\a “friendly suit” to test the x constitutionality of a proposal for financing a new state office building will be filed in Marion county court. The new building may cost ten million dollars and the proposal involves private financing of" the project, with the state redeeming the building on a rental basis.

Excess Fat Can injure Liver

By HERMAN N. BUNDESEH, M.D. ” TIME and again, 1 have stated that all evidence points to, the fact that, overweight increases the chances for various diseases Os the body to become manifest. Overweight people’ are more sub\ ject to diabetes, high blood prey : sure,, heart disease, gall bladder disease and many other sudh dis- I eases. And in recent years it' has' been shown that the liver is also Injured by excessive oody fat. A group of men has just been itudied who were between fifty to one hundred per cent overweight. None of these men had previous episodes of liver disease or were exposed to any influences, such as , alcohol or chemicals, which might i Injure the liver. Impaired Functions Various tests were made to de- i termine the different liver actions ! and how well the body was per-! \ forming them. In all cases, it was • shown that the liver was not aet- > tng up to its normal capacities.! Such functions as the utilization j of starches and fats and proteins! were impaired. Definite liver in-; fury was shown by these tests. A sample of liver tissue was also examined underneath the micro- i scope after it was removed by a special needle, and in all the persons examined, there was a high

The four-cejnt a gallon, gasoline tax was established in 1929. Since that time mileage in the state highway system has inpre* than doubled, now totaling 10,529 miles, Albert J. Wedekirig, chairman of the Indiana highway commission, statejd at the Purdue road school last woety Emphasising the lack of funds for road. building Mr. Wedeking said, “Only the increased volume of traffic has enabled the highway commission td function at all.” W® hope there is no change in the plans for rebuilding US 27 nortlr of Decatur to the county line. , \ _ — 0 . Hospital Addition:— A flimsy criticism of \ plans for an addition to the Adams County Memorial Hospital, has been voiced by a tri-weekly newspaper in this county. The newspaper considers! :he addition too large, and infers that the hospital -does not need double its present bed capacity. V Criticism is, expec ed ii any public improvement,| but ":n the cdsfe of a hospital, school or other public institution.Jault-finding should be just the opposite, based on\ |he view that the buildirg will not meet future needs. Our buildings, like our roads out live a generation “nd become inadequate. The greatest error .that can be made is to skimp in building a hospital. It for no other reason, the growth in population alone wil| demand more hospita! facilities, > !“ Toadd ten or evend.O rooms to the hospital would not be building with a thought to the future. When the present hespita was dedicated in 1923, the county’s population was under 20,00). Today it i§ above the mark. . The ratio of hospital facilities is four and one-half bids! f|i each I.OOf population. On! this yardstick the plans (for ah additional 50 beds just meets the statd dnd national requirementsl ' In proposing a jjlOO.'oOO addition to the hospital, along with irtoidernization of surgery rooms, Xray laboratories and ;other facilities needed ip the cojunty hospital! the amount only hafr of the potential, bonding credit! of thecounty. . “ j > Wt contend that the greatest mistake in county plahning would be in not making the addition large enough to meet a reasonable future demand. ,ld we spend half or two-thirds of the aijnpunt asked and only soften the current urgent need without pjr qvid in g ■ I,' l' I ! ’ adequate facilities fqr the next criticism would be justified.

amount of damage to the cells. The persons suffering from this liver disease who were overweight had been overweight for oyer six years. The longer they werd overweight, the more severe the liver * disease. ! I Reducing Indicated ’ Therefore, it would seem that being overweight not only can 1 predispose to manyjother diseases ! but may also injure the liver, which is vital to normal living. Thus, with liver daihage due to overweight, the persod should reduce slowly and cautiously on a diet of 1200 t 0,1500 calories, daily. The diet should be low! m fats! and high In proteins and should con* i tain large amounts of the liver* j building vitamins known as choliine, inositol, -methibplhe, and ' high tn vitamin B complex. A diet ! high in proteins but low in i starches usually should contain a I large amount of beef liver, ' skimmed milk, fish and cottage I cheese. ' _ i' ■ QUESTION AND ANSWER \ J. R.

url AFTER THIRTY-ONE CAROL tiptoed across the room to .the kitchenette, shut the door, and started to prepare supper. Queer to think this was the: first time she’d cooked for Jason, put it was nice. | ' Her hands must have been unsteady, for, in reaching up to, one of the top shelves, she knocked down a jar of strawberry jam. It fell to the floor with a resounding crash: the glass container broke and the jam spilled over the floor. “Oh, heck,” she said;albud. ■ She was down on hey' kne^s'wiping it up, when the door\ opened and Jason put his head through. “Hejlo, darling! Doing; the chores?” ihie said cheelrfully. “But if you must knock something down off the shelf, why chjoose a- jam pot?” ’ j f \ ‘ She leaned back on h|er heels and laughed: She wasn’t Exactly;sure why she was other than it was good to see him standing there talking to her in this perfectly normal way. For the moment, she thrust all her fears into the back of her mihd. She felt unreasonably, absurdly (nappy. “It is a bit of a mess. I’m sorry if the crash awakened you." “I’m sorry I fell asleep in your apartment, but 1 felt rather done in when 1 got here. Hope you didn’t mihd my bluffing the. janitor into letting me in, put 1 didn’t feel like hanging arouhd in the hall.’’ He was smiling but, looking up at him, she noticed that the smile was strained. The bump on his temple looked ugly. She said mockingly, “It’s nice to know I have a brother over here." "I thought a brother was less Obvious than a cdusin,” he commented. y \ “You couldn’t have been just a boyfriend?” His smile slanted. “I whs. thinking of your reputation, darling." ; ’ Again she didn’t mind the “darling.” He hadn’t meant it, but still she didn’t mind. She had finished moppihg up the jam and had gdt to her feet There were a hundred questions she \ wanted to ask him, but she decided they’d better eat first. He looked hs though he could do With a meal. She had hamburgers, baked beans, and a large salad. “This looks good,” htf said. “When did you eat last?” He grimaced. “Yesterday sometime." She waited untiL he had eaten: then she could no longer keep the question back. "Where have you been, Jason?” > , He put his krilfe and fork down. “It’s quite a story, Carol.” “Julie came into the store before we closed. She said you’d disappeared with the Jaguar." “She thought I’d pinched the Jaguar?” He looked amused, “I don’t think she cared about the Jaguar. She was worrited about you.” “Bless her heart. She’s a grand little person," he said quietly. She felt a stab of jealousy. Julie had qaid today She’d fallen in love with Jason. How did Jason feel?

the ceremony? \ A. The bridegroom removes his right glove and holds it. in his left hand. The best man does not remove his gloves. If, however, it ,1s a double-ring ceremony, the bridegroom must remove both gloves, holding them in the 14ft hand, and then switching them to the right at the time the Ijride places her ring on his finger.

friendship ne d felt tor her into something deeper? x l | "She thought you plight have met with an accident," ”1 did, in away." He grinned unhumorously. “1 left her car in the garage and thumbed a ride here,” he added. "You didn’t see Julie?? ' "She wasn’t in.” “You left a note?” \ He jhesitated. “I thought, a note might, be intercepted. 1 don’t want to get ner into trouble, she nas enough to put up with, without the additional worry oi: having me hanging around.” His voice was gnm. "You’re not going back there ?" He shook his head. Hit wouldn’t be safe for her. 1 don’t mean her husband. He’s too craty about her tp do her .any harm.” “Jason, what are you going to do?” She pushed her plate aside. “1 don’t think it’s safe tor you to stay around here. Julie said it wasn’t. What gave you that bump on your forehead?" He grirtacecj. ‘i’ll tell you, though it sounds fantastic. Fantastic and rather horrible.” He paused briefly. “After that little dust-up with .Maxie, 1 decided I’d better keep clear until the party broke up. Frankly, I hadn’t wanted to force an issue so soon ” \ , “You knocked him down because of what he said to rrte»" His grin twisted. "The big hero. Don’t get any romantic illusions about me, my dear. It’s just that I’ve got a rather devilish temper. I was still in a rage when 1 took the car out and decided to drive down to Hollywood—that’s a resort on the , other side of Fort Lauderdale. near the big race track—where, J pile told me the other night, Maxie has a house. I thought I’d have a look around, ft seemed fairly safe, since Maxie was at the barbecue and Julie said he was leaving afterwards for Jacksonville. __ } “It’s quite a place, Hollywood, newly developed with a mammdth luxury hotel on the beach thdt So mi nates the whole scene. 1 asked le doorman where Maxie Rosenthal lived. Dirtectly I mentioned Maxie’s name, his manner became almost servile. The house was some way out of, town, closed in by high walls. I noticed as 1 drove up that it was shuttered and the gates locked. 1 figured out, it being Sunday, whatever servants Maxie kept might have taken the day off. I parked the car tn a grove of palm trees some distance down the toad, took a few tools out of the kit, and went back to reconnoiter. 1 found a place at the back where 1 could scale the wall. The house looked more like an opiate prison than a privatg dwelling; all downstairs windows were barred. I don’t know*what got into me, but I thought I’d get inside if I could. First, 1 took the precaution of ringing the backdoor bell just to make sure the coast was clear. I don’t know what excuse I’d have given had someone come, but no one did. 1 had another walk around and saw that a door at the side didn’t look quite as heavily constructed as the others. I’m not exactly a skilled hand at housebreakimr.” b«

There was ar small man in a wheel chair. 1 suppose the rubber on the wheels had made his approach noiseless. I nad a hard time not crying out, for he was a horrible sight. His face was scarred so badly that some of the features were obliterated and he had scarcely any hair. 1 noticed a neavy\stick lying across his knees. 1 moved back sharply, waiting for him to ask me what 1 was doing tnere. But—and this is the mad part, Carol —-he bowed low and said, with great cordiality, ’Welcome. Mr. President.' ’’ “He said ‘Welcome Mr. President 1 f‘ Carol gasped. Jason nodded. "I thought he must be kidding me. I didn’t say anything, and he w.ent on: ’l’m glad you’ve come, Mr. President, but after those letters I wrote you I knew ybu’d come.’ . “I dtecideil that the cripple in the chair must be bats. ’Naturally I came iri answer to your letters, ’ I muttered. “He lekned forward and said in a hoarse, pager voice, ‘You’ll get me out ot here, Mr. President?

I moyed forward. ‘l’m awfully sorry about jail this,' I said, feeling my way. ‘Perhaps I could help you.’ ’But ot'course you can,' he rapped out; ‘Yob are the President df the United States ?’ /Well . . .’ il began awkwardly. ‘Anyway, I’d like to help you if 1 can,' I ended.” Jason paused. He took a cigaret out ot a package in his pocket and lit it slowly. “1 don’t know what' made me step forward at that point, but 1 did and came within range of his stick. He was pretty quick with it. As he crashed it against my temples, I heard him give a hoarse, gleeful laugh. That’s all I knew until pometime around noon today. 1 was lying in the same grove of palms where I’d parked the car. My head was throbbing and. I felt sick, but I managed to get to my feet and to the . can There was a typewritten note on the steering wheel.” He handed her a crumpled sheet of paper. The message was typewritten. It read: Let this be a warning. Next time you won't be so lucky. Carol stared down at the note. “Jason, Tm afraid . . ." she whispered. Her voice broke sharply- ’ He took the paper from her and put it back into his pocket. Then, he took both her hands in his andy said gently. “Don’t worry, darling.
