Nervous Loss Of Appetite
The loss of appetite due to some
unpleasant emotional experience is
something »hich every one has at
‘one ume or another suffered. Us
ually. however, this is a transitory I
condition, and the appetite returns 1
in time. -There are certain cases,1
t)0Wcver, in which the loss of appe-1
tlte persists and the individual so j
ailected is in grave danger of los
ing his health and even his life.
This condition in its gravest form
is called anorexia nervosa. It was
first described by Sir William Gull
jn 1868 and defined by him as “a
peculiar form of disease occurring
mostly in young women and char
acterized by extreme emaciation.”
The extreme form of this condi
tion is comparatively rare, but mild
(ijscs are frequently encountered. It
is important, therefore, that the
mechanism of this disturbance be
fecognized, for with early and
prompt treatment the Individual
may be spared the evil effects of
the chronic starvation.
The anorexia, that is, the loss of
appetite, may be considered the
symptom, and the nervosa element
the underlying cause of the condi
tion Treatment must be aimed at
both.
In general, the initiating factors
of the disease are of a psychologic
nature. The patient is commonly a
young woman who has probably
experienced some deep emotional
crisis. This may have been a disap
pointing love affair, a broken en
gagement, a secret and frustrated
attachment to some older woman,
excessive preoccupation with home
difficulties or failure in school
work. Contributing factors may be
physical illness, serious surgical op
eration, overwork and deliberate
starvation in order to lose weight.
In a number of cases there is also
present the evidence of hereditary
emotional'instability and bad men
tal hygiene.
In a small percentage of cases
the anorexia nervosa is a form of
asceticism self-imposed as punish
ment for imagined guilt. In the vast
majority of cases the sufferers are
found to be organically sound. They
do not show evidence of any chro
nic disease such as tuberculosis or
of serious endocrine disturbances.
The patients are active, mentally
alert, indeed, are frequently of the
overactive and Intellectually keen
types.
A direct attack on the lack of ap
petite seldom brings good results.
The patients cannot be teased or
nagged into eating more. But a
careful and competent psychiatric'
study of the patient frequently;
brings to light the underlying dif- I
Acuities and by instituting the nec- j
e.ysary environmental changes asj
well as by helping the patient to ^
unravel her difficulties, the loss of j
appetite may be overcome.

Irrigation Funds
Lift India’s Crop
And Provide Cash
DELHI—Indian irrigation schemes
which have cost in all 15 crores of
rupees ($500,000,000) are estimated
to be now producing crops to the
annual value of 10 crores.
The Marquis of Unlithgow, the
Governor General, at the opening
meeting of the Central Board of
Irrigation recently held here, laid
great stress upon the incidental or
indirect benefits which irrigation
and its extension are producing in
India.
Productive Investment
On some of the canals direct
payments for water represent a re
turn of more than 4 per cent. There
are other works on which the re
turn derived from the agriculturist
for the purchases of water does
not by itself provide an economic
return upon the capital at charge.
These works are justified because
of their value as protection against
famine. But the water rates charg
ed on the whole of the irrigation
systems throughout the land make
a good average return upon capital.
In the direct sense, expenditure
upon irrigation is thus productive.
Provides Employment
Much of the food produced In
India is of low nutritive value. It
is recognized that some of the best
food crops are produced under ir
rigation. Vast areas of wheat In the
richest wheat - growing provinces
are thus watered. Another aspect of
irrigation is its value in relation to
unemployment. Every new irriga
tion canal provides employment to
it miKt* xiuiiikn.1 ui tiuw»oivia.
Irrigation * projects are seldom
executed unless they come within
the definition of "a productive
work,” namely, one which can with
in 10 years of completion and af
ter paying interest charges and
running expenses, show a return of
at least 6 per cent on the capital
invested.
TALK
TO
PARENTS
A College To Fit
By BROOKE PETERS CHURCH
AH schools—especially all colleg
es—are not necessarily suited to ev
ery child.
John, who is fully developed both
mentally and socially, who has a
strong physique and is embtionally
stable, may do very well in a big
university where the individual is
thrown more or less on his own re
sources.
Sam, who is ready for college,
but whose brain has grown faster
than his body, w'ho has little social
sense and is emotionally immature,
might be better off in a smaller
college.
Mary, who has never met boys
and is just beginning to take an
interest in them, might be all right
in a girls’ college. Or she might
profit by the contacts of a co-edu
cational institution.
Evety child must be separately
considered. Just because the family
has always gone to Yale or Vassar
is no reason to suppose that all the
children will do equally well in
those schools. Tradition is a very
poor guide in choosing schools.
Of course it would be ideal if a
child’s brains, body, social sense
and emotions kept pace with one
another. But even the most care
ful, scientific upbringing will not
assure this. Many children can pass
all their preparatory examinations
at 16 or even 15, and in all re
spects except the intellectual, re
main mere children. To throw such
a child s/jddenly into the freedom
U1 Uic U1C Ui a --J —
frequently unwise. Their depend
ence on home and guidance should
he broken more gradually. Especial
ly is this true of girls.
Sometimes a year abroad or in a
junior college will help tide the
child over and teach him to stand
on his own feet. In any event, the
choice of his college should be the
result of careful thought, not mere
ly a matter of family tradition or
casual acceptance.

Love’s Great Power

School Lesson for Dee. 20.
Devotional Reading: John
15:12-17.
• •
“rT'HE Greatest Thing in the
World” is what Henry
Drummond called Paul’s eulogy
of love in the 13th chapter of 1
Corinthians a few years ago.
That title was well chosen, foi
love is indeed just that. Here
in t^jr lesson it is called the su
preme gift, and there is real sig
nificance in this title. Love is,
first of all, a gift.
Years ago, a skeptical young
critic whose own attitude was
one of kindliness and goodness,
but who was in a mood to find
faults in current religion, said
to me as he quoted lines from
Leigh Hunt's poem, "Abou ben
Adhem”: “Christianity starts
with love to God, a very illogical
procedure.” 1 think he quoted
also the words of John, “If a
man love not his brother, whom
he hath seen, how can he love
God, whom he hath not seen?"
My reply to him was that
whatever might be the defects in
current Christianity, true Chris
tianity started neither with love
to God, nor with love to man,
but with the love of God.
• • •
IF love is indeed a fact, it is
1 in the universe. It was there
before we came into the world.
God is love, and love is God’s
gift to man.
Love is like the sun that
shines upon us; it is like the air
we breathe. It is not something
that we create, but it is some
thing that we take and receive
This distinction may seem
merely one of words and theory,
but it really is important, be
cause it has to do with the essen
tial character and supremacy ol
love. It means little tor a man
to love hi: neighbor as himself,
if he has no real love for him
self. If a man is a drunkard, or
a sneax, or h uuci, or u, wmi
out being any of these things,
he is a weakling, it does not
mean very much that he should
love his neighbor as himself.
But when a man has dis
covered the love of God, when,
with all his being, he has turned
to God, and has returned that
love with all his heart and soul
and mind and strength, to love
his neighbor as himself becomes
the greatest thing that h§ could
possibly do. '
So it is that the writer here
in 1 John sets the matter forth
logically, and in its true founda
tion.
We ought to love one another
because love is of God. If God
so loved us, we ought also to love
one another
The man who lives in the sun
shine and cares nothing whether
other people live in dark,
gloomy, and unsightly hovels is
a poor specimen of humanity.
God’s sunshine has done very
little for him, yet that is almost
an exact illustration of the situa
tion of a loveless man.
• • •
f OVE is not a matter of mere
sentiment, or a kindly feel
ing. When it really lays hold of
a man’s life, it becomes the de
termining motive of all that he
thinks and says and does.
It enlarges his life, and gives
him a new conception of his
world and his fellow man. This
is suggested in the current lesson
by the power of love to cast out
fear.
Do we need any commentary
on that? If so, we should find
it in the lives of those who have
particularly manifested the glory
of love.
Think, If you will, of the men
and the women who have loved
their fellow men. Are not their
lives the lives that most truly
tell of strength and courage?
They have lived above fear, as
they have lived above selfishness
and meanness.
