How To Keep Well The diet after gall bladder surgery

Television

By T.R.Van Dellen, M.D. (c) 1974 by the Chicago Tribune World Rights Reserved People who were on a gall bladder diet before surgery often write to ask when they can eat fried eggs, gravies, onions, cabbage or a luscious cake. There is no reason why they can’t begin as soon as they feel up to par. Since the ailing organ is out, there is no need to omit these foods. However, I usually tell them not to overdo it on the first day. They should add one item at a time because fats, and greasy and fried foods are not the most

digestible. Besides, even people with a normal gall bladder often cannot tolerate them. If they “set well” and cause no discomfort, all signals are “go.” The gall bladder is a sucker for infections and a master at forming stones. This combination creates abdominal discomfort so readily that most victims want the trouble maker removed as soon as possible. The organ’s main job is to concentrate and store the bile that is manufactured 24 hours a day by the liver. The ferment (bile) is needed only when the person eats fats and oils. At such times, the sac contracts

and bile trickles into the intestine, where it aids in the digestion of these fats and oils. These functions are severely impaired or even lost when the organ is diseased and clogged with stones. Thus, the surgeon eliminates a source of irritation by removing a by now useless structure. After surgery, what organ takes over the work of the gall bladder? The bile ducts of the liver take over by enlarging to store and process the digestant. These ducts do an excellent job. Anyone who has had gall bladder surgery knows that there is a period of ajustment.

B. J. Becker Bidding quiz

You are the dealer and open One Heart. Partner responds Two Hearts. What would you bid now with each of the following four hands? !.♦ KJ6 VKQ763 ♦AQS +84 2. + AJ42 VK86432 ♦- +A93 3. + QJ9 VAQ853 4KJ4 +AJ 4. + - VQ976542 fA +AKQ43 1. Pass. Partner’s raise shows 6 to 9 points and moderate to good trump support. If partner has minimum values, you’ll probably make just eight tricks—give or take one. If partner has maximum values, you’ll probably make nine or ten tricks—but making ten rates to be a struggle. On balance, the winning action is a pass, but if you’re the gambling type, there’s nothing seriously wrong with bidding three hearts instead. If your impulse is to bid four hearts over two, we’d say you’re

probably a charter member of the compulsive gambler class. 2. Four hearts. This is the percentage bid, the one that figures to do best in the long run. This hand, with only 12 high-card points, is far more promising for game than the previous one with 15 high-card points. The big difference is the distribution, which is highly attractive. Thus, you’d surely want to be in game if dummy came down witn any one of these three rather mediocre hands: +K7 VQJ75 ♦ 98743 + 65 ♦ Q86 VAJ97 ♦9542 +74 + 9873 VA975 ♦J863 +10 3. Two notrump. This shows 18 or 19 points, and allows for the possibility that three notrump might be easier to make than four hearts. A good case can also be made for

bidding three notrump instead of two. If partner prefers hearts to notrump, he is perfectly free to go to four hearts. Four hearts over two is also a reasonable choice. 4. Five notrump. This is the grand slam force convention. Hearts having been agreed upon as trumps, the leap to five notrump (which has nothing whatever to do with Blackwood) requests partner to bid seven hearts with two of the three top trump honors—and without regard to the rest of his hand. If partner lacks the ace or king of hearts, he simply bids six hearts. On lucky days, when your partner has the A-K of trumps for his heart raise, he bids seven—after which you go home and tell your spouse what a wonderful convention the grand slam force is.

It takes time to regain strength and energy. Increase your activity, but avoid fatigue. Salt, Cortisone H.Y. writes: My doctor, who prescribed cortisone for bouts of bronchial asthma, told me not to eat salt. Why is salt a nono when a person is taking cortisone? REPLY Salt is taboo because cortisone encourages the retention of salt and fluid in the tissues. This leads to edema (puffiness) and a weight gain. The waterlogging process is discouraged by limiting the intake of salt. Indented Navel B.P. writes: Instead of protruding, my navel is indented. The area is not painful, but it is very sensitive. What should I do about this situation? REPLY You should see your physician for a diagnosis. If you have a hernia, surgical correction may or may not by neccessary, depending on the degree of involvement. Face Life, Acne Mrs. C. writes: Would a face lift, help acne scars? Planning (dermabrasion) helped a little; but I still have some scars on the cheeks and chin. REPLY No, a facelift would not obviate acne scars. In face lifting, the &kin is pulled up and back, but the Original skin in the chin and cheek remains. The only difference is that after a face lift, it is taut. TOMORROW: The DT’s

In World War I the Russians mobilized 12 million men and 9,150,000 were casualties, including 1,700,000 killed.

WORRY CLINIC George W. Crane, PhD., M.D.

Dean Agee’s journalism students learn how to employ the tools of the brain with precision. Even President John Adams made 2 errors in the sentence quoted below. Avoid 20 of these common errors, and you’ll speak belter than college graduates!

CASE C-617: Warren K. Agee is the noted Dean of the U. of Georgia School of Journalism. He and some of his professorial colleagues entertained me on my last lecture trip there. W e discussed the newspaperman’s concise style and use of short words. Plus the many grammatical and typographical mistakes that still occur. Even President John Adams was guilty of such, for notice his quotation, recently used in an ad by Copley Newspapers: "None of the means of information," said Adams, "are more sacred or have been cherished with more tenderness and care by the settlers of America than the press." Can you high schoolers pick out the two grammatical errors in that quotation? “None" is a contraction, meaning "Not one.” i So "None” should not be followed by "are" but by “is” and the "have cherished" should be "has cherished." "None" thus requires a singular verb! Yet that error is still made by many s< hool teachers and radio announcers. They also err in saying "real well" when they mean “very well."" "But, Dr. Crane," you may protest, “isn’t correct use determined by the majority? "For ain't' is now included in the dic tionary!” A majority vote does NOT determine correctness, right nor justice!

Pontius Pilate succumbed to that political error when he let a propagandized courtroom vote 100% to send the innocent Chi tst to Calvary! And that same mistaken notion about “majority rule" explains why Chief Justice John Marshall said our Republic differs from a democracy as "order" differs from “chaos.” Words are the tools of the human brain so they need to be employed with precision and exactness! All skilled craftsmen realize that a hatchet or ax may, as a matter of necessity, be used to smooth a tree trunk into a 6’ x 6’ post or a table top. But saws or a carpenter’s plane are the more precise tools. Same applies to our spoken and written language. Slang and profanity also are crude stop-gaps to let teenagers avoid the prec tse thinking that a literary craftsman demonstrates. “The party was swell,” a gushing coed may exclaim. "The food was also swell. And the music was swell, too. “So we all had a swell time." That word "swell" was like the ax crude ly employed in lieu of a carpentet’s chisel or plane for she should have said: “The party was exciting. The food was delicious. The music was dreamy. So we all had a wonderful time." Many Americans pride themselves on speaking a little Spanish, Frene h or German, yet still can’t use- English precisely. So teach your kiddies to speak and write correct English by sending for my booklet "How to Raise Your Child's School Marks," enclosing a long stamped, return envelope, plus 25c.

SANFORD AND SON. “TOWER POWER.” Fred Sanford becomes an artist, expressing his feelings, hammering together junk in the yard, a mess he calls the Fred Sanford Tower. There’s some silly business about Fred saying to son Lament: “Who are you to judge art? What do you know?” But Fred’s abrupt change from a bored museum patron to an artist with meaning in his life is of interest. Tune in to look at his junk-yard exhibit. 8:00 PM (26) SPECIAL. “YES, VIRGINIA, THERE IS A SANTA CLAUS.” The famous true story about a little New York girl named Virginia O’Hanlon, who wrote to the editor of the New York Sun during the turn of the century to find out if there was a Santa Claus, is turned into a siihple, sweet Christmas-card cartoon feature. Jim Backus narration adds immeasurably to the straightforward tale which ends with the editor of the Sun’s answer to Virginia’s query with a front page editorial, which has ironically outlived the newspaper itself. A show for the kids, and painless fare for parents who are inundated with holiday specials aimed at youngsters. 8:00 PM (13) CHICO AND THE MAN. “THE LETTER.” Chico wants to move to New York, which happens to be Ed’s idea of a nightmare. Series creator Jimmy Komack, responsible for the pilot, penned this story of two men who find it difficult to leave their familiar environment. The plot may be easy to predict, but Freddie Prinze, Jack Albertson and cronies make it work. 8:30 PM (2-6) SPECIAL. “THE MAN WITHOUT A COUNTRY.” (Repeat). This is the thoughtful TV adaptation of the classic story about Philip Nolan, the misguided patriot, who sided with Aaron Burr in his illadvised plan to annex Texas and Mexico to the United States. In his ensuing court martial, he renounced his country and received a sentence never to set foot on American soil again, leading to 60 years of exile on the high seas. The core of the drama, Nolan’s personal tragedy, is presented via his relationship with some of the men he came

in contact with during js long odyssey. Cliff Robertson does very well in the title role, despite a tendency to overstate the old-age makeup in the final scenes. To add to the authenticity of the piece, most of the footage was shot in Mystic Seaport, Conn., aboard vessels of the period, and in Newport, Rode Island. 8:30 PM (13) POLICE WOMAN. “SMACK.” Tense, absorbing episode about drug pushing and drug using at a high school, which starts out with a beating and death, and goes on to trace the pattern of horror adults and students devise. Pepper’s undercover assignment as gym teacher at the school adds a quality of depth to the tale, while her need for a co-working policewoman to volunteer as an undercover student adds drama to the case. 10:00 PM (26) IN CONCERT. Sly and the Family Stone perform some of their biggest hits, including “Stand” and “I Wanna Take You Higher,” in this concert taped before a live audience at Hollywood’s Aquarius Theater Superstar Donovan appears singing, among others, his classic “Mellow Yellow.” MIDNIGHT SPECIAL. Host Tom Jones sings many of his hits, including “It’s Not Unusual” and “Love Me Tonight,” and welcomes guests Chuck Berry and the Kiki Dee Band. 1:00 AM (2-6) TV movies Friday Movies 9:00 A.M.
