Published afternoons except Sunday. Eitablished June IS, 1850 Your Health Is Up To You XAITH more and more nieclicdl men be- called into the armed forces, state public health officers this week asked the residents of Utah to ease Ihe pressure on the "too few medics left in civilian practice by making heahh a matter of each individual's personal comern. Dr. J. L. Jones, state dilator of industrial hygiene, destubed as "pitifully inadequate the number of physicians, in hosdentists, public health wotkers-anciwlian available for still facilities pital service. And tins number is being decreased almost daiiyr ' The answer to the problem of insufficient and overworked medical and public healthpersonnel and facilities is for all residents to keep well as far as possible and thus avoid the necessity of calling for medical attention. This must be an individual responsibility. This may sound elementary and trite, but there is ma other Immediate answer.---It takes time to train, medicos, years and years of time. It Is difficult to generalise on how ta keep healthy, because the treatment often varies with the case,-hu- t there are a few simple common-sensrules that are applicable to most everybody. In the first place, the individual or the heads of of the family should make an effort to be-- rome informed on the basic principles which are essential to the promotion and maintenance of good health. The next step is to apply these principles. It is almost that easy. S1ateand local health departments, the lea'ding insurance companies, the highschools and colleges all have good health literature which contains much worthwhile information. es In most itj furnished free upon request.. Though there is no simple fonmi for keeping wejl, the medical men seem agreed that, with the average individual, good health is a matter of good balance in physical and mental functions and habits. If we attempt to ledtice It to a mathematical equation, we get ' something like this: iont Proper food, plus suffii sleep and rest, plus proper lelaxation. plus cleanliness, plus pioper exercise, plus-fre- sh air, plus a medical examination once a .tear, minus needless-worrminus over Indulgence ae almost certain to equal good health.'cjtrite an Involved formula, but itian lie matte mostly a matter of habit. Malnutrition Is one of the principal offenders, partly because most of its victims are ailing from deficiencies ratlipr than from easily noticed defect diseases. A great proportion of the population een in this enlightened land of plenty is un-- . dernourished. All work and no play, still make Jack a dull boy, war or no war, and all play and no woik and yith very little sleep are even worse. Cleanliness of body and oral cavity is important to good health. And over indulgence in and exercise and the regular use of stimulants, liquor and tobacco are very harmful to health. GY GLENN Fresh air is g important, particulailv when sleeping. So open the bed, room windows even if you have to stack on another blanket. Exercise is important for those persons not doing manual or physical work. But this should be taken in reasonable quantities, with the amount and kind varying with the age; fitness and condition-- of the patient. One of the most vital steps to sustained goocj health is a thoiough physical examination at least- once p year. This, of pourse, requires the services of a physician, hut in the long run it' will save much tune, effoit and expense on the part of both doctor ami patient. a. perThrough such .periodic-checkupson can make sut;e that his tody is functioning normally and the physician cjui detect and treat minor ailments which would become worse if left unattended. e Just plain ordinary wmry has one of Amei icas most sci unis maladies. It undermines health and destroys liappines. One of the most dangerous forms of this disease is worn over a person's physical condition, a fear that there is something seriously wrong. The dangers of this type of worrv ailment aie minimized by the regular physical examinations already suggested.
