On the positive side, why don t we stump a bit ourselves? Why don't we talk up and down the land about the wouders and glories of our free America? o o The forecast has already been made that scorching heat will arrive in August.

The 36.500 mark could be reached easily, with a little push from the sidelines. tj i o o Will material shortages and high costs curtail the building of houses this year?

Treating Ulcers of Stomach

By Herman N. Bundeaen. M. D. .MOST ulcer* of the stomach or flrat part of the Intestine can be treated successfully without op eration In tact. according to Dr Edward A. Cooney of Boaton about eight out of ten arc of this type. In the remaining case*. however. complications arise which demand surgical treatment if life is to he saved Among such complication! are perforation, obstruction, severe hemorrhage and recurrent bleed ing. Then, too. there are many who believe that an ulcer, when present for a long time, may be a factor in the development of can eer. Pain in Abdomen Ulcere cause such symptoms as pain in the abdomen, sickne-s to the stomach and vomiting The pain of ulcer usually come* on within one to three hours after eating and may he relieved by tak I ing milk or some alkaline sub Stance such as baking soda. But. when an ulcer perforates or eats through the wall of the stomach. the pain is extreme striking suddenly and seeming to renter tn the pit ot the stomach The muscles of the wall of the abdomen become rigid and hard. This is a grave emergency and one requiring immediate operation to every case where the paitont h to food -aooxh ««d«tion to withstand it. Tin louver opera

ing space and clerk hire to pro cess the returns, will eat up th. payment. -—o o Ed. Harris, a half breed Creel Indian who lives in iJecatur, 111. and has just celebrated his lOutt birthday, expresses u sentiment that may well have some basis ol solid fact: "When a man stays on this earth for 109 years. God probably puts him there for a purpose." He humbly admits that he doesn't know what the purpose is. but i&-rure then to MOM - I reason. o o Counties and cities will not receive additional gasoline tax mosey unless quarterly receipts exceed 87.3Cff,000. as provided for in the new bill passed by the legislature The only hope of municipalities to cope with the repair job of roads and streets, is a tremendous increase in gasoline consumption during the spring and summer months, in which case the highways will receive heavier traf fit and be in worse shape. — o — o

• Senator William Jenner has dis missed his million dollar libel i suit against the Indianapolis Star. . I At the time Candidate Jenner fll i ed charges against the newspaper., no one took it very seriously and the dlsmissial prove, that the . whole thing was a little political : play. The newspaper contended at 1 til.' tun. that it 111- rely printed tile spec. li of a political opponent anil ! did not make any charge against the plaintiff. <> O- — One of the evils that seem' naturally to accompany and follow war is vandalism. Boys, and also ! many grown-ups, often seem to seize a pent-up opportunity to de-i ' stray things just for the satisfac tion of it. The unnecessary dam i age thus wrought in one way and ' another, since the beginning of the last war. is Incalculable. Much of jit makes no sense at all for ex-; ample Jhe deliberate dainagttig< of public property, including park benches and shelters. u o Hunters may be permitted to j ' shoot deer this year in the Ur.iw--1 ford and Harrison county district in the state. One of the acts of ' the legislature was to legalize the killing of deer, if the Conservation Department deemed it practical. Il is estimated that the deer herd , numbers about 4.900 and farmers in the area have complained about the damage done by the animals to j orchards ami growing crops. The* bill also permits the farmer to I shoot at the deer as a means of scaring them away. If killing of ■ the deer is permitted, our guess Is | that an old fashioned buffalo• slaughter will ensue. Why not remove some of the deer to other' parts of the state?

! out. it is advisiblc that the pvtient j '• he given an injection of snlfadia-, • sine in solution into a vein. For the I first few days after operation. it is also suggested that the patient' be given an injection Into a vein of someamlno add preparation to supply him with material for, building tissues. Amino adds are I the substances which make np the i protein parts of food and which are needed for building body tis- ■ sues. Vitamins C and B-< omplex are also given in the same way. When a large amount of bleeding from an ulcer occurs, an at-1 tempt should be made to control i the emergency situation by giving injections of whole blood into a vein. Later on. after these transfusions have made the patient's condition better, an operation for removal of part of the stomach ' may be tarried out. Blot king of the opening from the I stonuch to the intestine in ulcer i esses is due to the fart that near | tissue has formed which contracts and narrows the outlet from the stomach. If this obstruction cannot be relieved by medical treat- • meat witbin a period of ten days, operation to correct the condition in featured. An individual with an lecer should, of course, be under the ' are of his physician so that it can be carefully checked (rum time to ttote. “ **•*” of a ‘” f ,b * I dwfacted and’ the

CHAPTER THIRTY-ONE i IT WAS burely dawn when Cliff fuddled and took the trail up through the dripping jungle to Big Swatnp. The night air, cool and damp, came flowing down from the hills, but he was only dimly aware of its refreshing touch. A host of doubts beset him us he rode, and the closer he approached the swamp, the more he questioned his own wisdom in coming. He was risking imprisonment and leaving his men without a leader on a long gamble. But he could think of no other way. Whatever the danger, he had to know if Norman and Vicente were actually planning a raid. The vital thing—more vita! than ever now—was to prevent a fight with the Blacklanders. That hope alone made it worth the chance. At the edge of the swamp he forced his unwilling horse down over the bank and out through the stagnant water, following the line of mangroves until at last the low contour of the island showed dimly through the mist. Head bent forward, eyes intent upon his narrow foothold, Cliff had almost reached the island's edge when he felt his horse rear, and looking up, saw Vicente watching him from the bank. For a bare instant Cliff hesitated, Ji’en touching his horse, climbed out of the marsh. Directly before Vicente he reined in. Not since the night of his capture had he seen the giant Blacklander, and now as he looked again into those taw-ny, hostile eyes, he felt the same sense of wonder at the bulk and latent strength of that huge figure. Even on horseback Cliff’s shoulders were scarcely level with Vicente's. The Blacklandcr spoke first. "How did you find this place?" "I followed Dr.- Norman’s tracks." •'You were foolish to come here. You will never leave." "Dr. Norman can deckle that. My business is with him." "And my business is with you.Vicente took a step nearer. "Get off that horse." His voice quivered with the eagerness of‘a hunting dog; the mouth all too clearly foretold his intention to force a fight —and conflict wi* the one thing Cliff wanted to avoid. "I have no quarrel with you, Vicente," be said quietly. “I came here to see your chief." At the big breed's laugh. Cliff realized that Vicente thought he was afraid. But It was too late. Before he could speak again, Vicentes arm wrapped about his waist and ripped him bodily from • the saddle. Towering over him, the Biacklander took a half step back, then raising his open hand, struck Cliff full in the face. The force of the Mow whirled Cliff to the edge of the bank, anti barely be saved himself from falling. Slowly he turned; his own eyes had gone red. Hu face was on fire. and something within Mm I snapfMd. The unpellfag need to I avora a quarrel, the putpuae of .Ws

i "You asked for this—l didn't," he growled. "Come on." No time for more—swift as a cat Vicente was on him. Twice Cliff struck, twice his fists beat into that huge, dark face, but heedless of the punishing blows, the big breed closed in for the kill. Before the menace of Vicente’s outstretched hands, Cliff gave ground, keeping just beyond arm's length, then, gathering himself, he struck again. His feet caught in the undergrowth, he fell, but was up as Vicente's fingers fastened about his shoulder, and with the strength of desperation Cliff lashed out wildly with both hands. For a second the Blackiandcr's grasp weakened, and Cliff jerked back with all his might. HL* shirt ripped to the waist, he felt the fiery sting of lacerated flesh, but he was free. Bearlike and crouching, bruised and bloody face thrust forward, Vicente was coming in again, his great gorilla handr weaving horribly. Steadily, mercilessly, he was driving Cliff back to where there would lie no room to escape those avid, clutching hands. Cliff saw his danger. Striking, dodging slashing out with long, clean blows, he knew his only hope lay in keeping Vicente away. Time after time he marked the face of his slower adversary, but it was as if Vicente did not even feel the force of blows that would have beaten a smaller man to insensibility. Almost at the edge of the swamp now—and for both of them almost the end of human endurance. Their breath came in strident, labored gasps; Vicente's face was bleeding, and Cliff's torn shoulder burned i like fire, but all unmindful and bei yond the stab of pain they fought on. like animals, held by the sav- , age urgency of blood-lust, while inch by inch Vicente drov’e Cliff i nearer the edge. Once more a savage rush forced . him a step backwards. There could be no more retreat-he was on the . very brink. Ten feet below hnn lay the yellow waters of the swamp; ■ and steadying himself, Cliff sprang. I Squarely on Vicente* jaw hl* fist I struck home; he saw the Mg breed ; wince, but in that same instant . two hands closed vice-like about t his throat—and held. Frantically, f arms hammering like pistons. Cli" rained Mow after Mow into the , other s face, cutting, brasing. flai'.r ing, to break that killing hold, but the fingers only lightened. f Cliff's lungs were crying for air; e his heart pounded in an agony of i. suffocation, and helplessly he - clawsd at the steel wrists, while * Vicante's bruised and swollen lipa a twisted in a smile. Little by little t Cliff felt his knees wc.dtening, a !, mist gathered before his eyes, and < dully, deeper than any physical e pain, he felt the black dgony ol e <lefeat With one last desperaU e summon* of strength, he threw himself backwards over the bank * pulling Vicente after Mm. n Lacked together, turning slowly n the two men struck with a splash o Thick, slimy water closed oves s them, but those haadi

of air. Waist deep, he crouched, coughing the water from his lungs, and with trembling hands wiped the scum out of his eyes. He took a wobbly step toward the bank, but at a sound he whirled. Scarcely a yard away Vicente struggled in the swamp. Shoulder deep, eye* glazed with terror, the breed was beating the stagnant water to yellow froth, and Cliff felt himself sicken in horror—Vicente had been caught in a quicksand pocket. Helplessly clutching the air. the huge hands rose, but the man's very efforts drew him deeper. Already his shoulder* were settling beneath the surface. Frantically Clift waded toward him. then stopped. Useless to try pulling him out—worse than useleas, for he would only join Vicente — and scrambling up the bank. Cliff raced to his horse. The anii mal reared in fright, but seizing the bit, Cliff led him to the water's i edge, and uncoiled the riata from ' his raddle. ’ With the rope between his teeth. ' be slid back into the swamp, but ; at the first step felt the mire suck- . ing at his ankles, and throwing ■ himself flat, he inched forward. A : second later he had slipped the r noose beneath Vicente's armpits, : and hand over hand dragged hlmi self back to shore. Weakly he r staggered—he was near the end. For a moment everything reeled > before hl* eyes, then steadying L himself, he jerked on the Mt. The r horse moved a few steps, the rope 1 grew taut. Again Cliff pulled. The horse I strained against the sudden weight, and from down in the swamp came I a gurgling mean, while slowly, like - some monster of the depths, the e form of Vicente rose from the ooze f that covered him, and was dragged to solid ground. 1 Kneeling. Cliff loosened ths 1 rope. The Blacklander's eye* were e closed, he lay motionless, scarcely y breathing, and twice Cliff tried to ; raise him, but now the strain of ’. that duel was taking Its t toll. Feebly, for the last time. Cliff J tried to lift the heavy body, then t ah the world went black. t Cliff woke to a sense of coolness f, and light. Vaguely he realized that v he was lying on a cot, and that by ' e his aide an Indian woman sat fan- >- ning him. He looked down and t saw he was stripped to the waist, and that his shoulder had been ■; bandaged. f Slowly, as his head cleared, he e began piecing together e fragments — Vicente, the light, * something else. Something-it was e Inqportant, but he was too tired to a remember. He closed his eyes, givd ing himself up to the delicious in nd ration of utter rest, and again he >t may have slept, for at the *ound e of a door creaking he saw a man k bending over him. i, A man not tall, but with strong, vigorous shoulder* ami thick red r. hair, graying at the temptea.
