THE LEE COUNTY JOURNAL, LEESBURG, GEORGIA,
GOBS OF FAT.
THE PREVENTION OF
OBESITY.
Physical fitness demands of us that
we do not get too fat. Overweight
tends to reduce one's ability to dc
the necessary labor in any capacity;
besides, when it reaches a certain point
the health of the individual suffers;
he becomes an easy prey to ceriain
diseases.
In the vast majority of cases over
welght is due to ignorance or neglect,
It has been said, “The cause of obesity
is the storage of food materials within
the body in the form of fat” Some
times glandular secrelions become un:
balanced or disturbed, producing an
undue increase in fat, Of this type
we will not speak at this time. In
all cases of overweight it is a duty
one owes to himself to consult a phy:
sician.
Each person requires only a certain
amount of food to supply energy. The
fat comes from the food that is not
consumed for this purpose, The ma
jority of people do not eliminate this
excess food and it accumulates in the
form of fat, A few individuals do
eliminate, and the weight remains the
same, regardless of the amount of
food they consume. Most of us eat
too much and not the right kind of
food.
Reduction in weight depends almost
entirely on the will power; if you are
too fat and wish to reduce it is en
tirely in your power to do so. You
should determine what your weight
ought to be and then accomplish that
end. All food has a certain value;
this value is determined by the given
number of calories. The calorie is a
measure of energy value of food in
just the same sense as a foot or a
yard is the value of length or breadth.
The energy requirements of the body
are expressed in calories. The amount
of exercise and labor you do deter
mines the number of calories neces
sary for this purpose.
To reduce one’s fat the number of
calories must be less than the number
required, and in this way you can con
sume your stored fat and become thin
—you reduce. ’
The number of calories of energy
required, as stated, varies, but for an
average man of 154 pounds at rest, 11
to 14 calories per pound of ° body
weight, or 1750 to 2100; at light work
16 to 18 to each pound of body weight,
or 2450 to 2800; at moderate work 18
to 20 calories per pound of weight or
2800 to 3150; hard work, 20 to 27 to
each pound, or 3150 to 4200 as a total
to be consumed per day.
The energy required by the body
does not vary directly with the weight,
but is dependent -on the surface area
of the body. This also varies some
what with the age. The average as
taken above corresponds with 5 feet,
7 inches in height at the age of 40
to 44 years. This same man at 60
yvears old should weigh 158 pounds;
about five pounds can be added or
subtracted for each inch in height.
Therefore as a rough measure of daily
calorie requirements the normal weight
in pounds can be multiplied by 1§
where only light work is to be done,
by 20 when hard work is required.
This gives us the food consumption
for the day. .
The kind of food taken is also im
portant; to reduce the body weight one
must consume a proportionately less
amount of carbolydrate and fat than
pretein; that is, starches, sweets and
fat must be cut down.
It might be well for us to think in
terms of 100 calories; then each por:
tion mentiored in the list below con
tains 100 calories: ;
3x2xl 1/2 in. lean meat, |
2 large slices of bacon. |
1 egg. f
I banana (large).
I orange (large).
1/2 large grape fruit.
2 moderate size apples.
I slice of bread 1/2 inch thick.
I small glass of milk.
1 pat of butter.
3 ooz. of cream soup.
3 ooz. consomme,
1 cubic inch of cheese.
3 teaspoonfuls of sugar.
11/3 oz. cream.
12 large peanuts.
6 walnuts.
Approximately 1 pound of uncooked
watery vegetables such as lettuce,
cucumbers, tomatoes, spinach, etc.
You cannot estimate accurately the
] calories in meat, but approximately 1
pound of beef has 900, fish and ham
| 1300, pork chops 1450, bacon 2800, pork
sausage 2000, folws 1000, salmon 900,
mackerel 600. Therefore, it will be
seen that all fresh vegetables that
grow above the ground are not fatten
ing. Dried vegetables are not so good.
: Leave off fats and sweets; use brown
bread, never white flour. Cut out
l starchy foods,
I The reduction in food should always
be accompanied by proper exércise, of
‘ which walking in the open is perhaps
| the best. Keep the head up, the
i mouth closed, the shoulders back. You
can take such arm exercises as you
wish. Too rapid reduction is not de
sirable, but four or five pounds 2
week can be done without trouble. The
result rests entirely with the individ
ual; as stated in the beginning, it de
pends on your will power.
The Georgia State Board of Health
advises all; those who anticipate going
on a diet consulting their physiciap
first.

coming iegislature will provide amply

TUBERCULOSIS
SANATORIUM IS
FULL RICGHT NOW
The State Tuberculosis Sanatorium
Is full to its capacity, every bed filled
and there is a large whiting list of
patients who are badly in need of the
treatment given there.
This institution which is kept full
at all times, can take care of only 100
patients. There are at best estimate
30,000 tubercular persons, white and
black, in the State of Georgia today.
and the State furnishes only 100 beds
to care for its tuberculars—at Dest
only 300 persons can be treated in each
year. No beds are furnished by Geor
gla for the care of negroes—even
though there are two or three times
as many negroes suffering with tuber
culosis, and these negroes come into
direct contact with a very large ma
jority of the white children, Chil
dren are especially subject to tuber
culosis infection, 'To protect the white
race from tuberculosis, there must be
increased provision for the treatment
and segregation of tubercular persons
of both races.
A Sanatorium for tuberculosis has
three functions: ¢
1. To treat.
2. 'To segregate,
* 3. To educate.
1. To treat those already the vic
tims of the Great White Plague—to
cure those that are curable—to allevi
ate the suffering of those not curable.
2. To segregate those persons who
are expectorating the germ of tuber
culosis—to present them from infect
ing others.
3. To educate patients how to take
care of themselves—to show them how
to prevent infecting other persons—to
make missionaries to carry the gospel
of good health and of hygiene to the
relatives at home,
In order that the Sanatorium may
function in these three ways, the bed
capacity must be adequate. The Sana
torium at Alto is not inadequate, but
the size of the Sanatorium at Alto is
inadequate.
To correct this inadequacy, the
Georgia State Board of Health has
formulated the plan to build a larger
and up-to-date Sanatorium to care for
at least 220 white persons, leaving the
present plant for the treatment of
negro patients.
This plan would require about $500,-
000 for building fund. To finance this
project, it is suggested by the Board
of Health, that the counties furnish
either by public or private funds, one
half the cost. For example, the cost
per bed for the proposed Sanatorium
would be s2,6oo—the county supplying
$1,250 for each-bed. '
The number of beds assigned to
each county has been worked out on
a basis of death from tuberculosis in
each county—one bed for every six
deaths in a county with 18 deaths—
this would mean 3 beds at a cost to
the county of $3,750. The State would
then be asked to match this fund with
an equal amount. >
Wherever this plan has been brought
to the attention of the counties and
their citizens, it has been received with
enthusiasm. s
Unless some such a plan can be car
ried out, the fight against tuberculosis
will not be successful. If every citi
zen would see the demand for this
larger Sanatorium and would call it
to the attention of their Senators and
Representatives in the next Assembly.
this plan would be passed favorably
and a great advance would he made
against a very real enemy to the pub
lic health of Georgia.
The warm weather brings with it
the house fly. He has been accused
of much, and is guilty of all that has
been charged against him and then
some. You should do your share in
getting rid of this pest and menace
to the public health and especially the
health of the babies.
The fly does carry disease, is filthy
and a general nuisance, so let’s do all
we can to swat him early and late and
destroy his breeding places.
With the fly comes the usual sum
mer diseases, dysentery, diarrhoea and‘
typhoid. The fly is responsible for
much of these. He is the carrier, and
as such is the cause of much illness.
Screen against him and protect all
food, especially that eaten raw, and
milk from eontamination. Many deaths
of babies can be saved by the proper
handling of milk and proper disposal
of human excrement. So many of our
diseases come from taking into our
stomachs human excrement that it
deces seem that we would install sani
tary closets and protect our food and
water supplies—but we are supposed
to be writing about the fly. SWAT
HIM—DO IT NOW.
The seagon is fast approaching when
typhoid fever makes its appearance.
Typhoid comes from a specific germ
beirg thrown off from the hody of
one who has had typhoid and who is
known as a ‘“‘carrier.”
You can protect yourself and loved
ones by using the free typhold vaccine
furnished by the State Board of
Health. It protects you for at least
three years, and no one should neglect
its use. Summer and fall are the
danger periods. so now is the time to
use the preventive.

ity where the public health, safety and
comfort are proparly looked after and
safeguarded, carries with also the
responsivility of doing your full share
