Citizens are responding to the Emergency Polio Drive and those in charge of the campaign report active participation.

There's no catch to ft, nothing to buy or sell, except the display of a friendly spirit toward neighbor and stranger on the street. Why stop with one week in exchanging a friendly "Hello" as you pass someone on the street? • o o The City Board of Health has ordered a quarantine for dogs, following a reported case of rabies. The health authorities ask the cooperation of dog owners and citizens In general enforcement of the quarantine. Stray dogs have molested several pedestrians and these ownerless canines should be destroyed, before serious injury is inflicted on human beings O' —-o ■ A year ago Roger Babson pre dieted almost dire conditions for the country and expressed the view that business was going to be rotten.

Treating a Peptic Ulcer

By Herman N. Bundesen, MO. THE stomach is so constructed! that under ordinary conditions it : does not digest itself —a rather marvelous arrangement when you| atop to consider that one of its chief functions is the digestion of meat and that its tissue* are constantly bathed in fairly strong acids. Why this is so we just do not know. Sometimes, however, for reasons which are not definitely known, { the stomach does begin to eat a ■way at its own walls. The result j is the formation of peptic ulcers There seem to be two farorite locations for these sores, since they most often occur either in the last part of the stomach or the first part of the small bowel. The occurance of ulcer Is not limited to people of a single age or set. Apparently ulcers most frequently affect active, tense, and high-strung individuals. In most cases, ulcers can Im* treated without operation*, but operation la necessary if the ulcer does not heal with medhal treatment. if there is danger of Its breaking through the bowel wall. J or if It already has ruptured Operation may also be required . If the ulcer interferes with the nor mat action at the stomach, if thenis repeated bleeding, or if there ia some associated dtsturbatn•<•» of the appendix or gallbladder. Sometimes operation may be the quickest way to bring about healing and may in the long run save the patient time, money, and suffering An ulcer of this type causes each symptoms as pain, occurring about one to three hours after incala. The pain is relieved by the taking of food, particularly milk, and an alkaline, such as baking

John L. Lewis insists on "getting In on the act" and is spoiling the show with a threat of another miner's strike. The mines are operating only a tea days a Week and the men may pot return to their jobs next Monday. Apparently if there Is a strike in the coal fields, the steel mills will shut down and then the country may see a million men thrown out of work Since Philip Murray, bead of the Cto and United Steel Workers, announced that he would drop the fight for a fourthround of wage Increases, it is a little puzzling to the average reader why a shut-down should befall the country o o One of the peculiar problems arising from the division of Germany is that of food supply for the West, because the principal agricultural regions are in East ern and Polish territory. When Germany was a national unit the food grown in these regions went to the rest of the nation. but now little of it finds its way across the zonal border. Instead it goes eastward into Russian territory. Authorities seek to make Western Germany self sufficient as far as food supply is concern ed This involves a big job of land reclamation and educating farmers to new crops and methods If the attempt is successful the Germany of the future, whether divided or reunited, will have a different character. —o o New Roads: Within the next twenty years, if Congress agrees with the Bureau of Public Roads, the traveling public will he benefitted by the expenditure of over 11 billion dop lars of federal funds for an improved system of highways Plans have been made by the Bureau and the various state highway commissions to spend that sum and additional state funds for new construction, widening and impraving existing roads, building widening bridges When evJ? W# amount of traffic warrants the expenditure, four-lane divided highways would be constructed. • Speedier driving between and through cities would thus be made possible. More important, the safety of drivers and pedestrians could be greatly Increased The accident rate should be definitely lowered with the construction of every four-lane divided highway. But most drivers have never learned how to use such roads with safety. If a twentyyear program of developing high speed roads should be started, there would need to be a parallel program of teaching drivers bow to run at high speeds.

| soda. There also may be sickness jat thy stomach and vomiting in some cases X-ray examination Is Important In making the diagnosis. ! Medical treatment consists, first of all. in the selection of the cor red diet. This diet should contain all of the necessary food parts and should contain no highly-sea-soned or irritating foods. It is seldom necessary to cut down on the intake of food to any great extent. The set ond part of the treatment is the use of alkaline substances or , other preparations which will eliminate excessive add. Drug* which ' relau spasm or the nervous system also may be employed. Sueh mild disturbances as the common cold or infections of the nose and throat would appear to be contributing causes for the recurrence of ulcer avmptom*. Hence. In the treatment of ulcer patient*, efforts must be made to avoid infection* of thia type; and infections in the teeth, tonsilk, sinuses, and elsewhere in the body should be found and eliminated. The patient should get plenty of rest and should be as free a* possible from ' excessive physical and mental strain. QUESTION* ANO ANSWERS H.M.: Is there any way of getting rid of dandruff? Answer: In the treatment of dandruff, the general health and strength should receive attention. Excessive eating should be avoided The hair should be washed oace a week with warm water and green soap. The night before the hair is washed, an ointment cantatas salicylic acid and sulphur ■ should be rubbed into the scalp Thia should be left In oversight and »Ashed out the neat morning '

CHAPTBR TWENTY THE HORSES unsaddled and i the gear stowed In the wagon, i Hope and Single' Sam bid them- i selves under the tarp, and, with the three horses tied to the tail i gate, < Tup tucked his trousers inside his boots, punched the shape out ot his high-crowned sombrero, ran his hand over his stubbled i chin and picked up the discarded bullwhip. He'd had no experience at bull whacking, but he flicked the whip experimentally and the six yoke ot oxen began plodding forward. Once again they were heading for Forlorn Valley, but though there was an added measure of safety in this new method ot traveling, Chip round the slowness of it s drag upon his nerves Also be had a cowboy's distaste for walking. and sometimes he hoisted himself upon the wagon and carried on low-voiced conversations with Hope and Singin' Sam. It was rough nding for them, he learned; this wagon carried bulky packing cases of various sorts of goods, and the bumpy trail didn't make such a bed comfortable. But that trail was taking them steadily northward and already the shouldering hills were crowding tn closer, the lesser valley pinching together as the trail tilted upward Into the pass. The climbing moon told Chip that it was nearly midnight, and he was striding beside the wagon again when a figure loomed out ot the night At first Chip sup* pored it was the sentry whom the Forlomers kept posted here at the valley's gate, tut there was moonlight enough to Identify this black-garbed man who d appeared, and though Chip had only seen him once before, and briefly, he recognised the man. It was tieton Alessandro, and he said, “Seen anybody on the trail tonight?” Chip was keeping in the shadow cast by the wagon, but with the moon almost directly overhead, that shadow was far too narrow for his liking. 'Hiese bull-whack-ers worked for Seton Alessandro, but doubtless they were independent freighters who took contracts from him; and the chances were that Alessandro didn't know all of them personally. SHU Chip didn't risk speaking, but merely shook his head. Alessandro said. "You’d better move along if you want to get beyond the pass before the moon sets. 1 heard that one of you fellows got bofged down tn Tumblerock. Keep your nose dry the next time you've got a hauling job to do tor me. mister!” He turned to stride away, then paused. “Say. what are you ooing with these horses you've got hitched on behind?” he demanded. Chip said, "Private deal with one of the Forlorners," aad left his sktn begin to crawl. A rrCwn OT IruiOJirice between Alessandro's brown "You i be new to this job," be said.

Doesn't it show just as much courtesy for a man merely to touch his hat. when speaking to a girl, as it does to lift it? A. No; merely touching the hat is a halfhearted gesture. Q Is It correct for a hostess to keep protesting when her guests decide that they must leave? A. No, as the decision of time i to leave rests with the guests. Q How far in advance should the invitation to a wedding be mailed? A. About three weeks.

••Don’t you know that you fellows couldn’t get inside Forlorn and out again if 1 didn t have a special arrangement with Clark Raybum? You’ll pay a cut to mo on any deals you maha" "0.K," Chip agreed and snapped his whip. The wagon moving onward. Chip sucked la a deep breath. Risking a backward glance, ha aaw Alessandro stalking off toward a clump cl hushes and ha thought, 8o the kingpin himtelf wat lying in wait for m/ Ten minutes later Hope whispered, "Wasn't that Alessandro? 1 thought 1 recognized his voice. 1 * •It was him all right," Chip said. "Keep quiet now. Well likely bo runnins into a sentry soon." And where the trail was blacked out by the shadow of a high, overhanging boulder, a man reared himself not many minutes later, a nfle across his anna The man said, "Howdy. Your pards told me yesterday that you’d bo along later. Pass through."

And tn this easy manner Chip Halliday came into that land beyond the law, Forlorn Valley. The top of the pass wasn’t tar ahead; the oxen seemed to know the trail and they toiled along with a wall to the left of them and a drop-off to the right. Chip could look down upon a black oblivion of tree tope, and sometimes he saw a flash of moonlight upon water where Bear Creek rumbled down out of Forlorn. Then the trail began tilting downward, and though It had many twists and turns It was a wide trail, a road of sorts, and the last of the moonlight found him at its bottom and upon the rolling floor of the vast, wide valley. Halting the wagon tn the Umber 1 beyond the trait be began unyok--1 ing the oxen, and when Bingin' Sam and Hope crawled stilßy from ' under the tarp, he enlisted their ' help in hobbling the beasts. “We’ll ga on by saddle horse," Chip announced. "It should be safe enough now. and It will cer- ' tamly be easier traveling. The For- ' lorn era probably need these supplies, but well tell them where f they can And thia wagon." t But they rode only a short disi tones that night. When the moon had set. they spread their saddle . blankets and snatched aomtf rest. . The morning sun awoke them and , they were soon tn the saddle again, . and now the whole glory of For- . lorn Valley was spread before t them, the pine-blackened walls M , either hand reaching upward unti > they were lost in the remoteness o . the sky, the grassy floor beneath i them a rolling vista spreading . ever northward. It was breath-taking la Its > beauty, this valley.

chosen to stay. He glanced at Hope and aaw ber solemn contemplation of all thio, and bo knew that she was beginning to comprehend what had kept Clark Rayburn here. For Chip himself thia was a significant day; be bad reached trail's end. that goal of careful planning. The completion of his mission was almost within reach. Boon they were passing gracing cattle, sleek, prime beef, and sometimes they saw riders in the distance, but no man challenged them. They rode tn silence, still awed by the spell of thia majestic land; ' they wound through timber and > skirted the babbling creek that I flashed tn the morning sunlight, r and then, later, they saw a cluster of log buildings sprawled ahead of I them.

"A town!" Singin’ Sam ejects* lated. “A regular town!" "Forlorn,” Hope said softly. "The town Clark Rayburn built" Sam said, “It’s a happy day for all of'us—a day that makes mo feel like singing." And the music camo bursting from him: "O bury mo not on the lone prair-eee Where the wild ky-otee win . howl o'er me. In a narrow grave just six by three, O bury me not on the lone pralr-eeee!" Chip smiled, finding McAllister's mood contagious. “You can always gauge Sam's spirits by his songs," be said. "The sadder the song, the happier Sam la" Ringin’ Sam said. We re here, all of ua. We've brought the little lady through safe, and tn a few minutes shell be tn the arms ot her daddy. Chip, why don't you teh her?" Sam was referring to that secret mission the governor of Montana had assigned to them. Chip knew, the mission that would make every man in Forlorn free, but he said. "A Job isn't done till It o finished. Sam. I d better do my talking to Clark Rayburn." Then they were Into the street Os Forlorn town, jogging between two rows of log buildings. Ahead they saw the freight wagons that had come through that first day, lined up before what appeared to be a general storm Men were gathering in the street, eyeing the three Os them curiously, and one camo shouldering forward, a tan, • golden-maned man, and even if i Hope hadn't erted, "Dadi" Chip would have known somehow that this sad-eyed man was Clark Ray• bum. Coming down from her saddle, ! the girt ran forward, and Chip saw Rayburn stiffen for a moment and i then open hie arms to bar. But ) even as Rayburn bald his daughter I close, the Forlorn leader said, t "You shouldn’t have come here, girl We talked all that over the , other night." I fToaSe Continued?
