INSIDE DOPE ON T The human gall bladder re sembles the gall bladder of a chicken the main difference be inc that It comes in the large, economy size. It serves the same pur pose the stor age of bile. plus the ability to squirt out a lit tle of same from time to time. When the gall bladder suffers a decline in its ability tosquirt bile back into Dr. Brady the passage from which it came. tne first stage of gall bladder dis ease is established. Bile in the gall bladder is normally a little more concentrated than it Is in the bile passages. This appears to be due to the capacity of the gall bladder wall to absorb some of the water which is a con stituent of the bile. During digestion it seems that a squirt or two of concentrated bile is more effective than thin ner bile. Bile issues from the liver in two slender, muscular tubes which join, forming one tube which terminates in the small bowel near the lower end of the stomach. An off-shoot from the single tube, below its junction with the other, leads to the gall bladder. Thus, bile flows both ways In the tube leading to the gall bladder. Theoretically, bile flows into the gall bladder between meals and flows out during meals. Bile is essential to the diges tion of fats. When the bile pas sages are obstructed, bile is ab sorbed by the blood and the pa tient shows evidence of it by be coming jaundiced. This applies, however, only to obstruction in the main passage. The passage HE CALL BLADDER leading to the gall bladder may be obstructed without causing jaundice. Gall stones may form in the presence of delayed or stagnant bile. This is invariably accom panied by some abnormal change in the gall bladder wall which in terferes with the water-absorbing function of the gall bladder. Infection, incident or secondary to changes in the gall bladder wall, is thought to be a factor in the formation of gall stones. A gall bladder may be c o m e acutely inflammed as the result of infection, or may be chronical ly inflammed for years in con junction with the presence of stones. The gall bladder may be come distended with pus may undergo gangrene may rupture just like an appendix does. It may become enormously en larged or may constrict down tightly around a single small stone. All kinds Of things can happen to a gall bladder. A stone in a gall bladder may produce no symptoms whatever. But if the stone becomes wedged in, or passes through the gall bladder passage into the main stem, the victim immediately ceases believing in Santa Claus. I mean it's downright uncomfort able, to say the least. Many persons afflicted with diseased gall bladder with or without stones (usually with) are the victims of a wide range of dyspeptic symptoms, ranging from sourness and a sensation of pressure to actual pain, loss of appetite and nausea. These symp toms often lead to self-diagnosed "ulcers," "indigestion," "gas" or "constipation." All of these, of course, are figments of the imag ination. When gall bladder diseases ts firmly established, the best way to handle it is to take the gall bladder out and have done with it. Life is too short to fool around endlessly with a diseased gall Woman's Body Found In Ransacked Room New Orleans, Feb. 10 (U.R) The body of a pretty, 25-year-old red-haired North Carolina wom an clad only in silk panties was found strangled with a brassiere in a ransacked room here last night. Police identified the woman as Mrs. Betty Jean Guillory, wife of a seaman. Capt. William Dowie of the homicide squad said someone had searched the room thorough ly. The floor was littered with clothing and papers and drawers were askew. Police detained Fernando Fa gundo, 23-year-old French quar ter bartender, who said he had a "date" with the slain woman at 3 a.m. Monday. "But she didn't keep it," he said. "She left my bar about 2 a.m." Police were also seeking the whereabouts of the dead wom an's husband, who is believed to be at sea aboard a merchant ship. bladder. One can live as well without a gall bladder as one can live with one. One can live much better without a diseased gall than one can live with one. You're operated upon today you're up and around tomorrow, you're home in a week and that's the end of it.' A gall bladder Is not only a pain in the abdomen it's a pain in the neck.

Lansing, Mich., with 180,000 residents, became the first city to order an electrical "brown out" to conserve coal. Street lights were dimmed, household ers closed off extra rooms, and business firms turned off adver tising display lights. The city had 26 days' supply of coal on hand. Situation "Pathetic" Secretary William A. Honeck er of the Michigan Coal Dealer's association claimed that the sit uation was "pathetic." "In another week, people will be borrowing coal by the sack from each other to keep warm," he said. Salesmen, businessmen, and tourists were checking with rail roads to determine how the schedule cutbacks ordered by the interstate commerce commission would affect their travels. The ICC, which had already reduced passenger service on some railroads by a third last January, issued a new directive yesterday for a flat 50 per cent cut in service for all coal-burning passenger trains and a 25 per cent slash ill coal - using freight service. Knoxville, Tenn. (U.R) Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Lulz sued the city and the Knoxville utilities board for $3,000.
