the intensive speaking drive with
which he will climax his campaign.

selected in which to close his drive

Genuine Nobility

\Om0na WOflQ-HefalQ)
The prince of Wales shook hands with a
waiter and the cables buzzed with the news OF
how he had thus demonstrated "his democ-
racy." And not only democracy, but good
sense and good breeding which achieves it's
highest purpose in such conduct as will not un-
necessarily hurt fellow creature.
According to the story, the prince was en-
gagged in general handshaking at dinner,
when one man drew back with the embarrassed
explanation, Pardon me, your royal highness,
but am one of the walters" And the prince
reply was what of that"
This incident leads to the surmise that per-
haps a great deal of what is assumed to be
snobbery on the part of the great and the near
great is not snobbery at all but an air created
by the sycophancy Of lesser folk who assume
there is superiority where none is claimed.
1t is not at all likely that Wales and the
waiter would make very congenial companions.
Their ways are naturally different ways and
their tastes are probably widely at variance,
but when it comes to public handshaking the
prince very properly assumes the attitude that
the hand which places his food before him is
in every way as respectable and worthy as the
hand of brother duke.

Editorial Comment
Voyage Of Discovery

\Om0n8 WOTlQ.HeralO)
Wilbur Glenn Voliva is embarked upon a
charming journey-to find the edge of the flat
world and travel around it's rim-but he is not
making the trip inclusive enough.
While he is about it he really should investi.
gate the old belief that pot of gold lies buried
at the foot of the rainbow. He should discover
where the wind comes from. Perhaps he could
establish whether or not the moon is made oi
green cheese and in doing that learn how far
is up.
It requires almost as much courage and con-
viction for Mr.. Voliva, who lives in an age
when everyone else believes the world to be
round, to start trip to prove it is flat, as was
required of one Christopher Columbus, few
centuries back, living in day when everyone
believed the world to be flat. to launch jour
ney to demonstrate its roundness.
On second thought Columbus took the great
err risk. If he were wrong he knew he would
simply sail his ship off into space and plunge
into vacuum. If Mr. Voliva is wrong, he will
simply, in course of time, get back home again.
Besides, one suspects Mr.. Voliva carries his
vacuum with him.

VOMITING AND BELcHlNG

VOMITING AND BELCHlNG
In addition to the painful symp-
toms of stomach disorders which
l have been explaining to you in
the last two articles, there are many
other conditions which are diagnos-
tic Of digestive disorders. I will
briefly discuss some Of them.
Vomiting
IL vomiting is due to a disorder
Of the stomach. itself it is usually
because Of stomach ulcers, and in
most cases particles Of blood will be
found in the vomitus. This may
be either bright red or if there
has been slow trickling Of blood
into the stomach contents, the blood
may look like coffee grounds. This
may be due to stomach ulcer or to
cancer of the stomach. At least an
equal number of cases of vomiting
are due to some trouble other than
what may be strictly called stom-
ach trouble.
When gallstones are trying to
pass through the bile ducts - will
often cause violent vomiting. The
pains usually appear in the pit Of
the stomach and are often thought
to be due to trouble in the stom-
ach itself. Kidney stones may
cause exactly the same desire to
vomit when these stones try to pass
down the ureter into the bladder.
Expectant mothers are often
bothered by vomiting which is due
to the reflex action from the en-
largement Of the womb pressing up
on the ovaries. If the vomiting &C.
ours directly after the meal it may
be due to any of the causes ! have
cited. If the vomitus has bitter
taste it is more of an indication that
it is due to a disorder of the liver.
When an excess amount Of bile is
poured out into the intestines it
often floods back into the stom.
ach and causes q nauseous feeling
and when this is vomited up it is
always bitter.
Vomiting all Of the stomach con-
tents will usually relieve any dis
order which is in the stomach itself
whereas if the trouble is reflex
one, coming from gallstones, kid
ney stones, or ovarian pressure, the
vomiting will not completely re-
lteve the nausea.
If patient frequently vomits up
watery fluid shortly after his
meals, it is an indication that he
has used too much liquid at the
meal or that he has overeaten. Of
course, such vomiting is simply
caused by an overloaded stomach,
full of bad mixtures of food, with
alcoholic drinks and sweet desserts.
The stomach finds it simply impos-
sible to digest such a mass of in
harmonious conglomerations, and
saves the patients life by going
through enough commissions until
the bad mixture is vomited up.
Belching
Belching of gas from the stom-
ach is usually due to the use of too
large a quantity of food, although
some people develop a habit Of
belching, and alternately swallow
and bring up air in an effort to re-
The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1928-03-08

whenever they do overeat and have
the stuffed" feeling from a large
meal they learn the practice OF
swallowing air to further fill the
stomach so that the extra amount
of air and gas will force open the
stomach's opening at the esophagus
and they then belch up quantity Of
combined gas and air. This be-
comes habit, and is hard to over
come.
The cure is to stop the "stuffing"
habit, and to learn control over the
acquired practice of swallowing air.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Question: A. D. asks: "Will you
kindly tell me what is chronic in
terstitial nephritis? Is it danger
Gus, and should enc diet for it? /
always read your answers in your
health column and they have helped
me. / am 81 years old"
Answer: Chronic interstitial
nephritis is a disease both of the
kidneys and due to faulty metabol-
ism. It must be considered a dam
gerous disorder, although many
people live for a long time before
the disease develops into fatal
form. In it's early stages it is cur
able through diet, exercise and the
use of other hygienic measures.
Question: C. E.. s. asks: care
raw egg poisonous? Is it true that
raw eggs always pass through the
stomach without being digested?
Do you advise raw eggs and sherry
as a remedy for gastric trouble ?"
Answer: There is nothing poison
Gus about fresh raw egg, but raw
eggs are not as easily digested as
those slightly cooked. The diges-
ton of either a raw or cooked egg
begins in the stomach and is COM
pleted in the small intcstines. l
never advise the use of raw eggs
except in some cases of ulcer of
the stomach, when only the whites
of the egg should be used. There
is no scientific reason for mixing
raw eggs with sherry and taking
the mixture for gastric trouble, and
/ have not found where patients
received any particular benefits
from using this.
Question: Mrs. N. +. writes:
"Have fatty tumor over the right
shoulder about the size of a plum.
What would you recommend to get
rid Of it,"
Answer: Such fatty tumors can
be easily removed by surgeon. 1
would advise you to have this done
before it enlarges SO much as to
make undue pressure upon some
nerve center.

as demanded by wisdom. One thing
is sure. Not one Of the trio is nurs-
ing any vice presidential ambitions.
Over on the Republican side, it's
still fight between the Hoover
politicians and the anti-Hoover poll
ticians. The principal change is
that the opposition to Hoover has
solicited, as evidenced by the de-
cision Of Willis, Curtis, Watson,
Lowden and Dawes supporters to
pool their resources in an attempt to
beat him with Wills in Ohio. For a
while it almost looked as if Hoover
might get the nomination by default.
Now, if Hoover wins convincingly
in Ohio he will have done so only
after beating the pack.
Dawes continues to be regarded
as Hoover's main peril, but there is
less and less disposition to count
Mr.. Coolidge out Of the picture.
Despite the fight over Hoover,
the Republican party presents Sc
rene spectacle Of harmonious
thought as compared with the Dem
ocratic party. Anyone can join the
Hoover army and anyone the anti

A 2.10Q.blile Memorial

Sam Hill, president Of the Pacific Highway
Association, wants to lay out memorial gar
den 2,100 miles long, fringing the entire
length of the Pacific Highway from the Mexi-
can border to the Canadian line.
It is his plan to have space in this tremen-
dous garden for memorials of all kinds-to
states, individuals, causes and ideals. Up and
down the west coast road, trees and flowers
would grow as perpetual, evergreen monu-
ments.
This is a new idea, and good one. Why not
expand it to other highways as well? Trees
and flowers certainly would look better than
the present system of gaudy billboards that
line most of our main trunk roads.
