One of the saddest sights was a highly manicured field with the first sprouts of corn breaking through the ground, whipped to pieces by the cloud burst. —o —o — Opportunity is always prevalent in America! I. S. Savings Bonds have guaranteed cash values, dollar for dollar, plus interest. —o o — Decatur and the north half of the county escaped the tornadoes, but got too much rain. Damage was done to the corn and soybean fields 'and in many cases the crops will have to be replanted. The rain was needed, but not in flood proportions. However, the farmer is not discouraged and being a sturdy type person, with faith in the future who believes that the set-back will be overcome with hard work and a fair break in the weather. —o —o An Indianapolis soft drink concern does business in every foreign country in the world except Russia. Thirsty people in Europe and Asia have learned to drink the American bottled drinks and orders pour in from all parts of the globe. Red pop and orangeade ring a bell with those who never before had the opportunity to hoist a bottle of the sweetened beverage to their lips. It goes to prove that the world 'is an American market for the live-wire manufacturer, even despite competition from the famous Georgia cola dynasty. - —o —o — Because of a "fair trade" law,, cigarette prices will go up next month in Indiana. The report says that the increase is not due to higher manufacturing costs or taxes, but merely following the law which authorizes the Alcoholic Beverage Commission to boost the prices. The Indianapolis Star remarks, "There is considerable doubt about the constitutionality of these so-called “fair trade" laws. Anyone familiar with the Sherman Anti-Trust Act and Clayton Act can see that they violate at least the intent of these laws." The Indiana law has not been tested before the courts, but if the cigarette boost goes into effect some one may contest the legislative act.

Treating Patient With Sprue

By Herman N. Bundesen, M. D. AS long ago as 1880, physicians were familiar with a disease known as sprue, then thought to affect only people living in tropic countries. Today, we realize that this disorder is much more frequent in temperate climates than was formerly believed. When it occurs in babies, as it often does, it is Itnown as Celiac disease. Diarrhea, with the presence of a great deal of digested fat in the bowel movements, is one of the first symptoms of sprue. In addition. there is anemia or lessening of the amount of coloring in the blood, inflammation of the mouth and tongue, and swelling of the tis-, gues. particularly the legs. Later on there may be some damage to the spinal cord, together with symptoms indicating a deficiency of vitamins A. D. and K. and those of the Bcomplex. Naturally, loss of weight and strength is marked. Apparently, in its beginning, sprue is the result of a disturbance in the body's ability to absorb and ( use fat and the essential products, which come from its digestion. There also appears to be a faulty, absorption of the factor which prevents pernicious anemia This, together with the resulting vitamin deficiencies, accounts for most of the symptoms seen in sprue. Uvsr sstrau fce- && curative in sprue because it coa-

James V. Forrestal, the first Secretary of Defense and for nearly ten years an illustrious public servant, cracked under the terrific strain of office and ended his life. He suffered a breakdown a few months ago and was confined to the Naval hospital at Bethesda, Maryland. His untimely death shocked the nation. Mr. Forrestal gave up a rich private business to serve his country and i performed the ultimate in public [ service as assistant secretary of the Navy, then as Secretary and later as head of the gigantic Defense Department. The country mourns his death. ——o o Imitating a person frequently leads to embarrassment, a case in point being a tale published in a current magazine. It goes like this: "President Coolidge once invited some Vermont friends to dine at the White House. They were worried about their table i manners, so decided to do every- I thing Coolidge did. The meal I passed smoothly until coffee was } served and Coolidge poured his into a saucer. The guests followed suit. Then he added sugar and cream. The visitors did likewise. Then Coolidge leaned over and gave his to the cat." o o Control In Germany The advisability of turning the Occupational control of Germany over to civilian authorities was ! discussed at some length last j year and earlier. Now that the ' Berlin blockade problem has been dissolved for the present, the | transfer of authority is to be j made in the United States zone, I perhaps also in the British and French zones. This seems to be the chief significance of the nomination of John J. McCloy to be American high commissioner in Germany. A civilian governor in Germany will be responsible to the secretary of state, while the military governor has been responsible to ‘ the secretary of defense. This , ought to make possible a closer | correlation between diplomatic ' dealings affecting Germany and ■ the actual administration of pol- ' icy in the occupied zone. It cannot be guessed how much of the difficulty in Germany could be blamed on the great distance, to be covered by authority and liaison, between the four military governments and the Council of j Foreign Ministers. That distance j will now be reduced. Civilian government probably I will get a quick and severe trial, , for the troubles in Germany are I by no means over. They are about at the stage in which they were a year ago. as neither the imposition nor the defeat of the blockade solved any of the specific problems. The atmosphere may, however, be a little more clear.

. tains the factor which is necessary < for the absorption and use of the i fatty substances, as well as the : substances which prevent pernicious anemia, and other ‘factors ; which we suspect may be missing i in casts of sprue. Cases of pernicious anemia are i benefited by what is known as folic i acid, a part of the vitamin B-com-piex. Folic acid also hAs a helpful i effect on some of the symptoms of ■ sprue, but it is not the factor which ' regulates fat absorption. Sprue has also been treated by’ : various types of diet, such as the fruit, railk. and meat diets. These give good results because they contain relatively large amounts of the anti-spruc factor, and because they stop fermentation and improve the action of the bowel, plus aiding in better absorption of the anti-sprue factor. In any event, a great deal has been learned about sprue with the prop.’r treatment, it can be rapidly overcome. QUESTIONS ANO ANSWERS J. L: What is the cause of itch . ing piles? Answer: The exact cause of piles or hemorrhoids, which are ed or dilated veins in the lower part of the rectum, is not known occurs because of some inftetwa. often due to a parasite. such as ringworm.

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN 8 LOVE in action, Beatrice i thought as Hilde told ot working j nights as well as days. A faith so passionate that the miracle 1 wrought ot it would surprise ev- 1 i eryone except these two. Hilde said with a soft laugh, t "Other people don’t understand. < Nina said, ’Why don't you divorce s i him? He is a burden to you. You 1 could get another man to take t J care ot you.’ “ She smiled and her 1 dark lashes made shadows on her cheeks. "Divorce Tom? It doesn’t ! make sense!" Beatrice started the car. "You’re 1 coming home with me tonight for 1 dinner. My husband won't be 1 there—there's a meeting he has to 1 attend—so there'll be only you and ■ Marianne and L You can call the 1 restaurant You can surely take I ' off one night." "Oh, no, 1 couldn’t!” Suddenly ' ' she looked incredibly gay. ”1 shouldn’t 1 shouldn't let you make ;me weak. But one night—one ' I night not to work and to visit you. 1 I Yes, 1 will do it" "And there is a Santa Claus, i Hilde." "1 know there is. As long as 1 I live 1 shall believe in the spirit of I Christmas." Beatrice was thankful that Jenny, the long suffering maid m the j Ramey household, opened the door and received Mrs. Ramey's glass- ; es. No, Beatrice said. She could not come in. She had a dinner guest in the car. As she walked down the steps she contemplated Mrs. Ramey's horror were she to hear that Beatrice had her hairdresser to dinner. For Mrs. Ramey gloried in her snobbishness. She had no sympathy for the weak, the humble, the poor. Though professing to be intensely religious, Mrs. Ramey had once told Beatrice that she never prayed. The inference was that God needed Mrs. Ramey. Beatrice drove slowly down her own street savoring the beauty of the first snowfall. The laden branches ot the trees were like great soft white plumes. The snfciller trees were frost-tipped, the frost gleaming in the lights that shone from the windows. Here where the snow would remain pure for a time was quiet and deserted. Hilde spoke. "How lovely it is , here. Is this where you live?" "Yes. The last house is ours, the < stone one." "Yours?” Hilde asked quietly. “It's everyone's, isn't it? I don't know if 1 can tel) you what I mean. It's just that I don’t understand how people can be possesi give about things. Take the tree on your front lawn, for instance. It isn’t really your tree. Trees belong to everyone. We don't own anything, you know, and yet everything is ours to enjoy. When 1 take a walk with Tom and we see a lovely house, I enjoy it as much as the people who live in it And when we take a walk in the ' i country on Sunday, Tom and Tommy and 1, I love the earth I walk over as much as the people who own it It’s just like Tom says that Uie beautiful tilings, the good things ot this world are not privately owned. You don’t have to buy them and pay for them. We are only guests upon the earth, and life is a very precious gift" “Your Tom must be an extraordinary young man. Hilde." “Is it so extraordinary not to want to abuse your natural gifts?" When they went inside, Hilde went to the Ere and held her hands over it Beatrice left her while she went to the kitchen ic

ask Frances if Marianne had come in, and to tell her there was a guest tor dinner. •That child's had her bath and her supper and she's sound asleep,” Frances said. "You should have seen her when she came in. Wet to the skin. 1 got them clothes off her In a hurry and 1 took her supper upstairs to her. And I haven’t heard a peep out ot her since. You won’t be hearin’ nothin' from her the rest of this night.” Hilde had turned around, and she was looking at everything In the room when Beatrice joined her. Most people admired Beatrice's taste in her house, or said they did, but to them it was Beatrice’s house and exclusively hers. It was not so to this tali girl with short soft curls and deep eyes and gentle ways. For to Hilde, for a little while, this room with Its warmth and beauty was hers, too, without malice or envy. It was hers with love,' because love was the last thing she would ever relinquish. She made Beatrice think of Libby who denied love. She made Beatrice think of Mrs. Ramey who had everything except love. It was still early when Hilde said that she must be going home. Since Frances was spending the night as she customarily did in bad weather, Beatrice was free to drive Hilde home. When she stopped her car before a house in a long row of identical, new, small brick houses, Beatrice noted the crisp white ruffled curtains at the window. "Won't you come in and meet Tom?" Hilde asked. "And wake up Tommy? I know children when unexpected guests come in. Only her play in the snow this afternoon put Marianne so soundly to sleep tonight Not this time, Hilde, but another time 1 will come in and meet him. I want to meet your Tom. Thank you for asking me." She saw Hilde run up the steps. She saw the door open and a man eagerly receive his wife in his arms before the door closed. Turning homeward, Beatrice knew ner own spiritual desolation. Entering her own living room again she knew that not only had Porter been here and left, but also that he nad brought a guest—a woman. For two empty glasses sat intimately side by side on a low table, and one ash tray contained two cigarettes with lipstick stains. And neither she nor Hilde had sat on that side of the room nor used that particular table. She had taken the used glasses and the ash tray to the kitchen and was washing them when Porter came in through the kitchen door. He took off his hat and shook the snow from it The cold had touched his face giving It a fine warm color. "I brought Bonnie In for a few minutes," he said. Bonnie—the name afloat T thought you were going to a meeting tonight" Beatrice said. He smiled. "You weren't listening. 1 said 1 was working tonight" "Oh." "Bonnie has been bedeviled by colds. She isn't used to our crazy climate. 1 told her to take our sun tamp to see if that would help. We just stopped in to get it, and then I took her and the sun lamp back to her boarding house. I thought you were in bed until I saw that your car was gone." “I had a guest for dinner and I took her home." She turned toward hue and sard. bail in jest

An idea that may help prevent this is to lay the-link sausage in a cold frying pan, cover and heat slowly, turning them several times with a fork — but don’t pierce them. Cook for ten minutes.

Lift the soup with an outward sweep of the spoon, then take it into the mouth from the side of the spoon, never from the tip. Q. How long should a call of condolence be? A. For the length of time necessary to perform the required duty, i never longer. Q. Where should the address appear on a visiting card? A. The address should appear in the lower lefthand corner of the card, and in smaller type than the' name. Persecution is weakness engendered by fear.

half seriously, T wasn’t aware ; that you were ever concerned for . Miss Perkins' health.” He smiled. "Miss Perkins is : like you, Bee. Sufficient unto her- ’ selt She doesn't need anyone. Bonnie is a girl who needs looking after. She doesn’t think enough about herself." Her thoughts were gathering like storm clouds. She saw him walk past her. When she asked, "Don't you think 1 need you?" her voice was lost in the greater sound coming from the radio—that of the eleven o'clock news broadcast. • • • Porter’s mother and his stepfather came for the holidays. Though Beatrice’s relationship with her mother-in-law had always been a most amiable one, ! the unbridgeable gap ot genera- I tions together with Mrs. Sanger's gentle aloofness and great mod- j esty forbade intimacy. Beatrice had always thought it a pity that Marianne had not had a grandmother whom she could love unreservedly, one who would sew for her dolls, one to whom she could whisper secrets. While Marianne embarrassed Cecily, to Porter's mother the child was such a perfect thing of her kind that Marianne restrained her high spirits and suffered lest she lose her pedestal position in the eyes of her paternal grandmother. Though appearing frail In body, Katharine Sanger's dark eyes behind her pince-nez attested to her unvanished spirit She invariably wore biack with a touch ot soft white about her throat and wrists. . Her hair was cotton-white, short, . and curled close to her small t head. To Beatrice she recalled i i that almost obsolete word—lady. i Her second marriage to Frank I Sanger had been a highly conge- > nial one—Beatrice had never • heard her mother-in-law refer to her husband other than as Mr. 1 . Sanger. They had met in Florida, i and after a courtship that would i have left many a younger man breathless, they had married short•ly alWu. Frank’s children—he had . long been a widower and retired i from business—had married and I settled in places so conveniently > and reputably healthful—Arizona, i New Mexico and California—that i Porter’s mother and his stepfather i suffered the cold of Boston only a • few weeks of the year. 1 Though she had never told any- I ! one, Frank Sanger reminded Bea--1 trice a little of Eddie. For Frame Sanger, too, was short and silvery 5 haired and walked with staccato | 1 steps. Like Eddie, too, he was a • restless little man, eager for new 1 sights and experiences. So much . 1 was he an avowed enemy ot age 1 that it was he who romped with 1 Marianne before the fire, he who took her to the zoo, he who helped ' her build a snowman on the terrace. His devotion to Porter's mother was a touching, tender i thing to see. and to his insatiable restlessness she deferred with a • feminine little laugh. When Bca- • trice and Porter and Marianne had them in Boston before Porter went into the Navy, a woman f ot long acquaintance with the ' Sanger family had told Beatrice i that Frank's first wife had been a ! large blustering person constantly i storming the emotions ot her famt ily with exhortations of being unt failingly right in all things. That 1 observation clarified his overt affection for the dignified little lady t who tightly admitted errors in • judgment. /To Be Continued) —-
