PAGE TEN That Body of Yours SB By JAMES W. BARTON. M. D. Curing Stomach Ulcer Without Operation F' IS only natural that everybody dislikes the Idea of an operation— hospital, anesthetic, operation, after care—and would sooner put up with a certain amount of distress and pain than undergo It One of the types of cases where op eration is put off as long as possible is In ulcer of the stomach. The use of small soft meals, and the use, fol lowing these, of regular doses of al kalis, if persisted In long enough, often does away with the need of an operation. However there are cases that despite this treatment do not do well, as the nicer Is too deeply seated In the lin ing of the stomach or In the first part of the small intestine, together with an overabundant supply of the acid digestive juice of the stomach. In some of these cases another method of treating the ulcer Is undertaken be fore resorting to operation, as the last hope. Some years ago a method was tried out in the Toronto General hospital; this was by means of a tube which was Inserted through patients' nostril or mouth, down past the stomach and first part of the small Intestine (the duodenum) to the jejunum or second part of the small Intestine. Through this tube soft food was poured at fre quent Intervals. Thus the patient was able to get his usual nourishment with out the stomach or duodenum having to handle It at all. As you know it Is the movements of the stomach and the pouring out of the stomach's acid juice which pre vents the ulcer from healing. With no food going into the stomach the stomach walls, nerves, digestive proc esses all get a complete rest and this complete rest enables the ulcer to heat The tube can be fastened in posi tion to the nose or mouth by adhesive tape or other methods, and Is left In position usually for three weeks al though In mild cases one week may be sufficient Remember, this treatment is not given In simple chronic cases of ulcer, tat only In the more severe or com plicated cases such as those mentioned above. This method is of use also in severe inflammation of the stomach where real rest is an absolute necessity for the stomach. It must be admitted, however, that there are some cases where only op eration will bring results. • • • Keeping in Step Mentally YOU have likely heard the story of the fond mother who on seeing a company of school boys marching by, said that all the children were out of step except her boy. No one blames the mother tot lov ing her boy, thinking be is about right even if he Is “different" from ethers, but it Is this very mother care that Interferes with the boy’s chances of remaining normal like other young sters. When the boy gets Into trouble with other youngsters the mother consid ers the other youngsters to be entire ly to blame; if the trouble occurs at school then the school or the teacher must be to blame. Some one has spoken of this boy as the “overprotected" boy, and quite rightly states that the parent is at fault and in her anxiety to make things “smooth” for him actually takes away his strength of character. He learns to depend upon the parent for everything including getting him out of trouble when he Is in the wrong. Unfortunately If this overprotection continues the boy or girl grows Into naanhood or womanhood and Is always looking for support, for a defender, in stead of supporting or defending him self. In other words the youngster Is “out •t step" with life, and only by getting “in step” can the proper mental de velopment occur. Tou can thus see that If any prog ress Is to be made with the over protected child. It means that the mother or father should be taught that the youngster must learn to stand on his own feet, make his own progress, take bis own defeats, fight his own battles, and suffer his just punlsh aaent No one wants any more war; not a single nation in the world, and not •ven the real soldier himself wants it However there is one thing about Or military drill, the marching or oth er parts belonging to, and that is that the word of command must be obeyed correctly. And the boy who Is "out of step” Is at once noticeable to the In structor. For the time being each hoy whether rich or poor, brainy or dull, is a part of a machine, and must Mt spoil the perfect working of the machine by being "out of step." This ts the training of drill and of athletic games. Wsisam’irr the only difference be tween you and the mental patient is thst he IS “out of step" with the rest at mankind, and you are not. . <CMS«*»A>—WXU Swvioa.

Three’Better Things * In Alberta’s huge Jasper park, Fred Brewster, a Rocky mountain guide, watches eagles and ospreys, also called “fish hawks,” sitting on the high limbs of a tree, eagles at the top, ospreys below, and still lower down plain crowfi, all watching the lake. An osprey drops, brings up a fish. Two eagles pursue, the frightened osprey drops the fish. The eagles try to catch It, usually fall. The crows, flying close to the surface, in a body, never fall, always get the falling fish and enjoy it. There you have our civilization upside down. With us, those nearest the ground get the least, those next above get a little more, and those at the very top get practically every thing. J. Pierpont Morgan of Broad and Wall streets ordered his big yacht. Corsair, to bls front door on East Island, and will cross for a short vaca tion in England. Once such a trip might have aroused envy, but no more. The traveling salesman, the “lady buyer" for a de partment store, almost anybody, may cross on a bigger, faster, finer boat than the Corsair at a very reasonable price. The wise socialism is that which gives to the big crowd bigger and better ships, parks and hotels than any Individual, no matter how rich, could afford for himself. Also, among Americans of the right kind, a man and woman take pride in improving their own' little house or boat, wasting no time in foolish envy of others. There is no real happiness of possession, except In what we earn. What Is the matter with this coun try, swindled by assorted gangs of politicians, robbed by Innumerable gangs of grafters, racketeers, high waymen, degraded by Indecent moving pictures and other entertainments, the publie peace and faint signs of re turning prosperity imperiled by strike troubles and violence? Has the United States become a sort of "western China,” unable to take care of itself? In what direc tion Is it headed? . President Roosevelt, warmly wel comed by marching, singing and prais ing citizens in Porto Rico and the Vir gin Islands, hoped to make the New Deal reach every .corner of the United States, saying: “I believe in better homes, better living conditions, and a better chance to earn a living.” Everybody believes in those things, and since the beginning of history, and long before, has been trying to get them. The questions is how to provide those things permanently. The widespread attack on disgrace fully Immoral moving pictures has compelled those that trade in inde cency to take their minds off the box office for a moment and consider a serious danger. The crusade against indecency, led by the Catholic church and directed by the Archbishop of Baltimore, who began the crusade, has been joined by Jewish synagogues and rabbis, and now many Protestant bodies have decided to take part. Rudolph Hess, representing Hitler, and speaking as “a soldier of the front,” suddenly changed. In his broad cast, from German to French, and ap pealed to the old enemy across the Une not to make necessary the build ing of new trenches, urging that trench life Is not pleasant Herr Hess might have added to his speech: “While our German troops never reached Paris in aU the four years of the last war, remember that German airplanes would reach there in the first two or three hours of the next war and a* few hours later not one of the great monuments of Paris would be left standing; not Notre Dame, the Madeleine or the beautiful Salnte Chapelle." Bombarding airmen will not spare monuments dearest to the enemy. Everything would run smoothly if all the United States representatives and senators felt as G. Bryant of West Virginia feels. A candidate for con gress, his platform reads: “I am behind President Roosevelt an the way. PI) jump off the top of the Washington monument if he wants me to.” A solid house and senate like that would make Fascism unnecessary. Congratulate Mussolini. “Dressed in boots, old trousers and a blue sweat er,” he helped Italian workers to har vest crops on the Pontine marshes, changed by him from fever-breeding swamps Into fertile, dry ground. Mussolini and modern machinery did It, where former rulers had tried and failed. “Sleeping car airplanes” are now a resllty. They have been foretold in this column and elsewhere for yeara Foolish plans are proposed and fool ish things are done, but real progress continues. * Kias rvatatss Sradlosta, Ina WNU Ssrvlev.

Smiles jgj BETTER ORDER A HAM Mrs. Brown always allowed her maid to have her young man In the kitehen In the evening. But knowing the girl was entertaining a new swain, she stole downstairs and lis tened at the kitchen door. Next morning she said to her maid: “Mary, your new young man seems very quiet I never hear any sound of talking while he is here.” “No, mum,” replied the girl, “he's that shy he’s done nothing but eat up to now.”—The Northern Mall. The New Scheel “You have not been as eloquent as of yore." “No,” answered Senator Sorghum. “In days like these a man has to study statistics.” “Do you enjoy them?” “No. In fact. It seems downright hard for old-timers like me to quit reveling In figures of speech and get back to plain old mental arithmetic."
