Prolonged Bed Rest Can Harm Patients With Heart Ailment

By HUMAN N. UMDESEN, NA THE mental and physical effects of prolonged bed rest can sometimes do more harm to a patient than the actual heart attack that put him to bed. At one time, nearly every person suffering from a heart attack was sentenced, and at times rightly ao, to many months of rest in bed. ..■ - — In many heart attacks, this is absolutely necessary and, of course, the advice of a physician should be followed. However, it has been found that some patients will have greater benefit if they spend a large portion of the day sitting in an armchair. Bomation of Blood Clots One of the most serious complications of prolonged bed rest is the fact that blood dots may form in the blood vessels of the legs or of the abdomen. They can become distodged and travel up to the heart, brain and other vital organs, causing sudden death or severe complications. This peril can be avoided if the patient uses his muscle*, speeding up the blood flow by sitting up for part of the rest, too long prolonged, A *l*o brings about many minor disadvantages- ... ;“>• ~ Lesser GwspUeatfta* One of these la the occurrence At mnstinatlon which, in turn, often leads tp the laxative habit bed -rest

Great stacks of newly printed currency were stored in the government’s bureau of printing and engraving and someone got the brazen idea that he could walk but Os the office with a few bundles hf cash. That he did and the public did not learn of the theft until ten days later. Moat of the money was found in a farm field near Washington and the arrest of the thief will clear the big holiday mystery,of“who got the money.’’ Government employes should be more carbful with that folding stuff which sticks to some fingers. —-° ‘ 0 ■ - State Os The Union:— Thursday noon President Eisenhower wiH address congress and give what is commonly known as the nation’s chief executive message on "the state of the Union." It will be a review of what the administration claims as accomplishments of the past year, along with its hopes for the future. The American people are deeply interested in what their President has to say and what his plans are for the next year, including his program to foe presented to congress. The historic incident will be broadcast over radio and televised throughout the nation. On the sidelines the people are not so much interested in the political jockeying that goes on behind the scenes in Washington. W they are in employment, better living conditions, relief from and “• <• a better and stronger nation. r' The people look to the President, regardless of politics, for this leadership and every American will listen and watch with avid interest every word and gesture uttered or made by him. The union of the 43 states is the greatest form of government in the world. 'Long may ft live and prosper.

can cause bed sores and severe muscular weakness. Mentally, the patient often worries a lot and develops sever* anxiety about his physical well-being. When a person has heart failure and remains in a lying position, he is not in the most beneficial position. The heart works harder, it is believed, when a person is lying down than when he is standing quietly. Heart Strain A prone position, therefore, can put a greater load on the heart. This is the reason why patients suffering from heart failure may complain of severe attacks of shortness of breath while in bed. Jt most patients are allowed to sit up, these dangers will be lessened to some extent. The mental outlook will also be improved. Os course, this program must be modified, by the attending physician, according to the severity of the heart condition.

Assert Employment Picture Favorable x ■ ■ '■ . No Cause Os Alarm From Unemployment WASHINGTON UP — Commerce department officials emphasized today that there is no eause for alarm in the tact that unemployment elimbed nearly half a million in December. i They said the employment picture for most of 1953 was “e»eepttonally favorable'* in spite of “some reversals in recent months." In some categories, they said, unemployment was comparatively low. A department report issued late Tuesday said December jobless totaled 1,850,000 or an increase of <22.000 compared to November. The December figure also was 425,000 higher than December, 1952. The total number of persona working dropped even more in December--from €1.925,000 in November to «0,714.0 M. The ; depart-" went said this bigger drop in the employed total was due to the fact that many farm workers withdrew from the labor force—and thus were not listed as unemployed. But the department said the average unemployment for all 1953 was only 1.500,000 -thw iowwr annual figure since World War 11. It also noted that the proportion of civil|an workers without jobs and looktag for work was only 3 per cent — “about as low as in any December since World War II except for last year. The department added that the percentage of sueh workers looking for jobs also was “well under" the 1949-50 level. ANNUAL REPORT tO»tlnnyd Krom Oae) with smashers.

CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE l DETECTIVES in New York had i been trying to isolate a nameless, i faceless blackmailer with tragedies 1 strewn tn his triumphant and unchecked forward march, a black- i mailer who had changed his approach and might be at the bottom of what had happened to Libby. The detectives had succeeded in tying in one of the names on the list McKee had given them with the girl who bad jumped off th* George Washington bridge. . _> was Hugo.——McKee eaid so. He said: “You were engaged to Margery Adams at one time, Mr. Cavanaugh. She married another man. She was ’ with you in your apartment on the last two days of her life. It was from your apartment that she i went to the bridge, and her death.” Kit 'alt as though she were going to be sick. She saw Hugo’s face to flashes. All trace of emotion was gone from him. He didn’t attempt • to deny the inspector's charge. ; When he spoke, It was to a calm voice. — “Yes, that’s About right; McKee. Only I wasn’t there when Madge went that night, up the fire escape and across the roof. I’d forgotten about the fire escape.” He passed a hand over his face. “1 had no intention of telling you anything about Madge. How did you find out?” McKee said: “An interested neighbor of yours we located, who had since moved. She used to live on th* floor below you.” “Oh. Argus-eyed Agnes. She had a permanent crick in her neck from listening up the dumbwaiter shaft.” Hi* vagrant grin faded and his eyes grew dark and his mouth hard. “I was engaged to Madge a long time ago, when we were both kids, years before she married Tim Adams. He’s a nice guy. Madge was an right, too. only scatterbrained. I didn’t se* anything of them for yeara Then one night last November I ran into Madge in a bar on the west side. She was with a raffish crowd. I met her for lunch the next day. Tim was tn Korea. shape. She was bored and lonely, I suppose, and she’d been running around and drinking too much. Her people live in Sullivan county and she said she couldn’t stand the country. 1 talked to her like a Dutch uncle, but 1 could see I wasn’t getting anywhere. 1 met her again to the middle of December in Grand Central, and that time she was really a mess.

o— 0 Modern Etiquette | BY ROBERTA LEE - I 0 0 Q. Should a child always rise when being introduced? A. Children should be taught to do this at the earliest possible age. It is insolent for them to keep their seats, but if they have not been taught to rise, they should not be criticized for this lack of courtesy. It is only too obvious where the fault lien. Q. How should the nutter knife lie placed on the individual butter plates, horizontally across the top or vertically at the right side? A. There is no set rule about this, but the consensus is that it looks better placed in the same direction as the other silver. Q. Isn’t the bridegroom supposed to pay for the wedding music? A. No; this expense is borne by the bride or her family. Trade in a good Town — Decatur

managed to get bold of some whiskey—l don’t know how—maybe from one of the elevator boys—although they denied it later. The door was still locked when I got back, but Madge was gone. A few hours later her body was fished out of the Hudson river.” McKee said, “Why didn’t you teU us this in the first place, Cavanaugh?” “Because Madge’s father and mother are alive. Because she has a young sister. Because Tim Adams is a good guy. Madge’s father and mother still think the sun rose and set on Madge. But Tim was approached. He was offered a half, dozen letters of Madge’s for $5,00&. He didn’t have SB,OOO and he didn’t want to go to Madge’s father;, he bought two of the letters at SI,OOO apiece, one at a time, over a period of three months. The letters were written while Madge was drunk. No doubt it wtis suggested to her that, she write them, and they were pretty bad. The than she wrote them to. the man with whom she was infatuated. was Tony Wilder.” “What' happened to the other letters,” McKee asked. “1 got them on the morning I went to Wilder’s apartment after Libby disappeared. I didn’t, know before where Wilder lived.” “Where are the letters now?"’ “I destroyed them ” “You didn’t give them to Adams?’’ “No, no, he’d had enough. I just told him over the phone that it was finished and he didn’t have to worry any more “ “Did Wilder offer the letters to Adams?” Hugo said no, not under his own name, that the preliminary negotiations were carried on over the phone, and that th* money that passed was sent to Harry E. Brown at the General Delivery post-office to New York. He added that of course it was Wilder who had collected. Not proven, the Scotsman reflected. Wilder might claim that he had bought the three; letter® in his apartment to protect himself and the girl ... If only Adams had come to them at the time—but it was the same old story, wearisomely reiterated. On the whole he was inclined to believe Cavanaugh for the present anyhow. Kit believed him implicitly. The relief was almost as piercing as pain. Had Hugo been telling Libby about Tony Wilder down in the glen A few minutes ago. trying to root out any feeling she might have for Wilder, straightening the way for himself? Hugo asked McKee whether he was going after Wilder. “Personally 1 have every intention of smashing his face in the next time I meet him, now that this has been forced out in the open." s i?'i2e’fe

more about Tony Wilder first —and " I’ll have to see Adams. I want you to come beck with me to New York, Cavanaugh.” "No,” Hugo frowned. McKee said. "Yes, now.” The two men went on talking and Kit walked away. Two hours later McKee and Hugo Cavanaugh entered the shabbily ornate hotel in midtown Manhattan in which Wilder had taken refuge from’ his ere d i t o r » and where, according to his story, he had waited in vain for a phone call from Libby Tallis until his patience was exhausted. Cavanaugh was sure that Wilder was mixed up In the extortion of the $25,000 from Philip Haven—sure that Wilder had played the front man, the districted lover, while accomplices did the rest, and that he had his share of the loot stashed away in some safe place. " The crux of the matter was the eoUeeting of th* money in the candy box. If they could find put who had removed the box from under Kit Haven’s arm on the Times Square subway platform at the peak «fthe rush hour, the rest would be easy. The single clue, admittedly slim, was a woman in a green raincoat Cavanaugh had seen in the lobby of the hotel, and a similarly-clad woman who answered the same general description Kit Haven had noticed during her subway trek. * Tony Wilder’s own alibi for the interval in question, roughly from 5 to 6 p. nt on Monday, bad been checked Cavanaugh had seen Wilder enter the hotel and go upstairs at around half-past 3. and two of McKee’s men had established him in his room at 6:30. Cavanaugh pointed to an armchair towards the rear of the lobby and-near th* elevators. “1 sat there from th* time be tot In until almost 6 o’clock.” “You’re sure he didn’t slip past you?” Cavanaugh was reluctantly sure. There was no other exit for guests. A checker who sat just inside the passage to the service quarters was equally sure Wilder hadn’t gone past him. McKee took it further. At shortly after 6, Wilder had ordered up a bottle of whiskey from the bar..-Number 27 had delivered it “Yeah, I remember it," he said, “because I almost made a boner. I think there was a dame in 68. It was like this. We’re pretty busy about then and when 1 knocked and didn’t get an answer right off. I unlocked the door with my key, figuring maybe the guy had stepped out. He was there all right.' and when I walked in he was pretty mad. The bathroom door was open a little and while he was bawling me out it closed—and 1 don’t think it blew shut.
