ut is not intended that the bowel
should be free of waste matter"
writes DR.. Aaron-another bugaboo
with no basis. :.
No Basis for It
When a physician asks his pa
tients who complain of constipation
what they mean by the term, he is
usually told it means that if they
stopped taking laxatives the bowels
would not move during the next "a
hours. This idea has been encour-
aged by high-powered propaganda,
but it has no basis in fact. 1t is re-
ally amusing to see the establishment
exhibited by one Of these cathartic-
slaves when he finds he has normal
evacuation after having been per-
suaded to leave off the dosage en-
tirely for day. -
For treatment, the first step is an
X-ray examination to see whether

With trouble around me in many
ways,
If were an animal, zoo.
If they set dogs on me,

I'd climb up tree,
If | were cat

And balky, of course,
When men were unkind-
If | were a horse.
OF my beautiful song,
Not a note would be heard
While my world was all wrong,
If l were bird.
I'd crawl under a house
And lie still as log,

By LOGAN CLENDENING. M. D,

OF THE medicines which are
taken by the people Of the United
States, at least 60 per cent of the
daily. consumption are cathartics.
And it may safely be said that not
more than two per cent are neces-
sary. 1t may further be said that
constipation, the condition they are
supposed to relieve, is made worse
or actually created by the use Of
cathartics.
Most constipation is imaginary.
Its evils are almost entirely in1agi-
nary. The imaginary constipate
thinks he needs a cathartic, which
irritates the inside of his bowel,
which makes him think his bowel is
distended, which makes him take
more cathartics. The vicious circle
is complete.
Regarded as Crank
These doctrines, which have
been preaching for many years, are
not readily acceptable to the cathar-
tic habitues. am regarded by them
as crank. ! am, therefore, glad to
have support in an authoritative
book by DR.. Harold Aaron, medical
consultant to Consumers Union
U. S., called sour Common ALL
msent-Constipation, Its Cause and
CIre".
DR.. Aaron points out that just as
no two people are alike tempera-
mentally, so no two sets of intestines
are alike. The rhythm varies with
all of us. Our insides work on diff
ferent schedules. For some, one
evacuation day, for some, two, for
some, one every other day is normal.
To substantiate this, look at the
experiment performed by DR.. Wal
ter c. Alvarez, of the Mayo Clinic.
He gave healthy medical students
sets Of gelatin capsules containing
small glass beads. They swallowed
these with their meals. The beads
were counted as they came out. The
results showed that normal young
men with good digestions and daily
bowel movements did not pass in "a
hours anything like 100 per cent Of
the beads. Two passed IS per cent
in "a hours; most Of the students
took four days to get rid of rs per
cent, and some passed only so per
cent in nine days.

promotion of dextrose in foods as of
special food value. What particular
benefits to the system has dextrose
over sugar"
Answer-Dextrose or glucose or
grape sugar is chemically simpler
sugar than ordinary table sugar,
which is cane sugar or sucrose. All
sugars are converted to glucose in
the body because that is the only
form the body can convert into en-
ergy. In infant feeding, dextrose is
said to have some advantage, as do
all the simpler sugars such as NAL
tose, especially in difficult cases of
indigestion, but there is no advan-
tage for adults.

extreme form it is called ''ichthyo-
sis" or fish skin, because of the seal
ing. No internal treatment is of any
benefit. Cut down the number of

Speaking of Cheese

When is Roquefort cheese?
When it is made from ewes
milk in a cave near Roquefort,
France. This has been brought
home lately by many newspa-
pers which innocently printed
bulletin from the Agriculture
Departments Bureau of Home
Economics to the effect that
"Roquefort is now made in the
United States"
You will note from the in
closed decisions of both the
State and the Federal courts
Frank, We'll and Strouse, attor-
neys for the Roquefort inter-
ests in the United States, wrote
The Star, that Roquefort
cheese is a product made of
whole sleeps milk and cured
in the caves of Roquefort,
France"
The Agriculture Department
today observed that in declar-
ing Roquefort cheese was made
in the United States, it was
thinking of cheese types. But
it added that since the court
decisions were issued, what
used to be known as American
Roquefort is sold as Blue"
cheese, or Danish" cheese, or
"Pennroque" cheese, or under a
number of other names.
Even though these cheeses
are made from cows milk
above ground, the department
feels that in all their essentials
they are Roquefort. But it is
willing to go along with the
courts. French Roquefort i'm
ported into the United States
comes to about 5000, 900 pounds
a year. The American cheese
consumption is about 400 ,00O, 900
pounds a year.
The Star made reference to
American Roquefort in an arti-
Gle April S, which quoted the
Agriculture Department.
