rrnRorD JUNIORS AND FASTING

F1BROID TUMORS AMI
We do not know yet just what Is
the cause of a small group of cells
or a single cell locating In n place,
and beginning a mysterious swelling
called a tumor, which grows where
no growth was before. A tumor has
no work to do in the body. It does
not digest food for other tissues, as
the stomach does, nor does 1t elm
mate waste like the lungs, kidneys
and bowels.
There are two kinds of tumors, the
malignant kind, such as cancer, and
the non-malignant. of which fatty
and fibroid tumorS are two examples.
The big difference between a cancer
and malignant growth is that the
cancer destroys the tissues around 1t
and may be said to eat into 1t,
whereas a non-malignant tumor does
not destroy nearby tissue, but SIM
ply pushes it out of the way. It may
affect such adjacent tissues by press
ing on them, and may cause pain by
pressing on nerves.
Ffbroid and fatty tumors do not
usually seriously threaten the life of
the patient. In fact, these tumors
may exist for years and cause no dis
comfort at all, especially If they are
small and do not interfere with any
important nerves or blood vessels.
These tumors differ from cancerous
ones because they do not grow again
after being removed as a cancerous
tumor may. Each non-malignant
growth, II several are present, forms
it's own starting point, while, when
several cancerous growths are found,
it is likely they all started from q
parent growth.
Fibroid tumors are frequently found
on the uterus. The size may vary
from that of a pea or may increase
! until they weigh as much as thirty
five pounds. These enormous tumorS
may, Of course, cause a good deal of
trouble, both from pressure and from
the heart being strained from the
! blocking of the blood circulation.
It is generally impossible for a pa
tient to know whether she has q non
malignant fibroid tumor by any ex-
animation she car make, herself, un-
til the tumOr has grown to consider
| able size. If she is examined by a
physician and told she has a fibroid
tumor Of the uterus she will prob
ably also be told that an operation
for the removal Of the organ is
necessary. However, I do not believe
that surgical measures are always
necessary or advisable in the treat
ment Of fibroid tumors. There are
several factors which must be con-
! sidered in understanding the possible
cure without surgery. In the first
place, the immediate cause of these
growths seems to be a chronic con
| gestion. In many cases I have found
that a long fast will absorb these en-
larged and toughened growths, when
the fasting regime is accompanied by
exercises of the abdominal muscles
hot sitz baths and hot douches to
bring about a greater blood supply
through the affected region. It is
necessary to continue on the fast Of
fruit juice for several weeks until the
body has been reduced greatly In

Cooks and Cookery

Although America has produced many dishes which
rank with the worlds culinary masterpieces, 1t some
how is unable to produce cooks who can prepare them
properly. This is the complaint of Ralph Hitz. managing
director of the New Yorker hotel, who regrets the fact
that the nation has to look to Europe for its best chefs.
1t is too bad about the cooks but what interests us
Is the list of American dishes which Mr.. Hitz calls our
greatest gastronomic contributions. The list includes
pumpkin pie, ice cream, griddle cakes, corn bread. Creole
chicken, Boston baked beans, ham and eggs, the modern
sandwich, American hash, and doughnuts.
That is a good list; and it is consolng to reflect that
some of its items, at least, are virtually cook proof.
Even a rotten cook can hardly spoil ham and eggs. 1t
takes an unusually bad one to turn out an unpalatablc
pumpkin pie. And hash is bound to be good If the cook
is no worse than mediocre.
Still, the other numbers need skill. Think of the crimes
that have been committed by poor cooks in the concoc-
ton of leathery griddle cakes, soggy ~doughnuts and pale.
half cooked corn bread.
Most Americans are familiar with both the good and
the bad varieties.
Time was when practically everyone, except those lW-
ing in the largest cities, ate most of their meals at home
Now, however, in even the smaller cities a surprisingly
large number of persons eat at hotels and restaurants
This is true of people who could eat at home but who
for one reason or another. prefer to "eat out"
And they are surprisingly well served. Bismarck, fol
example, has a number of excellent eating houses where
good food, well cooked, and well served, is the rule.
Even when the restaurateur reaches his peak, how.
ever, few will concede that his efforts are quite as salts

we remember best usually are those experienced by OM

unless under the care of a doctor who
understands this method. Patients
write to me saying they have had
good results by taking short fasts at
intervals of about a month apart and
using the hot applications. This is
probably the best plan if you cannot
be under the care of a fasting ex-
pert.
Always when fasting it is a good
plan to have daily treatments with a
therapeutic light over the entire alb
domen in addition to the hot Sitz
baths. Diathermy treatments are al
so helpful. This will increase the
circulation and help carry away the
accumulated material which has been
deposited. After the fast it is ad-
visable to take a large amount Of
physical exercise in order to keep the
blood flowing through the affected
parts at a natural rate.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Not Enough Acid


Question: Mrs. F. j. asks: what
can be done for a stomach which has
no acid?"
Answer: The fruit fast is a great
help in restoring the stomach to its
normal tone so that it can agar.
secrete gastric juice containing the
normal amount of hydrochloric acid.
Home Brew
Question: S. j. asks: "Will yoL.
please answer in the column just how
injurious home brew is? My husband
says it is all right and drinks about
three quarts each night, and has been
doing this for five years. He says ii
would have affected him before now
If it were yer going to-"
Answer: Some people can stand
more than others, but I am sure that
three quarts daily of any kind OF
beer will finally prove injurious to
anyone. Perhaps your husband pre-
fers living dangerously, but you'd
better be sure to keep his life insur-
ance premiums paid.
Dandruff
Question: j. M. writes: II would
like for you to print a remedy for
candruff. I wash my hair, and in
one week dandruff is all over my
scalp. I have been using I've soap, as
I have been told that it would cure
it,"
Answer: Do not use any strong
soap on your scalp, but wash your
hair daily for mi week and then
every other day for several weeks. 1t
is well then to continue shampooing
the hair at least two or three times
weekly. Use any plain soap but rinse
your hair well afterwards, rubbing a
little coconut or almond oil into the
scalp after you have dried your hair
with a towel as much as possible.

HOOVER RELATIVE
MAY WIN ELECTION
Mrs. Theodore Jesse Hoover
Seen as Having Good Chance
in Vice Presidential Race.

The advantages of having a member
of the White House family as nation
al officer in the society were advanced
by the supporters of Mrs. Theodore
Jesse Hoover as the delegates filed into
the basement of Memorial Continental
Hall this morning to select one of the
IL candidates for the eight places for
vice president general. Those in favor
of the election Of the Presidents sis
ter-in-law swept aside as unimportant
the contention that the election of Mrs
Hoover would give California two new
members of the national board, as the
election of Mrs. Lyman Stookey of Cali
fornia for the Office of reporter general
to the Smithsonian Institute is con-
coded.
Those in the know are inclined to
think that, even with. the hint OF
prejudice against two candidates from
one State, Mrs. Hoover has good
chance for election.
Mrs. Hoover is staying at the White
House and many of the delegates re-
gard as sign of presidential approval
of the candidacy of his sister-in-law
the fact that President Hoover left his
duties in the executive Office yesterday
afternoon to personally receive and
shake hands with each of the 37o0
members of the congress who received
cards to the White House. Mrs. Her
bert Hoover is i'll and did not come
downstairs, and Mrs. Theodore Hoover
took her place with the other State
regents and candidates in line, al
though she moved about after she haG
been received by the President. Last
year President and Mrs. Hoover shook
hands only with the officers of the So
ciety and addressed the rest of the dele
gates from the south portico.
The importance of exercising their
right to cast their votes for their ia
vorite candidates brought the majority
of the voters of the congress down 10
the hall at an early hour, and long be-
fore the polls were open in the base
ment of Memorial Continental Hal
a long line of women we're waiting.
The chairman of tellers, Miss Kath-
crime Nettleton, and her assistants d.
rected the casting of the ballots, while
the representatives of each of the
eleven candidates for the eight places
for vice president general and the two
candidates for the one place Of honor
airy vice president general were on duty
as election watchers. Each candidate
has the privilege of appointing tellers
to aid in counting the votes.
