Caution in Drinking Well Water

■ By HERMAN N. BUNDESSN, M. 9. ? PUBLIC health authorities upy dertake the task of providing water in a safe form for the good of the many; Therefore,’most city dwellers tan evade the; respondbility for safe drinkihg water simply because they live ip areas . o" great congestion. However, perisons who depend upon well water, year 1 long or oinly at 'vacation should take caution in drinking water ’ that comes fron|i shallop wells. In i many of these ".’ells, the amount of a mineral known as nitrate 4s rather high. ; j I Dangerous Content Recent inspections have shown i that a great number of wells in : .the United States contain a large amount of nitra :es. The ingestioh | of nitrates can cause a serious , disease whicph is known as methe- 1 \ moglobinemia. < < Water containing large j 7’ amounts of nitjiate'chapges the I hemoglobin of the blood to an* other form. The hemoglobin carries oxygen to all the tissues of ( the body, and tlte changed hemo* globin is unable to perform thia S y function adequately. Therefore i __ it causes a lack of oxygen in the; 1 blood. There is blueness of the s skin, and shortness Ofi breath, z i difficult or labored breaching. ' i

Army and police high officials, industrial and economic executives and above all top Communist leaders. They draw large pay, both regularly and in bonuses. They are the ones for whom Communism exists, and for whom the Russians are stinted. Communism is nothing but a racket, a bleeding of the poor. ! \ 0 O-i— A national survey shows that 49 percent of homes in this country are equipped with television. This averagennay be a little high for the midwest, or the local area, but (the number of homes with TV is iricreasing at a fast rate. With the scheduled operation of the new TV station in Fort Wayne, installation of sets will reach a high peak before the holidays. Television has come a long way. since World War 11, then considered a mere novelty. Now you can see some first and second-rate comedians, important national events • and programs that deal with the arts, outstanding plays and musical highlights. Like a sunrise it is here to stay and will continue to be one of the important entertainment mediums in the home. 0 0 World . \ Well known as the world is, it has never been completely mapped, that is, in detail, on a scale of one iqch to approximately every 16 miles. Only one-tenth of our globe’s area has been mapped to this degree. This includes Europe, South America, Africa, Central America, India and Pakistan. Os the L’nfted States only one fifth has been covered, at least according to the specifications of the Central Bureau of the OneBillionth Map, an English institution which has lately. transferred its data to the United Nations. Aniap showing as much minute detail as this map does has more than a theoretical advantage. The proponents of the world map sjay that one country spent nearly a million dollars to complete a. huge dam in which no water ever collected The soil was so spongy that the water-from the diverted streams simply sank into tfee ground. A map such as the one proposed would; have given this r information. The map project began in 19<>9. Warp have delayed it, but superior map-making methods have developed. The United Nations has hopes for its completion fairly soon. - ' ■ 1 : ■ ■- I —

Tlte nitrates in the water alsc tend to lower the amount of Vitamin C in the blood. One of the first symptoms of the disease may be bleeding of the gums due to the lack of this vitamin. Blood Test Made The disease can sometimes be diagnosed by making a blood test to determine the amount of vitamin C present in the blood. If the vitamin C content is low, the presence of the disease can be determined before the blue color appears on the person’s skin. Methemoglobinemia is most serious in young Infants. It can usually be cleared up by injection of certain drugs but the disease has proved fatal to some Infants. As a safety measure, it would be well for persons who drink well water for any length of time to have the water supply tested for the quantity of the chemical nitrate. QUESTION AND ANSWER S. V.: What causes the majority of food poisoning cases? , Answer: Most cases of food poisoning are caused by improper refrigeration of food. During the Warm weather, perishable food should be put in the refrigerator as soon as possible and kept there until used.

CHAPTER FOURTEEN THE FIGURE of Dave faded in Nancy’s imagination and \ Ph i 1 Stanley, his smart, imported brogues changed into the broad toed shoes of the man in the picture, sat at the table. She closed her eyes. She wasn’t in the gallery. She was in the lodge at Oconomowoc lake. She was being held fast in Phil’s arms. His lips were on her forehead, her eyes, her throat, crushed against her own lips. She was beating her hands against his chest. He was conquering her, she was resisting less'and less. She wasn’t resisting v any more. She was just being held powerless in the arms of Phil Stanley— V The clatter of heels on the floor of an adjoining gallery shattered Nancy’s dream. She heard voices. Where had she heard those voices before ? She knew. How well she knew. They were the voices of Sylvia Staunton and Harriet Clayton. Nancy didn’t want them to see her, she couldn’t bear to be subjected to their snobbery, and yet she remembered that before the party was over at the Empire room they had warmed up a little. Perhaps it was the champagne that did it. Perhaps champagne had a way of revealing that Judy O’Grady and the Colonel’s lady really were sisters under the skin. Nevertheless, Nancy felt that Sylvia and Harriet regarded her as a common little pickup that the irrepressible Phil Stanley had been playing around with. Nancy was caught She couldn’t leave the room without passing through the gallery in which she heard the Voices. She heard her name mentioned. The girls’ voices carried more than they realized. Just what Nancy had expected. They were discussing Phil Stanley. Sylvia was saying that Phil certainly had a faculty of breaking the conventions and getting away with it Harriet answered that "that poor little Kelly person" must have gotten a tremendous thrill being snowbound for thirtysix hours in a lodge with Phil. She wondered how Phil had behaved himself. They both laughed. They changed the subject then, as though any misbehavior on the part of Phil Stanley was a casual amusement and anyone by the name of Nancy Kelly was too impossible to discuss further.' They talked of a coming Country club party and sauntered out, unknowing that "that poor little Kelly person" was standing just around the doorway with a heart bursting with pride both challenged and hurt. Nancy hurried back to the office. forgetting that she had had no lunch. Her eyes were sp blue with anger now that they were almost black. As black as Phil Stanley’s. “I’ll show them—the—the snobs All that afternoon ed the keys of her typewriter with

a fierce determination. In every key was mirrored the faces of Sylvia Staunton and Harriet Clayton. • • • That evening in a little Italian restaurant on Third street, Dave Armstrong asked Nancy to ma7ry him. When they were alone in the restaurant Dave, without indicating what was on his mind, reached across the table and covered Nancy’s small white hands with his strong brown ones. < /‘Nancy, I’ve tried to tell you so many times. You know how I love you. You must know. Will \ you marry me, Nancy?” Nancy made a little, involuntary motion to free her hands'. Dave grasped them tighter. His very large, muscular hands were not made to hold a teacup with much grace, but they could be graceful, even when covered with grease when he was adjusting some delicate piece of machinery. Nancy had worked hard all day and during half of it she had burned with anger over the conversation of Sylvia and Harriet m the art gallery. All afternoon she had consoled herself with the thought that some day, some place, she would “show them," but when five o’clock came the flame of her resentment began to cool. She would show them—but how ? How could Nancy Kelly, a steno-i grapher in a law office, show' Sylvia Staunton and Harriet Clayton anything? How, how, how— Now she was in the plain little restaurant, alone with Dave, his hands covering hers, his eyes searching her eyes, waiting for her answer. For an instant she was tempted to say yes. Dave was going to get on, she knew it. He had it in him. She could marry and keep her job too, so many girls did that nowdays. She could still help at home. It would be an escape from—from what ? Nancy’s tired brain right then didn’t know from what She only knew that her whole being for months had been in revolt at office work when she wanted to be on her own, expressing her talents, whatever they might be. She chafed at the thought of going through life longing to do something, but being fearful to try. When lifer mother was a girl she had a lovely singing voice. She had married—that was the end of it Dave’s hands were pressing hers hard now. . / I “I’m waiting, Nancy, sweetheart” That noon Nancy had been lost in contemplation of the painting at the art gallery and had felt that when she loved she would be devastated by love, her lips would burn with desire for the lips of the man she would marry. "Dave, you’re a dear. I like you so very much." “Then you will marry me?" "Dave, I don't know. I can’t say yes. I won’t say no. There’s so I

Decatur Radio Club Denied Use Os Room The Decatur radio club, consisting of Hanis, was to|d last, week that they could 'not use the empty rooms in the upper story of the firehouse for the operation of equipment, only for meetings. Mayor John Doan said Tuesday it couldn't be done, but hinted that he had received complaints. It is known that owners if TV sets in the vicinity of the firehouse have registered complaints that a generator would cause interference with their reception. ' V" Young “Ham" CONCORD, N. H..

Fear, landlords, typewriters. Humphrey Charleses, snobbery.” Dave’s face whs honestly piizzled. "I’m afraid I don’t know what you are talking about.” "And I'm afraid I can’t make you understand, Dave. 1 don't iknow exactly what I mean myself." That night Dave declined Nancy’s invitation to stop in at the Kelly home. He unlocked the door for Nancy and turned to go. Nancy Pung her arms about his neck and kissed him full on the lips. | "You’re not angry with me, are ypu, Dave ?” • I > “No, Nancy.

Humphrey Charles, as th»? lawsuit involving the Stanley Construction company progressed, grew more and more irascible. ; "Nancy turned to the want ads for another job. She had to earn more money. She had no luck. | Phil Stanley had been in and out of the office half a dozen times, and’ each time Nancy had said no to his invitations. He even wanted her to. go 1° a prize fight. Prize fights seemed to be the latest pasttime for the society girls. Nancy’s refusals didn’t discourage Phil. He always came back for more. Often she was on the verge of weakening. She had known the feel of Phil Stanley’s lips on her own. She had struggled against his kisses and had called him a beast. She had said she despised him . . . Humphrey Charles’ words Kept echoing in her ears ... Mr. Stanley is a gentleman ... a station of society you could hardly expect to fit into. S Now Phil was at her desk again. He was insisting that she go someplace with him that night. He named half a dozen places, things to do. Nancy said no* to all of them. * "Tm sorry, you see you are a gentleman. You travel in a stratum of society 1 could hardly expect to fit into.” "Nonsense, what do you mean ?’\ H was just quoting somebody. Good night, I must go.” "I’m going with you.” He followed her to the street, took her arm. She couldn’t make a scene at five o'clock in front u the. Mariner Tower.
