Your
nm
Health,
The First Concern.
A few days ago a member of
Congress came to talk with me about
his father, who has ulcer of the
stomach. By an odd coincidence I
sat next a lady at dinner that even-
ing, who confided to me that she was
fussy about her food because she has
a tendency to the same trouble.
It is remarkable that our poor
abused stomachs do not rebel more
frequently than they do. We put in-
to them almost everything except the
kitchen stove.
But, in spite of all mistreatment,
digestion goes on, and relatively few
persons suffer from serious stomach
disease.
This organ is shaped like a pear,
with the small end to the right. The
large part is entered through the gul-
let and, after the food is prepared in
the interior of the stomach, it is ex-
pelled through the “pyloric valve” in-
to the small intestine.
The part of the intestine which im-
mediately joins the stomach is called
the “duodenum.” It is at this narrow
part of the passageway that ulcera-
tion is likely to occur.
Of course, the most strain, the
greatest degree of pressure, will be
observed in this restricted region. It
seems perfectly natural for distur-
bance to occur here if it occurs any-
where. As a matter of fact, almost
all ulcers are located here.
We didn’t know much about the de-
tails of ulcers in this region until the
X-ray was brought into common use.
Now it is possible to learn a lot
about the individual case.
Time and space will not permit any
extensive discussion of the different
types of stomach ulcers. You may
imagine a small ulcer to be similar to
a canker sore in the mouth. The
acute type is small, with clean cut
edges, as if it had been punched out
of the tissues.
The chronic ulcer is larger, irregu-
lar in shape, and in a sense like a
burn of the skin. Whether it is seri-
ous or not depends on how deeply it
reaches down into the wall of the
stomach. In the dangerous case it
continues to burrow until it eats its
way through the wall, resulting in ac-
tual perforation.
The symptoms produced by ulcer
of the stomach depend on the type
and extent of the ulceration. In-
digestion or dyspepsia is the first
sign. In a severe case there may be
sickness at the stomach and vomit-
ing.
If the ulceration is deep enough to
involve the blood vessels there will be
bleeding. The vomited material may
be stained with blood. In some cases
quantities of blood may be expelled.
There is pain and this is a marked
symptom of the disease. The pain may
be burning or gnawing in its nature.
Tt is worse when the stomach is emp-
ty. The victim learns very quickly
that taking food stops the pain.
There is tenderness on pressure.
Effort is made to loosen the clothing
in this region.
Most persons who have ulcer begin
to lose weight. Pretty soon they are
very thin.
Let me say at once that large num-
bers of ulcers heal of their own ac-
cord. It is a slow process taking
months and even years, possibly.
In the acute case rest in bed is im-
perative. This is true whether the
ulcer is in the stomach or in the
duodenum.
While the patient is resting the
physician will seek the cause. Since
infection is believed to be the chief
factor, he will examine teeth, gums,
tonsils, nasal cavities and other parts
of the body to find where pus may be
located.
We will assume that the focus of
infection is located and removed. In
the meantime the patient is kept
quiet and properly fed. Everything
is done to improve the circulation
and build up the health. Good sense
in these matters will bring about a
cure.
A powerful amplifier attached to
headphones running to each desk has
recently been installed in a Philadel-
phia school for the deaf and is bring-
ing joy and improved facilities for
learning to its pupils. A dial on the
desk permits the pupils to adjust the
power according to his individual
needs. Pupils from five to sixteen
years of age who have never uttered
a word are learning to talk by the
aid of the phone, which is opening up
to them a new world.
Recent investigations have shown
that boric acid when applied to the
surface of the body in saturated solu-
tions is absorbed in appreciable qual-
ities. This fact renders it useful in
cases of septic infection because it
reduces the virulence of the bacteria
with which it comes in contact. It is
especially good in such infections as
boils, acene and skin affections with
pus formation.
When a person is suffering from a
throat or mouth wound, or some
trouble that prevents him from eat-
ing, it may be possible, in the future,
to feed him through the skin.
That adequate nourishment can be
obtained in this manner has been
proved alter a year's experiments by
an Austrian doctor. At present arti-
ficial feeding is practiced in two
ways: injections into the blood and
injections into the digestive tract. As
food thus given is not completely ab-
sorbed neither method is satisfactory.
This new discovery is, therefore, of
great importance. The digestive or-
gans can be rested for long periods
while the patient keeps up his
strength and body heat by the nour-
ishment absorbed through the skin.
A mixture of fat, protein, sugar, and
the necessary vitamines in a concen-
trated form will constitute the oint-
ment with which the patient will be
massaged.
SERVICE MEN SHOULD
APPLY FOR HELP.
Warning to ex-service men to file
their claims by April 6 for compensa-
tion for disability incurred as a result
of World War service is sounded by
the local chapter of the American
Red Cross.
The Red Cross has issued the fol-
lowing statement telling war veter-
ans of their rights under the law.
There is a chance of proving ser
vice connection for tuberculosis, men-
tal-nervous disabilities and some oth-
er conditions even though they did
not show up for a long time after the
World War.
Fifty dollars a month for life is
paid to compensable claimants whose
active tuberculosis has reached the
completely arrested stage.
Do you need treatment?
Veterans of any war (women in-
cluded) may have free hospital treat-
ment from the U. S. Veterans’ Bu-
reau. The disability need not be due
to service.
If you are so disabled as to require
constant nursing and you are receiv-
ing compensation you may receive an
additional $50 per month for an at-
tendant.
Any world war veteran who was el-
igible for war term or government in-
surance (even though he did not car-
ry any while in service) may now buy
up to $10,000 of insurance from the
government if he is in good health.
No back premiums are required, as
this is not a reinstatement, but a new
purchase of insurance.
The new time limit for filing Feder-
al bonus claims is January 2, 1930.
STUART CLARIFIES RULING
ON MOTOR ARRESTS.
“Persons arrested under the Motor
Vehicle Code on charges other than
a misdemeanor or felony have the
privilege of giving the officer a writ-
ten promise to appear later at a
hearing and need not go for a hearing
immediately after arrest,’ James Ly-
all Stuart, Secretary of the Penn-
sylvania Department of Highways
has reminded motorists.
“I have been informed that many
officers violate Section 1207 of the
Vehicle Code, failing to give the ar-
rested motorist an opportunity to
make written promise to appear.
This provision was incorporated in
the Code because many persons on
long trips or on hurried business
trips cannot afford to lose several
hours of the day to attend the hear-
ing.
“The written promise to appear is
not a special privilege extended by
the arresting officer but the motor-
ist’s own privilege unless he elects to
ficers who fail in their duty by vio-
lation of this section are liable to
charges of misdemeanor in office with
a heavy penalty.
“A motorist who furnishes his writ-
ten promise to appear must keep
it when he receives the summons,
which will be at least five days after
an arrest. Failure to keep the prom-
ise is punishable by a fine of $7501
ten days imprisonment or both,” the
Highway Secretary concluded.

FIND MANY DRIVERS
WITHOUT LICENSES.
Of 190 arrests made by the State
highway patrol throughout Pennsyl-
vania in one week, 63 were unlicensed
operators of motor vehicles, Wilson
C. Price, superintendent of hte high-
way patrol, announced. This is re-
garded as verification of the belief
that many are attempting to evade
payment of the $1 renewal fee or fear
the examination as learners might
prove too difficult. Penalty for non-
license is $10 while parents or em-
ployers who knowingly permit unli-
censed perscns to operate are subject
to a $25 fine.
New Hampshire Lifts Ban on Other
Cars.
Properly registered out-of-State
automobiles may be operated on New
Hampshire highways without regis-
tration in this State, according to a
bill passed in the New Hampshire
Senate. Supporters of the bill be-
lieved that the free use of highways
will result in favorable publicity for
the State. Revenue from out-of-
State registration last year amounted
to $6,000.

Automobile Deaths in Two Months
“otal 260.
An aggregate of 260 motor vehicle
accident deaths in January and Feb-
ruary, 1929. is anounced by Benja-
min G. Eynon, Registrar of Motor Ve-
hicles of the Pennsylvania Depart-
ment of Highways. The January toll
was 185 deaths; February, 75. Total
number of accidents for the two
months was 6,224. Compilations are
made from compulsory accident re-
ports, required by law of any opera-
tor who is involved in a serious ac-
cident.

ARM NOTES.
__Ton litter methods grow hogs for
market when prices of pork are most
profitable.
—Baked potatoes are more digest-
ible than any other method of serv-
ing this vegetable.
— In late March or early April, af-
ter the ground is thawed out, lime
can be spread to good advantage.
—Only reliable sources of seed po-
tatoes are dependable. Growers should
demand disease-free stock for their
spring planting.
—In grafting apple trees all cut
surfaces must be completely covered
with wax to prevent drying out. Two
kinds of wax can be used: melted and
soft.
— Spray celery plants with a 4-4-50
bordeaux mixture to save them from
bacterial and fungus blights. Apply
with 300 pounds pressure at intervals
of 7 to 10 days.
Use lime-sulphur and nicotine-
sulphate to control bugs and the apple
aphis. Spray when the buds are in
the delayed dormant condition, say
Penn State entomologists.
— Planer shavings give very satis-
factory result when used for litter in
poultry houses. Cut alfalfa, cut clov-
er, or cut straw also give good re-
sults when used as litter.
—A row of corn and a row of leg-
umes is a system that will produce
just as much corn to the acre as if
all rows were planted to corn and you
get a crop of legumes in addition.
— Thoroughly cleaned and disin-
fected brooder houses are necessary
if healthy stock is to be grown. If
a rotation system of ranges is follow-
ed, do all cleaning before the houses
are moved.
An expenditure of 2 or 3 cents
for formaldehyde and about three
minutes of time per acre will prevent
oat loss from smutt attacks. The av-
erage loss in untreated oats is two
bushels per acre.
—_After all danger of late frost is
passed, rake off the coarser material
used in mulching shrubs and flowers
and stir the finer material into the
soil. A top dressing of bone meal will
also prove beneficial.
— Asparagus is the earliest green
vegetable produced. It is a splendid
spring tonic and should be grown in
every home garden. For a small fam-
ily, 50 roots are sufficient; for a larg-
er family plant 100 roots.
—Set 175 turkey eggs at one time
if 125 young turkeys are desired. Us-
ually a 70 per cent. hatch can be ex-
pected. About 25 hens will lay the
required number of eggs for such a
setting in 10 days, and the eggs
should be set at the end of that per-
iod. . .
—When timber is young, a poor
tree cut will allow a good tree to re-
place it. A good tree saved is a piece
of timber for future cutting. Nature
grows both good and poor trees, and
the final crop will be composed of
both kinds unless the poor ones are
removed.
—Roughages are usually the cheap-
est part of the dairy ration, but their
value is very largely dependent on
quality. Early cut, well-cured hay is
vastly better than overripe, poorly
cured hay. The proper grain mixture
is determined by quality as well as
kind of hay and other roughages, say
State College dairy specialists.
—If your home garden is composed
of a heavy stiff soil that has a tend-
ency to become hard and form a crust
after rains, it can be improved by
turning under manure or any other
vegetable matter. Coal ashes also are
good but they add no fertility. Ten
pounds of lime per square rod will
improve the soil physically and aid in
producing better crops.
— From four students in 1887 to
785 this year is a record of the
growth of the Penn State school of
agriculture, figures compiled by Dean
R. L. Watts, show. During the pres-
ent year there have been 559 enroll-
‘ed in 4-year courses, 104 in 2-year
courses, 118 in the winter short
courses, and 4 taking special work.
The peak of enrollment, however, oc-
curred in 1914-15 when there were
767 enrolled in 4-year courses, 250
in 2-year courses, 212 in the winter
courses, and 17 special students, mak-
ing a total of 1,246.
i —The question is often asked as to
| the lasting crop producing usefulness
of limestone. How long will lime-
stone continue to influence crop pro-
duction?
The West Salem field in Illinois af-
fords some data on the subject. A
four-ton per acre application made in
1911, and without subsequent applica-
tions, was still giving a slight re-
sponse in 1927. For the first nine
years of this period this single appli-
cation gave increasing returns; dur-
ing the last seven years the returns
have been diminishing.
V
— Next to lead and paint poisoning,
the most frequent type of mineral
poisoning is caused by common salt.
‘Ordinarily, salt poisoning occurs only
when salt-hungry animals are sud-
denly given access to liberal quaniti-
ties of dry salt, fish brines, or pick-
ling solutions. They gorge them-
selves, develop extreme thirst accom-
panied by severe diarrhea, foaming
at the mouth, and abdominal pains.
Paralysis, particularly of the hind
quarters, may result, followed by
coma and death in from four to ten
hours. As small a quantity as three
pounds may prove fatal to a cow
while a lesser amount may result in
the death of a sheep or a hog.

CARELESS AUTO DRIVERS
MUST TAKE WARNING.
“Many people like to ride the
crown of the road when traffic does
not interfere, but the practice is dan-
gerous to the point of suicide when
approaching a curve or the crest of
a hill,” Wilson C. Price, superintend-
ent of the State highway says. ‘“Bet-
ting that the road is clear when you
can't see it, is a poor gamble.”
“It is a pleasant feeling to have
plenty of space between your wheels
and the edge of the road, but the hab-
it of driving in the middle is a bad
one. Even though you do see a car
over the hill or around the curve in
time to avoid it, you must make a
sharp turn to get over and risk a
skid. Too often you don’t have that
precious second to get over and the
rear of your car musttake a side
swipe,” the partol head said.
“It is unfair, poor manners and
lacking in sportsmasnhip to ride in
the middle at a hillecrest or curve.
Another driver suddenly confronted
with your car and not enough road
receives a shock that too often has
resulted in an accident and we can
hardly be fair in calling such an oc-
currence an accident.
“Accidents do not happen. They
are caused. Approach hillcrests and
curves with caution and keep to your
own side,” Price advised.
Senate Passes Bill on Life Sentence.
The Salus bill, sponsored by the
crime commission, which would per-
mit judges to impose life sentences
on persons convicted four times on
charges claimed as felonies, was pass-
ed by the Senate bv a vote of 42 to
2.
Its passage followed an attempt
made by Senator Davis, Lackawan-
na, to kill the bill by sending it back
to committee. _
He was supported in the move by
Senator Leslie, Allegheny, but the
motion was drowned in a chorus of |
“nos.” Only Davis and Leslie voted
against the bill.
Deer for Sale!
A large number of black-tailed
deer, now on the National Bison
range in Western Montana, are being
offered for sale by the government at
$15 a head, plus the cost of captur-
ing and delivering which probably
would average about $20 per animal.
ARBOR AND BIRD DAYS
SET FOR APRIL 12 AND 26.
Celebration of the coming Spring
Arbor and Bird Days. April 12 and
26, gives promise of being the most
outstanding events in the history of
the movement, Dr. John A. H. Keith,
superintendent of public instruction,
said:
The Department of Forests and
Waters has distributed approximately
7,000,444 trees for planting in sixty-
six counties of the State. A collection
of ornamental trees has been secrued
and allocated to the county superin-
tendents of the State.
During the two observances sched-
uled, and organized effort will be
made to beautify the school plants of
the State. The programs will not be
confined to the planting of trees
alone. Plans have been made to
plant schrubs, vines, climbers, hedges,
perennials, and other flowering plants
in a wey that will make the school
grounds more beautiful and attrac-
tive.
School authorities and teachers
have been requested to encourage the
following:
1. Planting properties.
2. Cleaning and tidying yards.
3. Removing unsightly fences and
substituting a hedge.
4. Planting a shade, fruit, nut, or
ornamental tree; shrubs, vines,
hedges, perennials, flowers.
5. Help reforest a barren hillside
or plant a vacant plot.
6. Plant a food tree, provide a nest-
box a shelter or a drinking fountain
for the birds.
7. Make a plan so that additional
plantings may fit into some orna-
mental scheme.
