Reduction In Diet
Often Augurs Disease.
By DR SOPHIA BRUNSON
At preaant, the foolUh fad
unoA| young women of reducing
the itiet below the requirement*
of the body, in order to acquire ?
stylish-like slimness, predisposes
them to wasting diseases such as
tuberculosis. Sufficient food pro
vide* reserves of energy. If the
diet la too poor (or the need* of
the body, the tiwuea are attack
ed and weakened, thus one who
i* undernourished (alb a ready
prey to wasting disease*.
One would not try to run an
automobile without su((icient oil
and gasoline, yet some young
girl* are not eating enough *ub
(tantial food to keep their bod
ies in health, because their favor
ite feminine movie stars are so
thin that you can count all the
bones in their necks.
Give your body good (uel in
abundance, so that it will be equ
al to the demands of everyday
li(e without deatroying its own
tissues, and planting the seeds of
tuberculosis.
Vitamin A help* to prevent an
infection, and you know that is
what tuberculosis is. This vita
min i* found in foods such as
green beans, the leaves o( plants,
meata such' as liver, eggs, milk
and butter.
Our present day educational
system accounts (or many break
downs among the students. The
pace is not only too rapid in
school but continuous social acti
vities do not allow boys and girls <
sufficient time for much needed 1
rest and relaxation. They have
quite enough to keep them busy
without belonging to social clubs

Tuberculosis is acquired by con
tact with one who has the disease
in a communicable form. There
are types of the disease that are
not danferous to others. It can
be acquired by drinking the milk
uf tubercular cows, therefore, It
Is slways safer to pasteurize the
milk beforeu sing it.
There Is not much excuse to
day for a boy or a girl to become
ill from tuberculosis, without the
knowledge that the germs were
present in his body long before
the breakdown. If. he was in con
tact with a sufferer from the dis
ease, it can be suspected in him.
He should be given the tuberculin
test, and if he reacts to II, then
he should be X-rsyed. In many
cases the X-ray will show 'up
minute tubercular areas tbst can
be detected in no other way. It
it progresses, it may be five or
ten years before he becomes ser
iously ill. But discovered in time,
the disease may be arrested.
About Your Home
By FRANCES DELL
Choosing the right doors for
your home is not always as easy
an you may first think. Study the
various types of doors before you
remodel or build. There are three
important things a door should
fit besides its opening? your bud
get, the function to be performed
and the style of your home.
The raised panel door Is avail
able In many types and style*.
Georgian and Colonial are in the
most common use. A raised-panel
door strongly accent, the entr
ance to a large home. For use in
side, the panels ean be thinner.
Recessed paneling in the op
posite of raised paneling. It Is us
ed slmost exclusively on Interior
doors. Being simple in design, K
costs considerably less than a
raised -paneled door. The effect
larks the richness of raised panel
ing, however.
In contemporary design, the
trend is towsrd simplicity. From
this trend has come the slab door.
This type goes perfectly with the
modern and contemporary home.
Dutch doors have long been a
great favorite. They are built in
two sections ? upper and lower.
The top can bo opened while the
bottom half stays closed. They
arc available in almost any de
sign. Convenient spots for their
use are between kitchen and din
ing terrancc, door to children's
bedrooms or between kitchen and
dining room.
French doors can give a feel
ing of spaciousness inside the
house. They are attractive lead
ing to a porch or terrace.
Louvered doors will provide
ventilation and privacy. They
help keep clothes fresh when
used on closets by providing a
changc in air. Their one draw
back is that they don't shut out
any noise.
Accordion doors serve as a tem
porary partition between living
room and dining areas, etc.
Swinging doors are used almost
exclusively between kitchen and
dining rooms because of their
ease of operation.
Sliding doors are space-savers
and are being used widely in new
homes.
Beef prices continue to decline
as supplies increase.
Save More Pigs,
Says Farm Agent
firmen can greatly improve
their 1M1 pork profit outlook if
they will follow five proven step*
to live more pic*. L E. Tuckwil
ler, Watauga county farm agent
for the Bute College Extension
Service, asaerts.
Noting that about 75 per cent
of all baby pig losses occur be
fore the weaning age, Mr. Tuck
willer stresses that precautionary
steps in the first few weeks after
farrowing will pay big dividends.
The five points suggested for
swine producers are:
1. Balanced rations for the sow
while she is building her unborn
litter. The proper rations will
mean stronger baby pigs and ?
better pig survival rate.
2. Clean hog lots, and good
ranitation around farrowing pens.
The sow and litter should be mov
ed to clean ground as soon as
weather permits. This will reduce
the danger from parasites and
disease germ*.
3. Keep quarters warm, dry,
and well ventilated. Keep some
clean aods in the pens to prevent
baby pig anemia.
4. Watch the aow's diet after
farrowing. Few solids should be
fed in the 30 hours after farrow
ing, and the sow should be re
turned to the regular ration slow
ly.
9. Keep a sharp lookout for
sickly pigs and any disease symp
toms. If diseaae appears, get a
prompt diagnosis - to prevent its
spread through the herd. Have
pigs vaccinated against cholera
and also against erysipelas in
areas where that disease is a
threat.
WRONG FERTILIZER
Waco, Texas. ? Anticipating her
spring garden, Mrs. Burman
Black bought a sack of commer
cial fertilizer and stored it in the
garage. At the first opportunity,
?he carefully mixed the fertilizer
with the soil in her garden, plant
ed her seed and gave it all a good
soaking. The next morning, her
gardes- had the permancncy of an
airport runway ? she had used ce
ment, which her husband had put
in the garage instead of fertilizer.
NEW NAME NEEDED
Providence, R. I. ? The City
Council, at the request of the Im
perial Knife Company, changiid
tha name of Blount Street to Im
perial Place. The head of the
knife company said too many
people listed his knife company
as being located on "Blunt" street.
EASTER SEALS CHAIRMAN?
Brandon Hodges, State treasurer,
who Is appealing for generous
support of the Easter Seal cam
paign to be conducted throughout
the state March 5-April 9. He is
state chairman of this year's cam
paign.
Moisture Gted
As Home Menace
Did you know that doing the
laundry for a family of four can
create over four pounds of moist
ure vapor in the air? What's
more, drying this wash inside the
house can cause the moisture va
por content of the air to increase
by more than 28 pounds. Other
daily chore! around the house al
so add to this moisture load
Shower baths, dish washing and
cooking all throw more and more
moisture into the air in varying
amounts.
In the winter time, when win
dows are closed, this moisture
seeks to escape through the walls
and ceiling of your house and
may have a destructive effect on
the wall materials. It encourages
the growth of organisms which
cause dry rot and mold. Natural
ly, the value of the house depre
ciates as the deadly moisture
goes on its destructive way. The
simplest answer to the problem
of internal moisture is ventila
tion. An exhaust fan in the kitch
en or attic can work wonders.
Ventilating louvres in the attic
will allow the moisture vapor to
cscape, and the slight opening of
a window in the bathroom after
bathing or taking a shower will
do away with the heavy load of
vapor which is created in the
bathroom.
