iE HYPOTHETICAL MARKINGS


 n reply to numerous queries
 ,cerning the probability of pneu-
 .lia developing in consequence of
 sral days and nights of expos
 to cold and wet (the case of
 little girl lost in the New
 mpshire y1oods) the conductor of
 column laid himself wide open
 saying: How could the child
 et pneumonia when she wasn't
 posed to it?"--or words to that fleet.
 I asked for it, suppose. can ake it, too. All in good fun. But everal correspondents who sought enlighten as well as chasten me ;vidently cherish theory which probably grew out of the confused 5ffort to bolster up the quaint mo- ton of lowered resistance" and make it jibe with the present knowledge of the cause of pneu- monia. For example, this elucida- ton comes from an earnest medical student who, I believe, will make good physician, whether he en- joys success or not:
 With reference to your an- swer to the rescued child ques- ton, may ask whether a person might not get pneumonia Cor something else) even though he were alone for eight days? Does not modern medical bacteriology teach that these bacteria may be in the body but remain dormant until the body resistance is low ered?"
 In other words the student, and a good many other people who try to reconcile old fancies or theories with new observations or facts, i'm agines at least some persons carry more or less constantly the 'mak- ings" of, say, pneumonia, diph- theria, infanti-e paralysis or what not, in nose, throat or somewhere in the body, and thus are always prepared to develop the disease the moment their normal or nat ural defenseS are weakened by vagrant cold draft, a wetting of feet, or exposure to cold. That be- ing the cue, the germs hop to it and lay the victim low.
 There are many absurdities in present ay medical science" = have singled out some of them for dissection here, but I haven't told the half of it but none more screaming than this lowered re- sistance" one, in my opinion.
 There is not a scrap of experi- mental evidence, and certainly no practical evidence, to support this ridiculous notion of lowered le- sistance."
 It is indeed sad commentary on medical education that student of medicine can even harbor fancy that any germ carrier can in any conceivably circumstance in- feet himself. The germ carrier - typhoid carrier or any other germ carrier-must first become immune to the disease himself before he can possibly carry the germs and, III special circumstance, infect anoth- CT person.
 The notion that evidently con- fuses this medical students teach CTS is widely prevalent not only among physicians in general but among medical teachers and au- thors. It is the mark of sloppy thinking. Sloppy thinking due to to the habit of taking as Hoyle the views conceived and expressed by eminent medical authorities of yes- teryear and never daring to ques- tion them as long as the authori- ties live and throw their weight about.

 vide Estimates

An estimate of the population of school districts will soon be filed by School Superintendent Thomas J. Condon for the state sugar ration irg board which is requesting esti- mates and reports from school SUI perintendents throughout the state in order that plans may be prepar- ed for sugar rationing.
 The state board plans that school teachers in the state will handle the sugar rationing books which will be given to pupils for their parents. Under that arrange ment, the state board sugar ra- tioning feels that the teachers are better acquainted with the needs of the family and the number of members in each.
 No official notice has been re- ceived by Superintendent Condon from the board to prepare the es- innate but he believes 1t will be received later today.

Although hoLey is not a cheap sweetening, it justifies its use by Its aromatic flavor and freedom from ration restrictions. If your family has not yet learned to live within it's sugar ration, try using honey occasionally in baking,
 In using honey instead of sugar n recipes calling for sugar, reduce the liquid according to the consis- tnecy of the horey and also ac- cording to the proportion of honey used. For example, if medium thick honey is substituted for one-half the sugar in cake or quick-bread receipes, reduce the liquid one forth. If honey is substituted for all the sugar, reduce the liquid one-half If the honey is very thin or very thick, this proportion may have to be altered.
