This paper argues that discourses of love in Ghanaian market literature for youth offer a view into complex negotiations of agency and empowerment. Drawing on Deborah Durham's notion of youth as "social `shifters'" and Francis Nyamnjoh's conception of the "interconnectedness" of agency, I take Ghanaian market literature as one specific case of how African literature for youth foregrounds questions of continuity and change as African societies enter into increasingly complex global relations. In this literature for youth, received notions of love, often constructed out of impressions from American pop and hip hop music, carry new notions of agency that compete with existing "domesticated" forms. Authors like Ike Tandoh and Evelyn Tay employ discourses of love to offer youth alternative avenues for empowerment in a context of socio-economic disenfranchizement. In a creative process of "straddling", this writing both reveals and reproduces the contradictions that obtain in youth configurations of agency.

ENEMAS

_Position for an Enema._ Lie on left side, knees brought up against
abdomen, with the left arm well underneath. This will relax the
abdominal muscles and allow the water to pass upward more freely. The
water should be allowed to flow until it is felt low on the right
side.

_The one, two, three enema_ is an injection that is used for the
relief of gas in the bowel. It consists of the following: One part
epsom salts, two parts glycerine, and three parts soap suds. It is
introduced by the aid of the colon tube and retained as long as is
possible.

Glycerine and soapy water, equal parts, may be introduced into the
bowel for temporary relief of a persistent constipation.

In instances when feeding by the mouth is impossible, _nutrient
enemas_ should be given every three or four hours during the day. The
absorption does not take place in the large bowel as readily as in the
small intestines, so only a small amount of a more highly concentrated
solution is given at one time. A child one year of age will be given
one teaspoon, from one to four years of age a teaspoon to a tablespoon
is allowed, and up to twelve years from one to eight tablespoons are
given in the nutrient enema. Peptonized meat preparations may be
employed in greater concentration than directed by the use of the
mouth. Peptonized milk containing an egg is often used. The pepsin is
added to the mixture only when warm, and is injected at once.


EMETICS

1. A glass of warm water containing as much common table
salt as can be dissolved.
2. A teaspoon of mustard in a large glass of warm water.
3. A teaspoon of syrup of ipecac, repeated in fifteen minutes
if necessary.

Any one of these emetics is useful in instances where it is desirable
to empty the stomach at once.


A CALORIE

A calorie is the heat unit used in the estimation of the fuel value of
various foods. For instance, an ordinary slice of homemade bread
contains 100 calories. An ordinary fig contains almost 100 calories. A
large orange or an apple or a glass of grape juice contains about 100
calories. There are 100 calories in three teaspoons of sugar or honey.

A complete food list with the estimation of calorie value of foods is
found in _The Science of Living_, page 370, while on page 99 of the
same book is a very helpful table showing the amounts of various foods
required to equal 100 calories. The reader will find this exceedingly
practical in estimating food values for the household.


ACIDIFYING AND ALKALINIZING FOODS

Since we find that in all acute diseases the acidity of the urine is
greatly increased and in time of health it is less acid, we submit two
lists of foods which tend to acidify the urine or to alkalinize the
urine.


FOODS WHICH TEND TO ACIDIFY.

1. _Animal Foods_: All forms of flesh foods, fish, fowl, etc.,
including all kinds of meat broths, soups, beef tea, bouillon, etc.

2. _Eggs._ 3. _Breadstuffs_: All kinds of breads, whether made of
wheat, rye or corn, crackers, toasts, griddle cakes, etc. 4.
_Pastries._ All sorts of pies and cakes--except fruit pies, and other
desserts containing milk or sour fruits.

5. _Cereals_: Rice, oatmeal, and breakfast foods of all kinds,
including the flaked and toasted breakfast foods.

6. _Peanuts_, plums, prunes, and cranberries. Plums and cranberries
fall in this column because of their benzoic acid, which the body
cannot fully oxidize.


FOODS WHICH TEND TO ALKALINIZE.

1. _Dairy Products_: Milk, ice cream, cottage cheese, cheese,
buttermilk, etc.

2. _Potatoes_ and _bananas_.

3. _Soups_: All forms of vegetable and fruit soups and broths.

4. _Fruit Juices_: All the fresh fruit juices except plums.

5. _Fresh Fruits_: All fresh fruits, sweet and sour, except plums and
cranberries.

6. _Vegetables_: All kinds, especially beets, carrots, celery,
lettuce, and muskmelon.

7. _Dried Fruits_: Figs, raisins, dates, currants--all except prunes.

8. _The Legumes_: Beans, peas, and lentils.

9. _The Nuts_: All the nuts belong in this column, including almonds
and chestnuts.


CEREAL WATERS, ETC.

It is often necessary to give the infant or the young child cereal
water to replace food in occasions of summer diarrhoea, etc.

1. _Barley Water._

One tablespoon of barley flour in one pint of water. Boil for one-half
hour, strain, and add sufficient boiled water to make one pint.

2. _Flaxseed Tea._

One tablespoon of flaxseed, one pint of boiling water; let stand and
keep warm for one hour; strain. Add juice of lemon.

3. _Oatmeal Jelly._

Four tablespoons of oatmeal, one pint of water; boil for three hours
in double boiler, adding water from time to time; strain.

4. _Toast Water._

One, two, or three slices of bread toasted dark brown, but not burned.
Put in one quart of boiling water, cover, and strain when cold.

5. _Arrowroot Water._

Wet two teaspoons of arrowroot with a little cold water, and rub until
smooth; then stir into one pint of boiling water and boil for five
minutes, stirring all the while.

6. _Oatmeal Water._

One tablespoon of oatmeal to one pint of boiling water, cover and let
simmer for one hour. Add water from time to time as it evaporates;
strain.

7. _Rice Water._

One tablespoon of (washed) rice to one pint of water. Boil three hours
adding water from time to time.


FRUIT JUICES

Fruit juices are exceedingly beneficial all through life; particularly
is this true during early childhood when the little ones are so likely
to be constipated. Any of the fruit juices are good, particularly the
juices from oranges, raisins, prunes, apples, pears, and cranberries.
All these juices are better cooked than raw with the exception of
orange juice. All children should have some fruit juice every day. For
the very young baby the juices are strained through a wire strainer
and a clean cheesecloth so as to remove every particle of solid
matter, and there should be added an equal amount of cold, boiled
water for the infant under ten months.


LEMONADE AND EGGNOGS

Lemonade, along with orangeade, grapefruitade and limeade should be
used for children above a year. They should be well diluted and not
too sweet.

Eggnogs are splendid for children who need to be helped along with
their diet. They may be given at the close of the meal, never between
meals--unless so prescribed by a physician. The stomach should have
ample time to complete the work of digesting one meal before another
partial meal is allowed to enter it. Eggnogs consist of a well-beaten
egg into which there is placed a small amount of sugar, flavoring with
either nutmeg, vanilla, or cinnamon, and the glass filled up with rich
milk.


MILKSHAKE

Milkshake is a delightful drink. The white of an egg with one or two
teaspoons of sugar, two tablespoons of chopped ice, flavoring, and
one ounce of cream are briskly shaken in a milk-shaker for two
minutes. Cold milk is added to fill the glass.


MEAT AND MEAT JUICES

Beef extracts are regarded by the medical profession as purely
stimulants. Beef juice is practically without food value. In the
preparation of beef juice the extractives and juices leave the fibre.
The food is in the fibre of the meat. The extractives are purely of a
stimulating order. We do not advocate the giving of beef tea and beef
juices to children; as a rule, we think that cereal, gruels, strained
soups, and milk are preferable.

The only reason for cooking meats is to destroy the parasites such as
tapeworm, trichina, etc., which are so often found in the meat. The
cooking of meat decreases its digestibility, as raw meat is more
easily digested than cooked meat, but we feel it is necessary to
advocate the cooking of meat in order to kill the parasites.


CODDLED EGG

A fresh egg, shell on, is placed in boiling water which is immediately
after removed from the fire. The egg then cooks slowly in the water,
which gradually cools, for seven or eight minutes, when the white
should be about the consistency of jelly. For a delicate digestion the
white only should be given, with salt; it can be easily separated from
the yolk. The above is the best form of egg for the young child. Later
on the eggs may be soft boiled or poached, or even soft scrambled.


SOUPS

Two varieties of soups are given children. In the early months of
childhood, from six years to eighteen months, the soups are usually
strained, but after eighteen months, soups may be thickened with flour
and rich milk making a cream soup of it. Most vegetables make good
soups. The pulp from such vegetables as asparagus, carrots, beans,
peas, tomatoes, and potatoes are made into cream soups by the addition
of a little flour, rich milk, butter, and a dash of salt.


BREADS

New breads should never be given to a child. Only bread twenty-four
hours old should ever be given to a child under six years; it should
be cut into slices and allowed to dry out; and even then is better if
slightly toasted. We publish a recipe for bran bread and bran biscuits
which are exceedingly good for children and adults.

_Recipe for Bran Bread._ Two eggs, beaten separately; three-fourths of
a cup of molasses, with one round teaspoon soda; one cup of sour
cream; one cup of sultana seedless raisins; one cup of wheat flour,
with one heaping teaspoon baking powder; two cups of bran; stir well
and bake one hour.

_Bran Biscuits._ Mix one pint of bran, one-half pint of flour, and one
level teaspoon of baking soda. Mix one-half pint of milk and four
tablespoons of molasses. Add this to the bran mixture and bake in gem
pans.
