vITAMINS AND ARTHRITIS

vITAMINS AND ARTHRITIS
 There is considerable scientific and clinical evidence that prolonged moderate shortages of vitarnins B, 0 and D may be concerned in the development of chronic arthritis; and that adequate or optimal ra- tions of these factors may speed re- lief and recovery from arthritiS.
 It may be well to explain what an adequate or an optimal ration of vitamin means, for the benefit of physicians as well as flaynen. Of course every one knows what ade- quate means. It means sufficient or enough. But sufficient or enough for what purpose? In reference to vitamins, we know now that many individuals get enough vitamins to prevent the manifestations of cer- tain well defined deficiency diseases such as beri-beri (from deprivation of vitamin B, xeropthalnlia (dry eyeS) and night blindness (from de- privation of vitanin Al, scuryy (from deprivation of yitamin O or rickets (from. deprivation of vitaniin D. Yet these individuals may Suf- fer impairment. of health and vital- ity from lack of an adequate amount of one or more of these vitamins. The old time physician recognized no borderland between health and cleraly defined disease. You couldn't just be crabid, peeyish, irritable and sensitive about the gums or unduly prone to show ''black and blue" marks from trif1ing or no apparent injury; you had to be completely disabled and in 8 rather alarming state before the old time doctor would concede you were ill of scurvy.
 Physicians formerly took simi- lar attitude in respect to all of the diseases known as deficiency dis eases or avitaminoses. The great majority of physicians still suffer from presbyopia, because the stan- dard medical textbooks have not yet been brought up to date and the numerous mild or moderate corn- plaints classified as hypovitamin-

be made by merely tying loop in a towel or handkerchief, putting this loop about the arm or leg, and then tightening it sufficiently with rod of any kmd.
 When there is bleeding from a tooth socket, following the extrac- ton of a tooth, the hemorrhage can usually becontrolled by plug ging the socket with sterile gauge or by applying hot water. If the bleeding continues, it is best to con- suit immediately a competent doctor or dentist, who will apply any of the common styptic drugs to stor the bleeding.
 If there is bleeding from a vari- cose vein of the leg, the person should lie down and elevate the limb as much as possible. Then 8 clean pad of gauge should be ap- piled, and the area compressed lightly with a bandage.

 Strive to Do Both
 The majority of women would prefer to keep a mans home and hearth clean, bright, secure while he builds the fortresses beyond the garden. However, when he cannot do so alone, woman realizes that she must help for the time, though the fire grows low on the hearth and the pottage cools in the kettle For the sake of future days when the simmering mixture will be sweet and hot, and thc fire high and bright, she has to meet the present exigency.
 Having learned, though. that her strength may lend much to that wall and Its direction, woman will find a method. to aid in her colin- try's crusades without neglectine her home.

 When blood pours from a wound in the skin, from the nose, or from any of the other orifices of the body people are likely to become unneces- sarily frightened. The first advice to be given to anyone who wants to help under such circumstances is to keep cool.
 A great many hemorrhages may be prevented by taking certain pre- cautions. Broken glass and razor blades should be put into box and not thrown into wastebaskets. Sharp axes and saws, butcher knives, hatchets, sharp chisels, and screw drivers should, be kept where chil- dren cannot get at them. Tools with sharp edges should be used only by those who know how to handle them.
 When using a knife, cut away from the body. Keep butcher knives and other sharp utensils in a special drawer, with all the ham, dles pointing in one direction. If q sharp can opener is used, a tagged edge will not be left on a can. Careful housewives wear gloves when opening tin cans.
 
 Be careful in opening safety pins, or you are liable to receive a pune ture wound.
 Meat grinders, cream separators, utomatic churns, and other elec- trical devices frequently catch fingers, hair, or other parts of the body with resultant serious wounds
 The bleeding from ordinary wounds can be controlled by pres sure with piece Of sterile gauge such as should be available in every family medicine chest.
 In case of very severe bleeding tOurniquet may be applied an the arm or leg just above the place of bleeding. It is not safe, however, as . policeman once recommended in . course on first aid, to wrap a tourniquet around the neck when there is hemorrhage from the scalp
 It is not usually necessary to keep a tourniquet readily available < in the home. A suitable one may

Swedish Meat RolI' is easy to make and a dish that would do credit to the most experienced chef.
 Of course, there's no reason why fresh meat can't be used in this roll. If you do use fresh meat in- stead of leftovers, buy 1-2 pound ot round steak or cooked ham and prepare it by the same recipe Brown the round steak well with the onion.
 Swedish Meat Roll for Six
 One and one-half cups chopped or ground leftover meat. table spoon minced onion, 1-4 teaspoon salt, 1-8 teaspoon pepper, table spoons leftover gravy or bullion cube dissolved in water.
 For the pastry: 2 cups flour, teaspoon baking powder, 1-2 teas spoon salt, tablespoons shorten ing, 3-4 cup milk.
 If you don't have leftover gravy dissolve a bouillon or gravy cube III water and use three tablespoons oi that.
 | Mix the meat with the onion browned, salt, pepper and gravy. To make the pastry, sift the dry ingredients, cut in the shortening with 3 sharp knives or a fork.
 Add the milk to make a sof' dough.
 Roll the dough IA inch thick Spread this with the meat mix ture and roll it lengthwise like g jelly roll. Then cut this roll in slices incl thick.
 Place the slices on a well greaset baking pan.
 Dot each slice with butter ant bake in hot oven (4O degrees) II minutes.
 Serve with additional gravy t which more fried onions have beer added.

Sive woman feels the urge for ex- pressing those opinions. To Sti- file ity as of secondary importance, is to prevent her own finest full fillment.
 A home is an integral part of a community. It is influenced, how ever, by the economic and politi- cal winds that blow about it. Therefore, 1t becomes as import ant for the keeper of the hearth to put up storm curtains as it is to keep violets in the blue vases and daisies in the brass bowls.
 The plea which women's clubs are making to women to familiar ize themselves with conditions in the nation and let their own opin- ions be voiced at the polls is a sound one. It is just method of common sense, nor is 1t unwoman- ly. Any work which promotes the community's welfare is of utmost importance.

 In these days of careful budget ing and economizing the consul mer has the ever-present problem of finding ways to serve leftovers attractively. If there is one place that no one enjoys seeing scrinap- ing it's the table. You really do not have to make hash (good as it may be) or serve leftover meat sliced cold. There are many more appetizing ways to present the last of the roast.
