Rheumatic Fever Is A Cause Os Heart Disease

I RHEUMATIC fever continues to be one of the major causes of heart damage. Primarily a disease of children and yoimg adults, rheumatic fever is estimated to attack two out of every hundred school children In this country and is lpe cause of 98 percent of - ell cases of heart disease in persops under 2D years of age. . Rheumatic | fever usually comes co gradually. A child at first may feel tirfed, look pale, and pot have a great deal of energy. He may develop pain and swelling of the joints-, and * then the physician may detect evidences pt damage to the heart. It is an interesting fact that, in many cases the attack of rheumatic fever develops after the youngster has suffered from a cold or sore throat. d Certain studies seem to indicate that rheumatic fever is perhaps a form of allergy or oversensifivity to poisons formed by the hemolytic streptococci germs. Hence, any attack of sore throat with these germs could lead to the development of rheumatic fever. • ■ A number of efforts have been L made to prevent rheumatic fever by treating sore throat promptly. Os course, any child who has had one attack of rheumatic fever and develops a sore HMM shdhld

If Eddie Arcaro rides Bold again, the contest may be between his rjval, Conn McCreay, who out maneuvered him id the Kentucky classic. 11 —o—o Fort .Wayne community life will be enriched with another donation by the McMillen Foundation for a children's playground area that will be developed into one of the finest of its kind in America. A 40-acre tract of land has been donated by the Dale W. McMillen family* to the city, adjoining the present 74-acre McMillen park. The new project will be developed . over several years and will include everything from a bicycle tract to a small zoo and little T theater for the children. When * completed it will be one of the most highly useful recreational centers in the country. Fortunate are the cities having such worthy facilities available for citizens, young and old. . T , < -i . jjL— 0 o— — - 1 V Losing Weight:— Robert Quillan made an undying contribution to the lore of height s reduction when he said: “Another good reducing* exercise consists in placing both hands against the table! edge and pushing back.” It is found, for instance, that in order to lose by exercise the .weight which could be dropped by slices of bread it would be necessary to climb eighty flights of stairs. And fourteen hunderd push-ups would be required to take off the weight which could be lost by not eating three picket candy bars. J There’s a catch. When taking otfi weight by not’ parting bread or .candy, it’s not permissible to eat lemon .cream pie instead. It seems to be a sopnd medjcal conclusion, however, that it Jis easier pnd to reduce by eating less than by exercising more. And,, things being as they are today, think of the money you can save! Resuscitator Bought By Legion The rpsuscitator employed by the Decatur fire department in aiding in saving the life of Nolan Salway. who narrowly escaped drowning Sunday evening, was purchased by Adams post 43, American Legion, some time ago and turned over to the firerpen for use in such emergencies. ‘Sunday was the first time the resuscitator was used and it aided immeasurably In. saving the Monroeville lad’a life. ’I : 1

receive treatment with penicillin or one of the other antibiotics ar once. Si4ce there is a tendency for rheumatic fever to run m families |reatment with penicillin should Inot be delayed in such families, should sore throat develop. Children in these'; families who develop an acute infection of the nose and throat should be 'treated at once with the sulfonamide drugs or the antibiotics. It might eVen be a good idea when one member of ftie family develops a sore ; throat for the other members to receive the antibiotics or sulfonamide drugs as a preventive. ' Children who had rheumatic fever should, bf course keep out of contact at all times with the sick. They should be kept comfortably warhi,; receive a wellbalanced diet/ and . avoid overcrowding and chilling. All of these measures may do much to reduce the number of cases of rheumatic fever. in Chicagoi/ Laßabida Sanito give’this type of care.

CHAPTER FIFTEEN “A WONDERFUL Client," Amos Holton said sadly. “Arranging divorce settlements alone kept Us quite busy." ' They were walking toward the front of the house when McGann heard the soft shush of light feet on the thick carpet and Chary Jones came down the stairs. She smiled with regained composure, the green-brown eyes bright with excitement, and laid a hand lightly on the arm McGann extended. H- said, “Shall we Join the ladies?" “Let's. And the men, too." The gay wake struck them full as they entered the art gallery where it was centered, apparently in conformity with Tompkins’ instructions. Now blue smoke stood in layers across the luxurious room. The seven lovely paintings glowed softly down from the walls and new light brackets lent aid to their struggle against the smoky Their entrance failed to interrupt an animated babble that rose from a score of men and women Who stood or sat in the room. Over in the corner a white-jacketed bartender was vigorously shaking a cocktail. The clinking of the ice was an off-beat to the music of the strolling troubadours who were working on "You Can’t Marry Ten Pretty Girls." \ ' “An oldie," McGann said. “I’ll bet Tompkins ordered it." He hummed along with the guitar and accordion. “He died trying,” he said. Her hand tightened on his arm. s ‘Td like a cigarette, please." He held a light. Her full Ups closed oyer the cigarette, left a bright red smear as they came away. A lot of the guests were admiring the various portraits and McGann turned Chary toward her own. They looked at the serene face with its faint smile. “Lovely girl,'’ McGann said. “Wa should meet and start making beautiful Muzak together." Her shoulders moved. “Perhaps It can be arranged. I’d suggest you take her for a ride in the park.” “Not unless < get to drive the horse." He looked around. A waiter in a short white jacket was slowly moving their way. McGann recognized Dink Wexton’s lopsided grin. He grinned back at the reporter. “I'truat your card is paid up in the waiters* union?” "Local 802,55 Wexton said. “We may Strike any minute for mort money and shorter women." Chary Jones Ustened to this exchange with a look of resigned calm. McGann introduced Wexton as an acquaintance in whose career he was interested. “He worked his way up from a- busboy,” he said proudly. “It-proves that anything is possible In America." “Really T” Chary Jones said. “Now inspiring." She smiled and then moved gracefully away to took at the Kathleen Rogers* portrait ‘ ■ Wexton jerked his head toward the bartender. “That’s Hymie, my photographer. He’s got a Leica under the bar. When they're not looking he'll start shooting." M c Q|n£

said. He was really impressed, “Where’s the help Holton thought he was hiring?” Y' / “We gave them the night off at triple time." There was a Commanding cough behind them. Wexton said, “Here comes Counselor Jerk." Holton had a light grip on the elbow -of a willowy blonde. He gave' Wexton a sharp look. “There are other guests, you know." The reporter said, “Yes, sir," and moved on. Holton told the blonde, “Miss Mars, this is Mr. McGann, the detective who is going to find the murderer of poor Mr. Tomp“How exciting," Miss Mars said languidly. Her black gown was cut so low that McGann was afraid to look. The fingers holding the cocktail glass were heavy with jewels. “This is really an amazing coincidence," she added with more interest. "My lahst picture was a murder mystery — 'So Evil, MJ I do hope you saw it.” I McGann shook his head sadly. "My doctor has forbidden me to attend the cinema,” he said. “The features are all right but the trailers are too exciting.” Chary Jones came back and he introduced the women, who looked at each other with undisguised curiosity. “I’ve seen a lot of your pictures, Miss Mars,” Chary said. “I thought, the one with Boyer was mar* veldus.” “Sweet,” Miss Mars said. “Isn’t she sweet, Amos?” Holton agreed that Miss Jones was definitely, sweet, McGann squeezed Chary's arm and insisted that he be allowed to vote, too. They drifted toward the center of the room where a blonde in a red dress was talking animatedly with a darkly handsome man. She* reached up and rubbed her palm along his cheek and by the gesture McGann recognized Irma Nelson. When she turned he saw that her face was flushed and her eyes were unnaturally bright. Irma seemed principally interested in Gladys Mars. She threw up a hand in exaggerated welcome. “Well, Well, well,” she said, “if it isn’t Clara Kimball Young! How’s everything on the old Essanay lot, Clara? How’s Wally Reid?” Gladys Mars smiled warmly. 'lrma, dahling,* she said. “The moment 1 saw you I said What’s missing?’ and now I know. Your tray, ; dahling. Where /is your tray?'” “If I had one — around your neck," Irma sniffed and turned her attention to Amos Holton. McGann could not tell whether she overlooked him by accident or design. The dark, handsome man to whom she had been talking came over close to him and held out his hand slyly as if offering a bribe. “My name is Spanish,” he said. "Solly Spanish.” The tone was warmly confidential. This was inside stuff. Spanish tilted his glistening black head toward a laughing group in the “These Citizens kill me. How can they be like this? The man’s dead, right? So they should tone it down a little, right?" ' McGann introduced himself but be «hrugged off the question- “A

The snow was short; lived, but it is believed to be the heaviest May snow ever recorded Jn this vicinity.

lot of men their friends to celebrate instead of mourn,” he said. “This is the sort of blowout . Tompkins would like. He must be here in spirit." ‘ Spanish’s eyes showed white as his gaze slid around the room. "Go easy on that stuff, win ya, i chum? I mean let’s stick to what i we know for sure.” He took a fine s linen handkerchief from his breast t pocket and dabbed at his chin. I “Okay," McGann said. “What do k we know for sure?” Spanish had , nervously placed the handkerchief I aiskew and McGann reached over casually with -a forefinger and poked the white triangle farther I down into the picket. The movement told him what he had wanted I to know—Spanish had a gun th a shoulder holster. “What I mean,* McGann said, “is that while I don’t believe in spiritualism exactly, one i must always be prepared sos all eventualities, mustn’t ohe?” j “You said it, chum," Spanish agreed eagerly. An immaculate cuff flashed as be laid a hand across his breast “Me, I’m just a New York boy trying to get along, right ? No rough stuff!” ' “Right” \ The smoke in the room grew heavier, the beat of the music on “A Pretty Girl Is Like a Melody" was steady, insistent. McGann saw Hope Harmon in the corner demonstrating how she used to do the Showgirl slink to that one. She Still had a beautiful figure. Frazier Farwell was in the grqup watching her. He held only a cigarette. McGann thought, Maybe he really meant *never again.* A girl with bluish hair detached herself from the crowd and began to make her way across the room. McGann angled to head her off. “Miss Rogers ?” She started and turned. She was wearing red-rimmed harlequin glasses but he could see that as in the portrait her eyes were big and sad. In her hand she held a long, red cigaretteholder. “Yes?” He told her his name and she seemed td recognize it. “You could help me," he said ingratiatingly. “Really?” The eyes behind the upturning glasses were alert with suspicion. “Hdw?" "Were you; at home yesterday about six-thirty?” "Six-thirty?" A pale hand fluttered to the blue ringlets. “Why ... I believe so. Yes. I was getting ready to go out about -that time.”. t \ "Splendid." McGann dropped his voice to a confidential level. “I understand your bedroom windows are across the court from the Tompkins study. Did you notice any activity over here then ?” “Activity 7” She looked about as if hoping that something would occur to provide an escape. Then, “Why should I be looking over* here ?” McGann shrugged. “Quite accidentally, I mean. Or you might ’ glance out to see what’s with the weather. You know." I For /a moment she stared silently. “Mr. McGann, when I am gettifig dressed to go out, my blinds are closed. See what you can make of that." She glided away, (To Be

Herschel D. Newsom, master of the National grange, said the program is motivated fa' politics rather than a sincere effort to curb inflation. Other organizations criticizing the program were the National Council of Farmer Cooperatives, the National Milk Producers Fede ration and the American Farm Bureau Federation. The National Farmers Union endorsed the general principles of price controls, but said it is "opposed to pseudoprice stabilization that freezes farm and labor income, yet allows industrial and business profits to grow.” ; ' The senate and house . banking committees are holding hearings on the administration’s request for a two year extension beyond June 30 for tougher wage, price, credit and
