Health  Notes 
Diet  for  Bright’s  Disease 
1  was  taken  sick  about  two  months  ago; 
the  doctor  said  I  have  Bright’s  disease, 
but  if  I  would  take  good  care  of  myself, 
not  work  any,  and  not  eat  any  protein, 
I  might  live  many  years.  I  am  71  years 
young,  and  would  like  to  be  of  some  use 
yet  if  I  can.  Will  you  give  me  a  list  of 
foods  suitable  for  my  case,  aud  also  a  list 
of  foods  to  be  avoided.  n.  c.  is. 
Bright’s  disease  is  a  general  term  cov¬ 
ering  several  different  forms  of  inflam¬ 
mation  of  the  kidneys,  these  forms  being 
differentiated  chiefly  by  the  particular 
structures  in  the  kidneys  which  are  affect¬ 
ed.  There  are  at  least  four  different 
types  of  Bright’s  disease,  with  some  sub¬ 
divisions,  and  the  treatment  varies  with 
the  particular  type  from  which  one  is 
suffering.  You  will  see,  therefore,  that 
it  is  impossible  to  lay  down  rules  for 
diet  or  medicinal  management  of 
“Bright’s  disease” :  the  physician  must 
have  some  idea  of  the  particular  condi¬ 
tion  present. 
Assuming  that  you  have  a  chronic  form 
of  nephritis,  common  in  men  of  your 
age,  and  that  you  need  a  restricted  pro- 
tein  diet,  you  do  not  need  a  list  of  foods 
which  may  be  used  or  which  must  he 
avoided,  but  rather  a  general  idea  of 
what  must  be  used  in  moderation.  The 
chief  high  protein  foods  which  you  are 
accustomed  to  eating  are  all  the  meats, 
eggs,  and,  perhaps,  beans  among  the  veg¬ 
etable  foods.  Unless  otherwise  instruct¬ 
ed  by  your  physician,  eat  moderately  of 
these,  choosing  those  that  are  most  easily 
digested,  and  avoiding  smoked  meats  and 
meat  soups.  Avoid  excessive  use  of  con¬ 
diments  and  salt.  Eat  freely  of  vege¬ 
tables,  lightly  of  meats,  wear  flannels, 
avoid  exposure  and  overwork,  worry,  al¬ 
cohol  and  excessive  use  of  tobacco.  If 
you  can  afford  it,  spend  the  Winter 
months  in  a  warm  climate.  You  may 
have  different  instructions  from  phy¬ 
sicians  who  know  you  and  your  condi¬ 
tion  ;  if  so,  obey  these  physicians.

Tuberculosis  Infection 
I)o  you  think  there  is  danger  in  using 
clothes  that  have  been  worn  by  a  tuber¬ 
cular  patient?  A  relative  has  this  dis¬ 
ease.  She  is  xrery  stylish,  and  soon  dis¬ 
cards  her  pretty,  but  out-of-fashion 
clothes.  Then  they  are  sent  to  me,  for 
myself  or  to  make  over.  mbs.  b. 
Under  the  circumstances,  as  you  state 
them,  I  do  not  think  that  you  need  have 
any  fear  of  this  disease  being  transmitted 
to  anyone  in  your  family  through  the  me¬ 
dium  of  these  articles  of  wearing  apparel. 
There  is  only  one  way  that  tuberculosis 
can  be  transmitted  by  a  person  having 
the  pulmonary  form  of  the  disease;  that 
is  through  the  sputum.  If  that  is  prop¬ 
erly  taken  care  of,  and  patients  in  all 
sanitariums  are  taught  to  take  care  of  it, 
there  is  no  danger  even  in  associating 
with  the  patient  in  the  family,  and  it  is 
hardly  conceivable  that  outer  clothing 
could  become  and  remain  so  contaminated 
with  tubercular  sputum  as  to  be  a  source 
of  danger.  The  germs  of  tuberculosis  are 
soon  killed  ‘by  exposure  to  sunlight  and 
air,  aud,  like  all  other  disease  germs,  are 
unable  to  withstand  the  temperature  of 
boiling  water. 
It  would  be  well,  before  using  any 
linen  or  underclothing  that  had  been 
worn  by  a  tubercular  patient,  to  put  it 
through  the  wash,  subjecting  it  to  boiling 
in  the  process.  Coats,  bats  and  other 
clothing  not  washable,  should  be  hung 
out  in  the  air  and  sunlight  for  a  day  or 
two,  and  thoroughly  whipped  or  brushed 
to  remove  the  dust  from  them.  These  are 
only  reasonable  precautions  that  should 
be  taken  with  clothing  from  any  case  of 
communicable  disease  before  it  is  worn 
by  healthy  people,  even  though  the  cloth¬ 
ing  comes  to  them  presumably  clean. 
Investing  Money  for  Boys 
Several  years  ago  I  gave  two  of  my 
nephews  a  ewe  lamb.  At  two  years  of 
age  she  had  twin  ewe  lambs.  When  the 
latter  were  one  year  old  my  brother  died 
with  the  “flu.”  '  1 1  is  widow,  having  no 
place  to  keep  the  sheep,  made  a  bargain 
with  me  to  take  them  to  double- in  four 
years.  They  are  due  February  10.  19211. 
[would  like  to  buy  the  sheep,  but  if 
I  do  and  pay  the  money  to  her,  the 
sons  will  never  see  one  cent  of  it.  She 
was  appointed  administratrix  after  my 
brother’s  death.  There  was  only  personal 
property,  which  was  sold  at  auction  and 
otherwise.  She  settled  some  of  the  debts, 
took  the  rest  with  $1,000  life  insurance 
and  some  war-saving  stamps,  put  tin*  chil¬ 
dren,  of  which  there  were  six.  the  oldest 
13  years  old.  out  around  the  country 
wherever  she  could  and  proceeded  to  have 
a  good  time.  There  was  no  guar¬ 
dian  appointed  over  these  children.  Now 
the  point  is,  what  right  has  she  to  the 
money  paid  for  sheep  if  sold?  They  were 
a  gift  to  my  nephews  by  me,  and  always 
have  been  considered  so.  How  could 
I  best  invest  this  money  for  them  so  they 
could  get  it  when  they  become  of  age? 
They  are  now  11  and  14  years  old.  M.  r.. 
Under  such  circumstances  we  should 
take  the  position  that  this  money  certainly 
belongs  to  the  boys.  We  should  invest  it 
in  Liberty  bonds  or  Treasury  certificates, 
and  hold  it  until  the  boys  come  of  age. 
Do  your  crops 
brin^  top  prices  ? 
The  best  grades  of  any  crop  fetch  the  big  prices. 
Intelligent  use  of  commercial  fertilizer  will  not  only 
increase  your  yield  per  acre,  but  will  better  the 
grade.  For  instance,  the  Ohio  Experiment  Station 
found  a  yield  of  8.4  bushels  of  wheat,  with  49% 
shrunken  kernels  when  no  commercial  fertilizer 
was  used,  while  the  yield  was  28.33  bushels  with 
only  16%  shrunken  when  a  reasonable  amount  of 
fertilizer  was  applied.  Potatoes  are  larger  and  more 
mealy,  and  corn  is  better  filled  out  and  the  kernels 
larger,  when  suitable  commercial  fertilizer  is  added. 
Royster’s  fertilizers  represent  40  years  experience 
in  furnishing  properly  balanced  plant  food  for  the 
various  crops.  They  merit  your  confidence.  It  will 
pay  you  to  learn  the  true  story  of  fertilizer.  W rite
