MEDFORD MUG TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON. THURSDAY, 'AUGUST 29, 1935. SIMPLE DIET BEST FOR OLDER FOLKS SAYS HJEJtUREAU Age Marked by Infirmities, Not Years, so Far As Food Requirements Go Activities Also Big Factor "What is the right kind of food for old people?" This Is a question that come many times to the Bureau or Home Economics In the U S. Depart ment of Agriculture. Housewives ask It because of the elders In their fsmU lies. Institution managers asc h. "Old" people themselves ask It. But what do we mean by "old" people? The answer depends upon that, savs the bureau. Nobody needs a special diet merely because he has lived a certain numoer 01 years, oumo rjeoole at 80 are actually younger, physically, than others at 60 or even at 40. People who are really old are those whose bodies ere no longer so strong or active as they were, people who with their years have become worn, infirm, disabled or sick. For people in middle life or later who are merely not so active as they were the answer may be different. inactive Need I-ejis people who are really, physiologl cslly old, unless they are on a special diet prescribed by a doctor, should have meals planned with reference to the general slowing down of their in ternal processes, and also to meet any difficulties they may have In chewing or digesting. Because they are inactive, such people need less food, particularly less of the high caloric foods than active people need. They probably need only half or two thirds as many calories as they re quired In their most active years Their food should be simple, simply prepared, easily digestible and well balanced that is. it should include all the different classes of food that everybody needs. The chief promem Is to provide the necessary variety of foods, with texture and form suit able to elderly people. Use Fruit Juices Use fruit Juices rather than fruit itself; stewed fruit rather than raw ones. Citrus fruits, however oranges and grapefruit may be used raw. Milk, soups, purees nnd broth are good. Milk, in fact. Is very impor tant In this kind of diet, because It contains so msny food values in easily digestible form. Milk fat and milk protein, especially, are more eas ily digested thsn any other fat or protein. For protein foods, broiled ground beef, chicken, lamb, flaked fish, oys ters, soft-cooked eggs, cottage cheese; cheese souffle or cheese fondu. where the cheddnr cheese Is finely divided and mlxod with other foods that are readily digested. One average serving of protein food per day Is usually enough. Vegetables are a more difficult question. With their texture in mind, the bureau recommends potatoes and sweet potatoes, baked, boiled or mahed; fresh snap benns, fresh llmss nd fresh peas, preferably sieved; apinach, finely chopped: cauliflower; quash (no seeds); carrots, cooked or grated raw; corn pudding if the corn Is scraped and no skin of the grains Included. Tomato Juice rather than tomatoes unless the seeds and skins are str&inrd out. Chop Hard Vegetables Vegetables that are hard to masti cate, such aa cabbage, turnip tops, collnrds. and stalks of celery, should be chopped fine. Older people also find grains of corn are hard to di gest, whether on or off the cob, cooked or canned For dessedts. use custards, rice puddings. Junket, gelatins, stewed, canned or baked fruit, but not pas try or rich cakes. Cream and sugar or top milk and sugar are allowable with puddings, however. Ice cream Is good, and slmpfr- candles some times, unless they cause obvious trouble. As for breads, all ktnds are allownble unless they ratine discomfort, aa may happen If they are not well chewed. Toa?t and nwlebaoh are good because the starch Is partly turned to dextrin. T.'Mrh Is easier to digest than starch. Corfee. tea. malted milk, and cocoa, are allowahlp and usually very wel come. Coffee and tea with sugsr and errsm or milk if desired. Rich gravies and sauces put too much of a burden on a weak diges tive system, and high seasonings and condiments of si) sorts are too Irri tating. Fnf ortrner and Less A good rule for comfort in the de clining years In to est oftener. and ent less st a time. A glass of milk and a cracker on wsking early In the morntng a cup of tea of coffee or broth In the afternoon, and hot milk st, bedtime. These In addition to three meals, help to keep up the en ercy during the day snd make for better sleep at night. Those are suggestions for people whose years have brought some de gree of infirmity. There is another class of people whose diet needs sd JiiRting with their years, though maybe not because of the years. The need for adjustment may be due. rather, to their habits. These are the people of middle life or later who use less physical energy than they once did, but who keep on eating Just as much energy-Riving food. Women ltrjulre Lest The man of ordinary weiaht and activity In his best years needs foods that will supply probably S0O0 to S.VX) calories a day. The ordinarily arrive woman needs on an average 2.VK) to .1000 calories. But that same rr.an or woman, when less active, does not use as many calories as before. Surplus calories In the food In such csei are likely to go to fat. and so we see manv people in their "forties- and "fifties and "sixties" be lnnl!:g to tske on weight. Tnis not mean they hould fcsve a speriai diet, or stop eating any parneultr kind of food. On the contrary, the twiy. at any age. active or insrtjve. rwdn a well-rounded diet. inr'iMm not only vegetables' and frut's. milk. ent. fish, poultry' or efffs. nil' n'v, the htth calorie foods bred snd rersli, fits and augsrs.

Southwestern Oregon Development Projects Call State Officials Governor, Forestry Officials Will Meet With Curry Co. Heads to Map Recreational Program GRANTS PASS, Aug. 39. (Bpl.) State officialdom will be concentrate ed in southwestern Oregon this week end, Interested in two major develop ment projects one by private Initia tive and one under county, state and federal control. Gold Beach and Port Orford, two historic communities and lone settle ments in Oregon's last primeval fron tier, will be the scenes. The actors will be Governor Charlea H. Martin, the state and Curry county planning board, and federal forestry officials at Gold Beach, who plan to keep an empire primeval. At Port Orford they will be Gilbert E. Gable, president of six companies with an ambitious pro gram of Industrial expansion, the governor, and other state officials strangely planning Industrial devel ment of the primeval empire. Curry Last Frontier Curry la the only county In the United States without an Incorpo rated city.. Cape Glanco la claimed to be the farthest western limit of continental United Btstea (exclusive of Alaska). Up the Rogue river la the wildest district in Oregon. Until this month no wheeled vehicle ever traveled un der its own power as far aa Agness, on the lower road, although roads have been envisioned since the mili tary established Fort Orford In 1841. The governor and the planning board will meet Saturday morning at Gold Beach to devise some, plsn for keeping the lower Rogue recreational area forever a primeval territory save for the many tourists and sportsmen who may be drawn there. The dis trict expands for miles on each aide of the Rogue from Gold Beach to Grants Pass and la known the world over for its fine fishing and for its scenery. The U. S. forestry service already has designated the district as the lower river recreation area and Siskiyou national forest headquarters at Grants Pass are striving to main- : tsln the forests and streams for best advantage of tourists from Oregon j and other states. I Heek Angling Sites With the expectation that thou sands more of tourists will travel north along the Coast highway. Gold Beach and the whole county Is seek ing some means of providing angling rights. One company, the Macleay estate, owns miles on miles of the Rogue river banks, and it is feared that If a transfer of title should be made the new owner might charge tolls to reach the river. The planning board may devise some way for creation of state parks at suitable Intervals so that this con dition may never eventuate. On the other hand, at Port Orford. 1 a start has alresdy been msde to- j ward creation of a new mid-Pacific j Indusetrlal center. The ambitious pro- j gram lined out Dy six companies ! headed by Gilbert E. Gable, includes a new wharf and breakwater, lumber mills, mine development of the in- i terior. trana-Pselfic and coastal ship ping, and eventually a railroad along the Rogue river to Lei and, a few miles north of Grants Pass. Dock Partly Done Port Orford will celebrate comple tion of part of that program In a few short months on Labor day. The governor and other state officials will attend Immediately following the Gold Beach meeting. Already completed is the adminis tration building, blasting of Graveyard Point Into the ocean to form a break water and dock, erection of a saw mill, and construction of 310 feet of the dock. Progress has been msde on the rest of the program. The first ship ever to use the new farthest western wharf will be loaded Labor day with 1,500.000 feet of lum ber. Port Orford will celebrate its progress which has already led the community to dream of incorpora tion. Celebration Arranged In the evening a "wedding" will be celebrated at the base of the new dock, symbolizing the union of sea and land with all the showmanship which has marked the project from the time a key pressed In New York City set off the first blast for the dock. "Neptune' will aproach from j the sea on an elaborately decorated fishing ship and woos and wins "Daphne." goddeos of earth, with proper symbolism. Fireworks are planned which will illumine a message sent to the build ers by President Roosevelt. "The re covery from economic doldurms and the return of prosperous conditions must depend In large part on Initia tive of private Industry."

It Is expected that freight savings would be made for Roseburg, Klamath Falls,. Ashland and Medford as well as Grants Pass, which will be the official terminal. A special examiner advised rejec tion of the application on grounds that demand Is insufficient, but on request of Senstor McNary a new hearing will be held with represen tation of "demand" made for the first time In full. Although the railroad would tap the fertile Rogue River valley and draw freight from the Umpqua val ley and Klamath basin as well, its main tonnage would come from known deposits of minerals such as chrome and from lumber.

K23 PhOIie 128 Bantam Hurries Job of Hatching Her First Brood Here, on the 29th day of August, Is an Aprff fool joke of some kind or other. On April 1 a bantam chick was born at the Jim Murray zhlcken coop. A few weeks ago the chick, now grown into a fine young bantam hen, took up her henly duties with a serious meln, ind atarted to lay eggs as all good jantam hens should do. She layed one on Friday, August . This she surveyed with pride, walked around a few times, and an the next day calmly repeated the performance. And so it went for 10 more days an egg a day. until there was a round dozen. Then, Just a week ago, she moved In on the eggs, and started raising a family. If Jim's arithmetic Is correct, and he Is noted for scrupulous arithmetic, It won't be long before the cycle la completed, and more little chicks will be peeping about the Murray yard. The name of the story, of course. Is "From Egg to EOG in 150 Days." through the area which the planning board is striving to keep primitive. Axea would fell only those trees out side the recreation area. And visitors to the lower Rogue river district the newest scene of government ex periments could see Industry and playground side by side. m Mall Tribune want da.

Aug. 20 fAPl An eight-foot wall of water, caused by a cloudburst, took the lives of three persona and was believed to have swept two others to their deaths when It struck a Golden Eagle bus waiting for water to recede in a rail road underpass near here late last night. The bodies of the victims, a woman about 25 years old, a nine-year old ! girl and an elderly man, the latter j believed to be N. Sevlln of Chicago, ! were brought here. R. M. Rottman. a mortician, said there was nothing to Identify the ! woman and girl. Rottman said the bus had stopped on comparatively high ground to wait : for the swirling waters of the un ! derpass to lower sufficiently to al low it to proceed. Suddenly the occupants of the bus saw the flood, Ui miles in width, surging down upon them. Terror stricken they began to rush to safety.
