Acidity and. Acidosis.

It is remarkable how fascinating a
new name in the morbid realm Is to the
inEospective layman. For example,
physicians have been estimating blood
pressure for so years or more, as rou-
tine practice, but the laity discovered
blood pressure" only 10 or IS years
ago and has been sorely afflicted by 1t
ever since. Surely it was not the doc
tors who suggested to the laity that
blood pressure" is a malady.
Another sterm that has had great
vogue with the unsophisticated lay pub
lie but is now losing its hold upon the
popular imagination is "neuritis." Ten
years ago this term was much favored
by folks who wished to be "up to date"
even in their complaints. A certain
Mrs. Malaprop suffered pangs twlnges
or threats of "neuritis" whenever she
craved a pick-me-up, or her customary
tonic" or "sedative," or whenever any
vulgar boor mentioned in her presence
such a common ailment as rheumatism.
And of course the nostrum boys were
keen to cater to Mrs. Malaprop's taste.
All the most vicious pain killers or
sense benumbing dopes added "neuritis''
to their category of complaints. and
some of our la-de-da doctors were sharp
enough to take the cue and develop
brisk trade in the treatment of spurious
"neuritis." But this fad, too, is passing;
make-believe "neurities' is waning in
popularity, perhaps because it became
so very common" Anyway, only the
veriest tyros in morbid tinkering now
affect "neuritis." Why, sometimes the
patient who complains of "neuritis"
really has it these day; though, curl
ously enough, the suspicion that the
trouble is neuritis is generally the last
thing that occurs to the mind OF an

nerve. 1t would be highly improper to
describe such a disease here, but 1t is
not amiss to say that no doctor can
make an honest diagnosis of ''neIritis"
that is here today and gone tomorrow
Perhaps "acidosis" Is the most popu-
lar fancy of the morbid minded at
present, Maybe we shouldn't mention
this at all, but there is evidently wide
spread confusion about acidity and
acidosis and great deal of unwise tri-
fling with the diet and medicines on the
part of people who really have nothing
the matter at all, and this column pur-
ports to help well folk keep well. SO
here's the lowdown about acidity and
acidosis.
Acidity refers to the proportion of
hydrochloric (muriatic) acid in the
normal gastric juice or to the excess OF
acid in that secretion in various dis
ease conditions, or to excessive propor-
tions of Tactic, butyric or other acids
formed when starches or sugars or Fats
ferment or decompose. All this acid1ty
is strictly confined to the stomach or
intestine, or maybe the gullet. In any
case it has nothing whatever to do with
the state of the blood or with the acid
base balance of the body generally.
Before the acid-base or acid alkali
balance of the body or of the blood can
deviate one way or another from the
normal state of health there must be
some disturbance of metabolism, some
change in the rate Of combustion. Such
disturbance bears no relation to the de-
gree of acidity in the stomach. Thus
it should be clear that there Is no sign
or symptom by which layman can
even suspect acidosis. So where do you
get that notion?

Your Baby and Mine
sY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

When our ancestors began to encase
their feet in concealing coverings their
foot troubles began. Ancient footgear
drove the foot to respond by putting
forth corns, bunions, calluses, in
grown toenails and all the various ills
to which mistreated feet are suscepti-
BILE. 1t would seem that 1t took long
time to impress people with the obvious
fact that the more unnatural the
shape of the shoe, the more quickly
the shape Of the foot itself was ruined.
The baby starts out with a pair OF
perfect feet, perhaps his most gener-
ally admired possession, for 1t is only
in babyhood that one ever sees perfect
feet. His chances for holding onto
this perfection diminish as soon as he
is old enough to walk and TO wear
shoes.
Feet may be ruined even earlier by
the use of sl1runken booteeS and woolen
hose, for 1t takes very little pressure
to push the bones Of the feet out Of
their natural position, the babys feet
even up to the age OF walking and
creeping still being in the cartilage
nous stage.
The baby, when allowed to walk
barefooted. keeps the toes pointed
straight ahead and grips his f1ve toes
firmly IN an effort to keep his balance.
II he is put into shoes, chosen like a
crutch in order to support" the feet,
the child can no longer use his foot
in a natural manner, but must "clump"
about. How hard we do make walking
for these poor mites!
The first shoe can be a soft moe
casin which protects the sole and gives
baby perfect freedom of movement.
The shoes for walking should have such
flexible soles that they in no way re-
strict the action of the foot, should be
at least one inch longer than the foot
and be shaped to the foot itself. Laced
shoes are better than button ones, be-
cause they can be adjusted over di1er-
ent weight hose. They should be laced
only snugly enough to hold the shoe In
place on the foot.
For, the baby to toe in slightly when
walking is natural. He thus achieves
better balance. Unless this Is extreme
ly exaggerated, it can 60 uncorrected.
II the toes tend to point out, that
Is another matter and sometimes "a
lift" put lengthwise of the inner half
of the sole will help the child to point
the toes straight ahead when walking.
Too short shoes will compel the child
to walk or run on his toes. It is a
splendid idea to watch the child's
shoes carefully. They are outgrown
almost always before they are worn out,
and there Is a real danger in viewing
baby's need for a new pair of shoes
entirely from this latter standpoint 1t
is better to have only one pair, and
replace them often, than, to put good
shoes away In the drawer and then. In
mistaken economy let the child wear
them, even though they have grown
too short or too narrow.

It is characteristic of the present

in fabric and color, but fairly simple.
They express the elegance mingled with
that new note of casualneSS that is so

but with well-bred restraint and not
too spectacular.
