The thing we can’t believe is that a congressman ever tipped a salesmen SSOO for taking his order. o o Thomas L. Hutson of Brazil, will again serve as state labor commissioner, a post he formerly held during Governor Schricker's first term. Hutson is a recognized leader in this field of work and has the respect, both of labor and management. He is well trained for the position and Indiana’s splendid record in labor relations should continue on a high plane under his able leadership. o o Governor-elect Henry Schricker is being commended for the many splendid appointments he has already made, naming men of the highest ability and caliber to direct important state departments. In particular, the appointment of Kenneth M. (Kay) Kunkel of Nashville, formerly of Bluffton, is highly pleasing to friends here and conservationists everywhere. Mr. Kunkel served as assistant commissioner of the department for eight years and his sincerity won for him wide acclaim throughout the state. The state is fortunate in having him direct this vital agency of Indiana government

Disorders From Prolonged Nervous Tension

By Herman N. Bundesen, M. 0. .WE know today that high-strung people are likely to pay a heavy physical toll for their nervous tension. More and more we are finding that diseases which work havoc with bodily tissues have their roots in prolonged over-stim-ulation of one or another of the nervous systems governing the body's actions. Newest of the disorders to be added to this list is pruritus ani. an intense and annoying itching of the skin around the lower opening of the bowel. This is a very common condition and one which has been stubborn to treat and has resisted even surgical methods of controlling it. Most patients with this disorder are emotional and intense. They seem to have a slight leakage of irritating fluid from the lower bowel opening into the surrounding skin. There is also some relaxation of the circular muscle around this opening. It has been suggested that they also suffer from inability to digest starchy foods properly. Be(cause of these facts, treatment was tried much like that used for patients with nervous indigestion., , The patients were given a mixture containing atropine and phenobarbital. which is a sedative or quieting drug, and a substance ywhich aids in the digestion of starchy foods. With this treatment, some measure of relief is obuined. However, it was found that the patients could not take these drugs over a long period of time. Another drug was then added to the mixture This was known as dlphutillt adastciß, a preparation

| Straying Hollywood stars and those who flaunt decency to the winds, may come under a code of ethics, similar to those governing ball players, if a resolution 1 along those lines is adopted by the , high movie moguls. An Indiana theater owner introduced his good • morals resolution before the Allied States Association of Motion Pic- : ture Exhibitors meeting in New Orleans and the theater owners approved it. It’s probably a trait of human nature that too much fame and money splil many a person and from the antics of some of the actors, the country is more or less disgusted with the examples set by them. o o That New Hampshire newspaper publisher who recommended a recount of votes in the recent presidential election, should have in- | eluded more states in his list. It is ; admitted that President Truman’s lead in Illinois, California and Ohio, was not of landslide proportions, but neither was Dewey’s margin any greater in New York. Pennsylvania, New Jersey or Indiana. The election boards in all of the above states were in control of Republicans, so if any advantage was given, Mr. Truman did not receive it. Up to now compilation of returns has been an effort of newspapers and press associa- > tions and the official figures will not be announced until the state electors meet and certify the results. o o Good Fellows: A Good Fellow is a person who wants to help make Christmas cheery for everybody. There are many Good Fellows in Decatur and this year they will • have the opportunity to play Santa I Claus to needy families, who con- !' fronted with the “high cost of 1 living,” might not be able to pro- , I vide gifts for all members of the ( i family. The Delta Theta Tau sorority announces the launching of a . campaign for good, used clothing. . toys, food and cash donations, . which will be distributed to those , -who might otherwise be forgotten . by Santa on Christmas Eve. The Decatur Firemen will be f Santa's helpers in the repair of toys for the children. I Cash donations will also be received by the sorority or if you . wish deposited in the boxes at the r post office, bank or newspaper j office. 1 The slogan for the drive is. "Help us to help others have a 1 Merry Christmas," and that tells I the ’story in a nut shell.

>• which is used in the treatment of R epilepsy. It was found that, through y its action on the nervous system, i- this drug was quite helpful in con I- trolling and often in clearing up k, the itching. e i The mixture of internal drugs '■ I thus was given in the form of a e ; capsule four times a day. Many of e | the patients obtained prompt relief. while in others from six to ? ! eight weeks’ treatment was neces--1 sary before improvement was notf j ed. About one-third of the patients s did not benefit by the treatment. ( A variation in the type of preparation used was necessary in these persons. In some, the other prepr arations used in the treatment of epilepsy, such as glutamic acid or , tridione, were tried. Others were ‘ treated with drugs which are helpful for allergy, such as benadryl ' or pyrihenzamine. Some patients responded to the treatment only , when they were given alkaline sub- ( stances, such as baking soda. The patients most difficult to treat were those who are most emotional. The women outnumber ed the men in this respect. A severe nervous upset usually preceded the onset of the itching or recurrences of the disorder. In addition to tbe treatment with the drugs, it is important to keep the affected area clean, not only with soap and water but, with mineral oil or petrolatum applied at night. Local applications of paindeadening substances may help. If there is a cracking of the skin •re*, it may be treated by the physician with the application ot a silver aitate sjluticn.

Gail, at her desk, dialed Brad's private number at the laboratory. His secretary, an efficient, discreel man, not young, answered, and she asked, "Is Mr. Spencer tree to come to the telephone, Mr. Jonas ? This is Mrs. Spencer." “I'm sorry," said Jonas, "but he went out over an hour ago ano has not returned, Mrs. Spencer." "It’s terribly important," she said. "Is there any way 1 can reach him?" "1 hope no one is ill," he began, the urgency m her voice disturued turn, but she said quickly, "No ... it's not that." He speculated briefly, wondering, as ne answered, "Mr. Spencer went to the Sturm apartment, Dr. Sturm isn't in the laboratory today. Her husband is UL She telephoned alter lunch and Mr. Spencer went as soon as be could, to see it be could be ox assistance. Have you the Sturm numoer? 11 not, I’U give it to you.” "Never mind,” Gail said, "but It he telephones or returns, will you ask him to call me? . . . Thank you, Mr. Jonas." She hung up and sat there, shivering despite the warmth ot the room, arawing idle circles on the tresh blotter with her pen. You weren't supposed to teel as she did. Honor l/iy lather ... but how could you honor a man whose hie was built upon dishonor, who had darkened her formative years with the shadow ot her mother's gnei and disillusion? Blood was not thicker than water, she thought, the water under the bridge. If be had come to her ui, beaten, exhibiting the slightest penitence, she would, she assured hersell, be certain lo experience the warmer impulse ot pity, beyond what would nave seemed mere obligation. But ner father appeared m good health, was not defeated, and sne was certain, regreUed nothing. He was, in short, a cool and dangerous man. She went to the dressing room, to rearrange hex hair, to employ a little rouge, which she seldom used, and to redden ter lipa She was making excuses not to go downstairs, and knew her own cowardice. What were they saying to each other? What was Alexandria thinking? • • • Alexandria, erect in a straight chair, was thinking that every step counted, the last as well as the first And the initial conventional fencing was almost over, a brittle, tentative clashing, very courteous. Rogen brought It to a conclusion, no Mood drawn. He disliked wasting Line, in certain circumstance!; and judged that he need not waste it with this integrated old woman. He said, “You must wonder why I havs reappeared. Mrs. Spencer?" “Not at all" she denied sweetly.

A. “May you have many, many years of happiness.” “I wish both of you all the happiness in the world.” “Good luck and God bless you.” Q.

i"l quite understand your anxiety to see Gail again." "I’m afraid you do,” he agreed, with a consciously rueful smile, and she thought, He has charm; he has been educated In many schools, some conventional. He has—an air. There is good blood here, sne decided further, all the more dangerous in a bad man. She said briskly, “The amenities can be dropped. The facts, are clear. I’ll state them briefly. You left Gail and your wife when Gail was a child. Since then you have evinced no interest in their welfare, or circumstances, until recently, when, 1 assume, you learned that your daughter had married my grandson.” “That is substantially correct," he agreed, with insolent admiration, "and, it I may use a vulgar phrase, Gail has done very well for herself, I am happy to say.” “Extremely well," conceded Alexandria mildly, "as my grandson is an exceptionally fine person: intelligent, sound, and 1 may add, realistic." “Indeed? How gratifying," he murmured, and went on, “1 was astonished to learn from Gail that her husband had tried to trace me. Had I been in her position, I would have concealed the existence of so unsatisfactory a parent" "Gail is very honest," said Mrs. Spencer: “moreover, she was not certain that you did exist" “‘"Tis true, Tis pity: and pity 'tis 'tis true,’ ” quoted Mr. Rogers) “How I managed to survive, I don’t know; nor why. Perhaps tor this agreeable moment? Has Gail told you anything about me, Mrs. Spencer?" "Nothing," apswered Alexandria pleasantly, "that would lead me to believe your survival desirable.? "I admire your frankness. 1 meant, however, did she tell you anything of my antecedents? Come to think of it, she probably knowi i very little. My grandfather was an Englishman, one ot a large family, land poor, with a good name and little else. An unfortunate younger son, he came to the States while his brothers entered the , usual professions, army, navy and the church. He settled in Boston, married a distant connection, with some means, and prospered. My i father, an only child, attended i Harvard university. Upon his grtid- ; uation, he did not see eye to eye with my grandfather. He had no interest in the family business, which was merchandising. This was clairvoyant of him, as the i business was badly hit by the i panic of ninety-three, never recovl ered, and vanished in the year I , was born. Meantime, my father had gone west where be married a beautiful, unsuitable young womI an, his landlady’s niece.

But that wouldn't read well either, would it?” Andrews interrupted, bearing tea, and Rogers relaxed. “It’s been a long time,” he said, observing the silver, "this is very pleasant," i Alexandria asked how he preferred ius tea.
