■ Planning Diet Low in Salt

By Herman N. Bundesen, M. D. A SALT-RESTRICTED diet does not mean ju*t going easy with the Holt shaker. Many of our ordinary foods In their natural Mate contain liberal amounts of salt. One of theae ia milk. Other* are barley, lima le-ans, and onion*. Naturally this pone* a real problem for people who have bwen directed to hold down their consumption of *alt to a minimum, a* often happen* in canes of high blood pressure. Some do<;U»rs believe that for patients of this type a well balanced diet without any particular restrictions other than avoidance of overeating ia |x-nt. Salt Intake Restricted On the other hand. Dr. Arthur (•tollman, of the Southwestern Medical College, thinks that If the blood pressure is to he hrwered and the symptoms relieved, the amount of salt In the diet must be restricted to a great degree so that the daily amount does not exrwed fivetenth or one-half of a gram. One level standard teaspoon nontains approximately I grains, s«> this amount of salt would be about one eighth of a teaspoonful. The difficulty which arises in planning such a diet is to furnish enough protein without using foods which are high In salt content. Dr Grollman suggests subatitiyting powdered milk which has uaw*b Ksalt for ths ordinary kind milk is dried to make pewSilk, some of the salt is ilpst

[excellent community service, aid Ing where ever it can and as often as called upon. ). 0 O— — The teacher shortage still exists and school boards and township ’* trustees arc faced with the probt lent of employing sufficient instructors for the coming scholastic * term. The employment situation In Indiana should be better than in most other states, in view of the i pay Increases granted to teachers. Vacancies still exist in several of the townships and the opening of school is only alxmt six weeks away. i —o—o Decatur will be more or less . quiet during the two week period beginning July 2S. when the local plant of Ihe General Electric Com--1 pany will be closed to give till the 1 employes n vacation. Only plant guards will remain on duty. The employes, with their families and friends will seek pleasure and relaxation at the lakes, motor to other parts of the country, or relax at home. In keeping with their idea of taking a vacation. Good | luck aud a lot of happiness to all. o o— Trustee Calland: It is a high honor to be named a trustee of Purdue University, one of the nation's leading educational institutions. Friends of J. Ward Calland of this city, who has been appointed to the University's board by Governor Ralph F. Gates, appreciate the recognition that has come to the Decatur man. Mr. Calland Is admirably fitted to serve as a trustee of Purdue, noted for its engineering and agri- < ultural background. In the latter field. Mr. Calland Is one of the foremost authorities in the middle west. A graduate of the Agricultural college of (thio State University, he has been actively identified with farm management projects, agricultural research and agronomy developments for a quarter century. As director of agronomic research for the ('Mitral Soya Company, Mr. Calland is the author of several agricultural texts. In cooperation with the extension departments of Purdue and several other leading universities, he recently compiled a valuable pamphlet on soybean production. Mr. Calland's educational qualifications and years of experience in the field of agriculture will be valuable to our state university and his gentlemanly presence on the board of trustees will be a contribution to Its further leadership in the educational and cultural I world. i We say congratulations, both to Purdue and to Mr. Calland.

from it. There aea number of other foode which ho says should he avoided. These Include all salted foods, such as smoked meats, bacon, ham, pretzels, salted butter, •dives, pickles, beets, celery, onions, all kinds of seafoods, and relishes. On the other hand, when a diet which is greatly limited in salt Is employed, care must he taken that symptom* of salt lack do not octur. eH>ecially in hot weather. I .ack ot salt may cause such symptoms as nervousness, kfitability, and often, complete collapse. If there is an abnormal kidney condition present, such as kidney inflammation, restriction of salt to too great a degree may cause an increase of certain substance* in the blood, such as urea. Person* who *rp using a salt-re-stricted diet often complain ot the insipid taste of food. Thbi can l>e overcome hy using a mixture of substances such as potassium chioride, potassium citrate, and ammonium chloride, which are substitutes for salt. These preparations can be bought at the drug store. In the salt-restricted diet, breakfast, for example, could consist of orange juice, grapefruit Juice, one egg plus one additional egg yolk, oatmeal, powdered milk, and rotfee Peaches may also be used Meat patties, macaroni, tomatoes, unsalted butter and margarine, and such veg*tables as lettuce, string beans, cabbage, squash, and eggplant may also ho included.

They believed their crops still might stage a comeback. lowa traditionally Is the nation's No. 1 producer of corn—the basic crop But the U. 8. Department of Agriculture last week estimated that Illinois would produce a 406,-hSO.OOO-bushel crop I hie year, compared with a forecast of 396,960,000 bushels for iowa. The last time Illinois raised more corn than lowa was in 1936. ''lllinois might surpass us this year, but they'll never do it on an average over the yearn," said Harry Linn, lowa's secretary of agriculture.

"And we’re still hopin; to produce more com than the July estimate.’’ tjlen Babbitt, Avoca, la., farmer, wasn’t too optimistic, however, Babbitt produced 183.3 bushels per acre in a 10-acre yield contest last year. But this year, he said bis crop "doesn't look so good." “Illinois might take over the corn title this year, but they won’t keep it long," he said. Don Radda, Washington, la., believes that even If lowa’s crop is cut 50 percent, the state still will out-produce Illinois. Radda produced a stalk of corn 31 feet high last year to win the state**; "tall corn" title. t , •*•«< ‘ My corn now is 9 or 10 feet high,’ he said, “but this tim<- last year it was 16 feet tall.” Illinois farmers were surprised io learn that their state would produce more corn than lowa. Their own crops had been damaged by floods in many sections and retarded by bad weather. John Htout, Chatham, 111,, has l«0 acres of corn in good condition, although he didn’t finish planting until June 12. ’Were getting up on our hind legs to show h>wa what we can do.’’ he said. A. J. Surratt, agricultural statistician for the state-federal crop reporting service in Illinois, said be would not be sure Illinois will surpass lowa until another survey is made July 15. Ray Dillinger, assistant director of the Illinois agriculture department, echoed Surratt's opinion. But we always hope to outdo lowa," he said. Meanwhile, Lieutenant Governor Richard T. James, said that Indiana may not produce as much corn *s the other two states, but he said Indiana ear* was better. He said that Hoosier farmers have been international corn kings In 19 out of the 29 contests, and that an Indiana farmer holds the current title.

CHAPTER THIRTY-FIVE MRS. ARDEN had brought the o!d cradle down from the attic for her to see. And Diane, watching her hands moving over the fine wood, knew what she was thinking, conceded her right to it. She opened a box of Bill’s baby c'othes which she had saved. Among' the garments was a christening robe. "We think it would be nice if THIS baby wore it!” And Diane added for her, “William Beresford Arden, the fifteenth or something.” Yielding, she was aware; sharing, over her instinctive unwillingness, what she had wanted to keep hers and Bill's. But her reward was Bill's approval, unspoken, but no less apparent, and the truce tn her own heart with its warring. Until one evening in January, when Bill came home and opened a newspaper and pointed to a column in it. He was greatly excited. "Read this, Di! Or have you read ft? About Stephen Fearon. He’s the big cotton goods manufacturer. And he’s dead. It gives his heirs, nephews and nieces, and look here”—his finger touched a hne. "Rufus Kent, columnist on a Grandharbor newspaper. What do you make out of that? What's Rufus’ idea of passing off those people in Massachusetts as his relatives? He’s crazy!" "He didn’t like his uncle. He despised him. He ran away when he was a boy. He didn’t want to take anything from him." "Well, he’s got it now," Bill said with a laugh. "And now Page's father and mother will look on ,him differently—" "Because he has money?" Dtane’s tone was dangerously low. "Well, that'll help; but more that he has good connections—" "But if he won’t own them—or take the , money—he won't, I know!" “Say, Di, you sound as crazy as he is! Why on earth wouldn’t he?" "He’d be giving up something in himself—something worth much more." Bhe saw Bill stiffen. He said with a steely quiet: "You seem to wre a great deal about what Rufus dues’ Are you sure you wouldn’t be pleased if Page threw Mm over? He'd be entirely at your command then. Perhaps there was some truth in what Mrs. Winston was trying to tell me!" ,_ Dtane drew her guaras to her. Her face gave no sigh that her heart was shaking with anger and a sense of Injustice. Bill was not asking her If there was truth in it; ] he was jumping to that conclusion. "Dinner's ready," she said evenly* and tumec. toward the kitchen. • • • During the next few days Huftu l 2?P v b ? Dun *’ mind than what Bill had said.

Sullivan' appeared unperturbed as he came to court and greeted news | photographers waiting outaide with i a broad grin. "I'm not trying to duck anything, boys,” he said. "What do you want me to do?" The photographers said they wanted a few pictures and Sullivan willingly posed and chatted with them. At the start of today s session , before district Judge Stephen J. Casey, Police Chief Walter L. McNulty aeked for a new complaint on the basis that Sullivan when ar- - rested had not been advised of his rights under Rhode Island law to a sobriety test by a physician of hie own choosing. Th<* assistant jtostmaster-general, he explained, had been examined by a police doctor and the drunken driving charge was based on this physician's report. The mistake was committed, McNulty said, by Patrolman Wayne Whittier who had been on the force two weeks. o

Fearon’s death. It lauded him as a philanthropist as well as a great industrialist Page's father and mother would like that she thought They’d like the sound of Contessa Di Cacchioni's name. Stephen Fearon had reared these nephews and nieces, who were ills heirs, the article said. It carried a picture of him. Studying It Diane had to admit that it was a strong face. Perhaps only Rufus was aware of where his uncle’s weakness lay. Os course everyone would say, as Bill had, that Rufus was crazy to disown such connections on account of something which had happened when he was fourteen years old. A man now, with a man’s experience, he must see that he’d let his imagination distort that particular situation, overdramatize it. Maybe he had, Diane conceded, but even so, something fine had sprung to growth in him then, that made him what he was now and with her whole heart she wanted him to stand true to it But she was anxious. It was maddening not to know what was happening. Rufus might be in need of the encouragement she could give him—perhaps, only she! More than once she went to the telephone to call him, then hesitated, held by a conviction that no one, no one should intrude in thia. It was Rufus’ decision to make. Bill had not referred to it again. Through dinner that evening there had been some restraint in his manner toward Diane, but before the evening was over he had recovered his usual equanimity. They had played bridge with a young couple who lived in the apartment across the hall. Diane had suggested inviting them in and Bill had agreed to it with an alacrity that might have betrayed he was as eager as she to avoid an evening alone except that Diane was not letting henelf remember the earlier unpleasantness. He liked to play bridge; he had made a grand Siam, doubled and redoubled, and he had talked of that after their guests had gone. She could not call Page. She could not approach Page with any claim to her confidence, as once she had; the few times she had seen Page in these last months, once at a tea which AUithea Matthewson had given in the Christmas holidays, again tn Beider’s, and In Guiseppi's one day, where she was with,Lois and Wilma, and Page with Übby Marston, Page had given her the briefest of greetings. It was Monday evening when Bill brought home the newspaper which carried the notice of Rufus’ uncle’s death. On Thursday Diane answered a ring of her telephone, thinking it was Lois or Wilma, and heard Rufus’ votes on the wire. "Rufus! Tm glad you palled!”
