With photo bulbs, box-camera snaps can be taken at night tmir«n in a few minutes, and the GOOD baby pictures are easy to take Indoors, with plioto lights, --provided you follow a lew simple rules. Probably the chief difficulty. In Indoor shots. Is that your subject likes to crawl about--and thus gets away from the spot Illuminated by your photo lights. There are two •imple solutions for this. Either give the baby a toy to amuse him and help him "stay put," or else place him where his movements are restricted. For example, in the crib " or play pen. Here is a simple routine which win help yon get better baby pictures Indoors. First, load the camera with high speed film. Pick a suitable spot for the pictures, and arrange your photo lights for a soft, diffused lighting, with no harsh shadows. A No. 1 and a No. 2 "flood" buH> in cardboard reflectors, four feet from the subject, are correct for box-camera anapehota on high speed film. Turn on the lights before you place the baby. Put him In position-- give him a bright-colored toy or one that makes a noise--and start shooting. Wind the film immediately after each shot, so as to '""be ready for the next pose or change of expression. A whole series of good pictures can be best expressions will usually com# within that time. Five minutes is long enough for the average se» sion of baby pictures. A fast camera is an advantage in taking these pictures. Use a shutter speed of 1/50 second, with f/8 U»M opening, or 1/100 secont at i/6.3--and you are more sure of a sharp picture, even if the baby moves slightly at the moment of exposure. With a fast lens, yon can also take indoor pictures by daylight or sunlight coming through a window. The baby picture above was takes in that manner. An f/C.S or f/4.1 lens is fast enough, if you use high speed film and a 1/25 second shutter speed. In the picture above, the bedspread acts as a reflector, throwing light into the shadows. This fa desirable, as there should be no harsh, black shadows in a baby pictnre. Every parent should have a tlB album of baby pictures, tracing the child's growth. The mtoe of these pictures you take, the easier it is to take them, because you gain a bit' of experience with each shot. And a complete record of the baby's early life--especially that first year --is a precious thing . . . one thai, yon will always treasure. John van Guilder .

JAMES W, BARTON UNTIL just a few years ago, gas was thought to be due in all cases to the foods eaten-- onions, cabbages, lettuce, peas, beans. More rec e n t l y , i t was thought that in the great majority of cases gas formation and pressure was due to a sluggish liver and gall bladder. Many cases also are believed due to fermentation of protein foods--meat, eggs, fish. It is now agreed that many nervous or excitable individuals, (those who eat their food hurriedly, sw&liow quantities of air during meals and particularly if they use much fluid -- tea, coffee, milk or water -- during meals. Dr. Walter Alvarez, Mayo Clinic, who for many years has done much original research work on the stomach and intestines, says in the Ohio Medical. Journal: "For reasons yet unknown, some persons swallow much air as they drink. A 'dry' dinner will sometimes give a much more comfortable night." "Among the other causes of flatulence --gas--are: food sensitiveness-- being allergic or sensitive to some particular food or foods such as eggs, wheat, berries; a plug or hardened waste matter in the rectum or lowest part of large intestine, which forces gas back up into small intestine and -even into the stomach; nervous excitement before, during and after eating; oil, which while lubricating the wastes, seems to cause gas pressure, and any substances added to laxatives in order to add bulk to the wastes." Walls Are Strengthened. Despite the formation of gas caused by these bulky substances, such as agar, most physicians believe that this bulkiness distends the bowel and causes the muscles of the bowel to squeeze harder on the mass of waste and so prevents constipation. The bowel is kept in a better condition of health if its muscular walls have something that causes them to contract or squeeze upon the wastes. The walls iiv crease in muscular strength lav this work or exercise. As mentioned before, if the gat from the stomach or bowel is witlW out odor, it is considered as beinf swallowed air. If odor is present then gas is due to one or more of the conditions above mentioned. • • • Removal of Gall Bladder T HAVE spoken before of the pa»' * tient who underwent operation for ulcer of the stomach expecting that all his symptoms would disappear, never to return. He was greatly disappointed when his physician told him that if he didn't stop worrying, eating rapidly, and not getting enough rest, he would likely "grow™ another ulcerl Operation for ulcer of the stomach is not now so common since it has been found that the pa* tient's "personality" is usually the underlying cause. Drs. E. L. Eliason and J. P. North, Philadelphia, in Annals of Surgery, report their followup study of 264, cases from one to four years aftetf operation. They found that only $ per cent (16 cases) were not re* lieved of the symptoms for whichthey underwent operation. In four other cases the relief was delayed^ and in others the symptoms com-, plained of were not due to gall bladder disturbance. Cases Are Investigated Now 6 per cent is not a large percentage to fail to get relief after removal of their gall bladders, but Drs. Eliason and North investigated these cases and found that in half of them (8) there were no gross: or outstanding evidences of gait bladder disease at time of operation, but in the other half (8) the" surgeon found a diseased gall bladder with stones yet the patient was not helped by the removal of the gall bladder. The explanation is that sometimes conditions other than gallstones can give similar symptoms, "since many, gallstones are 'silent' ones." The lesson here then is that, despite the mistakes physicians may make and the inability of a patient to properiy describe his symptoms, practically 19 of every 20 cases undergoing this operation obtained relief from their symptoms. For those, then, that are suffering; with gall bladder symptoms, especially those with the terrible at-! tacks of gallstone colic, the fact that operation gives relief to such a large' percentage should not only allay, their fears of operation but should ? : give them great hope of obtaining immediate relief and keeping free from symptoms thereafter.
