DEFICIENCY DISEASES

There are a number of very seri-
Gus diseases that are known in the
medical world as deficiency diseases
or "avitaminises." because they re-
suit from a lack of vitamins in the
diet.
The most prevalent of the deic-
iency diseases are: l. Beri-Beri, dis
ease that is extremely common
among the rice eating orientals; 2,
scorbutus or scurvy. which is closely
associated with the continuous con-
sumption Of dried or canned foods
and a diet that lacks fresh fruits ana
vegetables; it is found among sailors
on a long ocean voyage, in beSieged
cities where tho food supply is cut
off. in time of famine and among
children fed upon canned milk or
fresh milk that has been pasteurized
for too long a time or at too high a
temperature: 3, ricketts,. which is the
result of diet for children which is
deficient in vitamin A, or in butter,
egg yolk and the leaf vegetables; 4.
pellagra. which is regarded as the
result of long continued vitamin star
walton.
Little is known about pellagra for
the reason that it does not attack the
lower animals and, as a consequence.
experimentation has been seriously
restricted. 1t is known that people
suffering from this disease have sub
sisted on a limited diet, verv defic-
lent in vitamins. which usually con-

Diet in Govt

Another disease in which the treat
ment is largely dietetie is govt, but
in this case overeating instead OF UNI
ACCOMPLISHMENT is apt to be the
cause. Luxurious living, eating too
much protein food, too little exer-
else. and indulgence in alcoholic bev-
erages very often bring the penalty
of govt, either acute or chronic.
Symptoms of govt include disturban-
ces of the digestive system, such as
gastric Indigestion. intestinal putre-
faction and constipation, but the
most constant in excess OF uric acid
in the blood, proving that this sub
stance is not being properly ellmlna-
ted. This condition may be overcome
by a diet that contains a minimum OF
a group of substances called purlns,
of which acid is one. These are
found in flesh foods of all kinds and
in some vegetables, and after being
taken into the system, almost all OF
the purins are converted into uric
acid in the body. All foods OF this
class must be avoided by the suf-
ferer from govt, as we'll as all foods
that disturb the individual digestion,
all foods that tend to induce intes-
final putrefaction and constipation
and all excess of total fat and OF
protein food.
The exact relation of uric acid to
govt is not fully understood, but
there is no doubt that too much of 1t
in the system will cause a equity con-
dition. and, as the taking of alcoholic
beverages tends to hinder the elm
ination of uric acid, they should be
excluded wherever there is a govt
tendency. This tendency is generally
thought to be transmissable by in
Reritance, so that often a man suf-
fers for the dietary sins of his an
testorS.
Diet for govt should be prescribed
for the individual by a physician.
but a general knowledge of the
foods that contain purins should be
valuable to everybody. Sweetbreads,
liver. kidney, sardines and anchOvies
are very rich in pmins and should be
entirely avoided by the sufferer from
govt. Beef, veal, mutton, pork.
chicken, turkey, goose, and other
kinds of game and fish. with the ex-
ception of cod. are fairly high in
purin contest and should be INDUCED
in only sparinglv Boiled meats
have less purin than roasted OF broil
ed ones as boiling removes part of
these substances. Among vegetables,
spinach, asparagus. peas and beans
contain the largest amounts of pu-
tin, though none Of them has as
much as meat Milk, cheese, eggs,
nuts. gelatin, fruits sugars bread
stuffs made with white flour. corn
starch, tapioca, farina. rice. potatoes
and other root vegetables. all kinds
of fat, and practically all green veg
etables, exceDt the ones noted above.
are practically free from purin, and
it is from these foods that tho diet
of the govt sufferer should be large
ly made up.
Alexandria gazette. [volume] (Alexandria, D.C.) 1834-1974, 1922-06-07

cakes, sauces. and gravies should be
omitted from the diet, and too much
hot bread, especially if eaten with g
sweet such as syrup or honey, is apt
to upset the digestion in hot weather.
Protein foods which are very heating
should be used in greater moderation
than when the weather is cold. A
good hot weather diet might consist
of very moderate allowance of lean
meat or its equivalent in eggs, milk,
cheese or some other meat substi-
tute; vegetables very simply cooked
or served as a salad with French
dressing. cream dressing, or little
vinegar and seasonings; fruits, cook
ed if there is any question as to their
ripeness and cold desserts, such as
those made of gelatin, cornstarch,
tapioca. or frozen milk of fruit juices
Frozen desserts. if eaten slowly at
the end of a meal, will not chill the
stomach unduly, but too many cold
drinks or frozen dishes between
meals are bad for anyone. Cold bev-
erages should never be drunk rapidly
when one is warm, as they may
cf use severe shock to the nerves OF
the stomach. g,
Another factor to be considered
concerning food in warm weather is
that bacteria increase far more rap
idly than when it is cold, and there
is consequently far more danger OF
having food spoil. Often, even IN the
ice box. unless it is perfectly con-
structed. there is danger, and all 1000
should be watched carefully. Espec-
it'll care should be taken of the protein
foods such as meat and milk.
In planning a menu for a hot day,
it should be remembered that too
great change in the diet should not
be made suddenly, and it is well to
include one hot dish in each meal I'M
til the stomach accustoms itself to
cold food.

fatal and that a serious relapse and
often death viii follow.
There was q time when typhoid
treatment consisted of giving the pa
tent practically no food at all,
which resulted in an extreme wasting
of the body tissues. great Weakness,
a long slow convalescence, and
ravenous appetite after the departure
of the fever which often resulted
in imprudent eating and death. Mod
ern science has devised a plan OF
feeding during fever which prevents
this extreme wasting OF the body, so
much 80 that there are actually cases
on record where the patient has gain
ed in weight during an attack OF ty-
phOid fever.
AS in all cases of fever, there is a
greater amount of energy expended
by the typhoid patient than bv a well
person on account of the heightened
temperature. The action of the bac-
terra that cause the disease also add
to this expenditure. In the early
stages of typhoid, the digestion IS apt
TO be so much upset that no food at
all can be taken, but this fever runs a
long course, and after the first
symptoms have subsidized the digestion
will probably improve at once and
the food demands of the body may
be almost if not fully met. If the
Improvement is such that this type of
feeding is possible, there is small
wasting of the tissues. and the dan
gers of exhaustion and slow conval-
escence are much lessened.
Of course. the diet in the early
stages must be fluid. and even in
the latter part of the illness liouid
or semi-liuui1 diet is necessary. The
choice of this diet must be left to
the physician in charge. and no one
else should take the responsibility Of
deciding what the tvnhoid patient
should eat even though she NAV be
familiar with the tees Of diet that
are given in other illnesses.

JAMAICA ON TRAIL
 OF ILLICIT BOOZE
 SHIPMENTS TO U. 5,
Island Called Policeman for Uncle Sam in Carib- bean; New Laws Are Stringent.

Kingston. Jamaica. Aug. 18-Pre- sumably under pressure of the Wash 1ngton government in it's effort to curb so far as possible the alleged smuggling of liquor from the British West Indies into the United States, the Jamaica government has become to all intents and purposes g. police man for Uncle Sam for this colony and its dependeicies the Cayman Islands and Turks Island.

 Excise Law Passed.
 The first move was to pass a law that all liquor shipped in bond whiskey and other spirits were always sent away under bond-is not to be given the drawback until a certificate of entry at the port of destination had been received here. Since the excise duty on whiskey, gin and other distilled spirits is very heavy this will put a stop to a great extent to the shipping of the spirit, as the shippers will be unable to get the rebate of duty unless they can prove that the goods were actually delivered at the ports for which they were destined on the ships manifest.

MEXICO SEES GREAT REVIVAL IN
 SILVER MINING
Old Mines Reworked TT ou g h ly De- nands for Silver Com ing from India and China.

Chihuahua City, Chihuahua, Med- co, Aug. 18-Silver mines are being operated in Mexico at good profit, it is said, with silver selling around TO cents an ounce.
 When silver is below 60 cents. mines in this country cannot be work ed at a profit, hardly worth while, as the usual thing, can be made. but when 1t reaches 70 a profit of around 10 cents an ounce is made. With silver selling at TO cents, or there abouts, consequently there is a~ big revival in the mining business of this country and especially in the state of Chihuahua which produces the prin- cipa1 part of Mexico's silver yield. Old mines are being re-worked thoroughly, and prospecting is going on in almost an unprecedented de- gree.

 was 175,eoo,ooo ounces, of whicf Mexico produced 39 per cent, an6 the United States 31 per cent More

 The government of Mexico, realiz

 High Export Tax Also.
 But the latest and severest move against shipping alcohol from this island is a new and prohibitive ex- port tax passed by the Legislative Council recently. It is so high that there is little hope of those engaged business with points from which the liquor would eventually find its way into the United States ;and it Is open iy charged that this new and drastic legislation has been passed at the direct request Of the Washington authorities.

Government does not deny that the legislation is an attempt to prevent liquor smuggling into the United States. The new legislation is bit ter1y resented, particularly by seamen on the large number of ships engaged in the banana trade between Jamaica and eastern American ports. Liquor by the hundreds of bottles was taken np weekly on many of these ships, as there was no legislation to prevent sailors purchasing liquor and taking 1t on board with them. Now they napnot do this unless they first pay heavy excise tax.

FIND TWO PHASES OF FATIGUE
Really Dangerous One Is Where the
Subject Is Not Really consclous
Of Being Tired.

Experiments carried out to test the
mental effects of loss Of sleep have re-
vealed the remarkable fact that there
are two distinct phases of fatigue.
The first Is one of stimulus, under
which work Is done rather better than
under normal conditions. Then fol-
lows phase of much longer duration
in which the body makes good it's
losses-a period characterized by gen.
eral loss of accuracy, power of con-
centratiOn and retentiveness. There
is, however, no sense of fatigue during
this phase-Quite the reverse.
What is called carelessness is often
due to this second stage of fatigue.
When man knows he is fatigued, he
naturally takes excessive precautions,
but when the second stage comes
along, he does not feel tired, and con-
sequently carelessness steps in.
Some of the famous workers of the
world seem to be able to work abnor-
mally long hours and live abnormally
long lives. Possibly their bodies sup
ply naturally a fatigue anti-toxin.
There Is fortune awaiting the
scientist who discovers an anti-toxin
