STOMACH IS lgEIxHER. BELLY
 NOR ABDOMEN tl

There are no seneory nerves in abdomen (accent on tho dol, nor in the stomach for that matter. but only An the belly. Therefore it is as incorrect as it is improper to say stoEnael1acho when what you mean is Of course bellyache. H. ". Fowler Dictionary Of Modern Eig- fish Ueage) says that use Of the word stomach In the belief that it' is less vulgar than belly is gentee- liam, Mrs. Malaprop gracefully. avoids gentelllszn by lifting ala eyes brow and calling It her diaphragm.
 No one has paln in the stomach or 1n any ether organ or tissue ia the abdomen (great body cavity but only in the belly (front wall of ab6cfneti) :. You can't feel pain ia Q structure that hes no sensory nerves. gengcfy nerves are ell ter- nlinAl branches of the spinal cord or direct lines to the brain ;(tlae first twelve pairs, called cranlal nerves). i. There Is no direct nerve connection between brain or spinal cord and the internal organs, no motor CT sensoTy nerves supplying stomach, liver, spleen, pAncefas, intestine, onentunl, or the heart and lungs in the thorax (upper body cavity. The internal organs gre regulated or controlled bw the asitoinotnic, in- voluntary. vegetative cr "sympathe- tlc' nerves and ganglia which con- vey impulses of emotion, such as fear dr joy, but not voluntary or conSciolls messages.

 When I had acute sangrenous appendicitis there was no pain, no beiiyache, but just several hours, of what seemed weeks of waiting for them to operate and relieve the ex. tFeme feeling of tension or pressure feeling of tension or pressure or constrictIon, but certainly it was not ache or pain.

MANY WAYS TO USE APPLES

They soy on apple . day is Q vorS fine thing, but we think that applea also win high honors in the If" they give to more traditional ways of cookery. The texture of apples lends" itself well to combinations with squash and sweet potatoes and helRhtens the flavor Of these foods. Many of us associate apple sauce with roast pork, but fewer associate sauteed apples with bacon. 1t is Q delicious combination for breakfast or luncheon. The following recipes illustrate some of the things the apple can do.
 Baked squash With Apples
 3 acorn sQuashes
 l teaspoon salt
 1-S teaspoon pepper 2 tablespoons butter
 3 tart apples
 2. tablespoons brown sugar
 Wash the. squastes and cut ir halves lengthwise; remove the seeds and pulp. sprinkle with salt and pepper and dot with butter. Pare and core the apples. cut in eighths and arrange the pieces in the hol- low of each pieco of squash. Sprinkle with the sugar.

Kuth MilIett it's e terrible mistake for her to be frank about her intentions.
 It Isn't flattering to any man to be admired by girl who, by her own admission, wants to get mar Tied, And 1t doesn't put the girl in Q good light, either. "If she wants to get married" Q man Is bound to ask himself, whats the trouble with her that she doesn'tp"
 And that is 6 fatal question, SO far "a girls glamor Is concerned. or course, the matrimonially minded girl probably didn't confide in the young man that she wanted hus- band. She didn't have to, She had already confided in . few of her wo- men friends-and they were unable to keep still about 1t.
 And once a girl lets down her hair enough to tell. her women friends that she wants a husband. she usually becomes more obvious in her technique with men,
 It is as though having admitted her ambition, she is free to 60 after 1t in as open Q manner as possible. EHs DON'T LET ON
 YOU WANT TO WE'D 3Sy
 So she says "Yes" too quickly and eagerly to any man who asks her for Q date, and thinks one date gives

 They do not lle awake nlghtz innakining air-xaidS and fearing mutilatlon and death. Like the cruelties and horrors of Q qrinlnis' fairy tale, such things have per. enaial fascination; the excitement ' is pleasurable, not painful. Play. ing soldier" is Q universally popular childhood game.
 There are. of course, exceptions Some children are, by nature fear- fui and sensitive. Even if there were no war, they. would tend tc people the dark with frightening creatures: these have aSl anxious attitude toward life in general.
 For such children, of cOuree we need not dwell on the details and the bloodshed. But the cause ot their fears lies not In the actual horrors of Teal life, 1t Hes within their own inner and personal troubles. They will ezaver be cured by mere ,ceasorship.
 All children need to listen nov and then to adult conversation. older children should hear war discussed as something we are all trying to find ways of getting rid of some day.
 They should know that this means studying tho needs of people of all nations before we ever 60 to war; It may mean many changes In our personal lives and quite Q new kind of world.

 If young people can consider such questions and come to feel that war is not the final answer to all our problems, that there could be better ways of living if we have the wit to discover them, I do not believe that frankly facing this war and it's iae- cessities will make them cynical.
 If their parents can face the fu- ture, the sacrifices and the dangers with resolution and practical good sense, children will almost certainly feel that they can too. It is the Rrown.upS who furnish the cue. The problems" of children in Q world ct war usually turn out to be not theirs but their parents.

 Most parents, in asking this cues. ton, are thinking for the moment not about physical safety, which is a separate question, but about the strain to nerves, the loss Of c sense of security, the shock to sensitive feelings of children reared to hate force and bloodshed,
