question of whether such re-
quirements exist in most juris-
.dictions, or if they are peculiar
to the Bay State.
According to a summary of
State adoption laws compiled
by the Council of State Gov
Iernments, nine States have re.
Iligious requirements in their
adoption statutes.
OF these, the requirements in
Delaware. Massachusetts,. New
York and Rhode Island appear
to be the most strict. AS a rule
Delaware does not permit adop-

ton unless at least one Of the
adopting parents is of the same
religious faith as the child; the
other three States require SINH
larity of religious faith insofar
as possible.
Pennsylvania's law is not far
different, and those of New Jer-
sey and Michigan require the
matter be given "due regard"
In Illinois and Maryland the re-
ligious faiths of all parties is
made a part of the record, pre-
sumably for consideration by the
court.
Many welfare workers dislike
such requirements. They feel
that matters work out better if

Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-08-12
BY CHARLES G. BROOKS

Many doctors are rejecting the
new dextrose diet that has been
adopted by American women as
few diet fads have been before.
Women in the Washington
area, as in other cities. pounced
on this new fad as soon as they
read the magic formula in last
months issue Of a women's mag
aZine.
The physicians contend that
the dextrose diet, described by
the magazine as a fabulous
formula diet is dangerous be-
cause it is not carried out under
medical supervision.
A survey of local drug whole
Balers and retailers showed that
when the magazine came out last
month there was a sudden, surge
in demand for dextrose, which is
sometimes used in baby formulas.
Actually, many drugstores had
given up carrying it and whole
salers stocked little.
Syrup Is Substitute
Then women suddenly found
out--thankS to a heavy adver-
tising campaign = that markets
carried a syrup which can be
used INTERCHANGEABLE with dex-
trose. And it's cheaper. The
sales of dextrose leveled off, the
druggists say.
Although all doctors contacted
this past week refuse to recon-
mend this diet, some differ as
to why.
One prominent local general
practitioner is veh e m n t Y
against it. He pointed Out that
the formula is dextrose, evapo-
rated milk, corn oil and water
mixed to provide about 20 ounces
per day totaling some 900 calor-
les.
This. he declared, is a con-
centration of over so per cent
fats. about 40 per cent more
than is usually recommended fcx
the dieting person.
Danger Cited
The evaporated milk is high
In fatty content, and the corn
oil or vegetable Oils full of
substances which increase the
blood's choleSterol content. This
is believed by medical research
ers to be an important factor
In causing atheroSclerosis-the
hardening of the arteries in the
heart-and subsequent heart at
tackS.
1t is. he added, made to order
for future gall bladder trouble,
liver diseases and other ailments.
Persons from 80 to As years are
in the gall bladder trouble age,
he said. Women in this bracket,
he continued, are dieting more
than women younger or older.
Another physician pointed out
that the formulas lack of vita
minis and amino acid makes it
dangerous over a period of time.
1t will. he said, take weight
off quickly, but it doesn't &C
custom the person to a low
calorie program afterwards. Peo-
pie generally build back up. Il
would never recommend it,"
Diet Spread Quicl ly
DR.. Vincent P. Dole, member
of the Rockefeller Institute, and
other researchers originated the
diet in an experiment with low
protein meals for scientific pur-
poses. Later the lay publications
siezed upon it and the diet
spread like wildfire.
Doctors are unanimous IN
agreeing that the obese person
