shall Taylor, of Jacksonville, Flor
ida, who has added so much to our
knowledge of the hygiene of swim
ming, shows, reduces resistance to
infection. These general body
changes include a reduction in the
number of white blood corpusclcs
in the circulating blood, constric-
ton of the blood vessels on the
surface of the body, including the
mucous membrane of the nose.
Not After Meals
Swimming after meals - there
has been no change in the hygien-
lists ideas that this is a bad thing.
The blood goes to the interior after
a meal and if there is any tendency
to cramps there is proportionately
more danger. The blood is only
partially diverted to the muscles
after a meal. and exercise in cold
water imposes a demand that re-
suits in cramped muscles and obvi-
Gus attendant dangers.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
J. Rim your column recent
ly you discussed the digcstibility
of pureed vegetables. Will you
please tell me what is the differ
ence between purecd and strained
vegetables? Having had a stomach
ulcer operation l am careful Of
my diet in order to prevent a re-
turn of the trouble"
Answer-Thc difference between
pureed and strained vegetables is
a matter of the degree that the
plant tibers are broken up and
homogcnizcd. STRAINED" implies
the simple domestic operation rs
ordinarily performed in the kitch-
en-. Examination of foods under
the microscope shows that in
strained vegetables lhcre arc
large fibrous particles, and many
vegetable cells can be seen with
their cell walls unbrokcn. The
homogcniZcd vegetables have hscn
completely mashed.

Remaining on El CentroS Sched-
ule are games against Imperial and
Brawley while CaleXlco has only
Calipatria and Imperial to con-
tend with IN the final two weeks
of play.
CaleXico should score compar-
atively easy wins over the second
division opponents but E Centro
faces a tartar one week from Fri
day night in Its game against
Brawley high schools Wildcats.
The schedule however. gives E.
Centre one advantage. The advan-
tage hes in the time element. be-
cause il Will give Coach Larry Han
son ample time to work out new
combination to replace the alllng
Jack kirkpatrick.
FL Centre went into the CaleXico
game last week with only one week
OF training after the losses of
kirkpatrick, around whom the
Spartan offense had been built.
Should El Centre defeat Brawley
and end the season in a deadlock
with CaleXico. a playoff game is
possible.
The playoff date is at least three
weeks off. however. and by then
Hanson Will have had time TO per-
feet a new offenSe TO use against
CaieXlco. or II is possible Kirk
patrick will again be available by
that date.
CaleXico attempted to arrange a
playoff game this week. according
