However, this method haa not yet met the general approval of aurgeona. If the operation Is iierformed dues this guarantee that the hernia will not occur again? Unfortunately the hernia doea occur after not because the operation waa not dona pnqierly, but because of the nntural weakness or tendency of the abdominal wall to ang or rupture. There la no question but that a fitted truss Is a great boon projK-rlto the wearer and affords a good measure of safety, but In those cases where an oieration baa a reasonable chance of success (and most cases have a reasonable chance) it would seem only like good sense to be free of the trusa and be able to do the things other Individual can do. Even In those rases born with weak abdominal walls, about 50 per cent of the cases who undergo operation have no return of the hernia. Your best plan If you hare a hernia la to undergo an examination by your family doctor and a surgeon, as your age, your occupation. and jhe condition of your abdominal walls, must all be taken Into consideration. If operation la not considered advisable a well fitted truss and the avoidance of heavy work ahould prevent further trouble. ZTJ.'

Along the beaches a few pine, birch, and eldet trees and the sod roofed cottages of sturdy fishermen And precarious footing. Unusual Scenery. Tourists seldom visit these deep, winding walerwuys, although they would be rewarded with some of the world's most unusuul scenic spectacles If they did.

Tafjord possesses three high wa terfalls, two of which come Into view as the steamer enters the fjord. The lurgest, Muldalsfos, drops almost 500 feet (three times the height of Niagara), and Is consid ered one of the finest waterfalls In Norway. "One reason w hy Tafjord has few contacts with the outside world is that It Is practically Inaccessible except hy water. Only narrow bridle paths twist up the rocky walls of the fjord and over the plateau to neighboring villages, and these trails can be used only during the months. The rest of the year they are blanketed In heavy snow. The villages of Tafjord and FJoera, where the greatest number of the fatalities occurred during the recent wave disaster, nestle In a cove at the head of the fjord Small steamers reach them only once or twice a week with mall and supplies, although many of the natives own fishing bonts in which they sail some 50 miles down adjoining fjords to Aalesund, one of Norways chief cod fishing centers and the nearest large city. Aalesund occupies a few of the 150,000 Islands known as the Skjaergaard (Skerry Guard), which fringe the mainland and Increase Norway's coast line 12,000 miles. Mining and Fishing.
