A Lkefui Chemical Test That Aids Diagnosis

By Herman N Bundewn, M. O. BOTH patient anti doctor are fortunate today in having at their disposal a great variety of laboratory teat*. When properly used, such testa not only make a diag nosis more sure but also more rapid, and thus enable the doctor to get treatment under way almost at once Home of these testa are •■xlretno |y useful when it comes to making a diagnosis of stomach and bowel disturbances, and non<- of these tests is more necessary than that designed to date* t the present* of blood in the bo sal movements.

f platform Their hospitality baa ' been in form of eggs and tomatoes hurled at the presidential candl date, which anyone will admit Is not a very polite way of saying howdy'. Wallace has antagonlxed that thought of mapy people and his Idea of painting Stalin as a saint, and Uncle Sam as satan. doesn tgo down so well Maybe he ordered eggs. o o The Democrats have a complete county ticket for the November election, the vacancy caused by the resignation of Ed Christen for county surveyor, being filled with the appointment of Herman Moel lering. prominent Preble township farmer. The candidates headed by Edward Kruse for Congress and

I Myles Parrish for Judge of the I Adams Circuit court, will make an fagressive campaign as they seek I the recommendation of the voters lin the November election. A life(long Democrat and former county I superintendent of schools, Mr. I Christen was fort ed on advice of this physician to forgo the rigors lof the campaign and tendered bis I resignation to the central comImlttee. I o o Rules For War: I In a Ked Cross conference in Stockholm, International representatives have been discussing rules of warfare dealing with care of the sick and wounded and the status of captured medical personnel under the rules for warfare set up in the Geneva Convention of 1929.

If there must be war*, it I* sens Ible to conduct them according to rules, for thereby human suffering can be reduced. For centuries there have been international lawa, written and unwritten, governing war. Rut there is something about the matter which dors not make complete sense. If the nations can get together and agree on rules for war. why can they not just as calmly agree on the avoidance of war? Or why not draft rules which would make war impractical? In the philosophy of taking na tlons to war according to care fully drawn international laws proliabiy Uien- is something of the conception of gentility held by the formal duelist, who in effect says to his challenged opponent. "I in tend to kill you. but I shall go about it as a gentleman should."

Modern Etiquette By ROBERTA LEE |> 0 Q. How many bridesmaids and ushers should be Included In the wedding party? A. There is no wet and definite number, this depending entirely upon the manner and setting of the wedding, and the bride's wishes. Q How soon after making a visit should the bread-and-butter letter be written? A. If possible, write It within two or three days after returning home, and never delay any longer than a week. Q If someone mispronounces one's name, would it be all right to correct him? A. Yes. of course, but do it graciously and with out showing any resentment.

an evening paper—it referred to t the death of a man called Enoch c Arden—at Warmsley Vale, a small t old-world village about three miles ■ from the popular Warmsley Heath t Golf Course. Hercule Poirot said to himself t again: 5 "I wonder what has been going t on ta Warmsley Vale. ..." <j •• • | Warmsley Heath consists of a . Golf Course, two Hotels, some very t expensive modern villas giving a onto the Golf Course, a row of t what were, before the war, luxury < shope, and a railway station.

It baa a main street of Georgian houses, several pubs, a few unfashionable shope and a general air of being a hundred and fifty Instead of twenty-eight miles from London. Its occupants one and all unit* in despising the mushroom growth of Warmsley Heath. On th* outskirts are some charming houses with pleasant old world gardens- It was to one of these houses, the White House, that Lynn Marchmont returned ta the early Spring of IMB when she was demobbed from the Wrenn On her third morning she looked out of h«r bedroom window, across the untidy lawn to the elms In the ' meadow beyond. aad sniffed the ' air happily.

SMITH Food Preservation By Freezing Food preserved by freezing Is more nearly like fresh food than any other method of preparation can make It. Freezing is a much easier way to preserve food and. during hot summer months it's a cooler way. In addition, frozen foods lose very little of their food value if frozen quickly after gathering. What kind of foods to freeze? Only foods of highest quality should be frozen Some varieties of vegetables and fruits give a better frozen product than others. Reliable seed catalogs will list the better freezing varieties Just as food to be canned should be "one hour from garden to can," so should food to t>e frozen be prepared immediately after harvesting. Best results will be obtained when this procedure is followed. Vegetables and fruits should be thoroughly cleaned before freezing. This too, will Insure better keeping quality and a product of high quality. In ail fovid will he found chemical substances called enzymes or ferments. These substances will

It wa* not a very good breakfast. Already Lynn was realizing the undue proportion of tim* and interest taken by the search for food. Except for a rather unreliable woman who cam* four morning* a week. Mm | Marchmont was alone tn the house. 1 struggling with cooking and cleaning. She had teen nearly forty when Lynn was born and her health was not good. Also Lynn realised with some dismay how their financial position had changed.
