Look for these informative articles every Saturday. WW "Wl Chronic gastritis Is a common disorder. It is a chronic inflam matory and congestive condition of the mucous membrane lining the stomach with a breaking down of the secreting glands and thick ening of the membrane lining of the stomach walls. Digestion is imperfect, and the taking of food is more or less promptly followed by greater or less distress. Chronic gastrltld is nearly ill ways an advanced stage or- the result of oft-repeated attacks of acute gastritis. Dietary indiscre tions are nearly always part of the history. Excessive use of hot nrcads, hot cakes, pie, too much tea and coffee, etc. One of the early symptoms Is an excessive activity of the acld sccreting stands of the stom ach. Therefore, a chronic over acidity of the stomach contents is a warning sicnal of approach ing chronic gastritis. The over se cretion of the glands becomes a chronic condition ann" even with small meals there will he an ex ' cess of gastric juice nroduced. At the same time the mucous glands begin a protective over activity to prevent the walls ot the stomach from ulcerating or dices!- ing themselves, and the result Is is an pvr-csslve production of mucous. This leads to a ireneral f?!ing of d'scomfort and ful'ness. There may be a sensation of burn ing after food has been in the stomach for short time and sd called "heartburn" may be pres-1 cnt. When the stomach is emptied, these symptoms will be reduced in intensity or may entirely dis appear to return with the next in gestion of food. As the disease progresses In severity, these symptoms will be come more marked and more con tinuous. Frequent belching of sour gas and even occasional spells of vomiting sour tasting stomach con tents will often occur. Later the vomiting and nausea may become more continuous. The appetite may one day be excessive with the person unable tn secure sufficient food to satisfy ard the next day he may be unable to eat anything with any degree of comfort. Fermentation rather than digestion occurs in the stomach, which increases both the amount and acidity of the stomach con tents with gas. A certain amount of bile regurgitates or Is vomited making the stomach contents very bM'er. The victim of chronic gastritis as a rule has a chronic headache, the tonuue is coated, he loses wei'ht. the sky dry and pale col ored. E'ther as a cause or as a result, there mav be liver compli cations, kidney troubles or ateri it disturbances. Diabetes or anemia P"v be associated with this t'i- lease.- i T's disorder Is usuallv brought on by Imoroper diet and the best preventative is eating and living so that the affliction does not dc- , velop. (Pd. Adv.) the 6 per cent limitation are: Umpqua, $4,013: Roberts Creek, $1,452; Myrtle Creek. $13,975. Actual election of district board memiicrs mis year is compounded because the 1955 Legislature enact ed a law requiring second and third class districts to have five member boards instead of three, as in the past. That affects all but seven of the districts, so each of tne smaller districts this year elects at least three new direc tors for three, four and five-year terms. In some, resignations have made elections necessary lor lesser terms. -Nine persons have filed for of fices in each of two districts, Ump qua and SuUierlin, and eight have filed in Yoncilla, All incumbers have filed for re election in the rural and non high school districts. J. Weston Sroit, Tiller, is run ning for a position in the non-high district, and that position will be voted on in the Tiller district. Guy H. McGee, Canyonville. and George Wilcox.
