DIET AND HEALTH
BY LULU HUNT PETERS, M. D.

and milk Is high In all the vitamins.
The greens and milk are especially high
in vitamin A.
Gallstones-For gladstone formation
1t has generally been held that some
infection is the primary cause, for quite
frequently there have been found germs
In the nuclei Of the stones. With our
newer knowledge Of nutrition we know
that the integrity Of the mucous men,
branes (and all the organs) Is depend
ent upon balanced diet, and that 1t
Is only when the resistance Is lowered
by a prolonged wrong diet that infec-
ton takes place. Thus the germs are
the secondary factor rather than the
primary.
Gladstone victims are overweight in
the majority of cases, or they have
been overweight. There are two fac
tors causing this: First, the overeating
which causes the overweight in turn
over-saturated with the bile salts;
normal in certain amounts in the blood
and bile and tissues-is often greatly
increased in the overweight. This
cholesterol can crystalline and does
crystalline frequently. for most all gall
stones are composed Of pure cholesterol
Second, there IS stagnation, for those
who are overweight as rule take very
few Of the exercises Of the trunk
muscles which bring into play the liver
and gall bladder, and cause them to
keep their contents moving.

Self-Appreciation.

There is a difference between con-
ceit and Self-appreciation Conceit
makes a boy do silly things to show
off. Self-appreciation will keep him
from doing such things because they
would lower the lads sense of self-love.
firmly believe in teaching boy
to think too well of himself to do
things that are not right, to consider it
beneath him to be bad-managed
selfish, a poor sport in any field. That
means I would teach him that good
clothes-aS good as he can get without
eXtravagance-clean shoes, neat col
lars and natty ties belong to his ideal
of himself as a clean-cut gentleman.
No boy Is born finished character
He must grow throughout a lifetime
toward that coveted goal, gentleman.
That sort Of growth requires an ideal,
standard, easily attained in the start
when his ideas are vague and his ac-
tons indefinite and wavering. 1t is
easy to begin with the physical side Of
life always. Endow that with beauty,
instill a personal pride in attaining
that beauty, and you have set a sound
foundation for spiritual growth to
come.
Teach a boy first to be very clean
about his person, from toe nails to
tufted crown. Teach him to take pride
in his body, to grow 1t to health and
strength, to train it to grace and
power, and to keep 1t always in beauti-
full form.

Food and Exercise.

The writer said there are sermons IN
stones and good in everything. 1t Is
obvious he had no reference to kidney
and gall stones, though no doubt he
knew of them, for as far back as we
have records Of medical history 1t
was known that stones could be formed
In the human body. So they nave
probably always been an afhiction OF
the human race.
The gall bladder, kidneys and blad-
der are the most frequent seats OF stone
formation, but the pancreas and the
intestines and other organs sometimes
harbor them.
What causes stones? Is there q
hereditary tendency? Any particular
type of physique more prone 10 tnen
formation? I find no tntimation IN the
medical literature of any hereditary
influence, but it has been noted that
the gall stone victims have been, or
are, very frequently overweight. so
this particular physique, II 1t can De
called that, Is under suspicion.
Now here's our sermon on stones,
and it'll be on the prevention OF them:
About 10 years ago Osborne and
Mendel noticed that the rats used In
their experimental work which had
been fed on diets lacking in the fat
soluble vitamin A were frequently found
to have stones in various parts of the
urinary tract. These experiments have
been verified in the nutrition labora-
tories Of Japan by Fujikami. He no
ticed that rats fed on vitamin A de-
flcient diet for a long time would first
develop bladder stones, then kidney
stones, and bile stones last Of all. It
is believed that the general debility
or lowered vitality caused by the de-
flcient diet permitted an invasion Of
bacteria. These caused a decomposi-
ton with deposit Of the salts which
formed the stones. And 1t was also
found that some of the stones would
dissolve when the diet was corrected.
Whether this would be true in man or
not, we do not know, but we are sure
that stones too large to pass through
the ducts Of the organs have to have
operative removal. The common idea
that olive oil will dissolve gallstones Is
not true. Little masses which look like
stones will be passed after taking large
amounts Of any oil, but these are
simply soap concretions made by the
alkaline bile and the oil. You can de-
termine this by melting them. (Stones
do not melt)
In view of the experiments showing
| the lack of vitamin A also as a cause
of stones, it is worth noticing that a
non-acid forming diet Zone containing
preponderance Of potatoes and other
| vegetables Especially greens and fruits

Pain.

Pain.
Pain is a blessing. It makes pleasure
possible. More than that, it makes
society possible. We could never know
what pleasure Is If we Ahad not the
capacity to suffer. Pleasure and pain,
these are but the universal oppositeS
out of which the whole fabric of mental
life is constructed, personal and social.
Every mental state has its physical
symptoms. In the case Of pain these
are well understood. So well are they
understood that the more sensitive Of
the human race actually feel more or
less keenly the pain which they observe
in the physical reactions Of those who
suffer. This fact tells us what real
sympathy means, what the bonds Of
fellowship are or ought to be. This
human tie seems to be Unborn. One
need not have experienced a particular
In fact, it takes lot of training to out
educate this natural bond, as every
dentist will confess.
The physical contortions incident to
pain have meaning all their own, as
q recent French Savant has discovered.
The contortions of the face, the jerk
1ngs and feelings of the limbs, according
to DR.. Dumas, act as a sort OF natural
hnesthetic.
Why does slightly too-hot bath seem
not so hot If you wriggle vigorously in
It? Is it increased circulation alone
due to clapping the hands on a cold
Winter morning that makes the low
temperature tolerable? According to
DR.. Dumas, movement alone is at least
an important factor in the alienation
bf pain.
The reason why muscular activity is
kn anesthetic to pain is not clear. Our
eavant falls back upon what appears
TO be valid theory. He submits that
the cortical area Cthe gray NATTER of
the brain vibrates with every movement
of the other bodily parts. This in some
unknown fashion affects our conscious
ness or awareness Of the pain. It Is
said that the great mathematician Pas
cal went to work on a good, hard prob
lem In mathematics whenever he hao

theory have any connection, perhaps

BIZ DONALD A. CRAIG.

August 20, 1894 serious quarrel
between soldiers on the way from this
city to Join Gen. Sheridan's command
and members of the Veteran Reserve
Corps, resulting in the death Of two
mer, occurred today at Beltsville, Md.
h train left the railroad depot here
this morning with about 500 soldiers OF
army at Harpers Ferry. They were
going over the Baltimore & Ohio Rail
road by way Of Baltimore. While at
BeltSville, where q detachment Of the
Veteran Reserve Corps Is on duty, the
train was switched off. The soldiers on
the train, while waiting for it to pro-
coed, amused themselves by throwing
apples at the Veteran Reserve Guard
and calling them such names as home
guards afraid to fight"
The men Of the guard became trrt-
tated and sergeant named Porter, who
was in charge of the veterans, picked
up o musket and fired upon the train.
He wounded one soldier slightly and
killed another, whose name is variouSly
reported to have been Joseph Laughlin
Of the 18th Vermont and John Nc
Loflin Of the 18th Vermont.
Immediately the soldiers climbed of
the train and proceeded to beat Sergt.
Porter In O terrible manner. They de-
clared that the slain man had not
thrown any apples or used any epithets
against the Veteran Guard. After being
beaten the sergeant was taken to tree,
allowed three minutes to say his prayers
and was then bayonetted to death.
The members Of the Veteran Guard
were unable to render Sergt. Porter any
assistance, as they were greatly outnum-
bered by the soldiers on the train. Some
of the guard tried to induce the soldiers
tn toka p0rfnr IN Ra1tinoora opd turn
him over to the proper military authori-
ties for trial, but the inf1amed soldiers
would not listen, and perferred to take
the law into their own hands.
It is understood that Sergt. Porter
belonged to Company D, 18th Veteran
Reserve Corps. He was to have been
honorably discharged from the service
today. his period Of enlistment having
expired.

CONSERVATION OF YOUTH

Conservation, as it is generally understood, means the
preservation of our natural resources-the careful use of our
game and fish, of our forests, lakes and streams so that the
coming generations may enjoy these blessings in the same
measure that We are privileged to.
/ is a generous principle, that reveals the highest type
Of citizenship in the men anG women who work for its pro-
motion.
But the conservation principle should not be confined
to game, fish and such. We have other natural resources far
more precious, whose conse rvation is of far more import
ance-the conservation of our youth.
This term, Conservation of Youth was brought out
in a program set forth by the national department of the Am
erican Legion, in which the organization advocated the SUI
play may be conducted along worth while systems that will
give them a better Understanding Of clean sportsmanship,
wholesome living and fal play.
Recreation is a vital part of every boys or girls life.
They demand it and are entitled to it. Too often, however,
recreation leads to idleness and to mischief when youngsters
are left to their own devices. Play when guided along pro-
per channels, is more attractive to the children, will have a
Better influence on their health and department and elimin-
ate the dangerous pitfalls.
There is no question but what something OF that order
is needed in this vicinity.
Two projects sponsored by the local post of the Amer
can Legion are in keeping with the national departments
Conservation Of Youth program. One is the organization
of a kid nine to be a unit of a league similarly sponsored
in Scobey, Culbertson, Medicine Lake and other towns of
his region where American Legion posts are working out a
similar program.
The other proposition is the promotion of a playground
1roject where children of the community may meet and en-
'oy wholesome recreation under the supervision Of compe-
tent older people.
The worthwhile features of both of these projects are
readily apparent and need little elaboration. 1t is sufficient
, say that the local Legion post is worthy OF the co-opera-
ion it asks from the community in making these two worthy
enterprises q realization and a success.
