Miss Mary Philli ps, dietitian at Cape Cod Hospital, is here preparing one ol' the special diet meals for which every portion of food must be weighed in grams . (Editor 's Note : This is the .second in a series of special articles The Barnstable Patriot is publishing in the interest of community hospitals everyw here and particularly of the Cape Cod Hospital for which a $1,250,000 building fund pro- gram is now in progress.) Mary Jones decides she simpl y has to lose some weight. She goes on a diet and consumes large quantities of fruit juices, lettuce and coffee. Six weeks later she 's t elling her doctor that she feels run down and nervous and doesn 't have enough energy to do her work properly. What's worse, she hasn 't lost an ounce, j Her neighbor Edith Brown , wants to add a few pounds. She begins eating extra portions of mince pie and chocolate cake. Before long she's wondering why she can't sleep nights and discovers, to her horror Uint she's getting skinnier than, ever. The reasons for these failures , according to Miss Mary Phillips, dietitian at Cape Cod Hospital , are simple. Tbe ladleB are making the same mistakes most people do when they "go on a. diet. " If your health, is good, It's a sim- ple matter to gain or lose 15 pounds ir. six to eight weeks, Miss Phillips says. In either instance, there are two important things to remember: (1) Don't be over-ambitious, and (2) Be sure you eat balanced meals. The girl who has orange juice and coffee for breakfast and then orders a lettuce-tomato salad for lunch will invariably find herself eating chocolates and peanuts dur- ing the afternoon. The combina- tion adds up to more calories, more waist line and less energy. On the other hand, mince pie and chocolate cake are more likely to result In In- digestion than In the curves that are sought. A typical day's menu for a patient on a low-calorie diet at Cape Cod Hospital includes for breakfast a glass of fruit Juice, a bowl ol dark cereal with skim milk and a cup of coffee with milk. Dinner consists of a small lean chop, a non-fatten- ing vegetable, autih as carrots or squash and a serving of fruit. On the supper tray are a cup of clear broth, a vegetable salad and fruit. A slice of dark toast or bread with half a pat of butter accompanies each meal. A glass of skim milk at mid-morning and mid-afternoon substitute tor Mary Jones' candy and peanuts. glass of whole milk. For dinner he has tomato juice, a serving of meat about twice the size of that breakfast consisting of fruit julco, two eggs, cereal with cream arc! a The patient on a hlgh-calorlo diet wakes up to a more substantial given on the weight-losing regime , potatoes, one leafy and one starchy vegetable, a vegetable salad and pudding. His supper Includes a cream >soup, macaroni and cheese, a salad an'd fruit and cookies. If: s given two slices of bread and. a whole pat of butter with each meal and three glasses of whole mil k with crackers during the day. Many successful reducing and gaining programs carried out at the hospital have proved again and again that weight is not simply a matter of how much one eats, but also of WHAT one eats. Striking evidence of this well- known scientific fact, Miss Phillips points out, was revealed in somo ot the countries occupied by the Nazis where people who subsisted chiefly on potatoes, bread and wa- ter gained In weight, but lost in health and vigor. Of course, patients do not como to the hospital merely to gain or lose pounds and the low and high calorie diets, like the score or more of other diets Miss Phillips pre- pares, are only a part of a compre- hensive course of treatment. The role of diet nevertheless Is becoming ever-more important in the treatment of many disorders. More modern facilities are needed for the hospital dietitian's work. For this reason a large and com- pletely equipped special diet kitch- en on the ground floor is to be one of tlie features of the greater Cape Cod Hospital. Cape Cod Hospital Reports WEYAR MATRONS At last week's meeting it was announced that this group had giv- en three pairs of brass candle- sticks to the Congregational .Church. White tapers are to be kept on hand and Mrs. Winthrop V, Wilbur was appointed to see that they are lighted on all spe- cial occasions. A new type of roller skate devel- oped for beginners brings the nov- ice to a stop if he starts to tip too far forward or back. West Yarmouth fcw»www»««"w*'*www" ' _-— E D I T O R I A L S — RH Factor From the time of the Stone Age, children and mothers have died at childbirth. Sometimes, probably there is nothing that medical science could do for the mother and child. Today, we have something that is new and tells the physician before the baby is born, whether difficulties will be encountered at the time of birth. This new and wonderful discovery is called RH Fac- tor. It makes it possible for the doctor to treat mother and child before birth , and as a result a great many lives are being saved today. The Maritime Academy We are fortunate to have in the Town of Barnstable, the Massachusetts Maritime Academy. I am sure that all the peo- ple of Barnstable have observed what a fine body of men make up the student body. Their appearance on the streets is always orderly and they look as if they are ready for Dress Parade. This type of school is certainly a benefit to any community. Thrift The administration that has been voted out of office was the best spenders this country ever had in office. To be sure, we fought a great war, but they spent plenty before the war. Let's not throw money away on needless legislation. A penny saved is a penny earned. Women Juries Women will now be able to serve on juries in Massachusetts. It is certainly about time that they were voted the right. We believe that women are men's equal in this country, and that is as it should be. I know that they will do a fine job. 1 am a Republican—but I like to see fair play and justice done. The Democrats took the defeat at the polls with good grace. I think it would be disgraceful to ask President True- man to resign. He was elected by the people who knew he stood a good chance of becoming president before the term was out. He had all the burdens of the Roosevelt program dropped on his shoulders at once. A Vice-President has very little to do in shaping plans and he was pledged to carry out the program of the last twelve years—a heavy load. People are tired of the way our life has been disrupted by war and dictatorial authority and it would have been a hard , thankful job for any Vice-President to tackle. Nevertheless, he is our President and he has a perfect, right to serve his term out. There are different parties but we are all one people—it is our government and our country. Let us hope the President and the different branches of the govern- ment will try to cooperate now for the good of the country as a whole. Some people say the President is incompetent, his judg- ment is poor, the job is too bi g for him. Well, we have had many incompetent people holding down jobs—so what. No one group of people can remove them all at once, or ever. It 's our duty to select good candidates before they take office, and by good, 1 mean the right person for the right job. : As I See It By Clara J. Hallett uy riorcncQ neison Bats have been speculated about for ages, for they are one of the few animals that have retained their original form and peculiari- ties since the days of earliest an- tiquity. Superstition has often clothed them with all sorts of strange powers which they do not —and never could have possessed. There are at least 450 species of these queer, wing-shaped mam- mals—natives of such far-away countries SB Java, Ceylon, Burma, certain portions ot India and other lands where tropical climates pre- vail—sleeping throughout tbe long daylight hours, and waking at night to fly about so noiselessly that few can detect their presence, except the most observant, Bats—like certain kinds of birds —are not fond of cold weather, and those that winter "up north" pre- pare their domiciles in caverns, vaults, or the ruins ot unoccupied buildings where they cling with their feet, head downward under the rafters , till the warmth ot spring ends their hibernating and calls them to the great outdoors, there to blend once again with tbe twilight shadows. There are many Interesting kinds of bats, from the gaily color- ed ones which inhabit the warmer climates, and resemble large but- terflies , to the fruit-eating kinds which are native to the south Orient and Australia, Among the larger species are the Catllna Fly- ing Fish, found in southern Cali- fornia. These latter measure 18 in. long and are the strongest filers of the group—as well as perhaps the most widely known. BatB, as a rule, produce but one or two little bat-lets, and the mother Is greatly devoted to her little ones, suckling them till they pre ready to fly. According to J. Frank Browning, those animals are fur from hand- ' some creatures, and, yet, as we leum to know them batter we find that many of them are beneficial to mankind . Take a bat in your hand. You'll Immediately teel the animal tremble all over. Why? Sim- ply because to those delicate wlnga , perhaps the most sensitive sense- organs in the world, the touch oi your palm is like a rasping file. Thosp tender wings and his big vibrating ears are the mystery and wonder of the bat. They en- able him to fly in the darkest night , through the thickest forest, when his eyes are of little use to him, antt pursue his insect prey without striking a single trunk or branch. Radar equipped , these wings that "see" In the dark , are made up of a close network of fine nerves that are able to detect in advance any obstacle that is in the line of travel. Experimenters have blindfolded bats and released them in a large room where many ropes were sus- pended from the celling. Result— the bats flitted around with thei r customary bullet-speed, without touching a single rope! In certain parts ot the South huge bat shelters and roosts are maintained for the good they do in destroying enormous quantities of flying moths and other harmful Insects. And so we see that gentleness should be shown this creature who, in spite of his strange appearance and harsh voice, Is a real triend to man. , WHAT ABOUT BATS Recruiter to Seek Cape Cod Men for Navy A Navy recruiter will be at Fal- mouth and Hyannis , Thursday, Dec. 5th and Dec. 12th, says J. A. Caron, Chief Boatswain's Mate in charge of the New Bedford recruiting sta- tion, today.

But since his time how many have Failed utterly in praise Of mothers-in-law and sniffed at them In divers devious ways ; And yet. mother-in-law is quite Essential to the plan The Great Creator figured out in furtherance of man.

Then why should he despise The mother who made possible His having such a prize f In happy homes where children bud And blossom like the flowers That comes to earth when springtime brings The sunshine and the showers, Would there be grandmas, sweet and kind, The children 's dear delight, If there were never anywhere A mother-in-law in sight?
