CANKEB SOBEB MOST OFTEN CAUSED BY FOOD ALLEIUGY

While many cases of ' canker sores are caused by various condi- tions of the mouth, the majority are caused by digestive disturb- ances and certain foods seem to disagree with the patients. For some time, physicians have suspected that when foods disagree and canker sores appear. it is oe- cause the patient is sensitive or al- lergic to these foods.

Her Royal Highness, The Prin- cess Elizabeth. Duchess of Edin- burgh. accompanied by His Mill Highness. The Duke of Edinburgh, will visit Canada in October Ind November. By special arrange- ment. The Guardian is presenting I series of twelve articles outlin- ing the plans and preparations for the tour which are being made in Clarence House. the Royal Coup- le's official town house in London. The author is Margaret Seville. who has an established reputation as a writer of books and articles on subjects relating to the British

Royal Family. the first article in the series follows. I O 0 When Princess Elizabeth and

Prince Philip speak of home, they mean the big white Clarence St. James's Palace in London. And the heart of it . . . the place in which they spend most of their time . . . . is a de- lightful room on the second floor with turquoise-walls and pieces of antique mahogany that among the Royal couple's wedding gifts. The overstuffed chairs and the deep couch are upholstered in blue chintz patterned with scarlet flowers. Thcre is a tall bookcase containing many modern novels and standard sporting lots of family photographs one of princess Elizabeth's favor- lie pictures. a ballet study, and I soft Chinese carpet.

Here in this pleasant sitting- room, the Royal Duke and Duch- css are now preparing for their coming visit to Canada. on the flat-topped Sheraton desk are all the papers concerned with the trip and a large-scale at- las of the world, new permanent- ly left open at the double page which shows North America. Here the travellers have been talking with Field Marshal Lord Alexan- der. with officials from Bucking- lmni Pnlacc. with their own house- hold cxecutives and their secre- taries. arranging all the myriad details of their tour. The white telephone rings constantly. interrupting the radio and vision sessions which are Edinbur:hs' usual evening tainment at home.

On board his ship the Duke made similar weekly discs and exchIng- ed them with his wife. so Prince Charles became quite Ioctistomed to sitting on his mother's knee and listening while his inner re- lated the current story of the voy- age, adding a special message for concluding with "be a good chap and look If- tcr Mummy for me."

Granny is one of his favorite people and she will take charge of both Prince Charles and Princess Anne while the Edinburgh: are away.

She is a pleasant-faced brunette Scotswoman in her late thirties who is assisted by two Scottish nurset-naids and a young male steward. If Miss Lightbody needs any direction she will telephone the Queen at Buckingham Palace. Before the Edinburghs leave, Prin- cess Elizabeth will make arrange- ments to call up Clarence House on the ocean telephone nearly every day. so that both she and Prince Philip can speak to their children as well as hearing Mist Llghtbody's reports.
