i That Body Of Yours

SIMPLE TEST OF THE LIVEIVS WORKING ABHJTY

It has often been said that life depends on the liver because. if the liver is doing its various jobs pro- perly. all seems to be well with the rest of the body. The liver is therefore called the 'king" of the organs.

.One of the important jobs done by the liver is the removal of harm- ful substances. and the prevention of the loss of helpful substances for the body's use. Thus. in what is known as the dye test, dye is taken by mouth or injected into a vein and the less time it takes the liver to remove this harmful substance from the blood, the more efficient the liver is judged to be. This is called a liver function or action test.

Another liver test is the action of the liver on useful substances such as foods. If too much of these useful substances is allowed to re- main in the blood instead of being used up by the body processes for

In the German Medical Journal. Drs. K. schreier and H. Schonsee state that amino acids. the valuable substance of proteins tmeat. eggs, fish, milk). particularly methionine. are increased in the blood serum of patients with liver damage. This shows that it is difficult for the damaged liver cell to motaboiize (use) or store methionine.

As the test for methionine in the iood requires complicated investi- gations, it was decided to deter- mine methionine level in the urine a simple test. I

In this liver function test. meth-

excretion tsubslanccs thrown off: by the urine) is ascertained over the next 24 hours. Healthy adults excrete or throw off 11.5 to 13 per cent of methionine given by mouth

Drs. Schreier and Schonsee regard the throwing off of from l5 to lei per cent as definitely pathological (diseased condition.)

In children. excretion or throw- ing away of 15 per cent should be regarded as definitely pathological This should be of interest to par- ents and child specialists as math- ionine, being an amino acid, is really a building block of the body. If the liver in so damaged that it fails to retain this valuable sub- stance and throws it out as waste in the urine. it can cause general weakness. It ie the loss of insulin into the blood and urine. instead of being used to build the body. that is known as diabetes.

Seven Days A Week

(By Anne Shannon) 1. 1

1. Monday: Wash day today and no soap flakes on hand? Then try this in the future-save all the leftover bits of soap from the kitchen and bathroom and set them near the stove to dry thor- oughly. Then run them through the food chopper, using the finest blade. This makes fine soap pow- der and you'll find it will dis- solve instantly in hot. water. Use it. in the washing machine only, as face soap leaves a fragrant odor on chinaware that not many rel- ish. I read recently that every housekeeper should pour a. bit of hot water in the apparently empty soap flakes box and they will find it. is not as empty as they thought, but will provide an extra. bit. of suds for dishwashing and so on. And if you feel you must wash up the kitchen floor, after the clothes are billowing on the line. use hot water and drop in a heap- ing tablespoon of cream wax. Your floor will shine nicely-ab most as good as a regular waxing!

2. Tuesday: This is the time of the year. before the long winter comes, to build a bird feeding. station. A wooden packing case or similar box makes the best sort of dining table for little feathered friends. Turn the open end of the box facing south so that there will be protection from the cold winds. If no packing box is available. a couple of shelves with a rim around the edges will solve the problem nicely.

Be sure to install the feeding station near it window-for this will afford a fine opportunity for the kiddies (and grown-ups tool: to learn about the different kinds of birds.

Q. How can I remove dents that have been accidentally put into wood with which one is working? A. Place a dampened cloth or blotter over the dent and steam with a hot iron. The steam has the effect of releasing the pressure on the bent. wood fibers, and they come back into place. The work is then finished by sanding lightly over the spot with a fine grade of sandpaper.

Q. How can I make cold cream?

A. By mixing 2 tablespoons of oatmeal. 1.":-tablespoon powdered borax, '5-pint. rosewater. Allow this to Itand for two or three days. then strain, and add ii-ounce of alcohol.

Q. How can I make it easy to find the electric light. switch at night?

A. Touch the electric light but- tons with a little luminous paint. and they will easily be seen in the darkness.

utea. Bake a layer cake 25 to 30 minutes or cup cakes about 30 min- utes.

Turn out puddings for serving. Layer cake or cup cakes may be frosted when cold. -

DEAR MISS DIX: How should I treat :1 proposal from a man I have never met? Our entire friendship has been conductor! via correspondence and, though I have grown to like him vcry, much through his letters. I don't think that's a sufficient fnunrlation for marriage. I'm trying to convince him that we should know P.'li”'l other for at least two months pr-rsonally before br-coming engaged.

I am i7. JESSIE B.

ANSWER: Becoming engaged to a man you've never met would be a most foolhardy procedure. Even a two-month personal acquaint- an,ce isn't enough to warrant an engagement. Besides. you are too young to be carried away by someone u ho is almost a total stranger.

After you've met the boy. give yourself at least a year bcfore maklng a commitment. Apparently you are a fine correspondent to merit such wholeheartcd enthusiasm--but don't let that got the bet- ter of your judgment.

DEAR MISS DIX: A man I like very much has declared that the minute he knows a girl is getting serious over him. he steps out of the picture. He is 26, I am 17. What do you think is the best way to treat this guy?
