The Symptoms of Colitis

By Herman N. Bundeter. M. 0. CRAMPING pain* in th* abdomen phi* diarrhea, plus loss ot weight, plu* fever, bftcu add up to regional colitis. Such symptom*, when they occur together, should be enough to *end the man or Woman who experience* them to th* doctor for a thorough examination. Any inflammation ot the large Intestine is known as colitla, but there are a number of different type* of this dlMordk-r and one may be more serious dwni another. For example, one sort, chiefly affecting nervous people, * called mucous colitis. Pain in Abdomen In this allmnot. there Is little Inflammation of th* bowel though there are such symptoms aa diarrhea alternating with constipation, and some pain. In the abdomen Regional colitis, however, is a different story. Here, there I* a great deal of inflammation tn various parts off the large intestine, and ulcers may form in the bowel. Diarrhea fla present, but rarely severe. Now and then, blood may be found 4n the stool. Cramping may be extreme There are fever and loss' of weight Lessening ot the coloring matter In tbe blood, or anemia, may be so marked that ft becomes necessary to give Injections of whole blood by vein. This condition may start in any part of the large bowel and then pass upwards or downward*, though the rectum, or targe port of tbe bow< is never The eotaflftloo atectv the right half or the bowel more often than the left.

Burton’* service la th* Senate led to his appointment to the United Staten Supreme Court Had Donahey run again, he might well have edged Burton out; and someone quite different might now be sitting on the nation’s highest Judicial tribunal.

However. the general plan Is to receive canned foods or money to buy It, for the poor and hungry of Europe.

Easter Is the celebration of the glorious Resurrect loti of Jesus Christ, the God-man who was crucified on Good Friday on Mt. Calvary. in fulfillment of His promise that He would rise from the tomb r,nd redeem mankind. All Christianity Is based on Christ’s death on the Cross and His Resurrection. Easter, the day of beginning new life, gives us that solace and confidence that man shall also rise again If worthy, inherit the kingdom of the Father Christiano absorb the Joy of Raster and take heart In Its real meaning, for it assures them of life everlasting. From pulpit and choir on Easter morning will come the glad tiding* of Matthew and Mark given to the world nearly two thousand years ago that man’s Redeemer ha* risen. It is the awakening of the spirit in man. the focusing of hope of a better world in the life hereafter that makes mankind Joyous on Easter, for “God’s in his Heaven" and "All’s right with the world”. We wish you a Happy Easter and all the blessings that come with the observance of Christianity’s most Joyous feast day. “This I* the day which the Lord hath made; “Let us rejoice and be glad therein!"

Operation Best Acordlng to Dr. Jorge deCastro Barbosa and bis associates of the Mayo Cllbic. the best treatment for regional colitis Is an operation and removal of the part of the bowel which is affected. However, before this operation is carried out the patient should be kept st rest and given a diet low In bulky material or roughage, with vitamhi preparation*, and with plenty of proteins such as meat, milk and egg*. If there is an acute Infection present In tbe bowel which is causing fever, one of the sulfonamide drugs such as sulfaguanidine or succinyl sulUihlaxole should be administered This treatment may. in some case*, cause the symptoms to disappear completely. However, the disease usually recurs and the recurrent attacks msy be even worse than the previous oees. Hence, operation to cure the disorder permanently la necessary. X-Ray Diagnosis The diagnosis of regional colitis Is made by X-ray. The outlines of the bowel seem fussy and distorted in tbe Ibray plate. Instead of smooth, as they are under normal conditions. Muccous colitis Is diagnosed by the rymptoms, and tbe presence of mucous in the stools. Persona who suffer from cramping pain in tbe abdomen, diarrhea and other symptoms suggestive of regional colitis should have a careful study made by tbe doctor, including x-rays of tbe bowel so that M accurate dlugnouL may be made. . _ * it« (to* *.*-Il ® ** <

EVERY ROAD BUT THE RIGHT ONE

Lenten Meditation (Rev. John W. McPheeter*, Jr., First Presbyterian Church) ‘‘ON THE CROSS" "Now when the centurion taw what had taken place, he praised Cod. and said, “Certainly thia man was innocent!” Luke 23:17 (RHV) Amid the taunt* and orgy of the crowd near the cross on which Jesus hung the centurion had stood for three hours He tmd Witnessed that Jesus had not struggled with his captor* Also this soldier had heard the seven words. And he admired Jesus for his endurance, courage and uncomplaining suffering A. crucifixion like this was something without parallel. Having heen with Jesus perhaps during the trial and being near Him now during the long hours on the cross the centurion recognized greatness. The more he had seen, the more he was convinced that ’’Certainly this man was Innocent!” Many of us have been looking for many years at Christ and how silent we remain! He IS the ’Way. the Truth, and the Life.’”

Modern Ettiqueite By ROBERTA LEE • 0 Q. When a young man has been introduced to a girl, would it be all right for him to say. “J am pleased to meet you"? A. No. Such phrases as "I am pleased to meet you” and “I atn glad to make your acquaintance" are not in good taste. The accepted acknowledgment is "How do you do?” Q. What is called a man's “duty dance”? A. A man should always ask bin hostess for a dance. Q. How are invitations to a bridal shower issued? A. The invitations may be made by note, telephone, or they may be given orally.

Then they were yours. I thought someone had planted them, when Neal said you’d been In Boston all the time,” I thought out loud. “1 beg your pardon. Neal did not say that," Valente corrected me politely in his precise English. "She carefully avoided giving Dr. Berwick such a definite answer, in the hope of keeping all of us out of this—er—unpleasantness. She only changed her mind and joined me in the opinion that it was unwise to keep things from the police when she heard Kennard had left his monogrammed cigaret ends all over your apartment. And as a result—here we are." "Yen, here you are," I heard myself repeat stupidly. “But—how did you get here? How could you be in New York Friday, when you'd gone to Boston with Neal Thursday afternoon?" Again Valente corrected ma "I accompanied Neal to Boston on Thursday. Kennard did not But—that's for him to explain. And I returned Friday on an errand for Neat She had forgotten a certain locket she always wears at her openings, for luck.

With my kind of luck it’ll put me in the electric chair, that’s all!" The—the electric-" I was so stunned I couldn't go on. Deane stopped at my desk. “Yes, the electric chair!
