Indiana isn't the largest industrial state in the union, but during September, 580,255 persons were employed in the state's major industries. The month saw an increase of 28,0(10 workers, due to seasonal operations of canning plants. There are few idle people in the state, labor statistics reveal. 0 o Milk business in Indiana is big business, the Milk Industry Foundation reveals. Dairy farmers own nearly 800,000 milk cows, which produce nearly 130 million 'dollars’ worth of milk annually. Milk is one of the essential farm incomes and through this section of the state, the dairy farms are among the best. Another advantage is the ready market offered milk producers. o o Mayor-elect Doan is completing * his appointments and has named Robert S.

Methods of Relieving Hi ves

By Herman N. Bundesen, M. D. WHILE hives, or as the doctors call it, urticaria, is not dangerous, it can drive a patient almost to the point of distraction by the intense itching it causes. The cause of this condition, in ■which the skin breaks out in large, red welts, is not known ,but there is much evidence that it may be due to an allergy or oversensitivity to certain foods, drugs, or even to chemicals which merely come in contact with the skin. Since the allergic person is a law unto himself and may be adversely affected by things which are perfectly harmless to others, the substances which cause hives are innumerable. If such substances can be discovered, either through experience or skin testing, the individual can, of course, escape hives by avoiding contact with the offending items. In many cases, however, it Is often impossible to track down thie trouble-maker. In addition, some individuals are sensitive to so many different things that it would be impossible to avoid them all. even if they could be identified. For these reasons,', methods of relieving the swelling and itching of hives are important and. from time to time, many have been suggested. One which has been found helpful is the taking of A preparation of vitamin K. or nicotinic acid. wjjich is a part of the vitamin B-complcx. calcium or lifte preparations-.

bany. Both are World War II veterans and men of fine reputation. Mr. Krick will succeed Joe Brennen on the board, who also was reelected to the council and served with great credit under the present administration. O o The Farmers Almanac, which has been published every year since 1849 in Dublin, N. H„ predicts that we are going to have a tough winter, that summer will come late and that there will not be many warm days next year. This particular Almanac has a wide reputation and farmers have followed it in planting of crops. It has been surprisingly accurate in the past few years, but we hope it's wrong when it comes the 1948 winter predictions. o—o Italy is one European nation which wants American aid in the shape of the Marshall plan. The Prime Minister in the face of alleged Communist-backed strikes and outbreaks in many parts of his country, announces that Italy’s house Will be put in order. If necessary, the premier says, he will call on regular army troops to assist civilian police in keeping the peace. The premier seems determined to control the Communist elements. With an eye to attracting favorable support from the United States, be outlined a program of economic measures that would establish austere living in food consumption, use of gasoline, home construction and automobile manufacturing. o o The Ukraine: There may be resistance to the government in Russia. Reports from Munich speak of a Ukrainian Insurgent Army, which has had clashes with Russiqfi troops and now has ceased fighting because the people hope for war between Russia and the United States. This may be all dream stuff. What is certain, however, is that there has long been a nationalistic movement in the Ukraine, dating back to the 17th century. The Ukrainian Cossacks then revolted from Polish rule, and respairing of victory turned their allegiance to i Russia. They have regretted it ever since. Ukrainian patriots have fostered the local culture, and emphasized the differences, not very great but existing, between the Ukrainian language and the Russian. As the most fertile region in Russia, the Ukraine is indispensable to the Russians, but the government might possibly be induced to concede some measure of local home rule. This would put an end to the riots, which are probably all that underlies this story of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army.

Recently two new drugs, which are helpful in the treatment of a number of disorders due to allergy have also been found most effective in relieving hives. These two substances are benadryl and pyribenzamine. The pyribenzamine, taken in capsule form, has been found almost 100 percent successful in relieving hives due to allergy. It has also been found that this substances in an ointment applied directly to the skin may bring relief in a number of cases of eczema and other itching skin diseases. This treatment, it must be remembered, is not a cure for hives or eczema, but it does bring relief from these skin disorders. Benadryl also is taken by mouth. Sometimes, in cases where hives become chronic or long-continued, benadryl is also effective, but it must be taken continually. When its use is stopped, the rash is likely to recur. Drs. Paul A. O’Leary and Eugene M. Farber of the Mayo Clinic, have found benadryl effective in both acute and chronic cases of hives. Os course, it should be employed only under the directions of a physician, in doses which he prescribes, since reactions to the drug may occur. However, in only a tew instances were these reactions severe enough to make it necessary to stop the use of the drug comp’tely. sc long as the patients remained under a doctor’s supervision. u

SYNOPSIS

Worlds separate young Alison Van Oyke and Teresa, her glamorous hallsister. The latter, ambitious and domineering, was one ol Washington's most successful interior decorators, while Alison and Kitty, their mother, lived quietly in Vermont. Alison was Ki at the time she came to Washington tor Teresa's wedding and something happened to her heart when she met her sister's dance, 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 it Edna was disappointed because Teresa bad chosen Sam in preference to her beloved brother Philip, she managed to conceal it. The marriage, however, was of short duration, for almost immediately after the birth of their daughter Susy, Sam and Teresa were divorced. Alison did not see Sam again until three years later when, following the death of her mother, she arrived in Washington to live with Teresa. Much to her surprise, he rose to greet her when Teresa's maid showed her into the living room. CHAPTER SIX •'YOU ARE probably wondering why I’m here.” And before Alison could speak Sam continued, “I drop in for a visit with Suzy whenever I’m in Washington. I’m permitted to see her once a week. I hadn’t seen her since she was a baby until recently," "You were overseas?” He nodded. “Army. Intelligence. I got back in June. I inherited a newspaper and a farm in Virginia.” He smiled. “I’m trying to make a go of both.” "Do you like both?” He nodded and smiled again. “I LOVE both. When I was dodging buzz bombs in Antwerp I decided it was no sense putting off thfe things I’d always wanted to do—having a farm and a newspaper of my own. When my father died and I came back, I took over." “I imagine one reaches a good many conclusions when the bombs are overhead.” "Not the least among them being the futility of postponement” “How far away do you live?” "About a hundred miles. It’s good country.” The men Teresa had married and divorced was poor and hardworking, Alison thought. His tweed suit, a Li-tie shabby, probably prewar, and his long, fine hands, the skin cracked open in places, attested to that. Yet despite these things about him he looked distinguished in Teresa’s lovely formal room- Sam would look distinguished anywhere. As he glanced up at the dock fae said, “Suzy will be getting up

irom ner nap any minute now and Miss Winstead, the nurse, will bring her down.’’ The maid had whispered because Suzy had been . .eep. "I’ve never s-en Suzy,” Alison said. When Teresa had come up to visit, she had never brought her. She had said Suzy was too young to travel and trams were unsanitary. Kitty had wanted terribly to see her only grandchild and had talked of her continuously a few weeks before he- death. The only thing Alison n. not been able to do for her was io provide Suzy in the flesh for her mother to see for the first and last time. But Teresa was so meticulous, so fearful of germs and train sickness and the disruption of Suzy’s routine. “You’ve never seen her?” Sam asked. “Why?” “Teresa was always afraid that travel would upset her." His lean face looked more taut than usual. “A little upsetting would be good for her. That’s what she needs. Maybe you can bring the miracle to happen.” “What miracle'”’ He took a deep breath, offered her a cigaret and stood over her briefly while he held a lighter to it. "You’Jl see. At least, I hope you will.” At the sound of footsteps descending the stairs they turned simultaneously to see Suzy and her nurse, the latter’s white uniform so stiff with starch that Alison felt the woman could not possibly bend. A tall woman with a prematurely wrinkled face and neat, thin, graying hair, she looked kind and weak and absent-minded. Suzy was a beauty. Fragile as delicate china, with wide clear blue eyes, dark hair falling softly to her shoulders and bangs across her forehead, she looked neither like Teresa nor Sam. Her little yellow frock was lovely, but it would have looked cuter, Alison thought, if there had been more flesh on her arms and legs. She was painfully thin. Sam said, "Hi, Suzy,” and held out his hand. "This is #rour Aunt Alison who’s come to live with you. You and she are going to have fun.” Obviously Suzy was very glad to see him, but when she saw Alison her eyes filled with tears and she turned and buried her face against the stiff dress of 'the nurse. •* “She’s very sfiy,” Miss Winstead said. “Speak to your Aunt Alisofi, dear.” But the child was weeping. "Take me away, Winnie. ... I want to go upstairs. . , . Please, ' please . t ,"

Picking her up Miss Winstead said in a thin, querulous voice, “I’m sorry she’s behaving so badly today, Mr. Tarrant. I’ll have to take her upstairs." "I’ll go,” Alison said. Sam shook his head. "No, don’t She doesn’t come out of these things quickly." He looked at Miss Winstead. "You won't punish her?” “Mrs. Tarrant and I have our own way of coping with her.” Sam’s dark, disturbed eyes followed them out of the room. After a while Alison said, “My being here spoiled your visit I’m sorry. I didn’t know she was like that” He arose and looked down at her. “I don’t pretend to know much about children, but I can see what’s the matter with her. Can’t you? She needs to get out with other kids and play and get her face dirty. She’s three years old and she’s never had a playmate. How can she be normal?” "But doesn’t Teresa ..." • "Why doesn’t Teresa put her in a nursery school where she’ll learn how to play and have other kids to play with? She wants to play, but she doesn’t know how ...” "She doesn’t look very strong.” “If you’d been raised in an incubator, you wouldn’t look strong either. She doesn’t eat I’ve seen what they give her to eat and 1 wouldn’t eat it either." “But Teresa’s so intelligent about everything." “Suzy wouldn’t have anything to do with me the first few times 1 came. One day I brought along a ball and tossed it to her. She began to warm up a little and talk and laugh. Well, I’ve got to be going.” Alison arose. If she were very close to him, she thought, the top of her head would reach his mouth. If she stood on tiptoe, her mouth would be level with his. How would it be to be kissed by Sam again? Rockets bursting in the air again? “I see what you mean about the miracle,” she said. He stood looking at her, at her hair, her mouth, but the thought of her did not absorb his whole mind, only a fragment of it. Who or what absorbed him most, she wondered. His work, his farm? Or was he pursuing the old, lost dream of Teresa again* Or was problem foremost in his troubled mind ? Yet to her,.' to Alison, he was Sam whose presence awakened her, stirred her,'thrilled her and sharpened all lovely realities. He laid his hand on her arm. "I’m glad you’re here,” he said.
