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.

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.

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

God and Our Rights
Lesson for BTay 21, 1956
C IVIL RIGHTS are now a politi

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

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?
