| An Operation to Help Victims . Os A Crippling Heart Disease
: ‘ •. By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.D. CORONARY heart disease is j one disorder that forces a patient to cut down his activity if he does I? I not want to be crippled the rest t of his life. J A coronary attach leaves the heart extremely weak, and unable . J to stand normal activity. The person usually complains of recurring pains* and discomfort in the chest. ?n Stimulates Blood Supply Sometimes, however, he can be restored to activity by a surgical operation that stimulates the blood supply to the heart by us* ing talc powder as an irritant. Anyone who has used liniment or a mustard plaster knows how irritation can increase the blood supply to some part, of the body. ' > In cordnary heart disease there ' Is a shortage of blood to the heart muscle itself, due to a disorder of i the coronary arteries that supply it. This causes part of the heart muscle th die, weakening the heart and: bringing on a severe form of heart trouble. i. > d j Not A Cure Doctors have devised many operations to increase the .blood supply to the- heart in these cases. Such operations are not intended, to cure the disease itself, but to return the patient to activity, and ! prevent hito from being perma--1 Den Uy crippled. , , ; I Among these is thejperajtipn In

The Decatur golf.course, situated at \the northwest edge of Decatur, just off U.S, highways 27 and 224, is one of the goodiophs in northern Indiana? It is open to the golfing public and a greens, fee is charged.

T ports say the layout is wonderful ' ,and each year the fairways and greens become, smoother' more to,the liking of players. The Decatur golf course is nosy attracting players from many . iiorthern Indiana communities aim! Is rapidly gaining a reputation as . one of the best. I Now They Pay:— Not too many months ago, all an estranged or divorced husband! had to do to evade paying, support, money for minor children was to leaife the state in which a court; • order had been issued-and e)stab-| lish himself in another statel ; There was no way of enforcing a court order of this type in another state. Now we have d law known as the Reciprocal Dependency 'law and of the 4S 'states . recognize it. I j \ This means that if an older is j handed down in a circuit cojurt in Lxme state, it now can be enforced s ’ in the circuit court of another , state and the wayward husband does not shed the responsibility of providing for children which he pas brought into the world. The law has been used successfully in Adams circuit court recently on two and in ieach instance the Court jif another state accepted the responsibility; called the defendant into his own Court and Ordered the'judgment. Weekly support money 'is then forwarded to the plaintiff's county - for use of the minor children. Prosecutor Severin Schurge?, Who under the law the action for the complainant ‘ and Judge Myles F. Parrishi have coop< rated splendidly in use of the statute and their action has brought deserved support money to? two needy families in this \f 1 / county. 'f ? ;: '■ \ ‘I c ' '

SYNOPSIS When Cray Austen disk-overs his wife, Fc-na. holding a slim pa per-bound book in uer hand, he becomes so turious that she flees the house in terror. She manages to- reach Henry Gamadge. noted bibliophile detective, who on .hearing her story decides to hide her in ms household, why she asks Mr; Gamjijge. did the sight of that-little book, thb story of some ancient crime, ao terribly disturb net husband? Seated with the great \authonty ori old books and scripts tn his study. RetW tells him all about hersdlf and Gray and their marriage.' She arid Gray nad been happy enough together in thew old brown stone house until his brother and sister, Jerome and Hildreth, came on from the west to join them. But, they had come at Gray’s own bidding! While they chat young Ordway, a neighbor, drops in casually to siatt Rena, but Gamadge points out that tne indiscretion ol any young gentleman calling on a miSsing wife may cause trouble for that wife. Caution is the watch word now! CHAPTER NINE J | “HELLO,, GRAM." Ordway sat down opposite her and got out his pipe/ “Is that child all right, Norris?” . “Fine. Settled for the present." He began to laugh. “Seems their baby nurse is bh holiday, and they’ve got her in the cap and veil and i uniform.” “How clever.” H “Wouldn’t nave recognized her myself at first if I’d met her pushing the go-cart.” I “It relieves me to know that she’s getting out into the air; she’s been looking very pale lately, and she’s lost weight in the last months.” “They’re a little worried about our being seen beating it away.” “You were not seen. That very disagreeable-looking maid of theirs didn’t come to the front door and investigate until you were around the | corner and out of my sight. I was relieved when I saw your cab turn, because by that time’ the others were all out in the vestibule.” “What I mean, Gram, they—Gamadge arid his wife—seem to be cookihg up some idea of a divorce for her.” , “Naturally.” . -\\ “And if 1 got into the picture they seem to think it might gum the works a little.” \ “It might. How about that doorman?” “He didn’t see her/’ “They don’t wish to pursue the acquaintance, Norris ? ” “I’m supposed to know them.* “Very simple. They must know something to the disadvantage of the lame husband. I thought he looked depressed when he cadre out to walk the little dog. It aeems very sad. That brother—he’s the living image of his father, poor old Charles Austen’s elder brother, you know.” J i ! . “What was that story, anyhow?” He added: “Dad mentioned something last night.” “Something about mo xi ey; he was quietly pushed*off the Stock Exchange.” “Thought they had plenty of

But this young* er boy, they called him after j Charles, you know—Charles Gray Austen: this younger boy did so well in the war, and ne and Charles met before he went overseas', Charles Austen told me. Charles was much taken with him, and left him all his money for life.” Norris frowned. “It seems a mess." ;i “No girl of that kind would run off in that way without good teat son," said old Mrs. brdway. “From what Gamadge said, I gather nobody ever laid a finger on her, anyhow.” ’ "He wouldn’t take her part for no reason, you know.” t “Don’t have to convince me.** Norris Ordway smoked for a whiles legs crossed, head against the padded back of his chair. i; Presently Ordway said: “Those parties you used to give for me? birthday cake, magician with rabbit. magic lantern slides.” “Yes?” “Did they get out of hand at End up rough?” J “Naturally, dear; all the little boys.” “I can’t remember much about’ them. Gamadge’s wife’—Dawson her name was . . .” i? /' Old Mrs. Ordway raised her eyes from her book. “Beautiful child. I think there was a little accident—somebody upset som e of the supper over her nice white dress.” “Oh. I was just wonderihg.” $ After another interval,, speaking around the pipe, he said! “Austen had such bad luck with • his first wife, too.” “Yes.” Their eyes met in a long, calm look. Then he observed: “Perhaps I ought to have carted her away.’* Old Mrs. Ordway remarked that it might be just as well not to make a practice of it. ... J "You broke me of dumping the dessert down peoples’ backs,” said Ordway. “Or I suppose you did. I haven’t done it lately.” ’ While young Ordway’s past was thus being exposed to him, another young man, dark, perfectly dressed and limping a little, was shown into the office of Dr. Kurt Wolfram uptown. He had telephoned for an appointment, ex* plaining that his own doctor was not available; which he wasn't, be* ing at that moment on the golf epurse of his country club, using bad language about the weather. The office nurse smiled sweetly upon the new patient, took his name, address and Occupation all over again, said she hoped his knee wasn’t painful at that moment, and . ’ • . I

You don’t look as though you needed help from me dr anybody. Knee bothering you?” 1 “Yes, this knee, doctor,” said Malcolm, indicating It, "The swelling’s gorie down, but it’s still a little tender." The doctor came around his desk to prod the knee tn away which would certainly have hurt if there had been anything the matter with it, so Malcolm winced. ' “No blow? No injury?" ;• . “Not a thing. The pain just came on yesterday afternoon, and hurt dike mad for several hours. My wife finally gave me a pill; she ■“needed some sleep too.” They both laughed. “These arthritic attacks are funny," said the doctor. “They come from nowhere and they go; but they go faster if you help them along with a few good big doses of aspirin every now and then. \l'll write it down.” He did so, saying meanwhile: “Liquid diet while you’re taking the aspirin, and I recommend your going to a hospital and getting some thermotherapy If the attack returns.” “Well, Tm glad it’s not serious," said Malcolm. “I had a vision of myself limping around like poor Gray Austen.” “Could end up like that,” said the doctor, “I mean with a perma* hent affection of the knee joint, but pot this time. Perhaps we’d better go into the question of diet, to ward off future trouble. Rheumatoid arthritis can be very troublesome,” He went on writing, then glanced up to ask: “Know the Austens? What a shame that is for a i young man; that is permanent.” “SO I understand. I once knew his wife.” “Oh ? Charming girt,” said Wolfram, his face lighting up. “But the last time I was down there —Miss Austen’s laryngitis, it was—-I thought Mrs. Austen looked a little underweight. However, she never seems to be sick.” Malcolm said: “I meant Austen’s first wife.” r "Oh.” Wolfram’s face felt •»■ wL i. Be
