■*'“‘l- Mil A Serious Childhood Diseas©

By Herman N. Bunesen, M. D. When death arms his scytne with rheumatic fever, it cuts a wide swath, for this dfease leads all others as a killer of children and young people. Alone, it causes five times as many deaths in this age group yearly as scarlet fever, diphtheria, measles, •whooping and infantile paralysis do together. Nortioes it stop with children. It may occur at arty age and veritable epidemics have been reported among young adults. During the war, for instance, mor tehan 40,000 service men contracted the disease. The aftermath of rheumatic fever is rheumatic heart disease and its importance here is shown by the fact that it is the leading cause of heart disease in persons between five and forty years of age. As a general rule, rheumatic fever starts suddenly with fever, pain in the joints and swelling of the joints. Usually, it starts(?from two to four weeks after a respiratory infection, such as a cold or sore throat. In some instances, the disorder comes on more gradually, and the symptoms may be quite mild with pains in the joints which are often called, though mistakenly, “growing pains." for there are no such things as “growing pains.” Studies have been carried out which seem to show that the heart is affected to some degree in almost every case, and even after the infection clears up. permanent damage to the heart may be present. The exact cause of rheumatic fever is not known. However, it would appear that before tha condition develops, there is a® infection •with hemolytic streptococci germ* Epidemics of streptococci infec-

In the United States, members of Congress would l be more likely to have the urge tct, t walk into the White House anl* take over, providing the army 1 would back the insurrection. They t better n€? try it. o—- . the assertion is made that there isn’t any thingUi'feW’’ fit poli-1 tics and it's possible that all tricks . in the game have been played. N«]k the Democratic National' Committee will present a new idea to the country on September 2. It will jip a radio rally broadcast over Abc and other stations from 9 to 9:30 p.m., and will be the • first time that a major political party ever Ujed the radio for a round-up of ns followers. The program will emanate from Washington and among the will be Marshall Hanley of IndianacrlUc Clubs of Indiana. Y©u invited to tune-In and in many counties meetings are being ptan ned to coincide with the radio tirilfe. followed by discussions of local issue!. —io O— Marshall And S. A.: From* the inter-American defense] conference in Brazil ctihies the heartening word that relations between the Argentine and the United States, after years of divergence, are proceeding toward mutual understanding. Substantial agreement has been reached Ur j,ween Secretary of State Marshall and the Argentine Foreign minister, Juan Bramtwlia, regarding points in the inter-American defense treaty and a united rffcovery plan for the .entire western' hemisphere. Suspicion of the ultimate objectives of FWon is unavoidable. Nevertheless men, Bramuglia and Marshall, have bsen successful in their face to face talks, and apparently are developing warm respect for each other. With Argentina and the United able to work in agreement, it will tfe easier t© enlist the other South American countries in harmonious union with the Unite# States for the good of all and as insurance against aggression from the other side of the Wrld. When leaders of two nations can achieve personal good will and confidence, their national affairs can Whally be arranged to the advantage of both. Frank talk betw*Sm individual nations is the basis of international peace. The United States can be grateful that it has as the head ofjtts foreign department a man as strong, intelli- : gent and forthright as General ; Marshall.

tions in the army wq» followed by epidemics of rhuemaffc fever, It w& also found that rheumatic fever occurred in some areas from ten to one hundreds Jlmes more often than in othvjf' areas. The regions of the country affected cularly are the Rocky area, the Mid-West, the territory around the Great Lakes, and New England The disorder apparently occurs less frequently in warm climates. Poor housing, crowding, lack of warmth and ventilation are evidently contributory factors. Unfortunately, no single cure fofJ rheumatic fever has been discovered. Apparently after an attack develops, the sulfonamide drugs and penicillin are of little, n any, value. The best treatment during an attack is complete rest, the use of the preparations known as salicylates, and the giving of a wellbalanced diet. Remoyal of the tonsils evidently is of no particularvalue in preventing recurrence of the condition. 'T The giving of sulfonamide drugs in the proper dosee, which aid by staving off sore throat due to the hemolytic streptococci germ, may be of value in many instances. However, such treatment must always be carried out under the direction of a physician. Little by little, medical science is piecing together the harts of the complex puzzle presented by rheumatic fever, but the basic clue to the behavior and treatment of this killer of youth still remains to be found More study, more money, mor* research are needed to give us th* means to conquer this No. 1 eaemv of the nation s children.

" .i. .1CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX s HERCULE POIROT, enjoying a I mid-mornirig cup if chocolate, was r interrupted by the ringing of the t telephone. He got up and lifted 1 the receiver. -’Allo?" * ’ “M. Poirot?" “L&sty Angkatell?” “Hew nice of you to know my « voice. 4m I disturbing you?” > “But not at alt You are, I hope, none the worse for (the distressing events of yesterday?” £ “No, Indeed. Distressing, as you i say, but one feels, I find, quite detached. I rang you up to know if 1 you ottjid possibly come over—an 1 imposition, I know, but I am really < in great distress . . .” “But certainly, Lady Angkatell. I Did you mean now?” “Well, yes, I did mean now. As I quickly as you can. That’s very 1 sweet of you." “Not at all. I will come by the < woods, then?” > “Oh, otcourse —tin? shortest way. < Thank you 50 much, dear Poi- ! rot” - ’ Pacing only to brush a few 1 speck* of dust off the lapelapf his 1 coat and to slip on a thin over- : coat, Poirot crossed the kjjie and hurried along the path through the chestnuts. The swimming pool was deserted —the police had finished their work and gone. It looked innocent and peaceful in the soft, misty autumnal light Poirot took a quick look into the pavilion. The platinum fox cape, . he noted, had been removed, the gjx boxes of matches still stota uponfthe table by the settee. He wondered more thfsl ever about those matches. ‘ “It is not a place to keep • matches—here in the damp. One | box, for convenience, perhaps —but 1 ( not six.” He frowned down on the painted . iron table. The tray of glasses had been removed. Someone had scrawled with a pencil on the table 1 —a rough design of a nightmarish ■ tree. It pained Hercule Poirot It s offended his tidy mind. He clicked his tongue, shook his £ head, and hurried on toward the - house, wondering at the reason ■ /or this urgent summons . Lady Angkatell was waiting for him at the French windows and ’ swept him into the empty drawing room. « “It was nice of you to come, M. ’ Poirot” She clasped his hand warmly. “Madame, I am at your service.” Lady Angkatell’s hands floated , out expressively. beautiful eyes opened. “You see, it’s al> so difficult. The inspector person is interviewing,'"'no, questioning —taking a » statement—what is the term they ' use? —Gudgeon. And really, dur i whole life here depends cm Gudr geon, and one does so sympathize . with him. Because, naturally, it is terrible for him to be questioned by the police—even Inspector Grange, who I do feel is really nice and probably a family man ; boys, I think, and:-.he,helps them ! with Meccano in the evenings—- - and a wife who has everything , spotless but a little over-crowded.” Hercule Poirot blinked as Lady Angkatell developed her imaginary sketch of Inspector Grange’s home ’ life. » -By th* way his mustache 1 droops,” went on Lady Angkatell “rethink that, a heme that is too

spotless might be sometimes depressing—like soap on hospital nurses' faces. Quite a shine! But that is more abroad where things lag behind —in London nursing homes they have lots of powder and really vivid lipstick. But I was saying, M. Poirot, that you really must come to lunch properly when all this ridiculous business is over.” \ “You are very kind.” “I do not mind the police myself,” said La»!y Angkatell. “I really find it all quite interesting. ■Do let me help you in any way I can,’ l«aid to Inspector Gauge. He seems rather a bewildered sort of person, but methodical. “J4oti ve seems so important to pc®cemen,” she went on. “Talking of hospital nurses just now, I believe that John Chrlstow —a nurse with red hair and an upturned nose—quite attractive. But, of course, it was a long time ago and the police might not be interested. One doesn’t really know how much poor Gerda had to put up With. She is type, don’t you think? Or possibly she believes what is told her. I think if one has not a great deal o£ intelligence, it is wise to do that.” Quite suddenly, Lady Angkatell flung open the study door and ushered Poirot in, crying brightly, “Here jp M. JiolroL” She swept around film and out, shutting the door. Inspector Grange and Gudgeon were sitting by the desk. A young man with a note-book was in a corner. Gudgeon roee respectfully to his feet. Poirot hastened into “I retire immediately. I assure yoqj< had no idea that Lady AngkatSU-" < “N(g no, you wouldn’t have.” Grange’s mustache looked more pessimistic than ever this morning. Perhaps, thought Poirot, fascinated by Lady Angkatell’s recent sketch of Grange, there has been too much cleaning or perhaps a Benares table has been purchased so that the good inspector he really cannothave space to move. Angrily h’e dismissed these thoughts. Inspector Grange’s clean but overcrowded home, his wife, hist bovs and their addiction to Meccano were all figments of Lady Angkatell’s bitty brain. But the vi' idness with which concrete reality interested him. It was quite an accomplishment. “Sit down, M. Poirot," said Grange. “There’s something I want to ask you about, and I’ve nearly finished here.” He-'tumed his attention back to Gudgeon, who deferentially and almost under protest resumed his seat and turned an expressionless face tow’ard his interlocutor. “And that’s ail you can remember?” “ » “Yes, sir. Everything, sir, was very much as usual. There was no unpleasantness of any kind." “There’s a fur cape thing—out in that summer house by the pool. Which of the ladies did it belong to?” 1 f ', x “Are you referring, sir, to a cape of platinum, fox ? I noticed it yesterday when 4 1 took out the glasses to the pavilion. But it is not the property of anyone in this house, sir.” “Whose is it. then?” “It might possibly belong to Miss Cray, sir. Miss Veronica , Cray, the motion picture actress.
