An "Anti-lynch law” is urged lor this country—the more shame to us if we need it. There are laws against murder now, if we would but enforce them. o o Newspaper readers not being able to detect any description of the bridegroom's attire, take for granted Mountbatten wore his navy uniform when married to the Princess. o o Today was another big shopping day in Decatur and thousands were expected for the gift program, sponsored by the merchants. Christmas shopping is underway and local stores are filling the wants of those who frequent this popular trading center. • o o Even if only a few women will be able to buy a copy of Princess Elizabeth’s titivating, or should we say, gorgeous, wedding gown, they will be interested in knowing that duplicates will be on display in leading markets in a few days. One fashion authority said, that minus some of the embroilery, pearls and gold trimming that the Princess’ model, may be purchased for around SSO Prospective brides will be interested, mJ doubt. o o Along with the suggestions for refacing or beautifying the court house building, attention should be given to the trees. Several of the maples have been torn asunder by storms and should be replaced with younger trees. This decade, or generation probably will not see the construction of a new court house, so the suggestion for restyling and beautifying the public square should be investigated. o o The state examiners have found an additional shortage of $2,917.01 in the accounts of Alonzo B. Garrett, former treasurer of Wells county, bringing the alleged discrepancy to $17,613.93. So far Garrett hasn’t been apprehended to answer to the alleged shortage in his accounts. The examiners reveal that the additional deficit occurred in the period between August 18 and October 27, the former date being at the time the first

The Treatment of Acidosis

By Herman N. Bundesen, M. D. WE hear a lot of loose talk these days about acidosis, but few people really understand what it means. To get the picture, try thinking of the body, with all its many systems and complex activities, as a delicately adjusted scale in which one thing is matched against another to give an unstable but constant equilibrium; or, as a tightrope artist who would fall from his wire in a moment if he ever stood still. Nowhere is this more true than of the blood, that complex and wonderful fluid in which alkaline substances are matched against acids to make possible the complicated reactions by which we live. To doctors, this equilibrium of the blood is known as the acid-base balance and, if it is seriously upset one way or the other, we get into all sorts of trouble. A good many different diseases can cause acids to pile up in the tissues faster than they cant be eliminated. Other conditions tend to reduce the body’s store of alkaline substances unduly. In eitlter case, acidosis results. ; Diabetic patients have a tendency toward acidosis. It rciay develop in otherwise healthy , people who drink alcohol to excess!., or it may be a complication of s tarvation, heart attacks, and tsevere asthma. 1 Alkalosis occurs either freon an oversupply of alkaline substances, such as baking soda, or from loss of acid during severe and repeated vomiting. the symptom ß of acidosis ar® loss of appetite, a feeling of

audit was begun. ——o o If France gets any place under Leon Blum, the 75 year-old socialist premier, it will be a surprise to many who have watched foreign affairs. Our guess is, that he’s more likely to go over to the Communists, rather than DeGaulle and it’s doubtful, even if he is sincere, that a middle-of-the-road policy between the two dominant parties can be engineered. Blum had taint before the war and we don’t think that he is any better now. o o As could be expected, tho “luck” or formula which the two college youths had in beating roulette wheel in Reno didn’t last. Yesterday they droped about $5,000 of their winnings and according to press dispatches, the boys have decided to keep their remaining jack-pot of around $7,(T00 and hit for home. If they are as smart as their first experience indicated, they’ll enjoy Thanksgiving with their parents, content at being ■ ahead of the game. It’s a fable ( that anyone broke the bank of | Monte Carlo. ——IO o The dead-line for filing a petition for a recount of the votes cast * in the recent city election having £ elapsed, no contest will be forthcoming that might prove the accur- J acy of the count, or reveal that j the outcome would have been changed. Mayor Stults has shown J no inclination for contesting the f vote, which gave his opponent John Doan a 35 vote margin. No one has f charged fraud or political con- t nivance and none is made by the defeated candidate or party lead- 1 ers. The mere fact, that following a close-election result, rumors j spread that many “mutilated” bal- 1 lots were thrown out which If counted, would have changed the result, gave credence, to the report that a contest might be filed. i ,», o -o It’s a good thing for residents of the townships to discuss school problems and proposals for new buildings, for education of youth should constantly move forward. If a majority want consolidated schools, it seems that the people should be able to work out a plan between neighbors to acquire these modern buildings. The expense of operating schools is also to be considered and with modern transportation systems, the consolidated school is not any farther away from the majority of pupils, than the one room district buildings used to be for those who had to walk several miles to classes. Let the discussions continue and the people decide.

i. ness, muscle pains, headache, sick--3 ness to the stomach, vomiting, s cramps, and rapid breathing. There L is a loss of fluid from the blood as r a result of vomiting or fluid aC- ’ cumulating in the body tissues. The t rapid breathing and loss of blood x fluid are the most serious symptoms. Alkalosis causes lightheadedness, dizziness, sickness at the 3 stomach' and headaches. A the I condition become more severe, there be muscle spasms and, at times, even convulsions. The treatment to be given for these conditions bears, in large measure, on the causes of their appearance. For example, in chronic kidney inflammation or chronic arthritis, acidosis is treated by the giving of fluids by injection into a vein or under the skin. A mixture of salt solution and glucose together with sodium lactate is often employed. When acidosis occurs in the diabetic patient, he is given injections of insulin every half hour and from a quart to a quart and a half of fluid by mouth. This fluid is made up of glucose and orange jice, together with salt solution and water. If the patient is unconscious, or there is sickness at the stomach and vomiting, the fluids are given by injection. In acidosis which develops from alcohol poisoning, the sodium lactate is employed. This, too, may be given by injection into a vein. An alkaline diet following all injections of glucose or salt solutions into a vein is helpful. I& acidcu* wbicft ftcetfrt durinj heart failure 4 diet limited in salt i should be used. _

SYNOPSIS r Alison Van Dyke comes to Wash- 1 Ington to live with Teresa, her am- ' bilious, domineering half-sister, follow- ] ing the death of their mother, Kitty, j in Vermont. Four years before Teresa, , a highly successful interior decorator, had married Sam Tarrant, quiet, ideal- ] istic newspaperman, but the marriage , had ended in divorce the following year shortly after the birth of their ' daughter Suxy. Alison, who was 16 at 1 the time of the wedding, knew the '■ instant she met Sam that he was the 1 only man she would ever love. Teresa 1 was not at home when Alison arrived, but to her great joy, Sam was there enjoying his weekly visit with his small daughter. He explained that since his discharge from the army lie has been operating the newspaper and farm in nearby Virginia which his late father left him. He confided his worry over Sury, a shy, nervons child who became so upset when introduced to Alison, her nnrse, Miss Winstead, was forced to take her from the room. 1 , “ CHAPTER SEVEN When the door closed after Sam, , Alison stood a few moments with 1 a searching, questioning look. Then, thinking she must freshen before Teresa came home and seeing no one to tell her where to go, she walked slowly up the carpeted steps and stood still again. The front bedroom with the broad bed with the white ruffled canopy was no doubt Teresa’s. Next to it was Suzy’s room and, though Alison saw Miss Winstead putting on Suzy’s red coat and leggings presumably to take the child for a walk, she didn’t say anything. When she saw her bag at the end of the hall, she walked toward it, passing on her way another room that was probably another guest room. Her room—she supposed ft was her room—was small with a single bed and a chest painted white and a small dressing table and a chair. It was so ontiseptically clean and so unlike Kitty Van Dyke’s haphazard housekeeping that Alison was almost afraid to touch anything. She was delighted when she saw a small bathroom which she hoped was to be exclusively her own. She looked at her watch. It was five o'clock. Since Teresa would be coming soon there wasn’t time to hang up her clothes or change her suit There was time only to wash her face and put on fresh lipstick and tidy her hair. When she saw in the mirror how disheveled she looked she was sorry Sam had seen her when she appeared Like this. When she went downstairs again she was conscious of the quietness- Kitty Van Dyke’s house had always rattled with activity openias and clcsfiig and

Two cigarets . . . Two v cigarets together . . . Wondering a if her cigaret and his would ever a share such proximity again, she 1 carefully and rather reluctantly c deposited them in the low-burning 1 fire and watched their disintegra- f tion. t She had been sitting a little [ while when she heard Miss Win- I stead and Suzy come in and Miss Winstead’s saying, “Careful of the < steps, dear," as they went upstairs 1 again. And then because it seemed 1 appropriate she gave herself up to thinking of Teresa. 1 You can believe you know a per- i son quite well because she is a relative or an old friend, but when you begin to think about her it ( may surprise you to realize that you know her very moderately. ; Thus, though there had never been . a time when she had not been con- ; scious of her older half-sister and uad always been inexpressibly proud of her, she had been with Teresa actually very little. As a little girl in New England with her odd foreign clothes, her difficulty with the language, her lack of a father and her poor, shabby house, Alison had had nothing to boast of at an age when little girls try to And at least one thing they have that is better than anyone else’s. She had had only Teresa. She could always say, “My sister is an artist in Boston." After a bit she could say, “My sister is an interior decorator in Washington and she has a fur coat and she wears fingernail polish on her toe nails, too. So there!” In late years when she had entirely outgrown the desire to boast she could have added a good deal more t» Teresa’s accomplishments—her own and obviously very lucrative business, her house, her travels, her child. Interior decorators, Alison had decided long ago, must make more money than anyone else in the world. Her mother had said the same thing with a puzzled look in her faded eyes. She remembered that when Teresa came up to Vermont to visit them she had always looked very tentative. Even the way she sat on a chair —she always looked first to see If there was any dustseemed temporary. One thing she had always done with great thoroughness was to clean the pantry and closets, her fair hair wrapped neatly in a pretty kerchief. The house was lighter By at least a

Shirley Striker led group singing followed by the pledge to the 4-H flag and American flag led by Leonard Schwartz. "Sweetheart” was a solo sung by Shirley Striker, after which Harry Mazelin played an accordian solo. Coleen Wagner gave an interesting account of her trip to the state fair girls school. Pictures showing camp life, local meetings, 4-H club fair, and many other social and educational events were shown by L. E. Archbold and Anna K. Williams. Gold, silver and bronze year pins were presented to the completing members according to their number of years in 4-H club work. The girls had a 93 percent completion, for which they received a seal for their charter and a gavel. The boys received a flag set for a high percentage of completion.

ton when she left, for Kitty could not bear to throw anything away. Also Teresa invariably rearranged the furniture and, so that Alison and her mother would stop stumbling over it in the dark, they always moved it back to the old places after Teresa left. Kitty would sigh a great sigh of relief after one of Teresa’s brief visits and begin saving odd bits of food in the pantry and boxes in the closeta Alison could sit with her legs up again and breathe the sweetly Indolent air that had returned after the charged atmosphere that Teresa’s presence created. Hearing the front door open and close she got up and went into the hall, seeing Teresa as she came into her house. “Hello, dear,” Teresa exclaimed in her throaty, earthy voice. “I see you found your way.” A brief embrace, a scented kiss . . . Teresa always used the most divine perfume . . . She wore a green wool dress and a scarf of sables over her shoulders. A rather high green hat sat back from her fine, smooth, fair hair. Her eyes Were large and blue and perceiving. It seemed to Alison that Teresa had always been able to see things before anyone else so that she always had a decision before the other person had begun to make one. Her red mouth was full, but the sharpness of her chin seemed to be increasing. There was no slack to her. Shoulders back and chin Up she seemed to march, but to do it with grace and with a seductive aloofness. Alison had often wondered if she ever relaxed. Her mother, who had spent most of her life cultivating leisure, had been moved to say more than once, "Relax, Teresa, relax.” But Teresa’s eyes and her body were Insatiably curious. “Yes, I found my way,” Alison replied. ‘lt really was no trouble at all.” “Annette will bring us a cocktail presently. But I always go up to see Suzy first. Have you seen her?” Her vital face brightened when she spoke of Suzy. “Miss Winstead brought her down. She’s—she’s adorable.” Teresa smiled, her features becoming soft and kind and maternal. “She is a darling, isn’t she ? I’ll be with you in a few minutes. I always Stay with her while Winnie comes down for her supper—Suzy’s supper." Alison returned to the living room. Teresa was gone half an hour exactly. She came in as Annette brought m the trky.

Nov. 15-22-29 ■= o Trade in n Good Town — Decatur SYNOPSIS Alison Van Dyke comes to Washington to live with Teresa, her ambitious, domineering half-sister, following the death of their mother, Kitty, in Vermont. Four years before Teresa, a highly successful interior decorator, had married Sam Tarrant, quiet, idealistic newspaperman, but the marriage had ended in divorce the following year shortly after the birth of their daughter Suzy. Albin, who was 16 at the time of the wedding, knew the instant she met Sam that he was the only man she would ever love. Teresa was not at home when Alison arrived, bnt to her great joy, Sam was there enjoying his Weekly visit with his gmaU daughter. He explained that since his discharge from the army he has been operating the newspaper and farm in nearby Virginia which his late father left him. He confided his worry over Suzy, a shy, nervoce child who became so upset when introduced to Alison, her nurse, Miss Winstead, was forced to take her from the room. Teresa came in shortly after Sam’s departure. CHAPTER EIGHT Sitting opposite Alison Teresa said, “I’m sorry to keep you waiting, darling, but I always spend 20 minutes with Suzy each evening and I have 10 to freshen up. Then, even if no one else is here, Annette always brings me a cocktail.” Life by the clock, Alison thought, as she took the glasi from her sister. Didn’t the program ever vary? She and her mother had been constantly changing their routine because Kitty had thought life very dull if you didn’t She remembered her mother once saying, “Some mornings I make the beds first and clean upstairs. On other mornings I wash the breakfast dishes and clean downstairs. Heaven forbid that I should do the same things the same way every morning and get into a tut.” Alison said, “The house is lovely, Teresa. Annette put my bag in the last room down the hVll. I supposed you meant that one for me." “Didn’t she unpack for you?" “Why, no.” "Servants aren’t very well trained these days, but Im lucky to have one at all. Os course Winnie will never leave me as long as I need her.” Over the rim of the glass she asked, “How much did you get for the old house and how much have you left?” Taken aback by the abruptness of the question Alison said after a little hesitation, "I sold it for five thousand. I couldn’t hold out for six as you told me to. Mother owed about a thousand dollars.” “She owed a thousand dollars! That much?” “WeU, yes. She had to have some repairs done to the house.

It was in dreadful condition. It was so old and leaked so badly we had to move around when it rained so we wouldn’t be rained on. Then there were a lot of bills that added up.” “A good many you didn’t know about, I grant." She took a cigaret and lighted it and blew the smoke ceilingward. “I think she knew she was going to die a year ago and she knew when everything was sold there’d , be enough to pay the bills. So she just put them all in the desk for the last year and didn’t pay any of them. Then there were the — the funeral expenses and some of my bills at school.” “The auction of the furniture brought something.” “Two hundred and six dollars. I have it all written down. Naturally half of what is left is yours.” Fair though it was, she had hoped that Teresa, who had so much, would be generous and not accept it Not that she wanted to spend ft It was simply that she would like the money for se- ' curity in case of illness or unemployment Teresa poured herself another cocktail. “I won’t accept it for myself. I’ll put it in Suzy’s education account. I have a separate account for that And was there nothing left of your father’s insurance that you and mother have , been living on for the past 11 years?” “That was gone a year ago. It was only ten thousand dollars. We lived on it for ten years. So since last year we’ve owed everybody.” Teresa looked at her compassionately. “I know this is not at all a pleasant subject for you. But we must after all, be practical. , I think you’ve handled everything . exceedingly well. Mother was so —so impractical, to say the least. Did she suffer much?” "She suffered horribly—at the ■ end.” I “If she had taken care of herself and eaten properly and had taken exercise she'd have lived for years.” [ “You can’t live for years with . cancer.” , Teresa nodded. “I know you’ve . been through a very bad time, > dear. Did she bleach her hair to i the last?” [ Alison’s eyes deepened with hurt. Her own chin sharpened when she i said, “I did it for her the last time. . fshe said she wanted it to be pretty . when she was dead. It—it was. ; Teresa’s eyes looked curiously • amused. She must be mistaken, Alison thought. Teresa couldn’t be ! amused at this. Teresa said, "You needn't take s offense, darling. Surely you . i now her personal habits distressed
