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.)

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.
