Christmas is coming. and with it plans for good things to eat. One of these favourite foods is fruit. Canada's Food Rules tell us to eat two servings of fruit every day- summer and winter. We are for- tunate to have a great variety from which to choose: Citrus, com- mercial and home canned. dried. frozen, fresh-cultivated, wild and imported.

Can we afford to eat two of these fruits every day? Can we afford not to when fruits contain minerals and vitamins that are difficult to obtain elsewhere?

The food rules recommend a cit- rus fruit or tomato. or their juices because they supply Vitamin G. Since your body uses Vitamin C every day. and very few foods sup- ply it. it is especially important that you eat one of these foods every day.

The most common serving of cit- rus frult' is one orange or 1-2 grapefruit. Small heavy oranges or medium sized heavy grapefruit are the best buy. Oranges marked "color-added" are as satisfactory as tree ripened fruit. A russet colour on grapefruit causes no harm. One orange eaten whole gives you 5073 more Vitamin C for your money than the strained juice. Oranges are forecast to be very plentiful this winter.

When fresh fruits go up in price canned citrus juices may be a bet- ter buy. Five ounces of grapefruit juice or blend, equal one oranee. It is best to punch only two holes in the can. The juice can be stored in the can in the refriger- ator up to 24 hours without loss of Vitamin C.

Tomatoes are an excellent sub- stitute for citrus fruits. especially when home grown and canned for wlnter use. Servings which supplv adequate vitamin C are one me- dium orange. six ounces tomato juice or 3-4 cup canned tomatoes. When the food budget runs veri- low. Vitamin C may be obtained ljy eating raw vegetables, especial- ly cabbage. and potatoes baked or boiled in their skins. Cooking and long storage destroy Vitamin C. so unless you are prepared to eat salads and cook your veiletilbles very carefully.,yoil will be wise in cat citrus fruits or tomatoes every day.

INTRACTABLE OR. UNBEARABLE PAIN

Physicians will tell you that practically all their patients con- suit them because of pain some- where in the body. In most cases by hearing the patient's story. the physician is able to diagnose the underlying cause of the pain and prescribe the usual remedy, as pain is usually caused by pressure on a nerve somewhere-gas. swell- ing of adjoining tissues-which is relieved when pressure is removed. There are, however, many cases where the cause of pain cannot be discovered and until it, is discov- ered the patient expects and re- ceives relief by quieting drugs or other forms of treatment. And when the pain becomes unbear- able (intractable) the physician may find it necessary to use sev- ere or extreme measures to relieve the patient's pain. In The Canadian Medical As- sociation Journal. Dr. John J. Bon- icu, Tacoma, Wash. states that the management of intractable pain is a difficult; clinical problem and has taxed the knowledge and skill of physicians for centuries. This is because physicians do not understand the nature of pain lt- I sell nor its causes. We can thus

H We know that pain involves two In factors-feeling or perception of pain and the reaction of the body and tissues to the pain. While pain can always be felt. reaction to the pain is different in different indi- viduals and not always the same in the one individual. some meth- ods of pain relief try to help the patient to better withstand the pain before he feels the need of using drugs or other treatments: other measures are used to lessen the effect or reaction of the body to pain. some drugs decrease both perception and reaction. Unfor- tunatoly some of these drugs af- fect breathing, digestion and the nervous system and cannot be given continuously.

Another method is blocking the nerves by injections of pain-kill- ing drugs. such as procaine and alcohol, into a ganglion (bundle of nerves) which acts practically like a local anaesthetic on the painful tissues. This nerve block- ing is particularly helpful in pain due to high blood pressure, to pain in abdomen. and pain in muscles and tendons.

Finally, "the excruciating pain which is often present in malig- nant disease (cancer) may be ad- equately relieved with alcohol nerve blocks."

During past several years. Dr. Bonica states that nerve blocking has given 68 per cent complete re-

DEAR MISS DIX: When I was married twenty-four years ago one of my sisters gave me my veil as a wedding gift. I loaned it to three sisters in turn, and the last one never returned it-that was sixteen years ago. Every time I mention that I am going to ask for 'it. my husband says it will only start a family argument. This sister never does return anytlflng she gets her hands on. Now I have a 14-year-old daughter who will probably like to have the veil someday. While I don't like to have an argument with anyone, I feel my daugh- ler has a right to the veil. How can I go about getting it back? R. W.

ANSWER: A perfectly straightforward request will be the most direct and best means to employ for the return of your wedding veil Naturally you want it for your daughter. and she should have it. Your sister. being such a possessive person. probably will resent havl lnl 10 part with something that. by this time. she has come to regard as her own. Be as tactful as possible with your request, but make it definite.
