When you buy "baseball pool tickets." play the slot machines recklessly, patronize the numbers racket, you are just a plain sucker.

Help For Failure Os Hea rt

By Herman N. Bunde&en, M. O. EVERY doc-tor known the- sense of doom which heart failure bring* with It. Th<* whole family In as fected and an atmosphere of help lexemes* and fear pervade* the household. The patient la the moat apprehensive of all. and I* in great d litre**. He must visually alt tip haeattae he I* unable to breathe lying down. He panlx ax if he had just finidied ■ at iff run; the, veins In hi* nock are distended; hh heart beat* with a racing but irregular rhythm. Other symptom* are swelling of the feet and leg*, wheezing and. •omelimra. a noisy sort of breathing due to rale* < rah lx I. whic h occur bec-ause of a collection of fluid In the air passage* tn the lungs. This is the condition which result* when the heart becomes so damaged or overworked that It rannot keep up the circulation of the blood. May Com* Suddenly It I* known ax cardiac decompensation and II may come on sud denly. If It does, the situation is serious, but there is much that the experienced doctor can do to help the patient, to renew hl* confidence and to allay the fear* at hlfamily. * According to Dr. Arnold 8. Anderson of Florida such a patient •notild be sent Immediately to a hcMpital. if possible. It I* also well to give an injection ot morphine, which »ill rant tbs heart and produes *i*ep In ao*t eases, the g»' tog of oxygen Is also helpful. The drug whkh ha* been found most

He thinks there is a chance to pull the Pirates out of the rut and make them a winning i team and a money-maker. o —o Professional baseliall players probably have the same right to join labor organizations as do i th<>-< tn other occupations but , it will sure freeze the enthusiasm ot their fans. It makes It too much of a business Instead of n sport. ' A Gallup poll taken recently showed that 79'; of those interviewed preferred they continue as In the past Probably some are paid 100 little and some too much but that's part of the fun for the winter stove league. - o o More and Better Food Food discussion* of late have < so uniinforinly been devoted to the hungry overseas, that It Is with j a certain amount of pleasure that I tlie reader turns to the statement that the food of Americans, over the past 37 years, has become better and more varied. The Bureau of Human Nutrition and Home Economics has been making a study of the per capita total sup- ’ ply for the period from 1909 to 1945, with extremely interesting I results. There have been great gains in the intake of vitamins, largely due to increased consumption of milk and eggs, of fruits, meat, poultry and vegetables, Enrichment of whit< bread and flour have also helped. More riboflavin and calcium have been taken because of i greater use of milk. In 1909 the annual per capita consumption of milk was 109 quarts. By 1941 this had risen to 257 quarts. This is niUt h less than a quart of milk per per-on per day. but It is going up. Citrus fruit and tomatoes rose I from II pounds per person per year in 1909 to 119 pounds in 1915. U-afy green and yellow vegetables almost doubled in consumption. The use of grain and potatoes dropped a« the other loads went up. It is to be remembered that these figures are merely averages, taken over the nation as a whole. The distrtbation is far from even. Some people have hud all they needed, many people still have far too little. But the nation as a whole Is eating better than It used to do.

u c'ful in these case* of heart failure lx digitalis. This preparation slows and strengthens the heart beet. Treatment Depend* ilf course. the exact treatment will depend upon the exact condition present. If there is a great deal of fluid in the lungs. If the blood pressure is excessively high, If the liver lx swollen and there is blueness of the skin, called cya-i nosls. due to « lac k of oxygen[ brought to the tissues, sometime*• removal ot blood from a vein i might be helpful. After the patient has had a good night's sleep, sometimes certain drugs containing mercury are given, together with ammonium chloride to stimulate the action of the kidneys and to eliminate excess fluid from the tissues. Os course, the 'digitalis must be carefully given under the doc tor * direction* so that the dose can lie regulated depending v>n the patient's condition. Obviously, the patient mu*l be kept at rest In bed until the condition of the heart Improve* and I* again able to »upport the circulation. Remember, heart failure is an emergency which calls for prompt treatment by the doctor But ,it lx an emergency which can often be avoided altogether hy consulting the doctor before thing* reach such an acute stage. In these case* the doctors tells the patient how to live without putting undue strata «n hi* damaged heart, and thus prevent a tiroakdown.

CHAPTER FIFTEEN THE ROOM seemsd still to hold Nell Winslow and her Mary Patten took up the flUMea and carried them to the kitchen, ?ee»ng she realized. • Uttle like an ‘"she’had let It become NetUe’s domain; Nettle’a loyalty, trustworthiness and long years withi her had made It unnecessary to check on her or supervise her work. On Nettle’s days off shs and the girls usually had eaten out, somewhere. Nettie had gone out, but she did not know where — whether to church or to the movies or to via t some friend; all she knew of Nettie'a life was the service the woman cave her! Suddenly Mary Patten felt too alone. She left the kitchen, went up th* stairs to her own room and began to undress, without haste, yet with a queer urge to hurry. Ready for bed she choee at random a book from one of the low thelvea next to the fireplace. She would read until Charie came in. Charie—she held the book so tightly against her that it hurt her flesh. Where was Charie? “If she were with Ollie I’d know!” But this Trent Renner— Her anger came back with the effect of driving out of her heart every feeling except Charie’s need of her. A part of her usefulness to James Muir was in foreseeing possible situations. Now the considered Charie’s inevitabls awakening to her folly. Reno touched the edge of her mind, but the rejected it with dlataste. There were other places where she and Charie could go and establish the necessary residence. Meanwhile . . . She heard the door cloze, Charie’s step on the stairs. "Charie!’’ Charie crossed the room to the side of the bed. But she moved as If the were In a trance; her eyes seemed to look beyond her mother. “Sit down on the bed. , , . I've been thinking of this Idea of your living in Trent's room . . Mary Patten kept her voice affectionate, only mildly protesting. Shs took Charie’s band to draw her down to the edge of the bed. “It seems so unnecessary, with all these empty rooms here and Nettle and me alone In them . . Charie took her hand from her mother's. “I've just been down there, Mother. And I'm going there to live with Trent. I’m going to begin packing my things tomorrow." Charie spoke from her trance; her eyes still held their look of seeing something beyond the walls of the room. Mary Patten winced but she kept her smile on her lips. "If you'd wait until Saturday to pack, 1 could help you, darling. Anything I can do, or anything you'd like to take from here . . ." Charie was not listening. She bent and kissed her mother. "Goodnight, Mother." Then she turned and walked out as she had come In. Mary Patten opened her book. "My poor baby,” she whispered to the stage before her-

"Your tame iooks ioveiy,“ saw Doug, coming into Flo’s room. "I m glad to see you taking an Interest again in entertaining." Wait till tha bills come in, darling! But Flo did not say She said, "H's for Charie, isn't it 7“ "I'll bring up some champagne. We must drink to Charie’s happinam.” . The bright line of red Flo was putting on her Ups shaped scorn. (Thampagns for happ'neas! And Charie l-uylng pots and pans at Woolworth's. Charie had told her, the other day, of going into the flve-and-ten with Trent "He was simply ridiculous. He had to know what every little thing waa for—wanted to buy everything in eight Even the clerk wm laughing!" It waa after that she had gone to the florist's and ordered the HO arrangement of sweetheart roeee for the center at the table. Called Bruce the caterer, and added to her menu and told him to send a man to serve. She wasn't interested in the party, now that the evening had come. It had amused her at first, to plan it, to think of Ollie Kingdon and her mother sitting in on ths celebration, to show Charts by a reckless extravagance in her preparations what she, herself, had thrown away for love. But now even that anticipation was gone. Doug was coming back. She slipped on a dinner dress quickly. It was new and Doug would tell her she looked lovely, like the table. Doug came in. He had a dressing room adjoining her room but he came to her door. "Anna says there's a man to servo. Good. It’s going to be a very nice party! New dress? That green is your color. Very lovely—" "Oh Lord!" breaths ! Flo and went past him out of ths room. Usually, seeing her living room like this, waiting for guests, she enjoyed a definite stir or pride. But tonight her only feeling was a sudden dislike of It alt With the realization a queer cold fear went through her. "Why. nothing has any meaning any more!” She stood very still, fighting the truth of it, fighting the queer cold in her. There were voices outside. In a few minutes they were in the room, Blink Matthews and Beth Meadows and Margot Wilmer and throe young men, all talking at once. "Where’s the bride?” “What was the idea, Charie pulling one like that on us!” 'Tell us about Trent Renr.er, Flo. Are wo going to like him? If wo don’t—” The room camo to life with their voices, but no warmth of It touched Flo. Doug came down. Others came, Ollie Kingdon with Charie’s mother. Charie camo alone. "Trent will be here a little late," she explained. "He had to talk to a man going through on tbe Twentieth Century and then go to the city room." She offered ths explanation awkwardly, as If It were a language she did not know very well.
