Mr. and Mrs: Harris Dc-Ver- well-bein- g WHAT CAUSES BACKACHE , The three most common symptoms among adults who seek the help of their physicians are said to be headache, stomach ache and backache. A few decades ago, the sacro-ila- c joints were blamed for much of the pain occurring across the lower lumbar region. With improved diagnostic methods and of the a better understanding many causes of backache, the sacro-ila-c joints now play only a minor role in this probleifl. Backache which occurs low between the shoulders is most commonly caused by postural strain and fatigue. Uelicf is usually obtained by the use of heat massage, and exercise to improve posture and muscle strength. Backache which occurs in the lumbar region is usually of a mechanical type. The stresses and strains of sitting, standing, walking, bending, twisting ana bfting often produce mechanical changes in the Joints which eventually become painful. In making an examination, the physician bears in mind the many conditions involving the spinal column which may cause backache and also the fact that .certain diseases of the pelvic organs or of abdominal organs, such as duodenal ulcer, might well causf backache. Among patients who present themselves with backache, many are suspected of having a ruptured or protruded disc The discs are cush-In ions between the vertebrae. rupture or protrusions of a disc, a piece of the tissue becomes separated from the main part of the disc and is forced backward against the spinal ligament to produce attacks of. back pain, or against a nerve root to produce sciatic pain. This condition is one of the two or three most common causes of backache, with or without sciatic pain. It might be of inter- - ruptured disc pected of ha ireatment while require opera i. the others respond well to conservative measures. Conservative treatment usually consists of a su ortine corset, physical thera' py and special exercises. Deforming arthritis is another of the common causes of backache. It is most common among working men, particularly those from the farms. In this type of arthritis, the edges of the bones become overgrown, the joints undergo degenerative changes with loss of normal cartilage, and the ligaments lose their normal elasticity. People over fifty years of age and thoBe who are overweight are prone to develop this type of arthritis. In rheumatoid arthritis of the spine, a marked amount of stiffness usually develops. Other joints may or may not be involved. As a rule, expansion of the chest is reduced as the disease progresses upward in the spine. Occasionally, sciatic pain complicates this problem and further increases the suffering. Traumatic conditions of the spine, particularly those which produce degenerative changes in a single joint, are. as a rule, easily recogexamination. Likenized by wise, the diagnosis of infection of the spine, such as tuberculosis, is examination. made chiefly by Tuberculosis and other infections'of the spine are among the disappearing diseases. The possible presence of' congenital or developmental defects of the spine, or of a tumor involving the spine, the spinal cord or the nerve roots, must be considered as remote causes of the pain, as well as true sciatic neuritis. As with other medical problems, the early treatment of backache produces much better results than treatment which is instituted late in the course of the disease. Indivihave duals whose examinations shown that no serious condition exists, should learn to "live with their backache" by learning how to avoid the activities and strains which aggravate the condition. With the help of a supporting corset, worn during periods of extra activity or while driving a car or truck, it is frequently possible to control pain. The advantage of a firm bed with plywood between the springs and mattress is commonly recognized by those who suffer with backache. An accurate diagnosis and evaluation by a medical doctor should be made first, after which treatment and' adjustments in living follow ia logical sequence. ay X" radio station KBUH, Brigham City. is RADIO TOPIC Cheryl Palmer, a junior at The subject for the Sunday Box Elder highschool, will sing morning address on the Life of "'It was for Me."

COLUMN New PipeLine Planned to Irrigate l?arm Mark Udy of Fielding has 29 acres of dryland leveled which will be irrigated for the first time in 1955. Mark was confronted with the problem of getting water onto the area which isrf.5 feet higher than the canal. Ordinarily he would have installed a pump at the canal and delivered .the water to the field through a high levee ditch a distance of 850 feet. Farmers with levee ditches know what kind of trouble he could expect from a levee ditch 9.5 feet high. Following an engineering sur vey by SCS engineer Richard C. Harris it was decided to run the water through a 15" concrete pipe by gravity flow. A concrete sump will be constructed at the field end'of the pipe. The water will be pumped from the sump onto the field. This pipeline should be practically trouble free. In addition r about of an sere c.f good farm land wQ be us.l for production rather than as a ditch line. George Gardner has a similar pipeline andpump on nis ranch at Little Mountain which has been operating for two seasons. George is well pleased with his system. The useful life of tlr's nype of construction in alkali tree soik such as this is many, m.iny years as concrete increases in strength with age.
