NORTHWEST NEWS

The Northern Pacific railway will
spend $14S,302 for improvements and
additions to lines in the northwest
during the summer, according to an
nouncement received in Spokane re.
Gently, by A. d. Charlton, general pas
senger agent.
Most Of the money will be spent in
and about the eastern Washington di.
visions. Work will start as soon as
definite arrangements can be made.
Historical lore hitherto unwritten is
rapidly coming to light as result Of
interest in the pageant, "How the
West Was Won," to be produced in
Walla Walla, June and z. No less
than three prominent pioneers have
furnished information regarding Pa
cific northwest history which throws
an interesting light upon events
briefly heralded in historic volumes.
This information is being gathered
and compiled for use during the page

actors will take part in this stipend.

night, DEAR" she said, caressing his
forehead, holding his big hand warm
ly in her own"
He again began to speak, but with
the same little gesture as before, she
placed her finger over his lips and
said:
NO, John, dear boy, not now.
Let's just sit and talk of how dear
we are to one another, and of love
and of all the nice things that have
come to us Will your"
He turned and looked upon her as
she nestled closely against his breast,
and he sighed to himself. She was
bewitching him. A light shone in his
eyes which Mary had not seen before.
He seemed unable to Withhold what
was in his heart He felt unable to
be false to her now. He twisted, his
| fingers working neryously over the
lacy fringe of her gown.
Then even as the bride in the
house next door had done on that
even when John had looked SO en-
viously upon their movements, Mary
placed her other arm about her hus-
band, implored him to come along,
then raised, turned out the light and

to the rooms above.

normally free hydrochloric acid. fer
ments, salts and water. Digestion in
the stomach is largely churning and
mixing of the food by the powerful
waves of the stomach's construction.
Little food is absorbed from the stom.
ach itself.
When child is developing scar
let fever or pneumonia, one of the
earliest symptoms is vomiting. When
grown-up gets an acute attack of ap-
pendicitis pain in the stomach and
vomiting are usually the first symp-
toms. Brain tumors cause vomiting,
likewise bad kidneys and diabetes. A
bad heart occasionally upsets the
stomach and gall stones usually do
Nervous breakdowns usually cause
stomach symptoms.
Ulcer of the stomach is relatively
rare in proportion to the number who
consider themselves thus afflicted

than in women; and yet more wom-

These ulcers cause pain, sour stom-
ach, gas and belching, and marked
increase in stomach acidity Eating or
taking alkalies reduces the acidity and
temporarily relieves the pain, which

makes little difference in the relief.
Often long periods without symptoms
occur and for no apparent reason;
then the symptoms begin again daily
for days or weeks. Hemmorhage from
such ulcers occurs in about 10 per
cent of victims. Occasionally such an
ulcer perforates, causing sudden ex-
cruciating agony, so violent that the
patient is afraid to move and can
hardly breathe, and immediate opera
ton is imperative to save life.
Cancer of the stomach is a most
insidious disease coming on in mid.

ress 1t causes slight and indefinite
symptoms or no symptoms at all.
Gradually there is failure in appe-
title and desire for food, but usually
no pain. 1t is great pity that early
cancer rarely causes pain in any To-
cation, and yet if discovered early
many cases can be cured by proper
treatment.
The diagnosis of stomach diseases
has in the last 10 years changed from

she said softly, her face pressed
closely against that of her husband.

He caressed her shoulder with his now
calm and steady hand. She breathing

"You know, john" she said after

INsrALLMENT NO. 9.

Then came to Mary Emerson the
instructive determination that turks
deeply in the soul of every woman
who loves. She would not give up her
husband She had won him in her
own way, and she would keep him.
She would fight for what belonged to
her. Why should she be so weak as
to allow her home to be disrupted by
someone in far away New York whom
she had never met? Was not she as
clever as the others? Was she not
capable of holding the interest of her
own husband? She would show him.
She was talking to herself in short,
interrupted gasps, as she walked
down the stairway to bid farewell to
the now departing crowds, the while
dashing pink powder here and there
on her flushed face. Yes" she was
saying, hes mine-my own John. I'll
see what woman can take him"
1t required no little amount of
acting for her to cast aside the con-
flicting emotions that gripped her as
John placed an arm about her waist
and escorted her to the front door
way where Ruth and her happy young
husband stood ready to receive the
farewell kisses that would seal them
away to their honeymoon Friends
crowded about grasping the hands of
the parents and casting bantering
jokes, ever present on the wedding
day. John and Mary stood smiling,
bowling to the thinning crowd, and
finally they held their two children
in their arms and wished them hap
piness and with slight gulps and
stammerings sped them on their
way.
And now the moment which both
had so dreaded was upon them. Hus-
band and wife alone John stood
beside Mary, his lips moving convul-
sively his eyes tired and sad Mary
said nothing, did nothing. There was
silence 1t seemed never to end.
In Johns mind there was the con
tinuous buzz of question. Had
Mary read the letter? Did she know
He thought he could not withstand
the uncertainty Of it all. He must
tell her the whole miserable truth.
He must bare his meanness Yes, it
was meanness-downrigh meanness.
But Mary was thinking too. She
must not let him know she had read
the miserable letter She noted the
flush Of his face, the bead Of per-
SEPARATION on his gray temple. AS he
finally made as If to speak, spreading
his hands out before her. she sensed
what was coming, and she rougishly
lifted finger and placed it against
his lips.
"No! MOI" she warned, mot now
you're tired, my dear boy. Aw-
fully tired. You don't have to talk
or do anything at all tonight To
morrow, when we are rested, you may
tell me all about your trip-every-
thing. | know how you must feel
Such long, tiresome, fatiguing
trip And she threw an arm about
his neck and led him toward an easy
chair. John avoided her eyes and
submitted to her guidance. He sat
down. Mary dropped beside him,
closely still clinging to him.

to one Of the most exact of all dag
nostic procedures. The careful watch
ing and Interpretation Of the behavior
and outline Of the stomach (made
visible by filling it with barium or
bismuth) by an X-ray expert with the
microscope reveals its secrets with
astounding accuracy. This work re-
quires high degree Of technical skill
and experience and can not be we'll
done except by physician who has
taken much special training in this
line of work. The outline of the stom-
ach constantly and swiftly changes.
A single X-ray plate may show what
looks like no cancer or ulcer, a mo-
ment later the whole picture has
changed. Therefore the unskilled
worker may diagnose cancers and ul-
GERS which do not exist, and this has
led to grievou serror In certain cases
the expert must microscope the pa
tient more than once to be certain
of his diagnosis.
The experts final opinion is there
fore very valuable both from posi-
tive and negative standpoint, whereas
inexpert examination is worse than
useless. In good hands such diagnosis
now is 95 per cent accurate, whereas
10 years ago the best was only ap.
proximate. In inexperienced hands
present X-ray diagnosis is not even
approximately correct.
Manifestly carefully and complete
study Of the whole patient must be
made to accurately determine why a
stomach misbehaves. The X-ray ex-
animation only shows deformity or
spasm in the outline of the stomach
and this occurs in only is per cent of
those stomachs that growl. The peo-
pie with the remaining IS per cent of
disturbed stomachs may be suffering
from brain tumor or flat feet, or some
thing wrong between these two.
White Bluffs spokesman. [volume] (White Bluffs, Wash.) 1907-1938, 1923-05-18
POULTRY

According to the United States de-
partment of agriculture, the disease of
baby chicks known as bacillary white
diarrhea can not be cured by any
known method Of medical treatment,
but 1t can be stamped out of flock
by other measures.
This disease is the most serious
confronting most poultrymen during
the spring months because most
deaths caused by 1t occur within two
weeks after the infected brood has
been Matched. Usually only a few of
an infected brood are left alive, and
these are unfit for future breeding
purposes, as they serve as carriers
and sources of future outbreaks. The
malady is so prevalent and destruc-
tive in many sections of the country
that various tastes are taking active
measures for its control.
Incubators' and brooders which have
held an infected brood should be thor
oughly cleaned and disinfected with
per cent solution of carbolic acid
before they are again used. If flock
Of hens is found to carry the disease,
the entire flock should be disposed Of
so that 1t will not again be used for
breeding purposes, and replaced with
birds from healthy flock.
Several state agricultural expert
ment stations are conducting an ag-
glutination test for the detection of
chickens which carry the germ of
bacillary white diarrhea. Because of
the expense this method of eradica-
ton is warranted only in the case Of
very valuable stock.
Poultry raisers who maintain fiocks
free from disease carriers, or who OBJ
tain eggs for Matching, or day-old
chicks, derived from such fiocks, are
practically assured Of freedom from
the scourge of the disease.

Mary looked into his eyes, She saw
again the formation of a determine

liked to say, but which he knew he
must say.

could stop him, there's lot of

She stood before him and slowly
extracted from her gown the let
ter-the dread letter which had
caused her husband so many pangs Of
regret.

at her, appealingly 'Please don't
read it. It's nothing. / don't want

She held it before her, a look of
establishment in her eyes, while her
husband, his hands visibly shaking,
reached up toward her, almost prayer
fully.

And then, weakly: TITS just silly"
Mary laughed merrily, and said:

AS she stood there, the letter held

scrawled address beaming down into
Johns eyes, all the agony of the

gone since he had written it and
dropped it into the mail box swept
over him He saw again the scene
of himself standing in hallway
waiting to see woman whom he had
no right to see, and he felt again the
pang of remorse, the singing, cut

to him when, at last, he had realized
Gloria Tuyl had only been playing
with him. He realized now if he
had not realized it before the utter
impossibility of happiness from such
