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.
