a EIGHT THE WINDSOR DAILY STAR, WINDSOR, ONTARIO, SATURDAY, APRIL 3, 1943: PAGE New Progress Is Reported in Treatment of Stones in Kidneys Must Be Injected Through Cystoscope But This Is Still to Be Preferred to Operation; Search for Something to Dissolve Them Has Gone on for Centuries By LOGAN CLENDENING, M.D. ONE of the oldest, most persistent and long-lived of mankind's wishful hopings has been to find some remedy which will dissolve stones in the body and therefore obviate the necessity for an operation. It is easy to understand why hope should be born over and over again in the mind of every new victim of a gallstone colic or kidney stone colic. But the fates and nature are against the likelihood any such medicament being discovered. After all, a stone is a stone and therefore it is not AS easy to dissolve as human DR.

CLENDENING flesh. If you had a stone in the palm of the hand and attempted to pour an acid or any other chemical on it which would dissolve it, do you not think that the chances of dissolving the skin on the palm of your hand are going to be better than dissolving a stone, and that the skin would go while the stone was still intact? ORAL REMEDIES USELESS Such remedies have to go through the mouth, which itself has a very delicate mucous membrane which would get scorched, into the stomach and be absorbed into the blood and tsill, when they reach the gallbladder or the pelvis of the kidney, they must be strong enough to destroy the stone. To revert once more to my favorite quotation this subject: the Duke in "Huckleberry Finn" had a remedy to remove tartar from the teeth. He said it would, too, although it removed the enamel along with the tartar. But nobody needs to be ashamed of harboring this hope about dissolving stones.

It goes back to the very dawn of time. I have before me a little book published in 1741 called "An Account of the Remedy for the Stone." This remarkable example of man's gullibility describes the discovery of 8 woman named Mrs. Stephens who was referred to as being of a gentle family in Berkshire, although what Lenten Reducing Diet Sunday and Monday750 Calories BREAKFAST 1 universal vitamin pill; grapefruit-100 calories; 1 rusk -no butter-100 calories; 1 cup coffee (no cream or sugar).

that has to do with it, I don't know. She was awarded 5,000 pounds by Par- liament for this remedy. DESCRIPTION VAGUE The description of the remedy itself leaves a good deal be desired in the way of exact information. The unto account says that it is a sort of soap dissolved in a decoction of diuretic and carminative plants, but such vagueness is usual with quacks when they describe their remedies. However, a partial answer to man's old plea for a method of dissolving the stone has been given by two Boston physicians.

I report is as an example of medical progress, although it will not do you any good in the sense that it is something you can take by mouth and make all well. It must be injected into the pelvis of the kidney by an instrument, the cystoscope. It seems to work very successfully and is obviously more desirable than an operation, especially for large stones. So we may have some expectation at leasts that progress is being made along these lines. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Q.

Is it desirable to have the radio going while the family of growing children are at meals? A. No; it is hardly possible to have a quiet, happy family meal together with the radio on, except, perhaps, for very soft, quiet music. Sugar Allowed for Canning In 1943 in Trust to Housewives Questions and Answers Guide to Application for Special Rations; Must Be in to Local Ration Board by April 15 Home canning takes on a new importance this year. It rests with Canadian housewives to make the fullest use of Canada's fruit crops for wartime food. Any sugar allowed is in trust.

It is patriotic to conserve our home-grown products, for food is today a weapon of war. Housewives are urged, however, to estimate their needs as accurately as possible, remembering that sugar comes to this country at the risk of sailors' lives. They are asked also to estimate in advance the amount of sugar required for canning and jam-making, so that arrangements may be made to provide and distribute the necessary supplies. The following questions and answers have been prepared by the Wartime Prices and Trade Board in co-operation with the Department of Agriculture, as a guide for the housewife in making her application for sugar for the canning season. 1.

-Where should I send my application card? your local ration board. (In Windsor, 369 Pelissier street.) 2. -When should I fill out my application? soon as possible. Your application must be in the hands of your local board not later than April 15. can I estimate the amount of sugar I require for canning? the total number of quart sealers you plan to put up, then allow lb.

of sugar for each quart sealer. how can I tell exactly how much of each kind of fruit. A. -That would be impossible. Don't try to decide exactly the amount of each kind of fruit you will put up.

Some fruits may be more plentiful than others. Base your estimates, rather, on the number of sealers you have on hand, on what you put up last year, on what you think your needs will be this year. 5. I also want to make some jam and jelly. How shall I estimate my sugar for these? and one-half lbs.

of 1 sugar for each quart of jam or jelly. TO ESTIMATE -But most of my jam or jelly jars are of various shapes. How can I estimate how many quarts they, hold? the jars you usually use for jam or jelly and see how many cupfuls of water they hold. Four make a quart. If they will cups hold 20 cups of water, for example, will require sugar for five you quarts.

-How do I list card? these amounts 1. on application will notice that your application card reads: holder of Ration Book make application for pounds of sugar for canning and jam and jelly making. This will make. quarts of canned quarts of jam or jelly." You will fill in the blank spaces. You will also fill in the blank which asks the number of persons in your household which will be feed- To Be Married April 24 Fresh From the Kitchen Mary By Moore Substitutes For Meat Suggested Should Be Used Twice Weekly, at Least, for Economy's Sake OCCASIONALLY I have to lay my program to one side and give you the recipes that accumulate and don't seem to fit any of my preconceived plans.

This group seems to have a common theme, though, of being rationconscious. It has been pointed out to us by our sources of information at Ottawa that while meat is not rationed. and you may be able to get it in your is still your duty to economize, and meat is an expensive food. Because you can afford it and because you are in the habit of eating it and because you can get it are not enough reasons for using it every day for dinner; that surplus money should not be extravagantly spent--replace meat in your meals at least twice a week with dishes something like- Corn and Cheese Souffle Four tablespoons fat, 4 tablespoons flour, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 cup each milk and grated cheese (tightly packed), 4 egg yolks, 2 cups corn (or use a whole 20-oz. tin), 4 egg whites.

Melt the fat and add the flour, salt and pepper. Add milk gradually, stirring until thick. Add grated cheese and stir until melted. Pour this hot mixture over the beaten yolks, stirring fast, then add the corn and mix well. Fold in the stiffly beaten whites and pour into greased casserole- not fill it more than two-thirds full.

Ovenpoach in a moderate oven of 350 deg. Fahr. until set right throughabout 50 minutes. Serve at once. When talking to the manager of a packing plant this week he told me that Canadian public could be persuaded to use tripe more be had cheaply and plentifully.

Now, I am of English tripe was used in our soup when I was a child. My mother used to make what we now call pepper pot, and many of you eat it without knowing it in a wellknown brand of that kind of soup. Tripe is delicious food -but you must know that it nas to be precooked for about hours to make it tender enough to make up into the various recipes such as tripe fried in batter, or creamed tripe (the old-fashioned Scottish and English method of serving it), or casserole of tripe and onions, etc. The following recipe was given to me by the wife of a Scottish squire and is believed by the whole clan to be fit for kings. Creamed Tripe with Onions (Contributed by Scottish Lady) Two pounds honeycomb tripe, 2 tablespoons each fat and flour, 2 cups hot whole milk, 1 teaspoon salt, teaspoon pepper, 2 medium onions.

Soak the tripe in cold water 4 hours. Scrub it clean (clean tripe is always sold by butchers--it is seldom that it needs much cleaning). Cover with cold, salted water. Bring to boiling point, cover, reduce heat and let simmer hours. When done there should not be much water left on tripe--so do not add very much water toward latter part of cooking time.

Drain and keep tripe in cool place until ready for use-it will not keep over 24 hours out of the refrigerator. Melt the butter in saucepan and add the onions sliced saute them until they are transparent and slightly golden, then sprinkle over the flour and stir until smooth. Add the milk slowly, stirring, and bring to boil. Add salt and pepper and tripe. Keep stirring until mixture is hot, or heat through by pouring into top of double boiler and heating through over boiling water.

Serve on hot platter garnished with toast points on which it may be served-and garnish generously with parsley (which on account of its high vitamin content should always be eaten -war days are no time for pushing aside garnishes). Good Sandwiches Without Butter One cup ground leftover roast meat, cup hot water mayonnaise, cup each finely chopped tightly packed parsley, cup finely chopped outer celery stalks, teaspoon salt, 1-16 teaspoon pepper. Spread on 100 percent whole wheat bread -the hardest-working war worker will say this makes a delicious sandwich and will not complain about it being dry. Try to include something green such as lettuce or celery, or ground carrots, or parsley or cress in your sandwich fillings every day if you are packing lunches for war workers. Green food is "must" daily.

Cocoa Syrup This syrup is good used for the cocoa-coffee beverage described below or for hot cocoa or for chocolate milk. One cup sugar, 1 cup water, 2 saccharin tablets, 2 squares cooking chocolate, or two-thirds cup good quality cocoa teaspoon cinnamon is optional). Mix together all ingredients and cook over low heat until syrup is smooth and well blended, covered. Over very low heat it requires about 15 minutes. VARIATIONS: A good beverage may be made by using the above syrup in combination with leftover coffee (reheated) and hot milk or hot water and cream.

I know a family who use coffee for their Bachelor Cook Offers His Own Pudding DEAR MRS. MOORE: Received your ever so kind and welcome telegram and must say with thanks for a still better suet pudding. Yes, Mrs. Moore I received your telegram on my birthday at about 11 a.m. It came just in time as I had a kind of a pudding neatly made SO your welcome recipe saved the day.

As I read your recipe I saw there were three articles I did not have in the mixture- cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg. Since rationing came in it is hard to get what a person wants to make a pudding anything else. So now I will tell you just how I figured on making my pudding my birthday pudding, and please don't laugh--me being a bachelor and you a great cook I would have been very glad to have you come and make me a real pudding as you know me being English I never like to pinch my tummy at any time. Now I think it was very nice of you on the short notice you had to rush me your recipe and by telegram too not many women would bother to do it. When you write to me tell me when your birthday comes and I sure won't forget you.

I am enclosing a snap of myself and garden so you will see the lot of canning I will have to do this year providing I can dig up enough sugar to do it with and maybe some of your good recipes on canning fruits will come in very handy if it won't be too much trouble for you to send me a few if you have them handy as in times as these we can't know too much can we? Now I must tell you how I made my pudding: Suet Pudding Joseph W. Law 72 years March 1943 Three cups flour, 1 cup white sugar, 3 cups chopped suet, 3 eggs, cup currants, cup raisins, teaspoon salt, 4 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, teaspoon each ginger, cloves, nutmeg, 1 cup sweet milk. (I used sugar in place of molasses). Mix all throughly tie up in cloth and steam 3 hours. Oh had 2 nice size apples in it too and I use sweet milk and cream instead of sauce and it sure was very nice, but I believe the receipe you wired me will be still better after we can have more butter.

So now I will close for the present hoping you will enjoy reading same, wishing you every success, Jos. W. Law. ANSWER- Thanks for the picture of yourself and the perfectly beautiful garden. I can't make out what kind of plants are in the row you are standing beside, but by the look of the plants and the general 100 percent weedlessness they will bear marvellous products.

We will endeavor step with the changing times--and as each fruit season comes will give our help in canning the fruit with what we have to work with. I shall be glad to hear from you any time you need cooking help. Air Force Club Party on May 3 The Women's Air Force Club has plans under way today for a mixed card party, be held in the C. H.

Here for Week-End Furlough The Bride Learns to Cook Variety at the Breakfast Table would you like to have the same luncheon day in and day out? With the question in mind consider breakfast and the monotonous thing it can become.

For many, orange juice starts the day right but even they might be tempted by a change. Halved oranges with sections cut out, tart and sweet canned fruit juices, applesauce and baked apples, cold fresh grapefruit, sliced peaches or berries when in season, stewed fruits all add variety and interest to the first meal of the day. If -your day starts best on cereal foundation, try alternating between the cooked and ready-to-eat types. Slice bananas or sprinkle berries over your corn flakes, a little extra fruit never anybody and the combination is wonderful. Have you ever had brown instead of white sugar on your cooked cereal? Even the faithful egg has much to offer in this problem of variety.

Of course soft boiled, scrambled and fried are old stand-bys, but a nice poached (dropped) egg with warm milk is an inspiration on a cold winter morning. Unless your husband is rabid on the subject of his morning bacon he might enjoy the variety fried ham or sausage have to offer. With more experience, screw up your courage and offer him griddle cakes or French toast. And in the bread field, there are bran muffins, corn muffins, whole wheat muffins, blueberry muffins, etc. and popovers.
