teachers salaries average $40 a

city, and Tokyo, have had the larg-

former city was selected, believe,
because of the. great and sacred

Revision of Japan's schools and
textbooks is an American task.
No Japanese should be trusted with
the work. Long years OF severe
thought control, absence Of inde-
pendent thinking and the inability
OF the Japanese to understand
truth, personal rights and liberties,
are handicaps to a democratic, free
school system.

Disorder of Nervous
System May be Cause
of Painful Irritation


of Painful Irritation
By HERMAN M. BUNDESEN. NJ. D
EVERY time there is a disturb
Gnce of the intestinal action, II
does not necessarily mean that ac-
tual disease Of the bowel is pres
ent, for often the bowel is just
functioning or working in the
wrong way. This condition is
known as the irritable bowel syn
drome.
According TO Doctors Gustavus
A. Peters and j. Arnold Bargen OF
Rochester, Minnesota, the under
lying cause for the irritable bowel
is a disorder Of the nervous sys-
TEN. They think that this type Of
disturbance tends to run in fami-
lies. Not only the large intestine,
but the entire gastro-intestinal
tract is affected, and is usually
irritated or upset.
SlfcuiatOTy DlhluIDanSo
In patients with irritable bowel
syndrome, there are often signs Of
circulatory disturbances also, such
as excessive sweating Of the
hands, cold, clammy hands, rapid
beating of the heart, low blood
pressure, and numbness and tim
Cling in various parts Of the body.
Nervous fatigue helps to ex-
plain the occurrence of the irrita-
BILE bowel syndrome, but other fac
tors also enter into il, such as the
abuse of laxative drugs, the too
frequent use Of enemas OF injec-
tions into the lower bowel, certain
foods to which the patient may
be oversensitive, or lack Of the
normal digestive juices in the
Stomach.
Many Complaints
Patients with the irritable bowel
syndrome have many complaints.
They often find that they feel sick
all over, or that they have stomach
trouble. or are bilious. What all Of
these symptoms may amount to Is
that the patient is suffering from
constipation, and has some pain or
discomfort within. the abdomen.
He is usually tired and exhausted
and has no energy or ambition.
Sometimes the pain in the alb
domen is in the upper part, but
more often in the lower end on the
left side. There is constipation,
often alternating with diarrhea.
Frequently there are excessive
amounts Of mucus in the bowel
movements. There may be belch-
ing, excessive gas formation and
gurgling within the intestines.
Pain Relieved
The abdominal pain is often re-
lieved when the bowels move. The
pain is rarely severe enough to
keep the patient awake at night.
The most important part Of
treatment of the irritable bowel is

fears. The exact nature Of the dis
order must be explained to him.
Then he must be given proper ad-
vice concerning diet, exercise, and
rest.
The diet will, of course, vary
with the symptoms present, and it
is important that the patient take
plenty Of fluids, eat at regular
times and, as a rule, avoid foods
which are highly seasoned and too
bulky. Certain drugs which quiet
the nervous system, such as pheno-
barbital, may be prescribed by the
doctor.

duced by a cyst of the ovary?

cents a vote.

OF more than $4,000,000 collected,
Guffey asserted $4,000 remains and

his widow and children or other sur

HEARING ON
ELECTION
HELD TODAY

A hearing by the supreme court is
scheduled for two O'Clock today, on
the complaint filed by Attorney Gen
eral Bottomly for a determination of
the question of whether or not the
primary law provisions can be applied
to nominations for candidates for the
filling of vacancies in the office of
representative in congress. The COM
plant names as defendants Governor
the Democratic State Central Com
mittee and Ashton Jones, chairman
of the Republican State Central Com
mittee.

ney general last week and a prelimi-
nary hearing was held last Friday,
the court not having then yet ac-
cepted Jurisdiction which it did the
early part of this week.
Lester H. Lobe favors the primary
system and insists that its provisions
be applied to the selection of candi-
vancancy in representation in con-
gress from the second Montana dis
trict. Ashton Jones, republican chair
man believes that the convention sys-
tenn can and should be used in the
of candidates.
Mr.. Lobe will be represented at the
hearing today by Attorney Hall of
Great Falls while Wellington ID. Ran
kin will appear for Ashton Jones. 1t
is not known whether the governor
will appear in person before the court
or will be represented by an attor-
ney.
Assistant Attorney General Hanley
will represent the attorney general.
