Growth Is Never Painful!

■y Herman N. Bundesen, M. 0. I GROWTH is never painful! If parents would remember this one fact they would never dismiss a child's complaints of pain tn the legs aa "growing pains and nothing to worry about." Instead, they would realise at once that danger threatens and seek prompt medical aid to forestall it. According to Dr. Hector C. Cameroa of England, there are five common disorders responsible for such leg pains. These Include osteomyelitis or Infection of the bone marrow, rheumatic fever which Is an inflammation of the joints, leukemia, a disorder in which there is a great increase in the number of white cells in the blood, inflantile paralysis and peripheral Beuritis, or InfiatamaUon of the serves. Determine Cause Wlu-n leg i»ains occur, the physi<lsn must first determine the paste before he can apply the Cyer treatment. In osteomyelithere are tenderness over some Sue spot in the lM soma sweUin* •f the tissues and. usually fever. An X-ray is halpfal in making the is rheumatic rever

that this can’t tie allowed in Indiana until a new law Is enacted It Is doubtful that the governor will call a special version to make such allowances legal here o 0 The polio epidemic over the country seem* to be lessening but the danger will not bo over for several we<ks yet, according to experts. Indiana has been more fortunate than many states with fewer cases than in several former years but in a half dozen stales the disease has been more prevalent than ever before. Every passible care .should be taken to guard against it.

The rains and storms of the past week have done considerable damage In several western states, according to reports. The tornado in the vicinity of Mankato. Minnesota, was the worst of the year while the heavy rains in Illinois and Missouri caused extensive damage to crops. We have been unusually fortunate this year so far as the storm record la concerned but they can come any time und are always serious. 0 o Democrats in Huntington county will hold a "kick-off banquet" at the lac Fountaine hotel tbe evening of August 28th. Tickets arc now on sale there. Speakers will Include M. Clifford Townsend, former governor and candidate lor United States senator, William Welsh, fifth district candidate for congress. Pleas Greenlee, state chairman and other. The boys seem to have their coats off over there. O—Q V 4 Great Teacher "He influenced more Americans than all the presidents." This estimate, quoted approvingly by the columnist and historian. Mark ftullivan. is recalled by the Uni-rer-ffy of Virginia's exhibit of the writing of William Holmes McGuffey. McGuffey's readers, first published in 1836, were still selling 106 yearz later.. For millions, portion of what they knew about the books const itut Id the foundshaps the majortity of Americans, literature. Webser's "Reply to Hayne”, which inspired the Northern armies in the Civil War, got its widest dentation through the McGuffey readers. Bo with Patrick Henry's “Give me liberty or give me death!” The beat of Shakespeare. Scott, Longfellow, Whittier und many other writers was found in the McGuffey |>ages. Their moral teachings seem too forced for present taste, but their other merits far outweighed this objection. The publishers estimated that up to 1920, one hundred and twentytwo million copies had been sold. Present day teachers will do well If they exercise one-tenth tbe influence of this schoolmaster who has been dead for more than 70 years.

there Is Home pain and swelling of the joint*. Often, there i* anemia or iug of the coloring in the blood. The child will tire easily and his appetite may be poor. Pain* In the leg* due to overexercise or bad posture may ro semble those due to rheumatic fever. However, these postural or exercise pains are benfited by rest and maw-age. In rheumatic fever, the pain* are usually worse in the morning on arising and masxago may acrefipe their severity. Beginning of Leukemia At the beginning of leukemia there may be pain in the leg* before other symptom* occur. How •ver. an cxamtmitioii of the blood leads to a prompt diagnosis. lalautlie paralysis and mufTlpie neuritis require a careful examination of the nervous system, the reflexes and the sensation* In the skin in order to make a diagnosis. Both these disorders may begin with shooting or tingllug pain* ia the lag*. Beer In mind that leg pains are got to be ignored, but need a carefW study by the doctor.

CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE FLO WAS changing for dinner when Anna came to th* door. "I forgot to tell you, Mrs. C001ey.... Mr. Cooley telephoned, too. He said that he won’t be home for dinner.” There was a smug satisfaction on the woman's face and her eyes were accusing. Flo looked away from them. "Did Mr. Cooley say where he was having dinner?” "No. Just that he wouldn’t be home.” Anna smiled and walked away from the door. But Flo's fury at her was crowded instantly out of her mind by the startling fact of Doug’s dining out. Retaliation, because she had not come home last night. But that wasn't the way Doug reacted—there were those many other times she had not come home which he had let go unnoticed. This was the first evening he had left her alone in the four years of their marriage. When a dinne- engagement had not included women he had made certain before lie want to it that she had something to do. But tonight he hadn't thought of her. . . , Perhaps he had tired at the anomalous situation between them. Even Doug wouldn’t take it too long. She ate her dinner from a tray, on the terrace. She would tell Doug th* truth, tonight. About Dan. "I cheated you horribly. ...” Doug might forgive her—he might not. But she owed It to him, to tell him. Bh* was still on the terrace when Doug came in, an hour later. He came to the door. "Hello! Y«m’re home!" "Yes. I was too comfortable here to move. . . . Anyway, I’d just come in when Anna gave me your message. I had tea-coffee, rather, with this writer who’s doing a story about my mother." She stopped, struck by the realisation that It was the firat time she ever voluntarily had told Doug anything of what she had been doing. Doug came out on the porch. "A beautiful evening,” he observed. Before this his comments on the weather always bad irritated bet. But now she aaid, "Yea, isn’t It?" I Doug took up a pipe from a table, looked down into the bowl of It as he filled IL "I had dinner tonight with Senator Corcoran. . . . He left on the » o’clock for Washlagton." She scarcely heard him. Rhe was thinking of what sb* had to tell him. She locked her fingers together. "Doug. . . Doug struck a match for his pipe. me to goto Peru wUh that Congressional Oommis"no unlocked her fingers. "Peru? And your* going?" Doug sat down on the arm of a chair. "Yes, I think 1 will.

It will be an Interesting experience I’m rather flattered that I’ve been picked to go!” "It is an honor, of course," agreed Flo, in a queerly empty voice. "When do you go?" "Next week. Corcoran wants th* four of us—two New York lawyers and Kingsley, from th* Attorney General's office, to go ahead of the others to arrange the legal procedure. It's rather short notice, but 1 think 1 can be ready. We'll fly from Miami.” Doug was fondling the bowl of his pipe as he spoke. Flo had seen him do that hundreds of times, but she found herself watching his hands with the strained certainty that the next minute they would do something startlingly different. "I can’t say how long I'll be away. And while I'm down there I’d like to see Bueno* Aires and I Rio. You doubtless have your own ' plans for this summer—TH put a thousand dollar* more In your i checking aecount. That ought to cover whatever you decide to do. If anything out of th* ordinary ! comes up—go to Willis." He pul his ' pipe back in his mouth. "I think i I’ll turn in. I’ve bad a very busy day." As he moved toward th* door he , paused at the aide of her chair, but ; all he said was, "Good night, my I dear." Then he went on into the ; house. Left alone, Flo sprang unsteadily . to her fest, her hand holding to her i chair for Ito support, ”1 didn't tell * him—be told me!" * * * Your husband’s on the phone, i Mr*.
