QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

II. l.: How could you tell IL
YOU were getting tuberculosis?
What would be the main symp-
toms and do they always show
up? What is meant by the skin
test.
Answer: The most important
point 10 realize about tubercu-
losis is that il may advance
without any symptoms or warn
ing. The earliest symptoms are
afternoon fatigue. afternoon
fever. slight. steady loss Of
weight. splitting blood, chronic
cough and pleurisy-but all too
frequently none Of them show
tip. The skin tuberculin test
will detect the disease. but only
in childhood. Every adult Of 20
should have chest X-ray
which detects 90 per cent OF
cases.
c. R: What is FrohlichS syn
drome. Is il durable?
Answer: Frohlich's syndrome
Is a disturbance of the pituitary
gland. occurring in childhood.
The principal features are over
weight and. as the patients ma
ture. lack of normal hair
growth. II can he treated with
extracts Of the gland.

DEAREST Mother and Dad
~ Almost three and a half
weeks and no mail. l hope my
letters are coming through 10
you an right. Things are fine
here and I'm getting used 10
being called sergeant. Last
Saturday night we had an
office party. Our WAC officers
were hostesses and they even
had steak for us. We had a lot
of good records and we played
them all TO exhaustion.
Whee-just got my first mail
from you in ages. Some war
weary mail clerk rerouted our
mail and they had to chase il
all over North Africa before we
got it. As usual. now that the
warm weather is here I'm feel
ing better and better. The alta
brine is a substitute for quiz
nine. but I'm used 10 il now
and il doesn't bother me any
more.

The person who asked this
question had been told that
flashlights would cause cataract,
especially in children.
There is no foundation for
such a belief. Long exposure
10 high degree OF infra-red
or ultraviolet light is the only
form OF light or heat which will
cause cataract.
Exposure TO very bright light
paralyzes the retinal tissue as in
snow blindness. But the short
exposure Of the flashlight does
no harm.

because the canning can be done
more quickly. But" says Gladys
Kimbrough, Home Service Director
of Ball Brothers Company, who
heartily approves using pressure
cooker whenever possible, "the time
is at hand when we must be practi-
cal. Don't worry if you can't buy a
pressure cooker for surely you can
find wash boiler, lard can, baby
bath tub or some deep container in
which water can be boiled. Tack a
few strips of wood together to make
rack or platform to hold the jars
about one-haf inch from the bottom
Of the container. Find something,
even if it has to be a board, to use
as lid. Then you will have a water

lowed. The water should be brought
to boiling as quickly as possible and
kept boiling steadily throughout the
canning period.
ANY jar suitable for use in home
canning (and only those with names
lettered on them are suitable) may
be used for water-bath processing.
Mason jars may be scaled with one
piece zinc cap and rubber-if you
can find the caps-with glass top
seal, or with two-piece vacuum seal
caps. Glass top seal closures and
vacuum caps seal on the top edge
of the jar, therefore it is necessary
to make sure the top edges of the
jars are even, smooth, and perfect
in every respect. The bands are
screwed down tight on the vacuum
seals as soon as the jars are filled to
within from one to one-half inch of
the top, and should not be frightened
again. Zinc caps are screwed down
on the rubber and then loosened
slightly. Bands for glass top seals
are screwed down and then loos-
ened. This Tightening and loosening
is called partly sealing and should
always be done before jars are
placed in Gamer. Seals are COM
pleted by Tightening caps or bands
Immediately after processing.
'Then there is the jar with
glass lid and rubber ring held in
place with wires-it is ideal for can
ming, especially when fitted with
high tension, stretch proof, steel
wire. 1t is partly sealed before and
completely sealed after processing.
"Those who select vegetables that
are young, tender, and right out of
the garden, and waste no time in
washing them clean, cooking them
five to ten minutes, and pouring into
clean, hot jars and processing i'm
mediately, will live to laugh at those
who say it can't be done. 1t is the
Cans, not the Cants, who are going
to win the war on both home and
battle front"

TO THE EDITORS:

AN ARTICLE entitled City
"A Plans Big Street Repairs
tells us that the department OF
public welfare completed a pro-
gram TO repair quite a large
number of streets, but our Belle
Isle is forgotten. :,
Belle Isle is rare natural
beauty and pleasure for the
automobile drivers, horseback
riders, tennis players. etc, but
for the pedestrian II is discom-
fort.
From the bridge TO the menag-
erie there were nice paths. but
neglect completely destroyed
them. For the last two summers
while driving, I met groups OF
people of all ages walking on the
driving roads.
I suggest that our city coun-
cilmen order the reconstruction
of all old destroyed walking
paths and construct new ones
where necessary.
Also 10 construct at least two
eieht-feet wide walking paths
for pedestrians from the road
east of the menagerie TO the
farthest east point OF the park.
and two similar paths north and
south through the forest. All
streets around and through the
park should be named by names
or numbers.
