusalem the capital. Compared with the rest of the country it was immense and enormously rich. Now it does not take two guesses to know how Jndah, as a nation, was run. Jerusalem ran it. The big city was growing richer and richer while the country grew poorer and poorer. <* * The small farmers were losing their lands and becoming tenanti or hired men (2:1-2). Micah even talks of the princes of Israel, th« aristocracy, as cannibals, eating the flesh of the people. * * * Half Slave, Half Free jurO COUNTRY is a good country, no country is in a healthy con dition, if one part of it is tearinf the other part down. If the strong are living off the weak, the whole nation grows weak. Micah saw that exactly; Indeed, he predicted that because of the kind of country it was, half oppressed and half op pressing, it would be destroyed. No enemy of his country, he did not enjoy forecasting its downfall. But he loved people, he loved his country neighbors; he could see what was happening to people who were being crushesd down into the dirt, he knew that couid not go on and on without a smash. (And it came!) This has been the story over and over again In the history of nations. When the few grow strong at the expense of the many, when wealth is concen trated in a few cities, or in a few individuals or families, look out! When this goes on for a long time and becomes a sort of national habit, the nation may not fall at once but becomes' a pushover for anybody who wants to take it. Why, for instance, was the downfall of the “Nationalists” in China so swift? It was because the Chinese people had become convinced that the political leaders and their wealthy backers were in it for what they could get out of it Why did so many Nationalist troops fail to fight, why did they surrender repeatedly without strik ing a blow? Because armies are made of common men, and the common man has been taking a beating too long. There Is very lit tle patriotism in a beaten man. • • • We Have Our Own Problems W E ARE FORTUNATE in that we live in more democratic tim.es and lands. It should never be forgotten that democracy is a fruit of the Jewish-Christian tradi tion which the prophet Micah helped to form. It was the prophets who plowed deeply the soil out of which democracy has grown. Many of the laws of our land are intended to keep the strong from eating up the weak. The farmer, the man out of work, the man with the small job, the man with the small business—they are protected under our government, whether in Canada or in the United States, as they never were in ancient Judah. To test whether we are treating others right, especially those who are weaker than ourselves, we need first to ask these basic ques tions: Do these people get their share of justice, and are we help ing them get- it? Do we treat them with mercy or do we only “use” them for our own benefit? (Copyright by the Intcrnatfomd council of Religious Education on behalf of 40 Protestant denominations. WNU Features.)
