Gall Stone
Operations
BY JAMES w. BARTON, NJ. d.

BY JAMES w. BARTON, NJ. ID.
TT SEEMS like common sense when
the symptoms of an ailment be-
come pronounced that, instead OF
having the patient undergo months
OF pain and distress. operation to re-
move the cause be undergone. I am
referring to Inflammation and stone
formation in the gall bladder.
However, some of our research ply
sicians and also surgeons are care
fully investigating the results OF these
operations. As a certain proportion
have the pain and distress return some
months or years after operation, they
are trying to work out method that
will give comfort to patients whose
symptoms are not too severe and
operate only on those where the
symptoms are very severe and the
x-ray tests and pictures definitely
show that serious condition exists.
DR.. E. A. Graham, who has done
much research work on the gall blad-
der. and DR.. w. A. Mackey, in the
journal of the American Medical As
sociation, call attention to unsatisfac-
tory results from operation where the
X-ray findings show very little change
in the gall bladder. Their opinion
and that of many other outstanding
physicians and surgeons is that opera
tions on the gall bladder that does
not contain stones are not as satisfac-
tory as In those cases where gall stones
are present.
The important symptom to con-
Bider In gall bladder ailments is pain,
not simply the dull pain in the upper
part Of the right side of the abdomen,
but that severe "colic" which pro-
duces such terrible suffering. In the
opinion Of Drs. Graham and Mackey.
If this very severe pain does not exist
and there are no stones present, the
results of operation are likely to be
unsatisfactory in about 40 per cent
of the cases. Not only does the dull
pain fail to disappear. but the great
amount of gas in stomach and abdo-
men is likely to remain even after
operation of the 40 per cent above
noted. ...
The point here is that other con-
ditions-nervousness emotional strain,
2 chronic appendix, constipation
may be causing the symptoms, the
gall bladder being a small factor only,
" any.
The thought then is that careful
examination for other conditions,
using diet not too rich in starch
and fat foods. may relieve symptoms
and make operation unnecessary.
However. when there is severe pain,
the typical collie and X-ray shows
stones and slow emptying the gall
eladder should be removed.

Dorothy Dix Says
The Housewife Doesn't Need to Budget
Her Time, She Needs to Spend
It With Imagination.

A WITTY English writer recently
"A declared that even Cleopatra
could not have preserved the beauty
that age could not wither, nor the
charm that custom could not stale
If she had had to live in suburban
villa and do her own housework.
Eighteen months of monotonous
drudgery would have done her up.
This is only too true. And so the
woman whose life must necessarily
be narrow and her work repetitious
does not need to be pushed further
down into q rut, but to be encouraged
to climb out Of it.
One of the reasons why women
hate domestic work so much is be-
cause they make fetish of routine.
They feel that they must wash on
Monday, iron Tuesday, bake on We'd
nesday, no matter whether they are
sick or we'll: or whether on wash day
the Springtime called to them to for
get the clothes and 60 picnicking, or
whether on ironing day they woke
up Will AAlopA dtiOAl 4Ok AhohAAAo
over an old dress and an almost over
whelming urge toward the sewing
machine.
VET we all know that the work we
do when we are in the mood for
it Is a pleasure and not a pain. and
that We not only do better work when
we feel like it, but also twice as much
OF 1t. One Of the reasons, for in
stance, that dishwashing Is anathema
to women is because there is super
stition that it has to be done imme-
diately after you finish your meal,
when you are so replete with food you
never want to see greasy plate again.
But If women would wait to do the
breakfast dishes until after they had
read the paper and had lot Of thrill
ing things to think about and take
their minds of of their own troubles,
they would just take 1t in their stride,
without minding it at all.
There are certain things. Of course,
that every housewife has to do, and
she has to use her head as well as
her hands in planning her work.
Also, undoubtedly certain things must
be done at certain times, but think
she makes a great mistake If she
makes herself into nothing but an
automatic perpetual motion machine.
The more differently she does her
tasks, the less irksome they will be
to her. The more variety she intro
duces into domestic life the less dull
1t will be. The housewife doesn't need
to budget her time. She needs to
spend It with imagination.

"HE other day was reading an
article in which housewives
we're told how to budget their
L time so that no minute in the
day should be lost or fail of its ap-
pointed task.
According to this domestic scientist,
the busy wife and mother should leap
from her bed at GAS. Say her prayers
at $50. Take her bath at 7. Don
her bungalow apron at 7:05. Run the
comb through her bobbed hair at ITO.
Give the baby its bottle at tbs. Put
on the oatmeal at 7:20. Set the table
at 7::25. Find husbands clean shirt
and collar and handkerchief at 7:30.
Get the children up at 7:35. Wipe
Bobby's nose at TAO. Tie Mary's hair
ribbon at 7:45. Serve the family
breakfast at 7:50. Get husband to
work and children off to school at 8.
Interview the butcher and baker at
$40.
And so on and so forth even down
to an appointed is minutes for taking
nap and Is minutes more for read
ing an improving book, and If any
woman who religiously followed this
schedule wasn't raving mad and throw
ing teacups at the wall by the end OF
the day, goodness only knows why.
** **
NOV, no doubt most women do lack
order and system, and do fail to
improve each shining hour as they
should. Any efficiency expert could
show them how they could save a lot
of waste motion and get better results
from their labor, but even so, what
the housewife needs is not regimenta-
ton, but variety in her work. She
doesn't need to be made more of q
machine, but more Of a human being.
The trouble with housework is its
monotony. 1t is doing the same old
things every day. every week, every
year that gets on women's nerves.
Sweeping floors that have to be swept
over again in an hour. Picking up
papers and coats and hats that the
next member of the family will drop.
Cooking meals three times a day.
Scrubbing. washing. darning. Walking
the endless treadmill of daily duties
that seems to get nowhere, but that
must be performed to keep the house.
hold machinery functioning.
That's bad enough, but it would be
the final straw that would break the
female camers back If the domestic
woman had to do her work with q
time clock tied around her neck that
she had to punch on the dot, and that
kept her on a strain rushing to her
chores and worried to death for fear
she might commit the objectionable
sin of letting the baby's sun bath lap
over on the sacred hour for peeling the
potatoes.

sketched in a Washington Shop

This shoe also comes in white, rasp-
berry and green.
The three shoes that are sketched
above show smart styles that you will
be wanting to wear at the Easter sea-
son for many occasions. First let us
take the "runabout" for gadabouts.
This perforated sandal in your choice
of bucko, calf or seal, has so much In
It's favor that you will find it indls-
pensable. II has good looks with
recommended style points Of buckled
strap and wide tongue or shaped
center strap that is cut in one with
the vamp. eliminating pressure OF
heavy scanning on the inside. A
medium height, built-up walking heel
and perfect fit insure complete COM
fort.
This is the shoe that you can get in
any desired color to match your gay
accessories: there are IL color choices.
The shoe that I have here as I write,
is delightful green bucko with black
sole and heel, the perfect color con-
trast with the black or oxford gray
suit and green bag and gloves. If you
prefer 5-eyelet oxford you may have
the same general type and at the same
interesting price Of s8.75. and hand
bag to match.
ONE of the most frequently used
fabrics for dresSy shoes other
than leather is gabardine. This you
will see translated into charming
afternoon model in black with a wide
stitched strap of black kidskin with
silver buckle. A matching square Of
stitched kid with sunray stitching
trims the top of the vamp.
At the bottom Of the sketch is very
versatile model that has many moods
to suit your fancy. You may have it
with three types of heel-high square,
medium round, or low square, and toes
to correspond, and in black patent or
combinations of gabardine and leath-
er. The wide tab at the front may be
unbuttoned and reversed to show a
different color. This ingenious trick
enables you to match two frocks, or If
you wish you may buy extra tabs at
so cents pair to make still further
changes of accent.
Black patent with a gray tab and
silver buttons is ideal for the gray
crepe frock. Turn it other side around
and you have an all black shoe. A
gray gabardine shoe with a dubonnet
patent tab is very smart looking, and
there are endless combinations to be
made. This shoe has its own match
ing handbag also, with separate tab,
and the two make one of the most in
teresting and unusual accessory en-
sembles of the season.
The Little Bishop is described as
"monastic discipline with a wink" It
is one of those monks sandals that are
built up high in the front and cut out
at the sides like a sandal. The heels
are quite low and the colors soft neu-
trails or darks. These are admirable
to match a particular costume.
Stealing an idea from the moccasin
shoe is a combination of suede with a
round and very prominent tongue of
alligator in contrast color of light and
dark. "Mr. Dooley" Is a sport shoe
with square toe and heel, slashed
tongue tied down and using much
stitching and perforations. Naming
the shoe styles makes them easy to re-
member and affords many opportuni-
ties Of delightful presentation.

BY MARGARET WARNER.

- HOE fashions for Spring are
more exciting than they have
been for long time and that
- is saying lot, for shoes have
been taking all sorts Of liberties with
conventions for some time past. and
now they dare to venture still further
from traditional forms Of toes and
heels and take a fling at the color
chart besides.
We have become so accustomed to
square toes and heels that we now
accept them as definite part OF shoe
collections. but the three-cornered toe
and heel is the seasons latest acquisi-
tion and is as intriguingly different
as the ballet music of De Falla's
Three -cornered Hat" This shoe is a
compromise between broad round
toe and a square one, and uses three
points to accomplish its purpose. The
same effect is carried out on the me-
dium high heel The shoe follows the
lines of an opera pump, with an ODD
sort of f1eur -de-lis arrangement OF
leather pieces that are rolled back and
fastened down on the inside by way
of center front finish.
Another new feature in shoes that
causes you to look twice is walled
up vamp that suggests a Chinese IN
spiration. Instead of the vamp curv-
ing up over the top of the foot from
the sole, as we have always seen it do,
this new shoe shows vertical rise OF
about three quarters of an inch before
the shoe begins to curve. We are told
that these shoes are wonderfully COM
Portable, they have so much toe space,
and yet they are smartness itself.
!.
THEN for sheer glamour there is a
new golden evening slipper entire
ly hand-crocheted of stiffened fine
linen cord which has been dipped IN
gold solution mixed to finely-gauged
consistency of color and brilliance. 1t
is T-strsp open sandal classical type
shoe, except for its unusual fabric.

Y YITH the coming Of Summer.

w YITH the coming Of Summer.
\A/ when milk plays such an
wv important role in the hot
weather diet, 1t is good
news to learn that the milk supply
this year, according to the reports
received by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, will probably
be greater than last year. even though
the number of cows on the farms is
less. This expectation, of course, pre-
supposes average weather and crop
conditions. But with more and
cheaper feed for the cows than in the
early months Of last year it Is stated
that there should be, on the whole,
a higher yield of milk per cow. This
means that there will, or should be.
more butter and cheese. If the pre-
diction holds good, there will be de-
cided decrease In the now high prices
of dairy products.
Taking all forms OF milk and dairy
products. there will be approximately
an average supply of little more than
a quart Of milk day per person. In
the statistical showing for 1888, the
latest figures taken, we consumed al
most 18 pounds Of butter per person,
almost pounds Of cheese, little over
IA pounds of evaporated milk and
ia pounds condensed milk per per-
son that year.
IN THOSE figures, says the Bureau
of Home Economics of the United
States Department of Agriculture, is
a suggestion of the infinite variety Of
uses we find for milk and the choices
in dairy products that are available
to US. The amount of milk on hand
in the household, or easily to be had,
often determines what kind Of soup
to have for dinner, how to cook the
meat or vegetables. or what shall be
the dessert.
Milk to cook with" Is one OF the
cherished resources Of the kitchen
while as for cheese, there are so many
kinds and ways to use 1t that the
possibilities can hardly be counted
The housekeeper's choice may turn
on preference, or it may turn on
which is easiest to get. easiest to use
easiest to keep on hand, or which
costs the least. The cost, Of course
will vary from place to place and be-
tween farm and city.
AS for food value, which is the
first consideration in planning meals
the dairy products, except cream and
butter, are very much alike. Fresh
fluid milk, unskimmed, Is about IL

is more solid than many of the CON-

ARTISTS DESIGN NEW
BRITISH STAMPS, COINS
King Edwards Portrait to Appear
on 1886 Issues.

BIZ United Press
LONDON, April 10.-New British
postage stamps bearing the por-
trait of King Edward will be
issued before the end of the year
after artists have submitted designs
for consideration by a special COM
mittee, and finally by the King
himself.
The first issue of the new stamps
probably will number about $500,
O00, 900, enough to last the post
office about six months.
It has been decided, after several
conferences, that no mourning
stamps" will be issued.
In about six months the first
coinage bearing the head of the
new sovereign will be jingling in
the pockets of the people. The
head on British coins is reversed
with each reign. Thus, while the
profile of King George v faced the
left that of King Edward will face
the right.
