— Hardening of Leg Arteries
ty MERMAN M WNMSfN, M.O. “TH® feet should receive more attentlonlhan the face," said famous Dr. William Osler. This quotation becomes more true with the passage of years. k Hardening of the arteries and other diseases of the Wood vessels are becoming more and more prevalent as the proportion of elderly people in our population increases. Oeear Late in Life Usually, the manifestations of blood vessel diseases appear toward the latter part of the productive years or after a person has retired. It places a great economic, as Well as health burden on the family of the patient. Contrary to existing belief, much can be done for these patients, if the disease Is discovered early. Hardening of Vessels Most often, the blood vessels of the legs are affected. They harden with their caliber being greatly reduced. Thus, adequate amounts of blood are not permitted to provide proper circulation to the leg*. The patient complains of pain on walking, usually in the calf of the legs Thcre may be a throbbing of the tegs and feet,. with 1_
The fight between Gov. Craig and Senators Capehart and Jenner widens and the threat !s made that the Governor will start his own two percent club to raise funds to regain control of the state Republican organization. Although there is no club by name, state house employes and those on state payrolls realize that they must chip in for the political party war chest. The governor is considering a separate collection agency or club, through which persons who hold jobs under his administration will be expected to donate to the kitty. The state GOP organization is reputed to have a 1170,000 fund already and political leaders have their eye on a scheme that will boost the amount to a half million dollars for the November election. The state-house-senator-ial embroilment is getting hotter every day and from the sidelines it is interesting to watch and speculate on the outcome. “ 0 o►— A New Approach:— Every neighborhood has experienced trouble with destructive youngsters at one time or another —not necessarily the trouble that arises out of juvenile delinquency but the sort that could lead to juvenile delinquency if left unchecked. "What person with a flower— garden_ ©r—new lawn hasn’t had to defend it against trespassing? In Minneapolis a woman who experienced such difficulty took constructive action. Neighborhood children had stripped the bark from one of her favorite trees. Instead of losing her temper she sought out the offenders and explained how much the tree meant to her. how much money and time she had spent to keep it alive. The children were sorry and anxious to make amends. She began classes to teach them atrotit plants and the pleasure they can give. Out of those classes came a club of boys and girls Who call themselves- the Yqjjtig Peoples Cleanup Association. The club keeps other children from destroying private property. Similar constructive efforts might be fruitful Elsewhere.

violet-red color of these parts. There may be burning of the feet as well. The pain is usually relieved by stopping the use of the muscles. Smoking may also increase the pain. .. 1 Various modern teste can be performed by a physician to determine whether circulation to ' the legs is adequate. ■ Feet Elevated ~~ H When the WOod supply to the legs has been cut down, caused by , the hardening of the arteries, the feet and legs can usually be helped by elevating the feet on a few cushions. Heat is often of help in Increasing the circulation of the legs. Various drugs are now available to Increase the circulation. Also, an operation known as sympathectomy has helped leg circulation in these elderly individuals. A person with any type of circulation difficulty should pay special attention to his feet. Foot hygiene should be watched very, carefully. QUESTION AND ANSWER O Miss O.: Will the help acne? J I Answer:' In certain cases, of deep-seated acne, the antibiotic drugs often will help relieve the situation temporarily.

CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT THE brownstone nouse was sitent and dark, save for • one dim amber light burning in the downstairs nail, when Dale went up to her room that night. The drive home, with Don awkwardly trying to explain away something he didn't quite understand hunseit, had heightened her tensions. Once tn tier room, a compulsion to act on ner resolve without delay drove her to start packing her bags. She did not near the door ogjen,. nor see Agatha Galbraith—pmcurlea and shiny-faced from her bedtime soap and water ablutions —until a satin slipper hit one of the bags with a disdainful kick. “What’s all this?” Aggie demanded, in ner best top,sergeant voice. “What do you think you’re up to?” Dale looked up defiantly. “You’re supposed to be asleep.” “I'd have to be stone-deaf to sleep through the racket m here!” “I'm sorry. Aggie.” “And you haven't answered my question. What does this,” and she gave the leather bag another kick, “mean?” “Stop thundering at me,” Dale said wearily. "And stop pushing me around. Doesn't anyone give me credit tor naving a mind ot my own ? 1 know where I’m going this time, and why.” “And where, may 1 ask, is that ?” "Home," Dale said. Aggie sat down on one of the bags and folded ner hands. “Do you teei like telling me it?” “There's nothing to tell. 1 am going back to the house Kelly and i lived in. I was nappy there.. And don’t send Phil after me this time. Aggie. I'm not coming back." - Aggie s eyes narrowed. “What happened yesterday ?” “Nothing.” Dale lifted her eyes and met the older woman's. "Nothing,” she Said dully, "that won’t go on happening to me, and on and on.' 1 - Aggie frowned. “Don!” she exclaimed in a tone of mild astonishment, "1 didn’t think he had it in him." “You find it amusing—” Dale began accusingly. ”1 find it pathetic.” Aggie shook ner head. “Poor Don. Poor, clumsy, fumbling Don.” “Those aren’t my adjectives tor him," Dale flashed. - “No, of course.” Aggie sighed. "So you’re going.": "In the morning,” Dale said firmly. “Peace,” Aggie murmured. “You will tind It—gray. A reverie in gray. Smoke. A shadowland. You weren't- meant to live in a gray world, Dale." She rose. “How shall I stop Phil from following you? I can t very well lock mm up.” .—Just tell him it'- no use, Aggie." “And you fhink he’ll listen to me?’’ ' ' — Dale almost smiled. “He told me once that you were the only person m the world he’d let boss him around.” “That," said Aggie dryly, "was

before he fell m love with you." She walked from the room without giving Dale a chance to reply. Thbre were only a few hours left for sleeping, and toward dawn Dale dreamed In a globe of grayness she spun, and upon her closed eyelids whirling galaxies of brightness beat and throbbed. She was in a play, a cloud, a dream, and breath was gray mist, and the moon was faded, and dim star-dials pointed to the day’s pale beginning ...Dale opened ner" eyes. Light streamed through the slats ot the Venetian blinds, and topaz dust motes careened up and down, up and down in a frenzy of delight in the sun. But a weight like sand, lingering from the dream, lay on ner body. It was moments before she got out of bed, and showered and dressed, , —- The taxi was outside, waiting to take ner to the station, when a messenger boy * arrived with a square, bro.wn-paper-wrapped parcel. “For Mrs. Kelland Fraser,” he said. Dale saw the letterhead on the address label. Scott and Carruth ers, Publishers. Kelly’s book! She was not returning home alone, after all. Something of Kelly, touchable and real, was ner companion. From the taxi window, she gave Agatha a last wave, then sne sat back quietly against the upholstery, holding the bulky package very tightly in the curve ot her two arms. At the cottage, unpacking the book first of ail, Dale found it Vhcredible that other voices had for a time drowned Kelly's out: that other feature* had overlaid hi*. dimming them. She thought, The dead are so defenseless against the eager, pressuring. cries of "Forget, forget!” She unknotted a handkerchief which she was wearing ascot fashion at the cbllfir" of her linen suit, and wiped a space clean on the manteL There was a crackle ot static electricity in the silk square ot material. Dust rose m a flurry and settled, gently. Five ot the books she left undisturbed tn the corrugated carton. The sixth sne lifted and placed on the solid oak mantel, opening the stiff covers and spreading the crisp new pages so that the book stood alone. The ceiling-high mirror over the mantel held the dim shadow ot Kelly s image, its substance the photograph on Trumpet of Noon s jacket cover. Dale snatched up the bright square ot silk and polished an oblong oi the mirror, and now the reflection was clear-out, staring back at hei gravely. A shadow ot a shadow ... Dale wished regretfully that she’d nad a smiling photograph to give Steven Carruthers, but this, taken as a farewell gift the year his father went abroad, wa* the only one she’d nad. Kelly would have liked it. “I’d hate an eternal grin lor publicity, darling.' The artist who had designed the jacket had caught the quality ot sunlight So purely that the two
The men were Identified as Calvin Green, Ray Skaggs Jr., and James Williams. Officials said the inmates plotted to escape by jumping 25 feet from a dormitory window and scaling an outdr wall. Guards were waiting when Green and Skaggs jumped from the window. Green suffered a sprained back. Youth Is Sentenced For Slaying Veteran INDI ANAPOOS UP — Bobby ■Lee Harris, 17, Indianapolis, today 'began serving a 2-to-21-year term in the Indiana reformatory after he pleaded guilty to the “Stringtown gang” slaying of a Korean War veteran.

who stood in the open doorway were drenched in radiance and flowing warmth. Kelly would have liked that, t 00... Dale pressed back sudden tear* and turned away from the mirror. Nothing tn the room had been touched since the day she had fled i to the big house with ner grief. Grandmother's housewifely sou) had rebelled _at. locking the doors : before the cottage had been given a thorough nouse cleaning, out Dale nad said stubbornly, "Don t i touch anything at all 1 don’t care : it it’s spic-and-span or not. Just lock the doors.” A brown turtle-necked sweater lay across a chair arm. Kelly s battered old thesaurus —At this rate, I’ll wear out one a 'yeart — was on a low table, ms favorite meerschaum beside it. Dales fingerprints were on the rouhded 1 pipe * bowl when she set it down, and she wiped smudges ot dust absently off ner hands a* she walked toward the window. . The boxed-in room nad a musty smelt But as she lifted her hands to open a window, Dale realized that the storm windows nadiit been taken oft Grandmother had. indeed, followed ner instructions ano touched nothing! A trail gray cobwet nung like a miniature • narnmock between the outer and inner pane ot glass; it broke as Dale flung the window up and pushed back the hinged flap over the three round slots tn the outer frame. The sweet outer air surged tn. Then she opened all the doors Last night. Grandmother had said, “It you are going to live m che cottage, It’ll need a thorough cleaning. We ll get someone from the village to help us.” “No. I’ll do it myself, Grandmother." Grandy rocked to and fro in his creaky old chair, before he said mildly, “Let the girl set her own house tn Order, my dear.” Dale flung him an angry glance, aware ot something enigmatic in his tone. But he had only stuffed a handful ot tobacco into his pipe, tamped it down firmly and gone on watching the cfouds creep silently over the moon aero** the lake. Dale carried her bags in from the porch and started unpacking. A sizable and heterogeneous wardrobe. she thought, strewing garments indifferently on the bed as they came out ot the bag. The geranium -colored dress, her "badge ot courage” at Agatha Galbraith s first dinner. The strapless evening gown and wrap and slippers she had worn for her first date With Don. The hat whose rakish Ceathet had perked her up for the interview with Steven Carruthers. The tailored business suits tor the bookstore, the cotton dress that Andrea had blithely said was "Just perfect for a day in the country!” Out they came, disheveled from careless and hurried packing, all the clothes with their New York labels.
