PW SBu EUGENE REGISTER-GUARD, Friday, Sept 21, 1962 To Your Health Typical Ulcer Diet High in Fat By DR. JOSEPH G. MOLNER Dear Dr. Molner: In 1956 I developed a duodenal ulcer and my doctor put me on a diet to cure it. The treatment was auccessful, but I have gained about 40 pounda and every time I diet, the ulcer flarea up. Ia there any kind of diet I can follow without bothering the ulcer? MRS. F.G. The typical ulcer diet ia high In fata milk, cream, cream soupa. However, the diet needn't be lo rifiid, nor so heavily laden with fat. Skimmed milk instead of whole milk or milk-and-cream can be used for intermediate feedings. For desserts, use gela tin, sherbets or ices instead of puddings. And above all remember that diet isn't the whole story. Keep caffcin drinks, smoking and al cohol at a minimum because they make ulcers flare up. Fre quent small feedings are 1m portant. Avoid spicy condl mcnts. Judicious medication, emo tional control and avoiding ten sion and fatigue are other im portant aspects. Get all of these factors working for you to keep the ulcer under control, and you then have moderate leeway to reduce the amount of fat in the diet. Dear Dr. Molner: What is meant when a school psychia trist saya a child is "imma ture"? One told me my son was more than mentally cap able for his school work yet waa quite immature. MRS. J. "Immature" can have both a physical and an emotional meaning. It can mean that a child, although healthy, may be delayed in reaching puberty or in developing secondary sex characteristics deepening of the. voice, changes in the fig ure, etc. Or it may refer just to emo tional matters again having no relation to intelligence. A child may have brains to spare for classwork, yet not be sociable in games, or not know how to cope with teasing, or not be able to adjust to the normal mixing of youngsters. Hc'a im mature, he "hasn't begun to grow up," in these things. Dear Dr. Molner: Could a person have had spinal men ingitis and after 14 years have tuberculosis caused from it? Is there any relation between the two? N.M.K. Meningitis, or inflammation of the lining of the brain and spinal cord, can be caused by a variety of germs, TB among them. When the TB germ causes illness, treatment usually suc ceeds in eliminating it to the degree of preventing a relapse. Hence there probably is no con nection between the meningitis and TB 14 years apart. (The meningitis may well have been from somo entirely different type of germ.) 1 tsv:J' a . - a mm - h 1 hats nature HBsaraaes fj Life Abundant in Wilds By PRINCE E. HELFRICH Northwest Conservationist One of the pleasures of camping on a wilderness lake was watching the birds catch fish. Two ospreya had a nest in the top of a dead tree and from the number of fish they caught, they must have been feeding some hungry babies. Each morning they would hover over the lake untii a fish came to the surface. Then they would dive like a bomber and capture the fish in their claws. Sometimes a bald eagle would steal the fish from them. It took only a dive or a scream from the eagle and the osprcy would drop his catch which in turn was caught by the eagle. The loons on the lake were leaching their young to fly. Each evening they would call and then take off to some nearby lake. One of their young would follow, but the other would stay on the lake and call in a lone some voice for them to return. Another of the delights of the northern woods ia the great abundance of berries. We could pick wild strawberries in the open ings or gather blueberries in the woods. In moist places the wild raspberries grew in great profusion. There is much abundance in the summertime, but with the coming of winter, the food disappears; the bears must hibernate and the birds go south. A short hike on the trails around camp would show the large number of animals in the woods. A muddy place would show lynx, bear, deer, coyote, and moose tracks all using the same trail. One morning we saw where a grizzly bear had dug out a hornet's nest. When the hornets started penetrating his thick fur, he started clawing at them and in the process pulled out great bunches of long grizzly hair. Even the wildest places showed evidence of man having been there in the past A meadow would be fenced for horses or cat tle; an old log cabin had been the home of an early day trapper; the Inlet of a lake would still have the frame where the Indians had set their nets for fish. And one of the amazing stories that we heard from an old trapper was that thou sands of wild horses still roamed this terri tory. In winter they would dig through the snow to the grass underneath, and if condi tions got especially severe, they would eat the bark off the young poplar trees. In some places ranchers offered bounties for killing these wild horses that were depleting their ranges. The people of this vast winderness are served by remote trading posts where every thing from kerosene lanterns to hackamores are available. Indians and whites alike stock up here for the winter, and the stock in trade is a far cry from our modern stores. Sugar and flour are available in hundred-pound sacks. Boots with felt linings are for the cold win ters. The stores carry all equipment for work and riding horses. This country is lil e ou. western country 50 years ago, and living i at the same pace. We saw Chilko Indian families driving into the trading posts in their rubber-tfred Bennett buggies to lay in supplies for the winter. The Chiko Indians are a good looking and intelligent people, although at times not too friendly. Many of them live and work on the big cattle ranches. We met interesting people who helped us find the fabulous fishing on our way in a new country. Lcn Le Lievre of the Chain Lakes has a fine setup for both fishermen and moose hunters, and can tell some excit ing stories of the wilderness country. We left our lake one morning and headed back to civilization, taking with us the mem ory of bright sunlit days and nights dis turbed only by the slap of a beaver's tail or the questing call of an owl. We left the lake to the ones whose home it was the loons, the beavers, muskrats, coyotes, fish and ospreys. Ask Andy Ring of Fire Still a Riddle Andy sends a complete, 20 volume set of the World Book Encyclopedia to Donald Mar otto, 13, of Staten Island, N. y., for his question: Why are there so many vol- canoa around the Pacific? The vast Pacific Ocean cov ers almost half the globe. It was named the Pacific because its gentle waters seem calm and peaceful when compared with the heaving waves of the At lantic. But the shorelines of the grcnt ocean are restless with shitting Islands, growing moun tains and volcanic activity. Us basin is an awesome bite deep into the earth's crust. The rim of the great ocean is ringed with mountain ranges and arcs of islands, with earth quake faults and bells of vol canic activity. This restless re gion has been called the earth's Ring of Fire and sevprnl theories have been suggested lo explain it. One theory suggests that the floor of the Pacific is rotating, taking about three billion years to make one turn while its shorelines remain stationary. Another theory suggests that I the Ring of Fire is caused by convection currents deep in the earth's interior. On a small scale, a convection current oc curs when you boil a pot of soup. The soup at the bottom, getting the most heat, rises in a current at the center of the pot. There it turns towards the edges of the pot and plunges down the sides to start another convection cycle. Convection currents on a vast scale may operate deep in the earth. If this is so, the Pacific area could be a huge convection cell with currents rising and de scending deep into the globe. The motion is perhaps a few inches a year, but this energy would be enough to explain the restless, mountain-making earth quakes and volcanism around the Pacific. A host of new facts about the earth's crust were gathered dur in the International Geophysi cal Year, but scientists are still groping for a theory to fit all the facts together. The convec tion theory seems the most like ly explanation for the Pacific's Ring of Fire but more facts are needed to prove it right or wrong. Andy sends a Hammond's International World Globe to Michael Matthes, 13, of Chi cago, 111., for his question: What is a Great Circle route? When you go around the equa tor, you seem to be going in a straight line. Actually, your path is a Great Circle around the curved surface of the earth. Great Circles are used to plot long-distance plane routes. On a flat map, a Great Circle route is curved and looks longer than a straight line between two points. But actually, it is the shortest route, because it fol lows the curved surface of the round globe.
