He is risen! o o Joy to the world! • o o A joyful Easter to you! o o The difference between a word war and another world conflict is just plain I. o o Brightening Easter joy for the children, will be the party at the Elk's home Sunday afternoon. Easter baskets and other gifts will be distributed by the lodge members to children of all ages and the committee invites them to be their guests. o o Two Republican senators hurled a silly charge at President Truman to the effect that the chief executive is trying to create a deficit in the federal budget. As common as Mr. Truman is, the country knows that he has worries of his own in budget balancing and a thrifty eye toward federal expenditures. o o Decatur friends note with pleasure the promotions that have come to Carl J. Klepper and A. J. "Felix" Graber, of Cloverleaf Creameries, Inc., former residents of this city. Both men are leaders in the dairy industry and are widely known for their community leadership and business success. • 0 0 The freest thing in the world is air, and next to it water. At least so Americans have been brought up to suppose. Now it begins to appear that part of our heritage may be dropping from our grasp. Pure drinking water, instead of being available everywhere, will be at a premium before long, says M. Allen Pond, sanitary engineer of the United States Public Health Service. The trouble is being brought on by pollution of natural waters. Another reason is the growth of population and industry, while the supply of pure water remains at a standstill. Occasionally, in cities where the waterworks have broken down, the sight has been seen of wagons with signs an-

Treating a Peptic Ulcer Case

By Herman N. Bundesen M. D. Many different types of treatment have been employed for what is known as peptic ulcer, that is ulcer of the first part of the intestines or duodenum. Just why these j ulcers occur has not been definite- j ly determined. It is thought, how-' ever, that they tend to develop in ' those with certain types of physical | ■ makeup, many such persons being ' nervous or high strung. For years, the treatment of ul- ’ cers has consisted of the giving of j milk* and cream, with alkaline substances. such as baking soda. More recently, however, ulcers have been treated with amino acids, i these being the substances which - make up proteins and found in such 1 ’ foods as meat, milk and eggs. Recently a study was made of S 3. | patients with these ulcers For tlr I first ten days they were given a diet made up exclusively of milk, plus the amina acids which were i administered every two hours in ' the dose prescribed by the doctor During the next 20 days, the pat-' ients were given a more ample diet, were fed every 2H hours, and received five teaspoonfuls of the' amino acids each day. After this time, the patients were allowed to I eat any foods they desired, with the exception of highly-seasomd foods, spices, and rough or bulky . foods. ' During the period of treatment the patients continued with their work, but were told lowest as muc.> •> politic.

nouncing "Water For Sale.’’ Will this spectacle became common 'over the country? Or shall we have sense enough, to safeguard oar water supply? o o Many years ago the state of Lakhtar in India levied a special tax for the support of the state elephant. The elephant later died, the tax remained. The neighboring state of Sayla had collected an elephant tax for 50 .years after its state elephant died. In the setting up of the Dominion of India, these two ■tates were incorporated in a union with others. There still are no state elephants. But the elephant tax has now been tripled. The political leaders of India may lack experience, but they certainly know the old tricks of taxation. * o o Governor Schricker did not commute Ralph Lobaugh's sentence to life imprisonment, but granted a stay of execution to August 25, and ordered a ' fullscale” investigation of the sensational murder case. State police vyill enter the investigation and Mr. Schricker has indicated that he may grant another stay if evidence is not uncovered proving that the former Kokomo factory worker is guilty of the murder. to which he first confessed and later denied. No executive wants to take the chance of or dcr ig an execution, if in doubt as to the criminal's guilt. L> baugu may be guilty, but so tar he has created a doubt in the mind of the courts and attorneys involved in the case. O Q Easter: The Gospel by St. Mark gives the Christian world the story of the Resurrection: And in the end of the sabbath, when it began to dawn towards the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary, to see the sepulchre. And behold there was a great earthquake. For an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and coming rolled back the stone, and sat upon it. And His countenance was as lightning and His rainment as snow. And for fear of Him, the guards were struck with terror, and became as dead men. And the angel answering, said to the women: Fear not you; for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. He is not here, for He is risen, as He said. Come, and see the place where the Lord was laid. And going quickly, tell ye His disciples that He is risen; and behold He will go before you into Galilee; there you shall see Him. Lo, I have foretold it to you. Mark 28; 1-8.

In 19 of the 23 patients studied, the symptoms were completely relieved. There was a slight improvement in one case, with no benefit in three others. In those patients j who were benefited, the symptoms. , as a rule, disappeared within 24 ■ hours. Treatment with amino acids is ; helpful in cases of peptic ulcer, but these acids do not seem to keep the ulcers from recurring. There is no evidence indicating 1 that there is a deficiency of pro- . tein in the bodies of patients with ■ peptic ulcer. Nevertheless, the ami ino acids seem to lie of help. The results obtained with the treatment stated above are about I like those secured with other forms i of milk diets. However, the treati meat above-mentioned has the ad- ' vantage of allowing the patient to ; continue at work during the treatment. 1 This form of treatment may be especially helpful before operation, since It tends to improve the patient's general condition. i QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS 1 F.’L: I have swelling of the abI domen in the morning, as well as i cramps.

CHAPTER THIRTY-SEVEN •‘LUCKY, where do you get saying 1 was lucky, Sandy McGregor ? , I pick up a revolver I’ve never seen before and I’m kept in this stinking hole being third-degreed into confessing that I know where I it came from. I say again 1 never ■ had seen that vicious thing on the j desk before." Stella’s angry tor--1 rent of words might have been I the harmless buzzing of a fly for j : all ttie notice McGregor took of it. i "Professor, you escorted Missj ( ' Dane to the Country Club last cve- ; ning to dine and dance?” "I did.” | “She declares you left her at the , front door before she entered the , house.” “Right" “She says also, that you and ' she had quarreled.” | "One hundred per cent correct” , "She refuses to tell the cause ' of the quarrel. Are you equally ' 1 sensitive?" Stella Dane started to her feet, j ' sank back into the chair as her i brother tapped warning fingers on 1 her shoulder. She kept her burning eyes on Romney. Was there a touch of fright in their brilliance? “Pm not sensitive about it I’m ready to tell all.” He stretched his mouth in what was intended for a grin but it didn't qualify. “The fireworks started when Miss Dane accused me of having fallen hard for Miss Randall. I—” "Not here, Romney—" "Sit down, Mr. Grant,” McGreg- ' or interrupted Tim’s furious protest “You'll have your chance to talk later. I want to hear the professor’s story without interruption, get it without interruption, Mr. Grant" Deb laid her hand on Tim’s sleeve as he sat down. He caught it and held it tight in his. The contact set her blood tingling, her heart beating like a trip hammer. “Miss Dane had accused you of having fallen hard for Miss Randall." McGregor was on the trail again. “Take it from there, Professor." | “1 admitted that I had. What could she do about it? To hear her tell it she could do a lot But, that wasn’t the entire reason I was off her, Chief.” He paused and leaned forward as if to give what was coming dramatic impact Stella Dane, white-faced, clenched her hands as if ready to tear him to pieces. “I discovered that she was in the pay of Judge Lander at the time of his death." • • • “Why didn’t Sandy McGregor keep on with his cross-examina- ’ tion, Tim?” Deborah asked as they drove away from the Town Hall, i “He is the most maddening person. Why, after Burke Romney 1 had declared that Stelß had been ‘ in the pay of Judge Lander, did I he aay, 'That’ll do for now. You j may all go ? He has the darned- ; est way of scoring a point—like ; the time he flashed Sophy Brandt's orchid—then shutting off the curi rent to leave one gasping with ’ excitement." , That's my reaction too. Then |1 remind myself that The McGreg- ' or is rated one of the keenest officials in the business and cool I down, but 1 admit I'm not hep to his system.” Tonight he reminded me of a circus charioteer, clad in a Roman toga and helmet, holding innumerable white reins to guide his fiery

steeds, Stella, Romney, and the rest ot us representing said steeds. 1 could almost hear the calliope accompaniment ns he raced round and round the sawdust ring. I bit my lips to keep from laughing each time 1 thought of it” “It would be curious if someone driving an old-time horse and buggy with one set of reins beat him to the solution of the shooting, wouldn’t it?” "What do you mean, Tim? Are ■ vou on the trail of the person who did it?" “Keep your seat, Debby, and don't grab my arm again or we’il land against a tree. Can't I have visions that make me grin as well as you?” “You can. Why were we in that smoky police room? Just what did you and I contribute to the unraveling of the plot? Stella resented us. I felt like a butterfly fluttering on a pin when she glared at me.” "Romney’s admission that he had fallen hard for you accounted for that. The green-eyed monster was gnawing at her vitals. It made me see red—" “You’re telling me. You were raring to have it out with him then and there. When you sprang to your feet was a moment to set the cameras rolling. That doesn't mean that I didn't appreciate your fury at having my name dragged into the mess. Whatever the provocation it was a low-down thing for Burke Romney to do.” “I wonder what was back of his statement. I thought he was a good egg, if a little on the poseur side with his hair-raking. He's keen at his job, the number one man in his department Has he been making love to you?” “Depends on what you mean by that old-fashioned ’making love.' “ “Os course you don’t have to answer the question, but I will remind you thpt we, who were staying at Beechcroft that tragic week end, are Involved in a serious situation the solution of which so far is shrouded in a dense fog. Has he been carrying a torch for you?” “Once, he appeared at the island when I was at work in the bungalow, his reception was so frigid he didn't come again. He has been dropping in for tea, has come several times for dinner, I charged, up his presence to a passion for' Stella, who was there usually, until—" “Go on. Until what?" “Until he began to invite me to dine and dance." "Ever been out with him?" “You wouldn’t be qualifying for an 'lnformation Please’ St C, would you, Marine? I have not been out with him. I haven’t time. I do a lot of studying evenings to ’ make up for the hours I spend at i the Island writing—my mistake— I trying to write. If you must know, i his love-making, as you call it, . hasn't been convincing. I felt that > I was not being adored for myself i alone, but because I happened to be Molly Burton Stewart's grandi daughter." "Why shouldn t you be adored i for yourself alone?" “I am fully in accord with your indignant question. Why shouldn t I I? But the fact remains that 1 i see the glint of Molly B.'s gold behind the love light in a man's i eyes when they focus on me." i “Boy, what a hard-boiled viewpoint It's too bad, and you sucn ■ a lovely girl Ooch, that pinch

went right through my coat sleeve. 1 can see you headed straight for a life of single blessedness—it blessedness is the right word. I’ve got an idea. I'll invite poor lonely Deborah to be godmother to one of my children.” "It would be super. I’ll present my silver porringer to the infant 1 have been wondering what 1 would do with it" "To kick through with that sure would be doing handsomely by the kid." "Having settled the question of a godmother for young Grant to our mutual satisfaction let’s tune in on another station. Isn't that the field where we saw the trailer? It’s gone.” "Probably to the village on an errand. As the couple has a baby they couldn't go without the trailer, I suppose. The GI who lives in it has the deep scar of a bum on his right cheek." • Deb remembered Ingrid’s passionate protest against calling on the wife. She hadn’t appeared in the hall for sherry before dinner, had been a little breathless and late when she slipped into her seat at the table. She had offered no explanation. Molly B. had made no comment The man with the scar on his cheek was doubtless the man with whom she had been talking in the cutting garden. Had she told him to leave town? Was a hurried trip to the trailer the answer to her lateness in the dinin.-, room? "Mark Taylor reports that that i same GI is a wizard in applied physica” Tim’s voice brought her . speculations to a full stop. “Docs he check on each stu- ; dent?” “Not only on students but on every mother’s son who lias any- ' thing to do in the building from the highest paid professors and i engineers down the line to the I gatekeepers. He is of enormous ' help to me. HeTs an ace pilot, in : case you're interested." “Do the men like him?" 1 “Very much. Don’t ycu?” i “Yes, but I'm not a scientist or I a would-be. Trying to demonstrate a boy's chemistry set would tie 1 my I.Q. in a hard knot. You’d ■ better consider that before I sign 1 on the dotted line as your secrei tary. When you spoke of Mark I ■ remembered that Clive Warner 1 told me Romney suspected he was r a mystery man." ■ "Now that tiie war is technically over, though it does spurt up in spots like steam through the e thin crust of the Yellowstone, he may have heard that Colonel Mark Taylor was one of the top secret r workers in the amphibious divi- ., Sion at the time when names were t hush-hush. That is all the mysk tery there is about him.” o "This may seem incompetent, t irrelevant, immaterial, as they say - in court, but in between para* ’. graphs of our conversation I've :, been thinking back. Romnev det dared that Stella had been in the f pay of the Judge. 1 believe that o the voice I heard coming from - the gallery bay was Henry Lander's. Her room is beyond mine d and he was occupying one on the third floor in the wing for that r week end, Sarah told me Perhaps t he was threatening her with imi mediate foreclosure ot the rnortd gages on her home if she didn’t s get Ingrid's papers. Follow me?" To the ends of the earth.” ne declared with a fervor that set her n pulses quickstepping. It (To Be Continued)

However, to be wise one must first survey a given situation, secondly collect available facts and thirdly act upon those facts. That is precisely what has been done in the Monroe township school situation. For some 12 years, the appalling conditions existing in our schools have been surveyed, facts have been collected, and now we, the taxpayers, with the best interests of our children and community at stake, are acting. Evidently, the would-fee Solomon, who wrote the forum article of April 13, is definitely unaware of only progressive steps which have been taken to improve our conditions. Not having moved to relieve this acute situation himself, classifies the rest of us taxpayers in his category. He mentioned consulting neutral, experienced, capable and nonpartisan experts to make recommendations. That has been done, recommendations have been made and those of u$ who really want to move forward are acting accordingly. Yes, let’s he perfectly nonest. We are proceeding on' a county-wide basis (rfs our forum writer suggests.) Any or all townships in the county who wish to join with us in this proposed school merger, are at liberty to do so. We welcome all the friends of better schools for our children to join us in this crusade. Our proposed school will be somewhere near the center of the county, thus making it available to all who are interested. I’m wondering, just how many trustees, advisory boards and town-, ships, the forum writer of April 13 has contacted, as to what that particular group desires and |s willing to do. The majority of our county, is not in sympathy with the so called county—unit plan. Why? Simply because they have good school buildings, good schools and by making some repairs and curriculum revisions their schools will last another 40 years, which is the life of an average school building, in the meantime wbat are we here in Kirkland, Washington and Monroe townships to do? Are we still to be the goat? All around we see other children enjoying the privileges which ours too are entitled to have. Are we to wait 40 years, until our babies are middle aged men and then maybe if the wouldbe Solomons agree we can begin to think about it, consult experts, etc., as to a proposed school building proect. Shame! Yes shame, on any such selfish philosophy of life. The time is at hand, now is the time to move forward. Our children, our schools, yes and our community must be protected.
