These interesting arrays of craftsmanship. home-making and economics are the work of the youthful members and one is greatly impressed with the fine articles in the show. Q Q. The youthful club members took more than the usual interest in lhe 4-H festival this year. Owners of the animals in thq ,< livestock show were on the job early and late, caring for their entries and showing that pride which comes with possession They are a fine group of young stock raisers and lhe judges admit that the entries are above the average. 0 0 Although the Dutch and Indo nesians agreed to take the advice of the United Nations Security Council and call off their undeclared war. fighting seems to continue. The Netherlands army should withdraw from the area, for at present and probably not for many years to come, there is no danger of the Jaitanese taking over Java or other Dutch East Indies countries. —O—O-— While Elliott Roosevelt admits that it might have been indiscreet for him to accept dinner entertainments from the official entertainer for Planebuilder Hughes, he at least told the truth on the senate witness stand. Now, if the senators are as honest as young Rooaevein they will admit that most of their investigation deals with the “smear Roosevelt” Idea Pew big business concerns in the country, ever overlook the opportunity to entertain famous people

Different Cycles Affect Disease

By Herman N. Bundsaen, M. D. DISEASE often has an economic background and alternating eyelet? of prosperity and depcesaioa are ax clearly reflected in a doctor's office as In business charts. That is. the type* of ailment* a doctor is called on to treat vary greatly with the economic health of the nation This la illustrated vividly hy the experience of Dr. Leonidas H. Berry of Chicago * ho **amin ed 1.400 patient* with tho (astroscope. The gaatroeoope is an instrument made up pt h tube with a light which permit* Um physician to look directly W" <*e stomach and Inspect the ermdition of its lining membrane. Doctor’s Finding* In the courpe of these many examinations. Dr. Berry found that a condition known as chronic atrophic gastritis occurred three times more often in the four years pre ceding World War II than in the more prosperous period of IM2 to 1940. More than half the patient* examined byihtm in the pre-war years had this disorder, whereas If was present in only about one out of ala of the war time group. Atrophic gastrittai Is a condition in which there is wasting of Ute tissue* in the unrag meaUraue of the stomach ft is accoapsniod by such symptom M ihdiiwttoh; M»»

The 4-H club festival should be expanded, for it is worthy of real community support. What we lack, is adequate grounds for staging the show. A survey should be made by adult leaders, the Chamber of Commerce and other interested • persons, as to possible locations. We believe that private and public funds could be raised to build a permanent home for 4-H aud youth activities and that such a place would greatly increase interTst aud effectiveness of the club ideal o_ —o— The Indiana State government is collecting about 92U0.000.000 an nually from the taxpayers. Less than half of the amount is returned to local taxing units and a big surplus is piling up in the state house. Cities and towns are finding it difficult to carry on their services and meet increased labor and material coats, without increas ing property tax levies. Why not return more of the /Hate collections to counties, cities and townships for needed expenses in operation of schools and repair of streets and roads? O Q There seems to be romance, most everywhere, although there is sometimes difficulty in locating it. The story of the housemaid in Beverley Hills, Cal, is one example. She who had scrubbed and l>oliish«Ml in other people's houses up to her fifty-second year was found after a long search. She discovered she was an heiress awaiting a fortune of $290,000, left for her by a nice gentleman she had just met casually in a movie theater. Their friendship was "quite proper.” she said, but It was certalhiy'unusual.; There' are doubtless as many romances floating around nowadays as there ever ! were in the days of the prolific O. Henry. , | * O 0 Good Government: While expanding its services and maintaining those already enjoyed. by citizens. Mayor Stolts and the City Council have decided that the civil city's tax rate will not be boosted. The rate In 1948 will remain at 78 cents on the 9100 of taxables. The Decatur School board, while carrying on one of the best school systems In the state, will do a little better and reduce its 1948 tax rate from 91.36 to 91-39 on local property. The city government has provided for the establish nw-nt of a City Planning Commission and installation of a two-way police radio system in Its 194 b budget. The improved garbage hauling system will be maintained and services nt lhe street department extended to al-ley-clean up. It appears that we are getting our money's worth from the civil city and school board governments Most citizens will agree that we i are progressing with the city's growth and doing It economically.

of appetite, bowel disturbance, loss of weight, and fatigue Pre-War Group Careful study, of ths patients in i the pre-war group, showed that moat of them had been receiving insufficient food over a long period of time. It was discovered that the amount of vitamin C in the food was below normal. The patients wore suffering from anemia with a lessening of the amount of coloring matter and of the number of red cells in the blood. Their weight i was below normal, and there wore i other evidences of lack of vitai mins such as spongy gums, and i general poor nutrition. Fatigtae and weakness were edmmon symptoms. When these patient* began tak- - lag more food, including all of the i necessary vitamins and minerals, many of the cases of atrophic gas i tritis cleared up Thus It wpald . seem that there Is a definite relai tionabip between the recurrence > of atrophic gastritis and the geni oral nutrition of the patient More* over, as prqspefty Increased the i number of new cases was lessened.
