Large Abdomen

Large ADuOmen
 Mrs. J. +. asks: Will you please give some information in your columns to women who have large abdomens such as I have? l have five children and do lot of manual work but would appreciate any help to bring my shape back to something like it should be. I was neglected at the time my last baby was born and my stomach has never come back to normal and is quite soft and flabby. I am sure quite few of us country women would like to know if anything can be done for this condition. If there are any spe- cial appliances that would help, please let us know. like to appear at my best at all times."
 Answer-Preventive treatment is much more effective and important than is corrective treatment. The curative treatment for the condition presented is, first, the use of a properly fitted elastic girdle which comes well down over the hips. Such a girdle can be secured at most reputable surgical sup ply houses or a corsetier. If this gir- dle treatment is not effective, surgi- cal corset should be worn. This is more effective when the muscles of the abdominal wall are more widely sepa- rated. Such a corset can only be fit ted by a competent corsetier.
 The more grave cases, in which corset is not effective, require a minor operation under local anesthesia to. bring together these muscles. The cause of this condition usually is ire quent collaborating with poor prenatal care, or none at all, coupled with early hard work soon after childbirth and lack of proper medical supervision dur ing the first twelve months following childbirth. Collaborating with less than

The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-11-09

two-year intervals and lack of exercise of the abdominal wall muscles predis- pose to it.
 Collaborating women, soon after childbirth, should follow routine of table exercises night and morning; that is, exercise in which the mother lies on her back on a table or floor and raises the feet slowly toward the ceiling and then slowly allows them to fall to the ground. This should be alternated with another exercises in which the trunk is brought from a horizontal to a vertical position and slowly dropped back.
 The same result is effective by throw ing a medicine ball, we'll known in gymnasiums but not seen in physicians offices. This medicine ball throwing is best done by two persons facing each other in sitting position on the floor the one catching the ball falls slowly backward to the floor and, as she again assumes the erect position, throws the ball to her opponent, who falls slowly to the floor, in turn comes to a verti. cal position and throws the ball.
 The above exercises are helpful whenever there is need to strengthen the muscles of the abdomen. It is plain that the girl who, before marriage, de- velops strong muscles by sports as well as house work, will be less liable to develop a large flabby abdomen. (End Installueut)

 SAVE YOUR HEARING!
 There was time when a running ear" was looked on as rather an ordi- nary incident in the life of the grow ing child, or even of the adult. Today it is realized that not only running ear, but even rather slight acute in factions in the middle ear may be the starting point for a gradually prog ressive condition that leads to deafness
 Dr. Charles w. Richardson warns particularly against the acute middle ear infection (so-called "catarrh') charactized by slight fitness in the ears stuffiness, and undue resonance of ring. ing of the voice. No perceptible diff ficulty in hearing may be evident at the start. But one such attack may be the cause of permanent damage and several will almost certainly lead to serious impairment.
 The new born baby should be promptly examined by the physician to make certain that it. nose, throat and ears are in proper condition Mothers should be instructed as to the proper methods of taking care of the nose and ears so that fluids will not be put into. the former under pressure employed in cleaning the external to the ear.
 Should an infection occur within the ear, manifested usually by sharp pain, high fever, and the other serious symptoms that are noted by the physi- can, relief may open up the ear drum promptly, releasing the fluid that is under pressure.
 An acute infection of the ear, promptly and correctly treated, is not an exceedingly serious matter. The attention usually results in immediate relief and the patient is willing to dis pense with the care of his physician. But it is desirable that matters be watched attentively until the ear has been completely restored to normal.
 Infection of the ear frequently comes from infections of the nose and throat. For this reason it seems easy to believe that the number of infections of the ear will be less in the future because of the current tendency to remove infected tonsils and adenoids.

Mrs. William Crozier, who collected a wealth of beautiful fabrics on her re- cent prolonged visit to the Orient, is making practical use of two superb Chinese shawls of deep rich embroidery which she has had fashioned into a dinner gown that is the envy of even her best friends. The shawls are very large, allowing one to trail in the back while the other lends itself to a grace full side drapery with the deep fringe falling to the ground. General and Mrs. Crozier have leased their Massa- chusetts avenue home for the winter, but will keep an apartment at a local hotel during the greater part of the season.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
 COIitiS

R. F. II. says: Will you kindly let me know the approximate dura- tion of colitis? My doctor informs me that l have been cured of an ulcer of the duodenum and that my trouble is at present caused from colitis and ner- vousness brought in by the combined troubles. I have x-ray pictures and analyses for acidosis, so that feel that I have done justice to myself and to my doctor. Could you please give me a brief outline of the possibilities for a complete cure? Would the outcome of this trouble be cancer?"
 Answer-The duration of colitis is indefinite, this condition of bowel ir. ritability being especially characterized by improvements and relapses. Often when the patient consider himself cured he gets rough reminder that all is not yet well. Nevertheless, complete

And yet, we won. der, just when will .fictionists put or their overalls and go after it? The old order, the romances-these have been done countless times. The current IF months sees at least three novels ot the ype4-Hergesheimer's "Balisand,
 Mary Johnston's ''The Slave Shit," and Sabatini's "The Carolinian." But what we have in mind, and what we think Miss Gale meant, is something nearer at hand, romances which deal with the present, which find their metll in the economic, religious and social aspects of our contemporary life; novels which instead of presenting the glamor of a two hundre year past try to find some thing glamorous in the position of the tenant farmer, in the life of the laborer in our industrial communities, in the crimes perpetrated against intelligence and sanity by religious fanatics.

will rise up to deny the charge. Who

Just as we go to press we have had placed in our hands a new Gonzales volume issued by the State Company. ''The Captain: Stories of the Black Border" is this last offering of the man who has made the Gullah negro both known and intelligible. We want to speak more fully of the. book after a complete reading; as yet we have had time to do no more than read the introduction of the central character, The Captain, a most delightful figure of the Old South, and his account of the Gullah reaver who. just naturally couldn't resist, stealing shoes. Our guess is that Mir. Gonzales, has here volume less restricted to the field of folk lore than his other books and more likely to appeal to, all readers be- cause of the picture of the departing plantation life which it affords.
 The annual meeting of the Poetry Society of Virginia is to be held the twenty-fifth of this month. We have heard rumors of a great orgy of poetry with numerous lions present, Caroline Giltinan, William Alexander Percy, Lizette Woodworth Reese, and Isabel Fiske Conant being some of the chief figures.
 Mention of the name of Isabel Co nant reminds us that it is time we said something about her Frontier" just off the Mosher Press. Here is verse of an exquisite sensitiveness per fectly bound. and printed, one of the few occasions when poet finds the publisher she deserves. MT. COnant is one The Lantern is proud to number among its friends rejoicing, too, to find here included in book form poem first printed in this column-"Angler." ,"
 In the "Sun" of Mencken's home town the Baltimore bad boy" had been holding forth against the state of let ters in the South in general and Geor- gia in particular. He cites six writers of merit, four of whom he points out, have left the state for one reason or another. John Donald Wade and Francis Newman he eulogizes; also "Stallings, Woodward, Walter F. White," and, above all, Howard w. Odum whom he commends as editor of 'The Journal of Social Forces" and a leader in thought even though he be "double-barreled Ph.D."
 One of the most sensible memorial movements which we have seen under way for some time is that planned by Asheville citizens for o. Henry Mem orial Library in the city of o. Henry's death.

All The Way Through

We know that, to judge from the experience. of some writers, this IS an invitation for authors to commit social suicide. We can think of several cases of men who have tried it-and then moved to New York or its environs. But Zona Gale was, nevertheless, right and some day we shall see the rich vein of natural deposit tapped; already we think we see the first shovelsful thrown up on the sward.
 W. E. Woodward is a man we should like to see turn his attention to the south. Since "Babbitt" we have seen nothing to compare with his Lottery" (Harpers) as satire on the American man of business, his foibles, conceits, and absurdities. But Lewis's manner is unlike Woodward's, where Lewis uses a broad sword and guffaw, Woodward pierces with rapier and makes one smart with smile. Jerry Ferguson is Woodward's Babbitt, Babbitt who always lands on his feet in every care less venture and then takes credit for all the luck that the lottery of lift has brought him. He is the American wor- shipping success-and getting it If Woodward shows any weakness, we are inclined to think it is in the rather long drawn out hundred pages towards the end though the climactic scene in which Jerry purchases his way into the select society of Riverside through finding q

bogus landmark, the "Ear1est house built in the town, and presenting it to the civic organizations of the city, is q supremely det estimate of what pop ularity goes by the name of society and one we should not care to do. with out.
 Mir. Woodward, a native Georgian, is a new saterist on the horizon. Subtle, genuine, smiling he is such writer as we could wish to see eave his River side" of Lottery" and show us some of our own foibles. After all what writer of satire has turned his attention to the south? Don't we deserve at least one? ?
 Those who have been anxious to read Judge Lynch," the one-act play by John William Rogers, which won for the Dallas Little theater the David Belasco cup last year, will be glad to- know that the first issue of the Southwest Re- view" carries it in full. It is starkly vivid setting forth of the evils of lynch law, acting, we suspect, even more sue cessfully than it reads.
 "Sunclouds" is the latest offering of Dodd, Mead and Company to>the many Octayus Roy Cohen fans. The volume continues the Cohen traditions and characters; here again are the old at. fractions, Glorian Slappey,r, Lawyer Chew, Acey Upshaw, and Zinnia Sand CTS. The city negro is here in all the trappings and regalia, trickery and humor, which have made the Cohen for mula famous. Aunt Lavinia, who paid us visit again this week, saw our. copy on the reading table and repri- >manded us for finding any enjoyment in the book: How any one can gear to see the negro center of entertaining fic- tion and treated so indulgently is more than I can understand" was her die tum.
 MD. T., who says that she has stud. jed negroes in North and South Caro- lima, as well as Georgia, writes us that she has never heard the negro talk like MT. Cohen's characters. "He seems to understand the psychology of the negro-but from his dialect heaven de. fend us. Whoever heard of a southern darky saying I craves'? Then this ex- pression, I aims to make talk with you,,, is not what a negro would say; as for the expressions nothing else but and 'absotively,' they are slang, but not of negro origin" We quote
