Sen. Taft probably wonders what his reward is for party Service. i • -O-—-O - «‘ J I The weatherman may be.giving us Squaw winter, to be followed by Indian summer. More than 4100 Decatur citizens are registered for the city election. There should be a minimum of 3,500 votes for the city candidates, for after all you should help select your public officials. o o Statistics on length of life in /the' United States, covering they first half of the twentieth century, .disclose that twenty years has been added to the average life spa_n since 1900. The average, at mid-point in the century, was 68 years. Now comes the interesting i point of speculating whether it i 1? possible that another twenty years 'might be added in the last half of the century. o ° ' President - Truman can't be blamed for the campaign being made against Sen. Taft. The hatchet is being used on the Ohio senator and announced candidate_ for the Republican presidential nomination by members pf. his. own party. The anti Taft forces are headed by Gov. Dewey who was twice defeated for the presidency and eastern bigwigs of the GOP. ——o —o —- Frank Bohnke, Democrat city chairman, has not only formed an effective and enthusiastic party organization for the city election, but has;, enrolled hundreds of workers to help get out the vote on election day. A life-long Demo- > crat, the new chairman has easily I - .. gained the confidence of workers, candidates and voters, because of hi? sincerity . and enthusiastic tpirit in behalf of the phrty and its principles.

Cpmmon Condition Thbt Is Often Neglected ?

VARICOSE veins of the rectum are known as piles or hemor- 1 rhoids. This condition is very common, and is one which is alt 4 too likely to be negldded. I One reason for this is that piles may not cause any symptoms at aTI. On the other hand, modesty prevents many from seeking medical advice, even when pain and bleeding are frequent. When the latter symptom occurs. it should never be taken for granted that the cauise i.s piles; other causes, should be ruled out eVen 1 though piles are present. x j Piles may be due to various! "causes, some of the most common L being habitual straining jin iriov. ine the bowels, frequent heavy' lifting, pregnancy, cirrhosis of the liver, or tumors of the ab-' domen causing pressure on the ~ veins. *. There are two types of piles, known as internal and external, depending upon how near they lie to the opening of the rectum. External piles become troublesome only if a clottjng of the blood occurs in the feins. Then they may become excrueiatinfcly painful. Usually, the only treatment for this: type is removal by surgery. - \ ’ j The internal type of piles -can • be relieved by applying heat in the form of warm baths, and the use bf soothing ointments to tire area. This type is very often complicated r by bleeding, infections, ulcerations. _ and cutting off of the blood supply.

Tories. Control of Cqmmona is the fortilne at stake and v with un- , employment prevalent in the country, along with scarcity of food and high- prices, cbapces are that Churchill will upset the Attlee government and /again become Premier., Probably no man in England’s history has' eyer been a more militant fighter than Churchill. o— —o ——t Congressman Ray Madden, who represents the Gary district, doesn't like the Jenner amendment to the tax law, nor the why it was put,through congress. The nniendiiient wasn’t debated* nor was there a public hearing on it. Whili? the Jenner amendment legalizes Indiana's law to open the relief rolls to public scrutiny, Madden contends that such a law unfair to the people who must accept public assistance, TheiCongressman contends that the state's law singles out the orphan, the widow and the aged ds paupers. Since the anti-secrecy provision has been legalized,! ( |there is not ipuch reason for continuing the: Special session of the. legislature, for if politics is played there is \|he chance of again endangering] the state’s position in respect to the federal law." - ! .

' J What other cOuld be found' in a collection of so many differ-] ent translations? Racked side by side on a library shelf, they make ( an impressive demonstration of) the universality of the Bible.

When thij condition exists, all straining or any factor which causes strain should be eliminated. Many good results have been obtained with the injection treatment of pileis, but certain cases do not respond to this form of treatment and surgery may be necessary. [ QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS J.M.: Whatncausesi dry skin and is there any cure for it? Ariswer: Dry skin may be dur to disturbances in the glands of ] internal; secretion, such as lack of thyrbid secetion. There may bp 1 other symptoms, such as dlryncsp ~of the hair, lack ot energy, an(i i excessive gain in Weight. / In cases of naturally dry skin these does not seem id' be muc:]: that can be done outside of applyingf« bland ointment, such as cold cybUm, to the skin once a day.

SYNOPSIS I When highly desirable Dr. Nicholas Cowan asked Dr, Mollie Brooks, his lovely coworker at Boone Hospital Group, to marry turn, she turned aim down fiat. Too smug to make a good bus band she thought, do she centered ner interest on the new young red-haired Resident Surgeon. Dr. Peter Shepherd, who nad much to learn. When Mollie was suddenly stricken with abdominal pains. Shepherd attended ner at Boone. Influenced by the evtl whisperings ot Clara Wayne. Ms landlady. Peter unfortunately made certain tests on Mollie, and although these proved negative, they nevertheless r gave rise to ugly gossip. CHAPTER EIGHT NICHOLAS jerked as if struck with a bullet when Mollie said she had been given an Ascheim-Zondek test. "A— What did you say?” •‘Look at, the chart.. ." \ He already had it in his hand; reading it, he began to chuckle, then to roar with laughter, his head back, his eyes closed, his shoulders heaving. Coldly, Mollie watched him. "Shut up," she said finally. "But this is the best joke—" •‘I suppose you know that you’re the fattier of the child?” He took out a handkerchief and wiped his eyes. “Til make an honest woman of you," he chortled. "It's not the first time I’ve ofr sered to do that.” ’fl “This Is not a Joke!” said Mollie, who was far from being amused. “Can’t you see, Nicholas, what the Group is making of this thing? That fool ordering—” "The test will be negative, darling." “How many Will know that ? And even those who do— Oh, Nicholas, can’t you do something for me?” He made a business of hanging the 'chart to the bedrail. “What ,is there one can do about gossip?” he asked quietly. "But we have to do something! How can 1 stand up before my next class of medics? Or maintain the proper nurse-doctor relationship over at Children’s land Orthopedic when I go back to work ?” “Now Mollie—” “It is serious, Nicholas. I don’t have to go out into the wards to know what is being told. A woman who gets an Ascheim-Zondek is pregnant, or could be. Negative, positive —it doesn’t make much difference.” “A positive would make a difference," he reminded her, still trying to tease her out of : her tension. She sat straight up, away from the sloping back rest. “I told you weeks ago to warn Peter Shepherd against Clara Wayne!” . she said tensely. Nicholas no longer wanted to joke. "Is she tn on this?” "Os course she’s in on it. Hazel phoned her — she brought Shepherd, and —1 didn’t hear her do it, but I am morally certain that; she suggested something that made him order that test.

ance of a doctor.*..” Mollie’s voice rose shrilly and threatened to break. ' . . Nicholas set the chair aside and came to her. He put his hands on her shoulders and pressed her back against the pillow. Then he went to the foot of the bed and cranked it flat She sobbed. i "Mollie,” he said gently, coming back to take her hand. “You’ve been sick. You’re still full of dope; you're not looking at things in good proportion.” “But, Nicholas...” "Yes. But 1 want you to calm down. I want you to ; lie there .and look at ttie ceiling. Don’t think of anything. See if you can’t regain your sense of humor.. This Is just a comedy of errors, and while it is exasperating,' you really have no call to resort to such low-grade moralizing as you’ve been doing. Now, just relax—” ' "I thought you’d help me,” she said weakly, ' j j He bent over and kissed her, tenderly wiped the tears away. “I will help,” he promised. “I’ll do whatever I can.” | < “What will you do?” vOh, I’ll think of something. Pm sure this can be fixed up.” He spoke with confidence but he was not so sure as he sounded. She had exaggerated the tragic effect of her present position, but not much. She had! indeed been pushed upon slippery ground; in her career, one false step now could be disastrous: any lengthy stay upon this dangerous ground was — undesirable. I - [ ’ 1 ' J “I’ll do something!’* he said emphatically, starting for the door. “It’s *the talk that’s bad," said Mollie weakly. “Yes, and the less talk now, the better." He paused to consider a plan which was beginning to formulate. “I’ll go to the Staff meeting where your case will come up, and see what 1 can do. You’ll rest, won’t you? And try not to worry?” \ “I’ll try," she promised. “Ahd — thank you, Nicholas." She was thankful. Grateful. Dear Nicholas. Crisp-voiced, calm, sure —always ready to help, with no strings tied to that help. He hated personal involvements and kept out of them. But for Mollie, he would attend that Staff meeting and — He did attend it, walking casually into the room, takihg a Chair, tilting it back upon two legs. Seeing him, a couple of the younger hastily recapitulated their case I presentations, hoping to attract Dr. Cowan’s favorable attention. They might have saved themselves the effort. He was interest-, ed only in abdominal cases of an emergency nature. In those he was particularly interested, asked intimate questions concerning each patient’* history and inevitably inquired whether, amona other testa.

an Ascheim-Zondek' had been made. When the answer was no, and it was negative in all instances, he said, "Thank you,” in his precise, pleasant voice, and again tipped his chair back against the wall. Gradually the other men in the room; guessed what was up. As a Staff, surgeon he had a' right to attend any Staff meeting; they had been pleased to see him come through the door; they were surprised that this great man should step down from the pedestal of, aloofness on which he had stood so long, but if he was up to what they suspected — the older doctors exchanged alert, hopeful glances. Nicholas Cowan, when he chose, could put on a snow worth attending. Thus, he had the young doctors alert, hoping that they might impress him, and he had the older ones watchful, hoping to be impressed. When Mollie’s case came up, he listened politely and then, in exactly the same tone ot mild interest which ,he had been using, he said, “Please?” “Yes. Dr. Cowan...” But the resident’s eyes were wary. “Among the tests mentioned, was an Ascheim-Zondek made?" The young doctor consulted his notes. “Yes, sir, it was.” “Why?” asked Dr. Cowan. No one blamed the resident for side-stepping. “The junior surgical resident brought the case in, sir, and ordered procedure." Nicholas' brown eyes moved to where Peter Shepherd was sitting. It was the first time he had looked toward that hapless young man. , peter now stood up, aware of what he had done and contrite. •The question," said pr. Cowan, “was why an Ascheim-Zondek test was ordered for this case." Peter rubbed his hands against his white coat. "I—l was exploring all the possibilities, sir.” “1 see. You knew that the patient was unmarried?” “Yes, sir. But—" “Quite,” said Nicholas. One of the interns drew his fingers across his throat“Do you order this test in all your abdominal emergencies?” He had already established the answer to that. “No, sir,” said Peter miserably. “Why did you decide to do it id this case?” "Well—” Peter’s face was red; every man in the room felt sorry for him. “Miscarriage was suggested to me as a possibility.” “Who suggested that to you ? The patient?” “Oh, no, sir.” “The patient was conscious?” “Yes, sit.” ’ "Did you ask her if it were possible that she was pregnant?” “No, sir. I—" (To Be Continued) , ':, J '

'Cooks' Corner' i) ' t BY MARY R. SMITH Barbecued Chicken For Harvest Meals Broilers and fryers are in heavy supply this month. And for an October barbecue' these tender birds are hard to beat. Outdoor chefs may barbecue j them whole on a spit or in holders) on a grill, or strung over the fife on wires. Glowing coals, not flames, £ive best cooking heat. As the chicken cooks, the trick is to turn often, basting with barbheue sauce. Barbecuing is done slowly ( to allow the to penetrate and season the meat through to the bone. Too much heat may make the sauce too tlflck and cause scorching before ..the meat Is done. Cook until the chicken is tender —about 45 minutes to 1% hours. You don’t have to take to tho woods or the backyard fireplace so have j a, chicken barbecue. Broiler-fryer chicekns, either split in half or cut in sihaller serving pieces, may 1 be ! barbecued slowly in a heavy frying pan on the top of the stove, or spread out in a pan in the oven. The chicken may first be floured and lightly lirowned in fat, or not, ae you prefer. There’s no special recipe for a barbecue saucer! Some it thin, and some like it thick as gravy. Some like it sweeter, hotter/ ri'cher, or more tart than others; Here’s a suggested sauce from the New York State Extension Service: > Barbecue Sauce 1 teaspoon salt ’4 teaspoon pepper. 1 tablespoon paprika. 1 tablespoon sugary ’-2 clove garlic, chopped fine. )l cup catsup. % cup lemon juice or vinegar.; ilf tablespoon Worcestershire sauce. ** - j 1 medium dnion, chopped fine.; % cup water. Mix dry ingredients, stir in liquid ingredients, and bring*to a boil. Then spoon sauce over the chicken as it cooks. Allow abuot half a cup of sauce to each pound of (chicken. When the chicken is \ tender, some cooks give it a brief 1 browning under the broiler. ■ END TO ENQ TO END (By Gilbert Seldes) (Author of THE GREAT AUDIENCE and PREVIEWS OF ENTERTAINMENT to be published by Bantam Books, Inc. this week.) This Is a “laid-end-to-end” story written in the hope of putting an end Jo (this kind of story. The figures arie not only fantastic, they are probably totally inaccurate and they’re not interesting either Way. There is, however, a tradition about this sort <>f thing which must be followed. So here goes. ' The subject is a hook called PREVIEWS pF ENTERTAIN- , MENT. It lists between 750 and Suu. items of entertainment, in the movies, radio and TV, ■ and musical plays on the road, paper-bound books (PREVIEWS is paper-bound, but is not listed) and a variety of other ways of passing the time, adding descriptive comment to each item. The longest comment is 172 words: the shortest is two words. In preparing the book, three typewriter ribbons were used," but one of them hardly counts because the mechanism that lets you shift from the (op to the bottom part of the ribboii got broken. Say 100 xaids or ribbon. More han 306 separate TV shows were looked at, totalling half a billion scanning lines. If tha number of electronically created dots that composed these lines Were laid end to end it would take between 792 and 792.3 light years to pick them up and put them back in their original order. lr- Wl' ■ s »-- 5 ■iha ?
