In some cases, the patient can be helped by. an operation called a sympathectomy in which certain nerves are cut back of the upper. part of the abdomen. In the worst cases', an expert on artery diseases, .by in jecting some radio-opaque ma terial into the artery and x-raying it, can- find just where the narrow place is.

Washington (U.B I used to think that the editors of the Oid Farmer's Almanac spit on a fin ger, looked at the sky and told us what the wea t h e r would be for the next year. But since I have been stud ying the book for a number of years, I have concluded that the forecasting is pretty accurate. The almanac it in its 185th year, and being more accurate than the political poofs for that long a time is a secret. which the editors should hang onto. Science, of course, is about to investigate, but the plain facts are that the almanac is out to day. And I am in a position to tell you what is forthcoming, not by' states but generally speaking. Around the holidays and week ends a flock of storms will rise,' and the red line on the thermometer will run down a little. A bunch of snow, too. . . The almanac that used to hang in Granny's kitchen beside the pump says there will be rain and. sleet in January, and fluffy snow. Easterly gales in Febru ary and winds in March. . April will be foggy and warm er than last year. May will be cool, and June will turn up cold and misty. . Cold rains will come down In a lot of area's .in July, and August-will turn hot and cool '-by turns. . What I like most about the old almanac is the advertise ments. Something .to cure the misery under the. false teeth. A salve for aching muscles, and seeds that are sure to get you better rutabagas and tomatoes and turnips. And right under' fhe .ads for seeds is a complete list by states on which dates the "killing frosts" will come," and beware; . Nancy Dixon has a cute little section in which she gives her. recipes for fixing mushrooms. Stuffed, "stuffed a la Vincent," and plain old baked. I wish I had the space and time to run out the string on the bow-to-do. There is no end to the amount of knowledge a man can pick , up m the little old book that has been-around so long. Things like a section on "home tips." .A note from Grandma's house keeping book:' . "Old soap lasts much longer than fresh soap so buy your family supply weil in advance. Remove wrappers and place in linen closet to dry.". Also under the tips for the home .i this one: "To sharpen your household scissor cut through fine sand paper." There one other thing, wfilch comes under the general j heading of "corn planting rule," This one is supposed to have come up in 1833, and was an answer to a farmer to the ques tion of how many kernels he put in a corn hill. Said the farmer: "One for the bluebird, "One for the crow, "One for the cut-worm "And two to grow." Nobel Chemistry Prize Shared by Two Stockholm, Sweden (U.W Prof. Cyril Norman Hinshel- wood of Oxford University and Prof. Nikolai Nikolaevich Sen- enov of Moscow University were jointly awarded today the 1956 Nobel Prize for chemistry. The Swedish Royal Academy of Sciences said Hinshelwood 59, and Semenov, 80, would each receive half of the S38.000 prize "for their researches into the mechanism ot chemical reac tions." Semenov ia the first Russian to ever receive a Nobel chem istry prize. Beaver Farm Thrives On Whidby Island Seattle, Wash. (U.R) What is believed to be the first mod em beaver farm on the Pacific coast is thriving ' on Whidby Island in Puget Sound. The business was launched about a year ago by Walter E Weston, a former restaurant op erator who transplanted breed ing pairs from a parent farm in Kaysville. Utah. The recent birth of three bea ver kits, the first ever born to domesticated beaver in this state, increased the- farm's population to 68. . - I According to Weston, his farm is one of only 12 privately owned beaver businesses in the world The industry is so new that no domestic beavers have been used -for pelting. But Weston figures pelts will be worth as much as SI 00. BEWARE Of IM1TAT10MS LOOK fort THt HAPF-Y urnt coo TOPS IN QUALITY! LOW IH PRICE 0 0 o 0 O & AST 0TEIII, tWr W anVikW rf " .
