Alkaline-Ash
Diet
By
DR. JAMES W. BARTON
® Bell Syndicate.—WNU Service.
/~\NE W of the discouraging con
ditions encountered by a
physician who is endeavoring to
reduce the weight of a patient
is to find some organic ailment
of the body present which in¬
terferes with the usual system
of treatment — decreasing the
amount of food eaten and in¬
creasing the amount of exer¬
cise.
Some of the conditions commonly
are: heart dis¬
Dr. Barton
group of disorders are the common¬
est complications and occur in a
large proportion of overweights.
In the treatment of heart, blood¬
vessel and kidney ailments the
amount of protein (meat, eggs, fish)
in the diet must be reduced. And
rest is absolutely necessary.
The usual method of trying to re¬
duce weight in an individual with
heart, kidney or bloodvessel com¬
plication is not to cut out the pro
teids completely but' to give just
half the usual quantity. “The diet is
necessarily composed largely of
fruits and vegetables; hence, it also
becomes a distinctly alkaline-ash
diet.”
Two Sample Diets.
Dr. Harry Gauss, instructor in
medicine, University of Colorado,
school of medicine, in his book,
“Clinical Dietetics” gives seven dif¬
ferent daily diets of 1,200 calories
two of which are given below. The
amounts are put roughly in ounces
instead of centimeters and grams.

Quinine Test for Goiter.
When a patient shows an enlarge¬
ment (slight or large) in the thy¬
roid gland in the neck, together with
a rapid heart, trembling of the
limbs or general nervousness, the
physician usually advises a meta¬
bolism test to find out whether or
not the severe type of goitre is pres¬
ent. In this type all the processes
including the heart beat are going
too rapidly. The patient goes to the
hospital or to the physician’s office
without breakfast some morning,
rests for about an hour, and then the
rate at which the body processes are
working is measured by this “meta¬
bolism” tester. Sometimes more
than one examination is made if the
patient seems much excited.
It is interesting to read in the
Journal of Clinical Medicine, St.
Louis, of the observations of Dr. I.
Bram, Philadelphia, who states that
“from my observations in a series
of more than 4,000 cases it appears
that the quinine test for the severe
form of goitre is a dependable
guide; the chance or frequency
being wrong being only one in
twenty cases (5 per cent).”
The ability to take or
quinine appears tp vary in
ent individuals but in exact
or proportion to the
rate (rate at which the body
esses work) so that the higher
rate the more quinine the
ual can take without having
symptoms of quinine
These symptoms are fullness in

Highest Laboratory
in World Built on
Top of Mt. Evans
Protected Against Wind,
Lightning and Rats
Denver.—The campus of the
University of Denver has been
extended up to the peak of Mt.
Evans at 14,259 feet. There, at
the end of the highest automo¬
bile road in the United States,
stands the highest laboratory in
the world, being some three
thousand feet higher than the
famous laboratory on the Jung¬
frau Joch in Europe.
This laboratory is a joint project
of the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology and the University of
Denver. The building was pre-fab
ricated in Denver, cut into sections
and transported from Denver to Mt.
Evans in one day by the use of a
nine-truck caravan.
CCC men did yeoman service in
carrying 40 sections averaging in
weight from 200 to 500 pounds, up
the rocky knoll from the terminal
of the automobile road to the site
of the laboratory. They also con¬
structed the foundation for the
building.
Will Stand Wind and Weather.
The laboratory is designed to
withstand a wind velocity of 150
miles per hour and to screen out
electrical disturbances of this re¬
gion, which at times cause electric
sparks to jump from one’s finger¬
tips, ears, and nose, and make the
hair stand out like the quills of a
frightened porcupine. Also it had
to be made as impervious and im¬
pregnable to rodents and souvenir¬
hunting tourists as possible.
To make the structure wind
proof, side walls were eliminated,
while the protection from lightning
was accomplished by having the
end walls, the roof, and the floor
completely surrounded with metal
which is connected to ground wires
buried deeply in the mountain.
This also protects against rodents.
Use of the laboratory will not be
limited to research work on cosmic
rays. The first work done was that
by Dr. Fred D’Amour of the de¬
partment of zoology, who studied
the physiological changes in the
rat due to high altitude. The de¬
partment of meteorology has long
desired a station at high altitude
where observers could be placed.
Cattle Tick Fever
Nearly Wiped Out
in United States
Washington.—The areas un¬
der federal quarantine against
cattle tick fever in the South
have just reduced by 28,150
square miles, eliminating all
remaining quarantined parishes
in Louisiana and leaving under
the ban three small blocks in
Florida and two larger groups
of counties on the eastern and
southwestern boundaries of
Texas. Total wiping out of the
disease in the United States is
in sight.
Cattle tick fever is a classic in
the annals of bacteriology and medi¬
cine because it was the first dis¬
ease proved to be carried by an
insect—or more strictly, in this par¬
ticular case, a tick; for ticks
are not insects. It was in the eight¬
een-nineties that the late Dr. Theo¬
bald Smith, then of the United
States Department of Agriculture,
followed a “blind hunch” supplied
by Texas stockmen and proved sci¬
entifically that ticks are the car¬
riers of this disease. Later, it was
found that insects as well as other
species of ticks are responsible for
the spread of many diseases af¬
flicting both human beings and ani¬
mals.
Dipping and Quarantine.
The United States Department of
Agriculture, with the strong co-op¬
eration of the states concerned, un¬
dertook to eradicate this costly
malady of cattle. Two principal
means are employed: dipping the
cattle in tick-killing baths and
forbidding shipment of animals that
might be harboring ticks into dis¬
ease-free areas. this campaign
How effective has
been is told by a glance at the De¬
partment of Agriculture’s “tick
map”. On July 1, 1906, when the
work was first taken in hand, the
cattle tick fever area included prac¬
tically the whole South, plus the
southern half of California—a total
of 728,565 square miles. The areas
left under quarantine now add up
to only 33,571 square miles, not
much more than the single state of
South Carolina.
How Old Testament
People Pictured
the God of Israel
Portrait of 1200 B. C.
Unearthed in Syria ,
By EMILY C. DAVIS
TITHAT did Jehovah, God of
VV Israel, look like—as people
of the Old Testament pictured
Him?
Biblical Israelites ventured no
real portraits. Other nations might
surround themselves with statues of
their deit' s, or engraved pictures,
or bas-reliefs. But the ten com¬
mandments forbade graven images.
And even though Israel gave in to
temptation to make a golden calf,
and even though some Israelites
had a weakness for clay figurines of
heathen goddesses, there was no
known attempt to portray Jehovah.
Bas-relief Found in Syria.
Special interest, therefore, is
aroused by discovery of a portrait
which gives the modern world a
fairly good idea of how the ancient
world visualized Jehovah. The por¬
trait is a bas-relief from the Twelfth
century B. C., unearthed at Ras
Shamra in Syria, where a Canaan
it city stood.
French archaeologists, directed
by Prof. Claude Schaeffer of the
French National Museums, are
finding ruins of Ras Shamra a veri¬
table treasure city for evidences of
lost history.
The bas-relief shows the deity El,
mentioned in the Old Testament as
a name for absolute Deity, and lat¬
er, Prof. Schaeffer says, becoming
God of Israel under the name of
Jehovah, or Yahveh.
Stern-Faced and Bearded.
The Canaanite sculpt,r has
carved a striking profile of a ven¬
erable, stern-faced individual wear¬
ing a beard and dressed in ankle
length costume and high peaked
headdress. He sits stiffly on a high,
richly ornamented throne with a
footstool. Facing is the small king
of the city, devoutly holding up his
scepter and a pitcher containing
some offering.
Portraits of El have been known
before, but none of so early a cen¬
tury, which pictures El at the very
time when the Israelites were fight¬
ing for their promised land under
Yahveh’s guidance. unfinished. Ene¬
The bas-relief is
mies invading Ras Shamra from
overseas rudely interrupted life in
the Canaanite city. This portrait
of El was buried in the sculptor’s
wrecked home, to wait 3,000 years
for a public showing.
Fingerprints Tell
About One’s Health
and Character
New York.—Scientists may
find that fingerprints, now
important for identification,
can in the future be made to
tell something of the heredity,
character and health of a per¬
son and his possible criminal
tendencies, members of the
American Orthopsychiatric as¬
sociation learned at their meet¬
ing here. >
First results of research on this
problem were reported by Dr. John
A. Larson, assistant director of the
psychopathic clinic of the recorder’s
court, Detroit. Dr. Larson exam¬
ined the fingerprint patterns of 3,524
mental disease patients at Eloise
state hospital, where he is attend¬
ing neurologist. He found that the
distribution of arches in the finger¬
print patterns was consistently low¬
er in the group of patients suffer¬
ing from schizophrenia than in
groups suffering from other kinds of
mental disease. In a group of sex
delinquents who had no mental dis¬
ease, the distribution of arches
was low but the whorls seemed to
increase.
Great caution must be used in
drawing conclusions from these
findings, Dr. Larson pointed out.
Early studies had convinced Dr.
Larson that fingerprint patterns
obey the laws of heredity. Closest
resemblances were found in a pair
of identical twins. Although finger¬
prints are different for each individ¬
ual, members of a family have cer¬
tain similarities in their fingerprint
patterns. Racial similarities and
differences might also be found, Dr.
Larson believes, so that it may be
possible in the future not only to
identify a person by his fingerprints
but to determine his race and fam¬
ily connections.
