A Serious Type of Anemia , » S

By Herman N. Bundesen, M. 0. UNTIL recent yearn, a diagnosis of pernicious anemia meant just one thing-death There was nothing—absolutely nothing-even the best of doctors could do to save ■ patient with this disorder. Today, however, the picture is quite different. The disease itself remains incurable but if it is recognized before permanent damage has heen done, the patient can not only be kept alive, but well and active. Thus, liecause the stakes are so great, it is important to know that pernicious anemia is a disease that creeps up on a person very slowly and gradually, usually, after the age of 30 years. Weakness is often the first symptom noted and for a long time it may be the only one. In about one-third of the patients, however, indigestion is also an early complaint. This killer may signal its approach by nothing more than mild attacks of diarrhea from time to time. Constipation to also common and often there is an excessive amount of gas in the stomach and bowel. At first there is no great loss of weight but the surface of the tongue often becomes smoothed out and red. and the liver is enlarged. As the condition progresses. there may be some numbness and tingling of the hands and feet and in the later stages of the disorder there may be actual paralysis. In pernicious anemia there seems to be an excessive destruction of the blood's red cells. As fast as they be manufactured in the red bone marrow, the red ceils are broken up and killed off.

The House haa voted to do away with government controls over building materials and sentiment In Congress la also in favor of letting rent controls die with 1 the termination of the present t law on June 31. Congress may . want to shirk lie responsibilities 1 because of the political effect on control measures, but the veteran who hasn’t been able to get a home, Is convinced that he is the football. 0 Far be It from us to broach a thought that might dampen one’s zest for mushroom hunting and eating of the fungi, but the Indi ana State Medical Associations, warns citizens of the danger in getting the poisoned variety. And maybe we need not worry too much on this score, since the raedi' I cal authorities say that it takes ■ six to eighteen hours before the ] poison symptoms develop. "The idea that a silver coin will become tarnished from the poisonous var-' leties if It is put in the dish in | which mushrooms are cooked is false. Taste is not a reliable test either, for poisonous species have ’ ] an agreeable flavor" is the advice 1 given by the authorities. < —o . The tariff should be lowered ” What makes this advice remark (| ! able is that it comes from a former Republican presidential can- u dldate, Aif M Landon. After tbe " first world war, low tariff sent!- <■ ment seemed to fade out. The ’ Fordney-McCumber act of 1922 was warmly supported. There was h considerable opposition to the Smoot-Hawley act of 1930, but more over specific rates than from a low-tariff conviction. Then followed opposition to Hull’s meas- ( ures to reduce tariffs by -reciprocal I trade agreements with other na- ’ Hons. Does Landon's stand sig 1 nal a break-up of the former unyielding high-tariff viewpoint? 1 s ——-o— —o ——- r A newspaper survey made in, j Indianapolis shows that more than j r half of the voters are yet undecid- 1 ed on who they will vote for in ' the mayoralty primary election next Tuesday. There are five can-. l ' dldates on each party ticket and 1 no one has a majority of the - straw votes. Among the Republic can candidates is James M. Daw-1 ( son. former Indiana lieutenant- , governor and on the Democrat. ticket are Al G. Feeney, former Marion county sheriff and George i 8. Dailey, son of Frank Dailey, a former resident of Bluffton aud once the Democrat's candidate for governor. William 11. Wemmer. Republican and Feeney are lead-j ing the field, according to the survey.

-— In an effort to make good thisi wholesale slaughter of important red cells, the bone marrow begins to release red cells before they are ready. Thus numbers of abnormal and immature cells are found in the blood stream. At the same time the number of white cells is also decreased. Hence an examination of the blood will tell whether pernicious anemia exists or not. Contents of Stomach Whenever this disease is us ported the contents of the stomach should be tested, too. since in pernicious anemia the amount of acid is reduced. Os recent years, wre have learned that this formerly total disease is due to lack of a certain substance known as the intrinsic factor. This substance Is found In large amounts in liver amd liver extract. Thus, so lone as the pernicious anemia patierrt to supplied with the missing substance through doses of liver extract, he gets along well. The treatment. , however, can never be stopped but must be continued throughout life. The Patient's Blood According to Dr. George K. Minot of Boston, after Che patient's blood has been returned to normal by means of treatment with liver extract, a dose us IS uu its of liver extract given every ftwo weeks suffices in most cases go keep the blood normal. When the condition |s severe it may be necessary to give injections of whole blood is to a vein. However, such treatment is only necessary at the beginning. and later on the use of th*e liver extract serves to keep tbn patient in normal condition

TOMORROW^l FAIR

CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO SHERRY AND Lex came out of 1 the darkened theater into the r bright glare of the lobby, laughing. "That was fun," Lex said. "I 1 like a good comedy." "So do I," Sherry agreed, tying i her white wool scarf under her ' chin, pulling on her mittens. They made their way out and ’ along the almost deserted village street toward the spot where Lex had parked the ear. There had , been no snow for several weeks 1 and all the drifts had melted away. * > The night was chii! and clear and ’ i ; windless and the stare were a giant handful of sequins thrown against . the velvet backdrop of the sky. , r Sherry said. "It’s such a lovely night. Lex. And I’m tired of sit- ‘ ‘ ting. Let's walk down and take a look at the river." Lex agreed and soon they were ' ’ leaning on the stone parapet of the bridge, etaring down at the darkly murmurous flow of water. 1 They were alone. Only an occasional sweep of headlights from a 1 passing car intruded on their privacy. ( Sherry said, "It's a nice old j river. 1 wonder how many other .. people have stood and looked down at it this way?" "Plenty," Lex chuckled. "But not in the middle of winter, I imagine." ) "Why? The river's just as nice . now as any other time." ‘ "Bure, it is. Only most people . kind of forget about it in the winter, unless they're going skating or something. You're just differt ent. Sherry. You have different >• ideas than most people." J "Is that good?” Sherry asked, I grinning up at him across her , shoulder. • "I think it is," Lex told her. "I like people who are different. Too ** many seem all turned out of the same mold. Maybe that's modern I civilization, but it gets kind of ; monotonous. It's worse in cities, •• 1 think. There are lots of rugged 1: individualists in a little town like ; this. Take Steve—he's the way he is and nothing could change him. .. Aunt Pen's a nonconformist in lots of ways, too. And there are plenty * of others. It’s refreshing." “And yet," Sherry pointed out, II "I’m a city girl—and you say I'm different" "You're no city girt. That Is— K well, you live In the city, but you < aren’t of the city—if I'm not getn ting too involved." "You are," Sherry laughed, "mucht But 1 think I get what you mean. Just like—you lived in the city for a long while, then r i found out it wasn’t what you h i wanted, that you didn't fit in. I '• guess Tm that way, too—only I >’ don't seem able to break away. I • guess I haven't enough courage,"

Pair Convicted In Mergenthaler Case Guilty Os Charges Os Grand Larceny New York. May 3—(UPl—Jimmy Collins, 44-year-old Broadway gambler, and Irving (Izzy the Eel I Cohen. 44. a dress manufacturer, were convicted of first degree grand larceny early today In the 3780,000 Mergenthaler Llfiotype Co. swindle. Collins and Cohen were the fit.’t of four defendants tried In Hie fantastic plot by which a mildmannered clerk drained almost a million dollars from the company with phoney invoices. Collins, convicted on all 77 counts charged against him. faced a maximum sentence of 770 years In prison and Cohen, a previous offender convicted on 41 of s‘> counts, could be sentenced to a total of 830 years. An all male jury returned with the verdict at 2:45 a. in. after deliberating 5 hours ami 25 minutes. Cohen, who has been convicted previously for grand larceny, lulled when the verdict was announced. He could be sentenced to from lit •<» 2<t years on each count Collins grinned weakly when the verdict was announced. Collins. alias Julius Loltel. faced only 5 to lo year sentences on each count because he had no previous < onvlctions. Martin Benjamin, attorney foi Collins, thanked county judge Samuel L'ibowitz for "the fair; and humane way in which youi conducted this trial in fegard to his tCollin'sl case.” The two men went on trial j April 17 and the case was given lo (lie jury last night after a three and one-half hour charge l>y | Ijeibowltz. He cautioned the jur ors not to judge the men on the | previous records. William Arthur Nickel, who confessed his pan in the swindle following his capture in Miami ■ Beach. Fla., last fail, was the key i witness for lhe prosecution. Nickel, a 3'>4 a-week clerk for tin- ] Mergenthaler company, was lhe < inside man in the plot in which the firm was swindled out of 3780.000 from October, 1945, to a

"You have plenty of courage," Lex told her. "It’s different for a man." “Yea, 1 suppose so. The thing Is, i it's such a reversal of the usual i procedure. Lots of country girls go to the city to get jobs. But when a city girl prefcra the country—that’a queer. Besides, It's so hard not to do what people expect of you.” "Do y u mean your mother?" "Mainly, yea," Sherry admitted. "She's always done so much for us —for my sister and mo. She'a worked so hard. And—l am grateful for everything. It’a just that the things tha; are so vital to Mother aren’t what 1 want at all. The way ot life she has ail planned out for me—well, I don’t like it For one thing, 1 wanted to go to public high school, to the alate university—but Mother wouldn't hear of it She chose—and paid fori—a terrifically expensive finishing school, where I met girls whose fathers wera very wealthy men, whose brothers would be eventually. Girls like Angie Pemberton. whom J still see a good deal of and with whom i have practically nothing tn common." "And has your friend Angie • brother?" Lex asked. Sherry stared at him. "Yes. Angie has a brother, Joel, who is Mother’s idea of a perfect husband for me." “But you don't agree?" "Joel la all right" Sherry admitted, "but 1 don't love him. I haven't encouraged him, because 1 don't believe I ever could love him. Mother thinks that’s very foolish of me." Lex was silent for a moment He reached Into his pocket and offered Sherry a cigarette, took one for himself. In the brief revealing flare of the match he held In bls cupped hands, her young face looked troubl w Lex said, leaning on the parapet once more, their shoulders just touching, "It seems to me to be a question of whether you’re going to live your own life according to your own ideas, or the way your mother’s planned It Isn't that what you must decide?” Her cigarette glowed brightly as she drew on it "Yes, 1 suppose so. But—ao long as I don't know just how I want to live my life, Lex—exactly what I want to do—?” Her low voice held a question. ”1 mean—well, if I had a definite course all mapped out then I could say to Mother, This is what I’m going to do. My mind's made up.* But it isn't that way at all. I'm just mixed up, sort of groping. I know I'm not satisfied, but I don’t know how to work things out to suit me better. So—l Just drift along." “There's nothing wrong in that,”

Lex said, "If you don't drift too long. It gets to be a habit. And If you let someone else decide everything for you, that gets to be a habit, too.” Sherry said, Tt Isn’t that my mother'a a domineering sort ot person, exactly. She’s busy with her job, too absorbed tn it to get all bound up in Vai and me—as some mothers who haven't any outside Interests let themselves get But when anything important comes up, when we have a decision to make—well, she doesn’t seem to realize we're grown up, that we have minds ot our own. She still seems to look on us as children—or she did." Sherry amended, "until Vai married. Ot course, it's different with Vai now." "I should think so," Lex said drily. Sherry’s tone grew rueful "Pm afraid I’ve given you n very bad impression of Mother. And I didn’t mean to. But you're so easy to talk to, you break down my inhibitions. Mother's a grand person in many ways—ei. only wants me to be happy. It's—just that our ideas of happiness don’t seem to agree." "Happiness leant different things to different people." Lex toued his cigarette away. It made a bright arc tn the darkneas. "But you’ll work it out, Sherry. As you say, when you know definitely what you want tc do, It'll be different You'll have tbe courage to hold out for your own form of happiness. 1 know it" T hope so," Sherry said. "But sometimes I feel so unsure, so confUECd—" "Everyone has spells like that," Lex assured her atout y. "Especially nowadays—lt’s partly the times, I think. The whole world is pretty unsure end confused. We thought the war was going to settle so many things. Now It looks as ; though it only served to bring our , problems Into sharper focus and we’ve still got to work them out > the beat we can. Way I figure, ■ life’s got almoat too complicated for humans to cope with. A little simplification would be a good i tiling. May be that’s why the Idea of . life in the country, of fanning, ap- ; peals to me. Lots ot people are > starting to get the same urge. ’ Maybe it's an unconscious striving I toward away of life that's funds- ] i mental and solid.
