Do you keep up with the latest things? Have you chick? Never mind the H-line, the down- swept silhouette, the charcoal shades, the white fox. The point is, do you have diverticulosis? This is Positively and absolutely the last word in disease. Around this part of the country, everybody with a doctor who is anobody is getting it. At the moment, I’m not all sure exactly what this disease is. Webs- ter’s definies a diverticulum (div- erticular — plural) as “a blind tubular sac or process, branching off from a canal or cavity.” But 1 do know that all my fashionable friends who used to discuss their incipient ulcers have dropped them in favor of this latest fad in favor of this latest fad in medical diag- nosis. Apparently, one of the advantag- es of diverticulosis is that it and its symptoms cannot be seen. Sec- ondly, its treatment requires a diet which is an amusing, dramatic change from those tiresome old low-calorie, high - protein regimes which are so commonplace now that there’s really not much more to be said, conversation - wise, a- bout them. I haven’t acquired diverticulosis yet, but I understand that obtain- ing a diagnosis of it is good for plenty of conversation. It involves the taking of many types of dye pills and submitting to X-ray ser- ies. All this is expensive. After the doctor informs you that you are a diverticulosis suffer- er, the diet comes. The diet is what is called bland. One of my friends | informs me brightly that she has to have every mouthful of meat | gound three times befor she can| eat it. Yesterday a friend telephoned | merrily to report that she’d ac- quired a diverticulosis diagnosis, and added enthusiastically that there wasn’t one thing she could eat now that was also on her old reducing diet. “And,” she added, “I ean’t eat} nuts, and I just have to eat spa- ghetti. Furthermore, I am absolu- tly forbidden parsley, which is a relief because I’ve always hated it anyway.” Later in the day, I reported her condition to a mutal friend, who sniffed, looked down his nose and informed me loftily: ‘She's un- doubtedly only got one. Three of my diverticula are affected. I drink milk, just milk, and pureed peas.” I suppose the diverticulosis fad will pass in time, just as the other disease crazes have. Meanwhile, if your own physician doedn’t known about its current popularity, you might tip him off that he’s missing a very good thing— AP Newsfa- tures.

If his feet hurt, he will take them off whenever he can or make | excuses to get out of doing some-| thing that requires standing or walking.” Teachers have told her that when they spot a child lagging in play or preferring to stay at his desk during recess, one of the first things they check is his shoes. How- | ever, if a mother finds her small} baby pulling .off his shoes and | socks, it doesn’t necessarily mean} that his feet hurt. Most likely he is | simply exploring, she says. Close attention should be given} to the first shoes a child wears be- | cause a poor shoe can mold and shape a young child’s foot out of its correct growth. Miss Arrington says it should have a soft leather top, a leather sole about one-eighth of an inch thick and no heel. The leather sole ought to be tough enough for protection but flexible enough to bend easily so the child can make natural use of his foot. She advises mothers not to keep shoes on their children all the time. The child from one to six will need a pair of shoes every four to eight weeks, Miss Arrington says. She says a child has outgrown his shoes when his toes touch the end of the shoe, when the toe cap presses down on the toes, or when | the widest part of the foot, just back of the toes, spreads the top of the shoe over the sole. Even though outgrown shoes are in good condition, don’t hand them down to the next child, Miss Ar- rington cautions—“They have been molded to the foot and walk of the child who wore them. The next child will have to conform to the shape of that shoe which may af- fect his natural walk.” One simple test which she offers | to find out if the child has outgrown | his shoes is this: Have the child} stand on paper and mark the heel | and big toe. Then cut out the paper and slip it into the shoe. If the/| paper buckles, it’s time for a new) pair of shoes. To forestall some of the trouble | that adults have with their feet, the Children’s Bureau pamphlet of- fers these suggestions for buying | children’s shoes: : Take the child with you. A size number won’t do. Measure both feet. There is a little difference in clothesline and clothespins to hang them up will be enjoyed. a Listen to your child when she is busy with her dolls. A youngster plays out of her own life — she’s the mother and the doll is herself. “Now, Martha,” threatened 3- year-old Sue, “You're a bad, bad girl for spilling that milk. I can’t love girls that spill.” Did you say that? Maybe you didn’t, but that’s what Sue felt you meant. Better watch your step. You certainly don’t want Sue to feel you don’t love her because she spilled milk. Sue needs to be loved whether she spills or not, and needs to know she’s loved — AP Nwsfeatures.
