Hot Weather Menus Which Perk You Up By DR. JAMES W. BARTON (Released by Western Newspaper Union.* THE foods you should eat in large quantities during the summer are fruits and vegetables and fortunately they are in such abundance that they are reason ably priced. If you are a calorie counter and count or measure the number of calories you eat each day, you can safely cut down about 500 calories from your v/inter to your summer diet. As meat, eggs, fish and butte/ may “look” too heavy tor warm Dr. Barton weather, ana saiaas and juicy fruits ap pear and are more appetizing, you may be tempted to lie* entirely on fruit* and salads during the warm weather. This is a mistake and you will find yourself “tired.” be cause the salads and fruits are so bulky they have filled your stomach and satis fled your appetite and yet not enough calories and not enough meat, eggs or fish for rebuilding tissue ha/« been eaten. You have been rightly advised that you need more fruit and leafy vegetables in warm weather than in cold weather, but you are advised also that you should eat “some" meat, fish or eggs once a day. A few of the summer menus which give an all-around diet are: Breakfast—Fruit with milk or cream; a boiled egg and two slices of bacon (or two eggs); bread or roll, tea or coffee. Luncheon—Celery or lettuce soup; canned or fresh fish; cabbage or lettuce salad; berry cake or pud ding; iced tea or coffee. Dinner—Roast beef, or chicken, or fish; potatoes; leafy vegetable, com or peas; berries. Breakfast—Cereal with milk or cream; toast and bacon or bacon and one egg; roll, fruit; tea or coffee. Luncheon — Cream or chicken soup; cottage cheese or cold tongue; salad (lettuce, celery, cucumbers); fresh fruit; wafers or soda biscuits; tea or coffee. Dinner—Fowl, fish, or meat; po tatoes; lettuce and tomato salad; peas or corn or asparagus or squash; berries and cream or iced fruit • • • Removing Objects j From Eye Safely THE commonest object that get* into the eye is a tiny cinder or a speck of dust. As soon as the cinder or speck of dust gets into the eye, the eye be gins to water, which is nature’s way of washing the object down to lower part of eye or into the corner. Just allowing yourself to “cry" for a minute will often bring the object to a point where it can be readily seen and removed by the corner of a clean handkerchief or a piece of tightly rolled gauze. If object is in lower part of eye on eyeball or lower lid it can be readily seen and removed if the pa tient is told to look upward a* you pull the lower lid downward. By having patient look downward as you lift upper lid, any object on the eyeball can be seen if the light is good. If no object can be seen and the patient tells you that he feels as if something is scratching? the upper part of his eyeball, the object is on the inner side of the upper lid. The Benefit of Tears. The upper lid has hard tissue— cartilage—on its edge. This make* it a little difficult to turn the lid to expose the object. However, if you stand behind the patient, as he looks upward, and hold the point of a pencil on the upper part of the lid, the object can be turned back ward. If the object is on the inner side of the lid, it can be remowed with the pointed piece of gauze. The thought, then, is that when an object gets into the eye, the tears should be allowed to flow for about a minute, which may be all that is necessary to get rid of it. If this does not remove it to the inner side of lower lid, then search and removal must be made as sug gested above. Don’t use anything harder than soft gauze. * * * QUESTION BOX Q.—What would cause me to have repeated colds in the head? A.—Repeated colds may be due to dust or pollen irritating the lining of the nose, or to some low or slow infection in the sinuses. Q.—I have a large hernia and wei>gh 250 pounds. Would the injec tion treatment be suitable in my case? A.—You had better ask your physi cian. A large hernia and much fag is not likely to be suitable for the injection method.
