The American agriculture leader says that Europe's harvest prospects are exceeding good this year and that Yugoslavia has overcome some of the ruin from list year's drouth.

Diet And Drugs Aid In Treatment Os Cirrhosis

CIRRHOSIS, or hardefiiug of the liver, is a condition, in whir i normal, hardworking liver cells are. replaced with sear ' tiSsue which can perforin no functiuri This disease has long been tiated with drinking, i- bit »t can also occur ,in non-drinkers as well, x - ’ In former years, there was verv little which could be doe about j it, -but today it is being treated i most successfully by means of’ diet artd the new drugs, memthi-J cnine and choline, • One of the marked effects of J liver damage is the collection of fiuid in the tissues and abdominal I cavity. Varicose -or dilated veins are frequently present in the area the rectum as well as at thra point where/the esophagus the stomach. In treating this condition, it is iiuportant that the patient have] rest in bed as possible to •lo wer the demands upon the liver 1 The patient should employ a diet high* in protein, starches ana sugars in orders to protect the lty?r against further injury. The 1 amount of fat intake should be I kept at a minimum, hut should rot be absolutely restricted. *fhe newer drugs, mentioned earlier, have been used very successfully in to

Those who read or heard Ge|i. MacArthur's speech before 'the Massachusetts Legislature picked up the thought that the famojs General would like to vindicate his position by being elected president. It goes with hum|n nature that MacArthur would li|e v. “ to fire” President Truman and Secretary of State Ityan Acheson, whom he charges fired him. Fir a clear-cut decision in the nation's biggest controversary, tt|e nomination ot Gen. MacArthur ss. the Republican candidate fsr president would then jgiVe the vet<rs the opportunity to give verdict. If the GOP leaders a& unable to induce Gen. Eisenhowcgto be their standard beareA we not see why the> same men refusj to boom the colorful and forcefuj MacArthur for president. V -1 - I The Swindlers:— When Mark TwainjAvrote about I a Mississippi swindle which was ‘ without a compeer among swindles,” he went on to say that "It was perfect, it was rounded, symmetrical. complete, colossal.” Suidi eulogistic terms could hardI ly be used in describing the swindle which today seems to be without equal. It is silly, it is stupid, obvious, illogical.. But it works like a charm. It is the oild racket, usually worked by female swindlers with a woman as the victim, which begins with the story that the swind-' krs have found a large sum of money. They offer to spirt it with the vittini, but want her , to produce a substantial sum jof cash as “security” or to prove her "good faith.” Time and time again, the victim goes bank and draws out her savings and hands the money over to these perfect strangers, theni, waits eagerly while they go to get her share of the money which supposedly has peen found. Eagerly ■ she waits at.first, then anxiously, and at last knowingly. Consider the simple questions whites would expose the swindle immediacy to its intended vicAkhV strangers offer one mpney, even if they 'W.u find it? Why. should they not simply vanish into the crowd, to keep their find for Themselves? If one can believe that they have money to give away $ a stranger, why should they ‘ want more money to show good faith? Per--3u‘l>s the answer to ail these questions, the explanation of the success ot this moth-eaten old hoax, is that a person who; will beljeve that money dan be had for nothing' will bleifeye anything.

CHAPTER FORTY . ( TONTO moved slowly, practically feeling his way. As he neared /wwrlilo’s street, he moved more captiously. At last he reached the Cotner and carefully peered around. The Golden was completely silent and dark but the canopied porch held shadows where a man might hide and wait. His eyes probed at the shadows, discerned the bulk of the windows, . the door, the dark and? empty I bench. He heard Tex just> behind : him and the young puncher pressed gelose. Tonto’s back-stretchqd hand {checked Tex, and he continued to i search the porch shadows. Then rhis eyes moved to the far corner, * probed across the street. | “See him?” Tex whispered. | “The place is closed.” ? | “Weekday night,” Tex said. “None of the spreads have come Into town. Ain’t enough business to keep ’em open late.” - “Where does Overby live ?” ; “He’s got a shack over on the next street. I know the place.” | “I reckon we'd better pay him a vjisit,” Tonto said grimly. 1 He moved out into the street and his eyes searched every building- Overby need not necessarily Wait at the Golden for ,his chance ai Tonto. Almost any spot would o|fer him a hiding place, a good shot at anyone coming street, and a chance to get away., Tonto now saw that-there was a in the sheriff’s office, and Tex sajw’ it at almost the same instant. /’Hey, Tonto. How about the tewman?” \ :*Later,” Tonto said over his shoulder.. r'But he’s the law.” rSo am I.” Tonto moved on across the street, leaving Tex to figure that one out as best he coiM Tonto ghosted down the

Avrillo unusually quiet, as though Waiting and watching. Tex turned the corner and walked for several yards and 5 then halted. Tonto drifted up. “Oveir there,” Tex pointed. “That little house beneath the trees." Tonto nodded and moved ahead of Tex into the street There was ho fence before Overby’s house, the doors and windows were closed. Tonto moved to the walk, hand close: to the gun butt on his right leg. He expected anything and was quite prepared for it Tex waited at the edge of the yard, hidden in the tree shadows. ? There was no movement, no alarm. Tonto reached the door, paused and looked Around. He knocked, stepped back. In a moment he knocked again, more loudly. Tex drifted in from the walk. “He ain’t there?” “I’m not so sure,” Tonto answered grimly. JHe > palmed the Colt from the: diolster. “I’d better find out.’? \ He grjrpedJhc door , knob, turned it, placed. his-Shouldcr against the panel.

The ddor squeaked back on its hinges, opening on a blank wall of, darkness, k Tonto eased around the door frame, gun leveled, hammer dogged back, 5 He stepped into the. room and to one side in a single flawing movement that framed him against the night for only a fraction of a second, tie held his breath, listening. ■ ‘ v There was something in the silence that told him that no living

thing was here. He waited, ears and eyes strained. ’Then his muscle slowly eased. “dome in, Tex. Close the door." Tex moved as silently as a ghort. The door closed. Tonto moved to the dull white blur of a window, pulled down the blind. He felt: his way toward the Other window, struck a chair that fell over with a loud crash. Instantly Tonto froze. There \ was no movement Within the house. He was more certain than ever that Bart Overby was not here, but he had to make sure. Tonto lit the lamp. Tex remained flattened against the wall, gun glinting in his hand. He slowly pushed himself away. ' “You take more chances than the law allows. We ought to be dead by now.” • K “We’re searching the house,” Tonto said. It did not take long. There was only a cubbyhole of a kitchen and a bedroom, equally as small, to the rear of the house. A single glance at the bed told Tonto it had not been used. - “Hasn't been here all night,” .Tonto said. “Sort of clinches my idea.” ( ‘(Sure,” Tex ahd looked around. “But inhere is he?” “We’ll find him by: morning,” Tonto promised. He returned to the front room, placed the lamp on the table and blew it out. He groped to the door and opened it, leaving the house much more boldly than when he had entered. Once more Tex dropped back. Tonto walked in Along, purposeful strides to the main street. He paused there, looking up and down the sileht, dark road. He caught the glimmer of light in the sheriff’s office and, in sudden determination, walked over, j - » . \ (To Be Continued) •_ j

He straightened. “What in blazes brings you to town?” ' "Seen Bart Overby ?" Tonto said sharply. Vic looked toward the door as Tex appeared. His eyes ■narrowed. . “No, I ain’t. Say, what in hell—" “I’m charging Overby with arson and mUi’der, Vic. I aim to bring him in myself and I sure hope he resists arrest.” “Arson and Vic came bounding to his feet, searched Tonto’s grim face andfhen turned, seeking confirmation, to stare at Tex. The young puncher nodded, once. Vic plumped . down in his chair with a groan. “Ydu’d better tell ,me aibout it." Tonto‘paced back and forth in the little space before the desk as he told what had happened at the Slash S. Vic listened with growing horror. At last he finished, paused before Vic’s desk. “There it is. I’ve been looking for him at the Golden and at his place. I didn’t find him, but I reckon between the three of us we can. Any ideas?” ’ 1 , Vic asked, “What makes? you so sure Bart Overby did the job?” “What makes me sure!” Tonto (jerked erect. "Why it’s as plain as that desk!” He outlined all that had happened and his reasoning that had led hmv directly to Bart Overby. ‘‘Nothing wrong with your thinking, Tonto. I ain’t got a word to say against it as far as it goes. You might be right, but you’ve 1 got to have more than just thinking to support an arson and murder charge.” “But— * “Sure.” Vic held un his hand.

“It all fits neat and nice, and , it COmcs right down to Overby, But your brand ain’t as clear as you think it is. I can use every fact; you’ve given me, arrange it'all skiwampus and come up with another name—Ken Frick. What, about him? Don’t he fit as well as Bart Overby? Ain’t he got reasons just as strong as Bart’s ? Or maybe it’s someone else entirely. Now, do we arrest Overby or Frick—or go out huntingon a John Doe warrant? Can you actually prove anything against anybody?” ‘ Tonto stared at the’lawman.' “Now you can 'savvy why I didn’t rush out and charge Bart with Rick Staples’ murder. I think he did it, but J can’t prove a blasted thing. Just like you can’t prove Bart was at the Slash S tonight, or Ken Frick, or anyone else. That’s all th At counts, in court, son." “But it has to be —” “Tonto, get 'you? brains rounded up! A man can go on.trial for murder just once, can’t he? You can’t put a man in jeopardy twice. All right,! you and me have the same problem. We accuse Eart of the killing and he goes to trial. The case' is thrown out because we ain’t got enough evidence and Bart is acquitted. Son, even if we find the proof of the killing afterwards, and it pins everything right on Bart, it wont do us no good. He. can’t be tried again. So you wait, like I’ve been doing." \ -4 Tonto straightened and threw his arms wide in a gesture of Surrender. Tex moved away from the; door, found a chair in a earner and sank down into it. ' ■ J “Things happen fast,” he said, “and it looks like they’re all connected. There was a murder in Avrillo tonight. Sid Harper found the body behind his woodshed less’n three hours atro.”
