Fainting Attack May Be Symptom of Disorder

By Herman N. Bundeaan, M O. ALARMING as It is to moat people, fainting la only a symptom. It may have grave or minor implieations. depending on the cause As in headache, these are numerous and varied and can be ferreted out in the individual case only by a searching examination For inatance. one parson may faint tiecause of too little sugar in the blood, a condition known as hypoglycemia, another may faint because he is the victim of epilepsy, a disease chiefly characterised , by a loss of consciouanesa. which may or may not be accompanied ' by convulsions. In many cases, fainting Is due to' trouble with the heart. For example. some patients may have a ( heart condition, known as tachycardia. in which the heart beat is rapid but iMflicient Also, fainting attacks are not unusual in a disorder known as heart block in which the heart rate to very slow. | Damgge »« tM h ‘* rt ’•’*** m * y be another cause far fainting gt-1 tacks, because such damage may produce narrowing of the opening through the valves so that put ‘ enough blood to PUm ped by the heart tn tbe brain Hwh fainting attacks usually occur after osestlOß. In tbe neck thepe to a eouditioo of nerves known as the carotid ■.

extra allowance for the Judge of I the Adams Circuit Court has been ' approved and the state treasurer ! will be notified of the local ae tion Judicial salaries may be too ' high or too low. but that is a matter for the Legislature to determine. While political slant may be given to remuneration of public officials, chances are that member* of either political party would accept any Increase a* provided by law. o o ■ The bravest man of his cen tury and of many centuries was Christopher Columbus. In venturing across the uncharted Atlantic to find the Far East by sailing west, Columbus faced not only the perils of the deep but the ridicule of bis fellows, which is often harder to bear than the worst physical danger. Nearly 500 years earlier the Norsemen under I-eif Ericsson are said to have landed somewhere on the continent and established a settlement But the Norse achievement was not followed up by other navigators, unless it be that a dim memory bad survived to encourage Columbus in his quest. Columbus, if not the first to discover America, was the first to do so under the eye* of all Europe. Had hi* feat been fully recognized in its time, or had Amerigo Veapuccl been a les* prolific writer of letters about hi* own later voyage*, our continent might be named Columbia instead of America. But Columbus’ glory now is ample; he is credited with the most epochal geographic discovery of all history. President's Moil: One man who does not need to speculate whether there will be any mail today Is the President of the United States. Just how much of a problem that can be is made clear in “Dear Mr President . . a newly published book by Ira R. T. Smith, head of the White House mail room from 1«97 to 1948. The figures are rather overwhelming. In June. 1947, President Truman received 157,(15 letters. 413,330 cards and 17,715 package*. The package* ineluded such items as three Spanish onion*, one worn white shirt, a ukulele with instruction book, a 44pound cherry pie. two white kittens and a garbage can. A radio appeal for dimes to be sent to the White House and later to the National Foundation for infantile Paralysis brought several hundred thuurand letters, each with dime. This was iu addition to the regular mail standing out from such figures is the fact that millions of American* turn naturally to the President when they are in difficul'iea, or believe that some particular thing should be done to help the country.

sinus. Irritation of this sinus, or pressure on it may lead to fainting attacks, in some individuals. Fainting may develop also when j there to general weakness of the heart muscle such as occurs in myocarditto, which is an inflammaItion of tbe heart musculature. People with thia condition have a normal blood pressure when lying down but when they stand, the pressure drops suddenly This drastic fall la blood pressure sometimes brings on a fainting attack, j Bandaging the legs to that the ( blood cannot collect there, seems to be the best treatment. I A fainting attack should never be neglected When such an attack occurs there to need for a thorough I study by a physician to determine its caipe. Thus. In many instances serious conditions may be discovered and treatment carried out to prevent any untoward effect. I BVtSTION* ANO ANSWER* 1.

CHAPTER THIRTY-FIVE THEY RODE along again, Rayburn still leading the way. They came through the forest of lodgepole pins where the shadows banked blackly, and they were nearly to the valley’s rim before the moon rose like a great white moth over the eastern hllta. Now Rayburn said, "T’e been doing some thinking about tonight Fogg was on the level all right He released us and gave us a warning about that fellow Alessandro was sending—the man you shot But that man had as good a look at one of us as he did at the other. Yet It was you he tried to dust Why? Because Alessandro knows you're working for the governor ?’’ "He has another reason, too, for wanting my scalp," Sam admitted. "It's a wild story having to do with an ace of spades and a deal that came off long ago. It doesn't matter, Rayburn." The Forlorn leader had fallen back to ride stirrup to stirrup beside Bingin' Sam. Now Raybum leaned, his Angers fastening on Sam's arm tn a hard and relentless grip. "An ace of spades'" Raybum ejaculated. "What about Alessandro and an ace of spades?'* In this first moonlight, Raybum's face was* like something carved from granite, but his eyes were alive with a Cerce, blazing ‘ Intensity. Singin' Sam said, "Don't break my arm, mister. I’ll spin the story for you." Whereupon he told of Ute Kincade, and of Gopher Joe Gravelly who'd died in Deer Lodge, and the story of Grasshopper Gulch and the fabulous poker game Gopher Joe had witnessed. When he'd finished. Rayburn said softly, "I wish I'd known this yesterday. You see, McAllister, I’m the man who sold himself to Alessandro on th* turn of a card." Bingin' Sam whistled. "I should have guessed it," be decided at last. "Yet it seemed like everybody la these Tumblerocks was pretty much slave to Alessandro. I’m bettin* you were a professional gambler once. It ain't every man who'd keep a bargain made over • deck of cards. But he gypped you out of twenty years of living!" "You've turned me free tonight." Raybum said. "Before the sun rises, 1 think I shall be calling upon Seton Alessandra" Something tn the wsy Raybum said thia made Single' Sam shudder la spite of himself. Bam said, "Alessandro seems to have a lung account to settle. But 1 reckon wed better get on to the valley —first." "Yes." Raybum said like a man rpeaking tn his algep. "Yes, of | course." ■ Zhmr wees nmnac the taw of

those switchbacks leading down to the valley's floor, and now it was Bingin' Sam who gripped Rayburns arm. “Rider ahead!" Sam whispered. "See? Swingin' out of a saddle over there by the rim!" "It's Hope!" Rayburn ejaculated, and the two went spurring forward. Hope spied them too and must have recognized the pair, for she came running as Rayburn slipped to the ground. When Rayburn had her in hts arms, she cried, "Chip— ? He's not with you?” Rayburn shook his head. "We thought he'd taken you back to the valley. Haven't you seen him?" "Thia morning," she said and told how Chip bad bunted her down in the darkness of last night, ar.d of his proposal to go to Alessandro's ranch and his assurance that his mission would bring a solution to Clark Raybum's troubles. Raybum in turn told his story, but this information, pieced together, netted nothing. A worried frown on his face, Singtn* Sam said, "We might as well go down into the valley. Maybe Chip is there; come through the pass. If he isn't, we can start lookin' for him." Bo it was agreed, and they urged their mounts down the switchbacks, Rayburn leading the way. The descent was even more breathtaking than the climb had been, but the moon was high enough now to give them light, and Raybum knew this giant stairway from past experience. Upon the valley's floor, they mounted again, but by then the moon was fading, the night nearly gewa In the dark before the dawn they reached that huddle of log buildings. Forlorn town, and found not a single light showing. But when they racked their weary horses before Ray bum's cabin, a figure detached itself from the shadow of the eaves • Rayburn?" it cried. "Is that you? Man, I'm glad you've come along!" Hope thumbed a match aglow and held It cupped in her hands, and Raybum said, “Iveo! Colorado Jack Ives!" His voice turned low and deadly. "Bo Alessandro has sent his foreman to ma Why. Ives?" "Easy, now!" Ives snapped "Cant anybody understand that I'm not Alessandro's man any longer? Chip Halliday seat me here!" Chip's name was like a steadying hand to Rayburn, and it stiffened Bingin' Sam and Hope to tense alertness too. Rayburn said. Talk, Ives. Talk fast! What do you know about Chip Halliday?" Whereupon Ives began an accounts!. starting with that moment when he'd spied Chip com mr toward tom down the trad and

ending with the episode of their i parting in Bear Creek Basin with Alessandro's riders hard on their , heels. Understanding grew upon Ringin' Sam as Ives talked, and Sam said, "Those hounds, Ray* I burn! That ruckus we heard down in the basin! It was Chip that Alessandro was bunting, not us!" "Your sentry let me through the pass," Ives said. "Chip told mo to wait for him until noon tomorrow. If he wasn't here by then, I was i to lead the Forlomers down upon Alessandro s ranch. But I've gone crazy just hunkering here waiting for the sunrise. I keep remember* ing him out there alone with Alessandro's crew hemming him in." "He's in trouble, Ives: no doubt of it," Raybum said. "And we’re bringing him help!” Drawing his gun, Rayburn blazed at the sky till he’d eptied the forty-five Before the last echo had died away, lights blossomed , la some of the cabins, and a few moments later doors were banging and men spilling out tn various stages of dress. Rayburn shouted, "Over here, fellera!" and when the sleepy-eyed men of Forlorn Valley began assembling, staring at him in astonishment, he said, '"There's little time for talking. Get saddled up, boys We've got a war waiting for us on ths other side of the pass." Then there was the confusion of getting under way, men hurrying to finish dressing, men throwing gear on saddlers and looking to their guns, and, watching all this, Clark Rayburn smiled at Bingin' Sam. "You said that Alessandro gypped me out of twenty years of living," Rayburn observed. "I'm not so sure. He gave me this place as a home. He gave me these people to lead. And this morning the thing he fashioned here in Forlorn Valley |a boomeranging on him." The first flush of dawn was tn the east when a score of fighting men headed southward with Clark Rayburn. Bingin* Sam McAllister and Colorado Jack Ives at their bead. With them, rode Hope, la spite of her father's protcePs. But be had won her promise to stay behind when the shooting started, and be had to be content with that. While they rode, Ives did much talking, telling them of Ua and the danger that threatened her, and Rayburn nodded to this, saying nothing. And so they came wttMhag down the valley, aad they pasted the scattered herds of For* lorn cattle and began their ciuub Co the top of the pass; and the ayn was just beginning to show itself when they approached the boulder where the eentry bold sway. _ I

Homemaking Tips by Anna K. William* Sweaters To keep new fall sweaters attractive looking and help them to give longer wear, they should be cared for according to the fabric in the sweater. These fabrics may be spun nylon, combination nylon and wool, or all wool. Spun nylon sweaters should be washed in lukewarm water and a mild soap suds. Nylon does not shrink or stretch, so after washing and thorough rinsing. It may be smoothed into shape. Nylon sweat-1 era dry quickly but when it 1* de-, sirable to hasten the drying, they may be rolled tn a towel for a few minute*. ' Person* who are allergic to wool, but desire more warmth than the nylon sweater will give, may prefer a sweater of combination wool and , nylon. If the sweater contain* at j I least 2o percept nylon, it will control shrinkage to a great extent I The label on the sweater, when ' purchased, should state the percentage of nylon and wool. i During the laundering, an allwool sweater may easily shrink nr »tret< h out of shape. It is recommended to mark the outline of the ; sweater on a paper as a guide. Wool sweater* should be washed by hand in a generous amount of lukewarm water with a heavy sud* of mild soap. Soap should not be rubbed onto the sweater Squeeze the soapy waler and tbe rinse water* through the sweater and avoid wringing, twisting or lifting up and down in the water The wash water and rinse water should all be the same lukewarm temperature, since changing temperatures may shink wool, making ’ it harsh and stiff. To dry. place the sweater be- ‘ 'tween two bath towel* and pat out I I the extra water Then spread the sweater on paper and gently stretch back into the shape of the outlln* on paper Pin* stuck Info tbe garment will hold it in shape while It dries However, do not dry it near , a stove, radiator or In the hot sun ' Freezing temperature* also are' hard <>n the yarn Some sweaters look better if

I CHAPTER THIRTY SIX "ANYTHING stirring this morning, feller?" Rayburn asked the sentry. The sentry took a look at the full fighting force of the valley arrayed at Rayburn's back, swallowed tus astonishment aad said, "Borne body's hunkering in tbs brush on down the trail They ain't allowin' themselves, but l know they're there." "1 see," Rayburn said and nudged his horse. When be was a dbzen yards beyond the boulder, a gun spat, the lead geysering dirt in the center of the trait Down below, from a tangle of rocks and brush at one side of the narrowed pass, a voice said, "Nobody's coming out of the valley, mister! Now move back before 1 raise my sights!" Rayburn retreated to the shelter of the boulder. "Alessandro's men," he reported. "But there can't be many of them—not with most of the crew busy la the basin." "He doesn't need many here," McAllister observed. "This valley's always been a safe proposition because one sentry could hold off an army. But that works two ways. A couple of men down below can keep us all penned up in here forever." "Thunderatlon, Rayburn!" Colorado Jack protested. "Are we going to let them stop ua? Halliday's out there somewhere, and Lie’s likely still a prisoner la Alessandro's house They're both as good as dead unless we can rusn thia pass!" "We could go back Into the valley and climb the stairway to the sky." Rayburn soliqutscd. "But that would be alow going, aad it would be nearly noon before we cold get thia force back around end into Bear Creek Basin. Probably we haven't that much time to waste But 1 know away to sweep tills pass clean! The quickest way! Boys, turn back to where the last herd of cattle was grazing. Cut out about a hundred steers and haze them up here mighty fast! We're going to make a ba’t.-r ng ram out of beef, and we're going through the pass behind it!" • • • Free of Alessandro's ranch, but with the pursuit pounding hard In the twilight. Chip Halliday had watched Colorado Jack Ives ride from sight In the little clump of trees In Bear Creek Basin, watched Mlh a strange sense of loneliness, ivas had gone at Chip's insistence, of course, but for a moment Chip almost regretted this parting of the ways. He had that feeling of Impotancy that comes to a cowboy afoot, yet his strategy had been sound enough, as he quickly learned. For while be hunkered In the brush, a knot of Alwaaadro’s riders roared tor, dinging grimly to the trail of Ives. Eventually they'd iaara that Wes was alone, aad when they did some of them would tarn back in search of Chip. But meanwhile he had no of sitting here waiting fr* them. With the rataplan of hoofs dying la the distance. Chip was already running to the sooth again, but he didn't take a straight course To his far left loomed another clump of trees, aad he planned to dodge from shelter to shelter till Alasstadro's ranch was betaind him.

But before be reached that second grove, be made out other riders in the dim haze of twilight They came sweeping from the isnoh, a thin, far-flung aet that was spread to engulf him, and he ran harder then, scurrylag into the timber and plunging on through it to the east, getting this dump of trees between himself and the charging horsemen. Over a rise of ground, bo stretched himself flat and he was this way, his chin pressed tight against the ground, when a rider thundered by, not s dozen yards sway. Chip grinned. Moro than one could play at this game, and he came to bls feet and started south again. But soon be was flinging himself to the earth once mere, for another horseman loomed out of the gathering night, almost riding him down. The fellow roared on past, and Chip rone and ran toward the trees, keeping low and straining bis eyes for sight of other riders. And that was when he hesrd the bound pack baying. At first be didn't recognize the sound, though he remembered hearing it on another mg*’- That had been during the mo*!.'it hours when he and Hope w/ Bingin' Sam had entered this basin on their way to Forlorn Valley, and Hope had spoken then of Alessandro's hunting expeditions and of the hound pack be kept for combing grizzlies out of the Tumblerock* Now those hounds were on the trail again, and he himself was the quarry. For a moment he fought against a marrow-chilling, primitive panic, for it was om thing to dodge horpemen but quite another to elude the savage brutes that were now hunting him down. To the east a thin line of willows marked where Bear Creek came tumbling down put of Forlorn Valley to roar southward past Tumbiereck town. Throwing caution aside. Chip started on a hard run for the ereek. If there was any bloodhound strain in Alessandro's peck, the beasts would be given his scent at ths saddle shed where he'd been imprisoned this afternoon. Chip reasoned. But they'd have to do some circling before they picked up his trail again, for he'd left the ranch on horseback. Reaching the ereek, he plunged into ft, and, hugging close to the shore, he began bueking the current as he slowly waded upstream. At times the water came to his armpits, and he was certain he wae going to be swept off his feet and carried away. Now he could hear no sound of pursuit; there was only the roar of the creek ia bis ears. He toyed with the thought of beading downs!ream and decided against it: they'd be keeping rareful watch la that direction. When he judged that be d put many yar* behind torn, he came to tfie bank again aad lay panting VMM the wiUowa, chilled aad Worn. Somewhere tn the distance the bounds were itUl baying, closer ft seemed, and Chip staggered to h'.s foot and lurched aimler-ly along. Gons now was any thought of making it to the south; they had tom hammed tn aad his only hope aaa to continue to etude them. He crossed aa open stretch of ground •nd got into another chimp of i tries, but bars he almost collided with a man who stood leaning
