CIGHING AND DEEP BREATH- IN GMAY CAUSE DISTRESS- ING SYMPTOMS

A middle-lied wcrna consulted her physician about symptoms that seemed to be present on] when she was tired or u-pset. qmp ivlwwd or a reeling of lighthcad- edneS-i. of finding it hard to get her breath. that she just could not “m1 w set enough air into. her lungs. At times also, she had a numbness and tingling in her fing- ers and toes.

He!‘ Dhyilcla-Yl knew that she had lust buried a loved one and was Imtlmﬂlly upset. He was able to show heir that she was in the habit P1’ Slghlng a great deal of the time. Ind thus breathed in more air than Lime needed. The condition was call- td hyperventilation or overventila- zicn of the lungs. This caused too much Oxygen to be present in the ‘M1135 and in the blood. and not though carbon dioxide. This condi- ilon is called respiratory alkalosis,

In “Medical Clinics cf North Airnerioa," Haddon M. Cairryer, Mayo Clinic. states that as the symptoms naturally alarm the pat- ient because he feels he is smother- ing, the patient and others about Wm should know what is causing the symptoms and how these Synlp. loms should be controlled.

An early symptom is that of iightiheadedness and unsteadiness. linen follows a feeling of UJlPilllPSS if the chest. and the pal-lent keeps breathing deeply i-o get more air that he naturally feels that lie needs. Patients may fan themselves ind glance around for the nearest rxit. Often they will go out of lcoirs or open a window in order )0 seotire more adequate respir- \tlon."

Tlhero in a dull pressure in the lhcst and the patient. like most liiher individuals thinks he has ucmethizig wrong with his heart. Because of too much oxygen in the lungs and blood not enough carbon dioxide pressure and the condi- tion of alkolosir. there is a. sense oi’ numbness and tingling 1n hand; and feet and around the lips. A few deep breaths usually will bring on U16 symptoms. if the physician is not gure of the diagnosis.

Thentreatment consists in hold- ing the breath a few minutes or re- breatblng into a paper bag. This gets less oxygen and more carbon dioridc into the lungs. frees more nxygen into the rod blood cells, and the symptom; disappear.

‘Dorcthy Dix Says-

Over-Worked Woman

Matron Advised To Take Rest From Lﬂrgo Family Chorus

DEAR. DOROTHY DIX: We have two children of our own and have taken two other small children to board. My husband and I love each other dearly and have been very haPPY together. but lately I have gotten very nervous. I have never been able to take a little kidding. I ‘get. mad over the least little thing and find myself crying and quarreling. Everything seems bad and wrong and miserable to me.

I don't like to make the excuse that it is the extra two children, one of whom is tvro and a half years old and a baby three months, but at. times I feel like I am going crazy. I am a highly strung person. to begin with. but now I seem to have lost all the sense I ever had and I imagine that my husband is getting dissatisfied with me and tired of mc. I know he really isn't. ut I lct the thought make me mad. Can you help mo?

WIFE AND MOTHER

ANSWER: What. you need. lady, is to meet

you: problem with a little common sense and apply

a good old-faihioned, home-made remedy that never fails to work. Wharf you should have is rest and relaxation and a little change.

ovcn-wonxcn

You have gotten into this morbid condition by overdoing. Doing you: own cooking and housework and taking care of four small child- ren one of whom is a baby and the other a toddler, would shatter any womans nerves and ru." her crazy, unless she was made of chilled steel or some other unbreakable material.

Sc get rid of your boarders at once. Farm your own two atnail kids out to someone you can tust and go off somewhere, anywhere. and you will come back soothed and comforted and full of pep. And I hope you Will have profited enough by your lesson not to make an orphan asylum of yourself again.

'l‘ako this tip, also, lady: Just remember that when you get so that your ltusbands jokes get on your nerves and you can't take a little kidding and you fly off the handle and get mad when no offense is intended. you need a little separation from your husband. You will come back all in love with him again and thinking he is a Fairy Prince. There wouldn't be so many broken-up homes and half-orphaned chil- dren if more wives would take a. trip, instead of rushing to the divorce court. t

DEAR DOROTHY DIX: I intend to give my sweetheart an en- gagement ring within the next few weeks. Should I ask he: parents’ permision to do so? She is s 11-year-old high school student who will graduate in June. I arn 22 and have steady employment after serving three years in the Seabees. and I have known her since she was l5 years old. We intend to wait two years until she is 19 before we marry. In the meantime we both work and put aside for the future.

Are our plans sensible?

EQC-SEABHI

ANSWER: Eminently sensible as plans. and I only hope that you Wm have the courage to put them into execution. instead of rushing into a boy and sirlmalflaae. ‘The two years between 1'7 and l9 will be the guarantee of a. happy and successful marriage if you sport‘? thin; 1n ggtﬁng really acquainted with each other and flndln! 011i u W B you feel for each other is mature love or 1"“ a “hildiﬁh TBHCY- v m0“; ygung people would make their engagement a preview, as it were, o marriage. it would save a lot of bitter regrets.

Snow i: falling now. though only lizhtly.

A load of seed potatoes remains to be sent to market from the other farm and besides James and I still have the tryst to keep in some ivoodsy glade - there to gather branches to cover our shivering perennials. Jamie and I did put some of the more tender to bed one day beneath a. counterpane of straw, securing a meagre supply only because of a. purposeful tread and to the tune of scrne complain- ing. "Taking straw, is it. you are, Ellen?“ James came to a barn door to grumble “to cover some blasted flowers — and perhaps we'll be needing it for feed for the stock before Spring." And I smiled to Jamie, who took barely a wisp in stead of the urmful he had plan- ned_ while with a high resolve, I claimed as my due the one gener- ous helping. For it seems to me that ﬂowers go with our farming. As I look back through the vears I find it. contained forsythia and baskets overflowing with piglet-s. broad-faced pansies and downy ducklings or chicks, yellow daffo- dils and lambkins or calves, sun- kissed roses and foals, all inter- mingled in tho warp and woof cf it. ‘ ‘ ‘

In yesterdays Sabbath James and I came to the other ChliICﬂ £0 pay last respects to an old neighbor, who recently had gone to that “house not made with hands." News of his death. return- memories to us, pleasant

A near neighbor of many years, this man had been, his homo being next to the area of woodland across the road from ours. Hero it was that he and his good wife had reared their large family of girls and boys, showing them an exam- ple of thrift and industry and nice living that few parents Island over could surpass. “And there were no childrens‘ allowances then" James remarked as we talked of it. No, and livings were hardly won then. by long and tiring days of work and the many demands for food

and clothing for their brood must -

have often presented an extreme- ly difficult problem to these two who mced life so gallantly together. And the happiness that ivas in that home! I can still recall the gay sounds of laughing voices of the children at play on a. Summer evening. They knew nothing at all of the loneliness of one child, for since there were all of a dozen of ilYemsclves, there was no lack of numbers for their games. I ivishcd for no better rearing for mine than that given to those. What better was there? I remember now the small ones us still as mice and so respectful to their parents such times as we came there a-risiting. l O O

James recalled other things. "He was a. great stock-man-and how he loved fussing over his cattle and horsel" We spoke too of his days with u: at seasonal work or perhaps at the stumping which came between times. We remom bered the wife. She was M: and slight. yet l. tower of strength to them. Many a time I wondered how so lmall a woman could wash and iron and clean and mend and sew and bake and cook for that family in a never-ending round of work. They were pretty well “own up before she, rather ilveary I suspect. 1eft. them_ but not desolate for they still had the memory oi a good and faithful mother to bless them. We mentioned foo how quickly the family had scattered, as children will and I recall being lonely when st last the house was vacant and no happy voices of children at play reached me as I weeded my‘ garden or gathered the cows to the milking.
