Henry Schricker favors repeal of the 15 cent state property tax rate In view of the huge surplus held In the state treasury, this saving to every taxpayer could easily be tnade. as Mr Schricker explained at a Lawrenceburg itolitical meeting ——O O--The final hearing on local tax rates, payable next year, will not be held until October 25. On that day a representative of the State Board of Tax Commissioners will be at the court house and review the budgets t'ntil the rates receive state approval, the tax duplicate cannot be prepared. o <»

The Indiana State Medical Association is going to make a poll of family doctors in every county in the state and from the list, honor one as the outstanding family doctor. With a national honor already conferred on Dr. Amos Reusser of Berne, the worthy , choice of Family Doctor in Indiana. does not seem difficult. ... o o _ The Communists are making headway in China ami many of the cities In that far off land are now under red control When one reads of tlie hunger and terrible conditions in China and India, the Impression is gained that the people might turn communistic because they haven t anything to lose But. why anyone in the t'nited States would give ear to the communistic doctrine is more than an American can understand Indianapolis newspapers tell of a complaint registered by northaide citizens against the granting of a liquor license by the state Al- , coholic Beverage Commission to a tavern which is moving into the residential distriate irate citizens appeared before the state commission and protested, charg- 1 ing that the commission violated a. 1947 law which restricts taverns in residential areas It would seem that a city of nearly 100.000 would have sufficient business "spots" where taverns could be located other than next to homes.

Dangerous Condition Arises From Blood Clot

By Herman N. Bundenten. M.

The deep veins of the legs are particularly subject to the clotting which brings about tbromboaia or thrombophlebitis In some cases, th* condition la acute or audden accompanied by fever, an increase in the number of white rolls in the blood, and ewelling and tenderness of the ion*. in other instances. It continues over ,fi long period of time with less marked symptoms There is perhaps a slight inc rease in the pulse rate and some soreness and | ■welling. Many methods of treatment for these conditions have been ein ployed. For example, some time ago. the only ireatment used was cotnpldte real for five or ala weeks Such treatment was often followed by permanent swelling of the tissues and |>ersistent pain. X-ray treatment has also been need; and tight bandages and early walking ffc-ileiaa

o 0 The suddenness of the death ol Merle Schnitz came as a shock to his host of friends in this city A faithful railroad employe and splendid citizen, Mr. Schnitz was devoted to his work and family. He had a pleasing disposition and a smile for his friends, all of whom will miss his companionship and daily associations Mr. Schnitz began work as a railroad clerk when he was 18 years old and was identified with the Nickel Plate for the past 30 years. This newspaper ex tends heartfelt sympathy to the Schnitz family.

Today nearly all of these methods have been abandoned in favor of the i anticoagulants Dicumarol seems to be used to , the greatest extent fn carrying out , the treatment, the substance Is given by mouth on the first and second days Thereafter the treat ment is controlled by making tests | of the clotting time of the blood each day tn order to determine whether or not additional treat | ment Is required, for It is Im portant not to allow the clotting ' time to become too prolonged Following the second day. the dose of the preparation is reduced to about one-third of that which was given on the first two days of treatment. If abnormal bleeding should occur as a compllestiort of the treatment. the patient may be given an injection Os whole blood Into a vein, as welt as an injection of Vitamin K. The Injection of Vitamin K may be repeated after twelve hours The patient is kept in bed until the symptoms have disappeared and the blood clotting time has returned to normal Sometimes a bit of the iiurtqrisl I broken off from the blood clot gets | into a lung This is known as a pul i monary embolus. Ruch a condition may threaten life and. when it occurs. heparin should be given immediately by injection into a vein since it produces a more rapid change in the clotting time of the blood than dicumarol In certain types of operation: there may be danger of blood clot formation In such it may be adrtMble to fl.e tfrusarcl as a pre-eutt s

CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE < HERCULE •OIROT carefully ' toided the last ot the newspapers ' he had sent George out to pur- 1 chase. The information they gave ' was somewhat meager. Medical ' evidence was given that the mans 1 skull was fractured by a senes of 1 heavy blown The inquest had been 1 adjourned for a fortnight. Any- 1 body who could give information 1 about a man named Enoch Arden 1 believed to have lately arrived from Capetown was asked to com- 1 municate with the Chief Constable of Oastshire. Poirot laid the papers In a neat 1 pile and gave himself up to meditation. He waa iaUresUu. He 1 might, perhaps, have passed the first small paragraph by without interest If it had not been for the recent visit of Mrs. Lionel Ctoade. But that visit had recalled to him very clearly the incidents of that day at the Club during that Air Raid. He remembered, very distinctly. Major Porter's votee saying, "Maybe a Mr. Enoch Arden will turn up somewhere a thousand miles away and start life anew." He wanted now, rather badly, to know more about this man tailed Enoch Arden who had died by violence* at Warmsley Vale. He remembered that he was slightly acquainted with Superintendent Spence of the Oastahirc Police and he also remembered that young Mellon lived not very far from Warmsley Heath, and that young Mellon knew Jeremy Cloade. Il was while he was meditating a telephone call to young Mellon that George came in and announced that a Mr. Rowley Cloade would like to see him. 1 “Aha," saM Herrtrie Poirot with ' satisfaction. "Show him tn." f A good-looking worried young man was shown in. and seemed r rather at a loas how to begin. “Well. Mr-Cloade." said Poirot . helpfully, “and what can Ido tor i you** Rowley Cloade was eyeing Po<- ' rot rather doubtfuly. The flamboyant mustaches, the sartorial ele--1 gance, the white spats and the i pointed patent leather shoes all - filled this insular young man with i distinct nlagtvtnga. Poirot realised this perfectly well, and was somewhat amused Rowley Cloade began rather ' heavily: * Tm afraid ni have to explain p who lam and all that You wont 1 know my name “ " Poirot Interrupted him: > "But yes.

dropped. He stared at Poirot with utmost astonishment. Thia so clearly was news to turn, that Poirot put aside tils first surmise which was that the two visits were connected. For a moment tt seemed to him a remarkable coincidence that two members of the Cloade family should choose to consult him within such a short period of time, but a second later be realised thM there was no coincidence —merely a natural sequence proceeding from one initial cause. Aloud he aaid: “1 assume that Mrs. Lionel Cloade is your aunt" If anything Rowley looked rather more astonished than before. He said with the utmost incredulity: "Aunt Kathie ? Surely—don’t you mean—Mrs. Jeremy Cloade T" Poirot shook his head. "But what on earth could Aunt Kathie—" Poirot murmured discreetly: "She was directed to me, 1 understand, by spirit guidance." "Oh Lord'” said Rowley. He looked relieved and amused. He said, as though reassuring Poirot, "She's quite harmless, you know." “1 wonder," said PoiroL “What do you mean?" "Is anybody—ever—quite harmless?" Rowley stared. Poirot sighed. “You have come to me to ask me something ?—Yes?” he prompted gently. The worried look came back to Rowley’s face. "It's rather a long story, Tm afraid—" Potrot was afraid of it, too. He had a very shrewd id . that Rowley Cloade was not the sort of person to come to the point quickly. Ee leaned back and half-dosed his eyes as Rowley began: "My uncle, you see, was Gordon cioade -"* “I know all about Gordon Cloade,” said Poirot, helpfully. "Good. Then 1 neednt explain. He married a few weeks before his death—a young widow called Underhay. Since his death she has been living at Warmsley Vale—she and a brother of here. We al! understood that her first husband had died ot fever tn Africa. But now it seems as though that mightn't be so." "Ah," Poirot sat up. "And what has led you to that surmise?" i Rowley described the advent ot . Mr. Enoch Arden tn Warmsley ▼ale. "Perhaps you have seen tn the papers—" "Yes, 1 have sqen.” Poirot was , again helpful Rowley went <*. Re described r M first laapreaatoa of the oua •• ** •••« -** * — ♦-<

Bi-Partisan Groups Destroyed By Gates Commissions Ruled By GOP Chairmen East Chicago. Ind . Sept 30 — (VP) _ Democratic gubernatorial hopeful Henry F. Schricker last night charged governor Gates’ Republican administration with "complete destruction of the bi partisan nature" of the state conservation department and the alcoholic beverage commission Schricker told a first district party rally that the Republicans sponsored legislation in the 19" general assembly that gave GOP chairmen of the two coftimissions two votes Instead of one in case of a deadloc k on an issue Each agency is composed of two Democrats and two Republicans "The net effect of this Republican • sponsored legislation was complete destruction of the bi-parti-san nature of the two commissions." Schricker said. He promised that "we're going to resore the bi-partisan character of these commissions when the Democratic state ticket is elected in November." State Sen. Charles Fleming, speaking on the same program with Schricker. described the 1947 general assembly as "a bunch of trained seals dan<4ng to the music of I governor i Ralph Gates." Fleming, who also is Democratic candidate for secretary of stats, criticized the old age lien law passed hy the state legislature. He said the state “went into the real estate business at the expense of ihe needy people —** "Thrifty people whc reeded help

"Ot course," Rowley said, "one can't be sure just what she did hear. She may bave exaggerated it all a bit—or even got it wrong." "Has she told bcr story to the police?” Rowley nodded. “I told her she'd better." "1 don't quite jee—pardon me—why you com.* to me, Mr. Cloade? Do you want me to investigate this—murder? For it is murder, 1 assume.” "Lord, no," said Rowley. “1 don’t want anything of the kind. That’s a police job. He was bumped off all right No, what I’m after ia thia. I want you to find out who the fellow was.” Poirot's eyes narrowed. “■Who do you think ho was, Mr. Cloade?" "Weil, I mean—Enoch Arden isn't a name. Dash tt all, tt's a quotation. Tennyson. 1 went and iruggcd tt up. Fellow who comes back and finds out his wife has married another fellow." "So you think,“ said Poirot quietly, "that Enoch Arden was Robert Underhay himself?" Rowley said slowly: "Well he might have been—l mean, about the right age and appearance and all that. Os course I've gone over it all with Beatrice again and again. She can’t naturally remember exactly what they both said. The chap said Robert Underhay bad come down in the ' world and was tn bad health and needed money. Well, ne might have been talking about himself, mightn't he? He seems to have 1 said something about it wouldn't suit David Hunter's book if Un--1 derhay turned up In Warmsley Vale—sounding a bit as though he 1 was there under an assumed name."
