The Value of Estrogens I line lA I

•y Harman N. Bundesen, M.O. It Mw-m* generally agreed that the period known as the menopause or change of life occurs in both sexes. In the female. the change takes place rather rapidly, la the male, it oeeurs much more graduallyAccording to Dr. Trevor Owen of Canada, mauy of the symptoms that arise in the woman arc doe to a lack of what is known ae estrogenic substances that are found In the Mood. These esfrbgenlc stances, when administered, affect the vasomotor syatefn. that to. the nerves which control the else of the Mood ♦easels. Hot Flushes A lack of estrogenic substance during the change of Hfe causes ItOt flushes and the administration ot the preparation usually overcomes them. Furthermore, they tend to relieve a great dual of the irritability and anxiety which occur. Dr. Owen believes that many times during tee change of lite in women there is an Increase in the severHy of sped conditions as mlgratae. wMuh to a oeverc form of J Itoate k9%iA- s rs A_ ■ ' i

The program, op rating under the i new office of Information and Cui--1 tnral Affafr*. is "to supply facts, not propaganda, altout this country. with the alm of replacing prejudices with truth and suspicion with understanding.'* American libraries will be maintained over seas, docunsrntwry and back-gronnd material supplitMl by mail and wire' less, dims translated Into foreign < languages, a Russian-language magazine published, and wide ex- | change of stud fits, scholars and 1 technicians will be encouraged. -0 I i Saved Manuscripts:* Civilisation had to work hard to preserve its fruits from destruct- , ion in World War 11. Illustrative of this was China's move to ship ‘ l her most precious ancient lit rary manuscripts to this country as the Japanese war against her progressed. Specialist* in the Library of Congress at Washington have handled mor’ than 3.000 rare books and t»et<>ll», microtibning ail of tlrem. a work that took four years and the attention of innumerable library orientalists. Some of these literary gems, which represent neatly 3.000.<MH» pages, date back to the tenth century They are to he shipped shortly to China's National LHnary at Peiping. Not only were they sav-d from obliteration, but smee the Wethington Library had the films I copied, their c ontent* for the first time are mads- available to students of China. As a result that country will be better known and more deeply appreciated than could have be n possible had the manuscripts stayed at home. Under care of this nation has l>een the Uncotn Cathedral copy of Magna Carta, lately returned to London, and works of ail from many European counlri -s. Including tier man paintings and stained glass from European cathedral windows. The United States has honored iUelf bjr these acts of hospitality to the treasures of oth er nation*. And the fury of war has not lowered mankind completely to barbarism. ,

so due to trouble with the vasomotor system. Hence, the use of estrogens has been found to help the migraine in some patients. Foh lowing the change of life frequently the headaches disappear. Another Condition In some cases tbe woman during the change of life has an irritable bowel or mucous cOMtIS. This, toO. may he aided by the estrogens although other treatment such as proper diet is also required. During the change of life there are some alterations in the way fats and sugars are used by the body, which accounts for the fact that many women at thin time gain weight. Most of the excess fat is distributed around the shoulders, chest, hips and thighs. According to Dr. Owen, the only way to combat this excewtoe gain in weight is by tbe use at the proper diet. Certain nervMis system syintoms also occur at this time surh M worry, anxiety and fear, but these are not dependent on* tiny glandular changes. However, tbe glandular changes may make tbe person more susceptible to such Influence aa boredom. totocU»ew aad raU-FM/- ” '■ aw." *

Youth's Story Os Inheritance Hoax Efforts To Contact 'Heir' Are Fruitless South Bend. Ind. Feb. 20—tl'PI —A million dollars in Imaginary currency floated away from an exG. I'« dream castle today. Jack E. Love, 22-ycar-old university of Notre Dame student, admitted after a conference with university officials that he didn't inherit 31.000.000 from i rich uncle, after all. It was a hoax for which he was not responsible. lx>ve said. He told the univer«‘.ty officials that a prankster sent him the letter telling him that his great-uncle bad died and left him a fortune. The letter. Love said originally, came from a New York law firm. *'l even thought It was all a Joke when I gave out the «tory Monday," Love said today. He wax unable to explain why some of hie early statements failed to jibe with details he gave , later. "1 don't know why I gave a mistaken Im press lon ab<rjt my war record," Love said. At first ho said be held the rank of lieutenant in World War I. Utwr. draff ' spokesman Said he was « corporal Love explained the situation after beiag in dOclusiou for hours last nlgat and this morning. He wafi miming last night but university officials said early today that he was "sleeping in hie room " University officials said they planned no disciplinary action. Lova its a scheduled to appear at a university conference yesterday, but failed to appear. He was to have explained conflicting points in Ms story. Love mid a bachelor uncle left him "31.060,000 or maybe 31.500,000.'' The Mystery of the missing millions b-esme more confused when Love’s father mH that the “dead" uncle was living hi Livingston, Mont., and apparently in the beet of health. fin Munday, (he youth said he had been informed by a Nrtr York law flrm that his great-uncle Claude Logan, had left him bls entire estate of •f.WXffifi of 31,Yesterday, he ehang “d the snefe'e name from Lbgan to Love.

Love said be had eerv ed as an army Ifr-utenant during the tsar wnd *<a the purple heart for wounds received in Sicily Yesterday, hts draft board reported that Love find ben discharged with the rank of corporal after ten montba service in the United States. In Hagerstown. Love's fath-w said that he had received a letter from a New York attorney, simitar to one sent to bln son, reporting the 4ath of Claude Love. The letter contained no return address, he said, and stated mere ly that Claude had drowned Jan. 10 while on a boat trip from Awlira, Ore., to Tillamook. Ore. He said the body had not been recov ered. Love told newsmen, however, that be had hired a private inreetiflator to check the case, and added that. "The Investigator tells me be got a telegram from Claud”, who now is In Liv.ugston. Mom., and very much alive." He declined to diacnas the matter further, saying: "This is Jack's affair. Let him handle It from here.” Jack had told reporter* earlier that the letter, informing him of hl* Inheritance, had been misplaced. A study of death r -cords and tax commission files at the Washington state capital In Olympia disclosed no trace of a Claude lx>gan or Love, and puzzled authorities suggested that the will might have been probated elsewhere. When he first made public bis good fortune, Ix>ve said he was surprised to laern that he had heen named sole heir to the estate because bis uncle never had indicated that be intend-d leaving hie mohey to him. The youth’s father, however, »afd that the uncle had visited Hagerstown 13 years ago and, before leaving, had patted 10-year-old Jack on the head and paid: "YoMre a nice boy, and some day I'm going to do aoinethlng handsome for yon." ■—■ ■ - ■■—o - — Indiana Republican Convention June 13 Will Nominate 11 For Fall Election Indianapolis.
