Y Forum Eat and Grow Younger Are You Aging Too Fast? Be Smart-Check Your Diet! By Illinois Attorney General William J.Scott Buying A Mattress? New Regulations! From the time we were children, most of us probably have heard the warning, stated and restated: "Don't smoke in bed!" (Ideally, we shouldn't smoke at all, but that's another column.) Buf| despite the number of times the warning is repeated, people still will smoke in bed; they still will fall asleep while their cigarettes or ashes are lighted; fires still will result; and people still will die - often taking with them ymocent victims in the same Household. But now, at last, mattress manufacturers are helping out by producing flame retardant mattresses and pads - as required by federal law. If you've been in the market--tj,e whole you may end up washing out i flame retardant capabilities of a mattress pad you buy. Which leads me to my next topic.... -- Gift Appliances for Christ­ mas? Read the Instructions! In my last column I men­ tioned warranties and guarantees. Let me emphasize again, however, that you have to do your part! Instructions come with new appliances -- not only in­ structions on how to use them, but instructions on their care and maintenance. A lot of people will read far enough to get the thing going - but no farther! Reliable manufacturers tell you how to care for your ap­ pliance once it's in operation. Read the instruction booklet This newspaper is pleased to commentary on^ present-day fc Yoynger," by Lelord Kordel. The series is adapted, has been an insty it has appeared. Don't miss a singl [ay a hard-hitting "Eat and Grow >k from which this sensation wherever one of the 24 parts. for a mattress lately, perhaps you've noticed labeling con­ cerning flammability. This was required under the Mattress Flammability Standard of the Flammable Fabrics act, which went into effect June 22, 1973. Six months thereafter, com­ panies were permitted to manufacture mattresses which did not comply with the stan­ dard, as long as the mattresses were conspicuously and prominently labeled with a flammability warning. New Mattresses Must Be Flame Retardant It's The Law! However, now all mattresses and mattress pads produced must meet federal requirements for cigarette ignition resistance. So if you're buying a mattress, be sure it was manufactured after Dec. 22,1973, when the new law went into effect. Thfe enforcement regulations, proposed June ,11, 1973, and published recently in the Federal Register, put a responsibility for record keeping on the manufacturers and importers. In describing these regulations, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety commission writes: ^Manufacturers must maintain written records which include evidence of compliance with chosen sampling plans, production unit identification, prototype and production test results and details, date and quantity of each sale or delivery, and the name and address of the purchaser or recipient, and (fetalis of the flame retardant treatments used. These and other records must be kept for three years. "Retailers must keep records of items marketed or handled, their source, and date of receipt, but are not required to record the names of individual consumers or the date of purchase. "Labeling regulations for mattress pads stipulate that any pad treated with a chemical fire retardant or containing any fire retardant treated components must be labeled "T". All treated pads must include precautionary instructions for washing and care." That last item is important, too! Read the instructions, or * way through. By LELORD KORDEL Number One of a Series MR. U. AWOKE one morning to a disturbing discovery. A panicky feeling welled up from the pot belly that had begun to bulge out below his belt. He glanced across the breakfast table at Mrs. U. Dismayed, he realized for the first time that the woman facing him was in the same unpleasant fix as he now found himself. He was getting old--and so was she! His usual zest for breakfast was gone! Why did people have to grow old so soon? He was only 46. Sometimes little things, like overloading electrical cir­ cuits...or chopping the ice off refrigerator cooling-coils with an ice pick...is all that's needed to render real damage to your appliance. And it's your own fault! A good idea is to have one special drawer or file where you keep instructions, guarantees and warranties for all your appliances, then make a habit of reading over the materials periodically. It's good for your appliance - and good for your pocketbook! CORNER Our Bountiful Harvests We live in a climate-control world in our modern, technologi­ cal nation. Many of us have iso­ lated ourselves from our neigh­ bors and from our God, the Fath­ er, the Creator and the Provider of our bountiful harvests. Many of us, on the surface only, pretend as if we can do without God in our daily lives. If a storm approaches, we come in­ side into our secure homes. If it gets too hot, we turn on the air conditioning - if it gets too cold, we simply turn on the heat. And if the crops fail somewhere, our local supermarkets manage to get a good supply of alternate foods, so we never go hungry. Too many of us put God in the outer fringes of our minds - we think of the supermarket as our source of food and our jobs as sources of security. But the truth is that God is the source of everything we have and everything we need. God has pro­ vided for man since the dawning of time and he will provide for Us through future generations. It is to Him that all the praises and thanks must go - for he always was and always will be. How sure are you of your future? Look at old Joe Jenks, who had lived on a neighboring farm when he was a boy. Joe had got up before sunrise every morning, did more work than the hired man, ate heartily, slept like a top, took a young second wife, and fooled the whole community by living hale and hearty, well into his 90's. What was wrong? Why should­ n't men and women keep on looking and feeling young and alive past that momentous 40th birthday? No reason, actually, why everyone past 40 shouldn't look and feel young and vigor­ ous. BODY MORE THAN MACHINE We often speak of the human body as a "machinc." Yet, actu­ ally, your body is more than a machinc--it's an extremely com­ plex laboratory where intricate chemical reactions take place which no human chemist has even been able to duplicate. The awe-inspiring thing about this mysterious body of yours is that when some "mechanical" part breaks down, under ideal conditions your "chemical lab­ oratory" can rush quickly pro­ duced substances to the spot that needs 'repairing, in order that life may go on and the body's efficiency not be serious­ ly impaired. You'll notice I said that "un­ der ideal conditions" the chemi­ cal laboratory in your body can produce quickly those mending substances needed to put injured or worn-out body parts back in good working order. What are those ideal condi­ tions? I I o Lpjorlrd: *• winter x clearance " SEEKS POST Roy E.

State Collects $3,116,187 In Truck Fees A record $3,116,187 was collected during 1973 in forced registrations from trucks entering Illinois without proper licensing, Secretary of State Michael J. Howiett announced this week. $his figure was almost double the $1,651,760 paid by unlicensed out-of-state truckers in 1972. "Our emphasis on forced registration this past year has been of substantial importance to the Illinois trucking in­ dustry," Howlett said. "They have been paying established license fees while many out-of- state truckers were using our highways in competition without the added costs." Mainly responsible for the increased revenue was an extensive training program in the Secretary of State's in­ vestigation division. Truck license violation procedures were stressed in the training of all 200 investigators.

In Uruguay and Argentina I noticed an amazing number of older persons whose pep and stamina were nothing short of miracu­ lous, compared to that of the average American of the same age. On the other hand, in the more tropical parts of Brazil, I was singularly impressed by the lack of elderly persons to be seen on the streets. "A matter of diet," was my explanation, remembering the high-starch diets of tropical Bra­ zil as compared to the meals I had noted being set before the Uruguayans in the city's splen- N^id restaurants. Plates contain­ ing" liberal portions of meat, roasted or broiled; bowls gener­ ously heaped with green saladfc; and trays of temptingly ar­ ranged fresh fruits. ABILITIES BELIE YEARS In Argentina, on an estancia not far from Buenos Aires, I had a close-up view of those oldsters whose appearances and abilities belied their calendar years. My host was a wealthy Argen­ tinian, educated in England, whose estancia was devoted to raising blooded horses for rac­ ing and for polo. His pastures extended for thousands of acres, and across them roamed large numbers of the finest horseflesh I'v(T ever seen -- and some of the youngest "old men." "You're to be commended for keeping i>n those older fellows," I remarked to my host. "In my country they would long sincte been/teplaced or pensioned off." "Not at all," came his quick reply. "I'm very lucky to have them. They are the backbone of my estancia. Most of them were with mv grandfather. Mv worry is what I shall do without them. But that probably wont be for another 10 years or so." Before leaving the estancia near Buenos Aires, I took a meal with Justino and the other gau- chos down at their quarters. A whole sheep (sometimes it was a side of beef) was roasted in the skin over an open fire. When the meat was done to a turn. IS THAT DOfi/£ WITH MIRRORS ?

Chances nicely browned on the outside but tender and juicy on the in­ side, large chunks were hacked off by each man with the long- bladed knife he wears at the back of his broad belt. These large chunks of meat, followed by second and .third helpings until nothing was left but the carcass, constituted the entire meal -- no potatoes, no bread, no pie. Nothing but meat, followed by a gourd of the brew made from the green herb call­ ed mate. Yet this was not an exceptional meal with them -- it was the diet they followed three times daily, year in, year out. FOR BETTER NUTRITION Meat, of course, is another way of saying protein. For meat provides the highest type, most complete protein. "All very interesting," you may comment, "but is it good nutrition, this meat-and-mate diet of your gaucho?" To which I hasten to reply with a big, loud "Yes!" Far bet­ ter nutrition than is to be found on the expensively itemized men­ us of the finest epicurean res­ taurants in our cosmopolitan centers, with their dozens of tempting dishes from which to choose -- most of them too starchy, sweet and overcooked. Remember, it is the nutrition­ al pauper who early loses his vitality and glow of youth. Any person who surfeits his body with carbohydrates and starves it of proteins is a nutritional pauper. You'll meet protein in several guises later on. But regardless ly tell us anything abont-fce«-__W£ather will be fair in the immediate future. % The reason for assuming a red sunset means cold weath­ er lies in the fact that clear­ ing weather usually follows the passage of a cold front. In the winter months, most of the fronts are cold and, thus, more often than not, a clear weather sign occurs behind a cold front. morrow's weather?

A faulty diet, Lelord Kordel believes, is often both cause and symptom of much phy­ sical and mental illness in men and women today. His studies of the effects of food on mind and body have rnnrinred him that proper diet can prevent, even elimi­ nate. many illnesses.
