A Condition That Mim

By Herman N. Bundssen, M. 0. PREVALENT as It in. sinus trouble la often more imaginary than real, particularly among people suffering from the condition known a» postnaaal drip. In thia disorder there ia a draining of aecrMiuna from the none to the throat, together with some coughing People who eiperlence thia unpleaaant sensation are very likely to believe that sinus infection la at the root of their trouble, whereas an examination would ahow that the sinuses are perfectly clear The real < suae of postnatal drip, according to Dr. Joseph Htamm of New Orleans. ia diaturbed function of the nase. which ordinarily conditions the Inhaled air by warming, moistening and rleanalng it The mine must also cleanse itaelf of the dirt and dust extracted from the air. Thus, excessive mucus to-med in the none may be merely a protective activity There are. however, a number of conditions which may contribute to abnormal fur>< Honing of tbe nose Home persons, for example, may be oversensitive to certain dusts or pollens which cause excessive mucous secretion Remaining tn surroundings which are too dry or too hot may also produce excessive secretions in tbe nose Many persons get into tbe habil of using certain nose drops over prolonged peno-te too mty u» |:rgal trues of tbs Mas

ee Poor Russians: h The Russians have no silly sead sons, no free political campaigns “ The bosses in the Politburo are e serious-minded guys, who take life hard all the year around They and their people have no period of » general let-down when summer a isn't quite over and autumn isn't n quite here, and everyone's on a vacation or going or telling everyn one they can't go this year, but, boy. next yea *' More important still is the quad '* rennial political campaign.

CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT "WHY SHOULD David kill Underbuy?" asked Lynn. "My God. Lynn, can you ask?” said Rowley. "I've Just told you! Underhay'a being alive means that we get Gordon's money! Anyway, Underhay was blackmailing him." Ah, that fell more into the pattern. David might kill a blackmailer—in fact, wasn't it just the way he would deal with a blackmailer? Yes, it all fell into pattern. David a haste, lus excitement —his fierce, almost angry, love making. And, later, his renouncement of her. "I'd better dear out. . . ." Yes, it fitted. From a iong way away, she heard Rowley's voice asking; "What's the matter, Lynn? Arc you feeling all right?" “Yes, of course.” “Well, for Heaven's sake, don't look so glum." He turned, looking down the hillside to Long Willows. "Thank goodness, we can have the place smartened up a bit nowget some labor-saving gadgets put m—make it right for you. 1 don’t want you to pig IL Lynn.” That was to be her home—that house. Her home with Rowley.... And one morning at eight o'clock David would swing by the neck till he was dead. . . . • • • With a pale determined face and watchful eyes, David had tus hands on Rosaleen'* shoulders. "It will be all right, I'm telling you, it will be all right But you must keep your head and do exactly as 1 tell you.” "And if they take you away? You said that! You did say that they might take you away.” "It's a possibility, yes. But it won't be for long. Not if you keep your head.” -I'll do what you tell me, David." •There's the girl! AU you have to do, Rosaleen, is to stick to your story Hold to it that the dead man is not your husband, Robert Underhay." ‘They'll trap me into saying things 1 don t mean." "No—they won't. It's all right, 1 tell you." "No, it's wrong—it's been wrong all along. Taking money that doesn't belong to us. I tie awake nights thinking of it, David. Taking what doesn't belong to us. God ta punishing us for our wickedness." He looked at her, frowning, She was cracking—yea, definitely she was cracking. There had always been that religious streak. Her ronsriearie had never been quite stilled. Now, unless ho was extremely lucky, she'd break down completely. Welt, there was only one thing to be done. "Listen, Rosaleen." he said gently.

couldn't— ■ "There’s only one person who can hang me—that's you. If you once admit, by look or sign or word, that the dead man might be Underhay, you put the rope round my neck! Do you understand that?” Yes, that had got home. She gazed at him with wide, horrified eyes. "I'm so stupid, David." "No, you're noL In any case, you haven't got to be clever. You'll have to swear solemnly that the dead man is not your husband. You can do that?” She nodded. "Look stupid if you like. Look as if yeu don't understand quite what they're asking you.

Lewis is due to get a whopping salary boost from the 40th convention of the United Mine workers opening tomorrow In Cincinnati. He and other international officials were voted a cost-of-living increase two years ago in Atlantic City. N. J. at the time, it was slip ulated that a permanent salary boost should be provided at tbe 1948 constitutional convention. Lewis and the union have kept silent on whether cost-of-living boosts have been accepted since 1946. The proposals before that convention two years ago would! have doubled the president’s >25,ooii a year, and would have made | Lewis one of the highest salaried labor u’jion officials In the country. ; The miners could make a good ( case for doubling their chief's sal . ary. In the four wage contracts negotiated since their last constitu- ( tional convention in Cincinnati in ( 1944. the basic daily wage of the . coal miner has jumped from >7 to >14.05. in addition, the union lias a welfare and retirement fund into 1 which operators pay 20 cents a ton on all coal mined, for pensions and ■ welfare benefits. Each miner now 1 receives a 1100 annual vacation pay it.ent also. The welfare fund alone is raising >100.000,000 a year for distribution I to disabled and pensioned miners I The convention is expected to I urge a reduction in the retirement I age from 62 years after 20 years' service Lewis favored 60 years in I his original 62 years to end the I long strike last spring | Trade In a Good Town — Decatur

"You were attending a patient professionally at the Stag, when Gladys Aitkin came to you. What did she say?" “She informed me that the occupant of No. 3 was lying on the floor dead." "In consequence you went up to No. 5?” "I did." "Will you describe what you found there?” Dr. Cloade described. Body of a man ... face downwards ... head injuries . . . back of skull ... fire tonga “You were of opinion that the injuries were inflicted with the tongs in question?” "Some of them unquestionably were." "And that several blows had been struck?" "Yea I did not make a detailed examination as 1 considered that the police should be called before the body was touched or its position altered.” "Very proper. The man was dead?" "Yea He had been dead for some hours.” "How long in your opimoe bad be been dead?” "1 should hesitate to be very definite about that At least eleven hours—quite possibly thirteen or or fourteen—let us say between 7 ;30 and 10:30 p. m. the preceding evening." •Thank you. Dr. Cloade.” Then came the police surgeon — giving a full and technical description of the wounds There was an abrasion and swelling on the lower J* w and five or six blows had been struck on the hae of the skull, some of which ha I been delivered after death.
