Duodenal Ulcer Complex.

A smoothly working operator (he
calls himself SurgeOn) thinks no
more Of opening case of presumptiVe
duodenal ulcer than some men do Of
breaking out fresh can Of tobacco
for famished pipe. If, on opening
the supposititious ulcer fails to ma
terialiZe, the operator takes conSola-
tion in the thought that maybe COM
plete rest in hospital, low diet, and
the sanitary influence Of all the nurses
and doctors milling about during con-
valescence will relieve the patient con-
siderably.
The diagnosis Of peptic gastric
stomach) or duodenal ulcer became so
popular, among the operators, that
for time a patient who confessed to
pain, food, comfort and pain, in just
that order, was practically convicted
out Of court and entered on some oper-
ator's operable list.
Now for the special benefit Of our
readers who maye have the symptom
complex and also a pipe and some to-
bacco. I am pleased to offer today a
match. DR.. Irving Gray, Brooklyn,
presented before specialists section
at the recent American Medical Asso-
citation meeting study Of series OF

Of the symptom complex in these 81
cases of putative gastric or duodenal
ulcer, according to DR.. Gray's tabula-

The double Maltese stitch is begun

realize that every possible argument against the scheme has had a valid hearing. If the police board wants the system, and the charter revision ists are likewise faV orable, it seems that the Common Council will fall in line.
 New Britain highly appreciates the work of the older men on the police force; pensioning them is a good deal better than setting them adrift. as sometimes happens to men at that age-not nowadays so much as formerly. If We must have compulsory pensioning of the boys who have risked their lives for generations in keeping order in the city We at least will feel compensa- ted in the thought that the scheme is adopted as one Of equity and justice.

FALSE HOPES DASHED

Some time within the next five or six years,' ran a line in the story from Washington indicating when an addition will be built 10 the New Britain post office.
 And even then it isn't certain. Additions and new post offices are being crayed by communities throughout the entire United States. Some cities much larger than New Britain are being disappointed" by not getting their needs "instanter.'
 Boston, with q dinky main post office which was entirely adequate to the city's needs in the eighties, has been informed it cannot get q new building this year. The noble art of procrastination is well developed in Washington. An administration that practices economy" at least in theory, cannot be expected to con- struct all the new post offices and additions desired. Give it time; let it wait, at least, until there is less en- phasis upon being economical.
 The federal budget bureau is making up list of the new buildings and additions to be constructed this year. It no doubt will be found that only one out of ten of the cities which expected instant action will be satisfied.
 By making up q tentative list in- cluding everything. and then pairing it down to the bone, the federal authorities arouse false hopes and then dash them to the ground. From the first We did not take the appro- priation, so called, for New Britain seriously. The only kind of postal appropriation that counts is one actually made; the only kind of post office addition that makes a noise like the real thing is one under con- struction. For that-''five or six years," perhaps longer.

COMPULSORY RETIREMENT
 OF POLICEMEN

Settling upon an age-limit for re- tirement of policemen on half-pay pensions still remains a matter of discussion, although something may be done about it within very short time.
 Compulsory retirement at the age of 70 has ben recommended by the police board to the charter rcvisions committee. Finally the Common Council will have 10 pass upon whatever recommendation is made by the charter revisers The time to do this is at hand: the Icgisla- ture is in session and a blanket bill to amend the New Britain charter i, before that body.
 In this way the city is given some lecway 10 decide upon what amendments 10 offer after the time has expired for the presentation Of bills; the blanket bill can be amend cd, etc. within any reasonable time after the time for ring bills. This explains why the city charter rcv,sonists can still be working upon what particular points 10 ro- wise after the date for entry of bills has expired.
 It begins to look as if the com pulsory retirement feature will finally win by being made part of the charter. As is we'll known. the older members of the force and some others are opposed 10 tho plan. lot desiring to be pensionod on half pGy at 70. Their desire to continue being of use to the police dcpart- ment after that age is a noble trait aad should be thoroughly approcmt- el by the officials, as undoubtedly is the case The business Of polic- ing a city nowadays includes so m ny details which formerly were lot part of the business that the men feel a policeman at 70 years of age can easily be utilized in some feature of this work; and perhaps they are right. Tine police board, however, is of the opinion that, as q general principle, retirement age at 70 would be proper in most cases.

New Giant Locomotive
 To Haul 2Oth Century

Schnectady. N. Y., Feb. 15 CP- The new Hudson type of locomotive was christened and put into service by the New York Central railroad at the shops of the American Loco- motive company here yesterday. The new locomotive which is capable of travelling from 90 to 120 miles an hour, will be used to haul the Twen- tieth Century and other fast trains on the New York Central lines. It is expected that the engine will be able to handle longer trains at scheduled speed and thus reduce the number of sections now run.
 Number 5200 is the official desig- nation of the locomotive which is SS feet long and weighs 552, 1000 pounds. It's six driving wheels are 79 inches in diameter.
