In places like Vincennes the trucks line up and get the coal as fast as it is mined and they are working overtime to take care of their customers. —o If the coal strike continues another week, industry will be badly crippled in the mid-west, schools | and places of entertainment will close In many places and we will be In the midst of the crisis in years, according to the opinion of many. This is not mentioned to frighten you but as a plain matter of fact. It’s a very serious time.

•> wa vwo j swaaw vmuvi | wo vismw* Vitamin Treatment for Hives

By HERMAN N. BUNOESEN, M. By Herman N. Bundeeen, M. 0. Anybody who has ever had a really severe ease of hives or urticaria will welcome news of any treatment which promises quick and sure relief. Hives cause the skin to break out in red. blotchy swellings, which itch like mosquito bites and sting like nettles. Sometimes, of course, there may be only a few of these swelling* but in many cases they are enormous in size and cover the whole body with the result that where they last for three or four days, as they may often do. the patient is ready to scream with irritation. Hard to Find Causa I! is not easy to treat hives by getting at their cause and eliminating it because so many different things may produce thenr. Among the known causes are Infections, sensitivity to certain foods or to some substance which comes In contact with the shin, glandular disturbance aud nervous disc rd era. In fact, according to Or. Katharine B Mcinnea ot South Carolina, no cause at all can be found in about one-fourth ot all eases. About two years ago it was suggested that bivaa may be promptly relieved in the great majority ot cam by the use of vitamin K.

Reverend » E. Isewbower of, Wabash has accepted the pastorate of ths First Christian church of this city and has arrived with Mrs. Isenhower to assume their new work. Decatur extends a cordial welcome to these now comers whose lives are devoted to the important work ot the church. To Rev. Isenhower and to Rev. Cochran who hag accepted a call In lowa we extend best wishes of the community. o—« It there had been such things as neon signs in 14Z0. the Mayflower might have been welcomed to this country by one reading "Welcome to Plymouth." The site of the famous rock had been named Plymouth for six years before the pilgrims landed. The Encyclopedia Americana says that Capt. John Smith named It that in 1614. As a matter of record. Miles Standish. John Alden and company called their settlement New Plymouth. —o ——o— — Baaed on a survey made by Dr. . Clement T. Malan, state superln- ' tendent of public instruction, to ascertain how many school corporations had increased the length of the school term for 1946-1947 as compared to last year, it Is revealed that both rural and urban schools have made a gain in the per cent of schools offering more than an 8-months term. Whereas last year, only 13 percent of rural school corporations had terms longer than eight months, now 55 per- [ cent offer more than this minimum. In urban schools the percent i has grown from 80 percent to 83 percent which offer more than eight months ot schooling. 0 o Truman and Cleveland President Truman is not the President who has been hardest hit by mid term elections. That distinction goes to Grover Cleveland. He began his second term In 1893 with a House majority of 94. The 1894 elections changed that • to a minority of 142. with only 104 Democrats returned to Congress '■ out of a possible 357. (A few Congressmen belonged to minor parties). Such an overturn would, in most people's minds, have settled in advance the outcome of the 1896 presidential election. Actually by mid-summer of 1896 the predictions were for the success of the Democratic nominee. William Jennings Bryan. Though he was eventually defeated, the margin was narrow- | er than it looked. A change of 11,000 votes all told In Kentucky, California, Indiana and two or three smaller stales would have elected him. Evidently not all presidential elections are sure two years ahead of time.

Reverend It E. Isenbower ot

. For example, one physician. Dr. Harvey Black of Montreal. Cani ada. reported in Southern Medicine and Surgery for Apr'S, 1946, that he treated 305 patients over a period of four years with vitamin K and found that it gave relief in about two-thirds of the patients in whom all other methods of treatment had failed. In many cap- ’ es. the use of vitamin K prevented recurrences. If a recurrence did take place, repeating the treatment cleared up the rash and it did ifl>t return. Result of Tost Dr. Mcinnea has used the vitamin K in 50 patients, with good results in three-fonrths of them. As a rnie, the preparation is given in tablet form by mouth before each meal. No reactions to this treatment have been noted. While vitamin K seems to relieve the condition, It does not. of course, remove the underlying t-'i-iae of the hives. A person who has repeated attacks of hives might well have a careful "tody made by a physician to determine Just what substances may be responsible. Knowing this, he may avoid such substances or foods. On the other baud, it may be impossible to learn what food or substance produces the difficulty. In I such cases, the use of vitamin K | is of particular value.

But ho sounded tir«L . They talked of inconsequential • things, the weather in New York 1 aa compared to the weather in r Georgia and the stamina needed -for travel on trains these days. • Once or twice Lydia glanced at • Chris and the thought camo to her that he did not seem to be * man ' in his own home, but rather a ‘ guest, the way he looked at things as If he were trying to recall ’ where he had seen them before. Kirby said nothing. Then Theo said, “And now we , really must go. Isaac has put our i things in the car. Td no idea we r had left so much." I Chris went to the door with them and stepped outside. “I don’t know how she drives, he said to Theo and it was obvious r to Lydia that he was making a i great, and to her pathetic, effort i to be amusing; he was trying so I hard. "You may be giving your I life into her hands." "You gave YOUR Bfe into her I hands, dear," she said, and laughed. As she turned the ear around. Lydia wondered how long he would stand there looking after them, i She wondered how he would look when, with them gone, he wouldn’t . have to pretend or try so hard. Almost immediately Theo asked, I “How has he been? Very sensi Uve? Tve been very worried about : him. He was not himself when we saw him last tai Now York." ; -Yea. he's sensitive," Lydia said. "But he's going to be all right I know he is. I don't mean that the stiffnesa will ever leave his leg. They've done everything for it that > could be done.

You are not impulsive" With a half-smfio Lydia said. _ Tm very deeply tn love with him. There wasn't time to wait Either _ ! had to go back to my job or marry him. I wanted to marry him more than I've ever wanted anything In my life. Pity had nothing to do with iL There's nothing of the martyr In me. I simply wanted to be with him. There wasn’t time for us to go about it in the usual correct way and have him meet my father and stepmother. They're a thousand miles away. War creates unique circumstancen I wanted to belong to him. I don't know any other way to tell you." “I am older than you," Theo went <>n, "and I feel I must warn you that perhaps you haven’t merely married the man you love. • but ... a case history.

Kirby spoke for the first time. “She brings him at three-thirty." -Here we are," Theo said, turning her coat collar up. "Don't come with us, Lydia. Don’t leave Chris alone for very long." They got out and Lydia’s eyes followed their tall black heels over the snow. Though Theo walked carefully, she walked gracefully. There was nothing that could make her ungraceful. . . .
