Weight Is a Key to Health

By Herman N. Bundesen, M. 0 NEARLY all of utt like to watch our weight, not merely a« a matter of lerioaity but as an index of health; and it la true that either a sudden gain or a audden loan In weight may hate medical significance. Weigh! !<>•• is aasociated especially with ailments affecting the stomach and bowel, and recent analyse* of the case record* of some 227 patients show that it ver> often indicates the present e of organic trouble somewhere in the digestive tract. Young people included in the study showed no weight loss. Most patients under the age of 2'>. who complained of gastro - intestinal troubles did not have any organh disease; that is. there was nothing actually amiss with the tissues of the stomach and bowel though for one reason or another, they did not function Just as they should After the age of <O. weight loss in practically all instances meant organic trouble in patients of this *ge. organic change* are very likely to be at the root of this type of ailment whether or not there is weight lose Between the ages of 21 and Sb the age group which applied to most of the patients studied -ths cause of weight loss was less definite When no weight loss occurred. there was a ebaaee that the trouble was functional Ta the preaome of weight loss, bowever, the probabilit.' of organic di» turbaaee was greater. Ths grgdy thoaed that tor every petieat had lost weigh’ iruw *

and his strenuous work no doubt made inro<ds on his health His fine personality and splendid character built for him a wide acquaintanceship during his less than t ten year's residence in Berne. We extend Jpartfelt sympathies to the 1 members of the physician’s family. » 0 For several hours Saturdaymorning a continual line of automobiles passed through Decatur over U. S. highway 33 enroute to South Bend for the Notre DamePurdue football game. Many stopped for breakfast. With ideal wea ther. fans had a great day in the stadiums throughout the country rooting for their favorites, as the 194. H college football season got underway. For America at its best, see one of the colorful gridiron contests in one of the great stadiums in the country

, o o Americans who think hospital* and medicines expensive should I go to Hyderabad. India, in the L'nani hospital there certain dis eases are treated with a combination of crushed pearls and powder ( ed gold, with a dash of powdered emeralds, rubles, silver, musk and ambergris. A single dose costs $65 A hospital official says. "We our selves cannot always explain why our medicines work, but they have been working for centuries. This , luxury surpasses Cleopatra's fam i ous drink of a pearl dissolved in 1 vinegar. | .o o — Rating Hazards: * < A new method of dealing with 1 traffic law violators in Michigan 1 is beginning to attract national at tention By agreement among local authorities, some thirty cities in the state have adopted a uniform ticket to be handed out by traffic police, which not only describes the violation but also rates it according to the safety hazard it created A common fault with most traffic court procedure is that the resolve it Induces In the mind of the < hast ened motorist Is not to make certain he stops for the next red light, but only to observe more care fully whether there is a policeman around Usually the fact that hie illegal act has imperiled the lives and safety of himself and other persons is impressed not at all on the erring driver. The Michigan development is be Ing examined with Interest by safe ty officials elsewhere. It might prove worth wide adoption, or might suggest yet more effective measures for dealing with traffic law violators. The body of motor ists is so huge that enforcement of traffic laws is an endless task un less there is a better sense of ro sponsibility among drivers than now exists. If more motorists could be made to realise how vital traffic laws are to safety, there would be less need for traffic patrols.

i functional disorder, there were throe with weight loss because of organic trouble. A patient with organic disease such as trouble with the gallbladder or ulcers of the stomach or bowel, need not necessarily lose weight, but the study rwvealed that those with organic disease lost weight twice as often as did those with functional disorders. in this group of patients, the number with cancer was very small; and of those with cancer, the only ones who showed much weight lose were those who had cancer of the stomach. When a person has a complaint involving the stomach, intestines or gallbladder there always I* need for a thorough examination by a | physician, in order to discover not ' only th* location but also the type ' of disorder present. Determining I whether or not the patient ba* lost weight may be of *ome help in the i diagnosis. I Th* study of the patient should i include not only the determination -of weight loss, but also careful 1 X-ray examination of the stomach, t bowel and gallbladder and such laboratory tests as are Indicated.

CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE • AH," SAID SPENCE, "when you’ve been as long in the Force as 1 have, you'll be a leetle s wpicious of anything so convenient aa a smashed watch: It can be genuine—but it's a well-known hoary old trick. Turn the hands of a watch to a time that suits you—smash it—and out with some virtuous alibi. But you don't catch an old bird that way. I’m keeping a very open mind on the subject of the Ume this crime was committed. Medical evidence is: between 8 p. m. and 11 p. m." Sergeant Graves cleared his throat. "Edwards, second gardener at Furrowbank, says he saw David Hunter coming out of a side door there about 7:30. The maids didn't know he was down here. They thought he was up in London with Mrs. Gordon. Shows he was in the neighborhood all right.” “Yes,” said Spence. "I'U be Interested to hear Hunter's own account of his doings.” "Seems like a clear case, sir,” said Graves, looking at the initials on the lighter. "H'm,” said the Superintendent There's still this to account for.” He indicated the lipstick. “It had rolled under the chest of drawers, sir. Might have been there some time."

"I've checked up," said Spence "The last time a woman occupied that room was three weeks ago I know service isn't up to much nowadays - but I still think they run a mop under the furniture once in three weeks. The Stag is kept pretty clean and tidy on the whole." “There’s bcqi no suggestion of a woman being mixed up with Arden." "I know," said the Superintendent “That’s why that lipstick is what I call the unknown quantity." Sergeant Graves refrained from saying "Cherches la fenune.” He had a very good French accent and be knew better than to irritate Superintendent Spence by drawing attention to it Sergeant Graves was a tactful young man. see Superintendent Spence looked up at Shepherd's Court, Mayfair, before stepping inside its agreeable portal Situated modestly in the vicinity of Shepherd's Market it was discreet, expensive and incon■piCUOUA. Inside, Spence’s feet sunk into soft pile carpet there was a velvet covered settee and a jardiniere fun of flowering plants. A small automatic lift faced him. with a flight of stairs at one side of it On the right of the hall was a door marked Office. Spence pushed it open sod went through. He found himself tn a small room with a counter, behind which was a table and a typewriter, and two chairs. One was drawn up to the table, the other, a more decorative one, was set at an angle to the window. There was no one visible. Spying a beU inset on the mahogany counter, Spence press fl it When nothing happened, he pressed it again.

I "And Mr. David Hunter?" 1 “Mr. Hunter's been here, too." “He’s not been away?” "No, sir.” i “Was he here last night?” “Now then,” said the Field Marshal, suddenly becoming aggressive. "What’s all this about? Want to know everyone’s life history?" Silently Spence displayed his warrant card. The Field Marshal was immediately deflated and became co-operative. “Sorry, I’m sure," he said. "Couldn’t tell, could I?” "Now then, was Mr. Hunter here last night?" “Yes, sir, he was. At least to i the best of my belief he was. That is. he didn't say he was going . away.” “Would you know if he was away?”

"But Mrs. Cloade'i flat has its own phene?" "Yes, sir." "And as far as you know they were both here last night?" •That’s right" "What about meals?"

leen," said Hunter. "Sit down. Superintendent. Have a drink?” "No, thank you, Mr. Hunter." Rosalecn had inclined her head slightly. She sat now, her back to the window, her hands clasped tightly on her lap. "Smoke?" David proffered cigarets. Thanks." Spence took a cigaret, waited . . . watched David slide a hand into a pocket, slide it out, frown, look round and pick up a box of matches. He struck one and lit the Superintendent's cigaret "Thank you, sir." “Well," said David, easily, as he lit his own cigareL "What’s wrong at Warmsley Vale? Has our cook been dealing in the Black Market ? She provides ue with wonderful food, and I’ve always wandered if there Was some sinister Story behind iL" "It’S rather more serious than that," said the Superintendent "A man died at the Stag Inn last night Perhaps you saw it in the papers?" David shook his head. "No, I didn’t notice it What about him?" "He didn’t only die. He wan killed. His head was stove in, as

a matter of fact" A half choked exclamation came from Rosaleen when the Superintendent described the murder in Stag Inn. David said quickly: 'Please, Superintendent, don't enlarge on any details. My sister is delicate. She can’t help it, but if you mention blood and horrors she'll probably faint." "Oh I’m sorry," said the Superintendent "But there wasn’t any blood to speak at. It was murder right enough, though." He paused. David's eyebrows went up. He said gently: “You interest me. Where do we come in?** “We hoped you might be able to tell us something about this n-»n, Mr. Hunter." “I?" "You called to see him on Saturday evening last His name —or the name he was registered under —was Enoch Arden.” "Yes, of course. I remember 1 now." David spoke quietly, without embarrassment •Well, Mr. Hunter?" "Well. Superintendent I’m afraid I can't help you. I know next to nothing shout the man " "Was his name really Enoch Arden?" “I should very much doubt it" “Why did you go to see him ?" "Just one of the usual hard luck stories Ho mentioned certain places, war experiences, people—" David shrugged his shoulders. "Just a touch, I'm afraid. The whole thing rather bogus" "Did you give him any money, air?" There was a fractional pauas sad then Davio said; "Just a Aver—for luck. He’d be*n is the war ail right."
