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

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."

railroad, which has made application
to the Interstate commerce commis
sion for permit to build to a Junc
tion with the Southern Pacific a few"
miles north of here. 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.

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."

board is striving to keep primitive.

THREE ABOARD BUS
SWEPT TO DEATH BY
DRAGOON. Ariz.. 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.
The bus was turned over twice and
half buried in the water and debris.
