Tabby was saved from electrocution by linemeh of the electric plant, who climbed the 45 foot high pole and thus gave her a chance to live nine lives. A medical journal has bad news for hunters, by advocating that a law be passed prohibiting both the sale of wild rabbits and their use as food. The medical profession says that rabbits cause 90 per cent of the cases of rabbit fever and advises, “if a person must go rabbit hunting, he should suspect that a rabbit is fatally ill with tularemia it it appears tame or runs sluggishly when flushed.” Killing of rabbits by automobiles on the highways has reduced the supply to such an extent that hunters may not have to worry about the cottontails.

New Treatment for the "DTs"

By Herman N. Bundesen, M. D. PEOPLE often speak jokingly of delirium tremens because not one in a thousand has ever seen a case of this disorder. The reality, which constitutes one of the greatest penalties of tooheavy drinking, is far from a joke. Delirium tremens is a serious condition and one which may end fatally, especially where it is not propmtly and properly treated. After many years of study, it now seems definitely established that "DTs” is not due to some damaging effect of alcohol, as is popularly supposed, but rather to a lack of necessary food elements, particularly a deficiency of vitamin B-l. The symptoms of delirium tremens vary to a great extent. Howevet-, patients with this condition are highly excited and confused and suffer from hallucinations. They may often jump or cower With terror because they hear of the horror's they imagine they see or think. Attacks usually last from three to six days. A recent treatment for delirium tremens seems to have proved quite effective in quickly quieting the patient and overcoming the attack. This treatment consisted first of the giving of sedatives or quieting drugs. Then the patient was given two quarts of a solution of sugar, ?<!t, '’Vitajn— B-l And sulit. Insulin is the secretion from tie fsaadreae afti 16 tbt tie

The stop-gap aid needs ther word—except the Ayes of a Confess determined tb do its part toward peace and tfecdnstruction. The controls can be discussed and fought over afterwards. Some compromise between the Taft and Truman stands can doubtless be arrived at which will see this country go forward! and not back. But the food for Europe needs forwarding at once. • o o Great Britain was all agog today for it was the wedding day of beautiful Princess Elizabeth to the handsome Lt. Mountbatten. King George VI gave his daughter in; marriage and in England's long history, it was the first time in 131 years that the heir presumtive to | the British throne walked to the altar to claim a consort husband. The charming Princess seems Well trained for h?r regal role and apparently is well liked by her people. The world wishes the young couple happiness and health. Cities are not the only offenders in emptying raw sewage into the rivers. A survey shows, that Purdue university, with its greatly increased body uses the West Lafayette sewers which empty into the Wabash without treatment. The same is true at the Madison State Hospital and the Logansport Soldiers’ Home. Forty-two cities, including Decatur have been ordered to build sewage treatment plants, but action has been deferred because of the heavy construction costs. If costs remain at the current level, it is expected that the state health board will begin to enforce its orders against river pollution. o o It's Over: While all the workers have not yet completed their convassing, donations and pledges so far obtained have sent the Decatur Community Fund over the top. Thus, another civic undertaking has been successfuly concluded. It is in keeping with the Decatur spirit to do the job. Contributions to-date total $12,262.50, an excess of $902.50 over the $11,360' goal. Participating agencies, including the Boy and Girl Scouts, other youth and recreational activities and full quotas for the Salvation Army and County Cancer Fund, will receive their share of funds so they can carry out their year’s work. Congratulations are extended to Chairman Harold Grant and his aoie co-workers for their services in the successful conduct of the drive. And last, but not least, a big J hand is given so the donors, individuals, firms and employe groups who put it on the line. Thanks to all.

use of sugars by the body. The two quarts of this solution are given slowly by injection into a vein. It was found that with this treatment Jhe patient’s hallucinations rapidly became milder. When a second injection of the solution was employed, the symptoms were completely overcome. Thus, in less than ten hours after the treatment Was started, the patient was calm and clear of mind After a week of treatment, complete recovery took place. Apparently this form of treatment may be employed with entire safety and success, so long as there are no complications present. It is to be hoped, of course, that people will not use alcoholic beverages to such excess that delirium tremens will develop. Those who use alcoholic beverages in moderation should make sure that they are not allowing the habit to interfere with the eating of alt the necessary foods. In this way, the harmful effects from the use of alcoholic beverages may be warded off. Os course, there are some persons who have formed the alcohol habit, and they present a difficult problem in treatment. Alcoholism is being carefully studied and treated in a number of institutions and it is to be hoped that some methods will be found of overcoming the habit before it brings its victims to the stage of delirium ' treaaeae.

SYNOPSIS Worlds separate young Alison Van Dyke and Teresa, her glamorous hair sister. The latter, ambitious and domineering, was one of Washington's most successful Interior decorators, while Alison and Kitty, their mother, lived quietly in Vermont. Alison was 16 at the time she came to Washington for Teresa’s wedding and something happened to her heart when she met her sister’s fiance, attractive Sam Tarrant, quiet, idealistic newspaperman. The wedding reception was held at the home of Teresa’s wealthy friend, kindly Edna Castine. It was a gala affair, and if Edna was disappointed because Teresa bad chosen Sam in | preference to her beloved brother Philip; she managed to conceal it. CHAPTER FIVE AGAIN IN October four years later a taxi stopped before Teresa’s house in Georgetown and Alison stepped out Despite the heavy bag she lingered on the sidewalk a few minutes and glanced about her. The rather small but highly desirable and sought-after houses in I this old section of Washington, with their correctly kept lawns still green, were so strange to her she was filled with nostalgia for the big old house in Vermont. But because that house had been said three weeks ago and strangers had occupied it since yesterday, she tried to tell herself it was absurd to think of it any longer as her home. The only home she had was the one before which she was standing, one she had never seen before, the house where Teresa | lived with Suzy, her three-year-old daughtei, and a maid and Suzy’s nurse. There was nothing else to do now except go in and make herself a member of that household. Under the burden of the heavy bag that contained all het- earthly possessions she walked up the steps, her free hand grasping the 1 iron railing. But she did not go in at once. It was as though she had to cling to this last moment before going into Teresa’s house, cling to it so that she would remember how she felt and even how she looked in an uncertain time to 1 come. How did she feel ? A little frightened at the newness of it all, but flattered that Teresa wanted her to come and live with her and ' share her enviable position in the capital; still sorrowing from her mother's death ten weeks ago, despite Kitty’s telling her she wanted her to feel relieved and not to wear black; still somewhat chagrined that Teresa had not come to the funeral (she had been away i on a decorating job in North Carolina); despite the kindness of Tere-

sa’s long letter that had included such a detailed explanation of what Alison should do that it was necessary only for Alison to' read the letter when she felt the need of advice; and immensely hopeful for the future that lay beyond this clean white door with the shiny brass knocker. She had become a young woman who could wear anything because people who were interested in her never remembered what she wore. Nor could they adequately describe her, for there was a quality in her face not easily defined. You might call it thoughtfulness or sensitivity or a quiet alertness Her hair was still ash-blond, soft and fine, her eyes smoky gray. She wore a vivid lipstick now. And while she looked no more than her 20 years there was something adult about her, a quiet poise and an early wisdom. Perhaps she would always remember that on this afternoon she was wearing a dark red tweed suit and a small brimmed hat made of the same material as the suit and low-heeled black suede sandals when she lifted her hand to the knocker of Teresa’s house. In no time at all a stout colored maid opened the door and took her bag almost before Alison succeeded in telling her who she was. She wondered why the maid whispered when she said, "Mr. Tarrant is in the living room.” Sam! Alison felt a galvanic shock. . . . Sam in the living room. Sam, whom Teresa had divorced when Suzy was a baby. The only explanation Alison and Kitty had had was that fragment Teresa had written, “Sam and I are completely incompatible and I am getting a divorce. Naturally Suzy stays with me. It is all so painful to me that I don’t ever wish to discuss it” Now Sam was in the living room. Though she had been anticipating the interior of Teresa’s house, the news of Sam’s being here so astonished her that she glanced about only superficially as she left the hall with the brightly colored wallpaper and entered the living room. It was beautiful, of course. New things blending with old things. The two pale green love seats faced one another before the fireplace and the gray rug was velvety under her feet. Heavy yellowsilk curtains closed out the harshness of the sun, but permitted enough sunlight so that the room had a warm golden glow. As the little French clock softly chimed the hour of four, Saifi arose to meet her. “Why, Alison, you’re all grown

heard by other people. Q. Is it necessary that invitations to formal functions be engraved? A. Yes, always. 0 1 Ten of the 33 presidents of the • United States did not graduate ■ from any college or university.

“Hello, Sam.” He took her hand and held it and looked into her face. “How long has it been? But hold it. Don’t tell me. There was a war between. But it has been a long time.” I have not seen you, she thought, since the night you and Teresa were married. But in the years between, the war years, you left something with me that remained alive, Sam . . . that confused enchantment whenever I thought of you and wondered where you were and what had happened to you. “Won’t you sit down?” he asked. "Because until you do, I can’t” They laughed together and when they were facing one another across the low table between the love seats, he asked, "How is your mother?” “She died ten weeks ago.” His chin came up quickly. “I’m sorry. I liked her very much. I always wanted to know her better.” When he gave her a long, penetrating, thoughtful glance she had the opportunity to see him quite clearly. He was still tall and broadshouldered, with a reserved, ascetic face. His black hair still grew from a peak in the middle of his forehead and his eyes were still dark and warm and bright. She had not known before that he had a fine humorous mouth. Yet like all of the young men of his time he looked older when you looked directly into his eyes and there was greater tautness in the muscles of his face. Four years ago she had thought him the handsomest, most masculine person she had ever known. That impression, she thought now, still remained. Were he and Teresa in loVe again? It would be wonderful, she supposed, if they would remarry. Four years ago she had thought that the color of Teresa Vtould dye all of a man’s days and all of his nights. “So you’ve come to visit Teresa,” he said. Alison shook her head. “No, I’ve come to stay. I'm going to live with Teresa. I’m going to work.” “With Teresa?” “Oh, I couldn’t I don’t know anything about her work. I’ve had two years of college.” Accomplished by Kitty’s selling the silver and the few good pieces of antique furniture and by convincing the local jeweler that her odd pieces of jewelry were worth more than they actually were. “I’ll probably take a business course first” “I wish you luck.” Their eye# met almost intimately. "Thanks.” _ do Be Continual}
