Congress' idea of reducing the amount of money for the Marshall plan is to appropriate $4,800,000,000 at present, claim a saving and then pass an emergency appropriation before the end of the fiscal year. Whom are they kidding. —_o o Indianapolis is catching up with new house building, according to newspaper reports. At least the sale of new houses is slowing down, possibly due to lending company’s demand for a $7,000 down payment on a $16,000 home. o o-~ — Headlines have been made about an expected meat shortage this year, but according to the American Meat Institute, the average person will eat about one-fourth ounce more per day during 1948, than during prewar years. Compared with last year, which saw record production, the reduction is only one-half ounce less per day, Sb if you have the money to buy, the supply will appease most appetites. A letter has come to our desk stating that only eight of the 48 states have laws that require school instruction in the Declaration of Independence. This great document is the foundation of American life and its freedoms.

Rheumatic Fever Treatment

By Herman N. Bundesen, M. D. 1 THOUGH rheumatic fever has been designated as the No. 1 killer and crippier of children in the United States, it has its hopeful side. The first attack of this disease. which starts with fever and swelling and pain in the joints, and often ends with damage to the heart, may not result in very much injufy to that all-important organ. But repeated attacks, even though mild, will, and for this reason treatment should center around preventing a recurrence of this dread disease. Unfortunately, up to now, neither the cause nor any specific cure for this disorder has been discovered It is important, therefore, that the condition be diagnosed early and such measures as are available used to ward off heart damage. Parents should understand that rest in bed is the most important part of the treatment. If the heart damage is at all extensive, the patient should not be allow-ed out of bed fob any reason, and it may even be necessary for him to be fed The patient’s head should be raised by pillows so that he is comfortable. In the beginning, the patient's diet should consist mainly of milk and custards. Bread and butter may also he given to patients who can take them. As soon the patient's condition permits, a wellbalanced diet, with no restrictions should be used. For the pain in the joints and the fever, salicylates are used in practically an metasces. Sue| preparations at, sodium salicylate

Also, it emphasizes that we as a people recognize God as the Supreme Judge of the world. On cur coins, we affirm this belief with “In God we trust.” Indiana is not one of the eight states that prescribes instruction in the noble document. We believe, all of us, children and adults alike, should give more thought to the reading and study of the “unailienable rights” prescribed in the origin*! American doetrin*.

The death of Carl L. Centlivre of Fort Wayne, brought sorrow to his many friends in this city. Prominent in business, fraternal and social circles in his native city, Mr. Centlivre mirrored characteristic qualities of a cultured gentleman, enhanced with spontaneous enthusiasm and a love for life. He was a member of one of the pioneer families, long associated with the business and industrial progress of Fort Wayne. This newspaper extends heartfelt sympathies to his widow and members of his family as death removes him from his devoted family circle. o o Henry Schricker, one of the most popular governors who ever served the people, removes himself as a candidate for the Democratic nomination for governor. Friends were endeavoring to get him to enter

the race, but this possibility is

closed with Mr. Schricker’s announcement. A number of men are mentioned for the nomination, including R. Earl Peters, Sam Jackson, Harry McClain and John

Watkins. The state convention

will be held in June. The Democrats should be able to win because of the Republican’s failure to reduce taxes in the state, and the unequaled distribution to local communities of those collected. o o In his Fort Wayne address, Dr. Cordier, executive secretary to Trygve Lie, secretary-general of the United Nations, emphasized that “U. N. is a going concern.” and that its objectives must be understood by the people. He smashed the fears of those who believe differences in nationality produces a wall against the success of U. N. Dr. Cordier mentioned certain successes, both in the General Assembly and in the Social Council, stating that fourfifths of all decisions in the former organization have been made by unanimous vote. ‘‘The United Nations cannot succeed without popular support of the people. We may fail even with .it, but it cannot succeed without popular support,” the secretary and former Hoosier college professor, emphasized in his talk.

may be given every four hours. Sodium bicarbonate, that is, baking soda, may be given along with the salicylates. The patient, of course, should receive plenty of fluids. If the salicylates cause ringin* in the ears or vomiting, they may have to be stopped for a few days and then started again in smaller doses. As a general rule, the pains in the joints are relieved within two days with this treatment. It is sometimes suggested that the affected joints be wrapped in light bandages. Insofar as rest in bed is concerned, it should be continued for about four weeks after all active signs of the condition have cleared up. In the usual case, this means a period of at least three months in bed from the beginning of the disease. The best signs of the clearing up of the active condition is the return to normal of the temperature and pulse rate, disappearance of the anemia, with a normal number of white cells in the blood, and a normal blood sedimentation rate. The latter means the rate at which the blood cells settle out of the fluid part of the blood. Infections •cause changes in the blood sedimentation rate. Once the condition has cleared up. the child should be allowed to return to normal activities gradually and. in a few weeks, should be allowed up for a lime each day and permitted to walk about. During the period of recovery he should he elwfeiy watched bv tpr physic to make sure that the conditloh does not recur.

CHAPTER THIRTY-ONE MARK and Elaine went cut, and when the sound of the station wagon died away, Bill turned and looked first at Aunt Edith and then at Cathy. “Well, girls,” he said at last, his voice trying hard to sound light, “here we go. I went to Atlanta, Aunt Edith, as you must have guessed by now, to look for a job —a job that would permit me to take decent and adequate care of —my wife.” Edith Kendall was stunned, although her eyes showed that she had expected this and dreaded it and' wanted to refuse to accept it. “But, Bill darling, you’ve got a job—a fine job. The salary is more than ample for you — and your wife. If it isn’t, it can be increased,” she protested iuisteadily. "That, of course, depending entirely upon whether or not I marry as you wish me to. Aunt Edith,” said Bill quietly. "You’ve held that over my head much too long, and I’m rebelling. I have chosen my wife, and I'm sorry that you disapprove, but naturally, I quite understand just what it means. That I shall have to give up my job and my chances of being your heir and all the rest of it. I admit I fought a long time against making this decision. I’ve shar. ed Cathy and hurt her, over and over again, because I had my heart set on sharing with her the money that I feel I have every right to inherit But I’ve realized, at long last, that having Cathy is all that really matters. I swore, always, that I would never marry unless I knew beyond all reasonable doubt that my wife could have every comfort and luxury. I tried to sell Cathy the idea, but she feels that love is far more important than money—and I feel that Cathy is the most important thing in my life. So —I’m sorry, Aunt Edith, but that’s the way it is. I’m leaving Cypressville at the end of the month and starting work on my new job two weeks later. The two weeks is for a honeymoon.” “But, Bill—Bill, i’ve told Cathy I no longer object to your marriage—that I’m perfectly willing for you to marry her—in a few months, maybe—” stammered Mrs. Kendalb Cathy held her breath, her eyes on Bill. And Bill smiled at her faintly, reassuringly, and said quietly, “Cathy and I are married, Aunt Edith. We were secretly married several weeks ago.” There was a stuhned silence. Mrs. Kendall stared at him as though she could not believe her mm And then she looked at Cathy, wide-eyed, shocked. “This —this shameful thing Isn’t true, Cathy?” she gasped. “I’m afraid it is, Mrs. Kendall.” Bill flushed and ran his fingers through his hair with a gesture that Cathy remembered as characteristic when he was confused or uneasy. “I suppose it was shameful in a way—a great injustice to Cathy,” he admitted unwillingly. “To Cathy? What about the injustice to me? Surely I deserve better treatment than that from you, Bjll. That you should sneak ’ around behind ffty back afid marry

When a young man wishes to ask a girl for a date, is it all right for him to say, “Are you going to be busy Wednesday evening”? A. it would be much better to ask her for the date. Is is her privilege to accept or say that she has an

some girl you knew 1 disapproved of as your wife—” Mrs. Kendall set her teeth hard, biting off what she had meant to say as though fearful of Bill’s anger. “You have only yourself to blame. Aunt Edith, that I didn’t trust you more,” said Bill. "You’ve always held the Kendall estate over my head —or rather, just ahead of me—like a carrot ahead of a donkey to make it pull harder. Even the donkey, stupid as he is, finally begins to suspect he isn’t ever going to get the carrot, no matter how hard he pulls. Well, I’ve never made any secret of the fact that I felt the Kendall estate was more mine than yours. After all, my mother and your husband should have shared the estate equally, and at his death, the least he could have done was to have left a will dividing it. But you hung onto it with both fists and used it as a whip over me. I learned in a very hard way that money is desperately important; I watched my mother, whom I worshipped, die of malnutrition and overwork, when only a few of the dollars to which you clung so jealously might have saved her. I meant never again, so long as I lived, to put myself in a spot where I’d have to watch someone I loved suffer for lack of the sheer necessities of life.” He put his arm about Cathy and drew her close, his cheek against her hair. “But Cathy has taught me that, right or wrong, I can’t live without her,” he finished quietly. "If she’s willing to take a chance on —poverty and love—then I’m the luckiest guy that ever lived, and we’re going to have a shot at it.” "Oh, Bill—wait,” whispered Cathy shakily. But Mrs. Kendall’s voice drowned her faint whisper. “Bill, you mustn’t leave Cypressville. You mustn't leave the plant. Most of all, Bill, you mustn’t leave —me,” she pleaded, and now tears were slipping down her convulsed face. “Bill, I’ll withdraw fill my objections—l’ll make over half the estate to you and Cathy now. and leave you the rest in my will. I can’t lose you, Bill—you’re all I’ve got.” Bill said suddenly, deeply touched, “Aunt Edith, I’m sorry to have hurt you.” She smiled at him through her tears, and suddenly she looked very old and ver” tired. “I gifess I deserved it. Bill. I— I was so jealous. You have always meant so much to me,” she stammered. Bill put his arms about her ona Kissed her cheek; with his own handkerchief he touched the tears from her face. Cathy stood very still, looking on, saying nothing until Bill turned to her, his eyes alight"So that’s the way it’s going to be,” he said. “And we’U all live happily ever after.” Mrs. Kendall smiled damply at Cathy and said eagerly, "But we won’t announce that you’re secretly married! We’U announce your engagement, and then in a month ■ or so, you can be married here, i publicly." ; "No!” said Cathy emphatically, r and Bill and Mrs. KendaJJ stared

at her, astonished. “We won t announce our marriage, Bill. It would be rather pointless, I’m afraid, since I intend to ask for a divorce as soon as 1 am assigned to duty.” "A divorce!" Mrs. Kendall paled with the shock of that. "My dear girl, you are out of your mind!” Bill said quickly, “Cathy, you can’t do this to me.” "I’m sorry. Bill, I’m afraid I’ll have to,” said Cathy steadily. “I tried to tell you that night—was it only last night? It seems ages ago!—that I wasn’t in love with you any more.” “The girl’s insane, Bill. Here she’s been running after you for years—" bleated Mrs. Kendall, outraged. “Be quiet, Aunt Edith,” said Bill shortly, his eyes never leaving Cathy's white face. “What is it you want, Cathy?” “Just — just to be quite free again. To be Cathy Layne, of the Army Nurse Corps, answerable to no one but my superior officers and my own conscience! I’m tired of being nervous and wrought-up and living in the shadows because you were so afraid you might lose your aunt’s money.” “But, Cathy, all that’s cleared up now.” "I know —” “And Aunt Edith wants us to be married.” "I know—and that makes me out a fool that—that when I am offered something I thought I wanted more than anything -Ise tn the world—l find that, after all, I don’t want It any more." Though her voice shook and she was as white as her gown, her chin was up and her eyes met Bill's steadily. Mrs. Kendall was forgotten by both of them, and she stood almost fearfully, looking from one to the other, listening, dreading what she must hear. Bill moved closer to Cathy and . she slipped behind a chair so that i he could not touch her. He grinned I a little at that, a grin that was ■ entirely mirthless, that was little . more than a contraction of his fai cial muscles. “So you’re afraid to let me touch . you, Cathy.” “Why should I be afraid?” ■ "Because you know that once . you’re in my arms, and I have kissed you, you will have forgotten • all this idiotic business about not I being in love with me any more.” “I won’t, Bill. Oh, I admit that . when you kiss me, I—feel stirred . emotionally, but that’s only be- > cause the habit of being In love with you Is so strong. But what i matters. Bill. Is not the way I reel i when I’m In your arms, but the s way I feel when I’m away from you." r “Oh?” Bill’s eyebrows went up I a little. “And how do you feel when you’re away from me, ) Cathy?” > "Desperately tired and — and quite empty. I just want to go t quite away from Cypressville and > never come back again—and never . see anyone from here again—exr cept Maggie, of course,” said i Cathy. t “But—a divorce!

It can be used in a variety of ways to enhance your menus. The fact that hamburger is one of the cheaper types of meat cannot be over-looked. Here are a few of my favorite hamburger recipes.
