Newspaper Page TextEIGHT MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE Monday. October 9, 1944 Your Health and Its Care BY Da WILLIAM BRADY, M. D. '. Readers should address Inquiries to: Dr. William Brady 265 EI Camino. Beverly Hlll. Colli. and the club Is the only place In Ceylon where you can get good coffee and hamburger with onions. The guest book shows why the place is called the Cross Roads club. There are addresses from every state and every country. WHEN BETTER CALCIUM IS AVAILABLE WHY NOT USE IT? At fJ . ' Because I have noticed that you are never averse to making a retraction or acknowledging error it you make a wrong state ment, I should like to ask about your earlier recom m e n dation of calcium lactate (writes Mrs. S R. F.) More re cently you sug gest di-calcium phosphate some times. Dt Bred? ' other times you suggest calcium gluconate. My sisters take calcium lactate ior leg cramps, lor dizziness, and Lord knows what and so we wonder why you have switched to the other salts of calcium. I switched from calcium chlor ide and calcium lactate some six or, eight years ago because I found that most people more readily take calcium gluconate or di-calcium phosphate. Then, too, I was biased in favor of the latter because it supplies phos phorus as well as calcium, and in nearly all Instances If there is calcium shortage or deficicnty these is phosphorus shortage or deficiency too, for these two elements occur naturally in chemical combination in the best food sources of calcium and phos phorus, such as milk, cheese, wheat, beans, peas, peanuts, cab bage, lettuce. Calcium lactate Is still a good form of calcium for the treat ment of tendency to bleed ex cessively, tetany hay fever, asth ma, and the like, but calcium gluconate has proved less Ir ritating and equally effective, and di-calcium phosphate, sup plying phosphorus as well as phorus is required for normal calcium metabolism or assimila tion and utilization in the body and vice versa, and further that vitamin D is essential ior either or both. And so I switched from cal cium chloride and calcium lac tate, which I think are still the calcium preparations of choice for intramuscular or, better, in travenous injection in emerg encies such as lead or gallstone or renal colic or tne paimui cramps of black widow spider bite, to calcium gluconate and dl-calcium phosphate always combined with an adequate amount of vitamin D.

Red Cross Club in Ceylon Draws GI's With Friendliness and Food Br Walter Logan United Press Staff Correspondent Colombo, Ceylon (U.PJ The Cross Roads Club of the Ameri can Red Cross, a closely-guarded military secret until SEAC head quarters moved to Colombo, is probably the only club ln the world whose doorman was stabbed because Mrs, Roosevelt isn't a buddhlst. That episode occurred shortly after someone hung a picture of tha First Lady across the street from a shrine. An Irate and ir responsible Buddhist, erroneous ly regarding the club's harmless old doorman as a connecting ling, cut him severely with a knife. The club, started last spring with considerable difficulty by Mlsi Flo Griffin of Cincinnati (no one in Ceylon apparently had heard of a Red Cross club befort), not only has proved an object of awe- and admiration to tha natives, but has given con siderable Impetus to the tomb atoTTe industry. Counters From Tombstones Miss Griffin, who acquired and furnished the place by mes merizing local officials until she got what she wanted, required a sanitary surface for the snack bar counter, but was told only wood was available. A tour of inspection of Ccylonese Indus tries brought her face to face with a tombstone maker, who agreed to slice the stone a lot thinner Now the manufacturer aells more slabs than tombstones. The club at the moment Is run by Mrs Lettle Mae Drexler of Port Gibson, Miss., a buxom dog fancier and a second mother to lonesome GI's and Navy Armed Guard crews who rcKnrd her as an angel of mercy who not only keeps them sober and out of mis chief, but gives practical advice to the lovelorn. It's a notable fact that In everyday life all of the GI's and sailors call her "Lottie Mae," but when they write her letters of thanks or letters ask ing what to do about fickle fe males, they address her as "Deor Mom." She In turn regards them all as her. children and knows more by name than the average company commander. Big Attracliom Food The Red Cross club is easy to find, as it is one of the few J places In Colombo where there are music and lights after dark. Once a sailor or soldier wanders In, he usually is entranced by tha homelike atmosphere and rarely wanders out again Into trouble Lottie Mae has a practical viewpoint toward those who drink too much of the local ar rack (a dynamite-like brew of distilled coconut Juice) and says simply, "I like to get them here before they go drinking; If I don't, I'd rather have them drunk ln here than somewhere else." Such cases are infrequent, but when they occur the victim is given cold showers by his com rades and hot coffee by Lottie Mae and usually is profoundly grateful. Probably the greatest attrac tion of the club If the home- cooked food, prepared by Cry lonesc cooks under the watchful eye of Miss Zeda Davis of Charl- estown, V Va. To her has fallen the Job of teaching the cooks (1) how to cook American style, (2) to keep the premises spotlessly clean, and (3) to swat the occas ional flies which wander In.

Shaw Helps Make Record At Airplane Base An Air Service Command De pot (Somewhere in England) Pfc. Ralph II. Shaw, son of Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Shaw, Ada, Ore gon, and husband of Ruby Ruth Rcnfro, 440 So. Riverside Ave., Medford, Ore., has won high commendation for helping estab lish new world s records ready ing fighters and bombers for combat at this air service com mand depot. He and his fellow flight-test mechanics last month pre-fllght-ed the largest number of air planes recorded since air service command began operations ln England. "A knockout blow against Ger many" was the way his com manding general, Brigadier Gen eral Isaac W. Ott, described the contribution of Pfc, Shaw whose extra effort helps make It pos sible to maintain a constant air cover over allied armies rolling ! through Germany, Before entering the air forces In July, 1943, he was employed as a mechanic by the Boeing company in Seattle. Congress Forced To Take Steps To Abolish Useless Agencies- Candidate Says ; Br Charles B. Segges United Press Correspondent Butte, Mont., Oct. 8. U.R) The executive branch of the fed eral government is a patch-work of disorder and confusion which must be unscrambled ln the post war era, Gov. John W. Bricker, of Ohio, said today. . Despite all the war powers granted President Roosevelt, congress "has had to take into its own hands the abolition of useless agencies," the Republi can vice presidential candidate said in a speech prepared for de livery here. Still Patchwork Congress liquidated the Civil- Ian Conservation Corps, the Na tional Youth Administration and the - National Resources Planning board, and pressured the president into "finally" abolishing the Works Projects administration, Bricker asserted. 'But all these attempts at re organization have been insuffici ent," Bricker said. "The execu tive branch of the federal gov- ernment still is a patchwork of disorder and confusion. A wise reorganization of gov ernment, he continued, must contain a "relaxing of power in Washington and a delegation of that authority to the local agen cies, scattered far and wide over the land." "The Republican party," he promised, "is prepared to pro ceed with the business of gov ernmental reorganization along the lines I have outlined, adding that the Republican governors' committee has made a report on the problem which might well be our guide." After tonight's address in Great Falls, Bricker leaves for Spokane, Wash., for a brisk cam paign tour of the Pacific coast states. Sunday Holiday Bricker took a holiday from politics yesterday, although he made eight rear platform ap pearances while his train was traveling across Minnesota and North Dakota. In the latter states, he ran head-on into a three-cornered race for U. S. senator between one Democratic and two Repub lican candidates. The Ohioan steered a middle course and permitted himself to be introduced at Fargo by Lynn U. Stambaugh, Independent Re publican candidate, and at Jamestown by Sen. Gerald P. Nye, the regular GOP nominee who defeated Stambaugh by a narrow majority of 972 votes in the primary last June. Both Stambaugh and Nye em phasized they did not want to embroil Bricker ln their state fight and Stambaugh said he was- certain that the two-way Repub lican race would not split the party vote and permit Gov. John Moses to win. Nye, however, charged that the whole thing was a "new deal trick" to help the Democratic candidate win. Kofoed Tops All New York Life Co. Agents in Oregon Ernest E.
