STAGES OF sENIL1TY

First stage or premonitory per- iod of proStatic hypertrophy (blad- der trouble from enlargement of prostate and obstruction of outlet). The man, aged perhaps 55 to SO, begins to experience some difhculty in emptying bladder and sometimes even gets his feet wet If he doesn't watch out. He is annoyed by un- duly frequent calls, and often there is not only such frequency, more troublesome by night than by day, but also actual excessive quantity of urine in the twenty -four hours, In this stage, if the physician ex- amines the patient properly, no residual urine is present = that is, the bladder can still empty itself completely.
 With abstemiouS, careful living, and a bit of luck, the patient may remain for many years more or less in the first stage.
 As a rule, gradually, after several years, the first stage gives place to the second stage, insufficiency of the bladder. Now there is partial retention of urine-proper exami- nation by the physician shows an ounce or two or three of residual urine present in the bladder after the patient has emptied the bladder as completely as possible. Now is the time for all good men to decide, not just consider, whether to have the regular perinea prostectomy Surgical removal of prostate or ob- structing portion of prostate through incision in the perineum) or tram surethral resection of the obstruct- ing portion (removal of the ob- structing portion through the ure- thra).
 The second stage may last for several years - If the victim can hold out that long and in some cases, even if surgical relief is for some reason not available, the pa- tient may carry on for many years in fair comfort by means of regular use of the catheter, under careful instruction by the physician. Some statistically minded medical man gathered data on which he based the observation that patients with prostatic hypertrophy live two years, on the average, after begin ming catheter life.
 Third stage, period of incontin- ence, great distension of bladder, damage to ureters and kidneys from back pressure, with constitu- tional symptoms, all of which make the patient a trial to himself and his family or friends.
 I am trying to cover the subject in limited space, and hope this will not seem too cold -blooded. Of course there is something to be said for hygienic and medical treatment and I'll say that next time, but here there is room to add just one more bit of information: Both a cystos. copic examination [look at the ob- struction from inside bladder) and a kidney function test must be made in every case before any sur- gical treatment is undertaken. Ev- cry competent physician or urolog- ist makes these tests as a routine matter, before he even suggests per-

o. What is "niacin" and "Niacin arlide," mentioned in connection with vitamins in the diet?
 A. The U. s. Federal Security Administration has accepted these terms for "nicotinic acid' and "nico- tinic acid amide" because of the confusion resulting when people thought they contained the proper ties of nicotine. Actually they are vitamin substances and are very important in the diet. The recom- mendation for the change of name was made by the committee on Food and Nutrition of the National Research Council.

Included in PIuns

Workmen today were engaged in
clearing, grading and demolishing
the rickety frame bridge across the
abandoned right of way of the W.,
B. & A. Railroad bed in Seat Pleas
ant, Md.
The bridge, long regarded by resi-
dents as an eyesore, public nuisance
and hazard, is to be removed and an
intersection of Chapel road and
Palmer boulevard created.
Since 1884 civic groups and busi-
nessmen have complained that
school children are endangered by
loose planks and that cars passing
over it rattle boards and keep the
community awake through all hours
of the night.
A contract for the destruction OF
the span has been awarded by the
Maryland Public Roads Commission
The railroad right of way was
purchased by the State in 1910 and
plans were made for the immediate
construction of 24-foot- wide high
way connecting Seat Pleasant with
Lanham to serve as an alternate
route to relieve Peace Cross at
Hadensburg Of some Of the neayy
traffic at that intersection.
3 Roosevelt avenue, which now joins
with one side of the bridge at a
right angle and which parallels
Palmer boulevard for about three
blocks, will be eliminated and traffic
will flow on the boulevard to the
neWly-created intersection with
Chapel road.
