These nuisance-makers are in reality enlarged vein* When located at the point where the bowel meeta the akin surface, they are known as external hemorrhoids Internal hemorrhoid* are found in the lower part of the rectum These may become so enlarged that they protrude through the bowel opening Just what produces hemorrhoids is not known; it has been suggest ed that straining, when emptying the bowel, may be a contributing cause The symptoms consist of pain when external hemorrhoids are present, together with the presence of some blood in the bowel movement. The treatment, of course, depends upon the type of hemorrhoids and their severity. Some pa tieots are improved by relieving soostipation with a diet containing plenty of fluid* and a few bulky foods and avoiding stimulants such as alcoholic beverages and highly-seasoned foods Mineral oil mgy he taken with benefit.

The decision was j i tailed a concession to city traffic! I < ondltlons For years automobiles have been growing steadily long'jer, for two principaJ reasons , Other things being equal, a long car rides more smoothly than a short one, and the sweeping lines of added length have been preferred for the sake of appearance. Among disadvantages of length are that a long car is harder to maneuver in traffic or on winding roads, needs more room for turning, needs a bigger parking space and more room for getting I Into it. and needs a longer garar,«* 1 The final decision on tne length , of a car is a compromise among these considerations. o o Fewer Farmers: The Census Bureau reports, as one result of a population check, that the farm population is still losing to the cities. Agricultural areas have lost population held their own. or made at best slight gains, while the large gajns were made In all cases by industrial areas, accord mg to the report. This condition | reflected in the next full census, may change the urban-rural balance in Congress. With the utilization of modern farm machinery, less labor Is need 1 ed. Thus far no alarm is reported as to the ability of the remain Ing farmers to feed the growing industrial population

Operative measures are employed in the more severe cases of hemor rhoidr. which may protrude througt the bowel ojienlng and In whicl there is recurrent bleeding In carrying out the operation. I» is important to prepare the patien' prior to the operation by the us> of enemas, and a diet low in rough age but containing plenty of fluids After-care is also important in minimising pain and discomfort. In she caae of external hemor rhoids. particularly when a blood clot has formed and produces pain the usual treatment is operation J However. If the pain Is not severe I and begins to subside, oneratio* may not be necessary and the treatment dene ribed above may be used It Is Important to ren*mber that bleeding from the reettgm may br produced by conditions other than hemorrhoids. It may be a symptom of a tumor Hence, whenever this symptom develops, thorough study by the physician should *e carried out Once the cause for the bleeding is found, proper treatment may ibe immediately employ nd. If the ' difficulty is due to hemorrhoids, the physician also will determine exactly what form of treatment will be most useful. QUESTION* ANO ANSWER* J. ii.: What causes adhesions after an operation? Can they be cured without another operation? Answer: Adhesions are due to the joining together of different parts of the bowel by tlssae-like scar tissue Up to ’he present Hate so curt i-r 44U»;:*s U49* cj»m&*'

CHAPTER FORTY-SIX LYNN SHIVERED. Poirot paused, letting the words "If Roaaieen waa to die" sink in, then went on: “The thought ot death, her death, passed through every mind —ot that 1 am certain, bid the further thought ot murder pass through also ? And did the thought, tn one particular instance, go beyond thinking and become action . . Without a change of voice he turned to Rowley: “Did you think of killing her?** "Yes," said Rowley. "It was the day she came to the farm. There was no one else there. 1 thought then—l could kill her quite easily. She looked pathetic—and very pretty—like the calves I'd sent to market. You can see how pathetic they are—but you send them off just the same. 1 wondered. really, that she wasn't afraid . . . She would have been, if she'd known what was tn my mind ... Yes, it was tn my mind when I took the lighter from her to light her ctgaret . . “She left it behind, I suppose. That's how you got hold of IL” Rowley nodded. "I don’t know why I didn’t kill her," be eaid wonderingly. "I thought of it One could have faked it up as an accident or something.” “It was not your type of crime," said Poirot. "That la the answer. The man you did kill you killed in a rage—and you did not really mean to kill him. 1 fancy ?" "Good Lord, no. 1 hit him on the jaw. He went backwards and bit his head on that marble fender. 1 couldn’t believe it when I found be was dead.” Then, suddenly, he shot a startled glance at Potrot: “How did you know that?" "I think,” said Poirot, “that I have reconstructed your actions fairly accurately. You shall tell me if* 1 am wrong. You went to the Stag, did you not, and Beatrice Lippincott told you about the conversation she had overheard. Tharsupoa you went, as you have said, to your uncle's. Jeremy Cloade. to get his opinion as a sUicttor upon the position. Now , 'thing happened there, something that made you change your mind about consulting him. I think I know what that something was.

He w nt down as I said.” There was a pause. Poirot said: “And then?" “It was the lighter," said RowIcy slowly. “It fell out ot my pocket. I'd been carrying It about meaning to give it back to Rosateen when 1 saw her. It tell down on the body, and 1 saw the initials, D. H.

When boss were hard to get. tak Ing anything was understandable, but now consumers have a chance ■ to be discriminating In the choice of hosiery Too often color is the first I consideration in hosiery buy ns and little or no thought is given to where the box* are to ba worn ■ or how serviceable they will lie By i finding out the denier and guage of the hose, one can determine to some extent their wearability. The weight of the nylon yarn de termines the denier number The lower 'he denier number th» more sheer are the hose and the less wear they will give Fifteen or denier hose are for evening or | dress up occasions but the service- ■ able hose are 30 denier Guage is determined by the needle count or number of stitches to every inch-and-a-half The high er the gauge number, the more closely knit sre the hose. This will give strength and resistance to snags Hosiery buyers say that it Is "nonsense" for the sales person to I sell < sheer hose on merits of wearabili y. By the same token, it is ’ nonsense ' for women to buy sheer hose and expect them to wear Very sheer hose are luxuries and are ' not meant to be used for hard every-day wear j To cut down on the hosiery bill j and get longer service from each ! pair, learn to know and ask abou | denier and gauge Light on Color In considering the use of fluroes< ent lumi* in the home, the com :nent is something made that colors do not look natural under this newer type of lighting. The explanation la that fluorescent lamps and the more familiar Incaudescent lamps have a different effect on colors Fluorescent tubes cast a cool, blue white light, which emphasizes the coo) colors, like blue green, ihd tones down the warm colors. In contrast, incandescent bulbs give off a reddish-yellow light, as i oil lamps and candles do This Intestifies the warm colors such as red. orange and yellow, and dulls the cool colors. When choosing rugs, curtains or other furnishings to be used with fluorescent lamps, this difference should be borne lu mind Man) l*«s>ple like cool fluorescent light i in ; in kitchens and bathrooms es pet ially because of the dean, j crisp look it Impaits But for dinI ing or for (he living room where a : warm intimate evening atmosphere is desired, the warm tones that suggeat candlelight and the glowing hearth are easier to achieve witl. i incandescent lighting Pennsylvania leads the nation in 150 major industries, yet has a billion dollar farm industry.

But 1 do not go on being the mug forever—no, 1 am not the mug now, am I?” He looked round angrily, then went on: "But then. Major Porter went back on that arrangement. He does not care Io be a witness upon oath tn a murder trial, and the strength of the case against David Hunter depends very largely upon the identity of the dead man. So Major Porter backs out." “He wrote me he wouldn't go through with tt," said Rowley thickly. ’The weak foot Didn t he see we'd gone too far to stop ? 1 camo up to try to drive some sense into him. ? was too late. He'd said he'd rather shoot himself than perjure himsetf when it was a question of murder. The front door wasn’t locked-1 went up and found him. ”1 can’t tell you what I felt ii.ca.

Might as well go the whole bog The note was to the coroner. It simply said that he'd given perjured evidence at the inquest. The dead man was sot Robert Underhay. I took the note away and destroyed IL’ Rowley struck his fist ran the table. "It was like a bad dreama horrible nightipare! Id begun this thing and I’d got to go on with it.
