Well.Rounded Diet
Helps to Prevent
Disturbances
Bv Edith NJ. Barber

By Edith NJ. Barber
Last week diseases which were
pasSe Is far as names were con-
cerned were mentioned. Here's
another one that is rarely heard Of
today.
Nobody ever has dyspepsia" That
was the term which used to- cover
any chronic affection of the diges-
tive system. Nowadays people speak
just as inaccurately about having
too much acid, or "acidosis."
The normal person has a flow
of hydrochloric acid in the stomach
which with peptin, which is also
furnished, will act on the protein
of milk, eggs and meat to start their
digestion which will be finished in
the intestines. Food of whatever
type will not pass into the intes-
tines until it has been thoroughly
mixed with acid. In the absence Of
proper amount of acid, food will
stay too long in the stomach and
will, therefore, ferment and cause
pain or gas. II the flow of acid is
too great, food will pass too quickly
through the stomach and hunger
pangs may result and at the same
time the acid may irritate the
delicate lining of the stomach.
Neither of the conditions men,
toned above causes acidosis, which
almost never occurs except as an
aftermath of other more serious
diseases and after the absorption Of
food. Every so often I am asked for
list of foods which will "alkalize"
and thus prevent acidosis. In q
varied diet we get q balance Of
acid and alkal. The very foods such
as oranges, grapefruit and toma-
toes, which are acid in digestion,
are alkaline after absorption. We
all have reserve Of alkaline prod
ucts In the blood which takes care
of the balance, If we are short Of
one or the other products in our
food.
If there is any disturbance Of
stomach digestion q physician
should be consulted and there
should be no self-dosing.

Manners
of the
Moment

Ever since my last visit to super
market, I have been wondering why
It is necessary for the market to
put up the sign, please do not put
dogs and children in the carriers" ="
You wouldn't think people would
have to be warned not to do this.
You may love your own darling
child or dog-so much that you
don't think OF the sanitary side of it..
You even may not mind having
your dogs hairs get tangled up In
the string beans or lettuce which
you have selected.
But other patrons of the market
will have to use the same carrier
later and it makes them pretty un-
comfortable to see Fido perched in
the food carrier. On this particular
day they can use other carriers, but
it makes them vince at the idea
that on another day they may all
unwittingly fall heir to carrier
that previously has been occupied
by your Fido.
Don't make it necessary for the
market to have to be on guard
against such unsanitary practices.
Let the baby stay in his own
perambulator and let Fido walk.
1t would be good for that PAM
pered pup, anyway. JEAN.

Local Custom
May yChange
Etiquette
Causes Difficulty
When Answering
Some Queries
By E nsily Post

- - SssssJ q wv
The reason why questions are
sometimes difficult to answer ID
that. although the general rules Of
conduct are the same in every part
of this country. occasional details
of etiquette follow local precepts
which differ not only from those at
4 distance, but even from those in
neighboring communities. 1t is this
same difference in pattern which
makes places interesting, giving
them-as 1t were-their personality.
However, at times, an unusual Gus
tom, or point Of view, becomes a
stumbling block in the way of an
easy ansWerl
For instance, q bride-to-be writes
me that weddings in her town never
take place on . Saturday. Sat
urday," she says, "is not considered
q proper wedding day and neither
Of course, is Sunday. 1t would suit
our plans especially well to choose
Saturday. but before going against
custom here will you give me the
reason why Saturday Is taboo?"
cannot even guess the answer
unless it might be that those who
settled the community were Jewish
and Saturday was therefore the Sab
bath. Or it may even have orig
mated in a protest once made for
q reason of convenience on one par
ticular occasion by leader whose
temporary objection was accepted as
a permanent opinion. In any case, ]
can say that Saturday is the very
most fashionable day for weddings
in New York and other Atlantic
Coast cities-especially for weddings
In the country. In fact, this Is the
only day when all the men friends
of the bride and bridegroom can be
present.
Dear Mrs. Post: After our wedding
we are to have q buffet collation.
in the church parlors. Would it be
polite to the guests of the bridal
party after receiving, is seated at
a table? Wouldn't it be rude to sit
while our guests stand?
Answer-It is entirely proper that
the bridal party alone sit at the
bridal table. And it is not rude to
the guests so long as the parents Of
the bride and bridegroom serve
themselves as all the guests do. It
would be very impolite should they
also have a table, unless tables are
supplied to all of the guests.
