Blood Vessel Disorder Plagues Elderly People

By Herman N Bundesen, M. D PEOPLE of advanced age are quite likely to be plagued by disturbance* of the circulation, particularly of that to the legs. Among the most c ommon disorder* are thoee which result from spasm of the arteries or hardening of these important blood vessels. In either of these disorders pain often of an agonising nature-Is the chief symptom Recently a worth while treatment for relief of pain in such case* ha* been developed. It is apparently successful because not only does it relieve the pain, but reaches the very root of the trouble- the dimished blood supply. There is a substance known as histamine which normally may be present in the body in small amounts, and may produce dilation or widening of small blood vessels. It ha* been found that another substance called histidine one of the amino acids that make up proteins will, in contact with ascorbic acid or vitamin C, form histamine Heoee. this mixture has been used in treating patients with blood vessel disorder* In carrying out the treatment, a solution of the histidine and the as-1 corbie acid is mixed In a syringe Then the mixture to injected very alowly into a vein. Twenty patients were treated with this preparation. Four of the patients bad gangrene or death of ffes due blood supply. Tks Bttm

Individuals, business firms and industrial plants prefer this onetime appeal to numerous drives for funds in support of causes to which they wish to contribute. —.o o Besides the enjoyment of friendships and wholesome living which small towns afford, there is another advantage, the National Security Resources Board explains The smaller cities are not apt to be target of atomic bombs. Since A-bombs are exremely expensive. the board believes no lountry will have enough bombs to afford to use one on eash city of 50,000 or less population That suits us to a T. o oRespite From War: , That Russia wfl| not lx abie to make war until IHtio is the encouraging conclusion drawn by Sam Welles, associate editor of Time, in his new book.

"It was ( found on the floor of No. 5. It • had rolled under the chest ot draw- < era and of course just possibly it might have been there sometime. 1 No fingerprints on it. Nowadays. 1 of course, there isn't the range of ' lipsticks there used to be—Just a 1 few standard makes." "And you no doubt have made j your inquiries ?" ( Spence smiled. "Yes" he said, "as you put it. wc have made our inquiries. Rosaleen Cloade uses this type ot lipstick. So does Lynn Marchmont. Frances Cloade uses a more subdued color. Mrs. Lionel Cloade doesn't use lipstick at aIL Mrs Marchmont uses a pale mauve shade. Beatrice Lippincott doesn’t appear to use anything ns expensive as this—nor does the chambermaid. Gladys." He paused. "You have been thorough," said Poirot. “Not thorough enough. It looks now as though an outsider is mixed up in It—some woman, perhaps. that Underhay knew in Warmsley Vale." “And who was with him at a quarter past ten on Tuesday evening?" "Yes," said Spence He added with a sigh. "This lets David Hunter out." "It does?" "Yes. His Lordship has consented to make -a statement at last. After his solicitor had been along to make him see reason. Here’s his account of his own movements.” Poirot read a neat typed memorandum. Left London i:lt train for Warmaley Heath. Arrived there 3:30. Walked to Furroubank by footpath. “His reason for coming down," the Superintendent broke in "was, according to him. to get certain things he'd left behind, letters and papers, a check book, and to see if some shirts had come back from the laundry—which, ot course, they hadn't! My word, laundry's a problem nowadays Four ruddy weeks since they’ve been to our place—not a clean towel left in our house, and the wife washes all my things herself now." After this very human interpolation the Superintendent returned to the itinerary of David's movements. "Left Furrowbank at 1:13 and itatee ha went for a walk aa he had missed the 1:10 tratn and there would be no tram until the “In wt.at direction did he go for a walk?" asked Poirot. The Superintendent consulted I hut notes. "Says by Downs Copse, Bats Hill and Long Ridge." . "In tact, a complete cjcuiar 1 taw round the White House;"

"My word, you pick up local gc- | ogrsphy quickly, M. Poirot!" . Poirot smiled and shook his < head. ' "No, I did not know the places i you named. I was making a I guess.” “Oh you were, were you?" The i Superintendent cocked his head on one side. •Then, according to him. when he was up on Long P.idgc, he real- i ized he was cutting It rather tine and fairly hared it for Warmsley Heath Station, going across country. He caught the train by the skin of his teeth, arrived at Victoria 10:45, walked to Shepherd's Court, arriving there at eleven o'clock, which letter statement is confirmed by Mrs. Gordon Cloade." "And what con.h mation have you of the rest of it?” "Remarkably little—but there is some. Rowley Cloade and others saw him arrive at Warmsley Heath. The maids at Furrowbank were out (he had his own key, of course) so they didn't see him, but they found a cigarct stump in the library which 1 gather intrigued them and also found a good deal ot confusion in the linen cupboard. Then one of the gardeners was there working lateshutting up greenhouses or something and he caught sight of him. Mu» Marchmont met him up by Mardon Wood—when he was running tor the train." "Did anyone see him catch the train?" "No—but he telephoned from London to Miss Marchmont as soon as he got back—at 11:4." "That Is checked?" “Yes, wed already put through an inquiry about calls from that number. There was a Toll call out at 11:4 to Warmsley Vale 34. That's the Marchmont’s number." "Very very interesting," murmured Poirot But Spence was going on painstakingly and methodically. "Rowley Cloade left Arden at ' five minutes to nine. He's quite definite It wasn't earlier. About 9:10 Lynn Marchmont sees Hunter up at Mardon Wood. Granted he's • run all the way from the Stag. 1 would he have had time to meet 1 Arden, quarrel with him. kill him I and get to Mardon Wood?

He was either killed by the woman who droi>ped the lip- ■ stick, the woman in the orange I scarf—or by somebody who came ■ in after that woman left. And whoever did it deliberately put the I hands of the watch back to nine- , ten.” 1 "Which if David Hunter had not r happened to meet Lynn Marchmont in a very unlikely place - would have been remarkably awkward for him?" said Poirot.

Traffic Fatalities Mounting In State Earlier Decrease Being Wiped Out lndlana|M>lis. Oct. 13 (PU) , State police today feared they were fighting a losing battle against mounting Indiana highway fatal! ties. Col. Robert Rossow. superintend ent of the state troopers, said that, although advances had been made in the state to prevent traffic accidents. the death toll was mounting by leaps and bounds Itcasow said a 42 percent Ini crease in the number of persons killed last month boosted the fatal Ity total for the first nine months of the year to 745. He said thia slashed an earlier 17 percent decrease to five percent and added that the 1948 total could exceed last year's at the present accident rate. Rossow said that 354, traffic deaths the last three months of the year would send this year's total to last year's mark of 1.1 <>9 "The decision as to whether In dlana's traffic record improves or becomes worse rests with the people who walk and drive," Rossow I said. 0 . | Household Scrapbook | By ROBERTA LEE ft Restoring Velvet If any portion of a velvet dress is crushed, hold that part over a wide basin of hot water, placing the wrong side next to the water The pile will be restored.

people don't know him by sight. And he didn’t take a taxi the other eno. So we'd only nave ms sister s word for it that he arrived bo-k at Shepherd’s Court when lie said he did." Poirot was silent anl Spence asked: "What arc you thinking about, M. Poirot?” Poirot said. "A long walk round the White House. A meeting in Mardon Woods. A telephone call later. . , . And Lynn Marchmont is engaged to Rowley Cloade . . . 1 should like very much to know what was said over that telephone call." "It's the human Interest that’s getting you?" "Yes." said Poirot. "It is always the human interest." •• • ■ It was getting late, but thc-e was still one more call that Poirot wanted to make. Ht went along to Jeremy Cloade's house. There he was shown into Jeremy Cloade's study by a small intelligent looking maid. Left alone. Poirot gazed interestedly round him. Ab very legal and dry as dust, he thought, even in his home. There war a large portrait ot Gordon Cloade on the desk. Anothei faded one ot Lord Edward Trenton on a horse, end Poirot was examining the latter when Jeremy Cloade came in. "Ah. pardon."

Chestnut Trenton Ran second in the Derby in 1921. Are you interested in racing?" "Alas, no."

Consumers Benefit In Price Supports Programs Encourage Storage Os Surplus Consumers as well as farmers benefit from government price sup port programs, says Winfred L. Gerke. chairman of the Adams county agricultural conservation committee. Price support programs encourage storage of surpluses, says Mr Gerke When there is more wheat corn, oats, or soybeans than can be handled by marketing facilities, a farmer can get a loan and put the surplus in storage The loan pro gram before the war helped to fill the granaries so that bread rationing was not necessary during the war. Now that the granaries have been emptied for war needs and to feed famine stricken people In wardevastated countries, the loan pro gram la helping to fill them up again for use by consumers later >n. By the end of August this year, nearly Dm million bushels of wheat had been placed in storage under loan For consumers, full granaries are the best assurance of enough to eat if lean years should come. • Price supports also help tiie consumer. the chairman points out. by, encouraging an adequate production When farmers are sure they will be protected against ruinous price drops, they follow their i.a tural bent and do everything to pro luce abundantly, the chairman points out. Trice supports coupled with conservation measures prac ticed by farmers made possible the 35 to 40 percent increase in food I production we've had during and ’.ince the war." On the subject of consumer prices, he says, "Certainly prices would not have been lower if less food hau been produced Food Items about which there is the greatest complaint are commodities that are not supported There are no price supports on beef and lambs.” "Farmers must protect their crops by storing them if they are to have the benefit of price supporting loans The loan and purchase agreement programs are an incentive for farmers to produce and to protect what they produce." Mr. Gerke urges farmers who are interested in storing their grain to call at the local AAA office for the full details of the programs. Support prices are not guaranteed unless a purchase agreement has been signed by the farmer who I wishes to store his grain Thief Spoils Picnic Fort Worth, Tex (UP) AnothJ ■i meanest thief candidate is the. one who stole the piggy bank containing 'he pennies children of a kindergarten here saved all year o hold a picnic.
