bables. One OF the great difficulties about bring-
ing up babies is that mothers are told SO many
things that are not true. The friends who give
the advice are sincere, of course, but many times
they have permitted tradition to displace com
mon sense.
However, this young mother has asked specif-
ically about epilepsy. She said she had a visi-
tor, a girl of about fourteen, who had suddenly
fallen into a fit. 1t was the first time my CORE
s~pondent had ever witnessed an attack Of this
sort and, Of course, she was much disturbed by il.
Fortunately, epilepsy is not a common all
ment, but when il does appear il has certain
definite symptoms. Usually the victim has warn
ing of what is to happen. He utters a loud
scream or terrible groan.

In girls and women there may be
a certain periodicity about the at

focal infection. Abcessed teeth
or tonsils, a diseased gall bladder,

Adjustment Of
Diet is Needed
U. S. Public Health Service
Issues Statement.

BY U. Sc Public Health Service
Washington, June Is Rl-The
man who essays Is to IS holes of
golf in a broiling sun Immediately
after eating a heavy meal is taking
a health hazard that is fairly certain
TO give him a vitality score below
par and occasionally has fatal con-
sequences.
He is one of many who still neg
lcct to make one of the most I'M
portant adjustments needed with the
advent of hot weather-the selection
of a. suitabl diet. Happiness, eff
cheney and vitality can be increased
in the summer, Public Health SER
vice Investigators have learned. by
reducing judiciously the fuel intake
of the body.
In general the diet should consist
of more vegetables and fruits and
less meats and other heavy. heat
producing articles of food. Each OF
the two principal meals should IN
clude not less than two green Vege-
tables. Oranges, lemons, pueapples
and other fruits can be made the
basis for many healthful and re-
treshing hot weather preparations.
Milk is an ideal year round food.
Many people do not drink sufficient
water. NAt least eight glasses day
are recommended.
After adjusting the diet, one can
safely increase the amount OF exer-
else taken. thus deriving full bene-
fit from the outdoor season. A rest
period should follow the heavier
meals and only a light meal. II any,
should precede strenuous exercise.
While increasing exercise. the
amount of clothing can be decreas-
ed, depending of course, on the tenn
perature. The adjustment OF diet to
hot weather needs applies to child
rem as well as adults. and special
vigilance should be exercised to see
that the growing child Is properly
nourished.
