Does Climate Affect Health?

By Herman N. Sundesen, M.D. b SCARCELY a Say paeans that I do not receive letters from people who hope that a change of climate will improve their health Those suffering from asthma and other dtmwders due to allergy or over sensitivity are especially eager to try a remedy which seems so simple. Perbspa the heat way to answer this somewhat difficult question is io look first at some rather general Considerations. It la perfectly trne that some people do benefit from a milder, drier. or leks changeable climate that tn which they are living. On the other hand, even when Improvement results from a change we are rarely sure just what weather factor may be responsible for It. Changes in temperature, air pressure, altitude and the amount of moisture tn the air may all be factors, but we do not yet have any mean* of estimating their exact relation to various dlaeene conditions When a person with asthma is promptly relieved of his symptoms after a change of climate, the chances are that his improvement is due to the fact that he has broken contact with something to Which ho was sensitive. This may have boon a pollen, dust chemical tatotakce. or almost anything else tn hla former MkvfronmeM. . In ether eases it may he rettef from some nhtvous factor which. In the past, has served to set off Mtacks. V aaattatactory homo <ondltlong may he responsible for lothmattc setae res . hence, change to a new climate and new earroundings enmetimoo eliminates this facte*.

Following the Indiana State Fair, the International Dairy Exposition will be held at the fair grounds in Indianapolis and plans are going forward to make it an outstanding event. The expoel tlon will be held during the week of October 8 Business lead era throughout the country are participating In plans for the great show and It will be of special interest to Hoosiers, since Indiana Is also one of the leading dairy states o —« The city swimming pool will close Sunday for the season. While the polio scare curtailed this summer's attendance to some extent, many children enjoyed the pool’s refreshing waters. From a sanitary point, the city pool with Its filter and water treatment systems, provides a safer place to swim than do the lakes and rivers. Not a single hazard to health was reported from the pool during tbe current season o o — A weakness of the Senate, resulting from Its rigid seniority rules, has been shown again by the experience of John Foster Dulles, the new Republican member from New York His thorough knowledge of international affairs,makes him an ideal candidate for tbe Senate foreign relations committee. There is no vacancy on that committee and seniority rule bars him In favor of other senators who outrank any newcomer. The same rule keeps Dulles off the important appropriations committee. Instead. be is assigned to the committee on the District of Colum bla. The Senate criticises other parts of the government very freely It should modernize its system. o o Within 24 hours after Defense Secretary Johnson announced his military economy program, with the approval of President Truman. senators and congressmen who formerly advocated cuts in the budget, did a Flnlgan by opposing the reductions. They spoke out against firing of clvilians from the military establishment, although a saving of a billion dollars a year might be made. As one political leader commented, "these legislators favor savings and advocate economy, but they don't want the hatchet to be applied in their district ” Secretary Johnson will not be deterred by political pres sure, but will proceed with his program of reducing military overhead

be beneficial only because they | provide him with rest and relaxation. Persons who do not do well in wet. stormy and cold climates naturally improve when they change to an area that Is dry and warm Sometimes, a change of climate may have a had effect In that a person who in sensitive to some pollen may move to a climate where greater amounts of this pollen are present. In many cases of asthma, infection in the lungs is present. A change of climate will not ne-1 cessarily relieve a condition of this type, and treatment with penicillin or a similar preparation is also required In a warm, dry climate. the recurrence of such infection may be less likely. A study of about 150 persons with allergies. such as asthma and year-round hay-fever, has been made. It was shown that about three-fourths were benefited by changing to a warm, dry climate. A change of climate is justified only after the patient has been thoroughly studied and given the advantage of every other type of treatment available It should also be remembered that when a i change of climate is made, .1 period of a year or more may be ne- , cessary before any Improvement , l« anted AUESTIOftt AND ANSWER* I B.

CHAPTER FIVE THE dawning sun, smiling upon a misty world, warmed a pair of muddied, bedraggled, footsore men who kept to the cover of the high ridges ano the brush that dotted this broken land. Ute Kincade and and Bingin’ Sam McAllister had made good their escape from the basin where Tate Strunk’s posse had trapped them. With the riders of the law scattered and led astray by Chip Halliday's wild ride down the slope, the other two fugitives had managed to slip away tn the darkness and the rain. But thia new day found them none too happy over their lot. Bingin' Sam, easing his old carcass down upon a rock, contemplated his worn boots sorrowfully and said, "If I was an octopus, or whatever that critter is that bis a hundred feet, 1 couldn't be more tired. And my stummlck's v onderin* who put a padlock on my mouyi!” Hunger and weariness had only served to accentuate the savagery that was Ute Kincade. Sandpapering his stubbled jaw with his Angers, he said, “Halliday played it smart. He kept a cayuae under him and left us pore fools to do the walkin'.” Anger drew some of the slackness out of Bingin' Sam, but he was too tired to voice bis loyalty to Chip Halliday. Besides, Ma eyes had found something unnoticed before, a patch of green, an alfalfa Aeld, likely, that was faintly visible tn the more open land below them. “Look!” he cried. “Buildmga, beyond that fleM. A ranch!” Ute gave his belt a hitch. "Here’s where we get some breakfast," he announced and began striding down the slope. Another time Bingin’ Sam might have suggested caution, but ins own hunger made an insistent demand. He hobbled along after Kincade, trying hard to keep up with the man. and soon they were upon level ground; but the distance to those straggling buildings was greater than it bad appeared from above. The two began sigsagging from cover to cover, and the sun stead higher when they reached the elfalfa held. A few horses grazed inside a fenced enclosure, and beyond thia there was a small shack with corrals and * .stable flanking it. No smoke apt'rkled from the shack's chimney, and the place bad aa air of de Iswtioa

Carefully skirting ths shack, they found the barn empty. A few half-grown sheets squealed tn a pen, and a hen paraded across the yhrd. leading a brood of chicks behind her. These things spoke of peace and contentment, and Kincade boldly approached the door of the shack, Sam trailing after him, and here they found a note tacked, obviously for the edification of any passing neighbor. It read: GONE TO TUMBLEROCK. BACK LATE TONIGHT. “Now ain’t that just fine," Kincade observed and shouldered into the shack. It was a one-room affair, and of its few crude furnishings, the cooking range won UU'i instant attention. Rummaging around he found bacon and eggs and a full kindling box. and he soon had food on a Are while Bam kept a wary eye at a window. “Relax,” Uta suggested when they sat down at the tabla. "The only thing we’ve got to worry about U some other rancher seeing our smoke and dropping in." Ho Upped his gun significantly. “And that’s no worry. Forget about the poaaa. Either they’re still chasing Halliday, or they've turned back to Deer Lodge.” “Not Tate Strunk,” Sam said. “No, he'll cling to the trail as long as there's any Sign. But those boys of his have probably got their bellyful by now. A few loiterers from Deer Lodge town who thought the chase might be excitin’, a few ranchers who were worried about three jailbirds being on the loose that’s your posse What have they got to gain by wearing out hosses?

Pausing, he regarded McAllister speculatively. ’The Hollidays are well Axed,” Kincade observed. “I’m sUll thinkin’ that escape was mostly engineered from outside the pen, and It takes money to do that You got any!" Sam shrugged. "Me, I only worked for Iron Hat Halliday," he said. “And I just tagged along when Chip got hisself in trouble.’' “It makes no never mind,” Kincade said. ”1 can get money. We can’t be far from Tumblerock town, and I've bees remembering something—something that started coming back to ms when we headed this way.” Kincade began rummaging around the shack, hauling open drawers, peering into cupboards. At last be palmed a deck of cardo with a triumphant grunt This is a bachelor’s layout” he said. "Flggered he’d have cards to pass away the time at solitaire.” Fanning the deck wide, he found the ace of spades, held it aloft for inspection, then tucked it into his shirt pocket. "Here’s my ticket to Seattle," be said exultantly. •‘This little old ace of spades. You don’t savvy, huh! Well, it happens that the bank in Tumblerock will cash this card just like it was a check. All Fve got to do is write down the amount of dinero I want” Sam regarded him queerly. *Tm thfhkin’," the oldster said slowly, ’’that they locked you up in solitary about once too often.” Kincade scowled. “I mind loco, 1 1 eh? WeH batea, and I’ll spin a 1 yarn for you. Ever hear of the old Grasshopper Gulch diggings?" "Sure,” said Sara. “They had k 1 gold strike down there about twen-

CHAPTER SIX -EASY COME: easy go,” Bam suggested as Kincade described the poker pune Gopher Joe had watched. “No: the Jigger that had loot everything took it hard; it was a lot more than a night of cards to him; anybody could see that But there he sat according to Gopher Joe, with his face looking Hke a corpse’s and only his eyes alive, and then he projosed a last gamble. One cut of the cards, and everything he’d lost might be bis again." “But be was broke,” Sam Interjested. “What in tarnation did he have to put up?" “Himself, feller.” "Himself?” That was the deal he made. One cut of the cards. If he won, ho won everything. If he lost, he belonged to the winner, bone and muscle, heart and soul—his man for life. I tell you, old Gopher Joe told it scary; you could just see that smoky room with the lamp still burning, though the sun was beginning to peek in the window. And those two men making that last play. But the loser lost again He cut himself a king of hearts, and you could see the life coming back into his face But the other fellow cut an ace of spades and won himself a man.” “Just like that?’’ "Bo far aa anybody could see. But Gopher Joe had sharper eyes than moot, and be noticed something that escaped the rest of the crowd. The winner drew that ace of spades out of his sleeve before be drew it out of the deck.”

"Gopher Joe called his hand?” i Kincade shrugged. "Gopher was a great gent for mindin' Ms own bustoeos when there was M profl? in Sight No. Gopher kept shut; in fact he forgot an about the matter until several years later when his trail happened to take hiratoTmhbierock. And who should be And but that same gent wbo’d won a fortune aad a man's soul on the turn of a crooked card. Yes, str, that jigger had left Grasshopper Gulch Just after the bubble burst, but he’d left with a sack of money which he’d Invested up here Owned a nice ranch and a town house tn Tumblerock—and a bank.

mountainous arctic seas only a few hundred miles from the Russian naval base of Murmansk last Thursday afternoon. Six of the Tusk's crew were killed in the rescue Worthington said the Cochino sank in 30 minutes after a series of explosions wrecked her battery room while on an arctic patrol with the Tusk. The Tusk immediately threw lines aboard the Cochino and bridged the gap between the bobbing ships with a gangway. One of the Cochlno's crew, civilian radio technician Robert Philo of (776 S. 18th St.) Newark. N. J, was washed overboard and lost while crossing the gangway. Five others of the Cochino's crew were burned in the explosion but only one was reported seriously injured. , The Hammerfest harbormaster said the Norwegian destroyer was tarrying some of the Cochlno's survivors to Tromaoe. Twelve men from the Tusk's crew were swept overboard during the rescue operations and six were lost. Worthington said the other six were rescued from the raging seas

cashier Just looked at him like Gopher was loco, so Gopher says, don’t stand there bug-eyed. If you think this am t a bony Ade check, just call the big boss of this here money corral.' And in comes the big auger hisself, all neat and decked out, and the cashier spills a fast story. Well, according to Gopher Joe, the boss turned the color of wet putty, but when Gopher said, ’Long time since you cut an ace down in Grasshopper Gulch’, the boss turned to tbs cashier and said, 'Pay him’.” Bingin’ Sam whistled softly. "After that, whenever Gopher got short, he cashed hisself aa ace of spadej at the Tumblerock bank. But Gopher was Addle-footed and he Anally blew out of town. Always flggered he'd go back whenever the going got rough, but he was picked up for slow-Mking some cows in the Libby country, tried to shoot his way out, and ended up aa a lifer tn Doer Lodge. And that's the yarn he spun for me while he was coughing out bis life. A bank that cashes aces of

spades! It worked for him. and it’s going to work for me. We’re heading for Tumblerock, pronto.” Easing back in his chair, Singtn' Sam scratched his bald bead, a man visibly impressed. A nightlong poker game with a fortune crossing the tabla A man made desperate by his losses offering himself as the stake for a last cut of the cards. A palmed ace and an uneasy conscience. A bit of blackmail that bad worked for an outlaw now dead. It was fantastic, unbelievable—and therefore likely true. But: “We can't go nosin' into Tumblerock," Bam protested. "Even if Tate Strunk ain’t there, the law's likely got word to be on the lookout for two, three strangers lately missin* tram stony lonesome.” ’ ’That’s where you’re wrong," I Kincade argued. “There's a razor yonder to scrape the fuss off, and clothes to make us look clean. We'll ride into Tumblerock re- • spectable, and we'U blu* 'em by our boldness.
