PAGE FOUR HEPPNER GAZETTE TIMES, HEPPNER. OREGON, THURSDAY, FEB. 27, 1930. DOCTOR JOHN JOSEPH GAINES M.D. TEETH PEPTIC ULCER If you suspect that you may have ulcer of the stomach or its imme diate vicinity, there are certain us ual symptoms which may confirm or dismiss you conclusion, accord ing to whether they are present or absent. If your distress, whatever it is, comes on at least two hours after taking food even later is the rule this points to ulcer. Some are nauseated, some have actual pain, some become distressed by gas. The point is, the distress comes on when the stomach is empty, or nearly so; and the'JeaSofl for this is, the ex cess of acid in the stomach reaches the surface of the ulcer, and sets up anything from gastric spasm to boring, burning pain, nausea, sour stomach, as well as many minor symptoms always with an empty stomach, long after taking food. This furnishes material for the second diagnostic material for the this: Eating something gives tem porary relief in almost every case of peptic ulcer. When a patient comes to me with such evidence, I am led to suspect ulceration. The food relieves by absorbing the ex cess acid which causes the pain takes it up much as the blotter takes up ink on paper. And a hyper acid condition is present in simple ulcer of the stomach. Taking "so da" relieves so many acid condi tions that it is of lesser value in pointing to ulcer. Capable X-ray, of course, clarifies the situation. My first requirement in ulcer is SOFT diet and my reason is plain: if you had ulcer of the palm of the hand, you wouldn't rub it with half masticated radish, celery, fried . meat or potato and expect it to ever heal. No raw fruits, or acid fruits, except possibly juice of sweet orange, sparingly. Soft food always. No overloading. Never make a business of wash ing out the stomach, once ulcer is accurately diagnosed. Ulcers resent "prodding." WHEAT GROWING POINTERS I wish I knew how many millions of dollars are being spent annually on the teeth of Uncle Sam's men and women; I imagine the sum would be staggering! Doubtless tons of human teeth are extracted each year, regardless of the age of the victims. That most of these teeth are diseased, I do not doubt; there may be excellent reasons for the massacre of the mo lars; but, it would seem to be high time for a study of the conditions underlying; the "why" of the dental necrosis, the abscess, the caries, the pyorrhea. It is a fact that our progenitors and racial neighbors long before us, had better teeth than we have. Ex plorers into darkest Africa have told us of the beautiiul white teeth or natives; in fact about the only beau tiful thing about the Hottentot, the Arab, the Zulu and others, seemed to be the teeth. Why? They lived on the coarsest food imaginable; "tooth paste" was unheard of and tooth brushes! Dentists! A Congo maid would be crazy to even think of such an utter absurdity! No, it has been allotted to civil ization to visit on its adherents the tragedy of the teeth, not to mention dozens of the more serious diseases, How has the feat been accomplish ed? First, as to food. Rough, coarse food is an excellent substitute for the tooth-brush. A bag of whole some pop-corn is a good dentrince; eating apples the old-fashioned way is a mighty good tonic for teeth and gums. The mastication of the right kind of substances was, doubt less, intended by the Creator to be all the "treatment" the teeth and gums needed. It is generally when man tries to improve on His meth ods, that the traitor falls down. There is no doubt in my mind that the dirty tooth brush is re sponsible for more cases of pyor rhea than any other one thing. More than this the incessant scrubbing of the teeth is harmful to a most pronounced degree; and a neglected bowel is a prolific source of dis ease that may extend to the remot est part of the human structure. (From tillage and production report of Eastern Oregon Wheat conferince.) Lait of terles of four artiolei. Weeds are a constant menace to the wheat grower and will continue to become more troublesome. Farm ers are strongly advised to use every possible precaution to keep summer fallow clean. The best time to kill weeds Is when they are small. Clean fence rows and roadways will help. The use of chlorates in the form of sprays for eradication of noxious weeds like wild morning glory, knapweed and Canada thistle offers much promise for a practical meth od of controlline these pests. Re sults with sodium chlorate in east em Oregon in 1928 were satisfac tory. In 1929 calcium chlorates were tested even more extensively through . cooperation of growers with county agents and state col lege specialists. Results will not be known until the summer of 1930. The plan of the Umatilla county court of assisting farmers in pro viding sprav equipment for organiz ed weed control is recommended for consideration in other counties. Spe cific recommendations on use of chlorates can be obtained from the countv aeents or state college. General or extensive culture of other crops on typical wheat lands of eastern Oregon is not recom mended. Under certain conditions and in certain localities field peas and corn, to a limited extent, may be profitable to farmers who keep livestock. In Union county and in some sec- UNDERGOES OPERATION. Peter Bauernfiend, former well known resident of Cecil, has been at Walla Walla for about a couple of months, a patient in St Mary's hospital.

Relatives here are Informed that he is doing well, and should be able to leave the hospital in about two weeks. Mr. Bauernfiend is a man 78 years of age, and his recov ery from the ordeal he has been through, in so short a time, i3 remarkable. D. C. Wells, representing the firm of Wells and Keithley, realtors of Pendleton, was a visitor at Hepp ner on Mnoday, bringing parties with him whom he hoped to interest in Morrow county farm lands.
