The Puzzling Problem of Kidney Stones

•y Herman N. Bundesen, M. 0. I ONE OF the moat puzxling of Htill unsolved medical problem* bar to do with the formation of a certain type of kidney atone*. Stow* which form in the kidneys may he made up of various substances tout, in the main, they are composed of one or the other of two mineral aalta, phosphate* or •relate*. Now the why and wherefore of phosphate atone formation i» pretty well understood and for this reason doctors have had no little nuaeess in preventing their recurrence. On the other h and cause* of oxalate atone formation remain obscure. ’ Two Kind* of Stone It I* aureed. according to Dr*. Harold Jeghrr* and Rosemary Murphy of Boston, that infection* and blocking of the Sow of urine, ao important in producing phosphate atone*, have no eSect In producirg oxalate atones. With these obvious cause* out. doctor* have tried to discover whether diet might perhap* play some role In the formation of this moat common of all type* of kidney pt one*. They noted that oxalate atone* are of much more frequent occurrance in the people of certain area* of the world than in those living elsewhere. From thi* it Is *ugnested that the use of a diet high la oxalic acid content may result in stone* of th!.* Mod. Among Meh flood* are: beet top*, Swiss chart, parsely. rhubarb, spinach, dried flgs, cocoa, chocolate and seUtin. Wack tea and ground pepper are also rich in omUc acid.

The couauy will apt like the "Inflationary Joyride", which trema evident is view of eoogreM* rflpt-, of the price control act Once the strings are cut itSl we have to pay a daily increasing price for everything we buy. the economic structure will go to pieces. We should take our lesson from the experience in foreign countries, where inlaUon got to the point that money wasn't worth more than baled paper History's greatest story, the Agony of Christ in the Garden. His crucifixion and death on the ('roes, was retold In sermon, prayer and religious devotions in Catholic and Protestant churches during the Three Hours as the faithful gathered to observe Good Friday Jesus Christ in the plan of the Heavenly Father, gave Illa life to redeem mankind and make salvation possible. The world needs more of the spirit of sacrifice and love if it is to progress. -0 Congress la causing so much confusion by its rebellious voting on the draft, induction of teenagers, price control, farm subsidies and the OPA. that the av< rage perron does not know from day to day what is actually going on. A vote take yesterday is changed today and so many amendments are added to proposed law-, that chances are the congressmen ( themselves don’t know what they are voting for. The whole procedure seems to be a hodgepodge of politics, with little chance of anything being settled. Maybe the Easter vacation will help < lear the Washington atmosphere. -0 We admit that we are among those who don't know much about the high financing of railroads and operation of these great enteririses. but from what we read about this man Robert Young, fw head us th'- A 0.. he has taken on the big wigs of the transporta Hou business. Young is an independent in the railroad industry and w bother he a trying to get where the tycoons are. or 4* sincere In revamping methods, his attack on century-old tactics is not subtle. The banking and railroad interests are watching his two-fisted fight against the House of Morgan and other Wall Street operators.

quently tn which the diet employed ic low in oxalate*. m» there is nothin* conclusive about this observation. Again experiment* were carried out In which malate atones were produced In rats or. a diet low In magnesium. However, whether or not lessening of the magnesium content of the diet In human beings may be a factor in oxalate stone production is still nos known. Nevertheless, a diet ha* been suggested which it Is thought may be helpful In preventing kidney stones made u*» of calcium oxalate Thi* is oae mai« ip of plenty of calcium, magnes' is and phosphorous, out tew in oxalate-rich food*. It should c ontain also plenty of whole-grain foods, a variety of fruit* and vegetables, excluding those mentioned above, milk, butter, meat and meat broth. If neeeasary, calcium and magnesium preparations may flat used to supplement the diet, ft I* also suggested that Increasing the intake of vitamins A and B-complex. and a lessening of the starchr* and sugar* In the diet may also fee of value. Some things are certain, constipation should be eliminated and worry avoided as much as possible. From S to 10 glassfuls of water should be drunk daily. Question* and Answer* R.

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN < I CONSOLED Claire, and my- 1 self, by saying. “Oh. whet's the dis- , sere nee! It'll ail be forgotten in a , week or no. Besides, It could be 1 worse. Look what they did to poor J little Polly!" Claire tell for the balL “They ( rare had themselves a time with , jim." she agreed with an involuntary chuckle. "Wonder how the < joor boob liked the allusions to the ( color ot his dressing gown.* It really was a shame, the way Jhe press had pulled the little couurter to pieces. But then, his antics nad invited ridicule. His childish rewntment at being dragged out ot jed. and the blithe presumption with which he’d kept the police waiting, were played up In the aridea about him until his whole estimooy became a farce. His every mannerism was recorded. The references to his lavenle* dressing gown—it hadn’t been lavender, but blue, patterned with *ed and gold -left noMng to the rnaginatioa. His apartment—heaven only knew bow the press had gotten keto it—was described as 'aybarttic" and "decadent* And. is Use last indignity, the account in two of the largest papers ended, "And thia reporter learned from a pot-beUted Oriental servitor that Jis master had fortified himself for the ordeal of meeting a few real tve policemen with a breakfast of caviar! The finest Master get at Maison Gourmet,' said Chu-chin-thou, or whatever his name is." Poor little Polly! TU run over and try to be nice o him. I want to aak him somehing anyway,* I told Claire. And tuickiy made good my words. But I was back almost at once. Polly’s Chinese factotum, corectly described as pot-beUied, said, ’Master tired. Can see nobody* vith a ferocious scowl, and dammed the door in my face. It was what I should have expected. After reading the Sunday •apers Polly probably regretted lothing in his life so much as hie acceptance of Margot’s invitation ’or dinner in my apartment. Also, >« second thought, he wouldn’t lave dropped his father confessor attitude and answered the queaions Td meant to ask him—about Brenda Knight—if he had let me in.

quickly suppressed grins, each lime his name was mentioned. But they made it clear at once that they had no intention of bothering me again with questions, ana had only stepped in to tell me 1 needn't go to the district attorney's office to make a formal deposition. It would be taken here at the apartment or in my office, one of the next few days. A little later, over the cocktails Claire had mixed with consummate skill, they thawed still further, and Inspector BArry told us, in confidence, the approach to the investigation would be different, from now on. It seemed some one “higher up" had decided there had been too much publicity of the obstructing kind—or could it be that Mr. Pearce. Sr., had pulled some important wires?—and letting the press In on the ground floor, so to speak, had been a mistake. At any rate, from this day os "secrecy" was . . be the slogan, and a reporter would have to be clever Indeed to get Into the house past the law, disguised as "doormen." "You’d have had a couple dozen up here early this morning ifCharley Bywater hadn't shooed em aWjgy,** the inspector assured us with twinkling eyes. "We know it Rosa entertained him for breakfast," Cai re informed him. “Who arc our other protectots?** -DeUctives L* Goldman and Mike O’Brian," the inspector told her. "And I'm adding a fourth, to guard the service entrance. Jan Prepelski. One of the best men we have on the force." "That’s England, Palestine, Ireland and Poland protecting us. Hurrah! Aren't we important!’’ Claire boasted with a grin. And then we went on to more serious matters. I handed my report to the inspector and repeated my statements of the previous day for Mr. Wortlcy's benefit. Claire did the same, and when we were through I led the whole bunch into Neal's room to show them my great discovery: the cut in the rose-colored pillow. "Do you need it as Exhibit B, C or D?" I asked. They didn’t think so. The cut made It clear that Margot had snatched it up in defense rather than by accident. But beyond that It was of no importance, as the soft materia) wouldn’t easily show finger prints. Besides, they could always ask for it if they wanted IL “Keep it for the time being," was the general verdlcL I didn’t share their opinion of the pillow’s unimportance, but I didn t feel this was the right moment to air my convictions. And so I thanked them, and asked their permission to have the slash repaired by Rosa, wbo’d assured me she could fix it "good like new.
