WEDNESDAY, KUGUST 11, 1948 + THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE - 4 PAGE SEVEN A Physician Advises You By HERMAN 'A, BUNDESEN, M.D. DIFFICULTY IN SWALLOWING For most of us, swallowing is a smooth, automatic procedure. Some people, however, are afflicted by periodic attacks of difficult swal- lowing due to a condition known as cardiospasm in which there is a narrowing at the lower end of the esophagus or tube which leads from the mouth to the stomach. While its exact cause is not known, spasm of the muscles of the esophagus is thought to be in part responsible. Actually, there is no difficulty in swallowing. What real- |. ly happens is that the swallowed food lodges at the narrowed point in the tube instead of passing on- ward into the stomach. In the early stages, the attacks come on at infrequent intervals, and there may be long periods when there is no trouble. In the begin- ning, liquids, especially cold ones, cause more trouble than solid foods. Gradually the attacks occur more frequently and become more severe until finally the patient cannot take any food with comfort. Patients themselves sometimes discover certain measures - which seem to give relief. For example, they may stand and drink large quantities of fluid which forces the food past the narrowing portion of the esophagus. Others seem to be able to put pressure on the esopha- gus by taking a deep breath. Still others find that they can manage by taking only small amounts of food at a time. However, many find that the only way to get relief from the discomfort is to vomit the food which is lodged at the lower end of the esophagus. Some patients lose a great deal of weight and strength because they do not get sufficient food into the stomach. It is fortunate that this disorder can be relieved by stretching the contracted area. This is done by passing a tube into the esophagus. At the end of the tube, there is a bag which can be inflated or blown up or filled with fluid. When this 1s done, the esophagus is stretched, and usually one or two treatments suffice to bring permanent relief. Of course, the symptoms which occur in cardiospasm are much like those which occur in tumors of the lower end of the esophagus. Hence, it is important in all cases that an X-ray examination be carried out. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS L. H.: What causes excessive gas in the stomach?

The right scent, properly used, is an integral part of woman's glamour, and glamour is the first requisite of the lady of fashion. For a long time rose was consid- ered old fashioned. Now it is here again, as befits the quaint styles that have been dug out of the past. It is supposed to be the breath of romance, the most potent of scents. It belongs particuarly to the brun- ette. Blondes should select garden- ia, lily of the valley, jasmine or any of the more delicate aromas. Fruit Basis Do you know that there are scents with a fruit basis; orange, peach, cherry, which, when blended with floretted essences, are devas- tating? There are oriental offerings that are woodsy, characteristic of the outdoor world. It is nice that every woman does * not ¥ke the same perfume. It would | be pretty dull if the whole world of | women carried the same perfume, One of the joys of wearing your fa- | verite is because it makes you feel | different from your sisters. It in- vests you with a little mystery and | a touch of -excitement. Nearly every woman has a pet idea as to how perfume should be used. Some put it In the curve of | the arms, others place a few drops | back of the ears. In the old days it was rubbed on the back of the hands because hand kissing was a custom. Whatever you do, don't put it on your hair, especially in warm wea- ther. A little exercise in the sun- light will cause the glands of the scalp to be over active. The cham- | icals. laid upon the flesh will | change the character of the per- | fume, and not for the better. When | going to a dance, put a few drops | on the hem of your skirt. [ Hollywood | WHAT SHOULD I DO ABOUT Highlights} Using My Dead Husband's Name? By BOB' THOMAS Dear Mrs. Beeckman: The girls in our office are having a debate as to whether or not a widow sliould continue to carry her husband's first name after his death. In other words, should she use the name "Mrs. Mary Smith" or "Mrs, John Smith"? And please tell us in what cases. Hollywood, Aug. 10®(AP)--To- ronto-born Raymond Massey, here to play a "Sympathetic Villain" in "The Fountainhead," observes that he nearly always plays heavies on the screen. "In nearly all of the 200 plays I've done, I've performed sympathe- tic parts," he said. He can't explain it. D. V: "hen her husband dies, a widow should make absolutely no change in the form of name she used (or should have used) when her hus- band was living. And most particu- larly in her sccial relationships. That is, her formal name is still Mrs, John Smith. .. this is the, namo she should use on her visite ing-cards or informals; the name to whch mail should be addressed to her; the name she should use to send packages to herself from gal with radio, records, etc.--and | Stores and so forth;. the name she A heavy schedule of film music- als will keep Esther Williams work- ing for a full year.

CORNELIUS BEECKMAN use in her telephone-listing, in club lists, in church membership. Her informal name is, of course, still Mary Brown Smith (or, if she prefers, Mary B. Smith, or Mary Smill, if she wishes to use an ini- tia] for her maiden surname or drop it entirely). This informal name is her signature: for example on letters to persons she doesn't know very well, or her direct signa- ture to business letters; her signa- ture on her cheques. (Never, NEV- ER should she sign a letter, any kind of letter, "Mrs, Join Smith" or "Mrs. Mary Smith.") In other words, if she uses her name correctly, she never uses so- cially that tabu, "Mrs. Mary Smith." However, if she is a busi- ness or professional woman she may prefer to use "Mrs. Mary Smith" in her business or profes- siona] life, but Ger formal name, rs John Smith," in her social ife. Here the correct signature -for a widow to use to a business letter or a letter to anyone who must be informed of her forgagl name: Very tr yours, Mary Brown Smith (Mrs. John Smith) yo a Housewarming a. In a New Apartment Dear Mrs, Beeckman: I would like to have a house- warming soon ... perhaps I should say an "apartment-warming", for my new home is an apartment. (1) What is the best and usual hour to have it? (2) How should invitations be given, by telephone or by infor- mdls, or how? (3) How much ad- vance notice? (4) Who. should greet the guests? (5) What menu would you suggest fog about 30 guests in a not-large apartment? (6) If gifts are brought, should I open {hem, or put them aside and open them af- terward? S. N. (1) The time most often chosen for a housewarming, because of its greatest convenience to the great- est number of people, is Sunday (or Saturday) afternoon, either four to seven or three to six (or seven). (2) Invitations may be given by telephone or, better I think, by notes written on semi-note paper or on' visiting cards or informals. Very conveniently the new address may be engraved (or written) on visiting cards or informals (and on informals, the new telephone nums« ber may be written also on an in- side page). (3) Send these invita- tions out at least two weeks before the date ..: earlier if it is a season when your friends are apt to be especially busy with socia] engage- ments. In other words, give them all possible opportunity to "save" the date. (4) Invite several of your friands, those most gracious and socially alert, to be deputy host- esses: tg be stationed at the door to weld®me the guests. and direct them where to leave their wraps, and to preside' over the refresh- ment serving, either at the tea= table or dining-room table or buf- fet service frem the kitchen. (Have each one on duty only one hour of the party, so that the rest of the time they can circulate) Having these social-helpers will mean that you are free to receive the guests.

Nearly always she has a low, sweet voice, the reason for that be- | ing that she has poise and an air of distinction. If there is anything wrong with a woman's complexion, watch her make tracks to the beauty shop or the eosmetic counter. Does her pre- cious wool start to moult?

Should she notice that last year's frock just won't zip because she has added half an inch to her equator she cuts down on fat build- ing foods, gallantly does her daily exercise. But what about her voice? Per- haps she is not aware of the fact that it assaults the public ear. It may be high pitched or squeaky. She may run her words together, or it may be just a dull, droning, life- less delivery. There is no reason why she 'should remain so handi- capped. Let her watch her words. She will cultivate resonance and pleasing tonal variations. Singers and public speakers are | taught to breathe properly. Shallow breathers usually have expression- less voices. If you suspect that your conversation is not as musical as it might be, stand before an open window every day for ten minutes, inhale through the nostrils, exhale through the lips, filling the lungs with all the air you can pack into them. When exhaling force out the stale air, cleaning the lowest cells of your breathing bellows. This exercise will put color in your complexion. It will tighten abdominal muscles, if they have gone slack. As vowels are the keynotes of words, it is a good practice to re- peat them slowly. Say a, e, i, 0, u clearly and with fairly long spaces between them. Use precise vocal efforts. This will keep you from slurring your words. You can make an exercise of it. Before saying each vowel take a long, deep breath, lifting the chest. Stand erect and tall, hands on the hips, abdominal muscles drawn up and in. With this posture deep breath- ing is easy and ---atural, SET BUILDING TARGET London -- (CP) -- Britain will build approximately 200,000 houses in 1949.
