How ever, as Ben Petty, the Purdue engineer pointed out on a visit here, local interest should center on county roads, for these highways are used by farmers and those outside the city, in driving to shopping centers. 0 o Contracts have been awarded at .Marion for a 12 room addition to a school building The general contract, heating, plumbing and electrical installations totaled *288.183 The unusual thing about the hid Is that the total is under the architect’s estimate. The cost figures about *26.000 a room, which also is lower than previous estimates on this kind of construction. The tax rate payable in Decatur next year will soar above *4 on each *IOO of assessed valuation. if tentative levy estimates become final It may require more money these days to run government and operate public institutions, but it should be ascertained definitely, how much the preliminary estimates can be pruned and still permit funds for carrying on these public functions. Taxes can go too high and become a burden, especially for the home owner. o o Ben H. Petty, professor of highway engineering at Purdue University and an authority on road construction, made several apt illustrations concerning road re-

Help for Migraine Headache

By Herman N. Bundesen, M.O. MIGRAINE han often been described as the most terrible of headaches. However this may be. it is certainly one of the most bizarre. Preceded on occasion by mental confusion, often by flashes of light before (he eyes and other disturbances of vision, the attacks are frequently so severe a* to put the patient in bed. The headache itself is usually limited to one side of the head and may be accompanied by sickness at the stomach and vomiting. Many remedies have boon suggested for relieving the acute attack; few have been successful in ail cases. One type of treatment consists In the use of a preparation known a* ergotamine tartrate which can be given either by mouth or injection under the skin. Its action seems to be one of increasing the blood pressure; hence it cannot be used In the treatment of migraine in patients who have high blood pressure or disease affecting th* arteries It also causes some nausea. It has bean found that only about four «•» 10 w “ h migraine obtain relief from ergo teniae. Relief from migraine has be«*n noted following the giving of gkotmic acid, a part of the vitamin Mcotnples. either by injection into a vein or mnscle. It seems that the nicotine acid causes the blood vessels creasing the bloodsuppiy to the various tlMuea. including the brain This treatment has been tried out

pair work in Adams county, in a talk before a local service club. He said. "Adams county has 727 miles of road and if these roads were straightened out into one continuous road, it would reach from Decatur to Montgomery. Ala. Last year *173,*02, an average of *239 per mile, was expended by your county highway department. Exclusive of Sunday and holidays, we have about 300 working days. If we divide *239 by 300 we get the small sum of about 80 cents a day available for each mile of road." Engineer Petty complimented the county commissioners and Phil Sauer, highway superintendent, on the work being dune in this county. "These public officials show a deep interest in the road problem and the highway system is well operated," he commented. o o— — A movie of unusual merit. "The Prince of Peace,” will be shown at the Adams Theater, Sunday. Monday and Tuesday. Produced in color, the picture is a story of the life of Jesus, built around the Lawton story, which has for its background and inspiration, the staging of the world famous Easter pageant by the Ref. A. Mark Wallock at Lawton. Okla. With a religious theme for its foundation, the picture is nonsectarian and is highly endorsed by members of all faiths. So that there is no interrpution in story continuity, the theater announces that only one show will be given each evening, beginning at 8 o’clock Two matinees arc billed for Sunday afternoon and one each on Monday and Tuesday. in producing “the Prince of Peace," augmented with music and singing that seems to come from the heavens. Hollywood has come up with ojne of the most in spiring pictures ever filmed. Decatur is fortunate to have such a classic brought to its front door and movie goers will no doubt thrill in seeing the highly com mendable version of the "Greatest story ever told." —o o— — Dollar Day: The popularity of last spring's city wide Dollar Day Sale has prompted Decatur merchants to repeat the bargain day feast next Wednesday. Today s issue of this newspaper contains an entire section of Dollar Day offerings by Decatur stores. The bargains are available on Wednesday only. The thrifty shopper will be quick to recognise the extraordinary values awaiting those who visit the local shopping district. Merchant and clerk are ready to serve you. Yes, It’s DOLLAR DAY in Decatur next Wednesday, so come early and take advantage of the bargains Your Dollar will bring you an extra dividend if invested in Dollar Day Merchandise.

on a group of IS patients. Enough nicotine acid was given by Injection into a vein to produce a flush that lasted a minimum of IS minutes. It was found that this treatment relieved the headaches in 13 of the IS patients. A total of 31 treatments with the nicotine acid was given to the IS patients, that is. it was used in several instances in each case. In 27 of the 31 Instances the headache disappeared. In three cases the migraine, although not cured, was improved sufficiently so that it was felt that the nlcptinlc acid could be employed with advantage in future attacks. In two cases the headache disappeared but returned within two hours, and when the treatment was repeated in one case it was not effective. Patients evidently do not develop a tolerance to the preparation. that is. they do not become less susceptible to its action, because It has been readministered repeatedly to seven of 12 patients and no Increased dosage was found necessary to give relief from the headache. Os course, such treatment must be carried out by the doctor who will decide In which cases of migraine it may be successfully employed QUESTION* ANO ANSWKR* A Reader: Can a person in good health have streptoccus vtridans germs la his throat?

CHAPTER FORTY-TWO KIT WALKED up the road ■lowly and deliberately, each step a second in time she had allowed herself to reach her destination. Last night at thia time, she thought, I was waiting for him. He had Just boarded the train. She talked to reassure herself for it was not reason that had led her on irresistibly, but instinct, until now she found herself in Furse’s driveway. Like all farmhouses the front of the house looked uninhabited. The activity was all beyond. Kit, one hand clenched nervously in her pocket, sauntered around to the back shed. "I don't know why the little buff cow don’t give more at night," ■he heard Piny's worried mumble behind the shed door. "It's just the way she goes sometimes—skittcry.'" "There must be some reason for P The calfs over two weeks," Furse was talking. "It’s the feed." Furse stepped out of the shed. Under his worn leather Jacket, he wore a plaid shirt open at the neck. He was thinking that Piny always had to have soma trouble U keep going. Then he saw Kit a'.d gave an cxclar-atlon of surprise. "Hello, I was Just walking by," she said lamely. . "Come in," he invited, opening the kitchen door. "I guess it's respectable enough.** The kitchen was clean but disorderly. Furse washed his hands at the tap with a bar of yellow soap while Kit walked around the room as if she had never been in it before. “That's such a wonderful view from the sink—it must be fun to work here. But you never do, do you? I’oldi does, doesn't she?" He noticed the nervous excitement behind her words and then something struck him. "You found Marvell at home last night, didn't you?" . "Yes, yk I did,", she answered in a low voice. He made her feel like a child, somehow, with his worried questioning. He turned toward her as he dried his hands. She looked so young and vulnerable that be wanted to put his hands around her without asking anything more. “It's kind of damp," he said. "I’ll light a fire in the ether room." "Oh. I can’t stay long," she protested hastily, following him into the deserted, dusty room. Poldi wasn’t much of a housekeeper, she thought automatically, looking at the unemptied ash trays and the littered fireplace. Now that she was here, she had nothing to say. Shivering a little, she watched him put paper to kindling. She thought desperately it would take more alchemy than she possessed to make him see her as she saw him As she rem<..-ibered their brief encounter yesterday, it had been intimate and exhilarating. Hadn't it given her wings on her feet to ■peed her down the lane and beyond to the brook? The fire crackled merrily. "How about some homemade wine? it's weak." She smiled her acceptance. Perhaps the wme would help. If only she could find a crack somewhere to begin. He was friandiy. but aloof, almost as inapproachable as

he had been the first time she had teen him with MarvclL She took a sip of wins. "Have ye* iiUfu the thrush yet?" "Pretty late for them, isn't it?” It had gone much better yesterday when they had talked about the country side, but she couldn't ask him to go for a walk at this hour. The silence was broken by a gulping noise as she drank the wine. Her checks were getting hot Furse held his glass up to the light He wondered how he could put her at case. “Have you any influence with your old friend, Ncdda?" he asked suddenly. Kit leaned forward eagerly. "Maybe. I used to. But it's been so 10ng... and I haven't kept writing to her as I should. Why?” "I’ve made her an offer for the orchards," he said, “and she won’t sell." "But that’s not fair," Kit exploded. "They can't mean much to her now. Why you’ve cared for them and increased their value. They're really yours." "She may have a good reason —like coming back. But I don't want her house or the acre it sits on.'" "If she didn’t want to let them go, she should never have left Colcord." That's true, thought Kit in amazement. If she had wanted the orchards or Marvell, she shouldn't have run away. Now it was too late. Frightened for herself, she cried Impetuously, "I’ll never leave here!” Furse grinned at her. “You’ve got one foot out already. The hell of it is that I hate io make a capital investment like an artesian well on rented property. If she comes back and takes over, it’s time and money sunk in that will depreciate." KJt got up. Nedds had given her a reason •for coming. "I came .to see you about something," she began. Furse noticed the color in her face. She looked relaxed now where before she had been strained. She walked up and down the room as she talked and he never took Ids eyes off her. "You remember the time we discussed the right of way, the time you took me to Uncle Ben’s? I—l want to give you the meadow and the spring outright. I won’t have any use for it—not for a long time, maybe never," her voice dropped for a second and then she lifted it buoyantly again. “You can expand. And there's water enough to spray and fertilize for a hundred farms, Marvell says, if Nedda won't sell now, you can begin there!" She gave him a crooked little smile and when he did not reply, she cried, Toni you want it?" She flung out her hand and he caught it in his. He sensed that it was a gift and fas must not offer to pay her. "Os course 1 want it I need it badly." “I didn't come for nothing, then, did I?" Her eyes cleared m quick relief “In the nick of time." Suddenly it was Just as important to bun. Her eyes were very wide and liquid, her dark red Ups parted slightly. She had never felt so natural, so sure. He drew nearer

till they stood a pace apart and ■he was holding his hand up to her breast. He could feel her whole body in the clasp. Then he put one arm around her tightly, lowered his head and kissed her hard upon the mouth. Then he wrenched away. "Is you wanted?" he asked harshly. He was angry with himself and she knew it She looked at him steadily. "Don't say it," she whispered, “that I’m too young and it's too soon. I know that I have to wait I have something to finish first But it won’t be waiting, Andrew, it will te catching up with you!" She left him so quickly that he could not realize he was alone again. He stared hard at her empty chair as if to bring her back again. But it was not her presence that filled the room. It was Marvell's. He resented him ■nd feared him at the same time. “Nothing happened," he cried ■loud, ‘nothing wilt She'll forget it She's al! nerved up.” But Furse did not believe that, any more than Marvell would believe that it was not Furse who had made it happen. • • • The Boston Playhouse where the performance of Jane Eyre by the Society of Maskers of the Holly lichool was about to begin was Email but perfect in every detail. The mouse-colored velvet stage curtains billowed out, concealing the last minute movements of the over-anxious stagehands. A small stringed orchestra was tuning up with the persistency of hungry humming birds. The audl«nce. shimmering in evening dress, was composed of parents, friends, admirers and Investors in the school. It was known that two Boston papers had sent professional critics, but until the curtain went up they were of little significance. The radium figures on the face of the clock over the exit were dimmed by the lights of the auditorium although Marvell kept tabs on it. constantly checking it with his own watch. Marvell’s eyes now were always on a clock or a calendar. He frowned at the clock, as if by concentration he could hold back the hands should ths curtain he late in rising as it was almost sure tb be. On bls left sat Fanny whose low cut gown and chiffon scarf, glinting earrings and long white gloves reassured him that his own black and whiteness was solid enough, not something dreamed out of those rare occasions, long ago, when he and the Barlows bad attended the theatre or opera Beyong Fanny sat Ben. the attention he gave to the program suggesting that cither he was memorizing the fire exits or chirking the Besting capacity of the theatre. Ben leaned forward and whispered sharply to Marvell, "Who U that fellow who is coming? Is be going to be late?" Fanny replied soothingly for the third time, "Mr. Furse. dear, a neighbor of theirs. He still has ten mtnutes." ’ Ben sank back uneasily. He was one whose contentment never became complete till his row was solidly filled with chest fronts, the earlier before the first line was spoken, the better. (Ta Be Confiaacd; .
