Winning The

War

Sugar

PERHAPS the greatest

blow to war trodden Europe is that the British blockade has cut her off from plentiful supplies of sugar. And you can no more win a war without sugar than you can fly without a 'plane.

Proved By Tests INDER the auspices of the German War Department it was proved conclusively that nothing repairs exhaust- od energy so well as sugar.

It was found that the sub- jects of the experiments were capable of much longer and harder training when sugar was administered to them than the men who were com- pletely deprived of their sugar ration.

For example, soldiers who had great difficulty in getting their breath after prolonged fatigue of hauling heavy can- non uphill and into position, were quickly put right and freed from every trace of giddiness and faintness when sugar was administered, or when prescribed quantities of sugar were included in their daily food.

It was also discovered that battalions of men used to a re- gular ration of sugar had no need to take aperients, or con- siderably to lessen the need for them, even when the roughest fare of the army waS meted out.

Effect In Two Hours Sugar and muscular power go hand in hand. Most experts now agree that there is no better way of warding off fatigue than sugar.

Consumed in fairly inrgo' quan- tities it acts rapidly, but is full effect takes place sonte two hours afterwards.

Sclentine experiments carried out with the aid of the ergograph instrument for registering accurately variations of muscular power-show that sugar gives an increase of physleal energy rang- ing from 60 to 75 per cent.

Anyone used to army life knows that after a fatiguing day in the fted or in training there is a natural craving by tired soldiers for Jam, very sweet tea or coffee, and other commodities rich in their sugar content,

In the Great War it was noticed

that during mountainous cam- paigns. the men who withstood the strain longest and who accomplish-. ed themselves the most were those who took sumar to falely large and frequent doses.

VIEWING * the British Empire

and the United · · States to- getlier, one celebrated physician asserted that the increased height and weight of men of these two countries in the last half-century are chiefly due to the increased consumption of sugarita

He cited in confirmation of his opinion the splendid health of the date-caling Arabs and the sugar-

eating negroes

It is not unlikely that the almost universal, and devoutly to be thankful for, lack of craving for alcohol in women and children is duo largely to tho sweet tooth possessed by them and their indul- gence in fruit, Ice-cream, and sweetmeats generally.

To some extent the same condl- tions apply to men.

Not only have French experts found that sugar is invaluable in the Forces for medicinal treatments because it preserves the cells, but it furnishes a nutriment or nutrient element not possessed by many more costly treatments,

While it is not claimed sugar can be used on every possible occasion, and while other saccharine sub- stances sometimes had to be made use of, it was proved that pure cane sugar or best beet sugar was a better preventive of putrefaction and contamination by microbes

HE LOST £500,000 OF WINE

ONE of the most famous wine merchants, in France walked out of Bordeaux on June 17, a week before his country collapsed, and left behind £500,000 worth of the choicest French wines.

That is why, in about a year's time, there will be no good claret or white wines.. Even the cheaper wines will disappear,

And this progress has taken place during the last 25 years. It was during the last world war that oxygen came medic- ally into its own-when Professor Haldane used it with success for gassed lung

cases.

It is an established fact that oxygen is necessary for all the vital functions of our system. The life-giving gas renches our body cells through the lungs and via the blood- stream. But in conditions where the circulation is feeblo (as in shock), or where the aerating capacity of the lungs ia diminished (as in pnou- monía, or collapse of a lung lobe) the amount of available oxygen for the body cells is obviously bound to drop.

In war-time oxygen therapy holds a unique position. It not only prevents shock, but helps to overcome it with speed. Coupled with blood transfusion, it may save life in severe hemorrhage. In ab- dominal surgery, the inhala- tion of 100 per cent, oxygen enables the surgeon to dis cover what extent of injured gut is alive and. may safely be

This fact helps us to under- stand how oxygen therapy today can be so beneficial in such widely varying diseases. If given early in pneumonia the patient will be comfort- ably tided over the period that·ated must clapse before the specifle remedies of sulphanilamide and typed serum can produce their effect.

A great deal of refinement has come about in the mode of administering oxygen since the last war. Today we have oxygen rooms, oxygen tents, "spectacle frames" carrying fine metal air-tubes that end in cycle valve tubing, one or two Inches of which enter each nostril. We have A transparent mask covering part of the face. And we have the B.L.B. mask. ·

NAVY

This mask, designed by the Americans, Drs Boothby and and Lovelace, and Mr Bul- bulian, simplifies oxygen therapy and reduces its cost considerably. It is a simple rubber apparatus fitting either over the nose (in which case talking and eating can be indulged in), or covering both nose and mouth. It is at- tached to a rubber re-breath- ing bag that saves oxygen and allows both patient and nurse to notice at a glance if all is not working well. An attached meter registers the flow of oxygen (varying from about 3 to 6 litres per minute according to the requirements of the case). Three air-vents permit varying concentrations of inspired oxygen-when all -three remain closed the patient receives 90 per cent, of pure oxygen.

It has been calculated that the cost of keeping a patient on oxygen therapy by means of this mask works out in the neighbourhood of 12s. per day
