ENTERTAINING OF DOCTORS
 AND NURSES

ENTERTAINING OF DOCTORS
 AND NURSES
 One large factor in the. high cost of medical care today is the over- training of physicians and nurses.
 The present system of medical education Is well adapted to the training of specialists, brass special ists, but Is far too hlghbrow and long, -winded for the training of good family physicians. It would be better for the public and better for the profession if we were to return to the system of 8 generation ago, giving straight four-year course in medicine following iin- mediatcly upon graduation from high school. Then . year or 18 months internship in Q hospital or in lieu of that a term of Batisfac. tory service as assistant to 6 precep- tor, and then c license to enter practice for himself. Incidentally the graft should be taken out of the licensing of physicians. No good reason why the state should not is- sue a license to any physician who has graduated from Q medical school recognized by the state. It is noth- ing but graft, vicious legitimate graft. that perpetuates the present system of cxacting fee from the duly graduated physician for more or less tricky examination before giving him his license. Of course the public pays for all this graft in the end. The public Bquawks inc cessantly about the high cost of medical care, but nobody ever thinks of cutting out the graft and shenanigan.
 I think I know competent nurse when 1 sec her at work. I've lec- tured to nurse training classes. sneaked the poor girls through their examinations when their papers were just terrible, learned humbly from them how to do things to bring more comfort to patients, quarreled vainly with their superin- tendents oyer the maner of their training. but I know can't measure q nurses RDlligy py any ekhmIn&biOu calculated to determine how much mischievous near-medical knowledge she has picked up while learning how to care for the sick.

People lBed to think that high blood pressure might be controlled by changing the diet. One popular notion wax that elimination or red meats would lower the pressure.
 Nowadays, we know that this B not true, ard that person with high blood pressure may take red meats if he requires the protein.
 Eskimos live almost wholly on meat, and do not suffer any more from the condition than do people in the temperate zone.
 Apparently pressure may be lowered by living for a long time on a diet low fin proteins; but there occurs at the same time an anemla and physical weakness which are probably related to the reduction, and which do more harm than the high bloo q pressure It. self.
 You should be exceedingly care- lul in taking any kind of diet that harms formation of blood cells.
 It h fairly well established that people with high blood pressure frequently are overweight. There fore, they should cut down on fats and carbohydrates in their food.
 Another belief used to prevail that cutting down of fluids would help lower blood pressure. Careful studies. however, show that thB is without scientific foundation
 
 The effects of Galt still are being debated. Some investigators found that a diet free from hait would aid reduction. Yet others insist that q aalt-free dietary s nod efieetlye ia tflo absfnce of complications af- gectinR the heart.

 Food Suggestions

Spring and griddlc cakes! Grid de cakes and spring! could make song of them. Perfect griddle cakes should be tender, light, and a tempting goiden-brown. Butter lavishly. add syrup to float and eat rapturously.
 Numerous preparations, all ready for the baking except for the addi- ton of liquid arc on the market. One needs only to follow the direc- tons on the package and griddle cakes arc made like magic. How ever, If you prefer to stir up your own, the following recipe Is excel- lent.
 Griddle Cakes
 Two cups sour milk, 2 eggs, 2 cups flour, teaspoon salt, tea spoon soda, tablespoon brown sue gar, 2 tablespoons melted butter or other shortening.
 Sour milk makes more tender cakes but if you don't happen to have 1t in the house sweet milk can be used. With sweet milk usc { teaspoons baking powder fin place of soda.
 Sift flour, salt and soda several timcs to be sure the soda is thor oughly mixed with flour. Add su- gar. Beat eggs until light and add milk. Add dry ingredients and stir vigorously. mixing as rapidly as possible and adding the melted shortening at this time. Bake on . hot griddle. browning first one side and then on the other.
 Cheese griddlc cakes arc unusual and very good. To make them add 2-3 cup grated cheese to the dry inc grcdicntS. mixing well. Bake as usual
 For nut griddle cakes, add one cup finely chopped salted nuts to the dry ingredients, reducing the amount of salt in the recipe to 1-4. If unSalted nuts are used increase the amount of salt in the recipe.
 Fruit griddle cakes will do as des- sert. For apple griddle cakes add 1 l-2 cups very thinIy sliced apple to dry ingredients and mix lightly. Add liquid ingredients. mix and bake as usual. Choose tart, quick cooking apples. Az each cake b removed from the griddle sprinkle it with a mixture of one part cln- namon to three parts brown sugar.

The Truth About Diet
Red Meats, Fluids Found No Hindrance To Reduction Of Blood Pressure
T0day's Health Question Q.-Is milk fattening?

A.-Milk generally B consid- cred the most nearly perfect food. It B easily digestible and deficient only in vitamins c. and D, and in iron. Its prin- ciple carbohydrate B milk sugar, which is easily used by the body. Therefore, milk has a prominent part in any fattening diet. Since, however, 1t b so nearly perfect az a food, it also may have a part in a reducing diet.
 Whether you would become fat on It's use depends upon the total amount of calorie8 taken into the body. Many ex- perts believe that gaining or losing weight B just a matter of bookkeeping. 10 far as cal- Ories are concerned.

Of the "City of Gold" is not a

what had become a legend. It
reads: "Paracale has seen many
gold booms. It is famous as the
town which provided the metal
from which were fashioned a
solid gold hen, presented to the
Queen of Spain. If present plans
proceed, this town will be moved
bodily from one site to another,
to facilitate gold mining opera
tions. A placer syndicate has Of

THE PARTY

CPECK and Spot were two little
y field mice and they lived in a
snug little home. They had blue
dishes in the cupboard and a red
tablecloth to eat on.
These two little mice were
brothers and why they had such
funny names I do not know.
One day in the Fall of the year,
Lopears, the rabbit, gave a BIRTH
day party for himself. He invited
all the other little animals from
far and near. Oh yes, he told
them that they might bring a
present, too, II they wished.
For two days speck and Spot
sat at their little red covered
table and thought, and thought,
about what they should take. to
Lopears.
How about a little cheese ?"
said Spot.
mo, not for rabbit. What
about page out of our news
paper?" said Speck.
mo that won't do AT ALL.
1 haven't finished reading the
funnies."
you've read them six times"
replied Speck.
Then like flash, Spot jumped
to his feet and whirled around
three times. 1--WE got it," he said,
well take him one of our sacks
of grain"
That was agreeable to Speck so
they dressed in their best clothes
and went to the party, carrying
the bag of grain.
Now it is a very funny thing,
each one of the little animals at
the party had thought of the
same gift for Lopears +. a bag
of grain.
The walls of his house under
the ground were LINED swith
bags of grain. And when it came
time for the refreshments
what do you think Lopears
served? GRAIN! 1t was grain
right out of the bags his friends
had brought to him for his birth
day.
That night on the way home
Spot said to Speck: 81 had a

Thus our ancestors, who a
short time before covered IN

in tree tops, were fast becoming
domesticated.
rHE Pilgrims were a home
conscious lot of trail-blazers
Not many who landed at Ply
mouth Rock in 1920, after a
perilous sea voyage, were build
ers or had the slightest concep-
ton of the principles of con-
struction. Few were equipped by
experience to cope with the hard
ships and problems which con-
fronted them.
However, they faced the future
bravely. Because their stock of
foodstuffs was limited, their prin-
clpal concern was agriculture.
Temporary shelters were crudely
constructed and the first winter
was spent in huts of slaves and
saplings, the space filled with
wattles and the whole daubed
with clay. AS soon as the colonists
had an opportunity to get settled
they embarked on construction
characteristic of their native land
and of the community they had
established as their new home.
The colonists everywhere came
in contact with Indians. From
them they learned much of bene-
fit concerning their adopted land.
The Indians, for the most part,
were amicable and there was
little trouble until the acquisitive
instincts of the Invaders" de-
veloped to degree beyond the
comprehension of the natives
This, with the attitude that saw
ages existed for the purpose of
exploitation, led to i'll will-not
to mention few scalpings.

tans build their first real homes
Later We'll peek in to CLEAN an
idea of what early American
houses actually looked like.
