Upset Emotions Often Cause Bladder or Kidnoy Symptoms

By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.D. THE emotions cah have a definite effect on the? bladder and urinary system, as Anyone knows who has raised children or even , kept pets. \So wte should not be surprised to learxi that upset emotions can soriietimes masquerade behind a bladder or kidney disorder. ' Quite a number of patients complain of urinary trouble even though a careful- examination fails to show aify sign of a definite disease. In many of these Cases an examination of the person’s psychological background ttveals a definite tte-up between the disorder and some emotional strain or frustration. When\this is explained to the person, the trouble leaves by itself. I Cystitis an Example ' An example is the bladder inflammation known as cystitis, Which is not uncommon in women.- Usually they complain of painful and frequent urination with severe burning. They also , have to urinate many times during the day. i r • < In most cases there is a real Infection or some dither cause for this bladder disturbance. In sis--1 teen per cent of the cases, however, the are due to an emotional disturbance. When the psychological or emotional causes behind the bladder symptoms are discussed with these women, the symptoms usually (disappear. ; * ; Many men also have bladder _and kidney symptoms without'

Expect Decrease In Farm Income , Five Percent Cut Likely Next Year "WASHINGTON, UP — The hation’s farmers, riaught between rising costs and declining foreign demand for their crops iare in for a five percent cut in thriir income next year, the agriculture department predicted ioday. A farm income report said that while domestic demand for farmers’ products should remain strong next year, “’some reduction in demand for export of U. S. farm products seems likely.” , The result, according to the report, is that farmers’ gross income in 1953 should be about the same as this year, when it hit the record high;, of 837.000,000.000. A\t the same time, the report estimated tjiat farmers’ production expenses may Increase two percent from the $23,400,000,000 it cost to produce this year’s crops. “With no increase in farmers’ gross incoriie expected next year, and some further rise; in their expenses, farmers’ total realized net tricorne may be reduced abput five percent,” the report said.: 1 j Jlet income is what the farmer has left in His pocket after he has paid off expenses for livestock, fertilizer, machinery, seed, feed and other items. Farmers retained as net income about 50 percent of the annual gross income from 1942 through 1947. Since then expanses have risen so that in 1952 only about 38 percent of the gross income remained as riet income,; The report noted that farmers’ purchasing power is lower \ than in any of the previous 10 years except 1950: v i —• Pair Sentenced For Automobile Thefts \ NOBLESVILLE, Ind.

CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN “WHAT’S it al) about, Denny? Why are we still goihg oh?’ 4 ■, It was Kathleen who. asked, and the old-timers said that it took a trip up the river to get to know a man—or a woman. If that was so, Kathleen was Standing the' test. Deeply concerned as sihe was, she accepted things as they came, not complaining. 1 „ J- \ “This is a* trip to the moon,” he said, gravely,\ and told what he had learned of their real destination. There were facts that cbuldn’t be reconciled, mental quirks and actions that didn’t fit. Up to now these had bothered Rawls’ relentlessly logical mind, but they did so: no longer. For himself, he’d never reach the heights of imagination to which Mark Whirter soared, but he. could understand such a man Where there was a flash of genius there were also gaps. Generally those turned out to be weaknesses to wreck a man before he attained pis goal. Few had the skill or the luck of a Hannibal “You mean,” Kathleen asked, “that it’s a trip to the moon because it’s so wildly impossible?” "Something like that,” he agreed. "It's 1 a reaching for things out of the ordinary grasp. Somehow he’s got to be stopped. Probably he'll stop himself by trying top hard. But he’ll tiever quit short of death, tie knows what he’s up against, and from now on he’ll fight harder than ever.” “You rather admire him, don’t you?” “Yes, I do. I consider him utterly. completely mistaken—but he believes in what he’s doing, and deeply enough to give his life for it.” > “But you don’t think he can put it over?" i \ i' “1 think he might, if he could control everything," Rawls said seriously. “But he’s putting tns trust in outlaws at the gold camps, Renegades of the worst kind. I wouldn’t trust them for a minute.” ' Kathleen ' nodded, and her own understanding of this man and his methods was broadened. In him was strength to match that of Mark Whirter, and tn addition he had a vast patience. It could explode to terrible action on occasion, but he had away of letting things work themselves out—at least, until ; the moment eame to give them a nudge. She smiled at him, then swung about, startled, at tnte heavy tramp of feet. Whirter stood there. Anger burned in his eyes, but with' it was

a sort Os obscure* satisfaction, as thotigh, naving been goaded td a, decision, it pleased him to know that he was right in taking it. “You’re going to hate me," he said bluntly, addressing both of them. "Though 1 venture that you'll also like what I’m going to do. Find a good spot for Anchoring,” he adaed. “What’s going on ?” Rawls asked. “You’ll find out. Come along, both of you." ■ \ i Once the two packets were at anchor, a sate distance off from shore, in a quiet backwater afforded by the lee of an\ island, he explained. Astrid was there, looking angry, and Whirter met her glance with a level unconcern. “We’re going to have a wedding aboard," he said bluntly. “A double Redding, tn fact. It’s-easy to see tliat you and Miss Garrison are in love with each other, Rawls. Likewise, it has been understood for quite a while that Astrid and I are to marry." “All that you want of me is to be Lbmax McQuestfon’s son-in-law," Astrid retorted furiously. She had bearded the lion in his den, and she had struck fire—a flame that frightened her now. “1 did want that, once, though it’s of no importance noW," Whirter replied. “You’ve peen trying to stir up trouble-4-and With only four women along, and two shiploads of men, and two of the women white, it’s easy to have trouble, of a sort that you might not relish.” ' He spoke with a cold dispassion twice as frightening As anger, gazing from one to the other. j , “So I’m taking steps, as a prudent man must, to solve this woman problem. .Rawls and I are ship captains, and as such we haves the power to piarry people. I’ll marry you and Miss Garrison, Rawls. You will perform the ceremony for Astrid and myself. Now.” “1 certainly have no intention of marrying you," Astrid snapped, and color, burned hot in her cheeks. She started to say more, then bit her lip and controlled per tongue. But Whirter did not let it go at that. “Why?" he prodded. "Must you ask ?” she demanded. “It’s enough that I don't care to. 4 * “If you have any serious objections, I’m willing to listen \to them,” he conceded. "But on the whole, I think it will be much better to do it my way, now. The others are raising no Kathleen looked at Rawls. The blood pulsed in her cheeks and

Or would you like it better reversed—Astrid to marry Rawls, Kathleen to be my blushing bride?" | Rawls nad controlled his anger: up to now But this plit a strain on it that was , hard to bear. ’ “Neither, the one nor the other,” he retorted. “Have you lost your miiKk Whirter?” “It’D be one or the other," Whirter growled, and his rage was an answering spark, “Yaus and everyone else will do well to get it through your heads that I’m master hete.

CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT A GENERAL assembly was braboard the Vartna the next morning; tb include all who could be spared from the Astrid's crew; as well. "We ll have a proper burial service before proceedihg," Whirter said. “We still have a long way to go.” He opened, a Bible, thumbed through it Taber interrupted. "Do you mean that we’re still going on—after what’s happened?” he asked incredulously., “Going on?” Whirter’s eyes were frosty. “Os course. Nothing has happened tio ( change our plans. Nothing will change them." A protesting murmur ran among \ the gathered crewrfien, and uneasy glances were cast at the not-dis-tant shores at what the leafy greeri of trees might conceal. JJol Sherwood hesitated, then backed his partner. “It soupds to me like a crazy notion, Cap’n, going on When the Injuns are so hostile,he said , bluntly. "We never expected nothin' like this when you said you had a job—” ! “Shut up I” The words were a sudden roar of pent-up anger. “I’ll stana for ho back talk ftom anyone, much less from a bungler like you—” .! ’ V That was the moment when an [ arrow came winging out from among the trees, hard-driven, It buried itself in Sherwood’s fat throat, so that he staggered and choked, t,hen sought to wrench at it with both hands. As he tugged, crinteon giished suddenly, and he pitched forward on his face, the arrow still quivering. For a breathless moment there was no sound, while [men stared in fascination. No crash of guns or further flight of arrows followed, pnjy that single missive that had been so well aimed. A count of ten could have been taken over the fallen man while the silence endured; Then, with a choking grupt that was almost a scream, Taber turned and leaped toward Whlr t e r, and a knife gleamed in hand. - I No orie saw the gun appear in fist He still held the Bible in the! other, and Taber’S jump was fast, but not so quick as the gun.

After a moment, Whirter went on, almost as if nothing nad happened. i “Mr. Earnshaw, please have these unfortunates prepared for burial, also? We’ll use pne service for all. And move everyone to the main saloon, as a precautionary measure." . The sudden rage had gone out of him, but’ it had had Its effect. Momentarily, at least, the spirit of revolt was quelled; No one commented as preparations went forward. Whirter prepared to conduct the funeral, placing the Bible on a desk, and ostentatiously lay-’ ing his revolver beside it. Thumbing for the place he sought, he read a passage, interning the words solemnly. “As for man, his days are as grass; as,a flower of the field, So he flourisheth. "For the wind' passeth over it, and it Is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more.” He signed to some of the hands as the service was ended, and the canvas-wrapped, weighted bodies were taken out. Whirter closed the book and reached for the gun. , “I’Ve been aware of the talk that’s been going on for some time,” he said. "Mutinous talk, men saying that it’s folly to go on. I’ll have no of it. Those who signed for this enterprise knew that they were embarking upon a risky venture, btit it was for home and country. Nothing is altered. Remember that you are under my orders as your superior officer, that your only hope of salvation lies in sticking together find doing as I say. i ; ■ ; “Mutiny would bring not alone the Savage hordes upon us. Escape from them leaves you in a wilderness, in the enemy country, v and out of Uniform, where your status is nothing Jess than that pf spies. K6ep it in mind that I make the decisions, and that we are going on.” He paused, theri turned to Rawjs. "Mr. Rawls, we will get under way, please. At once." ‘ Rawls had listened to the service, Wondering anew what sort of man this was. Now he shook his head. “1 have an idea that we’ve come far enough. So far as I’m concerned? we certainly have.”

“Meaning that you r e fu s i tc pilot any more?” I , \ "tJpriver, yes." Whirter’s reaction was not quite what the others had expected. He lodked at Astnd. ’ “Have you, by any chance, changed your mind? About marrying 'pne ?” “After yoia’ve murdered my father!?” Astrid’s voice broke on grief and anger. “I should say not!” . Whtrter shrugged. His demeanor became icy. | "f "Unless you pilot us, Mr. Rawls, you become merely excess baggage, an encumbrance aboard and of no possible use to the purposes of this expedition.

Whirter returned to the Astrid. with no further word to anyone.
