Patients may sometimes wonder
why their physician recommends an
X-ray examination OF the stomach and
Intestine when the trouble Is likely
to be In just one or the other and
not In both. They feel that the physi-
clan should be able to locate the trou-
Bile exactly and not put them to the
expense OF the X-ray examination,
reasonable though 1t may be.
AS matter Of fact. when there Is
trouble In the abdomen, In addition
to the X-ray of the stomach and mites
tine, an Xray examination OF the gall
bladder by means OF dye and the
Xray Is really what the physician
would like to have done to enable him
to learn more as to the cause OF the
symptoms.

Under the circumstances. further
use OF dinitrophenol should be dis
continued pending further study Of Its
effects upon the body, aside from the
reducing of weight
Now, the above information and
comments do not mean that dintro-
phenol passes out of the picture as q
weight reducer. AS the Journal quite
properly states that as dlnltrophen6l
has not been standardized some OF IT
may contain impurities Also the
cataracts may have resulted from an
unbalanced diet which often occurs
when the food intake Is reduced
greatly.
Thus 1t has not been established
whether the cataracts occurred be-
cause OF the dinitronhenol or because
OF some other undetected cause.
The point then is that dinitr0phenol
as at present manufactured and used
must be considered dangerous
drug.

1t In several cases with satisfactory
results. However, In the last two
weeks | have seen two cases OF rapidly
developing cataract In relatively
young women and have had reports
of four similar cases.
Doctor Boardman then records these
cases:
The first case used dinltrophenol for
20 months, reducing her weight from
237 to 161 pounds. Within one week
after the dlmness Of the eyes appeared
only light and dark could be distin-
kuished
The second case used dinitrophenoi
for eight months, reducing her weight
from pit pounds to 165. Dlnitrophe-
mol was discontinued for eight months
and the weight went up to 1913 pounds.
The drug was given again for two
months, when an eye examination
showed beginning cataracts. Vision
failed rapidly SO that within a month
there was almost complete loss OF
vision In tire right, eye.
Other Cases Similar.
The third case used dInitrophenol
from time to time for eight months
with a satisfactory loss OF weight
However her vision became dim and
within 80 days had progressed to al
most complete blindness and with
fully developed cataracts.
The fourth case had been taking
dlnltrophenol without physicians
SUPERVISION for several months. She
also has shown rapidly developing
cataracts.
Doctor Boardman comments as fol-
lows:
"As the occurrence OF cataract at
this age is extremely rare and the one
common factor In all four cases has
been the use OF dinitrophenol 1t would
certainly seem that until the question
OF the relationship between the
dinltrophenol and the rapidly devel.
oping cataracts In young women Is
settled, the drug should not be used"
In the same issue OF the Journal OF
the American Medical Association,
Drs. Warren D. Horner. Richard Barr
Jones, and w. w. Boardman, San
Francisco. report three cases OF catar-
acts following the use Of dinltrophenol.
The case were women aged. fifty,
thirty-seyen, and forty respectively.
They report that the age of the
patients and the absence of any other
cause suggest dlnItrophenol as the
cause OF the formation Of the cataracts
and loss of vision. However just how
dinitrophenol causes the drying proc
ess In the lens Of the eye Is not
| definitely known but Is being investi-
gated by these physicians. The over
heating Of all the body tissues. loss OF
water In the tissues, the lack OF some
| food In the patients diet, are all I'M

be found four or even five leaves on
the little plant by late Autumn.
When the Spring days arrive the
real growth begins, and in about May

with flowers getting ready to bloom
about July.
Timothy. after producing seeds to
carry on the race, continues to pro-
duce branches by means Of buds. So
it produces a fine crop of hay for ami
mails and seeds for birds and smaller
animals that seek the timothy fruit
at harvesting season. At present, 1t
is not definitely known how long q
timothy plant will grow through the
vegetative reproduction OF new shoots.
Where the timothy has fine soil, cul-
tivation and suitable climate, 1t will
grow to be several feet high and we'll
spreading. It's roots remain individual,
and, although they may come in con-
tact with a sister plant, they remain
separate. Buds will be found in the
axis of the leaves of the secondary
shoot. and these may also develop
into a third set of shoots.
The leaves remain green for some
time, then they begin to dry from the
tin downward to the base of the blade,
and then down to the base Of the
sheath. 1t is estimated they are green
for so days.
The head" is the name for the
flower of the timothy. 1t is very
packed panicle, with large number
of spikelets, crowded very, very close
together. The days of greatest growth
of these heads" is from the 1st to
the goth of June. The average length
of the head is 3 to 4 inches with fine
plants. The pollen floats on the air
with the slightest invitation from the
breeze, and that is how the golden
dust is carried from plant to plant.
The next Summer you are in tim

of dust that come floating through the

Then why don't you go to bed and

II don't want to go to bed" grum-
bled Buster. I'm not ready to 60 to

You're fatter than I ever saw you
before at this time Of year." said
Paddy.
What of it?" grunted Buster.
THE fatter you are the better pre-
pared for Winter you are. Isn't that
SOP" said Paddy.
I'm never prepared for Winter"
grumbled Buster. Il don't even know
where I'm going to sleep"
Then it is time for you to get busy
and find out instead of sitting on my
dam grumbling," snapped Paddy.
"I'll sit on your dam If I want as
long as I want to-" growled Buster.
II don't see what Jack Frost had to
come just now for. I don't see what
he ever has to come for?"
Where's Mrs. Buster?" asked Paddy.
IT don't know and I don't care"
Buster grumbled.
Probably she has looked over all
the places for a Bear to spend the
Winter and has picked out the best
one" said Paddy artfully.
Buster stopped rocking. He shuff1ed
across the dam. Il guess I'll be going

In connection with the compile

ties, field supervisors are measur-

farms on which applications were

BOY SCOUTS TO
HOLD CONTEST
Swimming Contest To Take
Place at Lake Como on
July Thirteenth
OUTING FOR THE SCOUTS

On Monday evening, July 18th,
the Smyrna Troop of Boy Scouts
will hold its second outdoor meet
ing at z p. m, at Lake Como.
Scouts are to bring Scout axes,
knives, flashlights, swimming suits
and something to eat. The big
event of the evening will be a
swimming and diving contest. If
rainy the meeting will be held at
the headquarters and the contest
held the following week. The con-
test will include fancy diving from
low dive and high diving boards,
fifty yard swim, one hundred yard
swim, pitching and rescue work.
This contest will be supervised by
Scoutmaster James w. Foster and
the Buddy System" will be used
throughout all the swimming per-
iods on these outings. The Buddy
System" is authorized by the Ma
tional Council and used in all Scout
Camps and troops. This system
is used to help Waterfront Direc-
tors and Scoutmasters in camps
and on troop outings where a large
number of Scouts are in the water.
The boys are counted off in pairs
and when they enter the water the
officer in charge blows a whistle at
intervals. Each boy must hold
hands or point out his Buddy" un-
til all are accounted for. Scouting
is an organization that teaches
clean living and good citizenship.
1t is sound in purpose because it
gives to youth an adequate outlet
for health energy under good lead
ership. 1t is no soft organization
for pampering the boy, but it is the
means of real character training
and body building. Scouting
and hardens the boys
character while it teache him re-
spect for law, order and love for
his country and insistance on good
citizenship. A good Scout will
never forget the motto BE Pre-
pared" 1t is the symbol of his
responsibility during each of the
three hundred sixty-five days of
the year.

THANKS! MORNING NEWS
Thinks 'The Smyrna Times" Has
Made a "Creditable Record"

The News-J Journal Publishing
Company of Wilmington by an edi-
torial in its morning paper, The
Morning News of July 4th pays
us complimentary remarks which
we deeply appreciate. 1t reads
as follows: with its current
issue the Smyrna Times starts on
its eighty-third year. From the
date of its inception up to the pres
ent time the Times has not missed
an issue. This is a record of which
the publisher may well be proud.
1t also is interesting that the paper
has been owned, published, and
edited by the same family from the
beginning. The Times was founded
by the late Robert D. Hoffecker
and is now published by his son, of
the same name. The Times is one
of the good weekly newspapers of
the Delmarva peninsula. 1t has
served its town and immediate
neighborhood faithfully all of these
years. And it is just as vigorous
in old age as it was in youth. We
congratulate Editor Hoffecker, and
wish him the continued success he
deserves"
