Too Much Fat Often Impairs The Function of the Liver -

’ By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.D. WHEN the liver becomes covered with fat, hr fat develops between the liver cells, this.vital organ cannot work as it should.- ' The fiver is one of the. ires! important organs in the human body. It is thought by some to have over a hunched different purposes. It is important for the body’s use of the fats, carbohydrates and proteins contained in our food. It also plays a part in manufacturing vital blood factors, hormones, and enzymes. Function Tests The liver’s ability to work correctly can be measured by liver function tests. These tests are usually impaired when a person has a fatty liver. /, There are various causes of a fatty livdr. It maY easily come from a diet that does not supply enough of certain vitamins, mainly those known as choline and inositol. An under-supply of certain hormones by the endocrine glands may Slso produce a ' fatty liver. A good example of this is a lack of insulin in the body; : another is a deficiency of the ' pituitary gland, and a “lack” of I complete proteins. Reducing Diet Needed ] Over-stout persons and those with diabetes have a tendency toward fatty livers. When this condition results from excess weight, however, it is not helped I by taking the vitamins mentioned i above. Only a reducing diet seems ; to be effective. I One oi the common pauses of

Os course, alcohol must be stopped., Kills Liver Cells 'ln severe alcohol intoxication, the alcohol may act as a poison on the liver' and kill a great number of liver cells. Recently, it has been found that people who ■ chronically imbibe- alcoh.ol and have fatty . degeneration of the liver ;have a , tendency £o carry a virus causing j severe liver infection.

SYNOPSIS , I Faul Lennox, handsome young pastor of a fashionable New York church, and Constance Marshall, business girl, are ardently In love. Alone with him at dinner tonight. Connie nbpes ne will , propose, but he does not ] Instead, he tells tier of his quarrel nis patroness. wealthy, caustic Agatha Murchison. of his refusal to accept her contribution 4p his church fund, of her threat to cause him trouble. Reaching' home deeply disappointed.'Connie finds her friend Elsie despairing, pining vet for Pete» Dennis, the frivolous husband she had long ago divorced. Connie seeks and finds Dennis. | pleads with him to see his former wife once more. He agree.- to do so. Returning from a dinner date with him. Elsie seems cured entirely ot ner nostalgic yearning; Thankful for her new found peace of mind, she donates generously to Pastor Lennox’s church fund. Contrition comes to Agatha Murchison. She makes up with the pastor and atones tor her arrogance by taking wispy Emily Ma» ~row. the paid companion whom she nad brow beaten for years, on a glamorous vacation. Elsie finds a new love and uhder its spell blooms magic as a rose. CHAPTER twelve WHEN, In the ihlddle of the week following JEaster, Connie returned from hef%rief holiday, EJsie h&d something to tell her. She said, that evening, Grace having gone but, “There’s something I want to discuss with you.” , She looked wonderfiil; and looked like a woman unafraid, and Connie cried, “You’ve made up your mind!” “Maybe Eynn made up his,” said Elsie. “Yes. We’re going to be married next month.” y When the emotional gestures had been expended, Elsie said, “And that leads to the next step . . . You’re wondering; of course, with me gone, and Gr’ace ...” . Connie said, “Wait a minute, what do you mean, gone . . ? The. apartment ? But jwe can sublet easily. I’ll find some place to live.” “Connie, we’ve had an offer for the agency. At .a very good price, from Rullen, Wasters and Babcock. They’d absorb it and anyone who wants to stay—the girls. ' everyone. For t your share you’d have quite a nice little profit, and Grace too. I haven't said yes. If you yvant to go qn with it, I’ll stay in, if not actively, ahd as I promised Grace, buy her out or find another partner. l 4 ydu’re willing to ■Sell, you can go with the Rullen butfit at a good salary. Or, if you don’t like the idea of being taken over, there are other jobs. You have the experience and the knowhow, and you could afford to take. Some time and think it over.” Connie was a little White. She said, “It’s out of a clear sky. . . I don’t know. I honestly don’t know. But I do know it’s right to sell in the circumstances.” He r. voice broke. “I’m so very happy for you, dear.” After a moment, she added, “Elsie, perhaps this is fight for us all. iri left New York? If I went to Philadelphia? There must be a place there. . . Meantime, I could go home -nd stay with Mother Until I decide;” Elsie said, "I’m not goihg to ad? vise you, Connie. I want you to be happy, too. This whole thing is up to you.” In May Elsie Dennis and Lynn Merrick were married at Central Church. It Was a small wedding with Connie and Grace as Elsie's attendants. ’Later, there was a reception at the apartment, which Paul attended. He had known for some time of the agency situation and was troubled for Connie. Now. standing by the window, he asked her, "Are you goi,ng with the new < firm?" She said, “No, PauL I’ve told

I’m thinking ot looking for a job in Philadelphia." He said, “But you can’t. . . I mean, you like New York, your friends are here. We discussed all that last autumn. Your mother was against your leaving New York." ' “But everything’s changed now:. My very close friends are no long? er here, in that sense. Grace will be on Long Island, Elsie in Con? necticut. . . The Three Muske? teers,” she said smiling. She was, he thought, overthin; also extra? ordinarily pretty. But she was always that. Now there was something more; softer, luminous. “And Mother —I wrote her, I’ve talked to her by phone—sees things my way. She hasn’t been very well, she'll be glad to have me home. She doesn’t expect I’ll stay, but, if the job materializes, 1 can persuade her, I’m sure. I’ve my generous profit. It will take care of me for a while, even run to a littlp car. . . So, you see. . .” She looked at him for a moment, thinking, It isn't as If I’d never see him again. I shall. But not often. I have to remember. I have to remember everything. \ He said after a moment. “You’ll have, to give me a little time. I can’t seem to take it In.’’ “ITI miss you, Paul, I’ll miss all my friends. But Philadelphia isn’t the antipodes . . . We’ll see each other,” dhe said. The year wheeled into the beginning of an appallingly hot summer, made almost unendurable by humidity and a brassy sky from which the cboling consolation of rain rarely felt In June, Rhoda took young Paul to her mother-in-law’s. And Agatha wrote Paul from Stockbridge, where she had removed, in May, that she wished he’d come up for a vacation. Also in June, Simon Adams pne of Paul’s oldest deacons went for the summer to the old farm his parents had owned, on the shores of Lake Erie, and where, shortly after his arrival, he suddenly diedHe would be buried in the old cemetery in the little town, ahd Paul flew to Cleveland, where Simon’s family would meet him and take him to the house, and where, from a small quiet .. church, he would conduct the services. It was a clear hot day, a blazing blue sky, and the flight was smooth. The passengers talked, relaxed and Paul sat next to a young woman and her baby He had relinquished his window seat to them. She was from Pawling and was flying home \to see her parents. They had never seen the baby, she said. The baby was stur? dy and jolly, good as gold. They talked or fell silent. Paul thought of his deacon, \ Simon Adams: he would greatly miss him. They had] their differences. Adams was a hardheaded man, not much given to enthusiasm. You would have said he lacked sentiment and warmth. Yet his stipulation that whenever or wherever be died he be brought hqme cohr tradicted this. But then most peo- ; pje at one time or another proved very unlike all you expected of them. The baby beside Paul made inquiring noises, bubbled and smiled. He smote Paul in the face with,*

They were almost in when Paul noticed the change in the sound of the twin engines. Other passengers noticed too, and looked at one another, and Paul’s seatmate asked, “Something sounds funny, doesn’t it?” In the seat across a man diagnosed, "An engine’s missing . . . * The rhythmic drone was broken by nesitance, a halting, an uneven beat. The pilot, screened from his passengers, spoke to the copilot, looking at his manifold pressure, which told him that one of the engines was indeed missing. Frowning, he slowly doped and opened his throttle to clear it. There was a' series of explosions; the plane shuddered and' vibrated, a woman screamed nervously, grasping her husband’s arm. He said irritated, “For heaven’s sake, Kate, it’4 nothing!” The pilot immediately cut his switch apd shut off the gas to the falling engine. He prayed, without words, his face bright with sweat. He knew that raw gas was exploding in the manifold. He prayed that the fire might be averted.: Som]e passengers talked loudly, questioning, and some were silent. Some clutched at the stewardess as ’ she hurried past, crying, “What’S wrong, what's happening?” and the girl next to\ Paul turned gray-white, holding' the baby in so hard a grip that he walled. She said. “Something’s terribly wrong. Oh, I shouldn’t have come, I shouldn’t have come!” He said, 'Tm sure its nothing serious. We’re close to the field. Try not to be frightened." He leaned past her and saw the dead prop standing stationary, in a gesture of doom, and a thin line of black smoke began streaming from the trailing edge of the wing: as it grew heavier it seeped into the cabin. •Y?h, wfiat can we do?" ttie girl with Paul said helplessly. He put his hand over hers as it held the baby to her. He said, to your God and mine, “the Goa of us all, the compassionate Father." And bent his head and prayed in a steady voice, and the woman who wept, was stUl, and the man who was cursing fell silent And' presently there were other voices speaking with him, “Our Father ..." The stewardess also prayed, her face drawn. She thought of many things, for she was very young. Surely it was not yet time for her to die, who had not fully lived, and the man who had flung himself into an airplane to escape from a domestic situation which had seeped unbearable believed that, of airmen, he was the most alone. He didn’t really care what was going to happen but he was afraid. Let it be quick, he said in his heart, quick. 1 (To Be Continued) T .

She pressed the baby's face to her breast. Her hand felt the small round skull. She was suspended between the love that had kissed her goodbye this morning and the love that now waited for her at the field. She wept for each but most of all for the child. They had known each' other so Short a time, she had thought to give him so much over the years; all she had given him was life—but not for long. Paul put his arm around her. His heart was filled with a bright clear flame of rebellion. There was so much to do and, he had believed, so long a time in which to endeavor, to accomplish. Now, this moment or the next, no time; no time at all. The urgency of his rebellion was so great that he could have set the crippled plane down, as if it were a toy. He thought of all whom he loved, and blessed them. He thought of Connie and the flame burned brighter. By what right had he rejected her, through what arrogance felt her purpose inferior to his own, by what vain reasoning and spiritual pride assumed that his ministry did not include her? He himself, had said on Easter Sunday that it was not certainty but vision, love, and faith which opened the doors. H 0 unfastened his safety belt, Went down the aisle and spoke to the passengers. The stewardess said, "PleaSe return to your seat, Mr. Lennox,” but he went his way. What he said hone remembered, in words. But they listened, and were quieted, even as they knew there was no longer buoyancy beneath them but the sense of the plane settling. And a man spoke with astonishment to Paul. He said in an astohished voice, “But twin-engine planes hold their altitude on a single engine.*? \ This one did not. Paul went back to his seat, fastened his safety belt, drew the girl and the baby dose and waited. Now thg field was in sight, and those who could endure to look fronj the windows might see the red crosses the ambulances standing beside the runway. Paul touched the soft cheek of the (child, for of such were the Kingdom of Heaven. High above the field, beneath a flawless sky, sweating men in the tower saw the plane stagger home, the crippled bird in ragged, uncertain flight. For the Watchers, the thick black smoke wrote a signature of terror. On the field others Who anticipated their own airborne journeys. In the brief time between the plane’s appearance and the moment when her pilot set her down, and men rushed from the crash truck with fire extinguishers, the watchers had reacted according to their separate natures. Women cried out or* burst into tears or stood In stunned silence; men were mute or spoke senseless things in loud voices. There were those who could not look away had their lives depended on it, others who put their hands over their eyes. All prayed, whether dr not they were aware of it And to those who had come to welcome a traveler*, a life logt would mean ah-

Fred Busche And Son To Visit German Relatives

Fred Busche, well known Decatur automobile dealer, \ and his son, Henry Busche of Jacksonville, 111., will sail on the New July 22 for Notterdam, Holland, from where- they will go by train to Helpien, Germany, birthplace of Fred Busche. Fred Busche has not visited his homeland since 1909. He has one sister and three brothers still liying in Germany, while another brother, E. W. Busche, prominent Adams county farmer, lives-at Monroe. The eldpr Busche is bearing a letter of introduction from the office of Bishop Raines of the Indiana area of to,Bishop Lorner of Frankfurt, Germany, bishop of the German Methodist church- He also hopes to visit some of the Methodist churches in Germany.

other life, or many, completely altered. The fire was out; the plane disabled, and no more. It was not now an instrument of destruction, no longer flying: with death as |ts destination. The passengers emerged into the good air, the hot, clean sunlight and took their first steps. They surrounded the pilot, and presently he went to make his report. This was not his initial encounter and victory. If he shook it was with with gratitude and the never-absent sense of his responsibility. He thought of many things, now that he had time again, but mainly of th<sse whom he loved and who were dependent upon him. Paul spoke with his fellow passengers. A number said, “Thank you,” some earnestly, some with embarrassment. One man smote Paul upon the back and said heartitly, "Well, we got out of that one, guess our numbers weren’t up,” but a woman touched .his hand and told him, “I don’t know your name but I’ll never forget you," and the girl whose baby Paul carried for her said, as they walked together, "I’ll never forget you either Mr. Lennox." The passengers hurried to those who awaited them to telephone booths, and to send wires. The man who had thought to escape a problem by taking a plane was longest in his booth and emerged smiling, to go to the office and book a return flight. The girl and the child were met by her parents, white, shaken, thankful people who clutched her and the baby; the living flesh being the only reassurance. And she said to them of Paul, ‘T don’t know what we, would have done without him*.” They parted, after she had said that she would ope day come to see him and bring her husband, and Paul went off with Simon Adams’s oldest son, who for some time could find no words of greeting and, when he could speak, said only, "Thank God—for, if anything had happened to you ” "But nothing did,” Paul reminded him, a\yare that this was not in strict accordance with the truth. The services were held on the morning following his arrival, and that evening he took a train for New York. Lying in his lower berth, and not very comfortably because of his length, he listened to j the steady singing of the wheels for a long time. He thought of his recent escape with a gratitude ‘too great to be contained in words, even in the prayer of thanksgiving. He could not now accurately remember how, at any exact moment, he had felt, but knew that his major emotion had been one of rebellious astonishment rather than fear. He was also conscious that when, walking down the unsteady, unsubstantial aisle, he had said in his heart, "not my will, but thine resignation. For he had in no way been resigned to death, passionately believing that there was still much to accomplish. For this he could aisk forgiveness and know it was his. for to

. ask, meaning it, that Is all, the sum and substance. It is always there, and the heart has only to reach out and receive. And now he thought that, having been spared, he must accomplish twice as much. ! The thing was abundantly clear. In what might have been almost his last conscious thought, bls mind had turned; toward Constance Marshall, informed with anguished desire to reach her, to say that in having loved her iie/nao been right; in having rejected his love, wrong. Thinking ot this he was aware, as he had been in the plane, of his presumption. By what arbitrary yardstick had he measured her, how Could he guess what rich resources of the spirit animated her, how know? For knowledge takes a lifetime. Now he was again reminded of his Easter sermon. He had preached to a congregation. It had been better if he had preached to himself. Not he had counseled, but vision, love, faith. He might have added "experiment.” By these means a man attains to the knowledge of God and of those created in His image. There had not been a time in which this had been imperative; nor one when its operation was more necessary than now. Such knowledge is not Imparted by a yardstick, whether that of textbook. philosopher, psychologist, oi fallible formula . . •. but through the receptive and believing heart The great experiences are imponderable; the experiences of God, and of human devotion, sacrifice, suffering, happiness. Imponderable - and miraculous. Never say there are no miracles, he thought, the Christian faith is founded upon one. All he knew of Connie was good; kindness, generosity, candor, tt, as he had once argued, it was not possible for her to experience his sense of personal dedication, it did not premise that she was not herself dedicated. There is more than one method erf dedication; only a Pharisaic reasoning would have ft otherwise.
