Helping Victims of Paralytic ! Strokes to Help Themselves !

By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.D. < MANY people who have had \ paralyzing strokes can regain the use of hands and limbs with the proper treatment and physiotherapy. But, of course, all this treatment must be carried out under the direction of a doctor to obtain the best results. Such people should be as active as possible, using one hand when they cannot use two. Special implements are made to help them do this. Wrong Attitude Too often a patient with a paralysis feels he is doomed for life and will never regain his normal activity. Not only is this attitude wrong, but it keeps him from making the real progress possible for him. Thatis why it is so important to help these patients develop a will to get well, and be- , lieve in their\ability to help themselves. Os course, some patients may not recover the use of their limbs as completely as, others; some may not recover, at all. But effort is an extremely important factor in any Improvement. This effort Is important in everyday activities, which may give much trouble to a person who has had a ■stroke. Showers Recommended An example of a difficult task for one who has had a stroke is getting In and out of a bathtub. Therefore, showers are recommended instead of tub baths. It may be well to put a small bench or chair ,ln the shower stall so that the patient may wash himself more' easily while showering. If an attack has paralyzed the

The Indiana Boys School at Plainfield is one of the outstanding institution s of its kind in the J country and Hoosier citizens have a right to feel proud of the institu-; tion’s accomplishments. It Is in \ IK/ sense a penal institution. It is a vocational training school, with a full academic curricula. t Most boys who have been rest-| dents of the school make good in business and maintain a high level of citizenship. More than £ I 1 1 jT, L'Tt l 500 boys are enrolled and if that number seems too high, it is be- ■ cause local communities may be at fault in not helpink tb properly train the boys in the first place. j <•’’ I ! > ’ 7 . ’ — O ; rTTHh . j Duty Os Electors:—• Candidates for presidential elector cannot be pledged beforehand to vote for any particular candidate, the Alabama Sitprthie Court has ruled. In a TenuedSep elector chosen on the Truman ticket announced after election that he was going to vote for Gov. Thurmond, a proceeding unfair to > \ '’L i'- ' It I those who had trusted him. In 1892 the Populists won two electoral votes in. North Dakota to the Republicans’ onei :■ when the ■ electoral college met, bine of the ; two Populist electors voted for ; th. Democratic nominee- Grover : Cleveland. Neither in 1&92 nor in 1 : ■ i ; L • ! ’ ' ' I IMS did this brVaeh of faith affect the result. i .i j . | In the disputed Hayes-Tilden eketion of 1876, Tilden had 184 j undoubted electoral votes | to Hayes’ 166, with 19 uncertain. The suggestion was made that since Tilden had a large popular ' plurality, some Republican elector ■ : 1 : ' I■ ■■ h'Mil ■[ i 8 - i I should switch to him and settle ’ the controversy. Particular pressure was put on the poet.’ James * ?■ ' : ' i i 1 Russell Lowell, a Hayes elector i from Massachusetts* |to vote for Tilden. He declined to do so, saying that he had been jchosen < - ' under the presumption that he ! tyuld be counted on ‘to vote for i Hayes, and he, would , not break faith.

leg and arm on the same side, the afflicted person should endeavoi to do things without ustog these parts. It is helpful If the patient does not have fastenings on his clothing that require the use of both hands. Buttons and snaps!! are usually easier to manage than zippers. Pre-tied elastic! shoe laces enable the person to put on his shoes with one hand. ’ Combination knife-and-fork sets are also available. They usually have a curved blade, since a rocking motion Is easier than the straight sawing motion of a regular knife. Writing Problem Writing may be a problem If the .writing hand is paralyzed. people can learii with the other hand. If tins gives difficulty, it may be found convenient to use a typewriter with a one-hand keyboard. | The paralyzed housewife should carry on a healthful program of housework. One-handed household utensils are on the market or can be made easily. There are also patented devices for holding playing cards. For those unable to walk, special wheel chairs with one-arm drives and brakes and other helpful features are available. ; A stroke may get yoix down, but don’t let it keep you down! QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS B. A. P.: Is cancer contagious?’ I am really worried because I have been sharing my food with a person who has cancer. | Answer: There is no evidence i that cancer is contagious.

CHAPTER THIRTY-THREE “WE SEEM to have been missing each other all aay,” Kaiming greeted him as Liddell entered! He waved the detective to a chair. "Was there something important you wanted me for?" ? Liddell sank into the chair, shook his nead. “Returning your call. By the way, how did you know where to find me?” Haiming shrugged, smiled. "You ha*e been making inquiries in Chinatown. Naturally, that comes to my ears” Liddell nodded glumly. "If I had been able to reach you. wouldn’t have had to go through all the motions." “You sound tired. Perhaps if we had some refreshments ?’? Kaiming clapped his hands and the doll-like little Chinese girl steppeji into the rbom. “Some bourbon and water, Fah Soo,* Kaiming told her. ■, Fah Soo bowed her head slightly, smiled at Liddell, stepped back through the concealed door in the panehjig. “Now,\perhaps you would like to tell me what you have been trying to find tn Chinatown?" Kaiming suggested. He found a cigaret, stuck it in his holder, tilted it from the corner of his mouth. “I’ve been trying to find where the Fan Tan game is going on," Liddell growled. “Do you know?” Kaiming frowned slightly, snapped his lighter into flame, touched it to the end of his cigaret. “I know. But 1 do not think it would be wise for you to attempt to crash it.” “Co u I dn’t you okay me through ?” The tong leader shook his head. “Unfortunately, no. Let me explain. You know something of tong organization? You may know that today pur tong has not the power here in the East that it icnjolys in the West where our mutual friend Eddie bung is all power! u!.’*

I had to kill the bodyguard in seif defense.” “I see.” There was no change in Kaiming’s expression. His dark eyes studied Liddell, then dropped as the private detective returned his gaze. “And all this killing Is connected with the case on which you are working?’ 4 “They’re all part of the same pattern.” Kaiming sighed. “It seems difficult for me to see bow the death of a friendless and unknown Chinese could be connected! with the deaths ot a society figure and a hired-gunman.” “You’ll have to take my word for it.’’ \ Kaiming shrugged. “As you say. But suppose this man who told you where the woman is hiding lied to you?” .I ’ I > Liddell shook his head. "He wouldn’t. I had too much of a lever on him.” , “Brin?” Kaiming shrugged- "According to the newspapers he was wanted by the police for the murder of Lunfar. What has such a man to tose?” .V. H "Nothing. But he had plenty to gain." < ' .fr “Muchas?” - ; Liddell said, "I could hav a* cleared him of that murder charge. Brin didn’t kill Lunfar.” Kaiming raised his eyebrows. “But the gun.

Liddell followed the girl through four other rooms to a huge, barred door. “This will lead you through, to. another square," she told! him. “You will descend the stairs, arrive safely on the street. You will not be bothered.” She lifted the heavy cross bar on the door, opened it noiselessly. Liddell walked through, found himself facing an old, paint-peeled door similar to the one he had entered through. He opened the door, descended a flight of rickety steps, passed through into the cool, fresh air of the street a block removed from the grocery store through which he had entered Kaiming’s office. A thin, stoop shouldered young Chinese looked up as Johnny Liddell entered the office of the Hat S’oy Yen Trading company. He peered at him through thick lensed glasses. “You wish to: see somebody, sir?” His voice was singsongy, shrill. "I’m a friend of Jimmy Kaiming. He told me somebody would be expecting me here." The Chinese nodded his head several times. "I have been expecting you, sir." He signaled for an elderly Chinese to take his place at the books he had been paring over. ”1 have had my instructions. You will please come with me." He led the way to the street, passed a group of stored! stopped in front of one store whose windows Were piled high with a miscellany of junk, inside, a man was sitting at « white; enameled kitchen table that served^as a desk, painting Chinese Characters on an ©ranger sheet of paper.
