TUBE THROUGH STOMAC-ll . T0 SMALL INTESTINE

It is often necessary for the physician to use certain drugs or other substances that he does not want acted upon by me stom.-ion digestive juices. For this reason he uses a weighted tube that is long enough to go from the nose 01 mouth through the esophagus (tube loading from meat to stom- ach), and thence through the stomach into the duodenum, the flrst- part of the small intestine. By the aid of the fluroscop: (x-ray) the physician can watch the lower end of the tube as 1'. is carried through the stomach and into duodenum. In the Lancet. London. Dr. A. B. James stitcs that intubation of the duodeiiuir is often difficult withtut the aid of the fluorcscope particularly when the patient is a young child or is seriously ill. To get arouiidy this difficulty, Dr. Janies has de-. velcped a method of locating tiiel tube tip without the Rl(i of x-iays. ent magnet into the tip of tlit-i throughthe stomach by presslnu a small compass on the abdomen and Not only the location but the dip? ection of the tube (xiii be di-tor mined by this method.

During the war years Princess Elizabeth had many stimulating conversations with members of the Canadian Forces who were en- ieriained at Windsor Castle. the evacuation home of the King's daughters. She heard much about the Dominion from Princess Alice and the Earl of Athlone, former

Governor-Geiieral of Canada. and from friends of the Royal Family such as Mr. Winston Churchill. the Tweedsmuirs and

the Vincent Miisseys.

DEAR DOROTHY DIX: Could it be it handicap to a happy mar- riage for A woman to feel that her husband is mentally inferior to her? Otherwise. he has nll the qualities needed for a good husband.

M Q

ANSWER: It would not only be a handicap but absolutely ruin- ous. Howc-vci', who is to judge ilie mental inferiority of another creature? is your contention based on formald, education, or what? Even if the wife possesses a better education than her husband. it definitely,dot-s not indicate that he is mentally inferior. I-ler supposi- tion of superiority is probably ,nothing but vanity. but if she is con- vinced that her intelligence is better than her husband's and goes to any length to keep him reminded of the fact, hubby is on the way to a nervous breakdown at least.

Try making your comparisons on a spiritual level. Who has more chtirnclcr. is more generous. loyal. religious. and tolerant--tho mm! or woman? Tlioso are the characteristics that C0llnt4llO'. a specious comparison of I.Q.'s.

Prince Philip was quite .en- thuslastic about making a. tour overseas with his wife. His vigor- ous personality thoroughly enjoys a change of scene and indeed he has already travelled to many parts of the world. especially since he became an officer in the Royal Navy. Before his marriage he served with the Pacific Fleet. so his only doubt about crossing the Atlantic again was that the Royal trip was not going to be "too much starched shirt," which Pincess Elizabeth quickly assured him was not going to be the case.
