| o MONDAY, DECEMBER 23, 1946 1 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE Food Value of Skimmed Milk Stressed By Nutrition Chief Ottawa, (C. Press) -- Dr. L, B. Pett, director of nutrition for the Health fat, and vitamin A, .Dr, Pett said it was "unfortun- ate" that the price of milk was bas- on | ed on the butterfat content and ex- greater food value than whole milk. Testifying before Mr. Justice Dal- ton Wells in the second day of hearing here, Dr. Pett said that a quart of skim milk, which is the by-product left when butterfat is removed, was a "better bargain at the 11-cent Ottawa price than the 15-cent quart of whole milk with its high rate of butterfat content. Skim Milk Economical "The consumer is getting a lot more for his dollar in the way of food value in buying skim milk in- stead of whole milk," he continued. "Speaking from the viewpoint of nutrition and health, the fat con- tent of milk is not the most im- portant factor." Dr, Pett placed before the com- mission a nutrition chart showing that skim milk contains more nutri- tive units than whole milk, although whole milk contains more energy Breakdown Explained On a breakdown, the two pro- ducts showed the same amounts of protein, calcium, phosphorus, iron, thiamine or vitamin B, riboflavin, niacin and ascorbic acid. Skim milk contained more carbohydrate while whole milk contained more calories, pressed bellef this was because the butterfat content was an "easier standard of measurement" than would be the other nutritive units. Dealing with the health aspects of the two products, he said that during the early ages of children, especially infants, a "good deal of harm" could be done by feed- ing them milk with too high a but- ter-fat content. Por this reason, many physicians recommended the feeding of babies on milk with a low butterfat content. Difficult to Digest In other age groups, there was "good medical evidence" to show that ability to digest decreased as a person grew older and older people thus would have digestive difficulty with milk containing a high per- centage of butterfat. There was no "health reason" why milk should contain 3.4 per cent butterfat instead of 3.0 per cent butterfat or any other figure. The health value alone could not be used to set a precise figure for the butterfat content. Dr. Pett agreed with Mr. Justice Wells that as a result of "propagan- da" consumers believed that the best milk to drink was a "rich" pro- duct with a high butterfat content. £ Scandal In Britain Laid Bare By Care of Children Committee & A 4 The greatest scandal of modern times--the martyrdom unde ap- palling conditions of Britain's un- wanted children--has been laid bare tions -housing nearly 125,000 "de- prived children"--children deprived of a normal home life.

BUNDESEN, M.D. The diaphragm is the large, sheath-like muscle which separates the abdominal and chest cavities. In addition, it serves as our most important aid in breathing. Natur- ally, when so important a structure becomes inflamed, symptoms are likely to be severe. The condition is the more hazardous because it may be mistaken for a variety of other things--pleurisy or inflammas- tion of the lining of the chest cav- ity, pneumonia, appendicitis or gall- bladder disease, thus leading to im- proper treatment or even to opera- tion, which will be futile and per- haps dangerous. ) Pain in the Side The symptoms caused by inflam- ation of the diaphragm include pain on the affected side when the pa- tient breathes in, There are some lessening of movement of the low- er part of the chest, jerky spasms of the rib edge when the patient breathes in, and pain in the shoul- der. In some cases there is also some stiffness and pain in the right upper part of the abdomen, When the patient is examined by X-ray it shows that the diaphragm on one side is raised and is either partly or completely immovable. According to Dr. Minas Joat- nides of Chicago, inflammation of the diaphragm may follow a cold or a severe chill, It starts sudden- ly with a great deal of pain, fever and rapid pulse. The severity of the symptoms varies to a great ex- tent. If there is some lung inflam- mation present there may be some fluid in the lung There is danger 'that the in- fection may spread into the liver tissue, causing an abscess. The less severe attacks clear up within a few days but may recur with changes in temperature and espec- . | ially when the air is humid. As Condition Improves As the condition begins to clear up, the movement of the dia- is resumed, The damaged muscle fibres in the diaphragm are replaced by scar tissue. After complete healing it is of- ten found that the affected part of the diaphragm has become flatten ed instead of being arched. As a general rule, inflammation of ir- | the diaphragm is not a difficult one to diagn: re ose if careful X-ray exa- minations are made. should be made to overcome the in- fection by rest in bed and the use of the sulfonamide drugs and peni- cillin if they are indicated. Pre- parations may also be administered to relieve the pain. Pains in the chest may be pro- duced by many disorders and in ev- ery instance a careful study by the physician is important, The walls of the home laundry should be light in color, easy to keep clean and moisture-resistant.

LADY IN THE DARK Christmas Cards: "This year we got an unusually beautiful lot of Christmas cards. What can be done with them? Are they of any use to anyone?" The Hospital for Sick Children can use you Christmas cards. The young patients make them up into scrap books and get a lot of fun from pasting them up. * PY Boxing Day: "What shall we do with our Christmas wrappings and gift boxes?

Also, one of the children spilled coal ofl on the chester- field. How can I get rid of both stain and odor?" If the mildew spots are new, soap and' water will take them out; if the stain is old. dip it in Javelle water for one minute, then rinse in clear warm water, If it is not too deeply set. the Javelle should lift it.

Does one blan- ket take the place of all bedding? Are they washable?" Canadian General Flectric will be manufacturing electric blan- kets in Barrie in 1947; they will be ready for Christmas shopping next autumn. The price, as closely as Canadian General Elec tric can tell me, will be $42.00 for ~ | § single control, $54.00 for dual control. That means if you like more heat than your husband, you can each select your own tempera- ture. Blankets come only in double bed size, are blue, rose, green, cedar. They launder just like ordinary blankets, do not have a cover like an electric pad. They should not be put through the ringer, and one electric blanket gives as much heat as three ordinary blankets.
