NO TEA-AND-TOAST FOR
GRANDPA

War has brought the health pro-
blems of the middle-aged and the eld-
erly into the lime light.
Not just humanitarianism but stern
necessity prompts the doceors of Min
nesota to give their special attention
during December to ways and means Of
keeping oldsters on the jobs that young
men and women have vacated for the
war. In fact, the health of the older
citizen will grow instead of diminish
in Importance, even after the war, as
more and more people live beyond the
60 mark
The doctors campaign will center on
better nutrition for the elderly as one
Of the most important and the most
neglected of ways to keep them well
and on the job. When the aches and
| qualms of advancing years show up,
the first thing most people think OF
is indigestion. So they cut down on
their food-usually the very food they
need now mots-and the aches in
crease and infirnity piles up in a
| f1ClO0o CUClC.
A well-balanced diet containing all
of the mineral and vitamins and plenty
of proteins is as important in age as
it Is in youth though the amount eaten
should often be less of the sugars and
starches The tea-and-toaSt era for
oldsters went out when grandma ceased
to wear caps and sit in the chimney
corner.
v. M. Should a person whose blood
pressure Is from ITO to 180 take any
exercise?
| Ans. A person with high blood pres
sure should not usually refrain from
exercise; but his exercise should be
| carefully limited to the milder ac-
tivities such as walking, and he should
certainly avoid any sudden or strenu-
Gus exertion.
r. A. It the continued use of de-
pilatory dangerous? Will it lead to
| cancer?
Ans. People with sensitive skins
sometimes develop inflammatory reac-
tions from depilatories, which may, in
severe cases, lead to soaring. Cancer
is a theoretic possibility as an END
result but certainly not common.
