Lighter View on War Wronq

THE astounding statement of Rep
Warren D. Magnuson of Washington
on his recent return from Alaska that it
is slime" for us to have the Japs in the
Aleutians because that made it easier for
American bombers to reach them is evil
dence of how lightly the war against
Japan in the Pacific is being taken in GER
tain uniformed and unintelligent quarters.
Perhaps Mr.. Magnuson would even
like to see the Japs in Vancouver or Seattle
or San Francisco, where it would be still
easier for American bombers to reach
them-and for them to reach the Ameri-
can bombers
But we are quite sure that Mr.. Mag
nuson would not like to see these advance
troops of savage Oriental invasion in
Washington where Congressman Magnu-
son abides-let us hope only temporarily.
Mr.. Magnuson seems to think that
the war in the Pacific area is nothing
more than a friendly n4afksmen's con-
vention.
n ANNOT he realize that the Japs are
~ on OUR SOIL?
They have been on our soil since early
last June, when they calmly landed,
WITHOUT OPPOSITION, on Kiska, Attu
and Agattu.
That is INVASION-and the prep
aration of bases for further invasion.
1t is the first invasion of American
soil since the British burned the capital in
Washington 128 years ago.
The Japs should have been blasted
out of the Aleutians within a week
But they are there yet, reinforced.
and seem more firmly entrenched every

Two Causes
For Cramps
In Abdomen
Often Fats
but Other Never
By DIR. LOGAN CLENDENIN'

BY DIR. LOGAN CLENDENING
THE two conmonest causes
Il of acute abdominal cramps
are appendicitis and CASTRO
enteritis.
Appendicitis is inflammation
of the vermiform appendix,
which is a lymphoid structure
much like the tonSils.
Gastro-enteritis is general
inflammation of the surface
membrane of the entire di-
gestive tract, both stomach and
bowel.
A gastro-enteritis attack is
usually due to overeating. or
eating some food that irritated
or disagreed" or to mild bac-
terial infection from infected
food
1t has no serious compli-
cations.
A PPENDICITIS, on the other
"A hand, is one of the most
serious not only of abdominal,
but of all bodily conditions.
Both conditions are particu-
larly likely to occur in young
adults-from 18 to 35.
In making a diagnosis and in
the handling of the case, the
cooperation of the patient is
needed. and therefore there is a
need for the education of the
public on the subject.
AS pointed out by Doctors
Quigley and Contratto, who di-
rect the health of Harvard'S
students, if diagnosis of
appendicitis demanding oper-
alton is made on a student
with gastro-enteritis, a great
deal of valuable time, to say
the least, is lost.
But even more serious and
hazardous, is for the student or
bureau worker TO have APP
pendicitiS and say:
ooh, it's just an old-fashioned
bellyache."
A CCORDING to the experience
"A of the Harvard medical di-
rectors, the differential diagnosis
is made on a number of points
which their experience has tabu-
lated.
There is a sudden, or explosive,
onset in nearly all 90 per cent?
cases Of gastro-enteritis; but in
less than half al per cent? Of
the cases of appendicitis.
Diarrhoea is present in II per
cent of gastro-enteritis cases,
very rare & per cent? in APP
pendicitis.
Vomiting occurs in II per
cent in gastro-enteritis, SO per
cent in appendicitis.
The pain in the abdomen is
colickly in gaStro-enteritis t64
per cent?, steady in appendicitis
in SO per cent of cases.
There is never SpaSm of the
muscles in gastro-enteritis, but
in % per cent of appendicitis.
If there is pain in the abdomen
on coughing, the indication is
appendicitis, occurring in 81 per
cent of cases. 1t never occurs
in gaStro-enteritiS.
When the doctor counts the
blood and finds the white cells
below 10000, it practically rules
appendicitis out; though in half
the cases of gastro-enteritiS the
white cell count is below 10000.

What War Bonds Buy
Medical detachments in all

Medical detachments in all
branches of our military and
naval forces require leg splints
for emergency service. The So
called Thomas steel spfints cost
S2.25 per pair.
Base hospitals and many
field hospitals require these
splints as regular equipment
D.. although in many cases two
rifles are used as splints when
no regular equipment is avail
able for use on broken legs.
Your purchase Of War Bonds
and Stamps will help buy these
essential splints for our injured
soldiers and filters. "Join the
Ten Per Cent Club-invest at
east 10 per cent Of your income
in War Bonds and Stamps
every pay day. A pay roll allot-
ment pledge is your easiest way

Mount Bethel Methodist churches in
Butte, and his wife recently celebrated
their 4Oth wedding anniversary. The
occasion was marked at a dinner
served at the home of the well known
couples son-in-law and daughter, Mr.

Brig. Gen. william q. Rose, chief
Of the Army's Postal Service.
The Army knows, he said, that
the men count the days between
letters from home, adding that
mail goes to them on every convoy
that leaves America.
He reported the Army has Just
completed arrangements for Ameri-
can soldiers overseas and their
families to communicate with each
other by radio and cable for only
so cents. He promised, too, that
soon many of the men would be
able to have their mail photo
graphed on microfilm and shipped
by air without charge under the
V-mail system.
Army Band Plays.
Then he explained how the mail
goes and the why and wherefore
of the delays. After the mail Is
put aboard the fastest ships, those
ships join a convoy at q secret
rendezvous. Enemy action may
cause the ships of the convoy to
separate or take wider, circuitous
routes. Even though the mail was
placed on the fastest craft, 1t might
not reach its destination any sooner
