Operation for Ulcer

By HERMAN N. BUNDHEN, M.D.

MEDICAL care and strict adherence to a special diet are usually enough to calm an ulcer. But . sometimes they aren’t. That means you’ll need an operation, and several types of 1 surgery ean be performed to get rid of the ulcer. In a gastric resection, a segment of the stomach is removed, particularly the portion ot the stomach where ulcers tend to form. From one-third to twothirds of ths stomach may be taken out. Acid Secretions The surgeon also attaches the second part of the small part of the small bowel, known as the jejunum, to the stomach. This " prevents the acid secretions of the stomach from reaching the first part of the duodenum. where ulcers alsd-tend to > develop. Following such an operation, food is not retained long in the remaining section of the stomach. but passed quickly into the small bowel. Schedule Your Meals Consequently, if you undergo a gastric resection, you must eat smaller meals at more frequent Intervals. Your stomach, naturUU. nt bold m murh wboo

Twelfth night and the end of the Christmas season. Firemen and police officers will be on hand to guard against accidents. 0 0 James Hilton, 54, noted author and screen writer, died this week at Long Beach, Calif., from cancer of the liver. Among his many best sellers was “Lost Horlxofi” in which he brought out the idyllie happy retreat known as "Shangri-La" referred to by President Roosevelt who, when General Doolittle flew his 25 planes from an aircraft carrier and the president was asked where the planes had been based, replied "Shangri-La." The story became the most widely read of modern times in five continents. At the time of his death, Mr. Hilton was making plans to bring “Lost Horicon" to the Broadway stage. 0 0 The future looks bright tor Decatur. We approach the new year with lots of optimism. During the last year, several new churches have been constructed here and several’ others have undergone remodelling; a new and progressive school building expansion plan is underway. How better can a city build than to first take care of our spiritual needs and the educational needs of our children. Decatur merchants are prosperous because almost all people of this area demonstrate their faith and pride in Decatur, and trade right here at home. Hundreds of new homes have been built in the last few years. What better demonstration could we have of faith in a community; what better proof could we have that Decatur is a fine, prosperous city. Lpt'a all continue to have faith.in Decatur and Decatur always will be the greatest little city in the middlewest.

A. Please do not offer any tip to the stewardess, the airlines having rules against this. — t « (Household Scrapbook I | BY ROBERTA LEE | »- e Inexpensive Polish Use equal parts Os raw linseed oil and turpentine.

Earache When the child complains of earache, tiy giving it a liberal dose of castor oil. This may seem an odd remedy, but it very often cures the earache within a short time.

its capacity has been .reduced by from one to two-thlrds. You should probably follow the diet I outlined for you Wednesday. In another surgical procedure, gastroenterostomy, the duodenum is also "short-circuited" by connecting the upper portton of the stomach to the jejunum. • Another Method There’s another method, too, ' ot relieving you of an ulcer. In this, the ulcer is simply cut out and the openings sewed up. But this is only a temporary measure, since the area where the ulcers usually form is left In the stomach. < . So, you see, one way or another, you tan usually get rid of • troublesome ulcer. » QUESTION AND ANSWER W. M. C.: I am a diabetic and have been eating rolled oats for some time. Is the oatmeal too warming to the blood? f . Answer: There is no such thing as a food being warming to the blood. However, if you are suffering from diabetes, foods rich In carbohydrates, such as oatmeal, should not be eaten In large amounts. Your physician will plan your diet for you. In order to control the dlabetis condition.

BYNOHtUI Ace lensman, Charles Gratton, 1» assigned by a big pis magazine to photograph a hawk-migration in West Virginia. “Red," a friendly local forest ranger and his little white dog Cnnrm, scconipanying Gratton to a lonely watch tower far out on the mountain. Through his binoculars. Gratton discovers someone. also using glasses, watching him from an opposite slope. Suddenly a golden eagle swoops Into view, hovering awhile, then returning as though ' by signal, to the person on the oppo- I site peak. During the night. It occurs to Gratton that the person who d been watching him. migfn nave been at- 1 tacked by the bird, so next morning: i he and Red. still accompanied by Charm, do some scouting. chapter Your THE ROAD was almost as nar- ' row and just as winding as the fire 1 tower road but it was hard-topped. 1 At the gap on the summit the fog was still hanging low but I squirming a little novy and we I could see the usual sediment of i beer cans and paper plates that 1 indicate people consider a place a i beauty spot. There were tracks ' where cars had pulled off the road i to enjoy the view of one sort or i another. There was a path disappearing into the mist. There wasn’t" i any car. •„ We let Charm out to snoop around and we lit cigarets and settled down to wait tor the tog to clear. The setter puppy came back every tew minutes, just long enough to make sure her beloved Red was still there, and then limped off again—a little white, long-eared phantom shuttling in and out ot the fog. sijust before eight the fog began to move off, or more nearly, clear pockets moved m as the breeze picked up. 1 took my binocs, though it seemed useless in the fog, and Red led (he way up the path that climbed the shoulder ot the mountain with Charm making scouting expeditions on either side. We had gone about fifty or sixty yards when the path got steeper and 1 could feel the jagged surface of the rocks under my heavy walking shoes. Wind was carrying the mists away in great gobs now. Further on 1 found some dirty white fur and bones down in one ot the crevices, probably carried there by some animal, and a tew feathers that could have been from a farmer’s flock ot Leghorns, but nothing human. “Rea, I'm satisfied there's no one lying up here. If there was, we'd see him." "1 think you're right." "I'm beginning to get the rather unpleasant idea we re looking in the wrong place. If a man had been knocked off his feet by that eagle or lost his balance trying to dodge it he wouldn’t be here on lop." Red looked down over the side and got' a tight expression about the mouth. I kept my eyes carefully on the point of rock 1 was holding to. , 1 couldn't say where he'd been standing, even if he’d still been here when the eagle made his dive. We decided to start with the base of the rocks on the east slope, partly because it seemed to be a little more exposed, partly because when I saw the eagle diving it seemed to be headed tor that aide, and wo had to start with something. That meant going back along the path till we found a place to climb down near -the southern end of the formation. By this time the fog was rising high 'above the narrow valley in puffs of cumulus that seemed to x float. tn ’the sunshine. / Copyright. 1304. by George

Senator Wiley Says Eisenhower To Run Leaves No Doubt Os Opposing McCarthy ' WASHINGTON (INS) — Sen. Alexander Wiley told Wisconsin Republicans today that President Eisenhower will run and win in 1956, and warned sternly against "some people’* who might try to widen the split in the GOP. It was the first major political

When we got to the base ot the cliff Charm began nosing around with her usual enthusiasm while Red and I tried to visualize where a man would land if he'd fallen. The big rocks strewn along the base of the cliff made it difficult to cover the ground efficiently. Some of them had mature trees growing on them with long tendril roots reaching down for nourishment. Charm was enjoying herself more than 1 was but 1 tried to keep up with Red as we moved along. It happened without any warning, not. even a shadow. Just Charm’s frightened bark, like a twenty-gauge, and then her screams. Red got around the corner of the boulder ahead of me. The big eagle had her down, smothering her with enormous half-folded wings, the long fiat head scowling and .extended like an obscene snake. There was a golden sheen on top and down the hackles on the neck, and the dark horn-colored beak kept opening and closing on thin air. Its feathered legs were spread wide in an awkward angle, one yellow foot the size of a man's hand completely covered Charm’s face, the other clamped her over the hip joint and seemed, to. be trying to stretch her into something longer. 1 don't think Red broke his stride. He was into the bird, kicking it—trying to keep the wings out of ms face. 1 got my nanus on a piece ot branch and was doing my best to beat it over the head without hitting Red. He had kicked it loose but It seemed more intent on getting back at Charm than attacking us After one more hovering, flapping lunge al what lay on the ground the eagle became air-borne and veered off. When 1 turned 1 could see why Charm had stopped screaming. 1 tried to tell Rod she never knew what mt her, that it had been over 'so suddenly she hadn’t suffered. Both ot us knew better. It seemed to me the wind still carried the echo ot her cries. 1 did my‘'Lest to get Red away from ner but he insisted on gathering up what was left, wrapping it tenderly in ms jacket. 1 led the way back to my roadster, trying not to see ms eyes. ■ ' As I watched, the bird soared toward the side ot the nigh point on Third Hill mountain to the south, then as It it bad-received a radar impulse It turned, locked to the target-and bored in. 1 decided it was another slaughter, more raw meat tor that huge crop. But as 1 followed it in, /he big wings back-beat like a duck settling onto water and then 1 saw it alight op the outstretched arm, of a slender figure. It was too far away even with these glasses, to be certain but again there was that feeling it might apt be a man. It was tn pants or jodhpurs and this time there was something 'about the shape and the way it moved—almost too graceful. It did something to the eagle’s head, stroked it, maybe even fed the thing—l couldn't tell. It was sickening to see the big bird perched there as quiescent as a stuffed owl after what 1 had seen it, or another one just like It, do. While 1 watched, the figure walked away into the woods still carrying the tiling as if it were a baby. , I turned to tell Red but when I saw him just sitting there in the caj waiting with his bundle in his l Evans and Kay Evans. Distribut'd b

statement by the senate foreign relations chairman since his colleague, Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy, jarred the Republican party with a bitter attack on President Eisenhower. Wiley left no doubt where he stands in any showdown between the President and any other Republican. lie concluded: “I’m for Ike . . . Wisconsin is for him; America is for him." Wisconsin’s senior senator declared that Republicans can elect a GOP congress “alongside Ike Eisenhower” in 1956 if they enact a constructive program in the next two years.

lap 1 couldn't hurt him any more. He didn’t seem to be aware of it when I got in beside him or when we started the trip back down the mountain. When we came tn sight of his jeep at the crossroads be spoke for the first: “If you don’t mind—rm a little sick of hawks. 1 hate to <>Qil your—" “Forget it. I’m driving . you home." "No. I’d rather be alone. Our Uet-rUte.” s "All right, Red. If you prefer. As long as I’m here 1 may a* well try to get enough pictures for a story though God knows 1 don’t care much about it now. Let me have the key to the tower. I’ll mail it to you before 1 shove off for New York." He handed it to me without speaking. “And, Red, thanks for your help. 1 wouldn’t have had this happen for anything." His big grip J squeezed the knuckles ot my hajnd. As he drove ofi, the seat behind . him seemed terribly empty. ' Getting the Jag up over the rocky road to the fire tower was 'a deal 1 hadn't accounted for. At the worst oi the turns 1 bad to back and take them in two stages. By the time 1 pulled into the clearing at the base ot the metal tramewe.k the radiator was boiling and 1 was convinced that low-slung sporU cars belong on paved highways. 1 got out my Leica and assorted junk, pul the package of sandwiches they'd fixed tor me at the inn m the saddle pocket of my bush jacket and climbed the seven tiigiits to the top. It wind meant hawks 1 was going to see plenty, tor it nearly tore my hat off while 1 unlocked the trap door to the tower cubicle. Inside, it was pleasantly. warm and cozy with the wind shut out. Several shapes moving out of the north took my attention. Even 1 could tell they were hawks. I tried Co keep a record like the one Red kept yesterday but 1 soon got confused. I could count them, but aside from the butterfly sort of flap-and-sail, flap-and-sail action that Red said was a sharp-shin, I had to guess at most species. In a couple oi hours my record allowed 214 sharp-shins and 4 ospreys. There ware three or four hundred others, al) of which were lost on me except one I was sure was a red-tail from the color of his tan. 1 gave up on my counting but 1 shot yards of film—deciding to let some of my birdy tnends identify them for me after 1 got back to New York. Toward noon it quieted down, as if the hawks were knocking off for lunch. I’d found myself looking over at the clearing on Third Hill all morning when 1 wasn’t busy with the hawks, It suited me fine that it was empty. I munched my sandwiches and thought oi all the possible kinds the inn could have packed tor me instehd of ham and cheese and 1 wondered what it would be like here later on with the trees bare and the woods full of trigger-hap-py deer hunters. 1 stopped munching and looked at the four glass walls—thin air to a high powered rifle bullet. I told mysolf the hunting season wasn't open yet and went on chewing. (To Be Continued/ >y KuU Features Syndicate. ZffiE
