 Valuable As Annual Release
 We pretend it is the children, but it is not living children alone who move us to be happy and expect ant. It is those past youngsters- ourselves = who preserve memo " and still serve it. We roman ticists dare not part with Santa, the tree, the stocking, the holly, the presents-although they may exist only in our thoughts. Besides, I think we need Santa Claus for one grand good explosion of joy once a year.
 That he should be associated with Christmas instead of New Years Day or Thanksgiving must have a reason. All Christsndom has adop- ted a carmate saint with certain peculiar customs, to color the more abstract generosity. I believe that Santa Claus in red suit or brown, Santa fat or lean--leaving gifts in the children's sabots or hanging them on a tree-will continue to en- dure. It is Mars we should destroy, not the bright merry old boy who sings out, "Mery Christmas to all, and to all a good night"

The Truth About Diet
Proving Uric Acid Fear Base less Upsets Meatless
 Diet Pads
BY DIR. MORRIS FIsHBEIN

BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor, Journal of the American
 Medical Association, and of Hygeia, the Health Magazine Away back in 1929 there ap- peared one Sylvester Graham, who had 8 system of diet involving elimination of meat, sauces, tea, coffee, alcohol, pepper, and mus tard, and who insisted that to be fealthful one ought to eat lots of vegetables, whole wheat bread, fruits, nuts and salt, and drink pure water.
 This is the same Graham who is responsible for giving us graham crackers and graham bread.
 About 1892 appeared Alexander Haig with the idea that uric acid was a factor in the causation of disease. This Haig argued that uric acid comes from eating meat, that iG accumulates in the blood, and that as a result meat eaters are unhealthy.
 The disease which Haig partic- ularly associated with uric acid were high blood pressure, rheuma- tism, gout, diabetes, and Bright's disease, but he did not hesitate to include as well headache, epilepsy, IT. ental depression, and anemia.
 It took about 20 years for medi- cine to prove with more than a fair degree of certainty that the uric acid by hypothesis was without scientific foundation.
 Yet there continues to be sold a considerable number of patent med- i. Ines based on the uric acid idea, and the purchaser will read in the advertising literature that the real value of these patent medicines is to clear the uric acid out of his body.
 Now, you need not be afraid of uric acid in your body. Chem ical studies of the blood show that this acide is increased in the blood when there is an abundant amount of meat in the diet, but uric acid also is present when meat is not eaten.
 Even more certain than this, careful studies of the tissues fail to revealy that the uric acid is in an.- way associated with the forms of inflammation which appear in rheumatism and Bright's disease. Moreover, plenty of people with high hlo0d measure have never touched meat.
 Lest it be thought that these ar ticles are designed in any way to boost the sale of meat, may say at this point that only moderate amounts of meat are necessary in any well-balanced diet.
 The diets that have been devel- oped by nutrition experts, who are trying to work out c minimum es- sential diet for those on relief, inc clude meat on only two days of the wc>s,

 Nine times out of ten, gray hair is more attractive than dyed locks. However, for those who can't bear the silver threads among the gold and others who have been blonde and now want to emulate Jean Har- low by going back to brown, there are few rules which should be fol- lowed.
 First of all, you shouldn't try to dye your own hair unless you have been coached by an expert. In any event, the first dye job ought to be done by a professional. Find out from him exactly the shade you need, how to apply it, how often and what to do in case it doesn't turn out just as you hoped,
 Remember, of course, that scalp treatments, meticulous shampoos and special precautions regarding permanent waves are more neces- sary than ever once you've taken the dye step. Rub hot oil into your scalp the night before you sham poo. Brush gently but thoroughly every night of your life and, before you make an appointment for permanent, reassure yourself that the operator has had great experi- ence with dyed heads.
 Hair which shows streaks of gray ought to be tinted just enough so 1t will be the natural color it al- ways has been. If you have brown and gray hair, don't try to change it all to black. Have the operator use dye that matches perfectly the brown tones.
 If you have bleached for years, have several reconditioning treat ments before you make an appoint ment for . dye process which will turn your hair the color it was be-

When the navel is healed and no longer requires 8 dressing, there is no good reason to keep the band on the baby. On the contrary, the baby will be happier and healthier without it.

Heart Failure from Deficiency of
 Vitamins
 At lesat in the medical world have observed that the tailor made man frequently accepts ready made ideas, while the fellow in non-de- script handmedowns somehow con- trives to think for himself.
 Even the physician with a very large practice will see only a few cases a year." opines Dr. Walter o. Alvarez, in recent contribu- tion to a new magazine, "only 8 few cases a year in which he will suspect that the symptoms are due to too great narrowing of a diet. Usually such @ patient is old; he may be recluse who cooks for himself, or a psychopathic food crank who is fussy about eating and is full of prejudices, or he may be a red-nose bum who has been trying to live on whiskey. Not infrequently the patient has peptic ulcer or colitis and has been liv- ing too long on milk and little else .
 For a rara avis it seems this pa- tient the busy doctor may suspect as suffering with vitamin deficiency bobs up with astonishing regular ity! In fact, if I may venture to interject remark in the Yah- but manner, it is quite likely that many of the valetudinarians whose complaints are so plausibly explained in Dr. Alvarez's book Nervous Indigestion" (Hober) would snap out of it if tehy could someho wget an optimal ratoin of vitamins for year or so.
 Dr. James s. McLester, in his textbook Nutrition and Diet" (Saunders, 193D makes a pertinent comment: "Subminimal diets which fall just short of adequacy may, without producing outspoken dis ease, lead to chronic gastritis and enteritis with impairment of neuro- muscular control of the intestine. Indeed there is good reason for be- lieving that chronic vitabin B de- ficiency of this character is re- Sponsible for many of the obscure, indefinite digestive disorders-dis- orders which so often destroy the happiness of the patient and baftle the physician. We are accustomed to call these patients inconsistencies and chronic intestinal invalids. whereas most of them are Sorely in need of food of the proper vita min conetnt. In addition, 1t is possible that many obscure disor- ders, particularly of the so-called functional type", result from Q failure of the diet to provide vita min B in sufficient amount
 One imagines Dr. Alvarez wears custom made clothes.
 Drs. D. Reisman and H. s. Da- vidson expressed the opinion, in an article on Beiberi Following Drastic Voluntary Dietary Restriction (J.A. MA. June 16, '34) that some of the cases of slow heart failure or loss of compensation in heart disease seen in the wards of public hospi- tals are in part due to food de- privatoin, and this apparently refers to vitamin B deficiency particular ly.
 Research workers Preferences available to physicians) have shown that the sensitivity of the heart to the effect of digitalis is de- creased where there is a deficiency of vitamin B, and that the ir- regularity known to physicians as heart block may be produced in pigeons by a diet lacking vitanlin B; restoration of vitamin B to the diet corrects both conditions.

ToDAYs HEALTH QUESTION

Q.-In minor accidents, is it good practice to wash the blood off the injured surface with an antiseptic solution, or to dress the wound without do- ing thisss
 A.-If there is any consid- erable amount of blood, it should be washed of. If the blood is dry and crusts have formed, this may be removed with 8 solution of equal amounts of hydrogen peroxide and water. Then the wound may be painted with ordinary tincture of iodine to keep it clean.
