CHILD HEALTH STUDY

Questionnaires are now being mail
ed by the Maryland State Study of
Child Health Services to all practic-
ing physicians (2275) and dentists
(750) in tke State of Maryland.
These questionnaires are being used
to collect data from physicians and
dentists describing the extent of their
activities in child health care. Data
is also being obtained from hospitals
and other agencies furnishing child
health care The information thus OBJ
tanned will enable interested individ-
uals and groups to know the needs of
their ckild patients and thus to be in
position to decide what should be
done to meet these needs.
The Maryland Study of Child
Health Services is part of nation
wide Study sponsored by the Ameri-
can Academy of Pediatrics. All pedia-
tricians in Maryland are playing an
active part in the State study. DR.. ID.
C. Wharton Smith is State Chairman
and DR.. Walter M. Tasem and DR..
Eta Link are Executive Secretaries.
The purpose of the Study is to pre-
pare "to make available to all
mothers and children in the United
States all essential preventive, dag
nostic and curative medical services
of high quality which used in coop
Grafton with other services for child
ren will make this country an ideal
place for children to grow into re-
sponsible citizens"
The Study in Maryland has been
approved by the Medical and Chirur-
gical Faculty, the Maryland State
Dental Society, Maryland Tuberculo-
sis Association, the National Founda-
ton for Infantile Paralysis, the State
Health Department, and the Balti-
more City Health Department.
Nationally the Study is approved
by te American Medical Association,
American Dental Association, Amer
lean Society of Dentistry for Child
ren, National Medical Association,
National Foundation for Infantile
Paralysis, Field Foundation, and the
National tuberculosis Association.

Sugar Substitutes

Home economists point out that J
pound of granulated sugar measures
21/6 cups; brown, ga cups; and con-
fectioners' 225 cups. In the quanti-
ties used in most recipes, however,
these weight differences are not OF
great Importance. Either brown or
confectioners' sugar may be usec
measure for measure for granulat
ed sugar in puddings, pie filings and
baked custards. For plain OF fruit
favored ice creams, powdered sug
ar may be used; and for chocolate,
mocha, or butterscotch, brown sug
ar is satisfactory. When brown sug-
ar is used in cakes, it is advisable
to use a recipe especially planned
for it, because sugar greatly infu-
ences cake texture. Since texture
of cookies depends more on amount
of sugar than kind, either brown or
confectioners' sugar may be substi-
tuted for granulated in the same
proportion.

OLD-AGE AND SURVIVORS
INSURANCE BENEFITS

AS of July /, 1916, the Social Sc
curity Board was making monthly
benefit payments under tie Old-Age
and Survivors Insurance program to
PIP men, women and children in
this area, totaling $345,0S1.7S a
month.
These figures were released by
Mr.. William M. Donlin, manager of
the Baltimore field Office of the Social
Security Board. This Office serves
Baltimore City and the counties of
Anne Arundel, Baltimore, Cecil, Har-
ford and Howard.
In addition, lump sum awards were
made during the period April 1 to
June 80, 1916, in 649 cases to indi-
viduals not eligible for monthly pay
ments. These payments totaled $685.
3S424.
Mr.. Donlin stated that in Balti-
more City 4,674 beneficiaries are re-
ceiving monthly $276,421.63; in
Anne Arundel 545 beneficiaries are
receiving monthly $20,575.45; in
iOclltlluOlC Souhty G,GOf lCS
receiving monthly S45, 5,572.72; in Ce-
Gil 294 beneficiaries are receiving
monthly $4,9S2.10; in Hartford 254
beneficiaries are receiving monthly
$4,26S.35; and in Howard county
191 bepefciaries are receiving month
ly $3,261.59.
Although these figures represent a
net increase of 6 percent over last
quarter in the unmber of beneficiar-
les, Mr.. Donlin stated that the in
crease is smaller than expected due
to the failure both of persons attain
ing age IS, and survivors of deceas-
ed wage-earners to communicate
with the local Social Security Board
field Office at 80 South Street and dis
cuss the possibility of a claim for
benefits under the Old-Age and Sur
vivors Insuanrce Program.

Chinese Language

The Chinese language has char
acters but not words. Chinese learn
how to say these characters "by
ear" The Chinese words we see
are for the benefit of students of the
Chinese language, to enable them
to give the proper pronunciation.
Sir Thomas Wade (1818-1895), an
Englishman associated with the
British legation in China for many
years, developed a method of pho
netics to aid students in pronounc-
ing the Chinese language. His meth
cd, is based on the Mandarin dia-
lect of Peiping. Four-fifths of the
population of China speak the Man
DARN dialect while the remainder
speaks the Cantonese dialect. Al
present a national language is
taught in the schools of China. baseS
on the Mandarin dialect.

FAT SALVAGE

Ringing up a % percent increase
in collections of used cooking fat in
a contest run during May and June,
the First National Stores, operating
throughout New England and West
chester County, New York, are con-
vinced that aggressive action by the
man behind the counter results in
larger turn-ins of used fats.
First National Stores capitalized
upon the fact that most women know
fat salvage is the only way to allie
viate the soap shortage, and turned
their meat dealers into statesmen for
fat salvage" points out the American
Fat Salvage Committee.
'sPutting aggressive personal sales
manship on top of the fOur-year-old
educational campaign of government
and industry seems to have proved
the extra shove needed to get women
in the habit of scooping, skimming,
and scraping every drop of household
grease, and turning it over to meat
dealers at regular intervals the
Committee states.
First National Stores meat depart
ments competed with each other for
prizes, which were awarded to those
stores securing the largest amount
of used fat per dollar of meat depart
ment sales in the four week period
of the contest.
like 2S percent increase in used
fat collections seems to indicate that
women respond quickly to their meat
dealers urgings to save and turn in
salvaged fats" according to the
American Fat Salvage Committee
"Unless every housewife saves and
turns in her used cooking fats, as
much as months supply of soap in
the course of year may be jeopar-
died. For while the present availa-
bility of soap may be considerably
less than the public would like, it can
only be maintained through the con-
tinued effort of American women in
their Kitchens" concludes the Com
mittee.

down. There must be room for wa
ter to circulate between the pieces
and there should be from ~ to l
inch space between the vegetables
and the top of the jar.
Cover vegetables, after placing in
jars, with water in which they were
boiled or use fresh boiling water.
Use clean salt, add it before or
after the jars are filled, or leave it
out. It is put in for seasoning only.
If air bubbles form, run a knife
down between side of jar and food.
Put the jars in a hot Gamer as
soon as they are filled. Letting them
stand around on the kitchen table in
vites spoilage.
Process all vegetables except to-
matoes, which are really fruit,
in a steam pressure cooker for the
time given in the recipe you are
following. We recommend the use
of a pressure cooker because, when
in good working order and used ac-
cording to instructions, it is by far
the quickest and best way to can
all low-acid vegetables such as
beans, beets, peas, corn, etc. Boil
ing for a long time in water-bath
Gamer is the next best way and is
the one commonly used in the North
Central and Eastern states. Water
bath processed vegetables (does not
mean tomatoes-they are acid and
should be done in water bath)
should never under any circum-
stances be tasted until after they
have been boiled is minutes. The
same is true of those processed in
a steam pressure cooker when there
is the slightest question as to wheth-
er the cooker was in good operat-
ing condition or was operated cor
rectly. The purpose of boil-before-
tasting is to destroy any toxin which
may have developed. The toxin
won't be there to destroy if fresh
produce has been carefully washed,
prepared, packed. and properly
processed. -. ~ l

NEW FARMING SUBSIDY DUE

The Agriculture Department has
announced a 1914, 100000 subsidy
program for 1947 designed to encour-
age farmers to rebuild their soil after
the heavy wartime production drain.
The program was authorized by Con-
gress under the AAA Farm Act of
1897.
Farmers may become eligible for
payments from the fund by adopting
soil and water conservation practices
recommended by state AAA farmer
committees, technical experts of the
department, and by local farmer COM
mittees.
These practices include: Cd Appli-
cation of lime, fertilizers and other
materials; CD planting of cover
corps on land which tends to erode;
CD harvesting of certain legumes
and grass seeds; (4) measures for
controlling erosion and water conser-

Germany Led in Prewar
Output, Use of Nitrogen

The leading preWar producers OF
nitrogen were Germany, Chile, ia
pan and the United States. German
production was nearly three times
that of Chile and in fact slightly eX-
ceeded the combined production OF
Chile, Japan and the United States.
The production of these latter three
varied from each other by less than
10000 tons a year. Germany also
was the largest consumer of chemi-
cal nitrogen; the United States,
Japan and France followed in or
der. German consumption was
about 70 per cent greater than that
of the United States, more than
double that of Japan and nearly 3A
times that of France.
Germany ranked fifth with regard
to the quantity of nitrogen used per
unit area of arabic land and
fourth ON the basis of arabic land
and permanent meadows and pas
lures. Consumers of more nitrogen
than Germany per unit of arabic
land were: The Netherlands, more
than twice as much; the Belgo-Lux-
emburg Economic union, so per
cent more; Japan, about 40 per cent
more; and Egypt, about II per cent
more. Germany in turn used more
than IL times as much nitrogen per
unit of arabic land as the United
States, which ranked 22nd. The
Belgo Luxembourg Economic union,
the Netherlands and japan ex-
ceeded Germany in the use of nitro
gen per unit area of arabic land and
permanent meadows and pastures.
The United States ranked 18th in
this category.

HELPING THE TB PATIENT

Sometimes the family and friends
of a tuberculous patient, with the
best intentions in the world, actually
hinder the patients recovery.
Not understanding the nature OF
the disease or the treatment, they
fail to offer the patient the kind OF
assistance he needs to get well.
The only known cure for tubercu-
losis is rest. Complete bed rest is es-
sential to the person afflicted with
tuberculosis. Such rest is not possible
however, unless the patient is able to
relax both mentally and physically.
All too often the family or friends
fail to grasp the significance of rest
and its importance to the patient.
Even il the patient is in bed, they go
to him with family porblems, prob
lens which may disturb the patient
mentally and make him restless.
They fail to Understand that the wor-
ries they bring to his bedside have
an adverse physical effect on him. His
restlessness, even in bed, places a
strain on tke diseased lung, thereby
retard;ng the healing process.
Often, too, when the patient be-
gins to look better after few weeks
in bed and gains weight, his family
thinks he must be well. Remarks
about his lying in bed when he looks
so we'll may make the patient feel
guilty. Then he is torn between fol-
lowing the doctors advice and get
ting up to please the family.
Families should remember that it
takes time for diseased lung to
Leal. 1t takes time and rest-and
plenty of patience on the part of the
family as well as the ill person. The
doctor does not judge the patients
progress by his outward appearance.
He forms his opinion by certain tests
he makes an bdy studying X-ray pic
lures of the lungs, which reveal
whether the lung is healing or not
The family can help the tubercu-
lous patient greatly by understanding
that he must undergo long period
of inactivity and complete rest, that
he will be unable to obtain real rest
if he is constantly worried. The fam
lily can help the patient by doing
everything possible to make his ad-
justment to a period of inactivity
easy.

a reliable manufacturer on them.
Examine every jar, cap, and lid be-
fore it is used and use according
to the manufacturer instructions.
Be sure pressure cooker and
water-bath Gamers are in perfect
order. Use strictly fresh produce
and use it the day it is mature
enough to cook for immediate serv-
ing. Discard tough, withered, rusty,
wormy vegetables. Wash all prod
uce before breaking or cutting and
wash only enough for one Gamer
load at time.
Don't Lose Time
Waste no time between steps in
gathering, sorting, washing, prepar-
ing, and canning.
Cover prepared vegetables with
boiling water and boil five minutes
(some vegetables, for example
beets and sweet potatoes, require
longer). Pour hot vegetables into
clean hot Jars. Don't cram them
