Diet Important in Prevention Os Attacks Os Kidney Stones

By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.D. I ANYONE who has gone through an attack of kidney stones is eager to avoid any further experience of this kind. I receive frequent questions on how to prevent these painful stones. - - Many kidney stones cause no pain, either remaining in the kidney or passing through to the bladder while still very small. These are known as silent stones. The trouble comes when the stone grows large and has difficulty passing through the narrow tube leading from the kidney, known as the ureter. . a First Symptom As a rule, the first sign of trouble from kidney stones is a severe stabbing pain, or colic. This can become one of the most excruciating types of pain—so bad that narcotics may have to be given. Usually, it travels dowh to the groin or the abdomen. Many times the person also has nausea and vomiting. Blood in the.urine is usually another sign of the passage of kidney stones. Even when the stones become stuck as they commonly do, there are some red blood cells in the urine. Infection is also frequent with kidney stones, and will give fever and chills. There are several things to do which the doctor will suggest to help prevent recurring stones, f The liberal use of water and other fluids is very important. This is ‘ especially true in hot climates or during warm weather. A careful effort should be made to take sufficient amounts of water and fluids daily.

automobiles sailing through the air at one time. The Red Cross and other agencies came to the rescue immediately and the appeal for blood donations was met ten fold. The stricken area was generally viewed as being out of the path of tornadoes, but the elements do not seem to respect border lines. Flag Day Service: — This year Americans will have two days to celebrate the 176th anniversary of the adoption of the American Flag. Flag Day is Sunday, June 14 and in many cities and hamlets throughout the country, public observance of the Flag’s birth will carry through on Monday. j Loyally, public observance, a- 1 side from the display of the Flag on Sunday, will be held Monday evening on the lawn at the Elks home .on Second street. \ Jointly, the Flag’s birthday anniversary will be celebrated by the Decatur Elks Lodge, the Ameri-, can Legion and VFW posts. Judge Homer Hinkle of the Jay circuit court, will orate on the Flag’s significance to all Ameri-’ cans and appropriate services, with patriotic rituals will be conducted by the local sponsors. Music will be furnished by the Decatur Catholic high school band. The public is cordially invited to the outdoor exercise, beginning at 7:30 p.m. 1 : M x History reveals that on June 14, 1777, the Continental Congress resolved “that the flag of the United States be 13 stripes alternated red and white, that the union be 13 stars, white in a blue filed representing a ne,w constellation". Legend has it that George Washington visited Betsy Ross in - Philadelphia and suggested tfie design, which she then modified changing \the points of the stars from six to five. However, many historians doubt‘the accuracy of this account. The legend more or less persists and histories rfeite that what was known as the Ross design, was not changed until 1795, when Vermont and Kentucky were admitted to the Union. Two stars were then added to the flag, which mow contains 48, and may grow to 50 with the admission of Hawaii and Alaska.

It has been shown that some kidney stones may possibly be dissolved or reduced in size if enough water and fluids are taken into the body. Avoid overeating on foods that give the body too much calcium and do not let the body become dehydrated. When there is danger of kidney stones, it is also bad to drink too much citrus juices. ; Persons who have had repeated attacks should watch their diet carefully, following their doctor’s advice strictly. More activity is also advised for such people if they follow a more or less sedentary life. Parathyroid Tumor Os course, all types of kidney\ infection should be cleared up. Sometimes a tumor of the parathyroid gland, lying near the thyroid in the neck, will cause an excessive amount of calcium to be given off into the urine, forming kidney stones. When a person has repeated attacks of stones that cannot be controlled, the possibility of a tumor of this type should be investigated. Recently, it has been shown that a drug known as hyaluronidase, derived from certain bacteria, acts as a preventative in certain cases. After the removal or passage of stones, It has been found that new stones did r.ot form if this drug was given with frequency. QUESTION AND ANSWER j L. S.: Is it true that club feet are more common in boy babies? Answer: Yes, boy babies have a greater tendency towards having club feet. , ,

CHAPTER THIRTY-THREE I GIBBONS was looking at his watch, a scowl on his broad, powerful face, when I arrived at the information booth in Union Station. “You’re late,” he said. "Only by two minutes. The Rambler isn’t due until four, anyway.” "Let’s get a couple of papers,” he said. ■ We strolled over to the newsstand, paying no attention to each other now, and bought the afternoon papers. Gibbons drifted over to the glassed partitions that faced the tracks, and 1 ‘followed him, glancing over the headlines. We stood that way, looking up at incoming trains and then back to our papers, as we talked. “Shenk has no record,” Gibbons said. “He’s never been caught, that’s all” - \ s “You sure he’s carrying dope?" “No, but 1 think so.” We were siltent a while. Then I said, “Everything tight on this end ?” V “Yeah. The station is crawling with cops. I saw a pickpocket drift in about ten minutes ago, take-one look around, and go tearing out like he was on fire.” I glanced around. 1 could pick a few of them out after a while. The big man in the blue suit, standing with a woman; the young fellow with golf clubs: the men sitting on benches with their hatbrims down and seemingly asleep—l could have been wrong but 1 tagged them as cops. Also, I saw Morrison, standing uneasily beside a piece of battered luggage, and occasionally glancing at his watch. Phillips, the Federal man, was on hand, too, wearing a sport jacket and a bow tie, and chatting with a pretty blond girL "Everything's set," Gibbons said. ’There are cops driving the first six cabs in line, and a few of our men will be at the ramp to make sure that Shenk gets one of those cabs. The cop who gets Shenk is briefed to give us a hand signal as he goes out If Shenk is on his way to Ellerton’s. If not we got a relay of cars to pick him up and follow anywhere he goes, even if he heads for Milwaukee.” “You got things set up at Ellerton’s apartment?” Gibbons nodded. “There’s a dictaphone planted, for one thing. And if Shenk heads out there we got it arranged to have a power failure in the building while he's on the way. Some electricians will go into Ellerton’s apartment to check the wiring in the kitchen—and they're our boys, too. They got fiksh cameras with them to take pictures of Ellerton and Shenk together, and they'll witness the transaction of dope—if there is any." “It sounds foolproof." “We tried tb get a camera set Up in Ellerton’s living room, but didn’t have the time," he said. I glanced at my watch. Five of four. “How about the rumors on the bad dope?” "That’s been, going on since you left. We got a dozen stoolies out with that story, and three of four doctors backing ’em up. It’s caused a rumble, believe me. Dopeys are afraid to buy, pushers are afraid to sell, and the word is that El-

lerton—or the) big boy, whoever he is—thinks |he’s being double* crossed by his Eastern supplier. Mr. Big is mad, we hear, real mad.” "Let’s hope we can add to his troubles,” 1 said. The station announcer cleared his throat with a metallic cough, and said, "Arriving on Track Two, the Pennsylvania’s Rambler from New York. The Rambler, arriving on Track Two. Passengers will depart through gate number four.” He repeated the message twice. There was a stir of movement in the huge station. Persons meeting arriving passengers drifted over toward gate four, and among them was the big man in the blue suit, ana the youngster with the golf clubs. In a moment or so the Rambler rolled into the train Shed, its headlight glaring through the smoky gloom. From where I was standing we could watch the passengers who would leave the train and make their way up to gate tour. There was a wait of several moments before the first of them appeared, and the thin straggling trickle thickened. Three and four abreast, with redcaps darting between them, the passengers from the Rambler hurried toward the waiting room of the station. "Damn it," I said. “What’s the matter?" Gibbons said. i • I pointed. "There he is, the one with black coat.” "You sound surprised.” “I am." Gibbons stared close at me. “What’s the gag. Canalli? You checked him through Philly. Why are you surprised that he’s here?” "Never mind. I’ll tell you later.” Shenk carried a spitcase in his right hand, and a brief case under his left arm, hugged close to his body. He wore a black Homburg, and his bold swarthy face was expressionless as he moved toward the gate. "Let’s don’t lose him,” I said. "I’ll go over and finger him as he comes through,’’ Gibbons said. “My men wll pick him up then." Gibbons strolled off toward the gate, still glancing at his paper. When Shenk appeared Gibbons got behind titan, nodded at him, and then drifted off, still apparently engrossed in his paper. Shenk moved out of the crowd and glanced around in all directions, nothing of anything showing in his face. Perhaps his instincts told him something was wrong; he put his suitcase down, frowning slightly, still staring about as it he expected to meet someone. After a moment or so he picked up the suitcase and walked to a bench and sat down. He was a few feet .away from two cops. They got up and strolled away after a bit, and Shenk stared after them, a worried line above his eyes. 1 was standing out of his line of sight, behind a pillar, but I could check him by moving my head an inch or so. He was looking carefully kt the people who went by him, and glancing over his shoulder every now and then. 1 saw Gibbons coming back across the station. Passing the information booth, he stopped to light his cigar. It must have been a signal, for the big man with the woman took her arm and headed for the

stairway leading to the street, and the young man with the golf clubs faded away after a rueful glance at his watch. Other men drifted onto the scene; one came from a phone booth, another from the restaurant. j Shenk stared after the big man jmtil he had disappeared Up the stairs. Then he stood, picked up his grip and headed for the cab rank. .Ji. .■ When he was out of sight | camo around the pillar and joined Gibbons. ? "He looks worried," I said. “Yeah. That’s why I had the shifts changed. Let’s tag along.” We stopped about fifty feet in back of the noisy crowd waiting for cabs. Shenk was forcing his way tb the front, holding up a thick arm in a signal. Two plainclothes cops eased him along, unobtrusively blocking people on either side of him; Shenk reached the cab starter with a minimum of effort. A woman got the first cab, two soldiers the second and then the third one stopped directly in front of Shenk, and his blockers were on either side of the door, preventing anyone from beating him to it. With an agile bound Shenk leaped into the cab, and we could see him lean forward to give the driver directions. Gibbons and I moved forward and watched the cab pick up speed as it shot up the ramp. The driver put out his arm as he turned, and then tet his hand fall casually against the outside of the door. Me picked up speed and disappeared. “He’s heading for Ellerton’s, * Gibbons said. 'J-p “I don’t believe It,” I said. Gibbons faced me squarely, his big face hard and tight. the second funny crack you’made. What’s so funny?” 'h “Nothing. It’s just that 1 cant believe our luck is Morrison and Phillips joined us then, and it was decided we’d go out to Ellerton’s in Gibbons’ car. We moved off, walking fast, but Gibbons was still watching me with an odd, frowning expression ion his face. The manager of Ellerton’s, buiMing had been impressed with the wisdom of co-operation. He obviously wasn’t too happy about any of this, but tn a showdown he preferred to be on the side of law and order.

He’s gone up to Mr. Ellerton’s apartment." I ’ “Has he been here before?” “No. I don’t believe so.” * “You ever see him before?” “No, Tm positive I haven’t.” “Okay, give us a passkey ito Ellerton’s apartment, and cut off his telephone to Incoming calls, Got that? Let him call out, if he wants, but don’t take any incoming calls.” The manager handed Gibbons a passkey, and nodded quickly. “Yes, I understand.” “Okay, let’s go up,” Gibbons said. h !
