A large metropolitan clinic or clique of doctors reports (to the profession) that a permanent cure is obtained in less than 50 per cent of cases of duo- denal ulcer by operation, and that secondary gastro-jejunal _uiceration (that means a new ulcer ai the site of the short-circuit union of stomach and intestine below the site of the| ia a third of ring the fact that in some of the surgical cases the operation is done as an emergency measure or even as a last resort after edical treatment has g:vcd inadequate or neglect has| ufluxh! the patient to a grave condi-| n.

As it is none of the patient’s business what these complications or emergency conditions may be that call for surg- ical intervention, we shall pass over them here, except to say that the pa- tient had better leave all such worry- ly the way, any one who may be trying to decide whether to have med- ical or sus treatment for tic ulcer should first make sure hm an ulcer. The joke is not so much on the doctor if he makes a mistake in diagnosis, nor on the surgeon if he concludes to call his work exploratory. ‘The joke is very much on the patient if his trouble happens to be just a duodenal ulcer complex due to excessive use of tobacco. One luckless sufferer | tried various kinas of treatment for | ulcer for 25 years, then learned that he had no ulcer, but a chronic chole- cystitis (gall-bladder trouble). In not 2 few cases recurring appendicitis h: masqueraded as duodenal ulcer. No adays the X-ray pictures, following barium test meal, help considerably in the diagnosis, though the opinion of | the physician who has studied the case is at least as weighty in the final de- cision as any X-ray evidence can be and any one who pins faith to unsup- ported X-ray evidence lays himself cpen to serious error, whether he sub- mits to operation or not. examination with the aid of the barium meal (barium serves simply to outline the stomach and intestine in the nega- tive) is of great value in checking the progress of the case under medical treatment, and such check is now made regularly at six-month intervals by doctors who give peptic ulcer cases careful and successful treatment.

Of course my Penn- sylvania friend may have used the ad- Jective in a humorous way, or he may have sought to give expression to a glad sense of gratitude and liberality— you know this is a very psychological talk and we must overlook no symbols which betray inner consclousness, emo- tions, repressed wishes and all that.

Then he has another course of flaxseeds for two or three days, then another two or three weeks of freedom. By cracky, he doesn't wonder the pill magnates want my scalp. Flaxseed psychotherapy does work fairly well in long-distance practice, I find. While I know that if I had the victim of the physic habit under my personal control, so that I could with- draw his favorite “regulator” abso- lutely, he would recover certainly and even more promptly as he does (in & fair proportion of cases) at long dis- tance by the aid of flaxseeds.

No amount of observation has ever taught me why a swarm of gnats goes round and round. When the observa- tional method in science can teach us nothing more it is time, they say, to try the experimental method. You might, for instance, put the gnats on & centri- fuge and whirl them away from the center of rotation instead of toward the center. You could try operating on their eustachian tubes (if gnats have such hings). Japanese waltzing mice have defective eustachian tubes, and hence are condemned by a fault in glandular development to a dance marathon that lasts all a mouse lifetime. Bee swarms center about a queen bee, but nobody I think will suggest the idea of a queen gnat. Swarm flies, which are common in Europe and are found, as & gypsy species, in some Washington houses, also whirl giddily about the center of the room, especially if there is a focal object like a chandelier or a string or strip of paper. I can easily offer an explanation for their habits— having the name of swarm flles, they are obliged to swarm, just to live up to | their reputation. But in spite of my indeavors to side- track the question I am left with the problem of why gnats gyrate in that vertiginous way. It is just as good a subject for a doctor’s thesis as most was unable to find it, and “Women in Anglo-Saxon Poetry,’ their being no woman in Anglo-Saxon poetry. A few evenings ago, watching the rythmic rise and fall of a gyrating gnat swarm in the hot Summer twilight, I thought I discovered the reason. Two tree swallows from opposite directions swooped upon the swarm. Swift as the darting pursuit of the dipping swallows, the gnat swarm dip and rose, wheeled, turned, did giddy executions. The rea- son, I said, that gnats go round is to make the swallows work for their din- ner, and, , do a dipping dance delectable to human eyes.’ But selence sternly refused me this answer; nothing in the philosophy of modern science is admitted to exist in order that some- thing else may exist; the habits of any species are not even allowed by scientists to be explained on the basis of their usefulness to that specles, because that might imply that gnats finding them- selves the prey* of swallows, adapted gyrating habits just in order to spite the swallow tribe.

Holds That Sise Makes No Difference atten. “No fat man ever broke up a home,” the lawyer emphatically declared. Perhaps this argument may have been convincing to & man jury, but a woman jury would have laughed it off, because a man’s attractiveness to a woman does not depend upon his weight. Women don’t estimate men on the hoof, 50 to speak. They value them for things of the spirit, for their under- standing, their sympathy, their intelligence, their strength, not for their size. Of course, in fiction and romance the traditional lady-killers, the Don Juans and the Lotharios and the Romeos, all inclined to the early Gothic 1 d of the Queen Anne style of architecture, but you will find in real life that no men cut & wider swathe among the women than do the fat men. Look around at the good family men—the men who are always bragging about their Marias and about how smart their children are; the men who hang and who tak ictures and paint the kitchen floor of an evening, who cut the the wife and children out in the car every Sunday. grass Aren't they always plump, jolly, round-faced men whose tailors are always letting out their waistbands? Every woman admits that she likes to see her husband take on flesh after he gets married. There are many reasons for this. One is that he does credit to her housekeeping and the care she takes of him. She doesn’t want to have him going around looking like & haif-starved cat that doesn't get enough sto eat at home, or to appear as one who is poisoned on his bride's housekeeping. She desires to have him look fat and prosperous and contented, the visible proof of the excellence of her handiwork. Another reason is that the fat man is the only husband for whom a wife can put any pep into her housekeeping. There is no kick in getting up a fine dinner and concocting new dishes for a dyspeptic man who is as thin as a rail, who has no appetite and only picks at his food. But the fat man loves to eat. Otherwise he would not be fat, and he partakes of his good food with a savor of every sauce and with beating upon the cymbals for his wife's artistry in cooking. Furthermore, the wife of & fat man knows that as long as his appetite lasts she brews & spell with the pots and pans that no siren can break, and that she can keep him eating out of her hand. Also she has a charm by which she can work him, for a full stomach makes & generous heart and a peaceful disposition. No man feels like quarreling when he has just been stuffed on the dishes he likes best, whereas the thin man is always in fighting trim and ready for a mix-up. A fat man is & woman's best bet as & husband because he is more or less safe from the flappers, for it takes more age and experience than a young girl possesses to know how often he is really worth his weight in gold. 8o the lawyer who contends that nobody loves a fat man is 'rong,o Prac- abou tically all women do.

The method which I will tell you about was sug- ested to & young girl by & wise old amily physician. “My dear,” said-he, “I want you to buy yourself a pot of rouge and I want you to put a rab- bit's foot in your pocket and then take this pot of rouge and walk 4 miles out into the country. At the end of the 4 miles dig & hole in the ground and bury the rouge pot. Leave it there and go home, and every day after that I want you to take the rabbit's foot in your pocket and walk out to the place where you have buried the rouge pot. After a few weeks of this the rouge will come to your cheeks.” If “Sweet Sixteen” will follow this advice, I'm quite sure she will soon have all the natural coloring she needs. She might even omit the rabbit’s foot and be just as successful. Cosmetics are a wonderful aud toward beauty, but they do not belong to youth, for youth doesn't need them. When youth has gone, it is time enough for milady to put & deft touch of artificial coloring in her cheeks, but for a young girl such procedure is most assuredly an attempt to “gild the lily.” I hope you girls who write to me about cosmetics have® read my reeent article on the value of water as an aid to beauty.

A new era dawned and with it came the knowl- edge that not all mortgage bonds are what they seem, or what one expects them .to be. Because mortgage bonds carried with them an assurance of safety, they were used as bait for unsuspecting woman investors. Today those who have found their way to sucker lists are not both- ered so much by “‘mo fers . . . the bait. ‘Today women know that a mortgage bond may be unsecured by real prop- erty, or that it may be only fractionally secured. They know that recently, for example, & bullding leased to the Gov- ernment was appraised at over six times its value. They know what a mort- gage on that building is worth! ‘They wish to know who appraised the property and all about its condi- tions, its incame, its assessment and other facts of interest. A mo on an unimproved or non-productive property is as specu- lative as the property itself.
