A charter member of Bluffton’s Rotary club, he served as first president of the club in 1919, and through inter-city gatherings of this service organization acquired a host of friends in this city and northeastern Indiana. 7 Restraining public indighalion over first-hand reports of atrocities and fiendish tortures committed by the Chinese Reds against American and South Korhan ptrisoners of war is difficult, to say the least.

A Malignant Disease of Blood That May Destroy Bone Tissue

By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.D. WE have all heard of leukemia, a disease ’n which the white blood ceils multiply to so great a degree that they overwhelm the entire blood system. Another malignant’ disease of the blood which is hot too uncommon but whlch we hear very little about, is known as multiple myeloma. In this disease, there is a pathological overgrowth of a certain type of blood cell which is known as the plasma cell. These plasma cells overgrow to such a great degree that they may destroy the bone tissue. So much bone may be destroyed by these cells that a fracture or break may occur without any inkjury to cause ft. The person may fracture his ankle or thigh while walking. '' \ i This disease can also "affect the kidneys and can cause permanent damage. It changes the urine’s composition. In fact, one of the tests used for diagnosis of this disease is made by heating the urine up to a certain temperature. At this temperature it will become very cloudy if multiple myeloma is present, due to a certain type of- protein substance being precipitated. — To Confirm Diagnosis ■ However, to prove the diag- _ nosls, usually a portion ,of the bone marrow may be removed with a special needle and exam--Ined under a microscope. The overgrowth of the plasma cells, \if seen in the specimen, makes the diagnosis absolute. There may be a great deal of hone pain with this disease. Usually, the spine and the legs are The pain also may be In

( —_o 0— \ ) ■ ■ ' " Piesidei t Eisenhower surprised many members in congress and business leaders in the country with his announcement that he favored the St<Lawrence seaway. In further explanation of his position on this mpch discussed international project, the President has announced that) he will confer with his cabinet before he outlines his policy to congress:. The Presi- \ dent’s Secutity Commission recommended ; the building of the seaway for security reasons. That is commendable, but here in the piidwest lt will open) the Great Lakes for ocean traffic and give this section of the country direct -access to theSAtlantic. The seaway.should be built aS; a joint national project between the United States, and Canada. —o—o—- — North Church:— Boston’s Christ Church is one of \the oldest historic sites in the States..; Pest jkndjwn as “The Old North Church,” it was built in 1723 and Served the religious needs of the eaßly settlers. In 1775 it was to play a role that made it one of the shrines of American liberty; i! i , Oh April 18, a light blinked twice from the stedple of the church. It was a prearranged signal that warned patriots of the approach of the British by sea. It was the signal for Paul Revere to begin his icelebrated jride. But time and the elements have not spared the 230-yeat-old building. It is 'in need of repairs and the cost of restoring old buildings is great: A group of patriotic citizens has' launched a campaign to raise the money, that will be needed. They call Itheijnselvesi the Lantern League. | | \ The League is performing a useful public service.

It 15 interesting that multiple myeloma i&n disease of advanced middle Age. Eighty per cent of the persons: having this disease are over forty, and the average age of the patients having this disease is fifty-live years. In most cases, male patients outnumber the female, i \| . ™ Much research has been done in trying tp cure multiple myeloma. Drugjs such as radioactive phosphorus, antimony, ACTH and cortisone halve been used. All have been found ~ wanting, although some help has been found in certain cases with these drigs. Recently, a. new drug known as ethyl carbamate has been used. In some of the cases given this drug, the bone has informed its calcium and the persons have been relieved of the severe and, unbearable pain of the disease. It is believed that if earlier diagnosis of th Vs blood disease is made, many more cases will be helped and life tn many of these , cases can be prolonged for many years. QUESTION AND ANSWER H V Y.: Is there any particular diet of help for someone with high blood pressure? Answer*. A diet that is idw la salt or sodium is sometimes helpful In treating high blood pressure. Since most foods contain salt, a diet of rice and fruits may be advisable for several weeks. Better' consult your doctor.

JENNIFER CHAPTER THIRTY-EIGHT CAROL sat back in her chair and just stared at Don Haskin after he revealed his startling news. i “Wainwright’s is going to buy Felton’s f But—but .they aren’t the same sort of store! Wainwright’s caters to a much cheaper trade, a shoddy trade, and Felton’s has always had a great tradition for the” best of everything. Felton’s has always stood for so much, the best- merchandise, the right prices. It’s—it’s looked 4 up to not only by our customers but by most other stores." \j 1 ■ ' He shrugged/ "Felton's may have the tradition, but WainWright's does a bigger business," he reminded her. •I know. Fake bargains, dam-aged-goods sales, undercutting other stores by putting goods out on the counter and pretending they’re shop-soiled. Wainwright’s knows all the tricks of, a quick turnover, but Felton’s has never dealt that. way. It’s too reputable a store.” He shrugged again. "They want Feltons/ And they’re willing, to pay a good price, as I said.” "Os course they are—and of course they want it." 'She was talking fast and furiously. \ "To merge with Felton's would give them some sort of standing, but they would never understand the tradition of honest, decent trading that has made Felton’s what it is 1 ; they couldn’t help dragging Felton’s down, and in no time Felton’s would'cease to be anything it has stood so would be just another branch of 1 Wainwright’s." She paused breathlessly. Her next words were almost a plea. “Don't you see that, Mr. Haskin?" \ But she saw that he wasn’t interested. His face had hardened, his smile was faintly supercilious. “You’re an idealist,' Miss Marston, and, if I may say so, your point <jf view'is old-fashioned. Every must progress and v Wainwright’s is essentially a progressivestore. Another thing—they’re more or less agreed to keep on all the Felton personnel.” “You’ll be staying, Mr. Haskin?” J “No, I shan’t be staying.” For the first time, he looked faintly but of countenance. “I shall be leaving England shortly after this deal has gone through. I was referring to the—the employes." He paused. "I’m quite sure,” he’went on, resuming his suave manner, "you’d find your new appointment as buyer for Model\ Gowns perfectly . safe when you got back.” Carol was about to say she’d never go back under those conditions, put if she pretended to play along with him, undoubtedly, she’d learn more, than she would if she antagonized him, and what he was telling her would be news that Jason wotild want to hear. “You think Wainwright’s Would honor the appointments?" she asked quietly. He nodded. "Don’t you worry about that The main thing is to get these papers signed at once. They might change their minds. Even big business houses do that.” - He smiled faintly. “I have,” he tapped hjs breast pocket, *'a substantial checkhere. If I told you the sum, you wouldn’t believe it.” He laughed, beckoned the waiter

And undoubtedly the liquor on top of his three nights’ traveling had loosened his tongue. “I might be able to! find out where Mrs. Felton 'is,” she said slowly. - \ ’His ready smile came again. "Good girl.” He patted one of her hands on the table. ’ She resisted an impulse to snatch it away. "You think Appleton knows? Tell me, what’s been going, on between him and Thelma—l mean, Mrs. Felton?” . \ “I don’t know that there’s anything between them, Mr. Haskin." "Come now,” his voice sharpened. | "Women always -know. I saw something was blowing up in London before she lefjt. Goodlooking fellow, young and inexperienced,- of course. Too young and Inexperienced for Thelma.” He gave a short, rather coarse laugh. “But she’ll come to her senses, once I’ve had a chance to talk to her. She always does what I tell her in the end.” Suddenly he brokte off as though he realized he was talking too much. She said slowly. “Derek and she were very friendly on the ship." He nodded. He finished his drink, called for another. The professional smile was gone; his face had fallen intb heavy, morose lines. "I guessed that when she tried to get out of talking to me. She’s a fool. He’s no good to her. She’d be as bored with him in .no time as she vjas with—’! But again he broke off. -She got to her feet “I must hurry back to the store.” &But , you’ll let me know where she. is? Get it out of Appleton. I’ll be waiting for your call. And when I do hear, I’ll send that cable off to England,” he added meaningly. \ ; s All she thought of for the rest of that afternoon was that she had to see Jason. She knew how much the news of the imminent sale of Felton’s to the Wainwright combine would mean to him. It meant a great deal to her too, more than she would have believed. •'■.Derek came into the department just before they closed. Miss Henniger was in the fitting room with a customer; Carol was alone. ■ pi "I had to go down to Miami on business. \Care to come for a ride? We could pick up supper somewhere along the coast,” he suggested, smiling down at her in a nice, eager way. l”I’d like to go out and see how Julie is, if you’d drive me.” He nodded. “AU right; we’U look in there first Merchandise moVing along nicely, Miss Marston?” he asked iln a more professional manner as Miss Hennigcr ahd her custoiqer emerged from the fitting room". But he winked at Carol as he left the department. On the way out to the Gallets’ she told him of Don’s arrival. “i guess he’s come to see Thelma. Does ,he know where she’s staying?” - ' ‘ “I didn’t know that she’d want him to know.” "Oh, why not?” he asked, spr-« ‘ prised. “He’s her managing dlpecI tor; isn’t he? I-don’t understand I this -hiding away up at Veto Bea Ch. I hate all this subterfuge.” "Then she’s arrived." He noddei "There was a mes-

The open Cadillac spurted for a few moments, passing several cars, then he slowed down again as they drove along the coast line. “I guess we’re all susceptible to flattery, especially from an older woman.” He gave a half-shame-faced grin. \ “I never meant it to be serious. If Haskin comes around me, as undoubtedly he will, I’ll tell him where she Is.” 1 ] “Derek, don’t do that yet—not quite yet,” she begged. He \turned and looked at her in genuine surprise. “But why not?” “I—let’s talk of it later tonight,” she murmured. “Anything you say, darling.” But he looked at her oddly. When they called at the GaUets’, Uie nurse opened the door. “Yes, Mrs. GaUet is getting along fine. She’ll be up in a day or so,” she said. ’Tm just having some supper in the kitchen. Mrs. Gallet’s man, Gus, has stepped out for a few minutes.

But these husbands who dote on their wives.” She shrugged and grimaced. “I’ll go back and finish my supper while you’re talking to her.” \ i - ■ ! !\- The'tableau they saw lasted only a minute, but for Carol, at least, it was just that one minute too long. She and Derjek stood in the open doorway "of Julie’e bedroom and saw Jason bend over and kiss Julie on the lips. Derek coughed and both Jason and Julie turned towards them sharply. Julie was crying. ' i TT “Hello, you two,” she said. “Sorry I’m sniveling, but I feel pretty lousy. Jason was—was being kind." Just as he’s bceh kind to me, Carol thought bitterly. Kissing me and then telling me to go on and marry Derek. But maybe with Julie he meant it. . “We dropped in to see how you were, Julie,” Derek said rather stiffly. He didn’t acknowledge Jason. j Sweet .Derek, Carol thought, he’ll always be conventional. He would not approve of any man kissing another man’s wife, no matter What the circumstances. I She agreed, of course, and yet because his .attitude implied a criticism of Jason she was annoyed. “I’m getting on fine,” Julie said, hastily brushing the tear# out of her eyes and reaching for a powder puff, “Nice of you to (drop by.” "And so opportunely,’’ Jason said, and grinned. \? j Detek's large frame went, “ff possible, stiffer. I “We can’t stay long. We’re on our way out to supper.” But he sat down on the edge of one <jf the white-satin armchairs. "I’ll leave you two to stand guard over Julie. There are several things I want to do in the garage,” Jason said. Carol could think of no excuse to detain him, and yet she had to talk to him. ' (To Be CofltinpedJ
