Tell-Tale Tongue Aids M. D.

By Herman N- Bundsssn, M. D SO far as the physician is run cerne<f. the tongue is a tell-tale even when aiienl. ranking with pula-- and trm|M>rahirr as u gauge nf his patient* «outfit ton The ap>earati<e of the tongue gives the doctor many clue? to work with and may sometimes even indicate the Hpe<ific disorder he has to deal with. RkMM may affect the tongue in three ways, causing it io become dry. coated or smooth. When the amount of fluids in the body is dec leased, the tongue become* dry Thus a dry tongue indicates that the iaidy is dehydrated or larking In water. Little Structures When the tongue is coated, it is usually due to an overgrowth of little struilurca i ailed papiiiae The cause of the enlargement is not known A smooth tongue is. due to wasting of the papillae.

Senator Vandenberg, leading Republican statesman, related in an interview that United Nations organization is functioning in a . way that already "tempered" several situations that might have 1 otherwise lead to war. The Michij gan senator believes that time will bring about a better understanding with Russia, but that this country cannot "condone nor appease conquest.” 0 A strike of retail clerks closed 2,000 food stores in the Los Angeles area. When it is proposed to limit strikes which seriously affect the public, welfare, grocery clerks have not ordinarily been thought of as coming under the proposal. An argument could be ■ made for applying such a restriction in their case. Should it be ' done, and what arc the arguments on the other side? o o Now that the United States has become a world power, with its eyes more and more on world questions. it's a good thing for Americans to think about their own backyards, and their obligations to them. While charity needs not stay at home, it must begin there. Happiness prosperity, justice, economic and political strength in these United States mean the sains blessings in equal ratio fur the world. For whether Americans like it or not, they have taken on world obligations, and these can be adequately discharged only if home affairs are in order. Nine children in a Minnesota family fell victim to infantile paralysis and all recovered without crippling after-effects. The Nation al Foundation in recognizing this miracle, also gives credit to the fact the local Minnesota county chapter had sufficient funds to remove the children to the university and state hospitals for immediate treatment. In the campaign for the March of Dimes, half of the proceeds collected are retained by local chapters for emergency cases at home. When you give to the fund, you make it possible for county organisations to lend a helping hand in the fight 1 against ikilio. O ■ O-; A report from the American Library Association says that readers are dissatisfied with the fiction available. There Is no demand among the general reading publictor books about the war. They stand untouched on thu shelves while patrons search in vain for books which mirror their own problems. Many writers believe that in order to picture reality they must dwell on the sordid, cheap, sensational aspects of lite. Life docs not have these aspects in Home places aud at some times. But the average lite Is not lived at such levels, being neither sordid nor sublime, but somewhere between. The average reader wants) i books which, without lacking drama. still reflect life as he knows it, and which give him a feeling of kinship with the characters.

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN "Is Philip like Mary?" Hrs. Bowman asked. "Oh, not in the least." "Maybe Mary is like her mother then?” 'Mrs. Lane says she is," Anne admitted reluctantly, knowing what her mother would make of lh_t. "Umm. Os course you realise that a stepmother is also a second wife. That’s not always so easy, either. Do you know why he was divorced?" “No." “Well, Td want to know, if I were you." "You sound as If everything was settled but the date.” Anne’s voice had an edge to it. "There’s absolutely nothing between us • "Mary's mother must be very attractive if Mary is like her,’’ Mis Bowman murmured a* though she had not heard. Mrs. Lane had called Shelia one of the most attractive girls she had ever known Anne stirred restlessly. Philip had not acted like a man who wm grieving over a wife who had deserted him. He had acted as though he were relieved at being free. Surely he couldn't have cared very much. Anne remembered his annoyance at the idea that Mary was like her mother. Somehow the recolIcctios was not as reassuring as it might have been. Mrs Bowman said no more, but Anne's matter-of-fact acceptance of her friendship with Philip was broken. She went over in her mind everything they had said to each other that she could remember. By Bunday she was in a state of complete uncertainty concerning her •wn feelings as well as bls. She almost wished some emergency would keep him from coming, and at the same time she knew how disappointed she would be if he didn't. All Sunday morning she listened for a telephone call from Philip to say he had been held up, but whesi it had not come by noon, she assumed he was on his way. With more relief than she was willing to admit, she went, rather belatedly, In search of Mazy, and found her at the end of the garden with Mr Bowman, who was building a miniature castle of sand and atone. "Philip will be here pretty soon, Mary," she said. "Don't you think you'd better come and get cleaned up?* "But Anne, I’ve got to help Mr. Bowman finish this tower." Anne looked at the tiny castle, complete with moat and drawbridge. "It’s beautiful. Dad. How long before it will be finished?" "Doesn't look as if it ever would be," her father admitted ruefully. "I keep adding another tower or dungeon to It; and I only work on i it a while on Sundays, and then | only when your mother la writing her stories." ( They smiled at each other. < Mother’s stories had always been 1 a private Joke between them, and I ■till were, even though she had succeeded in publishing a novel. 1 “This tower is almost finished," Mary said. “And I did most of it" ' “I know you did." Anne looked < at her. Bhe had on * pair of Anne’s ■ vid overalls, dug out of the attic trunk, and she was dirty and dis- i beveled; but Anne thought she 1 bed never looked more engaging I Even so. Anne wanted to uiess ] her up. “You’re so dirty, Maty, end your i yellow dress to all laid dut for you. <

about to fall oil He rescued the hat, set it on Mary's head, and held out hi* hand. "I see you survived." Anne flushed faintly under his smiling regard. "What do you i think of your ragamuffin? I tried to get her arrayed tn yellow tn your honor, but all in vain. She apparently thinks you have no esthetic eye." "S-o, she wouldn’t get dressed up for a fellow? I like that." “1 didn’t have time to get all dressed up," Mary protested. “I was helping Mr. Bowman." “Here comes Dad now," said Anne, as Mr. Bowman, who had risen and brushed himself off, started towards them. They met him half way across the lawn, and Anne, introducing Philip and her father, had the comfortable assurance that they would like each other. “We’re mighty happy to have you down here today. Doctor." Mr. Bowman said, and Philip answered, "I was afraid I wasn’t going to be able to make it, and I particularly wanted to meet Anne’s family, and see this place." Mary had fairly held her breath until these few words were spoken, and now she plunged in. “Come and see the tower I made. Philip. It’s the one for the princess to be locked up in before the prince rescues her." Anne left them there and went up to the house to get lunch. Instead of resting thia last week, she had done most of the work. Her mother had lamented the fei-t, "I hate to have you doing everything while I scribble," she had protested on every occasion. "But when the fit is on me, I can’t do anytiling else." Anne, with Mary on her hands besides, had put in a strenuous week. She hoped her mother would finish in time for lunch, but she was well aware that if the spirit moved her, Mrs. Bowman was capable of staying at her typewriter all day. She emerged, however, when Anne was ready to call the men. Oh, Anne, I’m sorry you had it all to do; but I was so absorbed. Has your doctor come yet?" “He’s been here for ages. Dad and Mary are showing him around." She went to the back door and looked out Philip and Mr. Bowman were sitting on a bench under the old apple tree, which was bent almost to the ground with apples. Anne had been expecting Mary to make herself sick on them ever since their arrival; but though she was still eating them, there had been no bad effects so far. re * , y" ebe called. "Where’s Mary?" “She's tn the tree." Philip rose and help up his arms. “Jump, Monkey." "Yon didn’t know you had a tomboy, did you?" Anne asked •J 1 /?.?* carne u ? 00 the Pore* with the small overaHed figure on his shoulder. 1 didn't Where did you leave Mary, Tommy?" "At Mrs. Lane's," Mary giggled.
