M ll I l|M You still have two full weeks to take your vacation in August and enjoy the out-doors at a time when nature seems to arrive gt a golden peak. —-0 0— ' ■ Mystery women have been mentioned in the Dr. Shepperd case, but ao far the murderer of the osteopath's wife remains the biggest mystery. —0- ft— The federal treasury has negotiated a six billion dollar hike in the'national debt limit, which it hopes to pay off ip ten months. That's’ like giving a note with the privilege of renewal at expiration. 0 ft—— Wells county had a very successful 4-H club fair and auction of club livestock, but their top bid did not equal those paid in Adams county. The grand champion steer brought 47 cents a pound and the blue ribbon hog, 71 cents, compared to 55 and 77(4 cents paid at the 'Monroe auction. ' 0 0— Readers of the Bluffton NewsBanner are overwhelmingly opposed to the employment of reformatory prisoners at the Wells County state forest. The poll runs about 93 percent against the present employment plan. While ft is admitted that the state has a problem in attempting to keep the men busy, their presence at the state fo?bst hasn’t worked out too satisfactorily and citizens are demanding that they be removed. —_o—-0 The March of Dimes drive is underway. Your contribution to this worthy fund is used to aid polio sufferers and for research that some day may come up with the answer that will.eliminate the disease from mankind. The current campaign is the result of the ■tioiMuS •»««, st nNational Foundation for Infantile Paralysis "going broke” in giving unselfish service to men, women and children who were stricken by polio. That is reason enough to contribute to the fund so that the foundation and local chapters can carry on their good work. 0 o—— ’ ’George Washington slept there, but that is not the only reason for establishing a new Washington shrine and museum at Winchester. Va. This is a building which served as Washington's office when he was doing surveying work. In 1757, when he became a colonel, he made this his headquarters while supervising the erection of Fort Loudoun. The museum contains colonial and revolutionary relics. As every location identified with Washington's career is of interest, Americans who want to know more about the .nation's past will welcome this addition to the list of sites associated with our first president.

A Common Abdominal in By HERMAN N. BUtIDEHN, M.O.

—- piARRHEA account* fur more than ten per cent of all the calls tn many a doctor’* practice. The cases range from acute types, with frequent watery movement* and vomiting, to some that are just a gradually Increasing frequency of stools. Abdominal discomfort, cramps and nausea are not uncommon in this sort of upset. Many Causes The cause* of diarrhea are many. It may be due, especially In hot weather, to infected food, or food that ha* been allowed to stand too long and has germs growing tn It. It may be due to drugs; or it may be due to the generalized condition of the patient. Most common diarrhea* are of an infectious nature. Most diarrhea cases stop by themselves. The patient is very uncomfortable for a few days. He doesn't think much about ■ why he l* sick, but jut desires to get well. Doctor Not Called Since most are not severe or prolonged, the patient does not call on his physician for Immediate relief. If. however, the Miarrhaa narslaU over * Imu

By getting an injunction Presl- , •dent Eisenhower' was able to avert a scheduled strike at two atomic plants in Tennessee and Kentucky. At these two vital installations, some 4,500 workers operate facilities which process uranium for production of materials to make both atomic and hydrogen bombs. The work that is done at these plants is done nowhere else in the United States. It is hard to imagine anything which would do greater damage to our defense effort than an atomic .strike. ' The injunction _ gives the government eighty days to seek ways of dealing with the problem. During that time workers will stay on their jobs and management is restricted from staging a lockout. It is to be hoped that before the time expires a solution can be found. 0 ft President Eisenhower was stating a historic American position when he told his press conference that for America to wage a preventive war would be out of the question. He added that in the atomic age there can be no s>uch thing as a preventive wat. From time to time people come forwardwith the idea that we can further our cause by “dropping a few atomic bombs” on the Communists. They forget that our enemies have the power to retaliate. They also forget that the damage that would be done to our moral fiber by embarking on aggression would be as great as that done to our enemies by our bombs. There is a great difference between a nation always ready to defend itself and one always willing to settle its problems by the use of military strength. ft 0 Welcome Stranger:— President Eisenhower has given his endorsement to a plan to build an American museum of immigration at the base of the Statue of Liberty. A national committee plans to raise 85,000,000 to make the museum a permaoent reminder of the contributions made to this country by people from other nations. ' The idea of such a museum is a good one. It would make Americans who visited it of the debt they owe to the men and women who had the courage to come to a strange land seeking freedom and paid for the privilege with lives of service and accomplishment. It could also serve as a source of inspiration to foreign visitors who would have a chance to reflect on how earlier immigrants succeeded when they were given the chance. There could be no more appropriate site for the museum than in the shadow of the statue of the.»lady who has welcomed so’ many immigrants to our shores.

period of time, or is unrelenting, a careful examination by the physician shou'd be undertaken in order to find the true cause. Diarrhea often produces great weakness, if the person puts himself to bed. for 24 hours, or until the diarrhea subsides, and If he uses an antispasmodic prescribed by his physician, the trouble will usually be relieved. Food To Ba Avoided . .. Usually., all food except tea or clear soup should be avoided during the first day. In some instances, only cracked Ice i* permitted. Once the nausea and diarrhea have been controlled, a soft diet may be resumed. Recently, a new drug called resion has been used with good result* in controlling the immediate symptoms of diarrhea. It is made of resins which absorb and prevent further diarrhea. However, it should be used only under the direction of a physician. QUESTION AND ANS WEI Mrs. J. C.: Are the new polio vaccines at all harmful? Answer: Jests have proven that the polio vaccines now being U-cd to test their effectiveness are not

CHAPTER TWENTY WHEN we went aboard the Dixie Dandy, Russell wanted to stop at his cabin, so we parted and 1 went on into the dining saloon to join the other passengers in time Cor lunch. My entrance caused a minor sensation. 1 looked first tor Ellen but she hadn’t come in yet. Everyone was goggling at me and mouths opened as if I’d returned from the dead. The captain was almost frightened, I thought. Mr. Ed Boltinck glared at me as though I'd made turn lose a bet and he was disgusted with me. Doc Riggs jumped up nervously, came around the table and pounded on my back, as high up as he could reach. The John Carlton Buttrams used up some of their limited energy in nodding violently at me. And the Rev. Dr. Dunbar stood up and smiled a welcome. Three pretty girls 1 didn’t Know just giggled and whispered to each other. I squirmed away from Doc’s hand. “Stop thumping me,** I growled. “Welcome home, wanderer," he yelled. “Returned from the vasty deep." He pulled out a chair and pushed me intq it. 1 was compelled to repeat several tunes that I’d merely missed my boat at Paducah. Doc had a few phoney explanations for my tardiness. The waiter brought me a plate of tomato soup as dark as mahogany and I spooned into It, letting most of the silly commentary pass without answer. Mr. Ed Boltinck said to me, “The captain told us you bad been taken ashore under arrest." 1 smiled at him, glanced at the scared, ashen face of Capt Jeilicoe and said: "I’ve made arrangements to sue him." Capt. Jellicoe put his cup in its saucer with a clatter, threw his napkin beside it, and pushed his chair back. 1 poked a curious finger at an airmail envelope given to me by Russell, noticed its Philadelphia postmark and glanced up tn time to see Jellicoe start tor me, his wide face suffused with angry blood. Russell's hand clamped hard around the captain's, arm. “A joke, captain," Russell said mildly. "Mr. Wilde knows you merely made an honest mistake.” Capt. Jellicoe apologised and be choked his way through a clumsy phrase. He bowed very stiffly and stalked away from the table. "Are we to assume, then," Doc asked blandly, "that you were not incarcerated?? “Let it go, Doc," 1 said. “It's a poor joke. Don't ride it to death. Where's Miss Pomeroy?" “Slaving," Doc said with an impish grin. “Odious company aha is when she works. Nothing but tight meters, cameras, flashbulbs and strange cabalistic mutterings about angles and density and such. There’s nothing worse than a > working woman. Takes the heart i out of a man," i’A,

Most of the people at the table finished their food and began to drift away, slightly irritated that neither Russell nor I ’hSti done arty? thing worth comment Three uniformed stewards waited outside in the bar to conduct the passengers on tours of the old houses of Natchez and most of them wanted to get off in the first load. Boltinck dismissed ma missus contemptuously when she left us. He brought out ms gold cigar case, selected an oily dark cigar and made a small ceremony piercing it and getting it alighC "Old houses!" he snorted. "Get that woman anything, any single thing that isn’t brand spanking new this year and she'll toss it right back in your face. But she s nuts about old houses. Now why is that? Shell go miles to poke inside some old kitchen and she’ll coo and gurgle about some rusty iron pot that she herself wouldn't give houperoom to. Now why is that ?** Doc Riggs took himself off to look tor Ellen and remind her of their date to tour Natchez. Bob tinck got up when Doc left. He touched Russell’s shoulder ana nodded to me. "Nasty busmess, he said briefly, obviously trying to display a neighborly concern "Glad to see you’re getting over it Some price to pay tor razor blades, eh?" Russell said, quietly to me, “By the way, Wilde, 1 wis h you wouldn’t mention anything about' my family connection with the company.” He got up. "See you later, Wilde. I've got work to do." 1 watched him go out of the saloon and wondered why he wanted to make sure 1 said nothing about the tact that his mother owned the Line. Then I torgot about it when 1 saw Ellen coming swiftly toward me. “Carney!" She bent over my chair oetore 1 could get up. “Oh, Carney! Doc Riggs told me you were back. What happened? That odious captain said you . . ." "He won’t be saying anything more," 1 said grimly. "Nothing happened. A local FBI man wanted to know what 1 knew about Stewart. Our talk lasted too long and 1 missed the boat. Russel) and I took a train to meet here. And that's all." Then 1 looked at her and said: “You’re beautiful. Did you miss me? Sit down and have some lunch." “1 ate in the crew's mess," Ellen said abseptly. “1 was taking pictures down below." She sat in the chair at my right and held my left hand warmly tn both palms. "Don't do that again," she said softly. “I was frightened.” “Never again, 1 * I said fervently. “1 must go soon,’* she said after a silent moment. “The lovely mansions of Natchez. Come with me? 1 have to take pictures but not for long." "1 don t think so," I said. “It's

0 0 Modern Etiquette I BY ROBERTA LEE I 0 , , — —0 Q. Who goes first down the aisle of a motion picture theater, the man or the woman* A. The woman precedes. And unless she is with her husband, fiance, or someone she knows real well, she should turn to him and ask, “Is this all right?” This gives him a chance — should he be near or farsighted — to suggest a seat that is closer or farther away. Q. Just what are the purposes of a dinner napkin? A. To wipe the mouth before drinking from the water glass, so that the glass may not be smeared. Also, to wipe the fingers. Q. What is the tee a woman is supposed to give the maid who helps her in a public dressing or powder room? A. Not less than twenty.five cents.

i time 1 did some sitting and think- > ing. Every time I’ve tried lately, , I've gone to sleep." "Well, go nave a lovely pap, darling," Ellen whispered. “I'll 1 only be a couple of hours. I think." I walked with her to the main ! staircase and stayed there as she ran down to join Doc Riggs on the gangplank. She waa wearing a dark plaid suit, a regimental plaid in solid blue and green with cross bars of yellow and white. Very subdued, but somehow gay. It was nice to see on her, especially, the wide swirling skirt that whipped as she moved. She nad Doo Riggs loaded down with naif a dozen assorted leather cases, but he looked happy. Ano Ellen, 1 thought, looked magnificent. 1 went up to my room and my feet were dragging. The night-time curtains in my room were still drawn tightly and . 1 didn’t touch them. I dropped my heavy coat on the bed. pulled a deep chair close to the smoking ' stand and sat there, twisting slightly so that my left arm rested against the padded chair. , 1 took out every fact that 1 knew about Stewart and went over them all in my mind, taking my time and making sure 1 nad everything in balance, not shaded by ; the way I felt, but remembering events just the way they happened. Stewart waa an amateur, • onetime snatcher. But the getaway - was slick; too slick. He must have ’ had help. ' What did I have? A helper who , greased Stewart’s 1 getaway, planned the details that would take : Stewart safely out of the country. ' Next, an unknown on the Dixie Dandy who had clouted Russell and also had probably left a warning for me to get off the boat. And 1 the hijacker, one or more. I tried to relax. If 1 carried this > on much further, I’d have every , one of the 200 passengers on the i boat involved somehow with Stew- . art. 1 smoked a clgaret through and then went back to it. None of my outline waa too far- ; fetched. Maybe one or two of the j three unknown people would overlap. Maybe the helper waa the ! same person who clouted Russell, i In fact, there was no reason why . he couldn’t also be the hijacker, U . there waa ona So It could still . be just one man, after all, though , that didn’t seem too likely. Tomorrow we would be In New Orleans. And Capt Grodnik would 1 be there, surrounded by the FBI and the local cops. If 1 bad some- ! thing to offer them, maybe I could keep my toot inside the door, have -a part at least in tripping up Stew--1 art. That would be good enough for ma But with no Ideas, with nothing to contribute, I’d be frozen - out and that would be the end ot Carney Wilde, inc.
