What May Cause Backache \

— — J -r— — •y Herman N. Bundesen, M. 0. IT to strange but true that the only complaint a patient may have is a backache when actually what he is really suffering from is an abdominal disorder. According to Drs. Henry J. Ta men and Joseph C. Yaskln of Phlb adelphta. pain in the back is fre* Sue- tly caused by such abdominal ailments as gallstones, ulcers of the stomach or Intestine, inflammation of the pancreas, colitis or inflammation of the bowels, and •ven by escesslve amounts of gas in the digestive tract. Many Conditions <Tf course, backache may be pn> dared by doxens of other conditions, some of them affecting the back Itself. Among these are inflammation of the Joints of the spine, tumors of the spine, muscle inflammation, or a displacement of some of the little disks or cushions of cartilage which separate the bones of the spine. Or again, it may be a symptom often U only um— -of a tumor of the pan creas or kidney. Thus, the important thing to remember about backache Is that it is only a symptom Before it can be treated. the condition causing it must be discovered Within tn« Abdomen is due »oi

around the world, a group of American newspaper editors and publishers lauded at La Guardia . field just 13 days after their takeof June 17. Due of them was Paul Bellamy, editor of the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Commenting on the "poverty and sorrow" he saw everywhere on the trip looked forward to what America's role should be in aid. "We will have to give of <>ur substance, but not be misled to give all or fooliahiy.” he said. 0 o— — A "Children's Bill of Rights" has been formulated by a group of judges In the Superior and Circuit Courts of Illinois. In accordance with it the divorce court will en list the help of churches and social agencies in trying to save marriages which are brought to the court for dissolution. If this first Important step fails, recommends tlons will be made by the court to cover alimony, support of children, and the vital question of custody These social minded legal men expect that their program will lead to a decrease in juvenile delinquency and thd deiiendency of children. p o One of the most difficult things in human life at present is clear presentation of the facts of atomic life. An Australian delegate to tbe Ini ted Nations Commission has been complaining that most of the news correspondents of the United Nations are incapable of presenting the facts along this line. The great trouble, as with any specialty, music criticism for instance is that the scientific specialists aren't apt to be very gpod al writing, and the writing folks aren't apt to be scientific. It takes a pretty good all-around, well-educated reporter to grip that dilemma by hoth horns. o o—It may be a little early to talk football, but a game that looms in the picture is the November Bth contest between the Army and Notre Dame at the latter's stadium. To keep the tickets from failing into the bauds of scalpers, the 53,368 reserved seats in the ND stadium have been alloted to categories. With the exception of 14,000 alloted to West Point Military Academy, tbe remaining reservations will be distributed to alumni, the student body, former season ticket holders parents of students, the faculty, press, community, St. Mary's college and benefactors. Tbe university's football ticket committee, in announcing the plan, states. "Interest in this game is Incredible and the task of distribution is a ponderous one.” Those privileged to buy a ticket, must certify that it Is for personal use. This will be the last football game between the two schools, tbe sale of tickets being one of the headaches that caused the decision to drop the contests between the famous teams.

Physical activity may not cause any discomfort during the day, but pain develops during the night. Lying on the back may often make the condition worse, and the pa tient is usually relieved hy lying in a position in which the spine is bent forward. The pain caused by ulcer of the stomach or first part of the bowel may be felt in the back instead of the pit of the stomach. If the pain produced by such an ulcer is unusually severe, it may Indicate that tbe ulcer has ruptured. Collection of gas In the large bowel or colon may cause pain In the back Just under tbe ribs. This •pain Is usually worse during the •night or early morning, particularly If the patient suffers from conatipaUoa. • ♦, m • <dt Thus, when the patient suffers from backache.

Afterward Wentz told newsmen sentiment sot Dewey now "is strong throughout rhe state. But. he said, "no one can deliver the Oklahoma delegation." State GOP leaders indicated that Dewey faced competition in Oklahoma from senators John Pricker and Robert Taft of Ohio and Arthur Vandenberg of Michigan. In 1941 Dewey received 18 of the state's 20 votes. The other two went to Bricker who became Dewey's running mate. Former Governor Alfalfa Bill Murray told reporters he was "going to stay neutral' this time. Three years ago be suppt rted Dewey. Reports from St. Louis indicated that Dewey's visit there with national GOP committeeman Barak T. .Mattingly Saturday had stirred up a Missouri hornet's nest. E. W. Bromwich. Missouri state GOP committee treasurer, declared that he did not agree with .Mattingly, "who. according to a press release from the Dew ey train, predicted that the Missouri delegation would be for Dewey next year. Bromwich said he believed some delegates would back Harold E. Stassen and other candi dates. Siamese people believe the white elephant contains the soul of a dead person, perhaps a Buddha, according to the Encyclopedia Britannica. The animal la baptized and feted and la mourned at its death like a human being.

‘ CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE DIANE WENT in the afternoon to a beauty parlor—not to the I neighborhood one she hac been patronizing since she married but, on a sudden impulse, to Antoine’s more exclusive "Salon des Femmes." Antoine, himself, grcet--1 ed her effusively. Bernice, who had always taken care of her, who had come to the house on Oak Avenue ,on the evening of the wedding to her hair under the lace cap of her veil, left another patron and rushed up to serve her. "It is quite all right that you made no appointment, Mrs. Arden," asserted Antoine and Bernice in the same voice. I ! "I want everything," said Diane. • | Bernice’s expert fingers on her scalp and skin were soothing. Bernice’s voice, cooing over her. “Lovely! Lovely, I always think, when I do your hair, Mra Arden. It’s as soft as a child's!" Through the mirror Diane considered her hair, in golden confusion, now. "Call Antoine before you set the wave." she said. When Bernice ’summoned him, Antoine came, bowing, smiling, to i the booth. “Antoine, I’m tired of the way I’ve been wearing my hair. Can’t you think of something different ?" "My lady would change her personality ?" murmured Antoine, shaking his head, pulling down his Ups. “That would be most sad!” 1 "That is exactly what I want to do!" ! "There Is a new vogue—but it suggests sophistication, Mrs. Arden, the superficial! And you are not that type! You are a—natural, may I say? You do not need to ; employ devices—" I Diane’s tough at that had no amusement in it, nor did it thank Antoine for the compliment he was implying. ’Try it,” she directed. t I She watched, her eyes narrowed and her brows drawn over them, while Antoine deftly worked with her hair. Bernice watched. Bernice said proudly: "You can do anything with Mrs. Arden s hair!" And so it seemed. For when Antoine finished it lay brushed smoothly from the nape of her neck and her temples to the top of her bead where it bunched in a soft cluster of curia But Antoine, though an artist in his soul and therefore instantly aware that the new arrangement emphasized the fine modeling of 1 wane’s head and throat, still shook his head. "It takes from your youth!" "I want it to," Diane answered quickly. “Tell me, bow do 1 keep these curls in?” He showed her. With her naturally wavy hair, all that was necessary was a little dampness, a twwt of the finger, a pin here, a pin there. The hat? He lifted his shoulders. The milhnery designers I»ere anticipating this new b*!r dress The fall models were in, she wenud ace—

He was taken to the hospital in tbe Zwick ambuI lance. Two Men Released In Wives* Custody Two Monroeville Men wdre released to the custody of their wives, one carrying a small child, late Saturday afternoon after creating a ecene In downtown Decatur. Tbe men. presumably having Imbibed too freely, attempted to enter the projection booth at the Tort theater and the rear of the Ahr Ma ker The one entering the theater suffered an injury to his hand when the operator slammed the <!<><>r on It.

■ ■ ■ i« > r Diane went bareheaded to a mili finery shop nearby. “Very chic!" > said the salesclerk of an absurd i bit of head covering which Diane , decided on. "A gown of this same i color—it’s the new Algerian blue i and it’s vpry becoming to you, Mrs. , Arden." I Diane went to another shop and I found a dress of the new Alergian i blue and bought it It would mean » some rebudgeting, but she gave s that only a fleeting thought She i felt stimulated by the afternoon, » stirred out of her numbness. “Ani toine said it! It's a new personai- . ity I must develop!" s She put on the new dress. The deep blue of tropic skies but nevertheless, armor. Bill telephoned to her to go on . to his mother’s without him. That . he’d just about get there in time , to sit down to dinner. Mrs. Arden said: "Diane, your hair! It makes you look older!" Diane patted the curls smooth. . "I should look older, shouldn’t I? , Married and about to become a mother?" Bill’s father came out of his > study, a book under his arm, a > finger still between two of the > pages. He put it down to take Diane’s hand tn a warm clasp. "Miriam has told me. I am very happy about it, my dear, proud." Mrs. Arden excused herself to i go to the kitchen to superintend Bella’s last minute preparations, . and Diane was left with Bill’s father. ; "We hope, of course, that It will be another William Arden,” he . said, smiling. "Another man of , law. It’s rather curious how that ( has gone through my family." "But you missed It," said Diane. » though with no interest In her ; voice. . Then she saw a look of humility cross Mr. Arden’s face. He said, after a slight hesitation: "I studied 1 started to practice, but , I did not keep on with It" I For the first time since she had ' met him. Diane felt a little curi“rity about him She knew from Bill that be had an Income, inherited from bis father, which. I carefully watched, had supported them and given Bill his education. i That he had an office downtc n. . where he transacted some son at a real estate business. But mostly his garden and h|s books occupied ' him. Ebe thought, looking at him:, ’•lmagine Bill being satisfied with I that!" And wondered at this older i man’s contentment. Bill came, just then, and Mra. came in from the kitchen. • Bill’s father shook Bill's hand warmly, as be had shaken Diane's. "We are very happy about it. son! And thankful that Diane suffered ■ no serious consequences from her i accident." 1 “In fact, she looks very well." 1 added Mrs. Arden, smiling at Diane. “The enforced rest doubtless did her good!" pui was looking at Diane’s hair,
