Here we sit with the world at our feet, have nearly all the wealth, full employment, homes and more comforts than any other place on the globe, and tail to enjoy it. -0 There have been many drownIngs lately among boys and girls, and there is a natural tendency on the part of parents and friends to urge the children to keep away from the streams and lakes. But this Is bard to accomplish. Outdoor bathing is one of the oldest sports In the world—and one of the most alluring and healthful. The better way, wherever it is possible, |g to teach the children to swim aud. at the same time, make sure that they understand the dangers that go with this fine sport. It is good. also, when it can be done, to have grown-ups around for Instruction and safety. ——o—o— — Just 100 years ago the United States clinched its foothold on the Pacific Oeean through final settlement of the Northern limits of the Oregon Territory.

Helping Overcome a Bad Habit

By Herman N Bundeeen, M. D. MOTHERS who have to do with • child who has developed a perslatant habit of bed-wotting should learn not to scold. Admittedly, ouch a habit is distressing to all concerned. but chldiug and punishment do no g»od. Indeed, enconregment and praise may succeed when all else fails. According to Dr. Edgar 8. Marks of Brooklyn, New York, the first step in the correction of this habit is tv gain the child? confidence and convince him that hie condition can be overcome. Weak Kidneys Unfortunately, many parents may tail the older child that he has weak kidneys or something else is wrong with him and so the child gets to believe Hut his bed-wetting cannot be cured. It Is suggested that a weekly chart be kept and a gold star put ou the chart for each night that the child does -not wet the bed. The parents must not scold or even comment when the child wets the bed. However, hr should be praised and rewarded when he ■does keep dry. Thin difficulty of his ■should not be discussed before him ■All those In the household should BsaliiUiu an uptmustic altitude. 9 The diet should be a simple one

braces New Mcrico. Arixona. California, Nevada, Utah and parts of Colorado and Wyoming was also acquired. This spring and summer will mA commemorative observances of the opening up of the great West, that magnilcent section, as a part of the continental United States. It Is Utting and proper that this be done, for we cannot today overemphasise the wonderful spirit of those gallant men aud women who stretched the borders of this country from the banks of the MI-><RmIPDI to the sloping beadles of tlic Pacific. •o—o — • The Indiana State Medical Association has issued a bulletin, "Watch Out! It's Summer", which lists a number of precautions to be followed in safeguarding health. Along with the timely advice to avoid mosquitoes and flies and "dress simply, slow up your activities, take plenty of cool or tepid baths, and eat plenty of salted foods ”, we believe each community should Inaugurate a health program. Public places, aud food establishments should meet local and state requirements In respect to sanitary safeguards as provid <«d by law. It's cheaper to protect the public health than to pay for epidemics ami carelessness. -0 Final settlement of the Eli W. Htcel estate is being made in the local court and distributive shares are being made to the heirs, along with special bequests enumerated In the will. The founder of Belmont park, formerly as Steel’s park, with Its wooded lanes and lake, bequeathed a large portion | of his estate to th churches In this city, Decatur cemetery, lib vary and county hospital. Esch church, regardless of denomination. will receive a minimum of 912011 Tho will is outstanding in local court history, in that all the churches and several public institutions were remembered by the testator. It was probated in April. 1941. the year of Mr. Steele's death. —o—o Uncle Sam ha. been. a., usual, trying to mind his own business; and if at any place or time in the international situation we seem to be going out of our way, it is lieiaune the Russian leadership Insists on pushing us around and ignoring our many friendly overtures The United States of course has to maintain its dignity and seif-respect, just as the Russian government does. But there biiould be no question that our American people and government are united in an honest effort to live at peace with all the world. And apparently all that this desire requires for consummation is that the Russian government should meet our own in this same spirit If It will do so, it can not only make vure of its own security but can confer an immeasurable blessing on a doubtful and worried world,

and constipation avoided Fluids should not begiven after four or five o'clock In the afternoon. Just before going to bed. • the child should empty hie bladder. Since the bed wetting occurs early in the night in most cases, the child should lie awakened between 1« and 12 o’clock and taken to the toilet to empty the bladder. The bedroom should not be too cold. Habit of Wakening If this procedure is followed, according to Dr. Marks, the child will soon get Into the habit of awakening to go to the toilet whenever the need arises. Later on. he will be able to go through the night Without getting up. During the treatment the child should not be scolded or reprimanded when he is awakened. A cure should not tie expected within a short period of time. The child and parents must not he discouragod because several months of treatment may lie required before the condition clears up. In some cases, the bed wetting may lie due to such diseases as diabetes. Os course, in such cases, the treatment should constat of proper care of the underlying cause. Copyright, I>4l.

Kalchis examined hia fingers, scowled at them, nipped a pinkie nail between hia sharp teeth. Corbett returned to the landscape. He thought: "Greek. 1 waa right," and smiled at the window pane wryly: "Picked a fine seatmate. Oh, what the heck, I’ll get out. Til see if the train baa a bar. Hi see U it has any giria." The Marine had been smart, getting out right away. A long train like thia must have more than old women and babies and goons. It must have girts. Beautiful girls.

The man's attitude made him think of the time be had used the word "bloody" tn mixed company in a refined English homo. “Case a Joint" used to be good American slang. "Maybe it's changed," ba decided. “I've been away long. Not even words are the same." Ho felt that he had to explain. "I'll take me a stroll," be told Kalchia “Look over the Joint. Go see if this train has any boose or goodlooking giria." The horseplayer's face didn't seem quite as belligerent now, though ha stlii locked distrustful. “Sura. Go ahead. Good idea. 1 might even Join you." Ha drew up hia knees, sitting Immobile until Corbett got out tn the aisle.

You didn't require the presoncs of husbands, drowsing in seats on the aisle, to tel! you that moot of the women were wives—full boeomed, wide hipped wives, in dark dresses and suits meant to be practical rather than chia, wearing eyeglasses, pearl button earrings and washboard permanent waves, clutching stuffed handbags tn plump, Jeweled One or two looked up when Corbett lurched past but their dead-pan expressions made clear that they had even less interest in him than he had in them. Some of the slim young ones in slacks seemed mildly aware of his passage and ho slowed up to glance at Aheir hands, registering when be saw the band on fourth finger: "service wife" and when he didn’t: "kid sister." There were two cutelooking girls with bobbed hair and sweaters who even smiled. Both wore the bands. He smiled back at them and went on. "It must boa dish," ho admonished h'marf, "While you're shopping, old boy, got the best” Ho yanked the door open, emerged from the cool, air-condi-tioned eoaeh onto a platform where the clatter and scrape and creak of sun-heated metal, the grime and oil stench made a two by six hell. A female was standing out there alone. She was dressed in a turquoise blue slack suit and dangling pink earrings, had bushy, frixzed henna hair. She was smoking. When she saw Corbett she dropped her butt, stepped on it, pulled a fresh cigaret from the pack in her pocket She smiled up at Mm, drawled; “Got a match, soldier?" He went past without answering and crossed Into the diner. The waiters, tn brown twos and fours, were having late breakfasts. The white steward was eating alone at the far end of the ear. Corbett stopped at his table, asked: "This train carry a bar?" Without looking up from his plate, the man mumbled: "No." "No place where a fellow can buy a drink?" The steward laid down his fork and looked up. He bad the thin, harassed face of a chronic dyspeptic, Red-rimmed, tired eyes studied Oorbett, trying to decide about him. Air Force men were usually gentlemen drinkers. It was sailors you bad to look out for. They became playful and noisy and the crabbier passengers were apt to oomplain. The lieutenant seemed hardly the type that made trouble. And so the steward asked: "What car you In?" •Sixteen." "Tour porter might be able to round up a pint • “Thanks, paL"> -You're weloome ■ The steward picked up his fork, turned bock to his breakfast. Kalchia, edging past, brushed Corbett’a shoulder.
