Should Relatives Give Engagement

The giving Of engagement presents has
become quite a custom of late, but It is
usually the friends OF the bride-to-be who
give her showers OF linen, lingerie, kitchen
utenslls- etc. The mans relatives would be
doing a gracious thing to send her little
present for her trousseau. Any article OF
lingerie, table linen. embroidery would
make pretty presnt
The parents and sisters Of the brids-
groom-to-be should call first on his iancee

Ulcers of the Stomach

nNHAT ulcers Of the stomach and duo
i denum are durable is clearly shown by
the fact that scars left by healed ulcers are
often found in the stomach and duodenum
after death. Numerous cases are on record
also in which patients who have suffered
from severe gastric ulcer have recovered
permanently. without doubt the majority
Of cases are durable by the application OF
proper means. In general the measures
which are OF essential service are the fol-
lowing:
The patient must rest in bed or in hori-
zontal position from one TO three weeks.
All food should be withdrawn for two
or three days. sometimes even longer wheh
severe hemorrhages have occurred.
The secretion Of acid continues although
food is not given as shown by pain or other
svmptoms indicative of the presence OF acld.
Carbonate Of soda should be given in SUI
ficient quantity TO neutralize the ac'u' Wheh
the acid is completely neutraltzed the pam
will usually cease. --
After two or three days Of abstinence
small quantities of bland food are gwen
The amount Of food is Increased from day

strengthening Very short and very hot
baths have a tonic effect also. while long.
cold baths are very depressing. In cold
weather cold-air bath is in many cases
TO be recommended instead of cold-water
bath. For this the body should be exposed
TO the air for three or four minutes, the
skin vigorously rubbed in the meantime

To Relieve Pain

, What Is the best way to relieve pain? S. d.
Aside from opiates, which should never
be used except by the advice of a phys-
clan, there is no means by which pain may
be so promptly and positively relieved as
by the application of moist heat. For this
purpose use soft flannel wrung out OF
water as hot as can be borne. Cover the
hot wet flannel with something thick and
dry to hold In the heat. The fermentation
will divert the blood from the painful part
and also will have quieting influence upon
the nerves. The area covered by the
fermentation should be very much larger
than that affected by the pain--at least
three or four times as large.

Origin of Name Bar le Due Jelly

To the Editor Of WomdH's Page:
Dear Madsm-Can you please tell me where
the name bar lie due came from and also what
makes the Jelly so expensive to buy?
READER.
Bar le due jelly is named after the little
town Of Bar lie Due in France. Large guam
titles OF this particular kind Of jelly are
made there.
The jelly is 80 expensive because most
OF 1t has been imported and because Of the
intricacies of it's manufacture. 1t is made
of currants An incislon of a quarter Of
an inch is made in the skin of each with
tiny embroidery scissors Through this slit
the seeds are removed with the aid of a
needle and thus the shape OF the fruit is
preserved The currants are sealed after
they have been prepared with honey.
