Dear Dr. Thosteson: I know a
young mother who is giving raw
milk to her baby. Is bringing
milk to the boiling point enough
to kill bacteria?
Please describe undulant
fever and tell me if there is now
a definite cure for it. Other
children and adults in this
family are drinking raw milk. I
am so concerned. — G. E. B.
Raw milk is not, in and of
itself, dangerous — only raw
milk from cows (or goats)
infected with the brucellosis
germ Cows from registered
herds are checked carefully and
rather frequently for the
disease, so if the milk is from a
registered animal you can cool
your concern
Undulant fever is associated
with the brucella organism It is
usually acquired by drinking
the infected milk or by persons
handling infected meat (beef,
pork or lamb) The infection
route here is through breaks in
the skin
It is not a pleasant disease,
and the little to be saved
monetarily from drinking un-
pasteurized milk is not worth
the risk.
The disease is not easy to
detect, but a positive diagnosis
can be made with appropriate
blood tests. Symptoms include
fatigue, headache, and rises in
temperature that abate in the
early morning, then recur in the
afternoons.
Treatment is with antibotics
(tetracycline) which are effec-
tive in most cases
If the folks you refer to are
using milk from an unregis-
tered family "bossie," then
they should take the precaution
of doing their own pasteurizing,
a simple matter of heating the
milk to 140 degrees fahrenheit
for 30 minutes, then storing it in
a cool, sanitary place before
using.
Dear Dr. Thosteson: My wife,
now 66, has had yawning spells
for several years, but for the
past two years they have been
more severe. She has a
shortness of breath.
Her doctor can find no cause
for it. Please comment. I am
sending 25 cents to you in care
of this newspaper, enclosing a
long, stamped and self-ad-
dressed envelope, for your
booklet on diverticulosis. — L.
F. M
Yawning is one of the pleas-
ant little respirations no one has
been able to explain satisfac-
torily yet. There has been
speculation that it signifies a
deficiency of oxygen in the
body, but this doesn't explain
why one person will yawn
because someone nearby has
done so, or why it is associated
with being weary or bored
Anemia, or possibly low thyroid
function, might be investigated.
Beyond this, I can only
suggest, frankly without very
much confidence, that your
wife's yawning and her short-
ness of breath may be related to
a possible lung problem
Dear Dr. Thosteson: Itching
is my problem You’ve heard of
the three brothers? One was al-
ways itching to go west, one to
go east, and the other was just
always itching. I’m the last one.
I am 73, married 50 years to
the same woman, completely
happy. I’m lean and healthy,
take no medication of any kind,
don’t use tobacco or alcohol.
But at most anytime of the day
or night some area of my
carcass comes up with an itch.
Can you think of any valid
cause for this condition? — C S
I can think of a few
As you get older the oil”
glands of the skin are less
productive and the result is a
dryer skin Too frequent baths
can remove the skin's seba-
ceous substances and result in
itching. Certain woolen or syn-
thetic underwear can cause an
irritation
What to do? Try a bath oil in
your tub, or daub it on after a
shower Congratulations on
your apparent good health and
happy outlook.
Are you bothered with ringing
in the ears? If so, write to Dr

Moon Maid Says April
Will Be Windy, Ugly
By KAY McCARTHY
OKLAHOMA CITY (UPI)
Two almanacs say the sun will
shine brightly on Oklahoma for
most of the second half of the
month Weather forecasters
basing their predictions on the
latest scientific data at their
disposal, say much the same
thing Wanna McNeill predicts
it's going to snow
Mrs. McNeill, who says her
forecasts are about 85 per cent
correct, uses the moon's phases
and nodes, or points where the
moon's orbit intersects the
planes of the planets orbits, to
make long-range weather pre-
dictions. She uses several
almanacs to interpret the
moon's phases
"I don't see much good about
April," Mrs. McNeill, 73, who
calls herself the Moon Maid,
said Monday "It’s just going to
be a windy, ugly month
"On the 11th of April the new
moon enters at 11:39 a.m. in
conjunction with Saturn, giving
us high winds, cold and dry.
she says.
She predicts snow at least as
far south as Oklahoma City
after April 19 when the first
quarter moon appears
“But cheers After the full
pink moon on the 25th at 2:55
p.m. it will be sunny and
bright," she wrote in her April
report
May, however, will be cold
and May Day will be wet, she
said.
Mrs. McNeill has given
regular forecasts on radio and
television shows in the area
since 1966
She calls television forecast-
ers to congratulate them on the
proximity of their forecasts to
hers. Recently she heard a Salt
Lake City forecaster who had
just been surprised with a
sudden snowfall and sent him
her forecast for the area
She also has tips for
gardeners
“From the full moon to the
new, plant crops that bear
below the ground and from the
new moon to the full, plant
crops that bear above the
ground," she said.
She said the moon governs all
weather and "it's bound to
govern the seeds you put in the
ground."
If planted under the wrong
moon, the plants bearing above
the ground will go to leaves or
blossoms and the plants that
bear underground will grow
tops and not produce anything,
she said.
She firmly believes in folk-
lore.
“Our grandfathers had noth-
ing to go on except watching
weather from year to year,"
she said
“It's a lot of fun," she said.
"I have had Boy and Girl
Scouts call about their tramps
and a highway patrolman
called me and wanted to know
what the weather was going to
be like when he was getting
married.”

Look for some temporary in
conveniences in the museum
portion of the Oklahoma
Historical Society while some
important improvements are
underway
Two major projects have
started
A c ontract has been let for the
complete rewiring of the
Historical Building replacing
wiring which, in some cases, is as
old as the building itself (45
years) The wiring will take 150
calendar days, and when com-
pleted, the building will have
electric capacity to take care of
the electrical needs for many
years
The East Gallery of the
museum, now containing exhibits
of the Five Civilized Tribes is
now being redesigned as part of
the redesigning of the entire
museum
When redesigned, the exhibits
will give more of the history of
the tribes rather than a mere
presentation of artifacts
During the construction of
these two projects, the cast
gallery of the musem will be
closed and the area will be used
for working and storage space
The Education division of the
Oklahoma Historical Society is
holding special educational
programs for the schools on
Tuesday mornings, designed to
serve up to 120 students
Docents, who assist with this
program, are conducting an
inquiry approach to teaching
about the Plains Indians
This program is currently
being conducted for the
Oklahoma City schools, and is
rated by the schools as its top
program in group interaction and
academic instruction

Amish Use Coal For Heat
BERNE, Ind (UPI) —
Members of the old order
Amish, who live in simplicity
and shun modern comforts,
depend almost entirely on coal
to heat their homes
The coal comes to Berne by
Penn-Central Railroad Under
national rail reorganization
plans, the line through Berne
could be abandoned
There are amore than 100
Amish homes in the area Few
if any use electricity, gas or oil
for fuel, depending on coal and
wood.
“Take the railroad away and
we are up against it," a
concerned Amishman said We
don’t want to compromise with
the world' and go modern by
using electricity and gas, so the
only solution may be to move
away where coal is more
readily available "
The Amish use a lot of coal
for heating their big old rural
homes Their homes mostly are
large, two-story structures and
few are insulated Most have
several coal-burning stoves in
constant use during cold
weather
Amish may not believe in
modern comforts, but they
believe strongly in physical
comfort Regardless how much
coal it takes, they insist on
keeping their large families
warm and cozy in the winter
If things reach the point
where the Amish feel they must
leave the Berne area because
of the coal situation, it would
not be the first full-scale exodus
of members of the sect from
Adams County
During the 1960s more than a
dozen families sold their farms
near Berne and moved to
Missouri where land was
cheaper and where they be-
lieved the danger of their young
folk becoming “too worldly"
was less than in this area near
Fort Wayne, one of Indiana's
largest cities
Word trickles back that, for
the most part. Amish families
who moved away are settled in
their new communities That
includes the group which
migrated to Missouri and
earlier groups which went to
Iowa, Tennessee and Pennsyl-
vania.
But a great many of the
Hoosier Amish appear to have
a sentimental attachment to
Indiana, where they live
peacefully with their Old World
customs amid their more
modern neighbors, shunning the
contemporary life styles but
being tolerant of those who
don't
