EXAMINATION OF

PHYSIC APTHE AGING

At the beginning of this century mothers began to form the habit of having their infants and children examined regularly by the family physician. One of the first things the physician does is to weigh the y ungstcr, as too much gain or too much loss in weight could mean some gland or other defect. An- other important point is the per- centage of hemoglobin iiron) in the blood. If bclow normal the cause is determined - not enough of the right kind of food or the presence of some low infection. In addition, the youngster is immun- ized against the various infectious. diseases. '

Because of these periodic physic- al examinations. tiic death rate in infants and children is lower than ever before.

Physicians are finding that just as infants and children now get off to a better start in life. so should our aging men and women receive regular examinations not only to preserve life but to make their re- maining years more comfortable and free from pain.

In his book, "The Patient Past

Fifty." Dr. Ernest P. Boas, Assoc- iate Physician. Mouiii. Siaiii Hos- pital, New York City. states. ”There is no short cut to the maintenance nf health and the prevention of dsease in the aging." Disease in the aging comes often so quietly that it may become chronic before it is recognized. Discovering symp- toms early makes it possible to stop or delay them. .It is pointed out that more than I routine examination should be given the aging man and woman. ”l't is necessary to iiiciiide a sur- vey of the daily life of the patient, his habits. his mental and psycho- logical iemotional) make-up, and his relationship to his wife, his children, his business and his en- vironment and surroundings."

The aging man and woman must,

rr is probable that there may be I. great inner drive or incen- tive to launch out on some new horizons, with a keen spirit bf enterprise and initiative urging on to do big things, possibly in a large and spectacular way. The lure for public support or recognition is in- sistent, with fresh talents, .new ideas and aspirations clamoring for expression. These might be defini- tely encouraged. provided shrewd, cautious and honest tactics keep such endeavors on a straight and sound basis.

For the Birthday

Those whose birthday it is are encouraged to go ahead on their desired new plans and objectives, edged on by unusual ambition, con- fidence and sound purpose to forge ahead to advanced position. power or authority. with such ideals firmly based on good sense and logic, they may bring excellent re- sults, although there may be subtle undercurrciits of treachery, fraud and duplicity to keep the weather eye open. Pitfalls and snares may arise from confused and disjointed plans or ideas. Analyze carefully all new deals.

A child born on this day. while talented, ambitious and responsible, might be enmeshed in tricky cir- cumstances by careless or dubious mental or emotional slants.

if possible, be preserved as useful members of society mentally, emo- tionally and physically. Even when the individual is at the retirement stage, the physician must try to show him that. despite rcrtain de- fects, he can still be of some use to the world. Now that physicians have and are still doing a good work in pedi- atrics-'-children's ailments - they can and are now turning to geria- trics-ailmenis of the aging.

HowCanI!ll -:2 By Anne Ashley .

Q. How can I clean a griddle that has become crusted? A. Place it over a very hot fire and cover thickly with salt. After the salt has turned brown. the crust and salt will brush off to- gether, leaving the griddle like new. After washing, grease well and heat before putting away. Q. What are a. few of the stand- ard kitchen measures? A. one call. spoon equals three- quarters of a teaspoon; three tea- spoons equal one tablespoon; six- teen tablespoons equal one cup; two cups equal one pint.

unn.n.nq)1)(runl(DIru

DEAR MISS DIX: Having read, as I so often do, of mother-im t

law trouble, I wonder if the plan I have followed would help any- one.

I live, and have for the past five years, with my married daugh- ter. However. although I live in her house, I do not live with her; I have my own housekeeping room, with my own furniture and every- thing I need to make me comfortable. My daughter cooks my eve- ning meal along with bars, and either sends or brings it up to me and I eat it in my room-a room in which I am the mistress, and that last statement covers a lot of ground.

How my daughter keeps her part of the house is her business, and hers alone. I don't have to live in it. I can truthfully say if you searched from one end of the country to another, you wouldn't find two people more unlike than my daughter and I. I happen to be the careful, tidy type. She is happy-go-lucky, willing to get go until

Wash? Oh yes, remembering that cleanliness is a virtuous thing, en- joying much this part of the house-

the sun and wind: lsd's shirts. crumpled from being shed quickly and tossed aside in the heat of day, trousers with lanees scuffed and worn from getting close to some interest of the moment. Wishing. a bit as we set gears in motion we had presumed to catch yesterday's heavy afternoon show- er to make of the washing as once -arms deep in a tub of delightful suds a more personal undertaking than now. ,

Early, indeed immediately after breakfast Jamie was off "With a "hop, skip and jump" to join in the laying on of shingles on the barn- roof at Alderiea. Under his elders' supervision and evidently well, or else he would socti have been dis- missed from service, he kept at that work all day. Asphalt shingles are being used in autumn colorings to match those on the neighbor- lng barn. "llow do I do it?" Jamie pondered our query this evening. "Well, unless you were with me on the roof, I'd find it hard to ex- plain."

Thoughts of the farmers engag- ed on this farm at the weeding ob- viously strayed from the work at hand to the haying. In an interval away from their labors R mower was brought from storage at the other farm; and also in token of the season, wire guards for the horses' muzzlea and a brand new whet-stone to give keen blades to the mowing. And James found a second blossom on the timothy this morning, but as he said with a long sigh, "What's the use of start- ing the hay, before we have fin- ished the hceing?"

I have a small electric stove on which I make my breakfast, which my daughter frequently comes up in share. Then we chat for a while. On Sundays and holidays her husband comes up with her, or I take the coffee into their rooms. and we have it together. Frequently my daughter and I lunch to- gether in my room. She does most of my shopping for me, along with her own. and I do some myself. I pay her a certain sum each month in cover food expenses, and she absolutely refuses to take any- thing for the room. in which her husband upholds her.
