Nutrition and St. Vitus' Dance

By Herman N, Bundeeen, M. 0. PEOPLE are nometlmes Inclined to foel that doctors may be too fwwy In the matter of sensildc eating, balanced diet* and the whole subject of nutrition. They would change their mind* if they realised a* doctor* do, that the properly-fed. well-nouriahed body la our bent armor against attack* of certain deadly dine me germ* Take lubcn-ulasi*. for nsUincn. At one time or another nearly evarybody harbor these germa and yet, a* a rule, they can do i nothing against the Individtm! proper nourishment, but mum find whom. vitality i* sustained by their victim* among those suffer ing from some form or oth« r of malnutrition. Bt. Vitus Dance Now, doctors are coming to believe that the strange, Jerking disease of children, chorea, or St. I Vitus' dance, can flourish only when poor nutrition prepares th' way. Chores hi though’ to be a first cousin es the deadly riieamutte fever, which cause* so much heart £amge m children Indeed Dr Je*«pb a Johnson, of De'rolt. bHaves it to be but a milder manifestation of this disease. Furthermore, he state* that in all his 24 years of experience with this twitcher and jerker of cirfL dren. he has never known it to aitack a child whose nutrition was good This does not mean, at course. that It affects only thine who through poverty cannot get onongh to eat.

And George Gallup adds that in recent years, the people who stay at home on elect io* day have been mostly Democrats. If all the Democrats In Indiana had voted in 1!*44. the whole election picture would have been different. The same was true in 1*42. — o o Importance to local communities of Indiana's gross Income tax receipts Is being realized more and more aa township, county and municipal government taxes rise. Farmers, particularly, are cognizant of the fact that the Democrat ic-enacted Income tax tyw has served, since 1933, to keep property taxes at a lower level and has been largely responsible for keeping the public school operation at a higher state of efficiency than t that which prevailed in the dark days of the Hoover-Republican depression. o o The I'nion of Routh Africa has discovered new gold fl'-lds, and is willing to admit 100,000 Europeans jryajly for .an Indefinite period. But first transportation and housing shortages will have to be overcome. More than 7,000 South Africans are said to he still abroad, awaiting passage home. To the displaced per-ons of Europe, looking wearily for some country which will admit them and give them a chance to earn a livelihood, this So. African announcement, qualified as It is, will bring cheer. Countries like the I'nited States and Australia, which could accommodate them, want none of them. Vnleaa Routh America steps In, South Africa offers the only hope.

CHAPTER NINETEEN ALIDA HAYWORTH'S party was in full and noisy swing when Flo got there Pausing at the door, she had a swift Inclination to turn around and go away. But no. you couldn't . . . You couldn't cut off from all this by turning your back! Alida rushed up to her. "Darling! I thought you'd forgotten! Now I believe you came late just so we'd all look at you! You are positively stunning!" Cole Giddings appeared st Flo's elbow with a cocktaU. Alida gig* gled, "Sweet of you. Cole! Take care of Flo, will you?" Then with an arch look she turned her back on them. “Charmed—” said Cole, so low that only Flo heard It Aa he gave her the glass his Angers lingered on here. 'T wily came to this hideous jamboree to see you, . my darling!" “Scarcely worth It" said Flo, coldly. | He had no opportunity to answer i that Others detached themselves from the general melee to come and greet Flo; Col* was shouldered out of the circle. It was like all of Allda's gatherings—too many milling around in the room for comfort everyone talking at the same time, and voices and laughter pitched to a shrill crescendo. It was tn this way Flo had met the moot of these young men and women who gathered around her now. Bill Kingsley had said, one day, "Do you know Alida Hayworth? No? Well. I'm going there this afternoon for cocktails . . . eome along with me! She's that kind!" Flo had gone with him. It was at the beginning of her revolt against her role of Douglas Cooley's wife and she welcomed the change from Doug's friends to this younger, Irresponsible, fast-living crowd that Alida had built up. She immediately had become one of IL Joining it this afternoon she felt the same escape she had enjoyed that first day. Her depression vanished A second cocktail gave her a heady confidence In heroelf. She held her little circle around her by every provocative wile she knew.

badly needed pressing and a shape* less hat of faded felt clapped care* leasly on her head, and this odd at* tire caught Flo s curiosity as much as the intent way the woman was watching her. There were always strangers at Allda's parties, but this one was somehow different Alida's man camo to the door with a tray of fresh canapes. Cole Giddings took advantage of the general rush.at them to pull Flo aside. "Haven't I been in the doghouse long enough? I*vo been wretched. If I was rude at your dinner I ask a thousand pardons." He pitched Ms voice to almost a whisper, yet threw deep feeling into it and his dark eyes pleaded, too. His hand closed over her arm. Why not thought Fla Perhaps there couldn't be anything straight* forward and decent in her life! She met his look, "Don’t apologize, Cole. That dinner was an awful bore. ... I want to forgot everything about it!" "And forgive?" ■Yea . . . forgive." "Tomorrow, If I ’phone , . . will you drive out to Hideaway with me?" F!o hesitated, and while she did a voice spoke at her other shoulder. “You’re Mary Patten’s daughter, someone told me." Flo turned to see the stranger In the blue linen suit smiling at her. "Pm Nell Winslow." “Oh!" exclaimed Flo, her face lighting with interest. Tm awfully pleased to meet you!" Nell Winslow put out her hand. ‘Tve been hoping to meet you. A bit of luck that I camo along with Cole today." "With Cole?" repeated Flo, surprised, turning to Cole who stood frowning Into his cocktail glass. “We're old buddies,” explained Nell Winslow. “We've starved together a good many times. I didn't know he was in Stanton until I ran into Mm on the street this afternoon.’’ She studied Flo's face as she spoke. She gave a little nod of her head, tn agreement -with eome thought es her own. She flashed Cole an amused, tolerant look as if he were a bad-mannered boy, standing there, sulking. "I'm going In just one minute!
