Proper Rest Can Be A Medicine

By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.D. IN OUR modern world, with, its time- and labor-saving inventions and formulas, the average person fails to remember these devices were sought after to give man a time to rest. This rest was not only for purposes of enjoyment, but for the sake of our mind and body. With all the talk of antibiotics and the other wonder drugs, we tend to forget one of the most important ways to cure any Illness or injury. This is the socalled “medicine of rest and of relaxation." Faster Healing A cut wfllheal more quickly and more cleanly if the patient is allowed to rest for a few days. A splinted cut finger will heal faster than one that is not splinted. This not only applies to cuts, but also to bruises. > In diseases like pneumonia. It Is important that the patient have rest in bed, even when penicillin is given. It Is believed that frequent ecxamlnation of the pneumonia patient, with frequent moving around for different tests, may be as injurious as it is belpfifi. Therefore, the patient should be left as quiet as possible. To Avoid Complications The average person having fiu does not pest too well. However, rest is verydmportant in one having influenza, so that many of the complications, such as pneumonia. may be avoided, i

fore inany college groups on highway safety programs. The national winner in the better-highway contest is famed Robert of New York City, the state parks, boulevards and ocean beaches in that state. 0 0 The United States will sign the Korean truce pact, regardless of the attitude of Syngman Rhee, president of South Korea. Gen. J. Lawton Collins and Assistant Secretary of State Robertson have gone to Korea to confer with Gen. Mark Clark and President i Rhee, on final ierms for the truce. According to Washington authorities the “cease-fire” order may become effective the last of week. Regardless of Rhee’s violation of agreements in the release of more than 25,000 antiCommunist prisoners, it appears that the Reds want sign the truce pact and bring an end to the fighting. Rhee will have to work out his own salvation, if UN troops are withdrawn from the battle area, as a result of his defiance of military agreements. z —-—0 0 y Future Os Libraries:— The public library system has had a profound effect on American living. It has brought education within the reach of all who will seek it on the book shelves, it haslprovided entertainment, relaxation and Cultural enlightenment. But a recent survey made by the NeW York State Library gives cause for' some alarm about the future of our library system. The reports show that only ihree states meet the minimum requirements for library service appropriations set. by the American Library Association. Twentyfour million Americans are without any library service at all and 53,000,00$ more do not have easy access to such service. Some states spend as little as 14 cents per person per year on library senice. r ~ America has always prided itself on its regard for education. The role that the library plays as a supplement to the school and as a source of learning for those •who cannot continue with formal v r education programs should not be overlooked, > Every community, every state should be conscious of the need to improve library facilities. It may mean that more money will have to be appropriated to maintain libraries.

- - There is no disease in which greater help can be obtained by rest than in heart disease. In certain cases, rest is even superior to digitalis in mild heart disease. People with slight heart failure should have definite periods of rest set up for them during the day and, of course, insure themselves a full night’s sleep; Mind Needs Rest Mental Illnesses also require rest. Most of the people suffering from psychoneurosis have actually just overworked themselves mentally. A person with a severe psychoneurosis due to overwork or business worries must be taught to rest his mind by diversion in other activities, such as a hobby or reading. In severe osteoarthritis, rest is often helpful. Letting a person with severe arthritis use the affected joint without rest may be the equivalent of letting a person use a broken arm. A few weeks' rest of the joint that has been affected by arthritis may be most helpful in relieving symptoms. Thus, in this day, of modern wonder drugs, it is important tc remember that a rest may also be very helpful in effecting a cure. QUESTION AND ANSWER R. H.: Is penicillin of any help in treating arthritis? Answer: Penicillin is not of help in most cases of arthritis. However, in those few cases of arthritis due to venereal Infection, it

Sardonic old Jonas, the ships captain, assembles his passengers ;n the salon, advising them that Opdyke had a premonition of meeting with foul play on the voyage. Ind had consequently left his will in Jonas keeping. The document decrees that the "Spiritus” continue along tier course toward South America for seven days, by the end of which period Mr. Opdyke had believed his killer would be revealed. CHAPTER SEVEN • DARIUS UPDYKE had been in love with power, with the exhilaration of moving others according to his will, sometimes by orders, and sometimes, 1 suspected, by more subtle and more dreadful means. He had surrounded himself with all the luxury he could drcam of, cherished his flesh beyond the normal—and failed to protect it against the ultimate indignity. In spite of all he could do, Lis influence had ended, his power had vanished —but there 1 brought myself up short. We were all still in his power.

Mr. Ppdyke had hinted at dark secrets in the lives of each and all of thesn, and I shrank from discovering what they were. Lisa Tremaine I admired. That stiff manner of hers was just her way of protecting herself against the many people who tried to nake use ot het. Once you got past it, she was informal, almost jolly. She had, certainly been kindness itself to the unknown American who had married her godson. Believing evil of Gay Walton was like persecuting a child. She had a defenseless quality, and all her emotions chased each other so openly across her sensitive face that it was impossible to suspect her of concealment. Carlotta was more difficult to understand, but she was very beautiful, and pleasant enough. Larry seemed like anybody’s kid brother, as friendly as a wet Newfoundland pup, Randolph had a brilliant and amusinar mind which

Former President . Lunches With Staff . Meets With Former White House Staff WASIIIhIGTON. (UP) —Former President Truman found it difficult today to maintain a completely “no politics” rule on his visit to this politically conscious Capital. ! ' . J He stpck to his ’devision not to make political comments on current events- or on the recordso far of the Eisenhower administration. But he spent most of his time so far with former political associates. He was a guest Monday night ht a party his former White House counsel, Clark tpllffotd. held in honor of an old political friend —Chief Justice Fred M. Vinson. He had a date for lunch today with his former White House staff and tonight’s schedule calls fpr dinner with the staff and members of his old cabinet. Wednesday he will lunch with senate Democrats and Thursday address a breakfast meeting of freshmen Democrats in the house. Rep. Robert L. Condon. D-Calif. head of the ; freshmen, said he

made him great fun to talk to, and Brown, though rather wooden ahd pompous, betrayed an anxiety to please which made him appealing. 1 could just imagine Robert shaking his nead at me, but I found it easier to think that the shot had been fired by some unknown enemy tn the crew. The steward and stewardess were still with us. Mrs. Macbeth, apparently under orders, sat by the door like a wardress in a women’s prison, ner feet apart, her bands resting on her knees. Her manner said all too clearly-that she considered herself on guiird. If anyone had an impulse to conversation, her presence was enough t;o check it. Todd, her brother, had retired behind the big sofa m the far end of the room, and seemed to be trying to make himself invisible—a meaching, unattractive mannerism ot his which we camp to know better. ' Robert was sitting on a small sofa under the window, with his eyes fixed on of the ceiling which he appeared to find fascinating. 1 sat down by him, and unobtrusively stuck* my hand into his pocket. "I’ve got something to tell you later on,’’ 1 said tout of the corner of my mouth. "Keep your hose out of it this time,’’ he answered. Then.l think he felt 1 was hurt, because he added, "1 want you to do something for me. Write down every day you see, and what people say. It may be very important.’’ I couldn’t see Why he should want me to do that, but 1 carried out his wishes, and it is from those notes that I am able to put this narrative together with some degree of accuracy. Robert pulled his eyes down from the corner pt the ceiling. “I’d like to ask one question,” he said to the room m general. “Did anyone except the captain see Opdyke fall over the rail?” Todd spoke up unexpectedly from his rampart behind the sofa. “I saw him. It was horrible. I had been waiting for him in his cabin as- usual, and I am free tb say 1 may have dbzed a bit I heard a shot and looked out of the porthole, and so 1 saw him fail. It was exactly as 1 had told Meggie it Would be the night before, if I may say so. I had a dream about it Didn’t 1, Meg?”

"You talk too much, Tamas,” Mrs. Macbeth said impassively, and her brother collected.

hpped Mr. Truman would* comment “on the existing legislative and political scene.” ( ! Some of the time with former political associates was dbvoted to polishing up a speech on national defense Mr. Truman is scheduled to make in Philadelphia Friday night at a meeting of the reserve officers association. Mr. Truman said with a smile he! was aware of the faq't that anything he says on the subject will be measured against . Eisenhower administration proposals to cut the defense budget he recommended shortly before the end of his term last January. b ; In refusing to make political comments at this titae. the President said he didn’t fctive “horseback opinions." But, he added, he expects to be Ypretty well briefed” before he heAyes .town Friday and he certaiply intends to speak his mind on pojlpcal affairs “when the time cjcmiqs.” / — p— 1 ,. I Superstition about, the nunijter “13” seems to be on the way riut. according to Westinghouse elevator engineers, who report? t|ua more than 90 percent of modern skyscrapers today have 13 floors. Before World War 11. however, about 50 percent of the country’s contractors ordered elevatojp cphtrol panels minus the number. Buildings omitting the 13 floor are now usually hotels. 7 (

The captain came back just then and announced with no fbrmallty and scant courtesy that the search would begin. This reasonable suggestion had the surprising effect’of making Gay Walton explode like a time bomb. The nervousness shs I had been battling was too much for her. ij “No! No! T can’t be searched! : 1 won’t be searched! 1 can't have j strangers poke among my things, Lany, you must stop them! Randy] do something! Robert...” ’ Her hands outstretched, > she groped her way toward him. Bobbing noisily. It was the scene from Babes in the Wood* where the little girl has found that only the robins are going to cover her,* Robert gave me the wild look: which meant "get me out of this,” but Dr. Randolph saved him. '.He folded both her hands in both of his and murmured to her sooth-: ingly until she quieted down. 1 . If “There has to be a search] you know. But it is not likely they <>ll find much—with all the sea for a hiding place.” Carlotta watched Gay disintegrate with a contempt in which there was a tinge of satisfaction, but the rest of us looked distressed. We were distressed for ' her, and for ourselves, because it was increasingly clear that we Were at the mercy of the sardonic Captain. The dead man reached for us out of the sea, and Jonas was his unpredictable instrument. Frederick Brown made a last effort to impose his idea off-order. "You are exceeding your authority,’’he told the Captain. j, “If there’s a law says a cap- ’. tain hasn’t got the say on his ; ship, 1 ain’t seen it.” ' 1 “We can vote to remove you from your position and put the 1 second officer in charge. With M®-1 Opdyke’s putative heir among US in the person of Mr. I think we could be upheld in so doing.” 7 ■ . Jonas answered him with a df-awL “You can try it, Mister, but Fye a notion it won’t work.” v L “Why wot?” Larry asked belligerently. ; , “Because the second officer is • my son, that’s why.” He waited a minute to savor the silenqc which followed, then turned ®n his heel and gave a curt ordfer oyer his shoulder. “Come on, now. Let’s get cracking.” i To Be ConttnuedJ |

Awaiting New Ike Move On Tax Deadlock Congress Leaders v Awdit Ike's Move Oh Tax Extension sional leaders hopefully await ft new-move by President Eisenhower to .break the tax deadlock in the house of representatives. IMY. Eisenhower tried last week to persuade chairman Daniel A. Reed of the house wt.ys and means committee to permit a vote pn the administration's proposal to extend the excess profits tax for six months from June 30. The United Press was informed that the best offer the New York Republican made to Mr. Eisenhower was a compromise. Reed said he would agree to extend the excess profits tax to Oct. 1 provided the President would agree to a 10 per cent reduction of individual in- ' come taxes from that date onward. (Mr. Eisenhower, turned Reed’s proposal over to the treasury de- 1 partment, where secretary George I .M. Humphrey turned thumbs dow n. Humphrey pointed o.if that instead of bringing more tax money into the federal till, Reed’s compromise would actually resuit in a net loss Os about 3350,000,000 in 1053 revenue. Monday house Republican leader Charles A. Halleck came up with what may have been the administration’s “counter - compromise” offer. He proposed that small corporations, with net earnings of less than >loo,ooo'a year be exempted from the excess profits tax during the six months extension period the administration wants. Halleck said this would meet or e of the biggest objections to the excess profits levy that it stifles the growth oi small business would pare only some >60,000.0'10 from the >800,000.000 in extra revenue expected from a six-months extension of the tax. Reed showed no immediate enthusiasm for Halleck’s compromise. ' ' ( Under either proposal, corporations and individuals would obtain 'ncome tax reductions on the same date. •A six months extension wou’d keep the excess profits tax in force to Jan. 1. on which date Individual income taxes are scheduled by existing law to b e reduced about 10 per cent. As the tax laws stand now, th? excess profits tax will expire one week from today, and individual income taxpayers will haye to wait six months for relief. Th e political disadvantage of tax reductions for corporations six months before tax reduction for iodividuals are sufficiently impressive. to have Republican leaders worried. Reed’s first proposal wa> to make the individual reductions effective June 30, coincident wit.t the expiration of the excess profits tax. , f ■Mr. was opposed to that. He did not want to lose tb • revenue involved. Tnr Hcuse leadership, therefore, refused to permit Reed to bring his itidividua. income tax cut bill to the floor for a vote. The situation now is reversed. Reed is refusing to bring the administration’s excess profits extension bill to the floor f<jr a vote. He refuses, even, to permit his coniniitt.ee to vote on ii. Queen Elizabeth Il’s ancestry has been traced back to Wodefr. a 4th century Germanic tribal king, later deified as Odin, for whom Wednesday is named.
