Children's Diseases More Serious Than Realized

By Herman N. Bundesen, M.O. MKABLES. whooping couxh. and other cvatagloue diseases of childhood are more treacherous than the average parent realizes Besides the obvious damage they do at the time of the acute attack, they may also leave behind them hidden changes in the brain, which show up only months or years later in the form of emotional disturbances and mental defects Measeis may cause actual inflammation of the brain or enreph alitis Fortunately, this ocean in only about one out of 200 cases During such an stuck of ensephel Itls there may be double vision, difficulty In swallowing, inability to empty the bladder, and mental disturbances. These cases of encephalitis are fatal in about one out of ten instances. and leave permanent damage to the nervous system in about two-thirds ot the others. It is thought that whooping cough may be a factor in many eases of mental backwardness Changes In the brain are probably produced by poisons formed by the whooping cough germs. Many such children may have attacks of convulsions that are followed by i temporary or nermanent paralysi*. Rheumatic fever is another disease which may leave a residue I of Bervous system disturbance* la* < dsdisf grw* aasuU 4

While wealth .Itself does not alter the status of good Americans, these men did live up to the tradition that they were public servant* In the service of their country —o o-— The Polio Emergency Fund now totals about 31.400. an Increase over the last report, but still 35,000 short of the advance made by the National Foundation of Infantile Paralysis to the County Chapter. While no goal has been set in the current drive, it does appear reasonable that this county should contribute sufficiently to care for Its own people. That is what we all believe in and now is the time to show it with a few generous donations to the polio fund 0 o Tito seems to be edging closer to the West. His latest piece of tactics is an attack on the Soviet Cominform as distinguished from the rank and file of Russians. Americans recall Woodrow Wilson’s distinction, in World War I. between the Kaisers government and the mass of German cltixens, which opened a wedge between the rulers and the peo- 1 pie If Tito could manage to get a hearing in Russia, through radio messages or some other device, he might Inconvenience the Kremlin considerably. Public opinion cannot be disregarded even by the most hardened autocracy The man on the ground, reading about airplane flights faster than the speed of sound and about the possibility of flying a thousand tulles an hour, usually figures there must be a catch somewhere There is. The only kind of engine developed so far capable of driving a plane at those fantastic speeds burns fuel faster than it can be loaded on the plane. Now scientists ray that research recults suggest how it may be possible to build an engine that will work at a thousand-mile clip for as long as an hour. This seems to be the proper point to remark that now we're getting somewhere. and at a thousand miles an hour we certainly will be o o Henry M. Blacktuer. the Colo rado oil tycoon of the ill-famed Tea Pot Dome days, must have had a bushel of thoughts as he returned to the United States after a 33 year selfimposed exile j in France. Rather than testify in the government's case against Sinclair and Albert Fall, the latter a member of President Harding’s cabinet, Blacktuer sailed for ' Europe and the French courts refused to return him to this coun- | try Several of the charges against the oil magnate have been settled. At SO, be probably felt he wanted to return to bis native land to spend his remaining days. We believe every Anuricxn feels the same way.

During recovery there may be untMlness. indifference, and general depression Scarlet fever, also, may cause nervous disturbances tn about one case out of 800, and about half of | the patients with these nervous conditions may develop permanent damage, such as paralysis. Smallpox, chickenpox. and German measles also may affect the nervotm system and produce en cephalitis or brain inflammation However encephalitis following German measles Is rare and in such canes permanent damage does not usually occur. When encephalitis occurs following chickenpox it also in usually mild and complete recovery occurs. Because ( < these dangers of dam ‘ age to the nervous system from these latching diseases every effort should of course bo made to keep children from developing such an infection and. should It occur, the child should be put under the care of a phyMcian al once.

CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR SETON ALESSANDRO. riding < down out of Forlorn Valley after being defied by Clark Rayburn. < was an angry as he ever permitted himself to be, and coupled with 1 his anger was a growing anxiety. ' A man given to scheming, he'd 1 seen his schemes go wrong too 1 many times of late, and a faint 1 webwork of worry was beginning • to trace itself beneath his velvety 1 eyea That old feeling that the walls he'd roared were beginning 1 to totter had taken hold of him 1 again, and he forced himself to a cold appraisal of the facts and a ] desperate determination to face 1 them. 1 Ah, but It had been a good thing ' he'd fashioned here tn the Turn- 1 tierocks. With the gold of Grass- ' hopper Gulch to back him, he'd bought a firm position in Tumblerock town, and he'd grown richer when he’d found the need of Forlorn Valley for an outside man and filled that need. With Clark Rayburn installed in the valley, j things had gone smoothly tor many years: the Forlorners accepted Rayburn as a leader, and if some quibbled about the exorbitant cost of Alessandro e cooperation, them was always Rayburn to remind them that they had no choice but to string along For Clark Raybum was the man , who’d sold himself to Seton Alessandro on the turn of a crooked card, and Raybum belonged to Alessandro, body and Soul. AU these years Rayburn had kept a gambler's bargain, but of late Rayburn bad been dissatisfied, anxious to leave the valley where he'd buried himself alive io serve Seton Alessandro. That dissatisfaction had stemmed from Hope Brennan's arrival in the i Tumblerock country, Alessandro knew. He'd told Rayburn of the girl’s presence, and that had been the first mistake. Yet so far Raybum had rigorously held to his bargain. Then Justin St John, that trou-ble-shooter of the governors, had come nding. Alessandro knew far more about the fate of St John , than he'd intimated to Tate Strunk, and, tn any case, St John was dead and would never deliver a blanket pardon to the Forlornore—a pardon that would mean j no more profit for Seton Altmandnx St John was a gone gosling, and Alessandro had hoped to turn the man's death to his own advantage by pinning a murder upon Clark Rayburn. Yet bad that been as wise? It would work If It scared Raybum into staying ini stdo Forlorn. But sometimes Clark Rayburn was unpredictable, and there was no knowing hew he might react to what he sensed was a frame-up to keep him within fileassndro’s grasp. And now there was Chip Halliday and Single* Sam McAllister to think about—the precious pair who’d penetrated Inta Forlorn 1 UUltt W tWm tab

Justin BL John had failed. More than that. McAllister probably knew the story behind that crooked ace of spades, and if McAllister Inadvertently told Clark Raybum about It, Alessandros claim on the Forlorn leader would be forever gone True, he might still set Raybum dangling from a gallows for the death of St John, and them'd be a certain satisfaction n that But the other Forlorners would be free, the valley thrown open to an influx of newcomers. Unless... And now Alessandro smiled for the first time today. Unless circumstances shaped themselves so that the Forlorners chose to protect Clark Raybum. thus plunging themselves deeper into outlawry and exhausting the patience of the governor. Here was a thought with which to toy, and Alessandro dwelt upon it, shaping and re-shaping it with an artisan s skill, and in this manner be came riding to where a half-dosen of ms crew waited tn the north end of Bear Creek Basin. A bearded, hardcase lot. they were hunkered around a spread saddle blanket playing poker, but they camo to a stand as be rode up. Singling out one, a hook-nosed man with a prominent display of yellowish teeth, Alessandro said. *T've been meaning to tell you, Piute; you're foreman now in Colorado Jack’s place. Did you get him and the girl back to the ranch without any trouble?” Piute spat to one side, and nodded. **! left a couple of the boys to keep aa eye oa 'em. What next?" “I'm rkflng to the ranch," Alessandra announced. “You fellows hang around here for a while, if anybody tries to leave the valley, send word to me by sun talk.” “Sure,” said Piute, and Alessandro rode on, Coming down across the miles at an easy pace, he approached his ranch from the rear, aad it was late afternoon before be made out the high outline of the big bam among the trees that almost concealed the place. Turning his horse over to one of his crew who loitered near the corrals. Alessandro headed toward the ranch-house, but a whim made him pause before a high, fenced enclosure that abutted the back of the house. Within this enclosure he kept his hunting hounds, and he climbed to a runway that Jutted from one side of the fence and peered over the pickets at the half-dozen black, big-bodied creatures that padded restlessly below. There's been a time when bunting had filled Alessandro's days, and from this ranch he’d traveled to far and savage toons to pursue his bobby. Between such trips he'd combed the Tumbleroeks with this brutish pack Watching the hounds now, he promised himself that he'd find more time for them when he'd taken care of the troubles which now beset him.

sprawling, two-storied affair, not unlike his town house in many ways, and when he came arotmd to the front of it. Jasper Fogg was just dismounting from a Mddie horse at the gate. The lawyer said, “Ah there, Seton; 1 thought I might find you here. So Sheriff Busby discovered himself a body yesterday. But Busby isn't doing much talking. Still, I keep remembering you sending Busby off on a little pascar, Seton. Wouldn t be that the body is that man of the governor's that Strunk talked about?" Fogg's round, pink face was more than a little flushed, and it wasn't only the exertion of the ride that had given him thia high fioridnees, Angrily Alessandro said, “Come inside to do your talking, you drunken fool! Do you want to shout to the mountain tops?" Another of Alessandro’s crew lounged before the doorway to the ranch-house, and Alessandro, nodding to him, let himself into a hallway thatjgave off into a study that was a smaller replica of the one in the town house. Here too was a fireplace and mounted animal skins, a gun collection and a teakwood desk that was twin to the one in Tumbleroek. There was even a wine decanter, and Alessandro helped himself to a drink without offering one to Fogg. Seating himself. Alessandro said, “Halliday and McAllister got into the valley. 1 asked Raybum to turn them over to me, but he refused, claiming the law of the valley came first Does that give you an idea how things stand?" Fogg must have drawn upon a long knowledge of Alessandro's ways, for he said, “I'm guessing that you've already found the means to fix that Would Rayburn be the man the law will be looking for when word of St John s death reaches Helena?" Alessandro frowned. “1 told Rayburn that Busby would be writing to Helena, but that's only a bluff for the time being. Mill if I can't keep Rayburn tn line, then 1 must destroy him. But who can I put in Forlorn in ins place? 1 It takes a strong man to keep ' that valley crew from biting the hand that's feeding them." “Colorado Jack?'' Fogg suggested. Alessandra's frown deepened. i “I hadn't thought of him. He and Ua tried to run Iway together yesterday. I've got them kicked up here now. They're la love: that's the thing 1 hadn't counted on. But I'll tear that idea out es them, bud aad root." Fogg said, I've watched those two. and you cant fie it, Seton. You've played al being God so long that you've come to believe I in your o»n omniscience. But there had to be a day when you'd bump into something too big for you.” "Think so?" Alessandro countered. “Then wait and listen." X- - if Ctomad<4 •
