After Gall Bladder Removal.


Mr.. S. wants the following questions
answered:
/. What is the purpose of the gall
bladder?
Simply as a storage for the
bile or gall.
2. If the gall bladder becomes in
fected, is it possible to cure 1t without
removing It?
Answer-It would depend upon the
character and degree of the infection.
Undoubtedly a mild infection will re-
spond to correct medication and dietary
treatment.
8. Is the removal of the gall bladder
much of an operation?
Answer-It is what is known as a
major operation.
4. Does it shorten the span of life
to have the gall bladder removed?
Answer-If 1t is necessary to have 1t
removed, the operation will lengthen,
rather than shorten, the span OF life.
Its function is apparently not abso-
S. If the gall bladder were removed
would I have to continue on a special
diet indefinitely?
Answer-I think not. You would
have a balanced diet and pay more par
ticular attention, naturally, to not be
indiScreet in your dietary habits.
6. Would it be possible for me to
railroad without the gall bladder?
Answer-Yes. There are many peo-
pie who are continuing with their active
work minus that organ, just as they
do minus the appendix or tonsils.
Z. If the gall bladder were taken out,
do you think would be troubled with
the gas so badly and heart attacks, II
l were careful of what I ate?
Answer-If the infected gall blades
is the cause of your symptoms, these
should cease after it is removed. CThe
appendix is blamed for lot of symp-

MILADY BEAUTIFUL
BY LOIS LEEDS.

I Use water of a medium warmness
When washing dishes keep the hands
! out of the water as much as possible;
wear rubber gloves and use a spray or
mop Second, avoid using harsh,
strongly alkaline soaps for cleansing the
hands. A slight degree OF alkal1nity is
necessary in a soap, but an excess is
| harmful to the skin. Pure CASTLE is
one Of the mildest soaps, and may be
used without hesitation on face or
hands.
The third point in the care of the
hands is the regular use Of skin To-
ton or jelly after they have been
washed, thoroughly rinsed and dried.
The right sort of lotion keeps the skin
smooth and pliable without making it
sticky or oily.
The fourth point is the nightly
cleansing of the arms and hands with
o cleansing cream. Massage the
/ cream in well and then wipe it off
carefully. Repeat the dreaming and
wiping again. then spread on food
cream. Wear old gloves overnight to
keep the cream from rubbing off on
the bed clothing. When cleansing the
elbows with cream mix little pow
dered pumice stone with it if the skin
is rough and much discolored, or rub
wi 4 lemon juice. Wipe off the cleans
ing agent and apply your food cream,
which may be lanoline, coco butter or
good commercial preparation.
In the morning the hands and arms
should be rinsed in warm water and
dried well. A liquid face powder may
be patted on and spread around quickly
with the fingers. The dark shades of
powder are popular just now on account
of the vogue for sun-tan1ed skin. Dust
dry powder on last.

My customers often ask me why Bond Bread
is always fresf1-as if just baked.
Unjust give the credit to the Bond Bread
salesman.
In the morning he brings in a certain
number of loaves. He knows from watching
my sales just about how many Bond will
sell before he comes in again. Then in the
afternoon he brings another lot-just
enough to carry me over. When he comes
the next morning there usually isn't a loaf
on the counter.
I am able in this way to assure my Gus
toners that the Bond Bread in my store has
come fresh from the oven. My customers
know that Bond is delivered here regularly,
and many of them do their shopping at an
hour that brings them here just after the

rush, as long as my customers get what they
