Anthony C. Pintozzi of McHenry is included. If your little toddler is reluctant to give up hie bot­ tle, psychologists suggest putting an ounce of milk in a small glass that he can handle. Just set it on the tray every day or so, hoping he'll drink it. If one sip is all he takes dont even try to, give him two. Act as if it doesn't make any differ­ ence to you. Coping with a reluctant weaner takes a lot of patience. So, while baby is learning to drink from a glass, you might ease your own tension with a relaxing cup of hot tea. interesting to flavor variation potato an old favorite with sauerkraut. It's no small potatoes to save some money these days, so a tasteful way to extend your potato salad--and increase its nutritional value--should be very welcome. One way is with sauerkraut. A three-quarter cup serving of kraut contributes as much as one-fourth the recommended daily allowance of vitamin C for adults* significant amounts of other vitamins and minerals such as calcium and phosphorus. •$*' > SAUERKRAUT POTATO SALAD 3 1/2 cups sauerkraut, drained 6 cups cooked, diced potatoes 2 hard-boiled eggs, chopped 3/4 cup mayonnaise (or low calorie mayonnaise) N 1 teaspoon dry mustard 1/2 teaspoon paprika Salt and pepper to taste Combine sauerkraut, potatoes and eggs; toss lightly and chill.

Ducks Unlimited Sets March 9 Banquet Date Hie McHenry County East ..chapter of Ducks Unlimited will be holding its seventh annual banquet March 9, 1962 at the John Evans Inn, Crystal Lake. In the past three years, the local chapter has raised in excess of $100,000 which has been forwarded to the Ducks U n l i m i t e d n a t i o n a l headquarters in order to develop a waterfowl habitat restoration program in Canada, where more than 70 percent of all waterfowl on the North American con­ tinent originate. Founded in 1937, Ducks Unlimited has constructed over 1^700 wildlife habitat products creating nearly two million water acres and over 12,000 miles of shore line. There are over 1,700 volunteer committees in the United States and Canada and it is the goal of Ducks Unlimited to put 80 cents out of every $1.00 collected directly to work for its in­ tended purpose in Canada. The local chapter hopes to raise in excess of $50,000 this year. The program will follow the same format as in past years with hundreds of prizes and an auction. Tickets are available from either Jim Bishop, chair­ man, at 455-0244 or David Ladd, ticket chairman, 384- 3133. Cost of a dinner ticket includes the one-year annual membership to Ducks Unlimited. Tradition associates pearls with tears and opals with bad luck. • Social drinkers may think they have no nutritional problems but two to four drinks a day may provide 15 to 20 percent of erne's daily caloric needs, and most of those calories are "empty", said University of Illinois Home Economics advisor Nancy Moore. That means the remaining diet or about 60 percent of the daily calories have to provide 100 percent of the vitamins, minerals and protein to meet the daily requirements, making social drinking a major threat to good nutrition, Ms. Moore said. Women require 1800 to 2200 dilocalories a day and men need 2000 to 2800. Three highballs every night, each containing 2 oz. of 86-proof bourbon would supply 410 calories or 15 to 20 percent of the daily caloric need of many individuals. The following formula can be used to determine the number of calories in one drink: 0.8 x proof x ounces equals kilocalories. Since proof is double the per­ centage of alcohol, the calories from wine or beer can be determined by doubling the percentage of alcohol and applying the same formula. In 1978, Americans spent $40 billion on alcoholic beverages. This, represents 14 percent of the total food and beverage dollars, and amounts to 22.4 gallons of beer, 1.9 gallons of wine and two gallons of liquor for e v e r y m a n , w o m a n a n d child. Ms. Moore distinguished between two types of drinkers: those who eat and drink and those who just drink, replacing food with alcohol The first type of drinker is adding excess calories to the diet with alcohol. These people run the risk of weight problems which can create other medical disorders, Ms. Moore noted. Social drinkers should worrf about obesity because they have to eat nutrient- rich foods to make up for all (hose empty calories. A decent diet may be a hard order to fill for the moderate drinkers who spend a lot of time in bars where they are surrounded by pretzels and pizzas. The true alcoholic modifies the diet to exclude foods. Those drinkers who are diluting their nutrients run the risk of nutrient deficiencies and liver diseases, Ms. Moore said. "One of the only places in the U.S. where we see t r a d i t i o n a l v i t a m i n deficiencies any more is the alcoholic ward," she said. At the turn of the century, vitamin deficiencies were prevalent in this country. Then the first vitamin was discovered in 1910. Now doctors understand enough about vitamins that there aren't many deficiency problems. Supported by the U. of I. division of Nutritional Sciences and the USDA, researchers at the University of Illinois have been using animal models and recently began analyzing blood serum from alcoholics at the Veterans Administration Medical center in Danville. They have found a link between alcohol con­ sumption and reduced storage of vitamin A in the liver. However, Ms. Moore does not recommend taking vitamin A supplements unless under doctor's orders, because vitamin A can be very toxic. Vitamin A is fairly far down on the list of deficiencies associated with alcoholism, although night blindness and sterility in alcoholics have been con­ nected to vitamin A problems. Other vitamin deficiencies are more common in alcoholics: 30 percent have folic acid shortages and 15 to 20 percent have vitamin B1 (thiamin) problems. Folic acid is needed for cell division and a lack of it can cause anemia. Thiamin is needed for metabolism of carbohydrates. Alcohol also causes in- flamation of the stomach, pancreas and intestine and can result in malnutrition by interfering with food digestion and absorption. It can interfere with the ac­ tivation of vitamins by liver cells. As liver damage in­ creases,. utilization of nutrients decreases. Heavy drinking can cause cirrhosis by disturbing liver metabolism, the body's main chemical plant. It is the primary site of metabolic processes ranging from the synthesis of proteins to the detoxification of drugs and other foreign substances. The first stage of liver disease is the development of reversible fatty liver. If heavy drinking continues, this evolves, in most people, toward more severe and irreversible liver disease: hepatitis and then cirrhosis. Drunkenness is no prerequisite for the development of liver damage. Ms. Moore cites a study in which volunteers r e c e i v e d a n u t r i t i o n a l l y optimal low fat diet. The volunteers also had six drinks a day, a total of about 10 oz. of 86-proof alcohol. On that regimen there was a progressive rise in liver fat. A routine thin-needle biopsy revealed significant fat accumulation after a few days, and there was an PACE 3 - PLAINDK \IJSR average eightfold increase over the 18-day course of the experiment. These liver changes were brought about by a rather moderate ingestion of alcohol which did not result in any clinical signs of in­ toxication.
