-wE, THE woMEN There's One Like This In Every Town
RY RUTH MILLETT

Every community in America has a few "Not Us" families. A Not Us'' family is willing to do anything to help win the war but inconveni- ence ikself
The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-06-23

It sounds like exaggerat!cn but the "Not Us" family actually grumbles about what a nuisance 1t is to have to remember to take an old tube to the drugstore when buy ing new tube of toothpaste.
 Now that sugar rationing has gone into effect the "Not Us" fam- fly only gets half pound week per person, like everybody else. But they are still enjoying pies, cakes, and cookies as usual-which could only be managed by failure to de- clare that hundred pounds in the basement.
 THEY'RE DRIVING
 THEIR TIRES THIN
 The tire shortage scared the day. lights out of the Not Us" family and for a long time they used their car as little as possible, even though they miraculouSly had more than one spare for 1t.
 But the other day there was a hint that the government might have to take over private automo- piles in the future or at least might permit $ family to have only five tires. So, the Not Us" family out side the gasoline ration area is run ming the wheels off the car, going for long Sunday drives and even taking weekend trips in it.
 It's simple, the way they have il figured out. If the government Is likely to take their car away from them before the tires are gone, they might just as well wear out. the tires themselves. And they are do- ing their best to do just that.
 The funny thing about the "Not Us" families is that they think they are good citizens. They certainly don't believe for a minute they anc their attitudes are handicapping thu war effort.
 They believe in the war effort but they don't want to be incon. venienced by 1t.

 QUESTIONS and ANSWERS
 UnsOfved Mystery
 Please tell me the function of the thymus glad and whether X-ray treatments of enlarged thymus gland can have any untoward effect on the child in other ways, say by af- fecting growth or sexual develop ment. (S. L.)
 Answer Function of thymus un- known. X-ray treatments seem to bring about normal involution or shrinkage of the enlarged gland and, so far as I know, have no un- toward side-effects. Some infants with enlarged thymuS suffer con- stant stertorous or aSthma-like breathing, especially when excited, and some difficulty in swallowing. Others with enlarged thymus (as indicated by X-ray) have no such symptoms. The thymus normally strinkS in childhood.
 Copper SuIfate
 You suggested using one-grain copper sulfate tablet dissolved in tablespoonful of water as quick emttic for emergencies. purchased c dozen tablets but the druggist put a Poison" label on the phial. Would it be safe to give this to a child 1M years old? (M. B.
 Answer-The emetic as suggested Is perfectly safe for infants of any age. If one-grain tablets are not available, let your druggist prepare 8 solution of two grains of copper sulfate in one fluid ounce vial of water-label it Copper sulfate, En- ergency E1netic, Dose for infant one tablespoonful (one-half of the .ounce). Such solution in pure water keeps indefinitely. U. s. P. gives does of copper sulfate as emetic as five grains, repeated in fifteen min- utes if necessary, but not oftener than once.

CALCIUM METABOLEsNE IN
 ARTHRTTIs

From careful study of the recent literature of medicine, biological chemistry and metabolism I find it impossible to draw any definite or convincing conclusion concerning the role of calcium (lime) in the ills called rheumatism. At present there is no telling whether the faulty calcium metabolism-short- age in the supply of calcium in food, water or medicine, or failure to as- simulate 1t or deficient oxidation and utilization of calcium in the blood and tissues-no telling whether this faulty calcium lnetabolisn, SO conn monly found in chronic so-called rheumatoid or hypertrophic or atro- phi arthritis and in bursitis as well, is a causative factor or merely one of the manifestations or effects of the ailment.
 I'm sorry about this, for I did hope, from the way things were shaping up, that we might soon have in the newer knowledge of calcium metabolisn key to the riddle of rheumatism, a key that might free many sufferers who are more or less handicapped or dis abled by arthritis or bursitis.
 Bursitis, if you happen to won- der, is inflammation of a lubricatine pad, such as tennis elbow, house. maids knee or most familiar and most painful in the early weeks frozen shoulder" Calcification in or about the bursa (Shoulder) bur- sitis. In bursitiS, at any rate, 1t would seem that the calcification iS Q manifestation or effort of the in- fiammation or infection, but frank ly we cannot be sure about that.
