Extensive Rest In Bed May Prove Harmful

THE ficJ«tely.-slck person belongs in hed at complete This fact 1 should not, blind us. to the further fyict that bed rest is not ah i *unrriix6d benefit.. For some time noi. physicians have been finding to ’extended bed reSt ; and the question has recently', raised, as to whether it may hot.' when continued for three weeks . or more, actually result' hi interference \ with the normal, working of the heart and Other organs. An attempt has been made to find'an answer through observing exactly, i what happens whiting; a long period of bed For this experiment. six healthy young men volunteered to serve as guinea jhgs.v Before beihg put to bed for itthree_wjeeks, they\ were given special physical. conditioning. Ther’eafter they had six'weeks of reconditioning. An .expensive set of tests, wat\ carried , (jut to -determine' what changes. ;if aify occurred in the. I ody ■ ■ fitfructures. It was found that thd most striking cliang« took pla<T in the heart ahd blood * xeseis, and "that this .change was In -the direction of less e|fi<;ient action- <||r the part of the heart. For example, the amount of oxygen used:by tlje body was reduced by about 16 per cent by the end of the rest, period \Recovery to _ normal Required from three to five .sjyeeks. While these people \ ,ere at rest in bed, the heart rate decreased'. * After resuming physi ciii activity, ther<’ was a marked increase in the hefirt rate.

Former President Hoover in his isolation stand, but as one editor commented, “Taft has made so many speeches the past few jweeks, no one seems to understand his foreign policy.” Dewey is taking party leadership away from Taft and is unalterably opr posed to Mr. Hoover’s stand, which the New York Governor de“Operation withdrawal is Operation suicide.” I O ——o ‘ ' T~i 'f ' . Music lovers rejoice In the state recognition given tire Decatur G.E. Aeplian choir, which has been invited to s|ng hi the first annual state musical festival at University on May 6. Leadings choirs in the state will participate in the concerts, will attract visitors from a tri--■i , ' j ■' state area and musicians of national note. The ibeal choir is directed by David Embler and since its organization has become one of the most outstanding musical gioupsin the ihidivest?' Decatur is highly honored in having such a group of musicians in its midst and fully" appreciates their artistic worth. With a song here and there, life becomes a little WeeV er for music is the expression of the soul. J , ~ pl i Capital punishment would be fe: bidden in Indiana, if a bill introduced in the state sqna\te becomes law-. The bill provides for tlie outlawing of the death pena’ty. It is not a case of softI ’ ’ll' nrartedness to oppose capital punishment. In this age, the reading of an execution sounds more or less revolting to the average person. There are many criminals who deserve capital punishment, but executing the guilty does not lessen these hbinous crimes. Society would be just as well protected to substitute full life sentences for those who deserve the extreme punishment Several states already toroid capital punishment and to do so in -Indiana would be a step in Christian path in dealing with our more violent criminals.

the circulation. h\.j Lowered Blood Presure There is .no evidence that the lowered ( blood pressure and 'reduced use of oxygen, which took place during bed rest, hetkjn any way to protect the patient against disease. I Additional, studies are needed to find out whether or not bed rest, even when a patient has fever, is really advisable. In acute heart conditions, such as coronary fhbmbosis, in which a blbod c'bt forms in one of the arteries supplying the heart n\usqle with blood, hed rest, in order to reduce Ihe strain on the heart would stam to be important. But, in the case of acute and chronically ill patients-, further studies must be made to determine just how much, bed \rest is advisable. I QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS F. L.: lam 18 years old and weigh fts pounds. Is there any 1 need for” me to gain weight? I am lvery thin. Answer: It is important for you t<. have an examination nifide by 7b u r physiciani to determine whether you arc) really underweight and are suffering from poor nutrition. The normal weight depends to a great 'extent on body bpl|d. In order to gain * weight. it is necessary to slow up by exercising less and relaxing more, as well as sleeping more at night and taking .1 rest period during the day. A diet, -high in calories and containing concentrated foods, such as meats, rich sauces', milk, gravies, drawn fruiter sauce cream, and cheese, should be employed. The c'let should also contain amounts of stardhy foods, such as cereals, bread, and potatoes. 'course, th'e diet should be well balanced, including \enough' vegetables ;md fruit to give the necessary vitamins, minerals, tad bulk. j . ' ' ' ■ ... A' \ V

CHAPTER THIRTY-TWO GAMADGE peered out into the street, emerged from his niche, and walked down to the corner. Rounding it, he saw a stocky light* haired young man at the wheel of a small blue car. Shad gave him a brief smile, and raised one finger in salutation from the wheel. Gamadge walked uptown to his garage, got his car out, and drove it home. He went through his office into the laboratory, hufited about there in files and cabinets until he found a leather case, sat down ahd opened It. It was' a legacy from Harold Bantz, when that all-around craftsman had retired into research chemistry and family life. Harold had demonstrated the use of the little Implements within it, and Gam&dge began to practice with them on the older type of lock in the laboratory and-the office. He went upstairs and pursued his attempts there, ending with a successful attack on Miss Mullins* ancient steamer trunk. It bore some foreign labels, which Gamadge was sure she cleaned fin d varnished whenever they showed signs of wear. He locked the trunk, looked ' around for other fields of conquest, passed over Miss Mullins* nice new suitcase, and went back downstairs. Clara telephoned. Did Theodore understand that Gamadge was to have a nice lunch alone, since the latter wouldn’t Join the party sit the G|iildford? ; Theodore did. \ “Bob Macloud is here already, Henry, And they’re having a wonderful time.

He answered it in the library. “You’re punctual, Mr. Venner," said Gamadge I •-! “That’s my reputation." “And you sound happier than you ought to be.” “Quite happy. My answer is, publish and be damned. You know who said that ?” “The Duke of Wellington; to a blackmailer.” “I’m not surprised that you know: I’ve been locking you up. You’re working for one df the others, aren’t you?" i “Yes.” I "I don’t much think you’ll explode any bombs, Mr. Gamadge. Too difficult in the circumstances to fix the blame. / might be working for them, you know. Well, it was a good try." “Mr. Venner, let me warn you again. Don’t let your principal take you for a ride, or make toffee for you in the' solitude of the home, or push you out of a window. Beware of precipices, disguised blunt instruments and electrified bath water.” Venner laughed. “I’ll be careful." “Mr. Venner, I’m sorry to say* It, you’re a fooL” Gamadge had hardly replaced the receiver when the 'telephone rang again, “Mr. Gamadge ?

Make your next report to him.” Gamadge went downstairs, picked Up his hat and topcoat from the chair in the front hall, and left the house. He got into his car and started for the third time on the trip north. \ 1 There was a pearly haze on the river this afternoon, and a rosy and amethyst light hung over the wooded banks towards Nyack like a premature sunset The sky above the Coldfield house was filmed with cloud.

Here’s he number.” Gamadge supplied It. •You can get me here for the next lour, say. [But I’D try to ring you before 1 leave.” “I might be ringing you myself.

He bent to the lock, and after a moment it snapped open with a click that brought Agnes to his side. “That’s the. one, sir, sure enough." “Seems to be. ” He raised the lid. Both of them stood gazing down at a carefully packed top tray. Agnes said faintly: “Is them hers?" ( "You don’t recognize anything ?” “Never saw them in my I i|f e. That’s mink, isn’t it?” “Here, let’s get some of the stuff out." “This trunk here Is dusted," said Agnes, giving it an extra swipe with her apron. Gamadge piled garments one after the other into her waiting arms: a full-length mink coat, a short White-fur Jacket, a set of silver fox, a pink costume trimmed with bands of beaver. He lifted the tray out, and delved further down. “Shot-silk dress," he said. “Cocktail dress, would you say? Boy, look at the label. Here’s an evening thing, gold and silver. Summer dresses. And underneath, sure enough, at the bottom, the riding clothes and boots, and Mr. Coldfield’s waders." " “Can’t you find Mrs. Glendon’s coat, sir ?" “Na Here, let’s get these things back again.” Agries, panting, folded them “But Who do they belong to, sir? Mrs. Glendon never—” “How much would they be worth, should you say, Agnes ?’’ “Oh, sir, I don’t know.” “Just look at where they all came from; I’ve heard my wife say a thing or two. And those furs — and the coat. As near ten thousand dollars as makes no matter, minus perhaps a little something for expenses." Agnes straightened to look at him, )a thought striking her. “It wouldn’t be Miss Susie’s trousseau, sir?” 1 ■ “Well, don’t they seem to have been worn?" Agnes nodded, and replaced the last of them tn a daze. At last she said, “Lock it up good, stt: it’s supposed to be safe against the moths when it’s locked." I ■ Gamadge pushed the hasp Os the lock in, and snapped the side fastenings. He said, “Mrs. Glendon made a mistake. No mink in her philosophy." j Wheels sounded faintly on gravel. Agnes went to one of the low windows and looked out. “It’s a cab—Mr. Ames has come home." “Good. I’ll g<f down with you and meet him at the door." But Gamadge [(Withdrew into the drawing-room while Agnes letAmes Coldfield into the house. He replaced his key in his pocket, spoke to Agnes, and then looked up and saw the visitor standing just beyond the doorway on the left. ’ . J T ' ! ' His coat half-way off, Ames stared.

“Na I came up fora word with you." . Agnes looked puzzled, took the coat, and retired with it and Ames’ hat to the back of tije bait Ames said, “Always glad to see you, of course,* and led the way back through the drawing-room and the library to his den. There he turned. - “Anything special that I can do for you?" “Special, yes.” Ames walked over to the French window, and stood looking ouL He said, “Curious and beautiful light effects at this time ot the year; but 1 always think there’s a desolateness about the early spring; the chill in the air." He stepped back a little, and moved to the cupboard on his left without looking at Gamadge. “A little brandy?” he asked. “Not for me. You might not 1 care to offer it to me when we’ve had our talk." I Still with his back turned, Ames got out a decanter and a glass, filled the tiny bell, and drank the brandy off. Then at last he faced Gamadge, but kept his eyes averted as he came over to tlhe health. He befit and touched a match to the fire. ' j '1 ' "Might as well be comfortable,” he said. “No need to sit freezing. Well, Mr. Gamadge." He straightup, the cold blue eyes were on Gamadge's now. “More trouble about my sister-in-law?" Gamadge met the stare with one as cold. “I bring it to you as head of the; family. Poetic justice, Mr. Coldfield.” He put his band into the side pocket of his coat,'? and brought *tt jout with a folded paper in it. “It you hadn’t betrayed her when she came to you, if you’d accepted her word and allowed her to go, this’’—he laid the blue envelope on the table between them —“would eventually have been lost or thrown away.” Ames leaned over to look at it. When he raised his head, his [face was mottled, patched with redj the face ot an old man. He said in a whisper, “If it’s her revenge, it’s an ugly one.” ' “You still underrate her," said Gamadge. “She’d never use it as you seem to think she would.” Ames pointed at it. “Where?” he asked, searching Gamadge’s eyes. r “It was in her > husband’s cross- ' word book." There was a long silence. Then Ames said in a di :fferent voice, “1 see.” “Where the others are, she doesn’t know.” ’ I “We know where the letters are.” said Ames dryly. “And it’s due to my own cursed folly that they weren’t destroyed.” He hkd recovered himself a little. ”1 more or less gather that you exonerate me in the matter of the theft?” His smile was only a slight grimace. twisting up a corner of his lip. “Yes. You seem to have wanted information about the sale yourself . . Aines watched him, always with the smile. “And I have other reasons for exonerating you.” (Tq Be Continued) j i I
