i'm Reduction of
Recurrent Pain

By HERMAN BUNDcSEN. NJ. {
IT HAS been reported that four
70 FIVE Of every ten women In the
ehildbearinC age between eighteen
and forty-fve years suffer from
pain during their menstrual
periods and that about one-SiNth
Of such women are seriously
handicapped during this time as a
result. This represents a large
loss in time from work and, Of
course. interference with other
activities.
A great deal Of effort has been
made to determine the various
causes for such difficulties and 20
devise methods Of treatment.
Among the various causes sug-
gested are mechanical disturb
ances. nervous disorders, allergy
or oversensitivity, and perhaps
trouble with the glands Of internal
secretion such as the thyroid gland
in the neck or the sex glands.
Study Made
Doctor John o. Hannah Of
Brookline, Massachusetts,, has
made a study Of 1919 women be-
tween the ages Of Is and 81 years.
He divided the patients into two
groups. The first included those in
whom pain occurred with the frst
period they had or within four
years thereafter. The discomfort
started several hours TO two to
three days before the periods in
the form Of cramp-like or colicky
pains. They were most severe in
the lower middle part Of the
abdomen. The pain sometimes
passed downward into the legs or
back.
In many instances it was accom-
panied by sickness of the stomach
as we'll as vomiting and a feeling
Of sickness.
often there was a cold and
clammy sensation OF the hands and
feet.
Second Group
In the second group the women
had painful periods but the pain
did not follow the same course de-
scribed above for the first group.
Doctor Hannah also GRADED the pa
tients in the first group into three
classes: those in whom the pain
was so severe that the patient had
to go to bed; those who found il
necessary to take some medicine
for relief but were not confined to
bed; and those in whom the dis
comfort was not severe enough to
require taking drugs for relief.
Doctor Hannah treated all of the
patients by having them carry out
certain exercises. These could be
done at home and only had to be
employed for two or three months
before improvement occurred.
Nearly IS per cent. Of all the pa
tieuts treated obtained at least
some relief. In the first group nine
out of every ten were benefited.

Kale Found Rich
| Mineral Source
By Moraoret McPheeters
Maryland Extension No,ritieni.t


If you don't like spinach, try kale
This low-cost and useful vegetable
is rich in iron, calcium and caro-
tene which makes vitamin A.
The mild fall helped to make kale
supplies abundant. and in many
gardens the crop can be harvested
well into December, and may win
ter over till spring.
To get the most food value from
1t, the kale should be cooked just
enough to make the leaves tender
With short cooking in just enough
salted water added to prevent its
sticking to the bottom OF the kettle
the vitamin C in the vegetable il
saved. Use Of little water keeps the
iron and calcium in the leaves, in
stead of letting the minerals run
off in the cooking water.
Length OF cooking time has little
effect on carotene, the source OF
vitamin A, in which kale Is almost
as rich as carrots.
The kale leaves also are good
cooked in q heavy skillet, with lit
tie fat, steamed under q cover un-
til they are tender. Small, tender
leaves can also be cut into q tossed

Farm Wood
Is Valuable
In Coal Crisis

In year OF doubtful coal supply
the farm wood lot has taken on q
greater significance. On many farms
the wood pile has grown to huge
proportions during the mild fall
months.
State foresters and conservation
omcials have long advised farmers
to give greater attention to the
farm woodlands. In many timber
tracts, they point out, future timber
production can be improved by TAX
ing part Of the trees for fuel. IN
stands of young trees. the removal
of some will permit faster growth
and better development Of those re-
naming.
Foresters point out that while slab
wood produces slightly less heat
than split wood, it Ia cheaper usual
ly and therefore desirable for fuel
Wood gives about half the heat
per pound Of fuel as coal. A cord
OF hickory, foresters say, will pro-
duce about the same amount of heat
as a ton OF coal. White oak, red
oak and beach produce about seven
eighths the amount Of heat rs q ton
Of coal, while red maple viii pro-
duce about three-fourths the heat
produced by ton Of coal. Yellow
and white pine will produce two
thirds and two-fifths the amount OF
heat as a ton of coal.
One advantage OF wood should not
be overlooked. A cord Of wood will
leave 60 pounds Of ashes, against
from 800 to 400 pounds Of ashes from
a ton of coal.

"Gadgets for the gardener" might
well be taken as slogan this Christ
mas. Stores and supply houses offer
many useful and worthwhile things
for the garden, some of which have
been unavailable since before the
war. Besides, there are choice bulbs.
nursery stock, rosebushes and seed
packet collections that will please
the most discriminating.
Among the newer gadgets is a set
of hand tools-garden trowel, trans
planting trowel and cultivating fork
made of light but strong material.
A handy little row maker-two
stakes with q reel attached to one
for rolling up the cord-every' gar
dener viii find pleasure in using.
Not so new, but still widely needed,
is the convenient device which can
be attached to the garden hose to
produce q good spray simply by
turning ON the water. 1t really takes
away much of the chore Of spray
ing plants in that the water flowing
through the cartridge produces the
proper spray mixture. The kind OF
spray is determined by the cartridge.
The new rubber tired lightweight
carts for hauling dirt, trimmings and
other materials about the garden
are q great improvement over the
old wileelbarrow. There are sew
eral types and sizes from which to
choose.
Garden Gloves Are Flexible.
A similar gift, but one that Is
nevertheless highly appreciated, Is
q pair Of the lightweight tough gar
den gloyes--flexible enough for Q
woman but tough enough to use In
handling rose thorns with comfort.
A good steel garden trowel, the kind
that is strong enough to pry out
stubborn clump of grass and big
enough to dig a hole for a dahlia
tuber, Is something that all too few
gardeners own. It makes an ideal
Christmas gift.
For the coldframe owner an
electric hotbed cable with thermo-
stat attached Is q useful and priced
gift. The cables are again available
although not all stores have them
in stock. The gardening fan who
is interested in studying his soil will
probably find q soil-testing kit
exceedingly interesting and valuable.
They come in all sizes.
For the fellow who likes to keep
his hedges neatly trimmed there are
number of hedge trimmers adver-
tised. They vary In size from the
small hedge shears to the fancy
gadgets that work like q moving
machine or the lightweight elec-
trically operated ones. Certainly

OF Tobacco Growers

Maryland tobacco growers win be

Joseph H. Blandford, State Pro-

ton chairman.
While the Nation as 4 whole Is
expected to decrease the tobacco
acreage, the Maryland increase. he
said, is based on continued strong
demand for Maryland leaf for Gig
arettes.
The 1916 crop, which win be sold

against the intense cold of window
glass will protect the plants.
Humidity is most important fol
indoor plants. Some homes have
humidifiers. Other methods: Place
a bowl of water on the radiator
nearest the plants; frequently spray
the foliage to protect from dry air;
grow bulbs in pebbles and water
among the plants; fill pot sa,icers
with pebbles and keep water poured
over these, but do not allow water
level to reach bottoms Of pots.
House ventilation is important to
inside plants. Open a window just

Plant food in tablet form should
be supplied on the basis of two
