PAGE EIGHT THE:DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE "~ THURSDAY, JANUARY 8, 1948 A Physician Advises You By HERMAN N. BEUNDESEN, M.D. PAINFUL BABY DISORDER THE child who suffers from the condition known as intussuscep- tion becomes suddenly, seriously, and dranfatically sick. Even though, as a rule, he is too young to describe, his pain, his mother will notice "that never before in his life has he cried so hard. Intussusception usually develops in well-nourished and healthy ba- bies between the ages of four and ten months. In this disorder there is a sort of telescoping of the bowel, which seems to take place most often when the child is being changed from a liquid to a soli diet. Thus, this may be one .of the causes of the condition, though it may also develop as an apparent aftermath to a bowel in- fection. Attacks of Pain The symptoms of intussuscep- tion consist of attacks of colicky pain, vomiting, and the presence of blood in the bowel movements. About three-fourths of the children who develop intussusception usu= ally have all these symptoms, and all of those with the condition have at least one of them. If, when these symptoms are resent, a lump or mass can be elt in the abdomen, a diagnosis of intussusception is certain. Often, thé lump may also be felt through the rectum. : Severe Symptoms As I indicated earlier, even the first symptoms are severe enough to show that the child is seriously ill. The condition starts suddenly either with vomiting or an attack of sharp, colicky pain which may last only a few seconds but which | returns at 10- to 30-minute inter- vals. Between attacks, the baby may appear well, but when the pain comes on again he grows pale, draws up his legs, and cries vio- lently., His pulse will be rapid and he may develop fever. As the condition - progresses, and the blocking: of the opening through the bowel is more complete, the child is pale, sweats, and may often go into shock or collapse. In making a diagnosis, it may be mecessary to give the child an anesthetic or drug to put him to sleep. This will relax the muscles of the abdomen so that an exami- nation may be carried out more easily. If such a procedure is employed, preparations should be made so that, if necessary, an operation can be performed under the same anesthetic. X-ray of the bowel will almost always reveal the ob- struction in the intestine. The treatment to relieve the condition is, in prhctically all instances, operation, QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS M.A: I seem to have a sensa- tion of pins and needles in my legs. What could cause this Audi Answer: The condition you de- scribe may bewdue to such things as disturbane®" of the cireulation, trouble of the nervous system, or disorder of the lower part of the spine. essure, such as from a tumor within the lower part of the abdomen, might be responsible. Hence, a thorough study by a phy- sician would have to be bat rd gl before proper treatment could be suggested. Graceful Swan GLAMORIZING * BY interesting herself in line and color, keeping up with the modes, using taste and discretion when se- lecting her sartorial draperies, any woman can look smart and well- dresesd. While it is a big help to have the wherewithal to buy what one pleases, it isn't necessary to have a fat balance in the check book. Some of the worst looking frumps have dozens of expensive frocks. They fancy that any item that costs a lot must be all right. But if one has the seeing eye and the seeing brain) one can find wearing apparel that will fill the bill. It is a matter of being choosy, and knowing one's figure, With a well-developed dress sense a woman will never make a mistake. No orphan frocks will be hanging in her clothes closet. No Extreme Models No matter what the styles may Fashion-wise Screen Star Ann Miller wears hats tha ? are both stylish and alluring, LJ On Being a Stylish Dresser E By HELEN FOLLETT t \ * , be, they can be applied to one's own | needs, The smart shopper will never fall for extreme models. Simplicity is a safer bet than a lot of fancy things. A woman is more import- ant than her clothes; she {isn't if she looks as if she were carrying a display of dry goods, The greatest error of all is to be over-dressed. The hairdo~and the hat @re very important. They should be neither too youthful nor too old. A shoulder- length bob, flying hither and you on the faded beauty is a good looks mistake, as is the severe upswept effect on a girl of seventeen, Selecting Hats Hats are still a problem, difficult to select. Many women have made sartorial caricatures of themselves by wearing millinery that is too conspicuous, without charm of de- sign. Then there are other detalls that Short of Butter? Try This Recipe Are you just about at your wit's end wondering how you're going to reconcile the price of butter and the amount the family eat with your family budget? Here's a recipe that shows you how to extend butter and another that's a good substitute for butter and will be just grand to put in those daily sandwich lunches. To Extend Butter 1% pound butter 14 cup cereal cream 2 teaspoons gelatine 14 teaspoon salt. Cream the butter until very soft. Melt.the gelatin in & cup with some of the cereal cream by standing the cup in hot water, When dissolved add salt and rest of cream very slowly and a little at a time. Beat into the creamed butter until all is absorbed. Form into a brick, Allow to harden in ice box. A Substitute For Butter 2 pounds pork dripping 2 cang consomme 1 tablespoon beef extract Onions Salt and pepper 1 envelope powdered gelatine. Melt the dripping on the stove till the two pounds have become one pound. While hot, pass through a sieve, mix. with' the consomme and beef extract. Remove from the fire. Add gelatine, well dissolved; strain; pour into teacups to cool in the re- frigerator, MINCEMEAT MUFFINS 1 cup cereal bran % cup milk 1 cup prepared mincemeat 2 tablespoons shortening 1% cup sugar 1 egg 1 cup sifted flour 3 teaspoons baking powder 3% teaspoon salt Combine bran, milk and mince- meat; let soak about 5 minutes. Blend shortening and sugar; add egg and beat well. Stir in the bran and mincemeat mixture. Add dry ingredients which have been sifted together; mix only until liquid and dry ingredients are combined. Fill greased muffin pans two-thirds full. Bake in moderately hot oven (400 degrees F.) about 25 minutes. Yield: 12 muffins (2% Inches in diameter), must be selected with intelligence --shoes that are not too fussy, smart gloves, costume jewelry. A well-dressed woman is a joy to the eye, For the sake of those who have to look at her, every woman should endeavor to appear her most attractive, Na hin oC SW \V (OUGH & (OLD By HELEN Blessed with a figure of normal weight and normal proportions, a dress designers. Let them tell her to pull in her waist, if they want to. It is already pulled in by stropg, healthy, resilient muscles. She must sport a facade, they say. That's all right, too. She has breathed .pro- perly all her life, so has a chest that is worthy of. the name. On the lifted chest, the breasts are high and firm. It is a great advan- tage to have a good figure that is as great a beauty asset as a lovely face. No girl wants to be a flat prairie; no girl wants to be too hilly, If she pays heed to good eating habits, gets plenty of sleep, loves outdoor life, pumps her lungs full of ozone, chances are a girl will develop nor- mally have good lines. But there is one thing to keep in 1nind: even the most perfect shape will show de- fects in time if the rules of health are not kept to the letter or if its owner pays no attention to carriage. Perfect posture is a health aid; it is impressive. It denotes spirit and self-respect. It helps to create en- ergy. So cultivate the habit of keep- ing your backbone fully extended, your head on the level, tummy flat, You will gain a reputation as a smart drésser--if you have not al- ready got that reputation. The cut- est frock loses style and lines if it is not worn with splendor. Good carriage guarantees that alr | is drawn into the lowest cells of the lungs, which peps up the blood streams, alds digestion, brings good coloring to the cheeks, The re- BEAUTY FOR YOU -- ~ ' Figuring Figure Faults woman can give the merry laugh to- JAMESON It was not intended that the ab- domen be sent forward.

AMPBELLS FLOUR FOR LIGHTER - MORE TENDER PIES, CAKES AND PASTRIES ) Young women who were in the service during the war discovered the splendid benefits of setting-up exercises. Spineless bodies found that they had backbones after all Chests that were flat suddenly took a lift. Walistlines became smaller as the musculature of the mid-sec- tion became stronger through cor- rective exercises. Good posture and calisthenics are the enemies of the adipose tissue that is the despair of almot all women who have pro- gressed past the fortieth birthday. Many young girls; assuming snake-like pcses in an effort to look like a photographed ladies in fash ion magazines, are ruining their figures.
