El.I.Ell'S DIARY

By In Island runners Wife

After the week's "fltful fever.” the family at Alderlen reads well tonight. It is I night to encourage it. dark and dunplsh and I bit chilly without but cozy Ind quiet within the range of hearth-fire and light. we have just laid aside our book - one which on occasion through the day was responsible for allowing a spider to spin un- molested along I room-corner, the potatoes to scorch over the dinner-fire, and we to make ex- cuse when late we joined the others at the evening milking. For us ever since we could spell our way through a Sunday-school story -- an Elsie book or one of the Pansy series time stands still. when we open a book's covers. In the old armchair, James cons the pages of his newspaper. an en- joyment necessarily deferred until now because of the insistence and extent of the work which claimed our farmers throughout the day. A ioilsome task they chose, as though by this, they would make up for those "lost" hours of The Fair. By truck and farm-cart they ferried stones from I heap by the new land to the barn where in time a floor of concrete is to be laid. "Doing . . . Ellen!" James exclaimed. dividing the words with telling blows. when we came to summon him to supper. "Why, I'm breaking these stonesl"

. . . .

And now after his busy day he reads. the pages falling when discarded to lie uniidily o G the floor about his chair. Tr e, he may retrieve one or another of these after he mumbles: "Continu- ed on page 5 - now where on earth has that one gone-" James is one who reads thoroughly, es- pecially in those subjects which treat of farming and its way of life. "Did you see where they re- duced that thar tariff, Ellen?" he may observe looking up over his glasses. ”Yes, I've been expecting that -it's been 'in the wind' for some time." Or with surprise "Do you see what they're at now up in Ottawa? They're Haven't I been prophesying that all along?" The younger farmer too. keeps himself well informed on current matters and Jeanie shares our liking for books. a 0 We looked into a bed-room at the house across the lane this evening coming there with James through the early dusk. Youngest grandson was in his cot, engross- ed in a book. He looked up to speak eagerly of the "Horses!" and "Cows!" and "Pig-pigs!" that roamed the pages. In her bed granddaughter wore an exalted expression she assumes when es- iatically happy. "And what then.

Mommle?" she prompted Jeanie who had been reading to her. "What did happen to Mrs.

A DAY of conflicting and ad- verse conditions. with certain mat- ters under lively impetus and pro- gressive. but other testimonies spelling loss, disappointment and enforced postponements. Since the general situation is critical, it might be well to postpone vital 15- sues until more propitious rule. There are spiritual and intellec- tual stimuli to point the way.

Those whose birthday it is may anticipate I time of uncertainty and doubt, with much to handle with tact and discretion. if not subtlety. It may require keen maneuvering to reap significant results from several coriflicting factors. Private issue: Ire involv- ed. although some friendly aid might intervene.

A child born on this day. while ambitious and keen on the em- ployment of the intuitive and subtle to meet disturbing situations, may be involved by too personal decisions or interfering relatiom.

MORE ABOUT. PBOLAPSI OF ' LINING 0l' STOMACH

when regular attacks of indis- eetion occur It definite hours after eating. we think of ulcer of the stomach or of the first part of the small intestine into which the stomach empties-the' duodenum. When the individual. in middle- uged any pain in the stomach oc- curing immediately after menu makes us think of inflammation of lining of the stomach. gastritis. or of cancer. some months ago. I wrote of another condition of the stomach which is becoming in- creasingly common. that is. pro- lapse or falling of the lining walls of the stomach through the lower stomach opening into the first part of small intestine, the duodenum.

Any food or other object placed in the stomach will start the stom- ach walls moving in order to mix the food well with the digative juice of the stomach and to push the digested food into the snail intestine. However, mov N of the stomach walls can be started by worry and other emotional dis- turbances.as well as by food and in such cases the acid digestive juice produced acts as In irritant to the lining of the stomach. This is believed to be the cause of ulcer of stomach and small intey tine. In addition. there are some cases where this excessive move- ment. of the lining of stomach forces this lining of! the walls of the stomach downward into intes- tine: this is called "prolapse" of lining of stomach. Some months aizo I quoted Dr. H. G. Rudner in Southom Medical Journal, described the symptoms as "full- ness and distension of stomach. heartburn. and a colicky pain which begins one-hiilf to an hour after meals instead of two to four hours as with peptic ulcer.”

In Virginia Medical Monthly. Drs. D. B. Corcoran and K. K. Wallace discuss nine patients with prolapslng gastric (stomach) muc- osa illningl. all of whom complain- rd of stomach distress. Three com- plained of pain. two of nausea. three experienced vomiting and four giive a history of bleeding from the stomach. The only symp- tom ihe physician could get by ex- ' animation was mild to moderate lenderness over the stomach under pressure. The symptoms as stated by the patient are about the same a: with ulcer except. iis stated above. the pziln comes on within I -- hall to an hour after eating. much Princess Elizabeth sooner than with ulcer.
