learn a lot about tho individual case.
Time and space will not permit
any extensive discussion Of the diff.
fsrent types Of stomach ulcers. You
may imagine q small ulcer to be
similar to q canker sore in the
mouth. The acute type is small,
with clean cut edges. as If it had
been punched out OF the tissues.
The chronic ulcer Is larger, irregu-
lar in shape, and in a sense like a
burn OF the skin. Whether 1t Is
serious or not depends on how deeply
1t reaches down into the wall of
the stomach. In the dangerous case
II continues to burrow until it eats
Its way through the wall, resulting
In actual perforation.
The symptoms produced by ulcer
OF the stomach depend on the type
and extent Of the liberation. Indi.
gestion or dyspepsia is the first sign.
In q severe case there may be sick
ness al the stomach and vomiting.
If the liberation is deep enough
TO involve the blood vessels there
will be bleeding. The vomited ma
terial may be stained with blood.
In some cases quantities Of blood
may be expelled.
There Is pain and this Is a marked
symptom Of the disease. The pain
may be burning Or gnawing In it's
nature. It Is worse when the stom-
ach Is empty. The victim learns
very quickly that taking food stops
the pain.
There Is tenderness on pressure.
Effort is made to loosen the cloth

Most persons who have ulcer be-
gin to lose weight. Pretty soon they
are very thin. very thin.
Let me say at once that large
numbers Of ulcers heal Of their own

Tucks Adorn the Latest Sports Frocks
Clever Workmanship and
Many Tucks Make Sports
Frocks More Elaborate.

10y ux<1xexC MANU-
ONE are the days Of the
r dowdy sports frock! Now
~ adays more thought and
careful workmanship IL put into
the development Of this particu-
lar field Of fashion than in any
other. and the result is more
than satisfying. to say nothing
Of the charm.
Pastel shades in very light
fabrics seem to b the mode for
the season, and the result is that
sports frocks have taken unto
themselves a chic that is unde-
niable.
Pictured here are two very
clever, charming frocks show
ing how tucks are utilized to the
best advantage.
At the left the graduated
pleats on the skirt give a mod
ernistic touch indicative Of
cleverness and thought. This
particular model is developed in
a very light gray silk, with in
crustations Of black and medium
gray. With q hat matching the
colors and modernistic in its
trend, the costume is complete.
At right tucks are used hori-
z~ontally to make a most effec-
tive blouse, dependent solely on
their symmetry for its chic. The
skirt is pleated in conformation
with the tucks, that is, Of an
equal width. This is in yellow
crepe de Chine with white scarf
and belt, showing the fob treat
nent.
Of course, If you are short
and inclined to plumpness, such
a frock as the latter should BE-
Stunned, for it would but &C.
centuate your figure. However,
a tall slender woman can carry
such q frock admirably. The
frock at the left is equally be-
coming to all types.
Tucks forming square all over
the material are quite popular
combined with plain material.

Modistes and beauty experts long have cried
for properly proportional bodies. The average
girl, however, diets and exercises until her figure
is so thin it is lacking in curves. But there is a
vast difference between curves and a bulging
waistline that prevents ones frock from hanging
nicely. thus spelling the appearance Of even the
loveliest creation. Today I have an exercise for
you that will rid the upper hips. w~aistlins and
abdomen of superfluous flesh.
Stand erect with the heels about four inches
apart, toes pointing straight ahead. The hands
should be placed lightly on the hips. Holding
the knees rigid, allow the upper part of the body
to slump forward. In the same relaxed manner
twist the body as far to the left as possible,
then backward, then to the right. When you
have completed this movement you will find that

1t is really remarkable that our poor abused
stomachs do not rebel more frequently than
they do. We put into them almost everything
except the kitchen stove. But, in spite Of all
mistreatment, digestion goes on, and relatively
few persons suffer from serious stomach dis
ease.
This organ is shaped like a pear, with the
small end to the right. The large part is entered
through the gullet and, after the food is pre-
PEELED through the "pyloric valve" into the small
intestine.
The part of the intestine which immediately
joins the stomach is called the "duodenum." It
Is at this narrow part Of the passageway that
