Various authorities estimate that Of
the joints and rheumatic conditions are due to intes-
final causes in from 20 to 40 per cent OF cases. one
group insists that the taking Of sugars is largely
responsible. and they cut down on such substances.
Another group claims that overeating of protein
foods. such as meat. eggs. and fish. may be harmful.
You can see that people who regularly overeat
ought to eat less and those who are overweight should
take smaller amounts OF carbohydrates. The sick
person is likely to suffer in the nutrition Of his it's
sues. and it may be hazardous to cut down too great
Iy on protein fods.
Some faddists insist on omission Of all acid fruits
and vegetables. The foods commonly called acid
fruits include tomatoes. oranges, grapefruit, and
lemons. Actually these foods contain weak acids
which are oxidized In the body and the end result Is
alkaline
You should remember. moreover that such foods
represent the primary contribution to the diet Of
vitamin c and that they also provide e good amount
Of vitamin A. They are really essential to any we'll
balanced diet and there is nothing to show that they
should not be included in the diet Of a person with
arthritis.
guile 4cCGlbly S0mC AnuQ6to nave INSISTED IuAL a
person with q rheumatic condition should not eat a
mixed diet and that the presence Of protein in the
stomach ~interferes with the digestion Of starches.
This is another indication Of the lack Of knowledge
OF physiology.
Meat and potatoes. which are especially rich In
protein and starch. have been eaten for thousands
Of years. The digestion OF starch begins In the
mouth because the saliva Is important In digestion.
This process may be temporarily interrupted In
the stomach. because starches are not dieested In the
presence Of acid from the gastric juice. However. the
digestion of starch is again resumed when the food
passes from the stomach into the ~intestines. where
the juices are alkaline.
IL has been pointed out that such animals as the
dog. the cat, and the COW do not have fcrments in
their saliva for d~igesting starches and that In such
animals, which live chiefly on foods containing
starches, all digestion Of starch takes place after the
food has left the stomach.
Another group Of faddists says that persons with
arthritis should eat foods tending to a~lkalinity. The
human body is a self-reguating mechanism which
must always incline toward alkalinity. and It is
rather silly for people to attempt to make any spe-
cal effort to keep the body on the alkaline side.

UTILITY PROBE
STILL LAGS
ZELDA NEWMAN
International News Service

Three weeks have elapsed
since its inception, and the sec,
ond move of the Senate Lobby
Committee to trace to their
source lobbying activities against
the utility holding company bill
has shown no tangible results.
This was revealed to Interna-
tional News Service today, al.
though committee members re.
fueed to comment on the Situa-
ton as yet.
The second effort embraced
the sending out of questionnaireS
to some 1000 officials of utility
holding companies, their affili-
ates and associates of all types.
These questionnaires were sent
out after a less detailed inquiry
launched in August failed to
satisfy Senator Black CD of
Alabama, chairman of the COM
mittee.
While three weeks have passed
since the new queries were dis
patched. committee members
felt that the contention of those
who received them that they
need a little more time might
still be justified. However, they
indicated plainly that they ex-
pect results in the near future.
Plans for reopening the public
hearings of the committee were
going forward, but Senator Black
adhered to his usual custom of
not revealing projected moves un.
til he was ready to act.
The Washington times., 1935-10-15

suits have nearly quintupled
under the new law.
This means that an additional
$2,860 has been poured into the
court Golfers due to the new law,
since the filing fee of $40 must
be paid for each divorce suit filed.
Lawyers decline to comment on
the probable total of professional
fees now being spent in the Dis
trict in divorce cases, but point
out that whatever fees are being
paid, those fees are undoubtedly
less than divorce litigants would
have paid Nevada attorneys for
Reno divorces and that the
DEGREES obtained in the District
are bona fide and not subject to
collateral attack.

time before the bicycle rider will
be compelled to carry license tags
