Wheat to Eat
Eating Hair
Twenty-one months old daughter
pulls out hair and puts in 1t her
mouth, and we are afraid she some
times swallow bits Of it.
CMrs. w. M
Answer-No harm, unless she
swallows enough so that it accumu-
lates somewhere in alimentary
tract. A child with that habit de-
veloped symptoms somewhat like
appendicitis when she was six or
seven years old. At operation the
intestine was found almost COM
pletely obstructed by ball OF hair.
Keep on correcting her until she
stops pulling out her hair and chew
ing it.

HEART MURMUR AND
EFFICIENCY

In a talk about heart murrnur
the other day said Q doctor can
form an opinion Of the significance
of q murmur only by careful study
Of the patient, which means usually
repeated examinations Of the heart
under varying circumstances, sone-
times x-ray, sometimes electrician
Geographic tests, and Of course flnc-
tional tests. OF course the impor-
tant question Is not whether q MUIR
muir is soft or loud but whether the
circulation Is efficient, that Is,
whether the heart functions EN-
GENTLY. :.
Here are some Of the functional
tests commonly applied by physt-
clans in q thorough physical or
health examination:
/. The staircase test. Count the
patients pulse ct rest and record
the systolic pressure. Let the
patient then ascend flight OF.
twenty steps rapidly. Then count
the pulse and record the Systolic
pressure again. Normally the pulse
rate increases 20 beats q minute
and the systolic pressure rises
millimeters Of mercury. Both re-
turn to the patients normal with
in three minutes. II the heart Is
functionally inefficient the pulse
rate will increase 30 beats per
minute or more and the Systoltc
blood pressure will rise more slow
" and only about millimeters
Of mercury-and this slow increase
Of blood pressure may be followed
shortly by a sudden fall below
the patients normal or 1t may
even fail to rise at all.
II there Is no suitable staircase
handy the physician may modify
this test by having the patient hop
twenty PAGES on one foot instead OF
running upstairs.
II the heart is functionally EN-
cient the patients skin remains dry
after this exertion; If the heart Is
inefficient the exertion Of hurrying
up twenty steps or hopping twenty
steps on one foot causes the skin
to become quickly moistened with
sweat.
Some physicians use neither Of
these tests but instead take the pa
tents pulse and systolic pressure
then have the patient do twenty
deep knee fiextons (you know, the
3rd movement of The Last Brady
Symphony, and then record pulse
rate and systolic pressure again.
If the blood pressure remains
constant after such exercise or ex-
ertion the heart is efficient (no
matter whether there is valvular
leakage or not. II the blood pres
sure rises as already described and
then returns to the patients nor
NAL within three minutes the heart
is efficient. If the blood pressure
rises and then rapidly falls below
the patients normal without ten
dency to rise again, the heart mus
Gle is fatigued. II the blood pres
sure falls after the exercise or ex-
ton the heart is inefficient.

About month ago, 4 British

called for boats and two fearless

It's only temporary.
Army officials here did not know
how long the ban would be on but
obviously they won't be denied ciga-

The London post exchange sales
were halted by authorities to en-
able sufficient supply to be sent
to the men at the front who were
getting fewer than those at the rear,

Where are the cigarettes?" raised
by the Army newspaper, Stars and

cials said it was one for the Army
exchange officer of the theater, who
is in charge of post exchanges.
There are suficient cigarettes
going over" authorities here as
serted. There is no question about
that. What happens after they get
there Is another matter"
They added that shipments are
allocated lin such way there is
