A Bad Pain That's Not S erious

By Herman N. Bundesen, M. 0.. THIO aerlousneas of a dlaraat* cannot always be Judged by the severity of Ita aymploms. We all know that cancer, one of the most deadly of all ailmenta. may cause no discomfort at all for lona periods of time. On the other hand. Devil's GHp. whkh starts with a sudden excruciating pain in the lower part of the cheat, makes Its victims feel very sick indeed without in any way endangering life There is considerable present concern with thia disorder because It seems to be appearing more frequently in this country, the moat recent outbreak having occurred a in New England In epidemic proportions. Perhaps Its chief Interest lies In the tort that It is easily confused with pneumonia, influence. poliomyelitis or some Inflammation of the stomach or bowel, because Devil's Grip is a self-limited disease. in other ■words, it gets well without any particular treatment I’pon examIratioa of these patients, usually nothing can be found eicept -aome tenderness in the upper part of th* aitdomen or lower part of the ebeat The patients, however, do have fever. Young persons arc particularly susceptible to the disorder The aptdemlrs seem to occur cspectolly tn the summer or early toll The exact cause of Devil s baa not bean defiaMely deter mined but it is believed that M ’

local schools, so far from being new, goes back to the 'Bo*s. Sen. Henry W Blair of New Hampshire introduced a bill providing for fedI era! appropriations for schools for a 10-year period. His'bill passed the Senate three times, but each time died in the House. Biair was a pioneer in other respects. In 1876. while in the House, he inf.rodu< ed a constitutional amendment prohibiting the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors. This should entitle him to the designation of "Father of the 18th Amendment." * o_. o_ _ Why not a statute of limitations for Communists? Most crimes have one; if a man was a Communist once and has since changed his mind, should his former belief be held against him indefinitely? The congressional bills outlawing Communism or merely requiring Communists to be registered, should contain a time limit, says Adolf A. Berle of New York City, former assistant secretary of state. This Is sensible advice, it would restrain to some extent the witchhunters who would condemn a man to the end of time because, before his political eyes were opened, he looked with favor on Communism. o o Mary Norton, for 21 years a member of Congress, has been made chairman of the Credentials Committee for the Democratic National Convention. Mrs. Norton considers her selection a definite step forward for women in politics, and predicts many more such [Misitions for them in the future. She has, however, a bone to pick with women in general. She says they have no confidence in their own sex as candidates for public office and claims that this is in part due to their upbringing, und in part to the fact that they have had the vote for only 28 years. They must learn, she asserts, to give their support to other women. Q_Q It was 38 years ago when Fort i Wayne took the first steps toward elevation of the Nickel Plate railroad tracks through that city. Today. the tracks are on the same roadbed as when they were built. Another discouraging factor is the opinion given by a firm of bond attorneys that all proceedings passed by the former Baals administration leading to elevation plans are illegal ijomeone remarked that "they would nickel [date the ! railroad before they elevated it.” ' Another stumbling block to remove ■ the tracks from street crossings Is the estimated cost to the city, estimated at 12 .Mp.tuwi. or sty percent of the entire outlay, as provided by present state law.

lis due to the virus. The pain usually occurs along the line where the diaphragm (the large muscle between the chest and the alwiomen) is attached to the chest wall. However, the pain mav shift from one side of the chest to the other and may pass upward into the shoulder or the area between the. shoulder blades. The pain is made worse by breathing, coughing, or movement of any sort. Sometimes, after the pain haa disappeared, it recurs. The temperature usually goes up when the pain appears or soon afterward, and may reach 104 degrees. It disappears gradually. In most cases within 1! hours, but in some Instances it may persist for from 10 days to two weeks. In some cases, a chill may occur before the pain develops Headache often adds to the patient's discomfort. Os course, when the symptoms which occur in Devil's Grip develop. a thorough study Is needed by a physician to make sure that aome other disease la not present. An X-ray of the chest should be taken and the number of white cells In the blood determined In Devil's Grip the white cell count to normal or slightly Increased at first but. later on. drops below normal. The patient with Devil's Crip rhoaid of course, be bept at rest so bed The physician wilt preseribo such drugs as will relieve the pdta and lessen the fever.

CHAPTER FOURTEEN MRS. 1*0778 Mid, with an air of scarcely concealed curiosity, "What do you think of that Eph Mcrwell, Mr. Paulson? I've seen you talking to him a couple of times." "I get my gas there," Andrew informed her. "1 like him. He has a real sense of humor. And so has his cat” Mrs. Potts was distinctly startled. "1 never heard of such a thing—a ca*. with a sense of humor! And is for that Eph—he's nothing but a show-off. Always twisting ths things he says so’s he can catch people off-guard and surprise 'em. He's lazy, too." Andrew raised his brows. "Lazy? He doesn't strike me that way." "Well, he is. He could be doing a man's work instead of setting around most of the day in that shack of his. How he makes out, 1 don't know—there’s not enough noney In It to keep him going, really—but he always seems to have plenty. Still keeps on that big house of his in town, and gives his good-for-nothin’ brother and family free rent and board, far as I can see. 'Course he's a perfect sink-hole of gossip—between what he picks up at the filling station, and what his sister-in-law passes on to him, he knows Just about everything that's happening around here, and he's managed to make a few deals that way—like this Wnecler place you're interested in. If you buy it, he'll have his cut from Lije Stevens, see if he doesn't!” "He's not married?" Andrew asked, keeping a straight face with an effort. "Married! That critter! No woman would have him, I guess. I guess he's tried, often enough, though." "Why, Ma," Gloria protested, resting her elbows on the book she was supposed to be studying, "you know you said yourself he was considered quite a catch, and if you hadn't married Pa—" Her mother turned on her fiercely. "You get back to your lessons, young lady. I don't want to hear another word out of you.” Andrew suddenly remembered Gloria had told him, that first day when he had applied for a room, that Eph was "sweet on her mother." He wondered what Mrs. Potts really had against MerweU. But before he could explore this train of thought, his landlady said. "Come to think of it. Gloria. 1 lew my old felt hat in the bam this afternoon when I was tidying up in there. You go get It" "Oh. Ma. Gloria wailed, "what on earth do you waat that old hat now for? 1 can get it tomorrow." "Yea, and 1 can catch a cold in my head, putting on a hat that's been hanging in a cold barn all night Now, hurry up!" "But—but It's dark out there." "I'll get it" Andrew offered, rising to his feet "You stay set, Mr. Paulson." Mrs. Potts said in an authoritative voice. "I asked Gloria to get it Time she got over these fool child lab aottaoa about the dark. anyway." Gloria shrugged into her wind-

breaker most unwillingly, and i finally left the warm, lighted < kitchen. At once her mother turned to Andrew. "Mr. Paulson," 1 she said, ar. unusual sense of ur- < gcncy in her voice, "I did that just I to get her out of the room. I i wanted to ask you—would you consider boarding here ? You sec," i she continued, before he could speak, "it you should buy that Wheeler farm, you'd be leaving in a couple months or so, and I wouldn't mind the extra work if it was only that long. It would save you money, too," she added, as if he needed an inducement Andrew opened his mouth to accept heartily, and remembered. Just in time, the tradition of bargaining which Mrs. Potts held so dear. "How much would it come to?” he asked instead. "Well, you’re getting your breakfasts now, and It would be dinners and suppers. I figure I could feed you right well for—say—seven dollars extra a week." •That would make it sixteen dollars." Andrew said in a doubtful voice, although tie was more than anxious to jump at the offer. Mrs. Potts bit her Up, while her pale eyes swiveled rapidly from him to the door. Gloria might be back at any moment "Make it fifteen,” she Mid, breathlessly. "That suits me fine," Andrew said, and she Mt back with a sigh of relief. "I might as well tell you,’ she said in a lower tone, and speaking rapidly, "that I'm doing this because of Gloria. Her manners could stand a little prettying up, and it’s been my observation," she added drily, "that girls will mind their manners better with a man around." Gloria came back into the kitchen, carrying the battered grey felt hat which her mother wore for chores about the place, as if it were some species of particularly repulsive worm. "It was on the floor,” she said in a quavering voice, "and something r-ran out of one of the stalls and I nearly stepped on it!" "Never mind that now," her mother said briskly. "Hang tt up on the hook, and come and finish your lessons. And then you can set the table-properly, young lady —because Mr. Paulson Is going to be eating here from now on." "Eating here!" Gkrta echoed, her eyes enormous with happy emotion. "You mean dinner and supper?" "What else is there?" her mother inquired acidly. "He already takes breakfast here.” "Oh. Mr. Paulson," Gloria trealhcd, "bow perfectly swell!" She gulped slightly. “I mesa—l mean—how dcjtaitely swell!" His landlady had frankly admitted that he was to become a boarder simply because of his influence on Gloria, but there was no doubt in Andrew's mind that her daughter was truly happy to have him.

aver a ledger, and her mouth poutid slightly with concentration. Andrew stood still in the doorway, and wondered a little at the jueer churning sensation within aim. Her hair had fallen forward a little, and the white Peter Pan :oltar of her blouse, lying smooth snd pristine against her blue iweater, gave her a little-girl look. Aware suddenly that someone was watching her, she looked up, snd he saw the soft rose-color Hood her face as she recognized him. Her mouth had two little dimples at the corner when she smiled, and her eyes crinkled with friendliness. "Come in," she said. "Here on businemT" "Yes, I’m on a still hunt for some lumber," he admitted. "Lumber?" She wrinkled her forehead in pretended ignorance "What 1s that?" “Don't tell me everybody is right, and you haven’t any,” ho said in mock despair. But there was enough real feeling in his voice to make her give him a second glance. "Do you really need it badly?" she asked. He nodded. "I’ve found the place 1 want to buy, 1 think. But it needs some remodeling." "Couldn't it wait?" "I’m afraid not Os course, everything's tentative so far. 1 haven’t even had lime to get the soil report from the University yet" "Didn’t you take it to the County Agent?” she inquired. "What’s a County Agent?” She shook her head at him. 'The County Agricultural Agent to give him his full title, Is the man who is the expert cm soils and crops, farm management forestry, dairying, orcharding—and heaven knows what else. He's stationed at Woodsville with his staff, and he's the man to see if you're thinking of buying a farm.” Andrew waa surprised. Thank* for the tip. I didn't know anything about him. I'U look him up today, that la, if I make any headway on the lumber problem." "Did you eay lumber’?” Alec Priest demanded, standing in the doorway of his office. Andrew wheeled around with a grin. "Now, don’t you start It, too." he said. "Start what? I’d give a good deal to start this mill running. Right now wo haven't enough in the ptace to make a cigar box." Andrew sighed. "Mrs. Potts said a dog-house. 1 see the situation is getting worse." “What did you want tt for, and how much?" Alec aald. adding at once, *Tm just asking out of curiosity, that’s alt Not that I eaa do anything about it, but everybody elee in thia town has told ma Ma Übubics, sv you might as wen get tn with the crowd.” Andrew aald seriously. "Pm thinking at buying a farm, but the house needs some fixing up." "What farm?" Alec asked. The Wheeler place—out East Branfi-ld way."
