Success builds success. When a community meets a challenge it is spurred on to accomplish greater things. 0 O"' The Christmas shopping season will be launched formally next Saturday with the arrival of Santa Claus and turning on of the Christmas lights. The season of goodwill is here. o o This is pay off week in an allout community effort to raise $150,000 and automatically boost the Community Center Fund with a $76,000 gift from Central Soya Company. If a thief stole $75,000 from the City Treasury, irate citisens would want him prosecuted and sentenced to jail. If we permit a $76,000 gift for community betterment and improvement to slip through our fingers, who will be to blame? o o Investigators for the Commerce Department predict that the high price of coffee will remain for at least another year. There is no acute shortage of the bean, but with a reduced crop It looks like the Brazilian growers are just taking advantage of the demand. o O’Abner 8. Elzey who lived four score and three years, had the rpirit of the pioneer and community builder. He started the settlement southwest of Fort Wayne, which is now known as Waynedale. A former resident of this city, Mr. Elzey moved from hege to Ossian in 1893 and was active in that community for a half century. His death causes sorrow among a host of friends in this area. —-o Those who seek a home and want to live in a place with little or no taxes, might try the Gilbert and Ellice Islands in the South Seas. Word comes from there that no housing shortage exists on the islands. Taxes are very low. the government's budget is balanced and destitution is unknown. The islands are looking for homesteaders, but chances are ordinary humans prefer this part of the world with ail its problems in preference to the tranquility of the South Seas.

Inflammation of the Liver

By Herman N. Bundesen, M.O. IT la becoming more and more apparent that hepatitis, or inflammation of the liver, is a frequent disorder. Often, due to a virus infection. this disease Is commonly accompanied by Jaundice or a greenish yellow discoloration of the skin Sometimes, however, this sign is not present and. In these cases, the patient is likely to shrug off the attack as *'a touch of 'flu' ** This is Unfortunate because neglect to obtain proper treatment carries with k the danger that the condition may become chronic and that the Nver will be permanently damaged. Many suggestions, both as to recognition of this form of hepatitis and Its treatment, can be gained from a recent study of a group of patients who showed no signs of jaundice. In practically all of these eases, the condition began with fever. Many patients had headache in the front part of the bead or around the eyes. Loss of appetite and a feeling of fullness In the abdomen Were present in all cases There was soreness and a dull, aching sensation in the abdomen and often. actual pain under the edge of Ute ribs on the right side Euessive gas formation and entergement ot 'he lymph glands in the neck and In other part* of the body are other symptoms which Showed up io some patients There gtoo seemed to bo some meat eC the kver- Taste of the

The eighteen survivors of the B 29 Superfortress which dropped into the Atlantic, will have heartfetl reasons for giving thanks on Thanksgiving day. Their rescue is a miracle and the world rejoices that they were saved from an untimely death in the great deep of the sea. o o The action of the Union in the case of the Bell Telephone Company makes one wonder how sincere the union leadership is when it comes to the employes. The case in point is the objection of the CIO Communications Workers of America against the Bell system, because the company doubled the benefits of its pension plan without consulting the union. It would appear that such favorable action toward workers should be heartily endorsed. As in the case of John L. Lewis, a few fellows want to run the show, regardless of results. Sommersaults: A doctor who writes a medical column claims that half a million people are now turning somersaults daily as a result of his advice. Improved circulation, induced by this exercise, has resulted in fewer headaches and other pains, and may even be a preventive of seasickness, according to the author. Whether or not these claims may be justified, there can be little doubt that a group of somersaulters is bound to be more flexible than the same number of people who always remain upright and dignified. Rolling end over end on the floor or the ground relaxes mental as well as physical muscles and tends toward less rigidity and formality of viewpoint. Rowing machines and handball courts are not always accessible when minds are tired and muscles stiff. A session of somersaults with the children limbers the body and relaxes the tensions Imposed by modern living. One writer on health subjects maintains that exercise rests a tired person more than rest does. This depends, perhaps, on what made the person tired. A moderate amount of brisk exercise certainly does wonders for the officetired person. But a lot of people prefer to get their daily exercises by winding their watch.

liver action showed that, in these • cases, the function of the liver was - impaired, that is. that the liver was t not not carying out its action pro- • perly. r In treating these patients, bed t rest was required. Getting out of • bed too early made the symptoms worse, in about one-third of the i patients, the use of a diet rich in « protein foods, such as meat and r milk, with a reduction In the i amount of fat. together with rest in ■ bed. produced a complete cure i within a period of from five to eight i weeks. In arfbther third of the t cases, the symptoms continued for . from 2'» weeks to five months, ■ while in the remaining third the > symptoms cleared up in about three I weeks. f In those patients, in whom the f condition lasted a long time, evi- > dence of permanent liver damage was often present 1 In cases of hepatitis, it Is impor--1 tant that the diagnosis be made 1 early so that treatment can be 1 started at once with a high protein ' diet and bed rest, since these mea» ’ urea seem to short* n the course of the disease.

CHAPTER XVI Wednesday. November 4 1 did not do all the writing I expected to yesterday, and now I know more about the mystery of Mike’s car. Young Al Syke* went to Merle Hawley and confessed that he had been lying about how Mike got Policeman's Sykes' gun. His first story wm that Mike had talked him into borrowing it while hi* father was off duty, and he had no idea of M|k<* plana. And Y<rang Al tried to make out that be had remained innocently In a Madrid theater Hut now he admit* that he knew from the beginning that Mike had thought him•elf cheated at the Loftland gambling dive, and planned to get his money back at gun point. Al was with Mike to drive the car past the alley exit at the right time. Rut he heard the shooting, and drove to the bus station, deserted the jalopy, and took a bus home. Merle got Al. senior, the cop to come to his study on persuading Young Al that It should be up to hi* father's discretion how far the fact* become known. Merle gave me a buzx also, sure that I would agree to secrecy or whatever plan was decided for the best conduct of Young Al. Then Hawley persuaded Sykes, Sr., and me that be was convinced of the kid's sin cerity in promising to do right. In away. we were judge and jury over Young Al. giving him a sort of suspended sentence dependent on hi* behavior. The Syke* family vaguely belonged to the Baptist Church, and both father and son •greed to become active member*, the kid not to miss Sunday School and church for a year, ex cept in case of sickness. Merle ended by saying: “Most important. Al: You are not to think of this as punishment, but as a chance to build your character so strong that you are not likely to be persuaded toward crime again. And I'm glad for your attitude. Mr. Sykes. With out your taking the lead, your children are not going to think church important.” O. why could Mike not have had the same chance, with our father cooperating? Os course, Mike did not scare like Young Al. There are thing* it to wise to be scared of. Brewer saw me In a school oorri dor before classe*. and stepped up to me with hie palm out: “Too bad. Ego. And I’m sorry about Saturday night, too.” I look hi* hand, but could say nothing for the lump in my throat.

sat down. I kept my face away from her through the whole period, and then she did the most decent thing of her young life. When the bell bad rung, she put her band on my arm for a moment, and said. "I'm sorry. Ego!" and hurried from the room. 1 had to go into the washroom and lock myself in a booth until my eye* would stay dry. I got into history class just a* the bell was ringing. The Loftland Journal has twice had editorial* on the case of Mike Igorvlcb, and the gambling syndicate. A reporter took a good pair of dice into the Club St, and manipulated a trade for some of the bones that belong to the club. They were found to be loaded. The joint is now closed. If a reporter had done that two week* ago. Mike might still have been living. “Might," but I cannot be sure of anything so long as the kid was determined to try getting money the quick and easy way. About all we can hope now is that the death << Mike has done Ai Skye* some good And the rest of the Igorrich family. And maybe some others will catch on to the grim U»son—like Brewer, and Dorothy. Life will have to go on for the rest of us. but I am determined It will go on differently In our family. I said at the table tonight, without a word of contradiction from Pop: “Mom. I'm determined that none of the rest of these kids are going to have to face the problems of life without God just because of that damn dumb bargain you two have. Stella, Mary. Anne, and Joe. get ready to go with me next Sunday morning " My mother retorted. “If they go anywhere, they are going with me.” I answered. “O. K.. but they are going somewhere. We won't have another avoidable tragedy if I can du anything about it.” I often wouder what keeps our father straight, tor I have to admit that be has a strict rule of conduct and a good •*< of ideas without r» Union. Maybe he bad some train int In the Russian Church before be turned against It. But I know nothing from his talk. Saturday.

to understand why I want to keep sober and decent. She knows everything I know about the right way to live, and a lot more than I know; but with her father spilling that mullarkey about “superior people take what they want." she Is not all to blame for taking the whiskey she wants First opening on the subject of Mike, 1 am going to say in so many words. “Irreligion cost Mike his life.” And I am determined to let her know that she and I go the same direction, or we do not go together. She has not bad to grow up so fast as I because she ha* never had any responsibil jty, and I must not be Impatient. 1 tried not to be impatient with Mike. Well, no use rehashing that. The game with Bashan next week, last of the season, can expect to be anticlimax after last night at the stadium in Indiana polls. No ordinary, or extraordi* nary, “prep" team can beat our eleven man combination and LadyLuck. We should have lost last night by a couple touchdown*, since we were "cold” and Long vale “hot.” And they are a great team. They had everything except enough touchdowns, and we had the jitter* in front of a huge crowd on a good night, which expected to see Longvale win the newspaper vote a* best In Indiana. We spoil ed It for Longvale. which walloped Creighton, which beat u*. Urftiand Central also beat Creighton. but last week was held to a snowy scoreless tie by Bashen The newspapers will have to look to an other part of the state for the champ, Longvale has a wonderful line, whfcb ouubarged own fast enough to squelch me when I tried to carry from my regular position When our usually fast line tried to speed up. we got several penalties for off-side. They had the ball most of the time, and a good mixture of play*. They were driving re tenti***l{ toward the end of the first quarter when Pillsbury, their paaser. shot one right to me. I lost a few inches in two trie*, then we changed ends of the field for the second quarter Oa third down. I stood almost oa the goal-line for a fake punt, and got away tor my best run of the half, past our forty. But the next time I tried that. I got caught back oa our thirty. Second down. I took a lateral from Lui*, and fooled them with a quick kick which gave them the whole length of the field for their next march. This time, we could Mt stop them, •nd they scored on a clever pass play. We wera behind 7-0 al halftime. and did not look like we belonged on the tame gridiron. (To he CuauuMdt
