WHAT IT MEANS:
Tropical Disease,
Among Veterans
By vERN HAUGLAND

WASHINGTON = An authority
on tropical diseases says a million
Americans who don't really look i'll
are suffering from some ailment
picked up during military service
in the tropics.
Many of them, says DR.. d. Thorn
as Nfackie, Winston-Salem, N. c.
have been told by their puzzled doc
tors that they have malaria or are
psychoneurotic. On the other
hand, he says thousands of veterans
are wrongfully collecting compen-
sation for malaria attacks. He says
what little malaria they really
have is a simple, domestic disease,
mild and no more troublesome than
cold.
Two of the ailments the GPs
brought home from the Pacific ISL
ands, the CHI theater and the
Middle East-amcebic dysentry
and hoOkwOrm-are a real threat
to u. S. Public Health, Mackie said
in an interview. OF veterans treated
at his school of tropical medicine
he says 81 percent had parasitic in
feetons, of which 36 per cent were
amoebic dysentery and 1015 per-
cent hOokworm.
"Amoebic dysentery is very
dangerous, and there is never a re.
cOvery without medical treatment, ,
Maclxie says. II have seen an enor.

From Soup 70 Nuts


Here at last-after a long and
wearisOme winter-is the glorious
sum mertime. Glorious, we repeat,
because all the earth is at it's best
when the warm sun and rain bring
forth green grass and myriads Of
colorful flowers. And the good tast-
ing fruits and vegetables!
Corn on the cob, snap beans, red
tomatoes. UmmmTnm. That reminds
us that just the other day we were
discussing with a friend food of our
childhood and what the sight of a
fresh tomato in winter would have
done to our mothers eyes. Other
fresh product that modern trans
portation has since made possible
would have ben too much of a
shock to her.
Since we were lads other things
have changed, too, in the culinary
department for back then winter
menus knew little but the results
of mothers summer canning. Re
cipes were hand-me-downs or from
the church cook book or the "pincl
of this and that" method Nov
homemakers can get cook books OF
practically any type of food from
food manufacturers. Best Foods
for example, who make real mayon
naise, among other products, offeri
its booklet From Soup to Nuts
with recipes for the various way
real mayOnnaise can be used il
cookery.
But back to the good OF sum
mertime-we still prefer our fruit
and vegetables fresh off the vine
And right now wen take a salad o
lettuce, cucumbers and red, red to
Ematoes topped with mayonnaise!
