Vomiting is associated with ulcers. Very often this relieves the sufferer because, it is thought, the offending acids are eliminated. Frequently the patient will vomit blood, particu^ larly if the ulcer has progressed to the point where it obstructs the exit of the stomach and if it penetrates a blood vessel. Because of the characteristic acute distress, the ulcer sufferer is susceptible - to every "cure-all" in Health Talk. Thus guodenal guaranteed to relieve an alleged ulcers form .the vast group of 11M3 W. Irving Park Road. They will make their home in New York City, where he is manager of an insurance firm.

CORN HARVEST •» Rapid- progress is being made in harvesting the Illinois corn crop, and excellent drying weather has lowered the moisture content of the corn §o most of the home of her grandfather, Dr. 1 it is fit for cribbing, according m. Hepburn. I to the state and federal depart - Mr. and Mrs. Ben Walkington tnents of agriculture. The indithe so-called "stomach ulcers." An ulcer appears like a clean cut or piinched-out hole in the lining of the stomach or fie duodenum. Just why ulcers c/fcgur is not known. Many theop^s have been explored, but tha/most accepted one points tcv^ome interference in the digestive process. The stomach secretes substances which help to digest food. Included among these substances are an acid called hydrochloric arid a substance called pepsin, Pepsin is involved with the digestion of a group of foodstuffs of which meat is a principal item. It.is believed thai the, acid and probably the pepsin, in some chemical process, cause the ulcer. Since these two substances are normally present in the body, just why the ulcers occur in some persons and not in others is not known. Emotional and mental- strain, anxiety, and tension are all considered factors, but the exact underlying cause for the loss of the stomach's protection against digestion. by its own juices is not known. An N ulcer may develop at almost any age from infancy to old age, but the greatest incidence of ulcers is between the ages of twenty and fifty and in men more than . women. Most ulcers seem to occur and recur in the spring and fall, giving the victim little cause for complaint in the summer months. Symptoms vary in the ulcer victim, but the most characteristic one is the acute abdominal distress, which takes the form of a gnawing, bumming or aching pain. The distress disappears almost immediately after a meal, but - returns after two or three hours when the stomach is empty. Very often the distress indigestion. This can be dangerous, for the habit can lead to self-medication and self-diagnosis, which are hazardous procedures. As time goes on, the ulcer can increase in size, accounting for greater and more prolonged pain, which, of course, makes it more difficult to control. A thorough physical and x-ray examination are necessary for diagnosis of the type of ulcer, the location and the area affected. . Medical management and proper dietary measures are commonly successful in iontrol- Jing ulcers. It is only in the complicated variety of stomach ulceus and those presenting special problems in treatment that require surgery. , How can an ulcer be prevented? Until more information is established concerning the cause, sane hygienic living seem the chief protection against the development of an ulcer. r i : i i a L-. by Marie Schaett^en RECRUITING HOURS T h e United States Marine Corps wishes to announce that its recruiting office at the post office, 326 N.

Hayes, president of the Chicago Motor club, has urged civic groups to attract youngsters off the streets on Hallowe'en Eve with community functions. To stop children from playing in streets on Halloween Eve by police methods is nearly impossible, Hayes said, but channeling youthful high spirits into other less destructive channels is an effective answer to this problem. In many communities, Hayes pointed out, school sponsored bonfires on Hallowe'en night have been a tradition for years. The P.T.A. organization of each prizes are awarded for the best costumes. The climax of the evening is a huge bonfire in the school yard. Programs such as these have been effective in communities where they •iiave been tried.
