So far few relatives of the deceased seem to be alarmed. —o —o— — Vivacious Princess Margaret Rose seems to be able to get about on her own charm and determination. She knows her way around and evidently is popular with the people, not letting the royal robes interfere with her lady-like desire to live as an ordinary person, now and then. o o Well fed Americans, as compared to people in other parts of the world, will remain in that category, if the predictions of the Agriculture Department prove true. The outlook is for more meat production next fall and running into 1950, and at a little lower price. Food abundance in this country is one blessing that most of us take for granted. Organized L" 'b» Chamber of Commerce, local merchants will sponsor a Safety Campaign beginning next Monday and running for two weeks. Prizes will be awarded each day for acts of courtesy and safety practices shown by pedestrian and auto driver. Let's all try to make Decatur a city where it’s safe to walk or drive. o o Music by the Indiana University Concert band at the high school auditorium yesterday afternoon thrilled the crowd. The concert was tops in entertainment and the visit of the famous musical organization long will be remembered by music lovers. Albert Sellemeyer. Decatur high school band director, had his big moment when given the opportunity to direct the playing of Sousa's “Stars And Stripes." It was an afternoon filled with sunshine and beautiful music.

Proper Treatment of Gout Is Important

By Herman N. Bundesen, M. 0. THE most important thing to| remember about gout is that in the early stages, proper treatment can prevent Its worst features. If neglected, I! may become a permanently disabling condition. Gout was a familiar disease two centuries ago when it was thought to be one of the penalties of good living and hard drinking. Today, we bare a more correct idea of its nature, suspecting that basically it may be due to the body's failure to utilize certain food substances properly. There is some evidence that the disease tends to run in families. We know that in this disorder there Is inflammation of the joints, an Increase in the amount of uric acid in the blood, and deposits of a chemical known as sodium urate in and around the joints. Gout comes on in attack' with pain in the joints and sometimes slight fever. The joint-atfee'ed areas are usually red and swollen Attacks of gout may be brought! on by a large number of things, such as foods, certain alcobolfc kweraggs. the eating of excessive) •mounts of fats, and surgical op»>i atfcns. Then. too. there are certain drags, such as insulin and liver injectitftis. whfth may cause seiaures., Exposure to cold and dampness are' well-known causes of attacks. Recently. It has been shown that cctisMjvjtv to feeds and pollens cr( allergy su; play * role ■* lbe

Boss Hague’s candidates were defeated in the Jersey City municipal commission election and a young man by the name of Kenny will become mayor of the great industrial city. Hague ruled for 32 years, but the younger element undermined his hold on the people and swept a Freedom Ticket to victory. It was time for the old political boss to retire, so now he can lick his wounds and go on vacation with his nephew, who was defeated for the mayoralty. Running city government should be more than a game of politics. —o —o Diplomats and others speculate on the result from lifting the Berlin blockade, one line of thought clinging to the idea that the water has not been cleared to a great extent. But resumption of normal transportation facilities will be one advantage. Operation of the railroads and use of the highways into the Russian sector of Berlin will reduce the titantic air-lift service, and that will be a saving to Uncle Sam. It the German people had their way, they would like to move the whole bunch of Russians back to the Soviet Union and organize their own government. —o —o J. Edgar Hoover has concluded 25 years of government service. He has been a wonderful public servant and under his direction the FBI has been developed into a strong arm of the government. Up until a few months ago Mr. Hoover received only slo,oo# a year from the government and probably could have earned ten times that amount in private industry. Congress has voted to establish a model school for rejected boys outside of Washington in honor of Mr. Hoover, for his work among boys has been one of his greatest achievements. Few men ever have attained public esteem as has Mr. Hoover for his quarter-century of outstanding government service. He is worthy of a national salute. —o o The beguiling of health for the people is health among children, says Dr. John P. Hubbard, of Children's Hospital, Philadelphia, a noted pediatrician. This would ■ seem to be. an elementary and obvious statement. But Dr. Hubbard says that more than a third of the children of the nation live in regions where modern preventive attention is not available. Os the other two thirds, a large number receive only such preventive care as is thrust on them in the‘schools. Even so, great strides have been made in a generation. Thirty years ago the annual death rate among children up to four years old was ten in every thousand; today it is only two in every thousand. The emphasis today is on preventing Illness rather than treating it after it occurs.

, velopment of an attack of gout. An >[ acute attack m\y be brought on by • injecting pollen extracts under the i skin, or by giving patients foods to . which they were known to be sen- - sitive. In some of these patients, other i symptoms of allergy develop, such i. as nasal discharge. These patients I were treated by giving them a drug , known as colchicine, which has t been found to aid greatly in relievl ing gout. Also, they are given in- > Jections of epinephrine under the - skin, which tends to relieve the symptoms produced by allergy. It would be a good plan for those • with gftut to have a thorough , study made te determine if they are suffering from an allergy or i oversensltlvity. If they are found so be sensitive to pollens, they could take steps to Ivold contact with them. Os course, if they are sensitive to foods, the foods cans ing the difficulty might be eliminated from the diet These meas ' ures would aid in cutting down the number of gouty attacks.

Homemaking Tips by Anna K. Williams Home Demonstration Agent Meringue For the Pie Meringue has long been a mystery, even to experienced cooks and pie-makers. It may be soft and fluffy as a cloud when the pie goes in the oven, yet quite different when it reaches the dinner table. Familiar troubles are: shrinkage, “weeping” wateriness underneath, stickiness which makes cutting difficult, toughness, and “beading," small moist droplets over the surface. Recent meringue-making studies may help cooks avoid these difficulties. Secrets of fine quality meringue revealed in these tests are: whipping egg whites and sugar to just the right stiffness; placing meringue on a hot filling; baking at 425 F for 4 to 4% minutes. For tender, moist meringue, able to hold its high fluffiness, the right amount of whipping is important. In the tests, best results came from this method. Have the whites at room temperature. Add a pinch of

Then add sugar gradually—2 tablespoons for each white —and continue beating until the meringue is stiff but not dry. Meringues baked on hot fillings THAT TRUTH SERUM DID 1T...
