A new method of blending concrete with plastics has been discovered which is said to increase the lite of roads and streets payed with it. Such a discovery, if practical, might mean the saving of njhny dollars to taxpayers in areas where street and road repair are a constant source of expense. Many new developments are net practical for use in all municipalities. But it is well to be aware that there are new methods of road building, new processes to protect the public health, new and better ways to improve the community. ■' .1 - Illinois has the spotlight this week as Republican voters will decide who they want for their presidential candidate. Sen. Taft and j Harold Stassen are entered on the regular ballot and a campaign is . being made by Eisenhower's supporters for a write-in vote for. the General. This is permissable under the state law. Stassen is attacking Mr. Taft as young Gov.

Children's Digestive Disease

By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.B. SOMETIMES a child's digestive system cannot handle fats and carbohydrates, or starches, or both. This gives rise to a set of complaints known to doctors as the celiac syndrome. As a rule, it appears before the baby is a month old. These children do not seem to get nourishment from the food they eat, and show signs oj malnutrition, such as stunted growth. The abdomen appears large and swollen. The bowel movements are another Important, sign. These are bulky and have a very foul odor. First Symptoms The first symptoms are usually the foul, bulky movements, and a cough. As a rule, the child fails to gain weight normally, and frequent adjustments of the formula do not generally help. A laboratory test can be made of the bowel movement to help Identify this disease. Normally, the stool contains 20 to 35 per cent fat, but in this condition it may contain as much as 75 per cent.' . \ A. _ In most cases of celiac disease, the proper treatments clear up the cough, and there is no serious infection of the lungs or bronchial tubes. If a child is fairly sick, it may be necessary for him to take fluid* through a veto a-xid

i - - - ' d r j Lodge of Connecticut campaigns the state, comparing Gen. Eisenhower with Abraham Lincoln. Backed by the regular Republican organisation, plus the support Os Col. McCormick, political observers believe that the Ohio senator will gather up a majority of the delegates. Next week, the Taft-Eisenhower-Stassen contest shifts to New Jersey, ? -o—o-— | The Price Os Peace:— Maintaining a large military force and keeping it equipped with the most modern weapons is an expensive task, f It, is impossible to predict how long the present crisis will lasi since* Russia gives no Indication of becoming! easier to get along with. Americana are naturally against keeping up large armies, and once the strength reaches its peak there will be a tendency to slack oft and return t® an easier way o| living. Yet America is a country cap* able of self discipline and able to, do everything .it needs to do to defend its freedom. If this calls for full mobilization for many years, r. then that is the way it will have | to be. We want peace. | America does not/initiate war, and as long as it can remain string it is safe from attlack. The price of peace is preparedness. I ' Road Manners:— As daylight spills over into the evening hours and the tempera- • tures cljmb upward, the lure of the open road will become strong* er and stronger for the Amerb can motorist. As we take more and more to the highways] the accident rate will begin to • mount. Death and destruction will take over the highways again. Tht accident rate is inexcusable. it represents a terribly waste of life and property at the time when the nation should be conserving its resources. Many motor vehicle accidents are unnecessary. Right now they are sinful. < \ ‘The appalling accident rate will be reduced only when drivers begin to act on the highway as they do in their business and persona} associations. They need to learn consideration for each other and that a little speed is not worth the risk it entails. Americans are decent, kindly people. Certainly when they realize the pain and suffering inflicted by careless and discourteous driving they will try to act considerately on the road. The Golden Rule applies there,’ too, .

to have blood transfusions and antibiotic drugs. The right diet is very important in correcting this disturbance. It, should contain liberal quantities' of vitamins. Protein milk is cor-i rect for the formula or early diet, and the child can usually digest it most easily. Skimmed milk with banana powder is also very helpful. The older child may be fed scraped beef, tomato juice, mashed banana, cottage cheese, and gelatin. As the child improves, meats J « chicken, lamb, liver, and certain vegetables may be added and, finally, toast. ; This condition may hang on ] for a number of years, but even-1 tually almost all children with; celiac disease get well. But several years may elaspe before the child can eat a normal diet amt grow in a completely normal way. i QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS I O.

SYNOPSIS i 1 Henri Lemay, a frugal bachelor of Charleston, 8. C., and nis spinster sistar, Helolse, had managed to send their >rphaned niece. Leonie Hughes, through a .fashionable school at Baltimore. Md. She is about to graduate and return home to them and to a more abundant life, perhaps. A long delayed family legacy may now in this year pt 1914. be released to the Lemays, Henri ts socially ambitious fdr his niece. He hopes and prays that she has outgrown attachment for Lincoln Calvert, a local boy grown to handsome manhood, an agricultural school graduate, ambitious to become a scientific farmer, i The Calverts are Unionists and Henri despises them. Joseph Newman, a back woods' boy with a golden voice, is among Leonia's admirers. Eventually, he hopes to sing with the opera. But secretly Henri dreads the day when this cherished girl shall be taken from him in marriage, for he himself loves her possessively. Lincoln Calvert's popularity with Charleston's first families grows, and Henri’s rage mounts. But petty annoyances vanish on the great proud day of Leonia's graduation. There on the campus at Baltimore. Henri meets the wealthy McDevitt family, whose daughter. Leonie's close friend, also is graduating. p CHAPTER ELEVEN • LEONIE left Henri in the sitting room with his thoughts. Looking at the throngs of girls and their relatives coming and going, he felt sorry for Leonie, with no female relative to help her over the details of leave-taking. As often in the past, he had a sense of having deprived the child of something which could never be compensated. “Well, there you are,* Leonie said,, interrupting his regretful mediiations. “1 was afraid one of the girls might steal you,** She was wearing a gray coat suit with a voluminous long skirt that covered all but the tips of her high-laced brown shoes. She indicated the small bag at her side. "Everything's packed and \ the luggage is checked and we’re all ready to see Sister Immaculate,” she declared. “Let’s go and get it over with.” >, ' Henry took her bag and they walked over to the main building. They waited their turn for a few minutes and then entered the office, where Sister Immaculate sat at her desk. She said politely: “Leonie has great possibilities, Mr. Lemay. 1 only nope she isn’t going to forget us. She nas a fine mind, and, I’m going to remember her in my prayers. I’ll ask Our Blessed Lady to watch ever her.*' She turned to Leonie, who sat in embarrassment at these commendations. “Leonie, my dear child, always remember that if you want any advice you can always write to me. And now good-bye, my dear child, and God bless you." { She embraced Leonie, said a pleasant word or two to Henri, who bowed, and they were ushered OUL “A fine woman,” Henri said, feeling called upon to make a pronouncement. I, Leonie shrugged. *T suppose so. But ahe’s narrow, and she can he very catty, too." She took Henri’s arm. “Now, Uncle," she said, “we can have some time to ourselves and talk. 1 want to hear about everything.” Until'that afternoon, Henri had not eaten in a restaurant in years. Not since he had first brought Leonie to college. To impress Leonie with his worldly wisdom, he was masterful toward the waiter and finicky in his choice of dishes, and although the hotel’s food was moderately priced, he managed to run up a substantial bill.

Sipping his coffee now, Henri asked: Who are these McDevitts, Leonie ? Are they related to the people who used to live on Ashley avenue?” « Leonie considered the question. “Oh, you mean the ones with that old broken-down carriage that they rode around in until it almost came apart on King street? No, these aren't the same McDevitts at all. They have lots of money." ,> Henri shrugged'off the money. "And what does this gentleman do?” he inquired. “I never could find out,” Leonie said. “Estella’s sort of closdmouthed about IL 1 think, though,\ that he’s a gambler.” | • “You mean,” Heiiri asked, quivering, "that they accepted a gambler’s daughter at SL Catherine’s college?" “I suppose they had the money to pay.? Tm afraid living in the North has influenced you to think about things a little differently," Henri said. "No one in the Lemay family ever associated with gamblers. I hope this gyirl hasn’t taught you cyard games.” “Now, Uncle, I didn’t say Estella was a gambler, did I? It isn't something you inherit." “We11.,1 don’t know," Henri said, considerably shaken. “I should think that would put ap end to any idea of your going to visit them. I don’t think your aunt would allow IL” "Everybody in Charleston is so righteous," Leonie said. “And as for what you say about Hiving tri the North,' people in Baltimore consider themselves Southerners.” “But they have no right to," Henn said stiffly. "They're just getting above themselves.” •*Northerners,” Leonie said, anxious to divert the argument, “have funny ideas about Southern Ute. There was a girl from Philadelphia, Anna O’Halloran, and she said to me that it must be wonderful to live on those big plantations." "You must remember," Henri said, "that they haven’t had bur opportunities for culture.”, “There were one or two fairly nice girls from Boston,” Leonie said. “I think they were related to the Lowell and Cabot families, or so they said." “I never heard of tit er/’ Henri said. “1 suppose they are rich mill* owners.” “They seemed to have nice man- - “Os course, there must be excep* tions,” Henri but not without a doubtful intonation. “And, speaking of Northerners, Miss Antoinette is going to have paying guests in her house." “That sounds like a good Idea. She needs the money, and there’s certainly no use of her rattling around that great big empty house.” ”She’s worried about what people will say.” “Everybody gets back to that,” Leonie said. “What will people say T. I certainly wouldn't care one teeny bit what they said about me." "That’s the way you feel when you’re young," Henri said, “but when you get older you begin to have some respect for your neighbors’ opinions.” > ? He paid the check and left a twenty-tive-cent tip tor the waiter

0 ' ' ——T-< I Modern Etiquette I ? BY ROBERTA LEE ? G- . Q Q. Are showers for prospective bridegrooms appropriate? A. They are growing In popularity, although mostly humorous in character. Usually they consist of edeks too gaudy to wear, {“dainty" handkerchiefs, budget books, ball-ahd-chain, and the like. Os course, the shower of useful gifts Is also appropriate—such as a book shower; smoking-necessities shower, or workshop*—tool shower. Q. I’ve been told it is permissibly to leave the soup spoon in the sonb bowl., Is this correct? A, If the plate on which the bowl rests is wide, it is better to laj’ the spoon on very narrow, however, it is all right to leave the spoon in the bowl.

and they went. Retrieving Leonie’s bag and his valise from the checkroom he paid another dime, marveling at the extravagant customs of Baltimore. He put up his stick to hail a cab, and they drove off to the Union station and got on their train. • • • The excessive familiarity of things at home made Leonie feel now as if her absence had been a dream. She had been looking 'forward to her return, but now she began to feel trapped. It was difficult to get away from Charleston unless you were rich, and she hadn’t much faith in her Uncle Henri's dream of getting that money from his French relative. She heard her Aunt Heloise come in the front door, cheerful as usual, \and, a thing Leonie had pot noticed before, a tHfle noisy in her energetic way. Aunt Heloise, Leonie thought, didn’t really belong in Charleston. There wasn’t enough for her to do. "There isn't enough for anybody to bo,” she said to herself. Hehri’s deep gruff tones came to her ear, and then Aunt Heloise laughing coming up the stairs, putting her hat and prayerbook away, changing from her Sunday best to a starchy housedress, and humming a song. -"Come in,” Leonie said in answer to her knock at the connecting door. "I’m getting formal in my old, age," Heloise said. “Can’t just* burst in now. How are you, child ? Had some rest ? What’s that you’re reading?” "Omar Khayyam. It’s very soothing,” Leonie said. “How were vespers, Auntie?” "About the same as usual,” Helen ise said with a smile, “Same vespers, same people. Well, I’m going down how to fix supper." “Let me help you. Auntie." "A new broom sweeps clean," Heloise said. “You sit right there. No Yankee housework the first day you get home." “1 expect to help you kpep house,” Leonie said, sincerely. Heloise smiled skeptically. “I’ll remember that," she said. "It’s ridiculous tor you to spend all that money for Queenie when the two of us could run the house.” Heloise held a finger to her lips and opened her eyes very wide. She had a wonderfully funny face, Leonie thought. “Do you want! to bring on another earthquake? How wbuld it look if the Lemays of Edisto Island didn’t have a servant ? Tchk, tchk.," \ “I don’t suppose he’ll ever get over those ways of his," Leonie said. “Not very likeiy. Yqur uncle hasn’t changed much in forty years. I expect he’ll be talking about a butler before long, with all that money he expects to get.” “1 wish something like that would happen to him.” Heloise shrugged. "Your uncle has always been a dreamer. He gets a lot of fun out of thinking about iL Just jolly him along, Leonie. You will, won’t you?” she continued, a serious look coming over her face. ”1 mean, not 'upset him by arguing?” “People need to be shaken out of their ruts,” Leonie said. “But I win try to spare hie feelings.” (To Be C'oiitiAued/
