BARTON © Bell Syndicate.—WNU Service. ONE of the tragic results of reducing weight too rapidly either by reducing the amount of food eaten or by taking one or more of the “obesity cures” is to find that when the desired weight has been reached the loss of weight continues. With this continuous loss of weight oth er alarming symptoms ap pear—loss of appetite, nerv ousness, trembling of the limbs, sleeplessness and rapid heart beat, until finally the severe form of goiter— exophthalmic goiter or Grave’s disease—develops. Some years ago research in the Lahey clinic, Boston, reported a/ number or cases la which Grave’s dis ease resulted from the use of thyroid extract to induce weight. Dr. J. H. Means, president of the American College of Physicians, Boston, and his associates. Drs. S. Heitz and J. -—-German, in tne An Dr. Barton nals of Internal Medicine, record 35 cases of goiter following loss of weight. In 14 of these cases the loss of weight before the goiter symp toms occurred was due to the re ducing cures. Symptoms and Diet. Dr. Means and his associates warn physicians and patients against too vigorous reducing cures for overweight. And in cases where operation for goiter is found nec essary that the patient be built up as much as possible before opera tion. The general symptoms of this loss of weight are general weakness, loss of muscle tissue, thinning of the blood, weakening of the heart mus cle and loss of morale or ambition. To correct the condition the fol lowing diet suggestions should be followed: (a) Plenty of starch foods —bread, potatoes, sugar; (b) plenty of foods rich in vitamins and min erals—milk, cream, butter, cheese, leafy vegetables, tomatoes, oranges; (c) plenty of fat foods—butter, cream, egg yolk. Meat and white of eggs—animal proteins—are not considered advis able, as they "speed up” the body processes and may prevent gain in weight. • • • Need for Exercise. Years ago when it was found that rest, fresh air, and rich nutritious food would halt the progress of tu berculosis, it was not unusual to see these patients return to their homes, plump, with a good color, and apparently perfectly well. In a few months or even weeks it was noticed that this weight was grad ually being lost, that the appetite was poor, and the cough was re turning. Another stay in the sana torium then become necessary. The loss of weight and strength in many of these cases was due to the fact that the individual did not fol low the method of living taught him in the sanatorium; he became care less about his rest periods, food, and the outdoors. In the majority of cases the loss of weight and strength and the return of the symp toms of tuberculosis were due to the fact that the patient had rested almost entirely at the sanatorium and had taken no exercise whatever. Thus when he returned home and attempted to do some physical work, there was no strength in muscles, heart, and lungs, and the relapse followed. “Serbia,” Not “Servla” “Serbia” is the accepted English form of the name of the Balkan kingdom which became part of Jugoslavia after the World war. Be fore the outbreak of the war “Ser via” was the favored spelling of this name in America. In fact, on February 2, 1897, the United State* geographic board adopted that spell ing and it was followed by the De partment of State. But "Servia" was objectionable to the inhabitants of that country because of its anal ogy with Latin "servus,” meaning slave, and because the Slavic spell ing of the name in Latin charac ters is "Srba” or “Srbija.” Ac cordingly, on March 3, 1915, the geo graphic board reversed its earlier decisions in favor of “Serbia.” Military Salutes All of the various military salute*. Including the fascist revival of the old Roman salute, may be traced back to the purpose of showing that the hand was empty and therefore harmless. The open hand show* there is nothing concealed and it therefore invites trust, confidence or respect of the other party. Even gua salutes in olden times left the sa luting ship helpless until the gua could be reloaded, an appreciabla time with the old muzzle loader*. The dipping of a ship’s sails in sa lute left the ship helpless for a time.,
