DIET AND HEALTH
BY DIR. Logan Clendening-

STAYS on the diet for some
time. If no asthma or hives
appear during that period it
may be assumed that they were
caused by foods not in the
diet. Other foods are then
cautiously added to the diet.
When the offending food is
added the symptoms should
appear. The villain is then un-
masked. and can forever be
avoided.
Let us see how one Of these
diets works in practice. Sew
eral of them we're given l. the
article yesterday. We will
choose Diet No. 2.
Cereal: Corn, tapioca; bread;
corn pone; meat or fish; bacon,
chicken; vegetables: squash,
asparagus, peas, artichokes;
fruits and jams and fruit
drinks: pineapple, apricot,
pruneS; miscellaneous: sugar,
olive or corn oil, salt, corn
syrup.
It will be noticed that all
classes of food are represented
cereals, bread, vegetables,
meats and fish, fruits and con-
dimentS. So a reasonable
variety is possible.
An Important Warning
One important warning is
necessary. The patient must
get enough to eat. Sugar never
gives allergic symptoms and
olive or corn oil seldom does.
So here we have a carbo-
hydrate and a fat-botk good
energy producers and both
should be eaten in sufficient
amounts to prevent weakness
or loss of weight.
The olive oil should be substi-
tuted for butter in cooking the
foods.
Well, for breakfast you can
have sliced apricots or pine
apple; corn meal mush; a
crisp slice Of bacon. For lunch:
Chicken, peas, corn pone, arti-
choke salad with French dress
ing (using corn OLD and apri-
cot preserves. For supper:
Chicken broth, chicken and
bacon, hominy grits, asparagus.
fruit salad of apricots, pine
apple and artichoke, and prunes
for dessert with sugar.

all could do to creep back to
my ward.
Sick at Heart
I slept sound that night, worn
sore, heart sick, broken in body
and in spirit-still I slept, and
I was thankful for the work
that had tired me out.
At 4:30 in the morning I was
awakened; they gave us 10 min.
utes for breakfast, but I worked
two hours and o half every
morning before I got that break
fast.
We had either hominy, rice, or
beans for breakfast, and always
the same gray, muddy drink,
which it would be flattery to
call coffee.
The food at Patton is dis
tinctly bad.
Perhaps the other inmates
had some attention from phySi-
clans while they were there.
This cannot say, but for my
self I do know that the only
time saw a doctor in all the
eight months that was in Pat
ton was the day I was ad-
mitted and the day I was dis
charged-aS cured.
MOnOtOny Of Time
The time dragged on, with
terrible monotony.
There was no time for me
to read in the day time; 1
could not talk to any Of my
poor dazed companions, and
in the evening as soon as the
sun set I was put in my cell
in the pitch dark.
I hit upon the plan of try

that I told myself would mean
to me one day.
I had eight of those strange
days to wait, eight months to
pray and hope and wonder
about my mother, and my hus-
band, and the good friends
who lived out in the real world,
the world where people laughed
and talked and went in and
out, like free creatures.
No one word did I hear from
one human soul.
Every Sunday I hoped some
one would come to see me
but no one ever came.
1 couldn't understand it, my
mother, so faithful and true,
I couldn't believe that she had
deserted me at last.
OF course I couldn't blame
her If she had.

Time and again I had fooled
her, betrayed her, insulted ana

strange if she had made up her
mind never to see me again.
But somehow it didn't seem like
Mother to do that. and 1t
wasn't like her. I afterward
found that she had been to see
me time and again, but the
people in the office told her
that it was best for her not to
see me. must take the cure

Suppose a person who has
frequent attacks Of hives or at
tacks of asthma decides that
these attacks are due to sensi.
tization to some sort Of food
he eats. He does not know
what food it is and wants to
find out for certain. How does
he go about it?
The doctors who specialize
in this kind of work usually
do it by skin tests. 1t was
found that in people who are
sensitive to foods the skin will
give an inflammatory reaction
if the offending substance is
scratched into the skin. These
skin tests are, however. long
drawn out and necessarily ex-
pensive. They are also, as has
lately been suggested, not al

One gray and sodden morn
ing the head woman attendant
came to my cell. There was .
CLEAN in her eye-I had become
skilled in the reading Of moods
in Patton, and I knew that
gleam was not one Of friendship
or encouragement.

tendant, you're going to work;
you've got to work here. You

something to do that would take

even If the human beings were
only poor. dazed creatures, half
dead in the body and more than
half da7ed in the mind.
A VeFitable Inferno
The Observation Ward was to
me an Inferno. It was haunted
with the hideouS memories OF
suffering and cruelty, and neg
lect that were a part Of the
daily. and nightly programs,
there.
I wanted to get out: I wanted
to go where I would not have to
shut my eyes and close my ears
to keep on the safe side Of
sanity myself.
So when I was transferred to
another building and given q
real dress, and real shoes and
stockings to put on, I felt ike

the shoes were heavy brogans
But I was glad anyhow.
I don't know where the in
stitution Of Patton has its un-
derwear made. What they
handed me to put on before I
donned my dress that first day
would not be recognized as un-
derwear, any place in the civil
liZed world.
Made of gray flannel, and
eked out with flower Sacking.
Rough, coarse, too big here,
too small there, and over all
came a faded old gingham
dress and q little gray wooden
cape.
When I was dressed in this
strange uniform Of misery they
gave me o heavy block.
TOOIs Fer Work
The bottom, Of the block was
covered with old brussels car
pet. There was a handle six
feet long to the block, and
that constituted the tools for
my new work.
How I ever survived that first
day at the work I had longed
for, so cruelty, I do not know.
I was pushed into the row of
insane women, each with her
poliSher in her poor hand-up
and down, back and forth, up
and down, back and forth, We
showed the poliSher.
My back ached as If it would
break, my arms felt as If they
would drop from my body any
minute. There were two rough
nails in each Of my brogans,
and they lacerated my feet ter
ribly.
My head swan, my eyes hurt
me so, it was all I could to
keep them open, but I never
said q word.
I knew the attendants were
watching.
One gasp, one sigh, one little
sob Of fatigue and away I'd

So I worked on and on. When
the day was done, I shook so

ADVICE TO
LOVELORN
BY Beatrice Fairfax
Seems to Have CHANGED
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:


DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I wonder if you will be so
kind as to help me with a
little advice. I have been going
with a girl for about a year
and have been getting along
fine. But suddenly something
seemed to come over her. She
acts very cold toward me low
as though I am a stranger. She
says that she still cares as
much for me; but If she Goes,
why does she act this way? She
doesn't let me come to see
her as often as she did, but I
know she doesn't go ouc with
anyone else. She used to get
awfully mad if anything came
up which prevented me from
seeing her. Now she doesn't
seem to care about it. Bus she
says she still loves me. l DON'T
believe lido you?
DOUBTFUL.
Sometimes domestic rcspon-
sibilities-having to ne out
with the pay envelope-will
change a girls attitude sud-
denly. She. feels that her as
sistance is needed at home and.
as her hopes Of marrying are
deferred. she has an attack Of
conscience, feeling Snat she
must not be too encouraging to
the young man who has won
her affection. I've known of a
good many such cases which
have caused much pain and
misunderstanding. A little
frankness on the part Of the
girl would be a better solution
and, as you have been such
good friends for a year. I think
you are entitled to know the
cause Of her changed attitude.
Ask her.

Such adversities force us to study our
selves. Perhaps the real key to most OF our
problems is the determination to work them
out ourselves.
We think more deeply in hard times than
in easy times. The reaction Of adversely to a
healthy mind is to call forth new ideas and
new abilities.
We give more thought to the misfor-
tunes Of the other fellow in hard times than
we do in good times. He does the same thing
with US. Friendship, fellowship and charity
take on new dignity and mean more to us in
hard times than in easy times.

THE USES OF

The world at large has the depression to
plague it. Montana has both the depression
and the drouth constituting a double chal-
lenge to the spirit and resourcefulness of
Montana people. The world will eventually
shake off the lethargy of the depression
which has partially paralyzed the arteries of
and the drouth will soon take its
place in the relatively small company of six
such years in the past hat century of Mon
tana agriculture.
But it remains to be seen how much of
the good that these i'll winds nave blown
will remain to light the pathway of new gen.
e~rations to follow in order that they may pro-
fit to the end that future depressions and
future drouths may find them better prepar-
ed to meet these great adversities.
In the great scheme of things such adj
v~ersities as these nave a place. They are the
stern teachers of the realities of life. Before
them fall the false theories and doctrines of
prosperous times and the unsound methods
which succeed only when times are good.
The uses of such adversities as depres-
sions and drouths are to teach us to prepare
for futrue epressions and drouths and to re-
mind us that although VIZ failed to provide
against the present adversely we can still in
sure against these Universities in the future.
Such universities also give us an opportu-
nifty to study the methods of the man who is
riding through these times on his own re-
sources. If our methods succeeded only in
easy times and his methods are succeeding
