doctor. More important-self-treat-

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
P. s.: What Is spastic colitisf
Answer: Spastic colitis means in.
fiammation Of the bowel in which
the muscle tissue Of the bowel il IN
spasm, often associated with con-
stipation. Because the bowel is irri.
lated, it is customary in such cases
to use soft diets, free from excess
sive fiber.

When Elderly People Have Appendiciti.

Probably the most important con-
tributing factor to the bad outcome
in these persons is self-treatment
and the taking Of laxatives at home
prior to entering the hospital. Not
only Is the delay dangerous, but the
use of the laxatives may make rup-
ture Of the appendix more likely.
Abdominal Pain
The usual symptoms Of appendi-
citis consist Of pain in the right
lower part Of the abdomen, together
with tenderness on pressure on this
area, and some stiffness or rigidity
of the muscles. Phe white cells in
the blood area are, IS . rule, in
creased, and there may be fever.
Sickness at the stomach and vomit-
ing often but not always occur.
If there is any suspicion of appen.
dicitis and a definite diagnosis is
not possible. an operation should
nevertheless be carried out prompt
ly. II the patient should have an
attack of appendicitis and RECEIVERS
from it without operation, the an.
pendix may best be removed during
the period when no symptoms are
present.

AT Juniors question, my eyes

in need of counsel and also approval
of my own inclination to give the
children modified version of what
had happened. She nodded ever so
slightly, and knew that had the

l told the boys as l put my arm
around Faith, and drew her close to
me, "that, as l told you a minute

hours ago. His revolver went off &C.
cidentally, and the bullet just grazed
the bone of his lower left forearm.
"Dr. Twitchell was afraid that it
had gone farther into the bone, and
took him to a hospital for X-rays.

in the hospital for weeks"

"Oh, poor Daddy!" she walled,
and l braced myself for an outbreak
Of sobs and tears. But / saw Junior
enclose her face tenderly in his
hands, and heard him say: "Chin up,

Nuns down, you know"

besides, I've got to keep up my
strength so l can take care Of my

Where she got hold Of that par.
ticular phrase, do not know-she
repeats everything an adult says
which intrigues her magpie mind
but it served a distinct need. The
words and the intonation would
have set us all into laughter if we
had not been afraid Of wounding
her. AS it was, the boys and l re-
pressed even our smiles heroically,
but l saw that Lillian's shoulders
were shaking behind the newspaper
which she had snatched up and was
pretending to read.
"Atta grill" Roderick said clap
ping her on the shoulder, and
Faiths face glowed at his accolade.
"Shall l get out my nurses cos

hopefully, but l knew I must nip
that plan before it began to bud,
even though I was certain that
Dicky would revel in having her
welcome him arrayed in the nurses
complete outfit which Katharine
once made for her.
"No, darling, not this time" l
told her. "You see, we are all SO
busy getting ready to go out to the
farm, that we haven't time for even
a little bit of dressing up. But I am
sure, when we get out there, you
will have a chance to wear it. Some
body is sure to be ill.,"
"Jun and will be fiat on our

you appreciate Aunt Madge, how

Mischievous Grin
That was Roderick, with a mis-
chievous grin on his face. and l re-
turned his smile with interest, for
anything that would divert Faiths
attention was welcome.

him with mock severity and Faith
clapped her hands in glee.

"A psychiatrist would get some
good dope out of you," her brother
told her, but her query Of whats =

cause of the appearance in the door

By CARRY CLEVELAND MYERS. PED

THE more letters l read from
parents about eating problems in
the child and the more often l OBJ
serve a child when he doesn't enjoy
eating every food offered him, the
more l am convinced that a very
simple matter is likely to be at the
root of all the trouble.
The child is served far too large
helpings. Indeed, he at two, three
or five may be served large helpings
of several foods all together. When
this same child was only six or eight
months old he probably had a par
ticular food pushed into him beyond
the time when he enjoyed it, and
often so fast he could not masticate
and swallow it comfortably.
If I could get over to young moth
ers this simple rule, "Only one food
served at a time and very, very,
very small helpings," they would
rarely face eating problems with
the child. Well, they might try one
AOOu az q tIlllc, AoA . Wtulc az Ac0SSy
and suppose the helping is small.
But Small" may mean to them a
teaspoonful, even a tablespoonful.
l want it to mean not more than an
eighth of a teaspoonful, merely big
enough to be visible.
Two. Year.Old
Suppose the child is two years old
and you give him a tablespoonful
of mashed carrots he doesn't like
and you end his meal if he does not
clean up these carrots. He may hold
out and have no more food till the
next meal, II you hold out. The
chances are you won't hold out. Yet
how much easier it had been for him
and you if the amount had been no
bigger than a lima bean. In case the
child were older the small helping
would all the more certainly and
lead to the desired results.

SINCE l was a medical student,

agement Of acute appendicitis and
now results are fairly satisfactory,
with one exception. This exception
is the failure to recognize and treat
promptly appendicitis in the older
group of patients, particularly those
over the age Of 40.
We have found out that elderly
persons with appendicitis develop
the condition slowly. Often the pa
tient may not even look sick during
an attack. However. the condition
progresses rapidly and, by the
fourth day of the disorder, the ap-
pendix may have broken open, dis
charging its contents into the cav
ity Of the abdomen, resulting in
peritonitis.
Symptoms Not Typical
Then, too, the older patient with
appendicitis often delays in seek
ing attention. Unfortunately, the
symptoms are not typical, as they
are in young persons, and a correct
diagnosis Is difficult; and, as have
mentioned. breaking of the appen-
dix develops very early.

Even to give the child three, five
