What Is Best He| o
We Can Give Old?
Dr. cIendenins Suggests tho Old Folks Remain Active
and Stoy Out Of Bed as Much as Possible

in the bones and the joints is seen in
the shortening of height, and the
fragility of the hands and feet.
The digestive. system in old age
holds up very we'll. 1t is a matter Of
establishment to the younger, casual
observer how good the appetite is
and how. much the aged can eat.
They appear & aedy, but it must be
remembered It's is one of the few
real pleasures they have left.
1t is at once their pleasure and
their burden. They pay for it with
one of the most constant and char
acteristic diseases of old age-irri-
tation of the bowel. If old folks
didn't think there was something
the matter with their intestines,
they wouldn't be old folks.

One other advantage they have

diseases. The young mother with

mother and grandfather catching
them, though. They have acquired
their immunity.
Two or three general pieces of ad-
vice about the care of the aged fol-
low from these general ideas:
One is, do not try to change their
habits too fast or too drastically.
They are quite capable of changing
their own habits, impelled by their
own physical necessities.
Then, what they need more than
anything else, is cheering up. The
very use of the words cold age" as |
write this article pains me and must
pain those interested. The aged are
likely to be depressed = they are
very sensitive and like to be praised.
Revolutionary is the most impor-
tant form of treatment for them.
Third, they must be kept up and
as active as possible. Bed is a good
place for infants, not for the old.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
d. H.: "(a) Can first attack of
asthma in young person be cured,
and how? (b) Which is the better
way to have tonsils removed, surgi-
cally or by X-ray?"
Answer-The word "cured" is the
catch in this question. Any attack
of asthma can be relieved by soda
tives, and the earlier, the easier. An
attack in chronic asthmatic is not
as easy to relieve as a first attack.
"Cured" is a big order. In child
asthma is usually due to food sensi-
tivity and usually the child "out-
grows" it. Many children are asth-
matte up to about the age of or 8
and then mysteriously their asthma
leaves them. (b) In my opinion
surgical removal is the better way
for tonsils.
r. A.: els colitis caused by too
much acid? I have been taking acid
for spasms of the stomach and get
colitis. Would chewing gum daily
help?"
Answer-Colitis is more likely to
be caused by too little than too much
acid. / presume you mean you have
been taking hydrochloric acid.
Chewing of gum seems better
treatment.

he made his call on her he found her
fast asleep. His entrance into the
room awakened her.. and she de-
manded a hypodermic Of morphine
instantly and denied that she had
been sleeping.
Here an important word of warm
ing should be noted. The aged re-
spond very badly to the hypnotic
drugs-especially the ones that are
now more widely used than ever be-
fore-I mean the harbiturates such
as amytal, medinal, numbutal, etc.
They are liable to produce delirium
and restlessness rather than relaxa-
ton.
The best sleep-producers for the
old are warm drinks, such as warm
milk, Ovaltine, hot chocolate, or a
glass Of wine or beer.
The home care Of the aged is a
difficult and trying task. In a re-
view of plans for old age security, a
magazine not long ago stated that
a home with the young people was
the best. But there are objections.
The elders are inclined to resent
new modes Of life, and think them
selves neglected if no attention is
paid to them. This is the basis Of
oikiomania, the morbid state in
which the natural love for those
nearest is turned to hatred. The old
people themselves have to do most to
prevent this situation.

sues of old age is waste of tissue.
In every case where the tissue is re-
placed by other tissue, the new It's
sue is of lower order, requiring
less blood supply. This compensa-
ton takes a great burden off the
heart and arteries of the aged. We
wonder as we look at old people with
their thickened arteries, how they
keep nourished so well. It is be-
cause their tissues do not require
so much blood. This leads, of course,
to lowered activity and this lowered
activity is itself a compensation.

The Current Drought

Connecticut agriculture is hard hit by the drought which has encompassed this region since late April. Showers that have fallen in the intervening period, even the latest one of Tuesday night, have not proved sufficient unto the season. Immense losses will be taken by the men who are the backbone of the Connecticut crops. There still may be something salvaged from the crops, but only in the event of frequent rains of considerable degree.
 Water supplies, too, are feeling the ef- fleets af the dry weather In this respect, though, Waterbury happens to be ex- tremely fortunate. We have more than enough water to care for all our needs. It isn't necessary for the city fathers to issue warning about sprinkling lawns or gardens. We can draw on our plentiful supplies without having to feel that may be we should conserve them so that we won't draw too heavily on the reservoirs.
 Tt is in times like the present one that Waterburys -than-ample water sup ply, municipally-owned, speaks for itself. At other times we are apt to speak dis paragingly about so great a system. But when the drought's on the curtailment of water usage would seem imperative, then Waterbury residents can gloat about the extent of their water holdings and their value.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-06-15

the state has received To our way of thinking it surpasSeS even the announce ment that balanced budget was adopted for the next biennium.
 Economies will be put into effect by Commissioner Cox that will cut his oper- ating expenses at least per cent, he estimates. It will be necessary for him to study his department pretty thor oughly and there may be some shaking up and overhauling in it. But if at the end of a year the sum of one million dol lars has been saving in highway costs, then it will be worth the effort. As we understand it the savings are not to be accomplished at the cost of decreased services in highway maintenance or ex- tension. Present development plans will not suffer, although costs may drop.
 Behind this proposed economy drive to save $1 100000 there lies duty, it would seem, for other state officials to stir themselves in an effort to approximate such savings. We do not know of another governmental bureau that could save as much as that, for few of them do the amount of business that is required of the State Highway Department. But it seems pretty obvious that if one great branch of the government can announce that it's operating costs can be cut 6 per cent, there are others which can fall in line and bring about just as drastic reductions.

Week-End Tragedy

Occupying front-page headlines with motor casualties at this time of the year are the sad tales of little boys being drowned in rivers, lakes or ocean. We had one such tragedy in Connecticut this past weekend when four youngsters were drowned over near Norwich. Three of them were brothers. The story as related by the press was that not one of them could swim, but that three endeavored to save one little fellow who slipped into deep water.
 That story will be told and retold in various forms all throughout the summer months. It should impress upon fathers ard mothers and also authorities the need of having their boys and girls learn to swim as early in life as possible. The way is much easier now for that than years ago when we did not have very many public or supervised pools. When the weather gets hot boys and girls will flock to available pools and rivers It's up to the parents to preach the lesson of safety.
 True, many persons are drowned who can swim, but unusual circumstances usually attach to such cases. Plenty of good, old-fashioned, wholesome advice may prevent many a tragedy at some nearby swimming hole this summer. Don't be afraid to give it.

A Thought for Today
No Martyrdom for Moseley

The proposals that General George Van Horn Moseley be court-martialed, and the suggestion of Thomas E. Stone, chair man of the Council of U. s. Veterans, Inc, that he is guilty of treason, seem fairly ill advised. Whether any such charges could be technically sustained against the general under army regulations, is matter of military law, in which we are not skilled. But it would seem unwise to pursue them. For the very worst thing that could happen would be at this point to make martyr of General Moseley.
 Hitler never amounted. to much until he was jailed for his sickly "putsch' at tempt against the republic, and the Con- munist movement is much indebted to the building up of martyrs in the public, and especially the party, eye. The general has been very definitely out of order. Despite service record in many ways distinguished, he seems never to have grasped the fundamental fact of the American military servce - that it must not, and generally does not, nleddle with politics. The American way implies a complete separation between the military and civil powers which is something gall ing to military men with political minds.
 Yet it is basic An American soldier is an American trained and pledged to carry out missions assigned to him by the ap- propriate civil authorities. He is not an iatriguer, nor has he any duty to "save the country" except under definite orders from his properly superiorS, chief of whom is a civilian president General MoSeley should know these things, as practically all of his associates in the service know them, and as 99 44-100thS of them observe them.
 AS a pensioner drawing $600O year from the taxpayers, the general is not only subject to the military authority di- rectly, but he is subject to canon of good taste which dictates that he employ his well-earned leisure in pursuits outside the active political field There is always trout-fishing, and the collecting of stamps is said to induce quietneSs of mind
 The general, during his active career, served his country well. The country, in retiring the general on generous and sufficient pension, recognized this, but it also pointedly indicated that it no longer required his formal active services as soldier. From this, any man able to take broad hint might deduce that neither does the country require his in- formal and all too freely-volunteered services as sleuth and amateur under cover man.

Selected Poem
A PRAYER
(Rex Hunter i,

(Rex Hunter in the New York Sun) The rain came down in torrent and washed the
 trees, The rain made the green of the grasses brighter
 green; The rain came down with rush, and thunder
 volleyed And lightning flashed; the sleeping forces were
 loosed. Lord! gods! (whatever the name men call you), Send your thunder over the souls of men, Loose your lightning over their faltering hearts, Send storm upon them and cleanse their souls, Pour down rain upon them and wash their hearts
 clean! Are they less than grassland you washed the
 grasses

Down in Florida Governor Fred P. Cone takes definite steps when he wants to accomplish something. When multi million dollar deficit threatened his state by virtue of legislative appropriations over and above anticipated revenue he just simply vetoed those appropriations for which no revenue had been provided. There'll be no deficit in Florida, says the governor, a small town banker. His maxim with regard to state budgets is: "We won't spend what we haven't got" Almost anybody could adopt such rule and accomplish great deal.

According to the papers Massachusetts has given the federal government the right to acquire land for flood control purposes within it's boundaries. This is supposed to end the long drawn-out argument over flood control in New Eng land, but we wonder if it really does. So far as the Bay State is concerned its minor flood problems will probably now be solved, but what of the Connecticut River Valley. Surely this pact just made won't have anything to do with correct ing conditions in the valley, for they be- gin way up in New Hampshire and Yer mont. We didn't read that any power dams were included in the proposed fed eral projects which is probably why the agreement was reached. If Uncle Sam would also forego those for the Connecti- cut River Valley flood control throughout New England could proceed rapidly

Possibility of having the toll system start on the Merritt Parkway before the Fourth of July looms now. Highway Commissioner William J. Cox says the tolls can be collected two weeks after Gov ernor Raymond E. Baldwin signs the bill legalizing them. And that will be his toric occasion. It should call for some delving into Connecticut history to de- termine when the last tolls were collected along Connecticut roadway. Little did we think we'd ever return to the era of the toll-gate.
