Does a turkey wonder why Thanksgiving ever was started? —-o o Tomorrow at this time, will you he calling for the bicarbonate of soda? Those cheery Christmas Seals are here again and by using them you are helping in the fight against tuberculosis. _o O—Often we hear criticism of men employed by federal government or in the president's official family. And in the next move the same men are hired by big business concerns for their ability at salaries double what the government paid them. o 0 - - White haired John N. Garner remains an individualist. On his Rist birthday anniversary he shelled pec ans and seemed to let the world go by. The former vicopresident apparently is in good health and hopes to live to be 93. The country wishes him good luck. o o Jaunty Field Marshal Montgomery brought encouraging word from England, as he arrived here to attend the Army-Navy football game next Saturday. There is no immediate threat of war in Europe, the famous general of the battle of El Alamein declared. For the American people that is a good Thanksgiving message. o—o Deer are said to be plentiful in Michigan and Canada this season. due to last winter's mild weather. Food was available in the wild country and the animals thrived better than usual. A hunter said that the chance of shooting a buck was about as good as getting shot himself, so thick were the sportsmen scattered over the deer territory. o— o Churches are as one In calling to mind the debt we owe to God for blessings bestowed during the past year. With the observance of Thanksgiving there will be a Union Service of the Protestant churches, and vesper services at the Zion Lutheran church this evening. Masses will be said at St. Marys church Thanksgiving morning and a second service will be held at the Lutheran church. The church of your choice gives you the oj> portunity tp attend divine worship on this feast day.

Severe Disorder Baby M ay Have

By Herman N. Bundesen, M.D. IXTI SStSCEPTIOX in a long word for a serious disorder which ( chiefly aflWbts babies under two year* of age. In thia condition there is telescoping of a portion of the bowel, one being pushed into the section just below It exactly as a telescope folds together. The symptoms of this disorder are severe pain In the abdomen, the ' passage of blood from the bowel, vomiting, and fever. The condition is one which demands immediate attention; therefore a doctor should be called at once whenever any of these things occur. In the past, the common form of treatment has been immediate operation. .More recently, a number of patients have been treated by the pressure of fluid Introduced through the rectum. It is suggested that when this treatment to given, the patient be put to sleep with an anesthetic and that the procedure be carried out near the operating room so that if operation becomes necessary ft can be done without any delay. In carrying out the treatment, ■alt solution to allowed to ran into the rectum through ■ tube passed about three inches into bowel As the fluid Is introduced. It flows rapidly at first and then more slow |y. The pressure of the fluid Is maintained for from two to three minutes and then relieved. This procedure cm bo repeated two or|

The Woman’s club is not a money raising organisation, but through the years It accumulated 11.400 from dues and miscellaneous income. This entire reserve. plus necessary funds to round out (1,500, was voted by the Club to the proposed Youth Center and Community Building. Climaxing 30-years of sponsorship and effective leadership in the cause of a Community Building, the Club at last bad the opportunity to contribute for this purpose. The pledge was made in honor of Mrs. John 8. Peterson, first club president, and the civic-minded charter members who first voiced the need for a Community building thirty years ago It was a magnificent gesture and is greatly admired by those who have been zealously working for the success of the drive. o o Thanksgiving: Maybe this ought to be a personal Thanksgiving. In the last few years it has got to be a habit of Americans at Thanksgiving time to take a look at the rest of the world and consider how good it is to be living in this land of material plenty, political and social stability, and above all of freedom. Those advantages of life in America are Just as obvious and Just as good this November as in the past. But perhaps this time the Thanksgiving feast should be an occasion for considering more personal blessings. Almost everyone has some special reason to be glad for the circumstances of his own life. And whatever his situation, it is easy to imagine that fortune might have been much less kind. Looking back over life, remembering the small things on which the course of it has hinged, a person sees that it is often no more than the breadth of a hair which separates good fortune from bad. Yet most of us. not only as a people but also as individuals, have had far more than our Just share of the good fortunes of life. Let us each, as we gather with loved ones on Thanksgiving Day, be grateful to God for all the good things of simple dally life. Everyone has some cause for thanksgiving. And thankfulness for the past Is one of the finest states of mind possible as a start for building a good future.

| three times if necessary. By maintaining the pressure of the fluid at , a constant point, there is no danger of rupture of the bowel from this procedure. In more than 100 patients in which this treatment was used, the intussusception was corrected with* out operation in one-fifth: in another fifth, it was found at the time ' of operation that It had been somewhat relieved. In the remainder of the cases, operation was required in about one-tenth of the infants, the condition was fatal, but. of these, less than half were treated within 24 hours after the onset of the disorder. Thus. It can be seen that the earlier the treatment for intussusception to carried out. the more successful it may be. There should be no delay in consulting a physician if the baby develops vomiting, fever, pain In the abdomen, failure to have a bowel movement, or has blood In the bowel movement. QUESTIONS ANO ANSWERS F G.: What would cause a yeast infection in a woman of fortythree? Would It lead to some serious trouble? Answer: Just why yeast infections develop has not yet been determined. As a rale, such a conditioa to not serious. With proper i treatment, the disorder can be cleared up. A gynecologist should be consulted. I

Chapter XV! Continued After they took the second half kick-off, we held them for once. Murphy took their punt, lateralled to Henningsen who got all the way to their eight yard line. But in four lunges. 1 got a total of five yards, they were that tough. From their three, they began another relentless drive, at the end of which I pulled the prize boner of the night. Let myself lose count of downs; intercepted a four down pass over the goal line and got trapped. Now they led 9-0. I had to make up for it next time I got my hands on the ball on a lateral from Luts. Got going down the left sideline until pushed out on their eighteen. Then Lutz followed interference right for a change, and surprised himself and everybody by running over to score. Murphy made it 9-7, and we had some hope for the first time. But from" the next kick-off. it was the same old story: their relentless march. Interrupted only by the change into the fourth quarter. And their march was stopped by another mistake In passing by Pillsbury. That interception was the turning point, almost like our boys could see Lady Luck playing with us. Here Is the funniest piece of evidence: I plunged through without the ball, half turned to take a bullet-pass from Murphy, and was hit In back just as I took the next step The ball squired into the air like a squeezed orange seed, but the tackler who hit my back and slipped off gave me enough momentum in the right di rection that I could scoop the ball before it bit the ground, hold It while the secondary defensemen took turns at cracking me. then staggered into a run. When I saw empty space ahead, their fastest men could not catch me. Murphy failed to convert, but the score of 13-9 against Long vale after their steady superiority seem ed to break tbeir hearts. They fumbled in a play or two after taking the next kick-off. and Rehmus recovered. I got away with an other lateral from Lutz. From then on. we were the superior team. We strung three first-downs together as the game ended. It is a coincidence that they led us 19-9 in first downs, and we beat them 19-9 in score. Thank you. Lady Luck Wish we could get another crack at Creighton. I would sure stay out of anybody's watermelon patch. Perhaps I should point with un pardonable pride to Gabby Chester ton's Chatter in The Indianapolis Press. He says: “We may have seen a greater power runner than Ego Igorvich of Madrid, but not

, 0 0 Modern Etiquette By ROBERTA LEE J 0 Q. Is it all right to ask "Who is this" or "What number is this.' when making a telephone call and someone answers whose voice 1 you do not recognize? A. This Is extremely 111-bred. The correct thing always to do is to ask for the person with whom you wish to speak. 1 Q. When invited to a dinner party in a restaurant or hotel, does !, one have the privilege of choosing • one's own meal? ! A. No; the host or hostess orders the meal in advance, and the guests eat what is placed before them. Q How should a girl announce - her engagement if her parents are dead? A. It may he announced ln~the I name of her brother, or her nearest relative.

In ptcp ranks this year. We fail to recall any one in college play who impressed us more, unless it was Army's great Red Heidenheim against Notre Dame. With his line leaking badly on the offense, Igorvich wax still a constant threat to the best Longvale team in years. Once, the Tigers did bottle up the Toreador star in a magnificent goal-line stand; but on the tremendous play which decided the game, the mighty Ego wax hit by at least four men who rarely miss tackles, but still got away and outran the other seven. We recall the ejaculation of Lonnie Sims at his microphone. 'Wow! What does it take to stop that boy?'” Brady is supposed to pick me up here for the Pitt-Notre Dame game, but I might ax well write until I hear his horn blow. 1 have my cleaning done, but that furnace has been acting up recently. Nothing would freeze on a day like this if it did go out. I am afraid Merle lx skillfully entangled in the web of that woman from lowa. He got a letter in the mail this morning inviting him to her home for Thanksgiving, and will stay for that week end if he can arrange an exchange of pulpits with a classmate of his in a town near where Mendenhall lives. I am surprised Merle told me what wax in the letter, because he must know that I do not like his woman CHAPTER XVII Saturday Night Have I been on the run? Disappointed Brady by cheering for Pitt, which beat Notre Dame. Got back, attended the furnace, and got ready to take Dotty to see a great picture. It took an earth quake to make the character. "Blackie Norton.” open his eyes to God. I wished out loud as we came away that an earthquake had made my brother Mike do a little such thinking before the fatal bullet bad bit him Dorothy had to think fast to get out of the logical situation in which I tried to put her with the question: “What does It take to make God real to a person as determined to do wrong as Mike?” She knew I could have said. “As Mike and Dorothy?” She went back into the play situation with the comment. ”1 lost respect for Blackie Norton as a character when be got scared into religion How much did God have to do with him finding Jeannette? If Blackie had an argument for believing In God. bow about the families of those who were killed? Didn't they pray right T I did not know there were so many brains in the little blonde bead Al! I cuulu say was. "That's one for Merle Hawley to answer."

She made me feel sick with the crack, "Hawley knows too many answers he can't prove.” "There isn't any convincing proof to those who won't believe," I got out about a block's walking later. “1 dpn't need to try anything worse than stealing watermelons to prove to me that crime doesn't pay. Mike had a jail sentence, and wasn't convinced. I am not sure that he would have been any wiser had he survived that bullet. I can believe that the universe is set up in favor of decency and against crime without having to test It any further myself." "There was a preacher hurt and his wife and baby killed in a crash with a drunken driver last Sunday morning west of Loft land. The drunk wax hardly scratched. What does that prove?” "It proves that the whole account wax not settled on the spot of the accident. In the final settlement. I'd rather be the preacher than the drunk.” She laughed cynically. “You mean that the preacher goes to heaven, and the drunk goes to hell.” "Maybe. But on earth, the Innocent has only sorrow and physical pain to bother him, while the guiltydrunk has a prison sentence and a conscience; and unless he changes, a hopelessness about the whole meaning of life and death. A week ago. Dotty, I saw my brother die. The worst part of it was not the physical suffering, but the fact that he died for an evil purpose, wasted his life; and his death left so little hope. I have seen a friend die in a mine accident, the brother of my brother's wjfe, Rosemary. Maybe it was because Joe was a good Catholic and the priest got there in time, but Joe's death didn't hit me the same way as Mike's. That's ail the proof I need to tell me that Merle Hawley knows what he's talking about." "Aw. you're too serious. Tell me about the football game at South Bend." "Or would it be easier to listen to that mullarkey your dad brought back from Germany? It flatters your nordic beauty, while my ti»st tells you you're a sinner who had 'better keep away from liquor and get right with God?” “Ivan Igorvich! If you don't quit talking like that. I'll —v— ” "You'll what? I was through with you last Saturday night, and we might as well decide right here on your front porch if we are going together or in opposite directions " "If you were through with me. why did you ask me for thia date?"

Indiana Business Index Falls Sharply 30-Point Drop In Index In October Bloomington. Ind., Nov. 23. (VP)— Indiana’s business index fell a record 30 points last month in a drop blamed on coal and steel strikes, the Indiana University business research bureau reorted today. The bureau's monthly publication. the Indiana Business Review, said manufacturing employment declined about 12 percent in a single month and stood 17 percent below’ its level of October. 1948. Non-manufacturing employment was five percent below its level a year earlier. "The effect of the work stoppages was two-fold,’’ the report raid. "Employment and production reached new low levels in three industries and declined in industries affected by the strikes." Only one industry used in the reports showed no effects of the r-trikes-the the building limestone production industry. The experts said resumption of full production in coal and steel "should bring about a rapid improvement” of business. "But probably not so rapid as the decline," the report concluded. In some North Carolina counties, over 70 percent of the farm income is represented in products raised and used by the farm household. If You Have Something To Sell Try A Democrat Want Ad—lt Pays.
