MD. a A .-I:.-Z”.. & x s OPERATION TO REMOVE RIJPTURED DISC GIVES EXCELLENT RESULTS when the back has been injured by a. fall or blow, and there is pain in the small of the back and down back of leg (sciatica). the physician usually has an X-ray made. Frequently he finds that a disc between two of the bones in the lower part of the spine has been ruptured. If this is the case. the problem is whether to use a snug-sntting belt or to have the patient undergo operation. Formerly, a snug-flttixig belt with three straps was used exclus- ively. The middle strap of the belt comes across the buttocks directly ovcrthe Joint holding together the pelvic bone and the lower back part of the spinal column--sacroih lac joint. In most cases of back strain or sprain, and even with rupture of a disc. this belt or brace not only gives relief from pain but after several months the patient is completely well again. though he may wear the belt or brace for sev- eral months thereafter as a safe- guard against further strain. There are. however. many cases where the injury is so severe that operation to relieve pain and ob- tain a permanent result becomes necessary. Naturally, the patient would sooner wear a belt or sup- port a long time than undergo op- eration. Besides. he has heard or knows of a case. perhaps more than one, where the operation was not a success.

As James himself de- clored this evening when every workaday care was over and the peace and serenity of our day of Rest was already casting its trun- qull shadow before, "It's been good, Ellen! Could we have wished for better? We have something tans- lble to show for every day - that's the sort of week I most like." In retrospect, we fancy he was looking back to the activity which occupied the first morning of it- the excitement and satisfaction of sending the fat cattle to market. There was a mist of dampness on the hills then and we thought at the time that it was just as well. Finer weather would have kept the farmers at their harvesting and they would not have enjoyed the delights of this disposal at all. It is an occasion at Alderlea which justifies a holiday for them. be- cause now comes the reward for their care of two years. Not alto- gether the monetary return. ne- cessary and welcome as this is. but the satisfaction of knowing that certain conjecturlngs about this or that breed. this or that method of feeding, may now prove to be truth. We interrupted our dishwash- ing to watch the loading at a win- dow and when presently the pro- cession entered the lane, our busy little truck in the recr. we came outdoor to see it disappear at length in a shower beyond the hill. And "let the farmers who have been so faithful in the dis- charge of their duties be not disap- pointed now" was our thought. "May that 'whitlsh' one and that ' 'red helfei" have little buoyancy this morning but rest four-square on the scales to bring a rind of ap- proval from James!" I O 0 Next dawning brought the hustle and excitement of the threshing- teams and grain-wagons, tractors and trucks assembled and helpers brought in. James rather difficult to please in the line of help as- serted today: "We couldn't have found better!" Jamie's city grand- father on perpetual holiday now from his rail-reading days was Rob's right-hand man in the har- vest-field while to Mr. .4... neigh- bor to us. and experienced at the work went the rite of feeding the thresher. Jamie came after school-hours to help carry the baskets of grain to the granary. and to free it at a stern nod of young prowlers. who had a yen to choose it. for a play- ground. And how well we have en- joyed the recent days! loving each hour that unfolded before us, de- lighting in the rare gold and glory of it and finding as an under- standing lady reminded us re- cently. a great satisfaction and content in "Earth's Common Things" about. she it was who gave us these lines by M.

A uclvl story from Rome reveals the dress regulations laid down by From Scotland there came howls of protest. "Remind the Princess she will one day be Defender of the (Anglican) Faith," cried some.

Every re- putable national and provincial newspaper in Britain supported her action and the critics were silenced. O 0 O In making decisions for herself on matters which affect both her public and private life, Elizabeth showed that her preparations for Queenship do not include a fear of personal criticism. She already knows from her ailing father that the job of a constitutional sovereign is no sine- cure, nor Just a matter of parad- es. processions and ceremonial.
