Relief for Annoying Pain

By Herman N. Bundesen, M. 0. XEAIiLY all women suffer manor b->- discomfort during the regular periods, but there is one group lit particular who are to Im- pitied because of the agonizing pain which the first day of this event bring* with it. Completely fm apa< Itated for at leant one day out of each month, they aometiinea find it impossible to keep their Job* or to maintain a normal outlook on life because of thin constantly recurring illness. Such women need treatment and fortunately much can he done to aid th- ’u The • .•««*•• fhelr severe pain I* not known but it I* believed to lie due to spasm in the muscles of the womb. When these muscles contract and damp down, their constriction cuts off the normal blood supply and pt.in is the consequence. The Three Groups Dr. Aleck Bourne of England reports in Practitioner. June, 1916 that lie has divided women into three groups according to the type of pain they undergo at the time of the periods. In the first group are the women mentioned above i whose pain occurs immediately after the begiuuitg of the period lu the secoud gloup are those who have much leg.-, severe pain, which

will try to enact legl*latlon to prevent any one serving an preel dent more than eight years. Every one will agree that la long enough I when conditions are normal but when the nation la In a real crisis It might not prove too wlae. After all no one can serve longer than hl* term without being reelected and If the people want It that way, they probably should have the right to decide. 0 o— — The Community fund is going to be successful and those lu charge and the youngsters and the public In general are deeply appreciative for the splendid re spot.se. The quota of 111 4<H will he met and a little over-sulHcrihed. assuring the various welfare organizations Included In the listing. <>f proper support the coming year. It's wonderful to live In a city wfi-re au<h a response to so worthy a cauM la made iu ao .-holt a period. i—— o~ 0 •• Said a well known clergyman recently: "No Pilgrim Father stayed home from the Thanksgiving service with which Bradford started America's Thanksgiving Day tradition. December 13. (Old Stylei 1621. But only one person in 60 is expected to turn out for this year's Thanksgiving service in the town where Thunk-giving started At that, Plymouth's turnout will probably be above the national average for in this century Thanks g.ving has been secularized into ■in occasion for turkey and football games. o 0 Recovery in Exports It is pleasant and reassuring to re.id -tattered evidences of world I recovery, with our own country at the head of tile procession. New American fa< tories are rising in many lands, scattering benefits both at home and abroad A rather typii.d American plant reports heet fully on contributions It makes to world recovery, along with its own obvious prosperity. It is a very busy plant, and its < rders are going all over the world. During the war it lost money on domestic operations, but made it up abroad, aud since then it has gone steadily ahead. Some competitors say they don't like to have their investments scattered abroad, but the head of the plant referred to says that never, e|th<*r during the war or since has be l ad any trouble in getting money out of any other country. "Foreign trade is pleasant and successful." he reports. "Business people around the globe respect and admire Americans, and the language barrier Is no block at all. That companies don't do more with exports and imports can be put down to the fact that they have- plenty of domestic business to keep them occupied." He regrets, however, that more American business is done with the Russians. More general exchanges would make them less suspicious and easier to get along with. Trade is a great national solvent.

lasts for the entire duration of the period. They also may suffer from headache and backache as well as a feeling of sickness. The la*t group are those who have pain for a few days before the period starts. Patients in the first group are said to have spasmodic dysmenorrhea. Dr Bourne does not believe that such things as exercise, out door life, and building up the nutrition will bring much improvement In these patients. In younger girls such drugs a aspirin may give relief for a time. Belladonna which serve* to relax rmmle spasm is sometimes of great help. He has also found that treatment with gland extracts is not much help. Gain in Weight Occasionally it will be found that some of the patients seem to show a marked gain In weight before the |*eriod due to retention of water in the tissues. Giving Injections of a glandular extract from part of the pituitary gland during the week before the period starts may sometimes be helpful in these cases. When painful periods are presI ent. there is need for a careful study by a specialist to determine the type of disorder present as well as it* cause Tnen ths most effective treatment may be utilized.

CHAPTER ONE r THOUGH SHE knew he didn’t, 11 it seemed to Lydia that he fol- > towed her over the frozen earth i of the golf course every morni:.;. ; For the six days that she had been I at the mountain inn she had I walked a few holes after breakfast I because there was nothing else to 1 do and out tn the searching wind 1 she felt better. With the exception i of the two couples who continu- 1 ously played bridge, the few peo- t pic at the inn all seemed to share her mood of willful isolation. Perfectly well people living accelerated lives in this busy era did not seek an obscure mountain retreat in the in-between season when it was too cold for golf and there was no snow for skiing. There were reasons why they were all there and they were not, she had deduced, happy reasons. She had to qualify that, she thought this | morning, because the two women who played bridge with their husbands were going to have babies; months ago their husbands had I planned their vacations for Noi vember and they were all almost boisterously happy about future events. As for herself, she was also simply on vacation, her first in the year and a half she had I worked as a chemist In Baltimore. | She was tired of routine and con- ; centration, tired even of social and scientific conversation, and the ; two weeks were not enough time | for the arduous trip west to see | her family. The inn, recommended by a friend at the plant, had been the perfect solution for her need. From the high knoll of the fourth tee she glanced back to ace if the captain was still walking behind her. She was disappointed when he wasn't and she saw him going back toward the inn. limping on hfs '■ane One did not have to guess about him. One did not have to guess very much about a man in uniform with a marked limp ami with service ribbons on the blouse below the two silver bars on his shoulders. She dug her hands deep into the pockets of her old fleece-lined brown leather Jacket. She had come away with so few clothes and those relics of her university days —only the leather Jacket and a few sweaters ami skirts and long woolen socks that still left her knees exposed to the cold. Now she tossed her almost straight, almost shoulder-length black hair away from the wind and began to walk back, her brown leather moceasins making no sound on the hard ground Now it was as if she was following the captain. Eh" thought, and she wondered If , he were as conscious of her as she had been of him since he had come to the inn three days ago. She had seen him first when he had come in the dining room to lunch following Miss Beard, the stater of the inn-keeper. In the large dining room that was filled to capacity in summer only a few tables were occupied now and Miss B*ard and her brother, tactful, warm-hearted people that they

When Miss Beard had < c.ie I with the new guest and I. i-l | walked in Lydia's direction. Ly had thought that the c.ip'.a n would occupy the empty chair at her table. Here was a content rary, a person of her time. Ev-. n though she had not gone to war, she had felt herself keenly a part of it. Every boy she knew lad been in it and some she had known quite well back home would nc. r come back. Moreover, the captain was tall and fair with str< ’ shoulders and wit. a face not only handsome but arresting. She had felt a queer little sh when Miss Beard had passed I. r table and led him to an unoc> up one where he had sat with hi. back to the other guests. An I since that noon three days a;' » : had continued to sit with hta b.i.d: to the other guests and to i r knowledge had not spoken to any one. So that Lydia's interest I t had to be satisfied with only th back of one of the finest head, surely ever made. Now, reaching the Inn. she hurried inalde to warmth, but a gla: ■ Into a lounge told her that ti? bridge players had placed th l table directly before the inviting fire blazing in the large stone fit — place. One of the young won f looked up over her cards an I smiled complacently. She would go to her room, Ly l: i thought, ami write to Wade as always wrote to him. lightly an amusingly and with her tongue her check. A transport pilot an also a captain, he was due in any day now from India. She could his square brown hand pick tip her letter along with Inntimerah! others from Innumcrnbl* oth r girls. Mercifully those nebul ■ "other girls” did not concern her any more. She and Wade were friends. Her mouth curved when it occurred to her that Wade had probably r.-ver known a girl if 3 hta life before who was only a friend. So absorbed was she in her own thoughts that she failed to noti that the captain had come in, presumably from the porch, ami wagoing up the winding stairway With a start she looked up an I saw him, her deep-set, almo’--black eyes narrowing at the effort it must be casting him to stand so erectly and at the humiliation and pain he must feel that he ha to take one step and stop before taking another.
