programs. they've become used to
listening to one or another. and they

explaining why they dislike
such programs, say It's because
Of moral, not morale, reasons.
As 10 usually the case. the survey
revealed more likes and dislikes
than suggestions. Not even the ones
who don't care much for radio at

the rural people who have radios
cannot think Of any type of pro-
gram they'd Like to hear more Of
than the ones they listen to and
when suggestions are offered, they
are scattered over such q wide
field, it's hard to put a finger on any
one type Of program which Is be-
ing neglected. In other words, there
don't seem to be any important
specific discrepancies between what
the rural listener wants and needs
-. and what he's getting.

Diarrhea Still
Ranks Too High
Among Infants
b. HERMAN BuNDEsEN. N. D

By HERMAN BUNDESEN, M. !
IN MANY parts Of this country,
diarrhea in infants still ranks far
too high as a cause Of illness ana
death. Yet, not only have methods
of preventing these conditions
been discovered but also new aids
in their treatment.
Diarrhea, Of course, Is only q
symptom and may be produced in
infants In many ways. For ex-
ample, infections In almost any
part of the body, such as In the
tonsils or in the ears may be ae-
eompanied by diarrhea. Fever is
often q cause.
Acid In Stomach
II would appear, according 70
DR.. Merl J. Carson Of North Caro-
lima, that these conditions cause
decrease in the acid in the stom-
seh, thus permitting certain germs
to get through the stomach into
the bowel and produce inhamn1a-
ton and diarrhea. Diarrhea may
also be caused by improper feed
ing Of the baby and by certain
medicines. 1t may be due to con-
tamination Of the food by germs,
that is, food poisoning. 1t may
come on as a result Of infection
with dysentery germs, the ameba,
typhoid and paratyphoid germs.
Then there Is a condition known
as epidemic diarrhea Of the new
born, the exact cause Of which has
not been discovered. II is thought
that II may be due to a virus, that
is, an organism so small that It
can pass through the openings in
a porcelain filter.
Outbreaks Of this disorder often
occur in newborn nurseries in hos
Ditals. Sometimes, diarrhea may
develop because Of over-sensitivity
on the part of the infant to some
food which he eats.
Protection of Food
Among the important proven
tive measures against disrrhea In
older infants is the protection Of
the food and milk from contamina-
ton and spoilage, giving the in
FAINT plenty Of fluids at all times,
avoiding overlooking and making
sure that all water which is given
Is safe.
In treating any diarrhea, 1t is
important to give plenty of fluids,
TO get rid Of the cause Of the con-
dition, If possible, and to put the
y baby on the proper feeding sched-
ule. Fluids may be supplied by in
lection Of various solutions into a
vein, such as 5 TO 10 per cent. glu-
eose solution or injection under
the skin Of salt solutions.
Daily injections Of these fluids
may be necessary until the diar-
rhea subsidies. In treating the in.
lection within the bowel, the sui
fonamide drugs known as sulfa-
guanadine and succinylsulfathi-
azole are valuable. Sulfadiazine as
well as sulfathiazole are effective
in treating infections elsewhere in
the body.
OF course, the treatment for
diarrhea should be started prompt
ly. since the longer it progresses
the more fluids the child win lose
from the body and the more Sc
we're the condition will become.

But the raul0 entnusias1 among

without access to daily newspapers
or telephones.
Rural people have four very def.
