Parents and others concerned with children should therefore give particular attention to the diet of the child, the educatiofal committee of the Illinois State Medical society points out in a HEALTH TALK. The well nourished child Is also less likely to contract disease. It is less susceptible to infection, for it offers stronger resistance to invading germs. The food we eat is the only source of the substances that build muscle, teeth, bones, blood, and the other tissues of the body, and give them their . needed energy and heat. The important foods for the child are milk and milk products, vegetables and fruits, wholegrained cereals and bread, eggs lean meat, fish or poultry and cod-liver oil. If the system assimilates them properly, these foods yield the vitamins and minerals, as well as the protein, fats and carbohydrates necessary to build a sound body. A calory is the unit of measure of heat produced by conversion of foods in the body. It is the amount of heat that will raise the temperature of one kilogram of material by one degree centigrade. Starches, sugars and fats are quick energy-producing foods. Starches are found in such foods as bread, potatoes, corn and peas; sugars in those and in such substances as sugar, syrup, molasses and honey. Fats come in bacon, pork and other fat meats, butter, m a r g a r i n e , c r e a m , n u t s a n d cheese.

Muscle-building foods are thosa .food nutritional habits will help rich in proteins or amino acids, such as beef, pork, lamb, chicken, fish, milk, cheese, eggs, beans, cereal and bread. Amino acids are used by the body to form protein. To build good bones and teeth, certain minerals are essential of which the two most important are calcium and phosphorus. Mijk and cheese are high in calcium, as are foods made with milk, such as ice cream, cocoa and cream soups, and green vegetables. Phosphorus, obtained from foods rich in protein, combines with calcium in bones and teeth, with proteins in muscle tissue and with fats In some body fats. Iron is necessary to miild blood. All the iron in Hie body weighs about the same as a penny, but this small amount Is most important. Without iron th^' red cells lose their power to combine with oxygen in the lungs and carfy it Capillar times. Teaching the child assure the development of a healthy adult Giving the body the proper fuel will do much to make It strong. A regular physical examination will help to keep it running ttnoothly aad efficiently as well as to assure the early detection of disease. , (NOTE--Last week's issue of the Plaindealer contained one of ti& Health Talks released by the educational committee of the Illinois State Medical society which have become a regular feature of the newspaper. That particular subject was "Understanding the Eye." One of McHenry's competent optometrists,, Dr. John T. Gray, wrote a letter to the Plaindealer to clear up any misunderstanding which might exist concerning the last sentence, "In having your eyes examined, consult a doctor of throughout the body. Oxygen in ! medicine who is an oculist or turn Is essential to life. Iron is contained in meats, green vegetables, dried fruits, potatoes, fish and whole grain or enriched ophthalmologist. He Is trained to recognize and prescribe for disease." ^ Dr. Gray's letter reads, in part, bread and cereals: A number of follows; other minerals are also essential in extremely small amounts, such as iodine and copper. Each day's food should be balanced to include all of these proteins, sugars, fats, minerals and vitamins, to help the child build a strong body. Meals should be of medicine. Optometrists study •or s period of Ave years concentrating on the eyes at all tlmea. They do not branch out later Into some other field as medical men sometimes do. Therefore they are specialists in sight from the moment they are licensed. As a part of their course they study in full, diseases of the eye and all the symptoms of such disease. They are trained to recognize any disease that might manifest itself in the eyes and are fully aware of any treatment that might be indicated. If, during the course of an examination, any disease is uncovered, the patient is immediately referred to a doctor of medicine for further treatment. It is by this cooperation between the two professions that the patient is assured of the finest care at all times." DELIVERY OF NEW LICENSE PLATES DELAYED AT XMAl "In order to remove any misunderstanding. I would like to acquaint you with the following facts. There are In all forty-eight states only two persons who are recognized as being qualified to examine the eyes. They are, a doctor of optometry and a doctor' An unusually heavy deluge of Christmas mail will slow down delivery of 1952 license plates to Illinois motorists, C. E. Hodgman, (assistant to Secretary of State According to Hoigmau, license [plate applications are being pro* inegsad at the usual rate, but the plates are mailed aa third class matter and ' consequently under postal regulations cannot receive the same handling privileges afforded firpt class mail and gift parcels. This delay will be particularly true, Hodgman Mated, in large cities throughout the state where the influx t>t Christmas mail is extremely heavy. Postal regulations, Hodgman said, also require that when deliveries of license plates are made someone must be at home to re-; ceive them if the mail receptacle^ is not sufficiently large to accom-; modate the plates. In such ln-= stances a notice of attempted delivery Is placed In the mail box and the plates are returned to the postofflce and held until called for. License applicants were urged by Hodgman not to contact the office of the Secretary of State ins an effort to obtain delivery of thet 1952 plates, inasmuch as mail de« liveries will be speeded up im4 mediately after the Christmas' rush has subsided. ;; • sii* *T •< ' ^ UnWed i ttatoa. rise, allf rertuilfcp m / will btv«r«at!y wnded tta s«B .< f is exceptionally high in quilftyi&A. unique in character..
