Os all the raw opium seized, one quarter came from Communist China. Throughout the world Communists are pushing the idea that the free countries are doing Red China an injustice by withholding recognition. Before the Reds try to elbow and bully their way into the UN, they should first end their nefarious opium trade.

i I _■ —— A Symptom Needing Care

By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.D. BLOOD in the urine Is not ft disease in itself, but rather a symptom of disease. In many instances, the bleeding will stop by itself and the person will forget about its occurrence. Important Sign However, there is always a cause for it, and blood in the urine should be considered a dangerous situation until proven otherwise. It could foretell a Simple or serious disturbance. There are many conditions that can cause bleeding of the kidney and other organs connected with Urination. „ These include kidney stones, kidney tumors, injury, infection, cystic disease of the kidney and many others. Diseases of the organs around the kidneys can also cause bleeding. The most common causes, of course, are infection, tumor, and kidney stones. i If the bleeding occurs when the r rson first begins to urinate, it usually due to some disturbance tn the lower portion of the ufinary mechanism, such as the bladder. However, if it occurs toward the end of emptying the

'S' 11 — 1 I Accidents inflict terrible sutfer- ■ ing on victims and in some cases p death would be easier, it seems. I Six years ago a four year old Elk- ! hart boy was struck down by an ' auto. He Uvea, but never has fully regained consciousness. Scar tissue affected the portion of his brain which controls voluntary human action and he lies in bed, unable to talk. Devotedly a loving mother cares for her child, hoping always that he will recover. And she has faith that he will. Such a case brings sympathy from every person, along with a prayer that the good God help the injured boy. 0 0 The Indiana state treasury has another surplus which it does not know how to spend. The extr% cash is in the state soldiers’ bonus fund, amounting to 21 million dollars. State Treasurer Millis suggests four ways to dispose of the money — use it to help pay for a state office building, aid cities and towns, give it to the highway commission to be used on the roads, or pay a bonus to Korean veterans. Technically the money should be returned to the taxpayers, for the law did not authorize other payments. - 0 0 Gov. Craig proudly releases a letter from President Eisenhower in which the chief executive commends the Indiana governor for his work as a state official. Directly opposite to Mr. Eisenhower's commendation, Indiana's two senators, Capehart and Jenner are attempting to belittle the Craig administration. Mr. Craig may not be liked by the senator- . lai bosses in the party, but he has displayed nerve and leadership ability in his program to remodel state charitable and penal institutions. 0 0 Only the Communists are distressed over the discovery of oil in -poverty stricken Sicily. They are afraid that if this traditionally poor Italian area should suddenly become oil-rich their plans for extending their influence there will be foiled. The oil strike was made recently. Officials are cautious about the discovery, but acknowledge that Sicilian oil has emerged from the wildcat stage. Several companies are planning to drill wells, and are at present competing for concessions. If the oil reserves are extensive, the Italian people will benefit. Should their poverty be eased, the Red threat will be alleviated.

bladder, it may be due to a kidney disturbance. Out of a group of one thousand persons who had bleeding, twenty-two per cent had cancer as the cause of their difficulty. Many of these persons waited for months and years before consulting a doctor about this symptom. Since there is always a cause for bleeding, it should be Investigated thoroughly by having a complete physical examination. Special X-rays of the kidney and other organs may have to be made, as well as an instrument examination of these organs. If found early enough, many diseases including cancer or severe infection, can be cured before they become too serious for adequate treatment QUESTION AND ANSWER Mr. EL H. S.: Is it true that certain operations help a person with epilepsy? Answer: If the epilepsy is due to scar tissue that is fixed in one location, it can be helped by surgery which removes the scar tissue. Many cases have been permanently helped in this way.

SYNOPSIS The horse-breeding farm In Tennessee which the widowed Gale Taber and her daughters. Ravel and Julia had tried to maintain, had run them into mounting debt. Gale had hoped that Ravel might marry John-Mark Williamson. a substantial farmer, and that her younger daughter. Julia, a nurse, might become Dr. Pete Marshall s wife. But Rgvel seemed to want Marshall, while Williamson's attention centered upon Julia. In a reckless mood. Ravel joins with Sewell Albright, an old family friend, in-a drinking party, an episode which lands Sewelf in the hospital Where JDr. Marshall and nurse Julia Taber are called upon to attend him. Ravel decides to win Williamson away from her sister, but he rudely spurns her bold advances. CHAPTER ELEVEN • GALE TABER did her hair carefully. As a rule, three smacks with a brush and a bobby pin or two jabbed Into the russet of her curls satisfied her, but this afternoon she did it over and over, not too happy with the result at last. She looked 50, she decided unhappily, and that grim milestone was still almost six years away. There was a tired look around her eyes. Her financial worries had been eased, but not solved, and there had been a fierce argument with Ravel when John-Mark found a buyer for four mares. “For two cents,” stated Ravel 1 grimly. “I would marry Sewell Albright myself! 1 could, you know.” Gale’s head had gone up. She had. caught Ravel’s eyes pn her, with a hint of bafflement in .them. "Do you think you could?" she had said then. "If you can—by all means do it” "I could get him away from you —it would be easy," persisted Ravel. "1 wonder,” was all her mother had said to that - The scene had ended by Ravel’s stormy dash out of the house. Gale looked over her wardrobe unhappily. Why hadn’t she taken better care of her clothes? There was nothing left that was even fairly new except a blue dress to which sne had lost the belt. It would have to do. ’T'm going to town. Thelma I’ll be late for dinner," she said. "You fetch me some, currants then and some candied pineapple," Thelma ordered. "My Christmas cake had ought to been made a month ago." "Good gracious, I forgot Christmas. Dooley .might come home. Well have to do something festive.” "Ain’t got long to do it in. Ain't much more’n two weeks." "I’ll get at it right away. Give me a list." - -.- _ Poor Sewell would have to spend. Christmas in that dreary hospital. Gale thought compassionately of turn as she drove the 18 miles into

Five young Adams county men, who are serving with the U. S. army at Fort 'Lewis, Wash., will be transferred to the Yakima (Wash.) Firing Center in May to participate in exercise hill top with the 44th infantry division. They are as follows: ' Pvt. Floyd C. Braun. 21. son of Mrs. Margaret M.

Raymond Koenemann. 22. son of 'Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Koenemann of Decatur, route 1, who is also a member of the division’s 130th infantry regiment. ■Cpl. William D.

the city. She should have gone to see him long ago. She drove to the hospital first and went up to the fourth floor. Julia was not in the room, but a frail-looking girl with haunted brown eyes sat beside the bed with a notebook on her knee. Sewell beamed, lifted himself by the trapeze arrangement hung over, the bed and held out his hands. “Well, Gale, so you did come at last! 1 told Dooley this morning I guessed I'd have to break my neck to get you down here. This is Mrs. Rhodes, my secretary. They let me do a little work now and then. This is Mrs. Taber, Rhody, Gale Taber." The two women said, “How do you do?” mechanically, and Gale saw the pale girl’s eyes widen and a troubled look come into them. Sewell pushed a stack of letters across the counterpane. “That will do today, Rhody. Dump ’em tn that drawer over there. We’ll take care of them tomorrow.” "But, Mr. Albright, that Washington letter demands an immediate answer,” argued FarrelL “You answer it then. You'll know what to say. Or ask Randall to do it.” As Farrell went to the elevator, she saw Sewell’s nurse coming, very neat and crisp in starchy cap and apron. This was another Taber —there were three of them then. She had seen the tawny-haired girl who had come tn twice while she was taking dictation, and she had been sent away both times while Sewell joked with that girl about her black eye. The younger Tabers she had discounted as passing fancies, to be treated, with avuncular indulgence by Sewell: but this older one, this Gale, was neither young nor. frivolous. She was, in Farrell Rhode's unhappy thinking, a menace, a danger. • • • At the office Farrell sat numbly, staring at the typewriter for a long time. A file girl put her head in the door, and Farrell roused herself, got out the Washington papers from the briefcase. “Give these to Mr. Randall Tell him-Mr. Albright would be grateful if he would attend to the matter immediately.” “When’s he coming back? It takes a long time tor a hip, doesn’t it? Wouldn't It make you sick—an old man like that trying to act the young wolf and busting himself up?” . “It takes a long time for. any break to heal, Gracie,” Farrell said, so frigidly that the girl looked at her nervously and picked up Jhe papers quickly. • “'Well, you gotta admit he made an awful fool of himself,” she persisted. "All over the building

WAYNE, Ind. — Dr. John Hararny of Indianapolis, authority on Europe and the Middle East, and Carl J. Megel of Chicago, president of the AFL American Federation of Teachers, will be principal speakers at the annual convention of the Indiana council of teachers union, here Saturday. D. S.

they’re laughing about it" She went away then, aware that the stony woman at the desk had not even heard. She went away wide-eyed and tingling with wild ideas. My gosh, old Rhody acted like something had died! My gosh, you don’t suppose—. Bhe flew down the corridor te whisper excitedly to the other young things in her department Farrell had no idea how long she had been sitting rigidly at ner machine when the door opened and Pierce Albright came in. She gave him a wintry look and jerked away when he strode around the desk and roughed her hair. "Get away!" she snapped. "Your father was asking about you.” He lifted one of her hands from the keyboard and looked at it intently. "Brace yourself, Rhody, aid pet You’re in for a shock. Rhody, you’re in love with my old man." gjie snatched the hand away and sent ner chair spinning backward on its casters, as she sprang up. "Os ail the utterly idiotic, disgusting things 1 ever heard—” She choked on her fury. He dived out the door, leaving Farrell standing, stunned and aghast, in the middle of the little room. Her anger had ebbed as swiftly as it rose and now she was cold and rigid with consternation. Here panic entered. Had other people seen it, too? Were the gijria whispering and giggling about it in the powder rooms? •• • ■ It did not occur to Ravel that since her father’s death she had pushed Gale into the background. Little by little she had assumed her father’s masculine prerogatives, his executive capacity on the Taber farms, leaving the practical details to her mother and JohnMark. She had resented any asof authority by them and was outraged by her mother's temerity in selling any of the stock. To a farmer who would not appreciate them. That John-Mark had had a hand in it was an added piece, of treachery in her mind. Deepest in her was the certainty that all these recent rebuffs had a common link. Tlrere was a conspiracy of some kind to beat down her pride and humble her. JohnMark’s casual brush-off, Gales amazing challenge—there was a common denominator somewhere. Dooley! They werg all disdaining her because of Dooley. Dooley was the undetermining factor—she had tO .be. What other woman could be in John-Mark’s mind, at the bottom of his sudden decision to refurbish his neglected boU«T She had a sudden idea for revenge, four-sided, complete. (To Be Continued)

Girl Scout Shelter Will Be Erected At Hanna-Nuttman Park The Girl Scout council has decided to erect the proposed shelter house for Decatiir Girl Scouts at Hanna-Nuttman park. The Homestead park was also considered but the council chose Hanna-Nuttman for several reasons, including the fact that the Boy Scout shelter house would be near enough to use in conjunction with the Girl Scout shelter. The council is now waiting for bids on the foundation. Further plans for the shelter will proceed when the contract is awarded. . Mrs. Chester Dalzell is president , of the Decatur council. Mrs. Dalzell and Mrs. Byron Smith attended a Girl Scout area study group meeting at Warsaw Monday. Those attending discussed the consolidation of several area councils.
