stomach causing stomach ulcers,
and another that they have dried
up all the acid in lot Of peoples
stomachs causing atomic dyspepsia.
Maybe all four are right. The
stomach is a funny thing; and then
there were the blind men and the
elephant. One of them was right,
when he got hold Of the leg and
r concluded the elephant is like
tree, and the other was right when
he got hold of the trunk and con-
cluded the elephant is like snake.
Stomach Ulcer
The reports TO which ! refer
started when it was stated that
. among the men who came through
the hell Of Dunkirk there was 300
per cent more stomach ulcer than
in the rest of the population. But
the rest Of the population suffered
also and there has been a great
increase in stomach complaints
among the civilian population Of
London. This is attributed to
hasty eating, irregular hours,
nervousness, or war filters, and
coarse food.
Constipation too, the type
known as spastic, where the bowel
is supposed to get tied up in hard
knots, is reported as the result Of
the war. Well, constipation of
some type was here before the
war. have never subscribed very
much to the idea of the spastic
type Of constipation. / always
thought when the bowels got tied
up in hard knots they went into
diarrhoea, so l am likely to SUBJ
scribe to the fellow who thinks the
war has caused lot of functional
diarrhoea.
The reports on the occurrence Of
peptic ulcer from war filters say
that this causes a great outflow
of acid and the acid eats the ulcer
in the stomach. Well now, we GER
tainly do not know the cause Of
ulcer. Plenty Of people have in
crease in stomach acid without
having ulcer, and coarse food and
irregular eating habits do not
cause it, because it is commoner
in those who are dainty in their
food habits and like processed
food, than it is in those who live on
coarse food and have to take it at
irregular intervals.
The explanation probably is that
the stomach is the most emotional
and temperamental organ in the
body except maybe the intestines.
And 1t is no wonder the war and
the present situation have every
body tied up in hard knots. If pos
sible cultivate philosophy
plenty of philosophy. Protect your
poor old jittery stomach by not
taking the war too hard. They saw
nothing is as bad as it seems. May
be that even includes Tho -vs-

Representative Eugene J. Keogh,
Democrat, of New York has intro
duced a bill, H. r. 4187, which pro-
vides for the placing of civilians on
duty in the Navy Department in
commissioned status. However. an
adverse report was received from
the Navy Department saying that
there was no need for the legisla-
ton as the Navy is doing what the
bill provides. However, Mr.. Keogh
says that his investigation does not
show this to be true and he intends
to press the matter further.
Former officers of the Naval Re-
serve who have been caught in the
ruling, which necessitated their CIV
ing up their commissions, are hop
ing that the Keogh bill will be
pressed, Many of these officers had
been in the Reserve for many years
prior to the present emergency. Be-
ing in the volunteer group, they took
annual training cruises at their own
expense, by taking their own leave.

During this time they received val
liable sea training, which gave them
a better insight in their civilian
posts, but with the arrival of the
emergency they have been forced
out and newly made officers given
commissions and assigned to duty in

Officers point out that it is such
conditions as these, which point
/ strongly TO a resumption of the ac-
| tivities of the United States Naval
Reserve Officers Association, the
Offices of which have closed down
their operations during the emer-
| gency. These officers point out that
the association should have a leg
| islative agent constantly on duty in
Washington to keep in touch with
the Navy Department and Congress
to see that the Reserve is properly
represented in legislation and even
that legislation is prepared and
pushed for the benefit of the men
now serving throughout the naval
service. 1t was said further that
because of restrictions on the activ-
tiles of Naval Reserve officers on
their own behalf, they cannot do
anything in the furtherance of leg
islation. and that there should be
some one here representing the as
sociation, who is not bound by these
naval regulations
Naval Reserve headquarters here
said that there is still a great de-
mand for typists and stenographers
for enlistment in the rating of yeo-
man in the Naval Reserve. There
are immediate assignments avail
able for these men. both in the Navy
Department and other naval activ-
tiles here. Also it is understood that
