Newer Treatments Aid Anemia

By HERMAN N. BUNBESEN, M.D. H \ FOR many years doctors have’' r been baffled by several of the rarer types of anemia. Now some ' of these" conditions are being j brought under control with new-1 er surgical methods and newer 5 medicines. In anemia, the red cells of thp t>lood lack the necessary amount' of an important substance, hemop globin. When severe,, this condfp tian can lead to extreme weak* ness of the patient. . ' Oell* Carry Oxygen The blood gets its red color: from these red cells. They ares really tiny disks containing oxygen, and they carry their vital aupplies to all the tissues, cells,’; and organs of the body. 1 Hemoglobin is the material in the cells which carries the oxy* gen. Hence, It Is necessary for life. This substance is made up of iron that's combined,with a coloring material. J A low supply of hemoglobin in the blood acts like a sort of slow j starvation of the body cells. The anemic person looks pale, and may be short of breath, slow acting, and constantly tired. 1 Many Causes K There are many types pf anemia, and many different causes. Some of the more common ane*mias come from poor nutrition; that is, the person's diet does not have enough ironand other mini* erals, such as copper, which are necessary for the normal growth of red blood cells and production Os hemoglobin. Other types of anemia come from loss of blood, as in severe nosebleeds, from serious infec* tian* or from cancerous growths, A lack of vitamin B-12 or liver

SYNOPSIS I After a brilliant formal wedding, Roger arid Emily Field settle io a fine old bouse on Beacon Hill. Boston, the 1 gift of Emily's rich, eccentric Grandmother Forces. Brian Collins and : David Solomont. law firm associates of Field, are frequent callers herei Reach- ; Ing home, weary and spent ene eve- . ning. Field finds his wife seated alone with Solomont. i CHAPTER SEVEN ’ WHEN Roger walked into the i library, he saw David and Emily were seated close to the fire, so absorbed in what they were saying to each other that neither was instantly aware of his entrance. For a moment, Roger had the strange feeling that he was the interloper, that it waa David who really belonged there in the library, beside the fire With Emily- He tried unsuccessfully to suppress It as both preposterous and morbid, and went forward, making an effort to speak cordially and naturally, but the sickening sense of intrusion became Stronger and stronger. Emily had not come quickly into the hall, to welcome him home with a loving caress, the way she had always deme before; instead she sat very still, her white dress dazzling against the crimson of her chair, her lovely face almost expressionless. David, on the contrary, leaped up, holding* out his hand and exclaiming, “Hello there! You have had a day of it!” before Roger himself could think of anything to say. Yes, it was as if David were the host, as if he were the outsider and as if Emily did not belong wholly to him any more. **You*re right. I have had a day of it,” he answered wearily. Even his voice did not sound like his own, just as this room did not seem like his own and Emily did not seem like his own. He turned away from David and looked at her, hoping for help, and she did not give it to him. He knew this must be because she could not, tor some reason that he did not understand, and that he ought to help her out. Perhaps ft would be better if he asked her to tell him what she had done, rather than to go on trying to tell her what he had done. Perhaps he should ask her how she happened to be sitting in their house on Joy Street, his rind hers, alone with David’ Salomont, instead of being at the Copley Plaza with a group of their old friends. After she had told him that,* everything would be all right. It was because she* sat qo still, because she did not smile or speak that everything seemed so strange and sickening. Well, tie would ask het. But David spoke again before he could frame the question. “Your lose was certainly my gain,” David said, still with good cheer. “Emily was kind enough to call me up and ask me to fill to at Air. Lathrop’s dinner. Natural-

ly, 1 was delighted to do so. Then, < after dinner she decided she’d like i to come back here and wait for, < you, instead of going on to the < Waltz Evening. She didn’t want to miss you when you did get home. So we’ve been sitting here beside the fire talking—why. for almost a couple of hours now! I don't know when I’ve enjoyed myself so much. TU run along now though. By the way, bow’d you make out in Salem?" "Well, that’s a iong story—" "Than it’ll keep tm morning" "I have to go back to Satan in ; the morning. The case isn’t closed yet.” , That wasn’t the thing to say. He ought to have thanked David for filling in, be ought to have said i he was glad his friend could keep his wife company through a Long and disappointing evening. But he didn’t feel grateful to David, he wasn’t glad to find him with Emily in the library. Ha bated him. And that was puerile and senseless. David had done the right thing at the right time, just as he always did. The right thing? The kind of thing that got him ahead... "Good night, Emily. Thanks again for everything." '“Good night, David. Thank you for everything." Well, she had spoken at last, she had smiled at last. Now everything would be better. But everything was not better. David had, gone over to the chair where Emily waa sitting and put bis arm around the back of it. He did not touch her and yet, as he bent over her, the effect was that of a caress offered and accepted. He stayed there for a moment looking down at her, not saying anything more, not needing to. Then he straightened up and shook hands with Roger, still speaking cheerily, and afterward be was gone. ! • The front door closed behind him with a bang. Emily rose and came over to Roger, putting her lovely arms around his neck. "Darling” she said gently. "Darling, fm so sorry yoii’ve had suoh an awful dxy. 4 couldn't lean to say anything before David, but now we re alone, we can have a. good talk. First though, you've got to have a drink and something to eat. Ellie’* left everything ready, in the pantry. Please sit down and rest, while i get it for you.” He was too tired to protest, too tired to say she must not wait * on him, or that he wasn't hungry, or that ail right, be would get ths whisky and sandwiches filmself. Emily brought them in, quietly and expertly, and set them down on the table before him. She filled two tall glasses with Ice from a thermos bucket and poured out I two drinks, a stiff one for Roger i and a light one; for herself. Then i she uncovered the .sandwiches, foldina back the damn nankin to

No—don’t bother with the tray. I’ll take it back to the pantry myself.'' The hatred that Roger had felt for David earlier that night welled tip within him, choking and suffocating him. And it was no longer the hatred of a man for another more successful and brihlant than himself;‘it was hatred for a rec-, ognized rival, who would have won a desired woman for his wife if he had been first oil the scene, and who might still hope to win her, if she were not the embodiment loyalty and steadfastuees,. ; Thank God, Emily was loyalty itself, steadfastness Itself. On that score hahad no anxiety. The anxiety Was all lor his own inadeBut that did not make him hate David Salomont the less.

Tax Study Commission In Recommendations

Editor’s note: This is the fourth, and last of a series of articles outlining various phases of the recommendations of the Indiana tax study comtaaission, which have been submitted to members of the 1953 legislature tor action at its session beginning in January. __ Mayors and other officials of Indiana cities and towns have been contending for years that it was becoming increasingly difficult to raise sufficient money , locally to carry on the necessary services of local government. Local school officials ’ have made similar coihplaihts. I Both the civil and school agencies of local government in recent legislative sessions have come to demand more and more in aid from the state government. Tn the latest fiscal year, more than 40 "percent or >119,841,600 of Indiana’s state disbursements have gone to aid local government units. \ The Indiana tax study oommission. created by the 1951 state legislature to report its recommendations on tax policy to the 1953 legislature convening in January, has taken cognizance of, this 'situation and also of the demands for “home rule” in the communities with a minimum of state regulation. Taking the stand that “the integrity and vitality of local government requires fiscal responsibility,” the commission attacked the local financing problem in two* major ways: (1) By recommending elimination of the state property tax of 15 cents per >IOO of assessed value and elimination of the state poll tax of >1.56 on males 21 to 50 years old, and (2) By recommending that Jpgislative authority be given cities, towns and school districts to levy a on the gross income tax payments of taxpayers within their jurisdiction. The first suggestion would give local units the opportunity to increase their property tax rates tor local purposes by 15 cents and increase their poll taxes by >1.50. without increasing the present total property tax rates or poll tax-

es imposed on their citizens. Based on current collecttons, the state, if the recoanmendation is adopted, would be releasing a total of-About >8,8W,004 of property tax revenue to be picked up by local governmental units and schools where they need or desire the additional revenue. The state would sacrifice about >BOO,OOO in poll taxes tor the potential benefit of local units. Adoption of a local surtax on the state gross income tax to provide local revenues would be entirely optional with each community. The state legislation would be only permissive, not mandatory. Local taxes enacted, unakr the recommendation, would be Rm tied to 25 percent of the present gross income tax payments and could be made subject to a popular referendum on petition of a small group of taxpayers opposed to such a tax. On the other hand, a referendum proposing adoption of such a tax could be initiated also by a small group of taxpayers. Similar enabling legislation failed to pass in the 1951 sessions of the legislature. At the maximum of 25 percent of present gross income tax as recommended by the commission, the local payipents of individuals on salaries, wages and commissions and the payments of retail merchants would be equal to the present payments they are mas- - ing, based on gross income, to? the state veterans' bonus. The local tax for taxpayers paying gross income tax at the rate of k at 1 percent would amount to onefourth of their present bonus tax payments'. Sufficient money to pay the veterans* bnous is expected to be raised by early 1954 at which time under the present law the bonus tax would be discontinued. The commission suggested that if local surtaxes are approved, the tax collection should be made by the state gross income tax division at the same time gross income taxes are paid, and the funds returned by the state to the local units.
