,The Child's "Tummy Aches"

By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.fi. ’ RECURRENT “tummy aches” in childhood, are difficult for both parent and child for, sometimes, the cause cannot be found. There is a tendency to minimize a “tummy ache”4n a child, - and reluctantly shrug off such complaints as being due to emotional disturbance, over-eating or improper eating. Causes cannot be found In many cases, even after extensive studies with Krays and other devices. Persistent Complaints However, it has been shown that many children who have persistent complaints of “tummy aches” may be suffering from an ulcer of either the stomach or the first part of the intestine, known as the duodenum. The increasing number of ulcers in children being reported by different doctors Is an indication that this diagnosis was frequently overlooked in the past. A suspicion of ulcer is warranted in any child who passes blood in the stools or vomits blood. These are the most frequent symptoms seen in children. Diagnosis to Child g Ulcers are. however, very dtf- : ferent to diagnose in a child. Children do ndt have the clear symptoms that occur in adults, ' ; ;Bttch as a rhythmic type of pain, i

In its 20 years, just completed, it reports that it has saved 1,391,000 depositors in 422 banks entirely or partly from losses due to bank failure. ’ After the reopening of the closed banks at the start of the Roosevelt administration, the late Sen. Arthur H. Vandenberg reflected that even if the banks did business again, Some might fail, causing serious loss to depositors who were not to blame. He sponsored the law creating the FDIC, anti remarks in his autobiography that this was the legislative achievement of which he was most proud/ \ Give Your Share:— Volunteers started today to raise' the budget for the Decatur Community Fund, a civic enterprise that combines all drives for various state and national agencies and provides funds for the Boy and Girl Scouts, local youth * organizations' and recreation activities. year men and Women give of their time and effort to the drive.

relieved by food. In children, the pain may follow eating. Ulcers of the duodenum, or first part of the intestine, are more frequently found in young infants, usually between the ages of six weeks and five months than in older children. Ulcers of the stomach itself are more frequent in the child over ten years of age. Repeated Episodes When a child has repeated episodes of abdominal pain, vomiting or blood in the bowel movements, it is most Important to have X-rays made to determine the presence otan ulcer or other such intestinal disease. These Xrays enable the stomach and intestines to be seen, and an ulcer, if present, can be detected by the physician. In most instances, a child or infant with an ulcer will respond very adequately to simple medical management and diet QUESTION AND ANSWER J. C.: I now live in a temperate climate. The sun seems to help my psoriasis. Would moving to a warmer climate permanently eliminate it? Answer: Psoriasis is often greatly helped by sunlight Moving to a climate Where there is a great deal of sunshine might benefit your case. However, an ultraviolet lamp might be of just as great benefit J i

SYNOPSIS Phi) Stanley, popular young socialite bachelor, had fallen in love with Nancy Kelly, hia attorney’s keen-witted, red* haired secretary. He’d taken her about, introduced her to his friends, including Linda Van Vliet. a brunette beauty who’d long ago set her cap for Phil. CHAPTER SEVEN EVEN before Timothy Kelly could slip his feet into the slippers the door opened and Dave ,Armstrohg entered the room with the easy familiarly that told he was a frequent visitor there. His black hair, made blacker by the soaking he had given it twenty minutes before in the hope it would stay in place, was in a startling contrast with the red of his wind-whipped cheeks. The bulk of him filled the living room door. “Good evening, David.” Mrs. Kelly always called him David. •‘Evenin’, b’ye.” Timothy Kelly always had that particular greeting for Dave. •‘How’s the truckin' business?” Dave threw his hat toward a chair. ‘‘lt’s all right. Where’s Nancy?” Mrs. Kelly put down her sewing and pulled her glasses tow on her nose. "That one. Workin’ late again. Bringin* work home nights. There’s some big legal goings on down to her office and I do believe it has something to do with your very boss, old man Stanley and his gang.” \ Dave said yes, he knew. He said that the Stanley Construction company was in the'midst of a big lawsuit. The company had been accused of entering into an illegal combine for business with some other corporations. The case had been started in circuit court The company bringing suit was trying to force the Stanley Construction company to throw open its files byway of evidence. The court had ruled against this. |: Dave asked if the Kellys hadn’t been reading about it tn the newspapers. t Mother Kelly admitted that she had tried to read it but got so mixed up trying to remember which was the plaintiff and which the defendant that she gave up. Dave admitted that it was pretty complicated even for him bfat said he read it all. He said that after all, a fellow has got to keep ahead of what is happening to the company he works for. He said that in another year he hoped to finish his night course in engineering at < the University Extension. “Then 1 can tell the Stanley Construction company to go jump in : the lake.” w ; His eyes brightened in anticipation of that day. ; Mother Kelly regarded Dave over i Copyright. 1903, by

Covington, have filed a motion with the state appellate court that the date for oral argument originally set for October 20 be reset for October 26. 27 or 28. I ssues, Statement On Auto Mishap J. L. Walters, Decatur route three, asked that the following statement be made concerning the Thursday night automobile mishap at Monmouth when Mrs. Walter? was struck by a motorist. j Walters said Mrs. Walters had 1 not just alighted from the bus. but that she was almost across the highway when struck. He also said that the sheriff’s office investigated the accident and not the police departing nt.

her glasses. Her mother’s intuition told her that Dave Armstrong was looking to the day when he could win Nancy $s his wife. She had no idea how far Dave had pressed Nancy for an answer, if he had at all. Nancy with her ambitions. Sometimes Mother Kelly was at an utter loss to understand Nancy. Nancy was like no one in the whole relationship. Mother Kelly was a matchmaker at heart. She loved a wedding—it was always so sweet and sad—but she couldn’t see.how the Kellys could afford to have Nancy marry now. | The doorbell again. Before Timothy Kelly could get his stocking feet shoved into slippers, Moira and Sam Sykes were in the room. “Hello, Ma. Hello, Pa. ’Lo, Dave.” Moira was always breezy. “Dave, meet my husband, Sam Sykes.” t Dave had hardly acknowledged the introduction when Nancy arrived, her- arms filled with papers, and carrying an important looking brief case. Nancy confessed fatigue, but said she had to finish some work from the office. She said that her firm of lawyers was fighting the lawsuit against the Stanley Construction company. She knew Moira was bursting to talk about last night’s party. Moira, in a whisper, managed to ask if Dave knew about it, \ “Heavens, no!" \ Nancy thought that the emphasis of her reply should be hint enough to Moira. She spread her work ton the dining room table, and took the cover from the typewriter. The sight of a typewriter at home after she had been pounding one all day made her close her eyes in a wave of repulsion. I Dave, in the other room, was saying something about the inequalities of life. He said: “That loafer, Phil Stanley, gets a big chunk of the Stanley Construction company stock. For what? Not because he earned it,” That was Timothy Kelly’s cue to put his foot into it “Did ye know that Nancy was out to a show with that young Stanley fellow only last, night ?” » Mother Kelly's chair gave a terric squeak. ‘Timothy Kelly, hold your tongue!” Nancy couldn’t pretend she didn’t heari even from the distance of another room. Moira’s burning desire to tell the family, the whole world for thy matter, that she and Sam had been witness to Nancy’s party of the night before, couldn’t be controlled any longer. r,&oy L. Foley.

“Was that a party! Champagne and all. Come on in, Nance, and tell us how it feels to be in society.” Nancy let her hands fall from her typewriter into her lap. “Oh, Moira!” There was pleading, hurt, reprimand, in her voice. She knew Dave was waiting for an explanation from her. She took the plunge. \ “Oh, it was just something that I Was pulled into. Phil Stanley has been coming to the office about his father’s business and about his inheritance, and everything, and—and—” How could she make her story plausible in Dave’s eyes. She went on. “You know he inherited a lot of money, and he was so excited, and I was so excited when I heard there was that much money in the world for one person—well, he just said he wanted to treat everyone in the office, and—” She was floundering terribly, she knew IL t, ■ • Dave’s red cheeks were getting redder still. His face was a study of interested amusement and doubt. “Phil Stanley wanted to treat the whole office but only you Went-” Dave’s voice had a metallic note in it that Nancy had never heard before. _ It troubled her, then it made her angry. Why should she be ashamed of anything she did ? She was chagrined at herself for even indicating embarrassment. “It was all just a dare. We went to the Empire room after the theater and then we met Moira and Sam, and well, that’s all there is to it” Moira laughed shrilly. “Tell them about the snubbing you gave Sam and me. Tell ’em about the way Phil Stanley kept filling your glass with champagne. And tell who that slick looking siflen that sat next to Phil Stanley was. You know, the green-eyed one with the Wally Simpson hair. “That was a Miss Van Vliet." -Who’s she?” "I don’t know.” Thereupon Moira proceeded to ten all about the happenings in the Empire room. She hadn’t missed a detail. Nancy felt it would be useless to try to stop her. Sam Sykes walked into the dining room,, sat at Nancy’s typewriter, toyed With the keys. , i After they had an gone, Nancy returned to the typewriter. She had made carbon copies of the document so coveted by the lawyers fighting the Stanley Construction Company. She had wanted to make five more copies. She was too tired to pay much attention to bow many copies she had made. (To Be Continued) «... r taturM fit odicaiA UU
