One thing is certain, i the Trumans are not "high hat" > and can take things in stride. o—o The first stage in a come-back I was made this fall by ex-Senator Hpgh B. Mitchell of Washington. Defeated for reelection to the Senate in 1946, he has now been elect-' ed to the House of Representa-, tives. Presumably he hopes that ■ his success may ultimately lead to a return to the Senate, perhaps in 1952, when his opponent’s term I expires. But able men are also! needed in the House. o —o — The county' highway department built a number of miles of blacktop. and macadam roads in the county during the past several months and improved others with stone and grading. It was one of the busiest years ever esperieneed and the work of road repair was carried on as far as funds would

Blaming Excess Weight on "Glands"

By Herman N. Bundesen, M. D. WHEN it comes to health; more people seem to be interested in overweight than in any other health subject. It is interesting to note that people who are overweight usually think that their difficulty is due to some type of glandular distuibance. but careful studies of large groups of overweight individuals I show that in very few instances is ’ the difficulty due to anything other ; than overeating. ’ It is true that overweight may result from some disturbances of the glands of internal secretion, but treatment with gland extract is' only helpful when a deficiency of thyroid secretion is present. In such cases, the giving of thyroid extract under the direction of the physician is of benefit. To ascertain whether or not there is a lack of thyroid secretion. a basal metabolism test is helpful. This simple test is carried out by having the patient breathe into a tank and then measuring the amount of oxygen used up in a given period of time, inthis way is found the rate at which the chemical activities of the bod ygo on. If this test shows that the thyroid gland is function ing normally, treatment of the overweight individual must be carried out by the use od diet alone. Dr. Meta M. Kunde suggests a diet which is high in protein and low in fats, starches and sugars for people who are overweight but' are otherwise not afflicted with certain disorders that require a high carbohydrate diet. For example. she suggests that servings of i aud fowl, with *ll fat .

permit. The receipt of extra money from the cigarette tax and additional distributions of the state gasoline tax made it possible to replace roadbeds that were daub aged during the winter and spring months from the current heavy traffic. Superintendent Phil Sauer and his assistants made the dollars stretch to good advantage in their effort to repair all of the 750 miles of road in the county. The end of the season finds their effort rewarded. * —o—o A mortgage hurtling ceremony Sunday afternoon at the First Christian church corner of Second and Jefferson streets, will highlight a service long anticipated by the congregation, which 24 ' years ago dedicated its new house of worship to the service of God | and Country. It is an accomplish- , ment for a congregation to liqui- | date its debt in a quarter-century. . The building is in excellent shape I and has doubled in value within I that period of time. The memberj ship of the church has grown and j its influence for good has spread widely through the community. ! Organized in 1881, the congregaI tion worshiped in two frame build- . ings before the present more sub- ' stantia] ediice was constructed. To I the zealous pastor, the Rev. E. E. I I Eisenhower and members of his j congregation we extend congratui lations on their spiritual and fin- , ancial successes. o 0 I African Wheat: A strong similarity between the . climatic conditions in Montana and those existing in North Africa have led one expert to believe that the latter area may in time produce i large crops of wheat which can be used to reduce European shortages. Thomas D. Campbell of Hardin, Montana, a former brigadier general in the United States Air Force and owner of a 43,000-acre wheat farm, has flown to North Africa at I the request of the French govern- , ment. He expects to work out plans for state-operated demonstration farms in Morocco, Algiers : and Tunisia, where the natives I may be taught methods of soil l conservation, erosion control, crop rotation and the use of mechanical , aids to farming. It is expected that three years will elapse before reI suits will be appreciable. The primitive methods which ! have been used for thousands of years in growing wheat in North I Africa have sufficed for the local needs of the backward civilization which has for the most part prevailed there. Now. when Europe's needs also might be met in part by African crops, changes must tie made. Modern problems need to I be solved by modern methods.

■ removed, be given in double the ' usual amounts. Eggs are eaten i twice daily. Uncreamed cottage cheese and gelatin are used in the diet because these foods are also rich in the proteins needed for rebuilding the body tissues. Such vegetables as cabbage. I cauliflower, broccoli, brusseis sprouts, spinach, celery, asparagus. 1 string beans, radishes, lettuce and other greens, tomatoes, squash, rhubarb and eggplant, are allowed. Such fruits as grapefruit, I oranges, strawberries, and cranberries are satisfactory. Vinegar and ' saccharine are allowed, but no ' sugar. Dr. Kunde also suggests supplementing the diet with a calcium or lime preparation, known as calcium (prate, which is given together with Vitamin D. Brewers yeast tablets are also taken daily to supply the Vitamin B-complex. Most of the patients treated by her have a craving for starchy foods and sweets. It is important to overcome this craving in order to bring about a successful reduction in weight. This can only be done by using one's will power. With the type of diet Dr. Kunde employs, all of those treated lost weight, aud. in some instances, the weight lost was more than 100 . pounds. In general, weight reduction is best carried out under the directions of a physician. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS F. 3.: What foods contain the most starch? Answer: The foods highest in starch are cereals, potatoes bread aad pastry-

o -o Modern Etiquette By ROBERTA LEE 0 0 Q. When serving tea to guests, should the hostess make it at the table, or should it be prepared in the kitchen? A. If the guests are not too numerous, the tea can be made at the table, and the hostess can ask each guest’s preference as to the strength desired. Q. Do the bride s attendants decide what they will wear at the wed ding? A. No; the bride has this privilege. Q. Is it all right for a girl to manicure her nails or apply makeup in an office? , A. No; the dressing-room is the I proper place for this. In about 1650. tea in England cost from S3O to S6O a pound. i

CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE PEOPLE WERE drifting from cocktails to the dining room. The spectacle of mink coats or sable capes slung across linen-covered shoulders and flannel shirts amused Sam, openly. It was material tor ' him, he said, m contrast to all he had been seeing. How to rough it, u. ten easy lessons. The group broke up, shortly after, and parted at the door of the dimng room, Sam and his friends going to a table reserved for them on the transient side ot the room, and Brad and Gail to their own table by a window that looked across to the mountains. "Sam looks blooming," remarked Brad when their order had been given. He pushed aside the vase oi bright fresh flowers but did not look at her too closely. And then asked, evenly, "Did you mind, very much?” “1 minded," Gail answered candidly, "but why, exactly, 1 don't know. Something about his general attitude. There are times when Sam becomes too jovial and disagreeab.e for endurance." "I overheard what he said to you," Brad told her, “that is, some of it. I couldn't help it.” "I'm sorry," she said. "Please don't be upset. He was just being nasty.” She looked at him and tried to smile. "1 mind more, if you do," she said. He said, "Oddly enough, 1 didn't, except tor you." They saw no more ot Sam that evening, except passing bis table the lifted hand and the crooked, characteristic grin. Mentally, Brad walked cautiously. He had observed a quick disturbance in Gail's face, and had overheard more than he was vzilling to admit It would have given him great pleasure to invite Sam Meredith to step outside under the big burning stars and there to knock him senseless, among the uncomfortable cacti. But Brad was a reasonable man. He was considerably shorter and lighter than Sam, and neither battler nor boxer. But if he had been seven feet high and suitably proportioned he would not have enhanced himself, he felt, tn Gail’s opinion, by such a gesture. Do you knock a man down—provided you can—because your wife was once in love with him ? He repeated the "was" firmly, to himself; or even berause ae is. comprehensibly, still iK Icve with her and due to this condition makes certain observations neither courteous nor kind? That night, while, as she assumed. Brad slept less than an arm's length away, Gail lay wakeful and listened to the coyotes holding their maniacal conversation. sounding forlorn and hysterical She was angry with herself. It was Idiotic to experience excitement, terror even, and both cunoualy pleasurable, because Sam Meredith had made his appearance. Her anger spilled over into a form of illogical exasperation with her husband. He was udsu-

She had worked nerself into quite a tizzy when she recalled her refrigerated remark to Sam. “You're displaying very bad taste,' she said. Now it struck her forcibly that she must have sounded rather like Alexandria. Perhaps you got that way by osmosis? She was thirsty, net mouth dry, and she got up and went quietly into the bathroom. But Brad spoke. "Are you all right, Gail?" “Os course?’ She had Just reached tor a glass and it eluded her fingertips. It was conceivably the last straw, metaphorically speaking. She seized the glass and deliberately flung it . . . It broke and her tension with it and she began to laugh, leaning against the washbasin, catching a glimpse of herself in the mirror, the flushed face, the overbright eyes. And Brad padded in, saying, "What the devil—did you cut your- , self, dear?” “No ... do be careful... you'll walk on the pieces." She added, s “1 broke the darned, thing, it ; slipped from my fingers." She ran I the water, took another glass, and ! drank. Brad put his arm around her. • "Dope," he said, “there’s a thermos by your bed." ; They went back to bed, pausing ’ a moment to watch the moonlight ' flow through the window. Gail ' pulled up her blankets, feeling drowsy and relaxed. What a fool ’ she was. What had she expected . ... or wanted? A scene, the sort * ot routine unpleasantness that ’ might spring from such a situs- ’ ticn? Naturally, she didn’t want 5 scenes, nor unnecessary emotion, ’ nor, she thought, with defiance, * Sam Meredith. 1• • • Upon their return to New York i they went directly to the Spencer . home and slid smoothly into that . plush-lined, polished pigeonhole.

:for Alexandria had not breakfast- ! ed publicly tor a great many years, and the breakfast room was preferable to the dining room, being smaller and uncommonly sunny. Gail could pour the coffee and pass the toast, after Andrews nad 1 departed, and look at Brad, screened behind his newspaper, and feel quite married. But after he had gone to the laboratory, time limped. There was only so much she could do; she couldn't spend all her hours shopping or reading, walking or resting. , Tacitly, Alexandria kept out ot ' her way. They usually lunched together if at home and Gail was free to join her at tea or not. as she pleased. There had t« be one large, elaborate tea in order to present Brad's wife to tils grandmother's friends, and a succession ot small, stately dinner Parties. I Helena Sturm came upon several occasions but not because Alexandria liked ner. She didn't, she couldn't, she said, "share the enthusiasm now current for foreigners, except some of the English," but because Brad was sorry for her and liked having her there. 1 I "She leads a very confined life.” I , he explained to Gail, “works her ; clever head off at the lab. and then i goes home to sit with Ench. He's ; I looked after, daytimes, by an aunt : who has lived here tor many years i . and keeps house for them.” At one such dinner, black tie and a hope that the gentlemen > would not linger too long with the t old port and regrettably new 1 cheese, Helens and Gail found r | themselves talking quietly together 1 after the ladies had withdrawn. I Helena wore a muted-blue dress, t long, giving her deceptive height t Her fair hair was parted in the - middle, and drawn to the nape ot t her neck. She used little makeup, i, except a light lipstick. Gail, trying !, to draw her out. found it difficult Helena' had little interest outside the laboratory except chamber music. She played the cello, she r said, and added that her husband had been a fine amateur musician, both piano and violin. “Especially ’ violin," she said. She added, smokj Ing, "Often we have had a few friends in and Brad comes, and ' plays violin. Rather wetl " She asked, “Do you play at all?" "No," said Gail. "1 wish 1 did." i. She concealed her astonishment v upon learning that Brad played. e and her ignorance. She said. “I . have not been musically educated, j Mrs. Sturm, either as a performer g or as a listener. But 1 like music." a Helena s small pale face became d more animated. She asked. “Then, e you could come to us some eveII ning, It would not too much bore s you?" Her accent became a little t more marked.
