Over-Anxious Parents Can Lo A Child More Harm Than Good

By GERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M4L ADEQUATE care and overtreatment are often cohfused by over-anxious parents in their concern that their children receive the very best beginning in life. Nearly every doctor has seen a ease of a mother who, believing If a little bit of vitamins can do a little good, then a great dea. of vitamins do a great deal of good, gives her child, against the doctor’s advice, over-dosages of vitamins over a long period of time. This can -prove serious and cause the child great discomfort and perhaps actual illness. „ Teeth an Example It is also true that in a number of childhood diseases, the usual processes of growth and development tend to relieve the disturbance. For example, sometimes the first teeth may be the only teeth a child will have. Therefore, even though they seem loose, it is sometimes better to let the teeth come in by themselves if they are going to, rather than have the first teeth extracted. Nearly every parent worries about children who are tongue- - tied. It is a known medical fact that tongue-tie has little effect, if any, in feeding and on the speech of the child. No Delay in Speaking A child having tongue-tie never has a delay in speaking. The tongue should be dipped only in

py over the recognition given her leadership. She is the daughter of the late Joseph Suelzer, former Fourth District chairman, and for many years an able and sincere party leader in the state. o o \ ■ i-1 Death snatched Maurice Tobin at an age when the average expectancy would have given him many years of life and useful servlcb. The former governor of Massachusetts, who served so ably as Secretary of Labor in President Truman’s cabinet was only 52. A meteroric rise in business and ‘politics saw the Irish immigrant's .son becomei a member of the state legislature, MayR. 1 I or of Boston and governor of his state when he was only 43. A brilliant orator, a successful business executive, Mr. Tobin’s career typified the best in American citizenship. His death is mourned by all Americans. < -—-o- —o Efforts Os A Few:— James Mifcchener, who won critical and popular acclaim with his “Tales ofi.theSouth Pacific,” has written a new novel which might help Americans to understand their Soldiers fighting in Korea. It is called “The Bridges at Toki-Ri.” it is a moving account of a jet; pilot based aboard a carrier in Korean waters. It is principally concerned with Harry Brubaker, a veteran of World War II; recalled to active service. Brubaker had to leave his wife and children and he was not happy about that. Neither was he happy at the thought that most of the people at home had forgotten the war in Korea. E|ut he died doing his job. There are several lines from Mischener’s book which have been quoted by most of the reviewers. The words are the words of the tasktorce commander, . . iUM’ speaking to Biubaker: “All through history free men have had to fight the wrong war in the wrong place ... Nobody knows why he getjs stuck with the dirty job. But any society is held together by the efforts . . . yes, and the sacrifices of only a few."

very severe cases of tongue-tie, if the doctoi so advises. Many times a child who is sick with a virus Infection is given antibiotic drugs by the physician at the insistence of the mother. , The infection then clears up and the antibiotic drugs are thanked for doing the job. However, in most Instances, l< the infection would just take its natural course arri clear up anyway. May Prevent Later Use The mother, by being overanxious, may be depriving the child of the use of the antibiotic drugs when he needs them in an infection that is sensitive to them, because repeated use may cause a sensitivity to the drugs ! in . the child, and thus prevent their use when they might be most beneficial. A rupture or hernia of the navel in an infant Is often corrected by surgery at an early age be- ! cause of over-anxious parents. However, most of these navel ruptures will clear up by simple strapping. Needless surgery can then be avoided by a little patience with the working of nature in cooperation with medical treatment. QUESTION AND ANS WEE G. C,l Will excessive sweating due to heat that enlarges the pores cause skin damage of a permanent nature? Answer: There is no proof that permanent skin damage will result from such a cause.

Half-Blind Kansan Offers To Buy Eye * Farm Wife Offers Eye For SIO,OOO KNOX CITY, Tex. (UP) — A farm wife who offered to sell one ol her eyes for SIO,OOO found a buyer today, a man willing to gamble cash for a chance for normal sight. * i The 28-year-old woman ran a classified advertisement in the Wichita Falls, Tex:, Record-News last Friday, offering to sell an eye to provide "security" for her family. Frank Benbow, a retired Wichita. Kan., contractor, vacationing in Cascade, Colo., said he had decided to accept the offer after talking with his doctor. Benbow’s offer was the first. "I lost my left eye in 1929.’ Benbow said. ’I dont know whether an operation to replace my eye would work, but I think it wbuld be worth a try." , He said his right eye was railing and he could no longer read. He lost his left eye when he was breaking a. wire to free a mule. The wire snapped and pierced his eye. The woman, who preferred that her identity not be disclosed, said her family hdd been struggling for funds all her married life. She said she ho_ped to get SIO,OOO to pay off abotjt sl.-500 in debts and move the family to Alaska for a fresh start. - She and her welder husband have three children, with a fourth on the way. They live on a farm. She said her husband, whom she described as a “wonderful, considerate man," gave her permission to run the- ad because he thought her chances of receiving an offer “very slim.” Yugoslavia Makes Request For Wheat WASHINGTON. ~UP — Yugoslavia has asked the United States to supply 430,00 ff tons of wheat to help avert a food shortage.

CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE INARTICULATE with rage, Carlotta sprang at Randolph, her hands like talons. Quick as she 'was, he was quicker. He struck her across the face with his open hand so savagely that she fell back onto the daybed. An unguarded smile of pure pleasure crossed the doctor’s face, as if this were something he had wanted to do for a long time. “You’ve had your own way too long,'* he said, standing over her. “Don’t you ever threaten me again." The Captain had watched this passage as impersonally as if it had been a cockfight None of us was disposed to interfere between antagonists so obviously well matched. , ‘ “You dope peddler!" Carlotta Screamed. ! “Your word against mine, Carlotta. And who is going to believe you?” 1 But the doctor had overdone it. Perhaps driven by his long-sup- ‘ pressed wish to get even with Car- * lotta, perhaps oversure of his ability to manipulate other people, perhaps inwardly uncertain and so Unsteady, he 1 had miscalculated, hnd he had gone too far. The X-factor took over in the person of little Gay. She began to cry. “I didn’t say it, Randy.. Carlotta said it. I never told anybody. I promised you, and I never told. You will let me have a shot now, won’t you ? It’s been so 10ng...” Randolph whirled on her. “What are you talking about? I’ve told you again and again that I cannot do anything of the kind. Be quiet now.” He had never been more commanding, but it did no good. Gay’s I thirsty nerves tortured her past caring for anything except to get relief. 1 “But you can! You know you can! You had fifteen thousand I dollars’ worth on board. Opdyke | told me so! He told me you were smuggling. He knew I wouldn’t I tell. Oh, please, Randy. Please, 3 lease. You never made me wait o long before." , For a minute I thought Randolph was going to hit Gay too,' and then I would have interfered. But he thought better of it With an almost superhuman effort at ' self-control he collected himself and tried to pull these smoking cheatnuU out of the fire.

“Poor Gay,” he said soothingly. “Poor dear. If I had any morphine I would give it to you, really I would. I would not let you suffer.” He turned to the rest of us. “She is imagining things.” Acute disbelief was registered on every face in the room, and the doctor was smart enough to see it. “To tell you the truth,” he said, “I do usually carry a small store of sedatives and anodynes, dealing as I do with highly nervous patients. But the events of the last few days have quite exhausted my supply.” Nobody was buying this one, but again Gay made it unnecessary for us to say so. She had gone entirely out of controL Only one thing obsessed her.

“I know what you are trying to do, Randy,” she wailed, “and I will. I’ll do it now. Nothing matters anyway, now that Larry’s gone. Yes, I shot Opdyke. I don’t care if I did. He was awful. When Larry and I were first lovers, it was in his house on Majorca, and he thought it was fine, because he hated Carlotta. Then he was going to help Larry get a divorce, but later, he—he wanted me to leave Larry for him, and when I wouldn't be said he would ruin us both. He would tell Larry I took dope—l guess Randy must have told him—and he would tell Carlotta ... and ... and stop Larry’s money. That night before dinner, he told me to meet him on deck at eleven-thirty and give him my final answer. I was afraid to tell Larry, but I got his gun and—l didn’t plan to do anything with it, really—but I thought maybe I could scare him. I begged him and begged him to let me alone. But he \ laughed. He laughed, and I ran back to the passageway, and turned around, and I guess the gun went off... And I was so scared I threw it at him, and ducked into the ladies’ room, and didn’t come out until I heard people around. But I didn’t see him fall overboard. I didn’t see him fall down at all. I didn’t know he was dead until I came out again ... Oh, it was awful! I couldn’t tell anybody, and I went on and on, and then I did tell Larry a little bit about it, and I guess he thought he could save me, or else he just didn’t want to live... And I don’t either, now.” „ She was sobbing wildly now, and instinctively I took her in my arms. Perhaps she wa« the mur-

'Al'.Yes, and this should be done as soxrn as possible after she is informed of the engagement. Failure to do so within a Very few days is a mark of rudeness! Q.

deress, but I could not think pf her as evil—only lost, tormented, infinitely pitiful. Lost in a maze of false values and easy answers, driven from catastrophe to catastrophe. She \raised her ravaged face from my shoulder. “That’s everything I know. Now you can all go home. Nqw, Randy, can I have a shot?” “I tell you,” Randolph said, and this time he carried conviction, “I haven’t any.” The Captain, who seemed im£ pervious to human suffering, got up out of his chair with something suspiciously like a sigh of relief. “Well, I guess that does it. Hez,, go up and tell the helmsman to make for port. I’ll watch the prisoner myself till we get there. No, need for the rest of you to stay.” He pulled out Robert’s little gun from his hip pocket and laid it on the table beside the chair. “Oh no, Captain Jonas,” Robert said quietly. “There is much too much left to explain.” “What do you mean?” “Are we to believe that Miss Walton got hold of enough morphine to poison Todd and Macbeth, and didn’t' save a little for her own needs? It isn’t logical.” I felt like cheering for him. Gay was so beaten down, so much in need of help. “I suggest," said Robert, suavely; “that that morphine came out of the doctor’s supply. I also suggest that you read us the letter in the safe.” With a queer flap of his hand which might have meant exasperation or resignation, the Captain turned without a word, and twiddled with the dials, on the safe behind a panel in the corner. Randolph had gone an ashy ‘gray, but he made one more try for himself. “Just a minute. It is true that I had a large supply of morphine on board. It was not for illegal purposes, but to economize by buying at a cheaper rate. However, 1 that is neither here nor there.' The fact is, and I realize I should have' mentioned it before, the drug is no longer in my possession. I was robbed of it two days ago. I suppose some of the crew...” Brown snorted. Jonas did not look abound. I was aware of a sort of quickening of attention in Robert, like a hunting dog pointing a covey of quail. The dictor looked around the silent room, and mopped his brow again.
