Effect of Gastro-Intesti nal Allergy in Humans

By Herman N. Bundesen, M. 0. A person who becomes ill through eating certain foods which are harmless to others la said to have a food allergy. For Instance, strawberries, a great delicacy for most people, cause a certain few to break out in an Itching, burning ra»h. Another person, eating a food to which he happens to he over-sensitive, may develop symptoms affecting the stomach or bowels. Thia is known as a gastrointestinal allergy. According to Dr. Robert Chobot of New York, In aome cases, the patient may react within a period of fifteen minutea to one hour. In other cases, a period of as much aa three days may elapse before symptoms may develop. Feed Sensitivity Dr. Chobot also believes that If a child has a food sensitivity, it usually laats until he Is about five years of age and then, for some reason or another, tends to disappear. tn the infant, gastro-intestinal allergy usually is responsible for such things as colic, vomiting, and pains In the abdomen. The foods which most often produce the trouble are milt. e 8«« end wheat prod I •cU. i It is occasionally possible. ill «W» of children sesditive t» aaJik to overcome the symptoms "by giv- | tag evaporated milk, slack heating

creased in frequency with the rising tide of economic and international complexity- he just has to get away somehow, somewhere and bo alone for a few hours once in a while." o o A bill has been introduced in Congress baring political speeches over the radio on election day and on the eve of the day when Americans go to the polls. The authors vouch “there Is no desire to prevent the broadcasting of opinion or comment, but only to label It ss such." in explaining that news reports should not be editorial opinion Radio listeners may enjoy election eve without the dither of the last minute “view with alarm" speeches. o -o ■ It may be a little chilly to think of swimming, but plans are going ahead for opening the city pool at the municipal plant early this month. Harry Dailey, a member of the Decatur high school faculty, will be the supervisor in charge, and when It does warm-up the children will have the refreshing waters for bathing and recreational purposes. The pool is sanitary In every way and state health board approval will be ob-, tained before it is opened to the public. Present buildings conditions prevent the city from going ahead with plans for a larger pool in Worthman Field. . o o Suggestions are being made that expensive body trimming and numerous gadgets affixed to automobiles be reduced. Shiny new cars, resplendent with bright decoration, are mighty pleasing. Cigar lighten, radios, trick wind shield wipers are all very nice. But they cost money. There is room for two styles df cars, one following the elaborate designs now in vogue for those with the cash for them, the other, plainer, whose purpose is transportation minus frills. Many people can remember the unadorned cars of long ago, which were stripped of all extraneous decoration, priced within the range of the common man. o o As June comes in. the traditional time for college commencements one wonders about a criticism made recently of college graduates by Ohio's governor, Thornes J. Herbert. Speaking before an assemblage of college professors, the governor said he believed colleges and universities had failed to inculcate in their students a zest for public service. A too small proportion has been trained for leadership in public affairs. Too few have obtained a knowledge of the workings of democracy or are Imbued with a desire to fulfil their obligations as citizens through use of the ballot, participation in polities or in the hold Ing of public office.

seems to alter the protein part of the milk in such away that it no longer produces trouble. In other instances, it may be necessary to employ some milk substitute, such as a preparation made from soy beans. When a child is sensitive to eggs, of course the eggs may be eliminated entirely from the diet. Pain In Abdomen In the adult, gastro-intestinal allergy produces such symptoms an pain in the abdomen, burning sensations, and the presence of excessive amounts of gas In the stomach and bowel. Os course such symptoms may be produced by a variety of disorders, such as gallbladder disease, ulcer of the stomach, constipation and similar conditions. Hence, If It is suspected that the trouble is due to allergy, careful study must be carried out in order to be sure. It must be possible, if the symptoms are due to allergy, to reproduce them by giving the patient some of the food to which he is sensitive. Foods which seem to be particularly responsible tor producing the symptoms are sea food. nuts, and again, milk and eggs. Os ccurse. in ail cases, the treatment involves siiatlaatiag Dem tbs diet pom plotoly the foods which are producing the dificuity. k

TOMORROWS'LL be FAIR

CHAPTER FORTY-FIVE LATE ONE afternoon, Alan Holmea, l ousing at her desk in the office, happened to notice the date on her calendar pad. The nineteenth,” he jeered in goodnatured derision. "Don’t you even know what day it is. gal? Today's the twentieth.” He flipped the page over with an ink-stained finger. Sherry had known the date. She just hadn't been able to bear the thought of Bitting there, staring at it all day. June twentieth Lex's wedding day. It had seemed that if she could pretend today was the nineteenth, then tomorrow would be the twenty-first and the day in between would bo lost It would never have been at all. Such a silly form of seif-deception. Such an ostrich-like burying of one’s bead in the sand. Sherry smiled up at Alan and he was suddenly struck by her pallor, ber shadowed eyes. And wasn't she thinner? She said, “Just absent-minded, I guess. Or else you keep me so bux-y I don’t have time to turn my calendar page." Alan's glance was direct, questioning. “You’re all right, aren’t you? Not ill or anything? You look sort of peaked." Sbe grasped the age-old feminine excuse. "Just a beadache,

that’s all." "Why don’t you go home and lie down? It’s almost quitting time, anyway." Sherry said gratefully, "I will go, if you don’t mind. Only I think a walk wiU do mt more good than lying down." Alan grinned. "Bet you end up on your favorite hill, just sitting, looking down over the valley. Never saw such a girl for contem plating the countryside." "Communing with nature, that’s what I da" Despite the lightness of her tone, the editor s kindly gaze remained troubled as be watched Sherry clear her desk and get up to go. The poor kid. She looked as though she were in a hole of some sort Laura had hinted at an unhappy love affair in the background. Maybe that was It Women took such things hard, he guessed. Sherry walked blindly through the gentle summer evening, a slim figure in a light Hua frock and white sandals that made her bare legs look very tan by contrast She went east along Main Streetfour Hocks, five. She spoke when some acquaintance addressed her. But she couldn’t have said whom she met A little breeze stirred tlie soft hair against her neck, her shadow stretched long before her. At the edge of town she left the highway and took a narrow, unpaved road which circled gradually upward. Clover grew thick and sweet all about Ordinarily Sherry gloried in its pink loveliness, but today, so great was her self-ab-sorption. she was unaware of it, although she drew its fragrance into her lungs with every breath. After a little while the road dwindled to* jnere track the as-

City Police Report One Man Arrested Arrest Local Man As Reckless Driver An arrest, a stolen bicycle and an incident involving property destruction were reported today from the city police blotter by chief Dd Miller. Ernest C. Foreman. 317 Line street, was to appear before Mayor John B. Stults In city court late today to answer to a charge of reckless driving. He was arrested by city police about 1:30 o'clock Saturday morning on Thirteenth street.

True Miller, of 121 South Tenth street, reported to city police that vandals destroyed a number of spruce evergreen trees at his home over the weekend by pulling out the tops of the trees. Wage Hike Has Drawback Houston. Tex. (UP)— Getting into the better wage bracket has its disadvantages, too, as 156 residents of a Houston low-cost housing project found out. The families face eviction because their incomes exceed the 12.600 limit set by the Houston Housing Authority. Preference Is given to families whose total income is less than 11.800 a year. 0 Mother-Daughter Team Albany, N.Y.

cent became steeper. Then, through a thicket of trees, she came out onto the crest of the hill and the valley lay spread before her, the river cutting through it, the farms dotting Its fertile bottom land, the roofs of the town clustered off to the right Sherry sat down on the coarse grass and clasped her arms around her knees, waiting for the serenity the peaceful scene below usually laid upon her spirit But her thoughts were too groping, too confused. Will this place be my home always she wondered? Will I live here when I am ai- old woman 1 like Miss Spence, brittle with l years? Will the town and its people grow more familiar to me, 1 dearer, coming at last between me I and the hurting memory of old friends, of places lost to me? And 1 win they make Lex's face grow , dimmer in my mind ? And the feel ; of his arms about me that night on the bridge? And the touch of , his lips that meant nothing to him 1 and so very much to me? r But it was no good thinking about Lex. Think of the future, Sherry told t herself sternly. Don't brood. Don’t 1 look back. She tried to flx her thoughts on ■ the man Laura had aaid she might , meet someday and be attracted to.

She tried to give this stranger features, a personality. But he seemed to stand tali and easy in her mind's eye, with a shock of brown hair, with gray eyes that were warm and friendly. He was Lex Morell. Must it always be Lex, Sherry wondered. And would she grow old alone and unloved, aa Mias Spence had, never narry, never have children? Such an empty, futik life. Laura had said that time would help. And there was a quiet wisdom in Laura Holmes that Sherry trusted. Maybe Laura was right about this—Sherry hoped so. She hoped so with all her hungry aching heart. A twig snapped In the stillness and Sherry realized that someone was coming along the path behind her. She resented the thought of intrusion and wondered a little, too, since no one had ever come here before to violate her privacy. She got to her feet, Intending to leave. She smoothed the skirt of her blue dress, turned her back on the panorama oflthe valley. And then her heart began to race and her breath crowded her throat She stood staring, bewildered, not sure whether she saw, or only I Imagined. A tall, easy-moving figure strode i toward her. LEX. It was Lex! These were his hands, closing hard around hers, these his eyes, this his mouth. Sherry couldn't speak, . she couldn’t move. She could only I stand, spellbound, her eyes wide ’ and questioning, her lips parted. U:x couldn’t apeak, either, tor a ■ moment. But he could move.

the warmth of his lips. An ecstasy too sweet to be borne flowed through her. And every sense responded. Now she was thrillingiy aware of the fragrance of clover all about, the muted song of birds. Now she was complete and whole, as she had never been and never could be, except with Lex, except knowing all the things his kiss and the hungry grasp of his arms told her. Knowing he loved her as she loved him and that they would be together from this moment on. After a while Lex began to talk, still holding Sherry close as though he were afraid she might escape. "I got to the newspaper office just as your boas was locking up. He told me where I could probably find you, so I drove as far as I could and ran the rest of the way. I’d have come for you days ago, but Steve said 1 had no right to ask you to marry me till Td taken time to think. As though I needed time to think, once you were gone and I realized how I missed you!” His voice was husky. "Sherry, It’s been—" "I know," she murmured. "I’ve been through it, too." "That’s why Steve made me wait," Lex went on. "He said I’d already given you such a bad time, he wanted me to be absolutely sure. . . And oh. Sherry, lam sure—for always. Will you forgive me—and marry me?" "Oh, darling, yes," she told him. But she was still groping groggily. ’’Kay—l thought you loved her.” "I thought so, too," Lex said. "Until after you went away—after I let you go, like the complete fool I was! Then it seemed as though the bottom had dropped out of my life and there wasn't anything left" -You—told Kay?" He nodded. "It was pretty rugged. She was so furious she lashed out at me with a lot of things 1 hadn't suspected." But there would be time to tell Sherry all of that later. Lex said, "I don’t believe she ever really loved me. But It doesn’t matter now, any of it—except that I’m sorry I made you unhappy." “That doesn’t matter, either," Sherry told him, her eyes alight “Because I’m happier now than anyone has a right to be. Oh, darling, think of It! We’ll live on our farm and have lots of children. And Mother and Vai will feel sorry tor me—and I'U feel sopry for them—" She broke suddenly into a peal of gay young laughter. “What's so funny?” Lex denuded. grinning. "Our farm? Our children?” "Me,” Sherry told him. "Because Just a few minutes before you came, I was sitting here, feeling sorry for myself because I was sure I was going to die an old maid", "That." Lex assured her, "I will save you from!" They stood there on the brow of the hill, clinging to each other and laughing. And it seemed a happy omen for the life they would have together—the very good life. (The M)
