While some of this literature may be worth attentior,. a great deal of it is a bald attempt' to influence, public opinion at public expense. The amount of mail leaving Wash** ington has grown so great that bickering has sprung up between Congressmen who feel that- they are hot receiving their share of service from folding and mailing room employees. The purpose of the franking aijd mailing privilege , is to allow Congressmen to inform and assist- constituents, and not to practicej electioneering via the’ mails. .■- . - ■ Factions in tjhe Democrat party are out to oust Frank'tMcHale as national committeeman,'and Ira L.

' / j—" — ' ' •X— A Post-Operative Complication

Ey HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.D. FREQUENTLY, a surgical op- •* eration may leave the bowel paralyzed. In other wards’ the bowel fails in the nervous responses Which mafke it work properly. This condition may be caused by the ariesthetic used. It occurs more frequently during spihal anesthesia. It may also be due to too much handling of the bowel dirrirjg surgery. Sometimes it is impossible to find any special cause outside the bowel itself. A paralyzed bowel can also follow an operation on some other part of the body, for example, the removal of the prostate gland. Serious Complication This is: a fairly serious complication. The bowel becomes enlarged and filled with fluid, and its walls are thin. It cannot move.i the food along as it must in normal digestion. The abdomen thus becomes large and distended, and the patient is extremely uncomfortable. He vomits his food and cannot hold even the lightest liquids on his stomach. Most patients with this disorder, recover. But they must be fed liquids through a vein, and the ( pressure in the bowel relieveOy

Congress is the legislative brancfh of our government and its duty is to write and pass laws needed by the country. In the present steel-wage tontroversary, the congressional faction opposed to President Truman seems to be’ x more concerned with attacking the President than in helping solve the deadlock between the union groups, the steel industry and government representatives. Mr. Truman sent the leaders a challenge. He urged them to adopt an affirmative, riather than a negative pro-gram and to do something constructive; He said, “Congress should do more than simply tell me what I should not \ I : I -.'is s i. 1 do. It should pass affirmative legislation.’’ ... John L. Haryey was a successful farmer and esteemed citizen ot this community and one of the men who first saw, intrinsic value and opportunity in Adams County real estate. Moving here from Clinton County in 19*1)9. Mr. 'Har*-' vey sensed the worth of farm land;) in this county and for many years was the leading \real estate salesman in this area. He not only . likyd to stress the merits of farm lands-, but acquired fertile acres and well improved farnis for himself. lie was an enthusiastic booster for the development Os , farms and modernization of these agriculture planfo His death closes a page in the history of the county that was quite active during World War I period.! ——-o o At a recent exhibit in the'TowLoridon a weapon was displayed which was once regarded as so terrible that its creator predicted it would spell the end of wars! It jwas a breech-loading carabine ’ designed eailyjin the 18th centiry for King Cjeorge 1 of England. by a French Huguenot refugee. Today the weapon is as obsolete as a sling-shot and the prediction of the inyenlor sounds hollow and absurd, When the first atomic bomb reduced Hiroshima V . ■ I i. . ■ to a radioactive pile of ashes, a . similar prediction was ibadeJ Man had finally invented the weapon which could destroy the world and optimists predicted the comnfcn sen-se of men everywhere would now outlaw war. Subsequent events have proved how wrong this theory was. ■■'' i ! ! The sl.o | *<> bell, weighing almost 7bn pounds, was undamaged when the tornado destroyed the. Christian church Marc h 26, 1948.

means of a. tube inserted through * the mouth and into the intestine. Vitamin Found Helpful . It has now been found that a vitamin known as pantothenic acid, one of the vitamin B group, is of value in treating a paralyzed bowel. The vitamin must be given by injection into a muscle. Ji A number of patients treated in this manner began to pass gas from the rectum before the second injection, the passage of gas being the most important sign that the bowel is returning to r normal. All of these cases recovered rapidly. In some, the bowel returned to normal within two to three hours after the first injection. Many of these patients had received the conventional treat- i ment for this disorder before the new method was tried. Thus, doctors have discovered a j new hope for a frequent complication after surgery. - i QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS A. P.: Could?taking yeast tab-’ lets or yeast cakes prove harmful, or would they be helpful for my blood? i ) , /Answer: There Di no danger in taking yeast in any form. It is an excellent source rif ; vitamin B. It is not of any particular help in , building up the blood. J

He’s a nice boy. He, has good manners and he’s ambitious and—” 1 ' “I don’t want to hear any more about him,” Henri said. Leonie frowned, but she rose and went upstairs without insisting on their approval. “We’re nothing,” Henri growled. “We don’t count” h “Brother, it’s only natural that the young man should come to see her when she’s going away for two weeks.” , “She could pay us a little atten1 t’on.” ■ *' v “Childreri nearer do. I’m going to write some letters. Do you want to bring your books and things upstairs?” “No indeed,” ~ Henri said. “I’m going to stay whbre I can exercise some sort of restraining influence.” He was improving his account of the Edisto plantation when the bell rang. Lincoln Calvert stood at the front door with a box under his arm and a disarming smile. "Good-evening, Mr. Lemay,” he sr.id. “How are you, sir?” “Good-evening,” Henri responded gruffly. “Won’t you come in?” He did not hold out his hand and he hoped that this snub was felt. “Leonie will be here in a minute,” he said. “Sit down, please.” He took the young man’s straw hat and hung it on the pack. “Thank you, sir,” Lincoln said. “It’s been hot, hasn’t it?” “Yes, it has,” Henri replied. “It will be nice for Leonie to go away.” “We consider that it will be very good for her,” Henri said, looking fixedly at the boy. But Lincoln Was no longer paying him any attention, for Leoirie had appeared. “Leonie!” he greeted her enthusiastically. "Lincoln!” Leonie responded. “It was so nice of you to come.” Henri retreated to the dining room in disgust. \ “I brought you some candy,” J4acpin said, .

“Why, you oughtn’t to do this,” : Leonie said. “Every time you come to see me—” “Have you got any left?” “No.” ‘ d *T “Well, then, you needed some more.” ' 'I ! “I suppose you’re right,” Leonie said, ‘Tffi going to open it this minute.” She untied the string. Lincoln drew up two rockers and they sat down beside each other. "It’s\ going to be a long two weeks,” he:said/ "dh, I’ll be back before yqu realize It.” 7 “I meant that seriously.” “It’s nice like thiq,” Leonie said. “How were things at the farm today ?” “I felt sort of discouraged. There’s so much tp be done and it’s so hard getting started. There’s nothing in the courses I’ve taken about how you ought to feel when a piece of harness breaks or a hand loses a brand-new tool.” “Oh, you’ll get along,” Leonie said. “With your training and your ambitipn.” >;v, She was hoping that he would say something about the end result of all this striving, but just then the rattly b©ll rang and she leapt to answer it. She flung open the door oh Joseph Newman. “Good-evenin’, Leonie,” he said, grinning broadly. “I hear you goin’ away tomorrow and I pome to say good-by. How all the folks?” “We’re all fine,” Leonie said resignedly. “Here, let me take your hat, Joseph.” It made a very poor Show beside Lincoln's gleaming Panama. “You and Lincoln Calvert know each other, don’t you?” “Oh/ sho,” Joseph said. “How you, Lincoln?” * “How are you, Joe?” Lincoln responded. There was a roll of papers under Joseph’s arm. He handed it to Leonie. “The ‘Ave Maria,’ ” he explained. “I thought you might learn to play it for me sometime." “Why, certainly,” Leonie said. “You know, Lincoln, Joe has a fine voice.”. “That so?” Joseph smiled modestly. “Oh ’e ain’t so fine as all that,” he protested. “They ain’t many tenors and everybody think a tenor is good because they scarce.

He turned to Leonie. “You’ll be nice and cool up there in the mountains,” he said, “while the rest of us down here will be get- " ting hotter by the minute.” ii Leoriie nodded. Joseph looked thoughtful. s “They got a piano up there?” he inquired. | ' • .• h ' . .*T think sc,” Leoni© said. “Why?” “I thought maybe you could spend a little time—on rainy days, you know,” Joseph explained, “practicing some songs. Then we cotild do ’em together when you git. back.” Leonie laughed. "Oh, it takps an awful lot of practice for me to play anything,” she said "I bring a couple of seegyars for Mr. Lemay,” Joseph said, tap* ping his breast pocket. "Fellow give ’em to me.

Joseph said, taking them without ceremony from his pocket and holding them out to Henri, “You know,” he added, “I ain’t Smoke.” 1 “Thank you,” Henri said, pocketing the gift casually and wondering what the boy could be thinking of to present him publicly with two cigars. "I’ll smoke one later. I just finished my after-supper one.” Leonie raised her eyebrows. She had not seen her uncle smoke since her return from Baltimore. “I hope you like ’em,” Joseph said. "Mr. Lemay, won’t you sing a song for us, suh ?” “Oh, nobody wants to hear an old man,” Henri said.

It was believed the U. N., command is moving inland those prisoners who wish! to return to North Korea and Red China. The move al r so will break up bnads of Communists believed responsible for the riots at the;Koje Island prison camp. Col. George W. Hickman of the U.

Joseph and Uncle are determined to sing.” “My goodness,” Heloise said. “How did your uncle manage to butt into the party?” “Joe wanted to give him a couple of cigars. Uncle put them in his pocket. He told Joe,” added, laughing in spite of her annoyance, "that he’d just finished his after-supper one.” Heloise shook her head. “It’s a windfall tor Lafayette,” she added. “Os course he’ll never smoke them, wheh they were handed to him that way” “ < . 5 She tucked in a stray strand of hair, smoothed; her dress, and followed Leonie. Joseph, in the obliging manner of singers, Was waiting at the parlor door. Henri was standing awkwardly with Lincoln Calvert, neither saying a word. After polite greetings from the young men, Heloise adjusted the stool and sat down. “You sing first, Henri said. Joseph gave in without a struggle. “You like to play the ’Ave Maria,’ Miss Lemay? Key of G.” Heloise began the introduction and Joseph took a deep breath and held his chest up high. His face twisted agonizingly. As he emitted the first words, Henri beamed approval, and he did not notice that Lincoln Calvert was beginning to cougfh. When Joseph came to the final high note and twisted his mouth like a patient In a dentist’s chair, Lincoln began to cough again and Leonie had to fetch him a glass of water. "I’m all right now,” he protested, taking out his handkerchief and laughing behind that, while Joseph, thoroughly pleased with himself, stood grinning, "That was fine,” Heloise said. “Now, ’l’ll Sing Thee Songs of Araby.’ ” ! Unprotected by Latin, Joseph’s powerful Gullah accent camp out stronger than ever. “I Sing The© Songs of- Africa," Lincoln whispered to Leonie, and Leonie herself was seized With a fit cf coughing.

He totted; up the figures—-so much for insurance, so much to repay this debt, iso much for that, and so much for what, entirely without humor, he referred to as his sinking fund. with the prospect of a considerable .outlay for repairs to his chouse, he felt that affairs had combined to lay low. ■ ’ > | , He had long passed th© point where any additional economies could be effected. He did not smoke, he did not drink, and he did not gamble, ride the streetcars, or even chew gum. Nothing offered except the discharging of Queenie, and he could not throw the whole burden of housekeeping on Heloise or make such a public confession of poverty. He could reduce future expenditures by further cutting his list of records, but he knew now that he would never be able .to buy any of them anyway. With a sigh, he completed his computations, and realized that he would have to reduce the housekeeping fund by fifty cents a week. He hated to tell Heloise. /‘Wish the /O’Donnells would keep Leonie another week,” Henri told Heloise, his forehead corrugated by worry and distress. “It goes against my grain. Henry offered to keep her as long as she would like; to stay, but I said no. If she does stay longer we’ll have to insist on paying for "her board.” "You’d /better let her come home,” Heloise said. "She’s a grown woman, and nature is nature.” "I’m afraid we, can’t agree on matters like that." "There’s the bell,” Heloise said. :The callqr was Miss Julie.
