Medical literature is replete with
material on the subject of peptic
gastric, stomach or duodenaD
ulcer, mainly dealing with teh dag
nosis and treatment. There is COM
paratively little that deals with the
causation of peptic ulcer. That is
natural enough, for no one knows
definitely what causes peptic ulcer.
In line with the theory favored
by many physicians who have
studied the problem, that a con-
tributing factor of peptic ulcer is
reflex irritation, which is not to be
confused with focal infection. is the
observation made by DR.. T. F. Nc
Namara, Rochester, N. Y. (whose

date relief of the ulcer symptoms

of gastric or duodenal ulcer.

Loin of pork is probably the most
popule~ of all fresh pork cuts. AL
though not as low in price as some
of the other cuts, it merits a place
on the Sunday menu in an economy
budget.
The loin contains the backbone,
ribs and tenderloin and is sold as
roasts and chops.
Like all pork cuts, roast loin of
pork. chops and tenderloin should
be thoroughly cooked. Cooked pork
should be whitish in color without
a pink tint.
ROAST LON OF PORK
Loin of pork, salt and pepper.
Season pork loin with salt and pep
per and place fat side up in open
roasting pan. Loin roast needs no
rack. Place in moderate oven $3.50
degrees F.. Do not cover pan.
Basting is not necessary The
fat will melt and run over and
into the roast. A meat thermome-
ter is best way of telling when
roast is done. Insert to the center
of thickest part of roast. Roast
will be done when thermometer
reads 1876 degrees F., or allow 30
to IS minutes per pound.
PORK TENDERLOIN IN CREAM
One pork tenderloin, salt and
pepper, tablespoons lard, l cup
cream, flour, l teaspoon lemon
juice.
Have pork tenderlon cut into
pieces for serving. Season with

house was all decorated, the ice
cream ordered, and the guests as
sembled. But when Charlie en-
tered the house he found the peo-
pie in tears.
His brother, he was told, had been
crushed against the wall Of build
ing by car driven by drunken stu
dents. 1t was only about two min
utes before the accident occurred
that Charlie had parted from his
brother.
When he heard the story he
gave a jump and began to trem-
ble," he said. The trembling con-
tinued at intervals for days. Then
he had an attack of grippe, lost
more than 80 pounds In weight, lost
the desire for food, became greatly
weakened, and felt unable to work
at his job.
There were other elements in the
situation. Although the man was
40 years old, he was not married.
There was possibly a mother COM
pick. He had personal problems OF
a somewhat critical kind to reckon
with.
The important point is that here
was a man of almost middle life
who had never got himself thor
oughly in hand emotionally He was
emotionally unstable, and in need
of emotional re-education. He
needed to acquire self mastery
that would enable him to meet an
emotional shock, even severe one,
without being thrown into such
nervous and physical reactions that
followed the death Of mis- brother.

chotherapist he attended a Glass

In the interest of preserving to

portraits, now in the State House
and other buildings at Annapolis, of
former Governors and others who

At the same time he has given the
"go ahead" signal on the restoration
of the old Senate Chamber, where
Washington resigned his commits
sion. Authorization for such restora-
ton was made during the regime
of Governor Nice, when a commits
sion was appointed and the neces-
sary research was done to establish
the authentic setting to be followed.
This project was allowed to lag,
but in line with his desire to put
