I o o 1 I The importance of the dairy Industry to ea< h community, and

especially to this county, is revealed in a talk by the president of the American Dairy Association. The number of dsjiry cows declined in the last few years, the ratio in the state falling from four to six per person. The 111 club members have the opportunity of reviving interest in the dairy herds in this county. — o — o Commenting on President Trumans address to Congress, the Journal • Gazette, remarks, "Mr Truman has put life in the Fall campaign . . . that much is cer lain.’* The editorial explained, "If little action is taken by the senate and house on the proposed program, the issues will be sharply joined for the November election, when the voters will attempt to fix the blame for what has been done and what has not been done." Q O

The member* of Congress should do more than draw their mileage for returning to Washington for the special session There is a crying need heard throughout the country for a law or laws to curb Inflation. If the present spiral continues, by next January the dollar won't be worth 25 cents and the average wage earner will be sunk. Congress should heed the warning of President Truman and ‘ put on the brakes against inflated prices. * —o O’Herbert Brownell, the rich NewYork lawyer who is managing Gov.

Finding Cause of Backache

M. 0.1 YOUR backache may mean a headache for your doctor hwause pain in the lower part of the back la still one of the unsolved problem* of medicine Thia symptom may be the sign of so many different disorder* that, try aa he will, the doctor cannot always hit on a quick and easy way of relieving It. Even today, when medicine haa forged ao far ahead in ao many other field*, it doe* not have all the facta regarding the causes for backache Certain points seem settled, but others are yet to be proved At one time, for inatar.ee. the Joint between the loweat part of the spine and hip. known as the sacroiliac Joint, was regarded an the most likely culprit In case* of backache and we heard a great deal about aacro-liiac strain and inflammation Today, on the other hand, an accusing medical finger Is pointed at the spinal disc* as the most frequent cause of pain in the lower pert of the hack. These little discs ar* cartilage pads which act as cushions between the hones of the spine Quite naturally. In fulfilling their function aa th* body’s shock absorber*. they are subject to *traln and injury In fact, according to Dr Hugh T. Joa*s. of Loo Angeles, It la not generally realised how very early tn Use injuries to the sptnal diacs can occur It would also th*' Md posture may be related to tojan*. to the a*tu! ft tWtog thee* due lajuri**.

Next week ushers in the opening of the Reppert School of Auctioneering. Founded In 1920 by the late Fred Reppert, who became the country's moat famous auctioneer in the livestock ring, the school has great appeal to men who wish to train as salesmen and auctioneers. Indications are that the enrollment will exceed 200, the students coming from nearly every state in the Union, parts of Mexico and Canada. The school is well managed and its fame tn indicative of the high place it holds among men who wish to engage and become successful in the field of salesmanship and auctioneering. which today Includes everything from apples to zebras. This newspaper extends a welcome to the members of teaching staff and students.

The Adams County Manorial hospital has served this community for the past 25 years. In view of the thousands of patients that the hospital administered to in the past quarter-century, one wonders how we ever go along without such an institution of mercy for almost a century. As a county hospital, it has been well managed and supervised. Its services to the sick, to victims of tragic accidents and those needing surgery, are innumerable. The hospital has taken the place of the home in giving the first glint of light to the newlyborn and for this and other reasons has a sentimental value and appreciation in the hearts of manyNo doubt the hospital has survived its worst financial days and in the future our thoughts should be directed toward the construction of a nurses' home, the adding of a

link- or otherwise improving the services of the institution. o o Alex M Campbell, who has made an outstanding record as I*. S. District Attorney for the Northern Indiana District, is slated for an appointment as assistant attorneygeneral under the energetic and equally capable Tom Clark. Campbell has few enemies and the only motive that might block his nomination to hte high post is politics. As District Attorney. Mr. Campbell has prosecuted some of the federal government's most famous cases and with one exception obtained convictions. If he is given an Interim appointment, he will be placed In charge of the criminal division of the justice department, and assigned the task of prosecuting the dozen leaders of the Communist party, who were recently indicted. This newspaper and i friends in Decatur would be most | happy to see Mr. Campbell honored with the appointment, confident of his ability to make good.

rest l« most helpful, particularly early in the course of the condition The patient should be at complete rent In bed. without getting up for the toilet or meal*. The knees should be on a pillow and the head and shoulders raised ■lightly. After the patient Is allowed out of bed. various types of corsets, braces, or casts may he fitted to give support. Heat and masaage help to give some measure of relief If these measures do not relieve the disorder, an operation is usually necessary. If backache develops, there Is always need for a thorough study to determine its cause, if possible. This means complete physical examination, including various ape rial tests of muscle movement* and. of course. X-ray photographs of the spine. As a rule. It la not difficult to make a diagnosis of an injured spinal diac, but many other condi tions responsible for back pain may be more difficult to discover such as tuberculosis of th* spine injury to the soft tissues, tnflam mation of supporting structures muscle Inflammation, and diseased conditions In the organa In the the liver?

John looked at her. “AU right,” he agreed quietly, after a moment "I don’t want to." “Well, then!" She threw back her head and slanted a bright defiant look across at him. “I'U go live there alonel Through the winter, I mean." For • moment he made no reply. Then, alowly, he walked toward her. “When you do that," he aaid, "you won't come back." “Os course ru come back. I can stand it here through the summer!" “What Tm saying la that 1 won't allow you to come back. I'll have no half-marnage such as that" Her eye* narrowed. “1 think you wilL" “No. I win not" “Becaua* I'U take Judy with me."

But Judy stays with me" He released her with a slight push and walked away. Helen'* triumphant vole* followed him. "The court* usually award a child to the care of its mother."

Leaving Judy to others had been away of getting even with John for hia ever having wanted her. It had been smart, ahe had thought. But now she saw that it waa a smartness that bad boom eranged. She looked at him standing there, his gray eyes ao clear and bright—and cold. Cold aa th* sea Suddenly she hated him. Tea, she hated him! For his obduracy. For his selAahneaa For his righteousness. Why should she stay with him? Why shouldn't she live tn New York by herself, not only for the winter but all the tune? She knew women who did. Smartlooking, successful women making no more than ahe waa Ah! But she knew, too. the price they paid to appear smart-looking and successful. For. alone, a woman la unne'ded.

She looked at him standing there by the fireplace with his back to her. one clenched fist at hia forehead, and she was vaguely startled. "What do you want?” she asked. He whirled on her. "You—here.
