Type Os Nausea Due To Nerves

By HEMMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.D. I SUPPOSE most of my know that pregnant women frequently complain of morning sickness. These women have a ' feeling of, nausea and the urge to vomit early In the morning; sometimes this feeling returns throughout the day. >, w ? j Men hate also been known to \ suffer from morning sickness, though from a very different cause. Such men are emotionally I unstable, and their symptoms are usually attributed to a sense of insecurity. | Breakfast Distasteful Often, this type of person has no appetite for breakfast, and even the sight of food, especially fatty food, is extremely ful. If he forces himself to eat, he becomes nauseated and may even, vomit. The nausea may return ( any time during the day, but usu-i ally only if some disturbing situa? tion comes about. For example, if 1 he has an argument with the| boss, he may develop nausea, or vomit, i Usually such a person is veryi tense arid nervous, and complains, that he feels tired all the time. He may! describe his feeling \as? •buttexfliee in the stomach?’ These persons are also subject to diarrhea and severe cramps. _ . ' 7 f ' \ '7

BOOIW CRI ME My ELIZABETH

— CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE AUSTEN came back from the New York, New Haven and Hartford window and spoke to the porter, who walked off in the direction of a checking office. “You’re right, it's going to be quite a wait for him,” said Nordhall. "He'll hi ak e for a dressingroom.” “Better go after him now, perJ haps.” 1 ' The porter came back, was tipped, and lyent away. Gray Austen vtac Vi no nurry to leave the concGum; he stood almost alone j near the information desk, lighting a cigaret; traffic was thinning for I the night. . Nordhall and Gamadge walked down the broad stairs atnd across the cohcourse; Austen had turned, 1 and was limping toward the ramp. They caught up with him.. Nordhall touched him on the arm. He looked around, saw Gamadge, and stepped; back a little; i his face Was expressionless. Nordhall said: “We have no warrant yet for your arrest, Mr. Aus- ‘ ten, but 1 thought you wouldn’t ! mind having a little talk with us just the same. All the stuff will be coming through tomorrow, and one of our men took your picture this afternoon while you were walking the dog, and, we have your fingerprints." * He stood staring. "So as you can itnagine,” said Nordhall cheerfully, "it’s only a question of time. So why shouldn't you get a statement in first, before the other two start talking? We have reason to think that you may not have had a hand in that murder. Looking at it one way—it’s the way Mr. Gamadge here looks at it —in spite of being the whole show, you could be considered something of a cat's paw.” The blank gaze moved to Garriadge’s face, lingered there as it were incuriously, came back to , Nordhall’s. Shock, thought Nordhall, he can’t work it out yet and can’t even try. Blit was it shock exactly or entirely? That blankness was so absolute; there was a kind of innocence In it. ’ ' Gamadge said pleasantly: “He might like to take that brace off I first, Nordhall; he must be sick of It." The young man shifted a foot. He said bitterly: “I aaven’t had a walk for four years, except now and then in the middle of the night.” And he added: "I had the thing off tonight> when Rena showed up. I thought I walked the : same, but she looked for a minute j as if she noticed something? Did ■ • . " ~~i l ”

We’ll certainly tie the boy tn sooner or later, he must have been somebody Captain Austen knew out there. What’s your name, by the way?” "Tom Bayles." “Mr. Bayles. Only a kid of sixteen, this pboy must have been when he knew Captaih Austen, but you may remember him. Let’s go down to the lower level, what do you say, where we can sit and talk? You don’t have to do any talking, remember, i’ll do it.” Bayles looking down at his leg; “1 wouldn’t have let you get a hand on me if it wasn't for this.” •*That’s silly ” "I was just going to take it oft.” "Mr. Gamadge it would be a nice kind of disguise Tor you —just not walking with a limp, sprinting around as good as anybody. You thought if anybody got after you the word would be out for a lame man?” Nordhall shook his head. 'f L i Bayles looked at Gamadge, looked away. "How does he get intp it?” he asked shortly. Gamadge said: "Serena got to me first.” Bayles showed anger now for the' first time: he looked at Gamadge with the expression, Gamadge thought, which Rena must haVe seen and which had driven her. out of the Austen house. "Why, the little—she did- read those books, then. Os all the cheating, lying—” "That’s funny," said Nordhall good-humoredly, "coming from you. Let’s go down." They walked over to the stairs and descended Into great reaches of emptiness. Nordhall steered Bayles over to a bench beside a closed gateway; they sat down, Gamadge on Nordhall’s other side. “As I said," Nordhall; began, “we’ll have all- our dope on Captain Austen tomorrow; it’s army’Stuff, and; they can afford air travel; the C.O. will fly in—only being Captain Austen’s Ci 0., he won’t know you or you him. Different outfits, I suppose.” Resting head and shoulders against the marble, his chin sunk down and his eyes half closed, Bayles looked t h r e e-q u a r t e r s asleep. Reaction seemed to have stupefied him. He felt in the pocket nearest Nordhall, said with a faint smile: *1 have no gun on me,” and got! out a cigaret case with a monogram in gold. ; _

A “Not on this side of you, anyway,” agreed Nordhall, returning th? smile. "1 noticed as we came downstairs.” , \ i "Oh. It’s in my bag—my service bag.

What were you ■saying?” “ Al' • "You and Captain Austen were outfits, I thought” 5 Bayles lighted a cigaret and smoked as it tn a dream. "Yes, different outfits.

You must understand,” said Bayles, "Austen whs tough. tough. Nice felle't, but tough. He'd put up a good stjow for his uncle, though, the one he was named after, and he’d been left this big Income and the house; but the estate wasn’t paying off ‘ ?‘We’d been bumming around a good deal, as I said, in all kinds of towns and auto camps and motels Hyou can imagine.

Ten More Illinois Delegales To Tass State Convention Concluded Monday . SPRINGFIELD, 111. UP — Illinois Republicans have handed thelt Ihat 10 GUP convention votes to Sen. Robert A. Taft* The state GOP convention, in a rbuxihg show of support for the Ohio senator as their party’s presidential candidate, voted him 14) delegates-at-large Mon da y with hardly a murmur of disapproval. The name of Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1 Taft’s chief opponent, wasn 4 t even mentioned during the three-hour proceedings. An Eisenhower supporter landed one of the, id alternate delegate spots as a consolation prize. Bt|| he was listed as the fetifh-ranklng alternate, making it almost certain he won’t cast a vote, at the national nominating convention \in Chicago starting' July 7. Now the business of picking the 1,206 national'convention delegates is done. Taft Is assured of 59 of the 60 Illinois votes, since he won all but one of the 50 who were - Ejected in the primary April 8. The Republican party in Illinois was regarded as sure to support Taft ai|d hardly a hitch developed. There Was some agitation just before the convention opened Over slatinjg a Negro for one of the 10, delegatee-at-large 'posts but that was quickjy \met. - ' Party leaders bowed to the request and substituted Euclid B. ' Taylor, counsel for the Chicago Defender and a Negro, In plac& of ' national committeeman Werner SchroederA It made little difference 7 so far as the national convention is concerned since Taylor is regarded as a solid Taft booster, too. Jolly Workers The third regular meeting of the Berne Jolly Workers 4-H club was held recently at the Berne-FrenCh high school. The meeting was called to ordfer by the president, Ruth Zimmerman. The roll call and - the minutes of the last meeting ! were read by the secretary, Barbara j Bertjch. A special prograiA with Donna F|osnaugh in charge, was given. Included in the program were: a story, the first violin. Sue Graber, accordion solo by Sandra . Kiefer, and a pikno \solo by .Sue Graber. A demonstration on “Fringing a Headscarf,” was given by Nancy Zimmerman. Following group singing and recreation, re? freshipents \yere served to 21 members and one guest present.

CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR BAYLES broke eff his tale to explain to Nordhall and Gamadge: "We didn’t look alike, you know; but we were both dark and about the same height and build, only he was heavier. What made it really so easy for us was that they’d sent a representative down from San Francisco—the executors had—to see him in the hospital and do all the identifying and put all-the preliminaries through; and on our trip he’d often had too much to drink. He showed me how to forge his signature to checks and so on. We had a lot of fun out of my forgeries. I don’t think he’d have been any more shocked over this game the Austens and I put up than they were. It’s a tough family. “Well, when he died tn that dump, it wasn’t only the manager (that wafited him buried quick and no publicity; the town authorities were delighted to get rid of him and us—l’d been exposed, don't forget. They cut all the corners they dared to, and pushed us out. Gray was buried there under my name, and my folks were notified and didn’t show up; why takethe trip? j "By that time of course Jerome and I—and the sister, too—had it all fixed. They wanted that income as badly as I did. It was all plain sailing for me, naturally, with the AuStens right with me and backing me. We never’ had a minute’s trouble anywhere along the line.” His voice faded. When.be spoke again it was with bitterness: “I don’t say 1 would have. turned, the proposition down, even if I’d realized which end of the stick 1 was getting. They were all right—they could go anywhere and make friends, they were the real thing. But I—it never entered my head at first how it would be. I couldn’t take a chance, not even drive a car, because jo surgeon could ever take a look at my leg. I wouldn’t dare go, around at all, because I might meet somebody that had known me tn the air force or anywhere else. And not only that—his picture couldn’t get tn the papers, any more than mine could: no publicity for Gray Austen, and no freedom to do a thing.” He looked down at his leg: "This thing had got me. "Well, it wouldn’t be long, toe thought. When we got the estate settled, I’d simply travel—go off somewhere fbr good, cash my remittances; they’d be safe, all right! . . i- ' ,

The three of u$ had a deadlock on one another. "And then we found out we were held up by that trust fund, and as we had nothing but the income from the estate split three ways, we didn’t want delay. So I stayed on. Until June ...” He put his elbows on his knees, dropped his cigaret to the floor and stepped on it. ■ ' . ' .J ' ■ Gamadge said after a moment: “You married. Mr. Bayles.” > Bayles looked up at him sideways without raising his head. “No risk there,” he said. "Not that I could find out, and I was pretty careful.” Nordhall asked sharply: "Why do it at all, much less twice?” He answered quite simply: “I had to have something." “Something," Nordhall turned to look at Gamadge. “No wonder one of them took to alcohol, and the other one nad to run away.” Bayles sat up to stare. “Don’t know what you mean. ’ "We mean," said Gamadge, “that your approach- was deceptive; but then you couldn’t very well explain thait there wasn’t any sentiment connected with the business?’ Something tn his tone brought the young man to his feet “That's none of your business,” he said loudly. -v Gamadge rose too. . “You might say it ruined yours. But your wife didn’t read those books, Mr. Bayles. She didn’t leave you because you locked a door. She ran for her life because although she couldn’t put a name to it, she knew what you were." The other stumbled fbrtoard, but Nordhall restrained hi m. “N o w we’ve been very nice, Bayles; because this is Mr. Gamadge’s. pinch, and he likes things that way. But combat fatigue or not, I personally hope you'll get the works.” Bayles’ head drooped again, He said: “I’ve had them.” “AU right,' now tell us about that boy Jerome Austen killed, before he hauls you Into it." “1 didn't know a thing. He was a kid that used to do orderly work and. chores in the hospital after school hours: they could use anybody. He thought Gray was a big hero, and Gray used to tell him to look the family up in New York. That’s all.” “So It wasn’t blackmail, just a boy looking for a break?" Bayles looked from one to the other of them wildly. ”1 didn’t knew till afterward: they didn’t

i dare tell me. But you won’t believe it.” His eyes on Gamadge’s, ! he clenched his hands. ! Gamadge said: “I’m going on ! the stand to swear to it.” j Bayles was silent. Then he said, half whispering: “I never had a break myself till Gray Austen died." Nordhall took him by the elbow. “All right, we’U be going down town to get this in shape.” Gamadge watched them go; then he found a telephone booth and called the Malcolm apartment. “Hello, Dave," he said. ’"Tell Mrs. M. that she won’t have to give Serena a sleeping potion tonight. Gray Austen's stand-in tried to leave, and he’s been nabbed, and he’s told aIL He’s only too anxious to rat on the others, and he must have hated _he very sight of them. Tell Serena the mystery of her marriage and of the (former marriage is now made 1 clear; he couldn’t go out for diversion, so he allowed it in the home. Nothing personal. The other poor girl probably died of a broken heart as much as anything.” "What’s his name?" asked Malcolm. “Rena ought to know that, only decent.” “Bayles.” "I hope he killed Austen?” said Malcolm. “No, We can’t even pin that on him. Meningitis. Tell Serena 4 that her trip wasn’t wasted, even if we didn’t heed his lotions and medicine bottles after alt She threw such a scare into him with that \ line we gavie her about scandal, and you fit to break down the door to get your sitter back, that he left at least twelve hours early; or so I imagine. That gets him away from the others, and we can move In on them tomorrow and they won’t be expecting a thing.” f “Fine. But now—" “That’s all for tonight. I want to go home.” “Yes, but how about those little books, and hpw you knew what was in them, and damn it, what they were?” \ “It’s a tale for a long winter’s evening.” ; . , Gamadge hung up on Malcolm, found a cab, and went home. When he got there he was pardonably annoyed to find Mr. Norris Ordway settled at canasta with Clara in the library, and enjoying a light collation of cheese-on-t oast and beer. (To Be Continued)
