Two congremmen and one Lt 8 senator died within a period of twenty-four hours this week. Two of them succumbed to heart trouble indicating a strain that the human bodies could not stand. Since the 7Sth session convened six members of the house and two of lhe senate have passed away. While It Is popular to deride our law-making bodies, we should remember that they have tough jobs during days like these. They must decide Issues that not only affect each of us now bnt will influence our llvra for years to come. Most ot them are sincere and realizing their responsibilities work long hours to meet the situations. The jobs are not easy. —o Our old friend, M. M< Stoops of Petersburg, Indiana, who has always kept in close touch with Decatur and Adams county, has presented a bound bolumn of Interesting old papers that carries one back to the pioneer days, to the Decatur library. They Include copies of The Eagle. The Vnion. The Adams County News. The Weekly Democrat and the Daily Democrat. Each has a story or two of particular Interest to those who seek historical facta. Mr. Stoops was superintendent of the Democrat sixty years ago and for a third of a century published the Petersburg Democrat at Petersburg. Indiana He has the greatest collection of badges, old coins and money and souvenirs of any one In the state and is now busy distributing these and other relics. 0 O-— Food Reserves: Housewives, hearing that the War Food Administration Is releasing 2.780.000 cases of peaches, peas and tomato catsup, may jump to the conclusion that this proves that the government was greedy in securing huge- stocks of food It Is probably nearer the truth to etale that the government, in acquiring foodstuffs for the armed forces, was compelled to guard against possible shortages and that, before releasing food, had to he certain that 1843 crops would be ample for all needs. The explanation is that the foods are a portion of the reserves owned and held by < anners to meet possible emergency requirements Now that they are not needed the canners are permitted to sell them In regular commerc'al channels.— Bloomington Star-Courier. Clean The Plate: The "f'lean-the-Plate Club’' program to save food may seem to the individual citizen as unimportant to him or her. It Is a case of everyone doing something to accomplish a very important result. One soldier dors not expect to win lhe war unaided. The < cM-pcratlon of the many in our armed services will bring victory. Nobody is expected to subscribe to all of a war loan, but It gore over the lop when we all do our parts. The campaign against waste of food slkuW be of permanent value to the people of this country. The war emergency makes It specially ittfpoi tant that we should have food at this time. Onee we have become accustomed to it the habit should remain with us. There to no sense of logic In the wasteful ness <f Amerk-sne. Waste to waste, even In time of >eaca. and we should be brought to a realisaties of that feet. We are not asked in the present drive to skimp on our toed allow, ante.

Medical Magazine Assails Article Raised False Hopes On Arthritis Cure Chicago. Nov. 24 —(DPI— The American Medical Association Association charges that an article In the November Reader’s Digest raised false hopes for the cure of chronic arthritis. The article, written by Paul De Krulf. outlined a treatment under which arthritis patients are given large doses of vitamin D. The m»dical association’s criticism of tite article is voiced In an editorial In its official organ, the AM A. Journal. The editorial says the association’s council on pharmacy and chemistry tested a vitamin D treatment for arthritis in 1937 and found ft unacceptable. The Journal also contains a letter from Dr. Ralph Boots of New York, one of the doctors died in the Digest article. Boots letter says neither he nor R. H Freyburg, and lhe guests help themselves. Q Is it obligatory that relatives and friends send engagement gifts to a girl? A. No; most people concentrate on the wedding gift. Q Where should the soup plates •be set when serving dinner? A. They should be placed on the service plates.

CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE There had been no revealing footprints in the road outside the gs rage; just a scuffle of steps in the dust and among the remnants of blue stone la the driveway. The waffle iron was wiped dear of finger-prints; the car door was d blurred mass of prints, but they hsd a legitimate right to be there: the victim's, Nancy’s, even the little hands of the twins had left their marks on Pete's ear Naney sat up straight and pulled her black cape higher on her shoulders. The room was stifling; I was running a temperature in foulard. A murmur of excitement went through the room when Coroner Dunton produced a woman's bag which had been found in the car. It was a white leather envelope purse and had been emptied of everything but a pocket comb. I thought: When trill Meg bring out lAs blood-stained handkerchief marked “Flo"? But the handkerchief was not forthcoming. Evidently the police weren't giving the coroner any gratuitous leads. They didn’t like him. And this was an investigation into the cause of death, not a trial. It looked as if Chief Calvin had decided to save a few surprises for the actual trial. Or ft might bo State’s Attorney Jack Drummond. He was enough of a showman for that "Wonder which of Pete’s girl friends left her bag in his ear,” Peggy whispered “11l but she's scared Jwh said: "Shut up! I warned you not to talk out of turn.” Feggy tried to laugh that off. "Evon the State's Attorney’s jittery when there’s a killer on the loose.” "Everybody but Nancy," Jack said. "She’s magnificent.” •Bo’s steel," Peggy whispered to me. "That woman isn’t human!" Aunt Carrie nudged me. “Tell Naney to stop looking like Marie Antoinette on her way to the guillotine." From behind us Commodore Knowlton boomed in what he must have thought was a whisper: "Why <•**fte the taxpayers’ money like this?

There was a lot of Pam in the way Henny played to her audience. "I went to the Everardx' by the short cut across the hack of Glennacres because my mama wouldn't have liked my walking down Havenhurst Road in a bathing suit,” HenI ny said demurely. "I came out near the Everard garage and I saw a Clice ear and two men looking at a dy on the ground. And the policeman said: ‘Whoever bopped him on the head meant business.’ And 1 I heard Mr. Drummond answer: ‘Pete had plenty of enemies. Looks , as if one of them laid for him when the whole neighborhood was over at ; Miss Drury’s last evening.’" “Good Lord!” Jack Drummond , muttered. "That sounded like me.” Henny sounded like herself as she went on: “They didn’t notice me, so , I peeked at the corpse and he looked awful. All bloody and kinds suri prised. Bo then 1 slipped out to the > gate and waited for the twins. We were going to take the short eut through the woods to the beach, , when Commodore Knowlton came out of his grounds and started to hurry acroas the road toward the [ Everards’.” “How did he know about the mur- ’ der?" Peggy whispered. Jack turned his bead and stared at her speeulatively. Henny continued with obvious pleasure of the effect she was proi during: “The Commodore seemed ' In a great hurry, but he stopped and i said hello to us and told Dotty not to pick any poison ivy and Dieky to j wipe his nose. Then he asked why we were trespassing on his property so early in the morning. So 1 ; whispered that I’d Had to get the > children away as there’d been an aceidsat at their house and I thought someone was dead and the policemen , wero there. Then he said: ’l’ll bet it’s my wife’s no-good nephew,’ and l went stumping off on his eane.” Hsnny was a brilliant mimic. When she quoted the Commodore she not only sounded like him, she , looked like him. Everyone in the room tittered : with nervous laughter as the cor- , oner dismissed his witness and she went swinging back to her ehair. The assurance was dropping away. Pam’s daughter was the shy, awk- ’ ward little Henny again. Jaek said: “What does thst dub of a Dunton think he’s doing? This 1 is a coroner's inquest, not a trial." ' Then Peggy spoke up: “Don’t in--1 terfere, Jaek. Don’t you see he’s ' helping us?” [ That’s what she said word for 1 word. ' “Commodore Knowlton, may I ’ trouble you to come forward?” the coroner asked. ’ The Commodore looked more , brooding and craggy than ever as he took the chair on the platform ‘ and sat leaning on bis gold-kr.obbed stick. ' “Did you reach the Everard home O" Monday before the medical ex--1 aminer had removed the body?” ’ “You know quite well I did," the ' Commodore boomed. “Did you view the deceased?" “I had no reason to look at the 1 body. I hear it was a terrible sight. 1 “Did you remain long on the > premises?" “An hour or so." “Did you see anything to arou*< i your suspicions—anything unusual. Commedoce?” “No. And I made a thorough I search oft the place.” I He was loemmp /er the hendkeeI ehuf marked “Flo." 1 thought. “Didn't you trust the police to I rover the grounds?"
