INFANTRY CONSOLIDATION Governor William G. Stratton has announced a plan for consolidating the two infantry divisions of the Illinois National Guard which is expected to result in increased efficiency of operations, and a saving of more than three million dollars to Illinois taxpayers during the 1955-57 biennium. The governor pointed out that prior to World War n Illinois had only one infantry division, the 33rd, in its National Guard. The 44th division was added when the guard was reorganised after the close of hostilities in World War n. Available state and armory board armories throughout Illinois will be used by the consolidated division, and the building of new armories will be curtailed. However, plans for new armory construction at Rock Falls, Joliet and Mattoon will be carried out, the governor said.

Scurvy is now known to be caused by lack of vitamin C. It was by chance that sailors discovered that citrus fruits could prevent scurvy. Science revealed that the anti-scurvy--antiscorbutic-- properties were due to the acid--vitamin C--now known as ascorbic acid. Although scurvy is rare in this country today, a lack of adequate amounts of ascorbic acid in the diet can be recognised. A shortage will result in weakened walls of the capillaries--those tiny blood vessels which form an amazing network in the body. Thoee who have mild shortages may bruise easily. Lads of energy, muddy complexions and slow healing of wounds : ~ dren is frequently c vitamin C is not too advanced, it may be corrected by adequate amounts of the vitamin in the diet. Because the body is limited in its ability to store vitamin C, this nutrient must be obtained daily. The easiest way to meet the daily C requirement is through a generous serving of citrus fruit at Breakfast In fact, a well planned breakfast will not only furnish vitamin C but will furnish significant portions of the other nutrients we require. Enriched or whole grain cereal or toast, an egg or serving of breakfast meat and a glass of milk supply th4 breakfast's share of proteins, B vitamins ana minerals. rounds are other indications of a deficiency.

Often overlooked as sources of this nutrient are potatoes, cabbage and green vegetables, especially if uncooked. Although vitamin C is more readily destroyed by heat or exposure to air than other vitamins, it is not always lost in cooking; most of the original "C" is retained in a baked potato. Acid fruits, prepared and. Refrigerated overnight lose little of this vitamin by breakfast time. STATE APPOINTMENTS Governor William G.

McHenry, HL Phone 421-J m i H l U M I t l M I I I I H t Health Talks 1 l l l M l t l l l U H t H m Understanding The Epileptic The convulsions associated With epilepsy attacks are possibly the principal reason why the public fails to understand the peison alflicted with this disease. This is an unfortunate attitude, the educational committee of the Illinois State Medical society observes in a health talk, because understanding will help the epileptic person to be accepted by society, rather than be treated as an outcast. Epilepsy means seizure. It is associated with a disturbance in the rhythm of the brain cells. It lias not been definitely proved to be hereditary, but some persons seem to inherit a tendency to it. y v The cause of epilepsy is, not known. Injuries to the twain from a fall or blow on the head aie apparently a factor. So arc diseases like meningitis, tumor of the brain or hardening of brain arteries. Until 1938 very little cuald be done for the afflicted person except minimize the seizures with sedative drugs. At that time, however, it was shown that a certain group of drugs offer hope of relief to the epileptic, "fey lessening the intensity of attacks and making them less frequent. The ketogealc diet which produces acidity is also used in treatment. There are three kinds of seizures. In grand mal the patient loses consciousness and falls, becomes rigid snd has spasmodic jerkings of the limbs. Petit mal occurs only rarely In adults. In petit mal, the patient loses consciousness for from five to fifteen seconds, but does not fall and does not have movements. Epileptic lents, so-called lent or psychomotor third type, are relatively They consist of a loss of consciousness or cloudiness for varying periods, in which the person, though rigid, may walk about and act as though conscious. Epilepsy does not ^ntceesarily mean mental deficiency. It may appear in dull, average or even brilliant persons. Recurring attacks may not develop for weeks, months or even years. Seizures may develop while the patient is idle or asleep. The epileptic should lead as normal a life as possible, with restrictions on the type of employment. No epileptic should work at a height, around unprotected moving machinery, or where he might incur a burn, or where the lives of others would be in danger in case of a seizure, as in the flriv- Hpg of an automobile. But the epileptic should be encouraged to take an active part in society and in gainful employment. When public understanding is more assured, greater strides can be made in the rehabilitation of the epileptic. In seeking employment, the epileptic should be frank with prospective employers. Conversely, the employer should give him all opportunity. Prior to the war, there were more than 500,- 000 ° epileptics in the United ALL GOOD WISHES WISHING YOU A # * * PANTRY DELICACIES lit' Riverside Dr. , m. g beginning of a New Yaor, truly grotcful for your confkfcnc* end good wjll.
