famous Russian scientist, showed half
a century ago that the stomach juices
are similarly under unconscious nerv-
GUS control and he likewise showed
that the old Roman habit of starting
dinner with soup, still exists because
soups, or meat extractives, are a
most powerful stimulant to the stom-
ach juices.
The stomach may therefore secrete
much gastric juice and have many lit
tie hunger contractions when its hun
cry owner sees the dinner table; and
it may refuse to secrete, though its
owner be hungry, in the presence of
disagreeable sights or smells In fact

no pain. 1t is a great pity that early
cancer rarely causes pain in any 10
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
more or less haphazard guessing
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 a high degree of technical skill
and experience and can not be well
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, 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 Horoscope the pa
tient more than once to be certain
of his diagnosis.

nauseating sight offends the sensitive
brain of the surrounding party.
The stomach juices amount to sew
eral pints in the day and contain
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 a child is developing scar
let fever or pneumonia, one of the
earliest symptoms is vomiting. When
a 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.

These ulcers cause pain, sour stom-

increase in stomach acidity Eating or

Often long periods without symptoms

then the symptoms begin again daily

such ulcers occurs in about 10 per

He again began to speak, but with
the same little gesture as before, she
placed her finger over his lips and
said:

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

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

He followed, muttering to himself
quiet beneath his breath. OF course
she ought to be told. He wanted to
make a clean story of it all. Tell
her of his weakness-his foolishness.
He must.
But Mary was not to be overruled.
AS he grasped her tightly in his arms
when they had entered their bedroom
and began again to speak, she placed
her palm across his mouth and shook
her head prettily.

She drew more closely beside him
and placed his hands about her as
she had placed them when they were
sweethearts. And there they sat for
many minute that night, while in
her fingers she held the ominous and
fateful letter. He thought of asking
her to give it to him, then of snatch
ing it from her But these actions,
he concluded would only involve mat

even though he had been dishonest

AS he was considering these things,
Mary slowly rose and walked to the
in which a small blaze was
leaping. She smiled back at her hus-
band, and saw his lips move again as
he watched her handle the little
square envelope and paper. Now she
would read it. OF that he had little
doubt. But she did not, Instead,
she held it high in the air so that he
could have one clear view of it, then
she dashed it quickly into the blaze,
and it was consumed, curling up, as
they watched it silently, into ashes

flakes drifted up the chimney.

INSTALLMENT NO. 8

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 Eyes," 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
nd ,,o MI
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. II 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-d downright 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-
spiration 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 a finger and placed it against
his lips
mol Mo-" she warned, mot now
you're tired, my dear boy Aw-

or do anything at all tonight. To

his neck and led him toward an easy b
chair. John avoided her eyes and L
submitted to her guidance. He sat v

understanding them-failing to do
with them precisely what he wished
to do. He hesitated a moment, and
Mary looked into his eyes. She saw
again the formation of a determine
ton to say something which he dis
liked to say, but which he knew he
must say.
But, Mary" he began, before she
could stop him, there's a lot of
things I've got to tell
Not tonight" she cut in. Not
tonight | will not have you fretting
like this"
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
please, Mary" he almost shouted
at her, appealingly. please don't
read it. It's nothing l don't want
you to-"
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
mo, don't read the thing" he said.
And then, weakly: Its just silly"
Mary laughed merrily, and said:
why, John, surely you're not
ashamed to have me read a love let
ter from my own husband What
foolishness Certainly you don't care
if l read my own mash notes do you,
dearest?"
AS she stood there, the letter held
firmly in her hand, the heavy,
scrawled address beaming down into
Johns eyes, all the agony of the
feeting moments that had come and
gone since he had written it and
over him. He saw again the scene
of himself standing in a hallway
waiting to see a woman whom he had
no right to see, and he felt again the
pang of remorse, the singing, cut
ting conscience stroke that had come
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
of happiness from such
a ridiculous situation as he had
builded so falsely on his trip to New
York, and he covered and almost
sobbed as he looked upon his own
dear wife who stood now above him,
looking down upon him with the
same feeling of love and pity which
a young bride casts upon her EN-
barrassed lover
Mary" he began anew, 81 want
