diet. Some babies are sensitive to cow's milk. V 9 that a different type of milk is necessary. Ointments containing tar are often effective. Dr. Johnson has attempted treatment of a number of ‘hear babies with a preparation containing histamine and a protein substance. Histamine is a substance formed in the body as a result of the re action of an over-sensitive person to the substances to which he Is sensitive. The product which be used was injected under tht- skin. He started by Injecting a very tiny amount into the akin, and noting If a reaction occurred, such as the formation of a red swelling at the point of Inoculation No Swelling If there was no swelling, the dose Injected into the skin was doubled after thirty minutes. Then, at the next visit, an injection was made under the skin and this was repeated three times u week, as a rule, the dosage being gradually increased. Only a few reaction* occurred and these were not severe It was not found that this treatment cured ail cases. However. In 18 Infants It was found so helpful that it would appear advisable that It be given further trial, par tlcslarly where older methods fail to bring improvement

The color fast catton flags can be laundered in the tub or by using moderately warm suds. The colorfast wool flags and the silk flags need cooler soapy water. Os course, must of the little flags such as are often carried by children in parades, are very seldom fast-dyed, and it is not advisable to try to wash them.

Rain, Cool Weather Slow Corn Planting Southern Port Os County Hord Hit Clearing and some warmer weather arrived in Adams county I Imlay after several days of low temperatures and rain which caused many farmers to be late In their planting of corn. The south part of the county experienced the heaviest rainfall of thia section last week. Many acres of land along the Wabash river were flooded the j last few days and where plantings had been made the needs were washed away. Farmers in the north and central imrt of the county had too much rain to work in the Helds, but their fields were not fliwaled, Most fanners say that with 48 hours of sunshine the ground will I be In condition for planting and they are optimistic about prospects for good crops provided they can get their corn In this week. It is generally felt that corn should he planted before June 1. but many growers point to recent years when good crops were produced when the seed was planted as late as June 12. Other farmers will be busy thia week planting soybeans and local gardeners will complete sottrhg out their late plants. The weather forecast Is for clearing weather today and warmer Tuesday. The three south townships suff-t cred the most from the recent high water and the Wabash was out of Its banks for several miles through the county. The St. Mary's river was up several feet but did not get out of its banks. —■ - -—o -— Insurance Agents To Meet This Evening —- The Adams county Insurance agents board will meet at the Grover ; Moser office In Herne at 7 o'clock I this evening.

YKATERnAYt Aboard the Palm Qnrra, Corbett sites ap hit fellow pas* erasers aad settles Into his eoarh seat for the approximately 34-honr ride. CHAPTER FIVE AT THE yellow Fort Lauderdale depot, a blonde in a silver fox mackinaw got on while a "cracker*' in shirtsleeves called after her: "Take keer of yourself, honey. Take keer." At Boca Raton, where army trucks were lined up by dozens beside the track and the roofs of small houses were carnival red, blue and green, a GI leaned on the wall of the station with his loneliness spread In his eyes. At West Palm Beach the stop was a long one because a large crowd had to climb into the Pullmans. After West Palm, the conductor, flanked by an M. P. and an 8. P., earn* into the coach, stumbled over the luggage and tore the first strip off the tickets. By that time the blue mohair . chairs had begun to hunt for ten- | der spots in the coccyx and the window watchers to weary of palm and pine, of sun-yellow depots with waiting rooms labelled: “White" and "Colored," to be bored with the scenery and with themselves and eager to find the best listening ears to wh|ch each could confide who he was, the names and estate of his children, what he did for a living, how much he owned, and what he would do If he were able to retire. see Grandma, to seat three, nudged the Marine. "Maybe you like a little piece fruit T" She opened one of her brown paper begs. Her wizened face lit with hospitable zeal. The Marine shook his head. She didn't or wouldn’t hear his I refusal. Painstakingly, she chose her biggest orange and forced it Into his hand. "Take. It’s good." The Marine's red face got redder. He mumbled "Thanks," juggling the globe from one hand to j the other. "You want I Should take the akin off for you?" His blush deepened. "I’ll eat it later. 1 ain’t hungry now." "It's good for you. Eat My daughter has more. That's my i daughter.” Her bony finger pointed across the aisle to the couple who hadn't stopped eating since they got on. "That’s my son-in-law. I'm the grandma." “That’s nice," the corporal muttered. "That’s fine." She Inched closet to him. "They took mo down to Miami. Now I go home. I live in the Bronx. You live in Now York?" The corporal shook his head "No,” growled "Excuse me," clumsily got to his feet. He put the orange down on the ehair, walked back to the coach. Corbett winked at the Marine when he passed and the corporal winked back. He was just a kid, a pleasant-faced youngster, tefrhaired, with the broad cheekbones of the Slav. He wore three bronze stars on his Pacific yellow, the red, white and Hue of the Silver Star and the Purple Heart ribbon. A kid, Oovbett realised, a blond kid, with Woody battles behind him— Tulatfi.

nobody had heard of before that First Division piled off the boats to print those names large In flame and to blood. A kid, face still smooth and untroubled. Abruptly, Corbett turned back to the window. The headache had ebbed, had left to its place a gray vacancy, through which his nerves sent tentative pinpricks. The green miles were endless, monotonous. On the far horizon were striping* of cloud, trailing off, like the white vapor plumes of the fighters. He felt hie spine tensing. He lay back in the seat, closing his eyes, commanding himself to ease up. His eyelids stayed down for less than five minutes. He looked at the landscape again. While he stared, his mind commenced to do tricks, to soar over the fields, swamps and palms, lock down through the Plexiglas nose of a B-24 on a far-stretching carpet of green, on cushions of flak, to draw to the Infinitesimal hairlines of the bombsight, pin pointing a factory, a bridge, a railyard. A red light clicked on in his brain. He pulled down the shade, turned away from the window and, hopefully craving distraction, looked at his seatmate. The man to six was asleep, his head rocking gently on the camel's hair coat, dasped hands slumped in his lap. me man's hands were bony as talons, fingers nicotine yellowed, nails bitten and dirty. Above them, the sleeves of his tight-fitting suit—a brown striped with red—wers frayed. Yet his alligator belt looked expensive; his cream-colored shirt was silk-fin-ished bet wilted and soiled and rubbed at the neckline. His mottled red tie might have been Sulka, long, long ago. The face, too, showed hard wear to its unhealthy sallow, in the cadaverous tightness of flesh that hadn’t softened even In st ep. The narrow, straight nose flared round at the nostrils like the bulb of a scallion. The eyebrows were heavy, as black as his hair. Spaniard ? Italian ? Greek, Corbett decided. He tried to imagine what the guy did for a living, If any. The man's torso, shifting posli tlon. stretched to serpentine ripples. Ho threw one skinny leg across to other. His shoes, Corbett saw, were old black and white sport oxfords. The heels were worn down. The sole, upended toward him, had a ragged, round ’ ulcer. Whatever he worked at wasn’t producing. That much was dear. Across the aisle, the gunner’s mate’s Joanle whimpered: "Mommy, I have to." "Oh. dear!" Her mother glanced down at the baby. He was sound asleep in to crotch of her arm. "I have to, Mommy." i The pudgy man took off his sunglasses and looked at them both I as If there should be some way ' he could be helpful. The gunner's . mate’s wife lifted her latent care- , fully up toward her shoulder. "Excuse me, please. We’d like to get i out" 1 The gray-haired woman to the , chair behind them stood up as if ■ not the stout man, but she had i been spoken to. "Please," she said i eagerly. "Pl! bold your baby while , you take care of your little girl.** The young motor's face hard- . ened with to Instinctive distrust , of a stranger. The woman smiled. ■ She looked kindly and genteel and healthy. A motherly sort. Corbett i decided, to kind you’d call a good
