Answer: Any time . baby's legs

able to be symptom Of some dan.
gerous spinal irrits.tion, such - in
fantile paralysis or cerebrospinal
meningitis. Some symptoms in a
baby should be immediately reported
to your doctor who can best tell you
what to do.
Question: Mrs. ]. askss care
there any fruits which do not contain
acid? If all contain acid, does cook
ing destroy It.? I would like to eat
fruits but cannot If they contain acid,
30 I am very DESTROYS Of knowing
which fruits do not contain acid,
either cooked or uncooked."
Answer: Fruit acids are changed
somewhat by cooking. Also, dried
fruits have less acid than when
fresh. MANY people are afraid Of u.s.
ing fruit because Of the acid, but
could do so if they understood how
to use the fruits properly. It is
better to use only the stewed fruits
with meals, and take fresh fruits by
themselves, making m entire meal
Of one kind Of fruit. Practically all
fruits contain some acid, but because
Of their effect upon increasing the
floy Of bile, their final reaction in
the body is alkaline. If you have
over-acidity Of the stomach, you will
find that a fruit fast Of few days
will greatly benefit you.
Question: Alice asks SWhat IL
the cause and cure Of low blood
pressure? What are the different
stages and effects Of symptoms ?"
Answer: When q person has low
blood pressure it simply means that
he or she is enervated, and that the
bodily tissues lack tone. There is a
general weakness felt, and q lessen
ing Of all functions. The cure is to
cultivate strength. This is accom-
plished by dieting carefully and ex-
ercisin1 vigorously.

Senator Fred Golfer, militant
anti-Boulder leader, pointed out
the engineers report on the dang
