Symptons of Anemia

By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.D. MANY people are functioning below their best level because they are living with the disorder known as anemia. It is a disease with a seriously decreased amount of hemoglobin, an iron containing pigment, tn the blood; there may also be a lack of the red blood cells that carry the hemoglobin. Varioua Causes Anemia can be caused by many things. One of the common causes is probably blood loss, such as may occur with bleeding ulcers or bleeding tram the bowel orfemale organs. However, anemia may quite often also be due to an insufficient production of the red blood cells and hemoglobin. This may be caused In turn by lack in the diet of certain factors necessary for the proper production of blood. At Umee some tumors and Kwths may prevent proper »d production. i Wazninff .

He served in the Roosevelt cabinet and hpld other high posts in the government .including ambassadorships and head of the Mutual Security Administration. He is a man of vast business experience. The convention will name a gubernatorial nominee Wednesday and Harriman’s nomination is opposed by Franklin D. Roosevelt Jr, who served a couple terms in congress. New York party leaders believe they can elect Harriman |n November. : —-0 e Bluffton's free street fair is scheduled to open tonight and elaborate plans have been made for staging the annual community exposition, which had its beginning in 1898. However, enthusiasm has been dampened with Gov. Craig's order that tents and stands shall not be erected ou streets over which state routes pase. As a result, a large tent was ordered moved from Market street, route of state highway 124 and state police have been assigned to see that orders are enforced. Mayor Robbins and Bluffton citizens are cooperating with the law and hope to avert a runin with the state house bosses. Bluffton's street fair is one of the most outstanding festival and agricultural expositions in the country. The 1953 state law which prohibits use of state route streets for expositions may kill the old fashioned street fair.

CHAPTER TWENTY MARSH came in pulling off wet gloves. His faded corduroy pants were soaked to the knees. “Snow’s wet aid heavy already. I’ll have to change clothes. Be down in a minute.” “Will tt «ock the road? Hadn't I better leave right away?" Penn asked uneasily looking M the whirling whiteness outside. "Goodnens no, it’s not that urgent.” dismissed Mrs. Nichols. "You just got here. Marsh must get some chains. He had some but they rusted out completely while he was in the army.” There was a time last year,” Penn worried, when my uncle couldn't get home from Washington for three days. The buses couldn't run.” "But not in November!” Mrs. Nichols was serenely unconcerned. “That was m dead of winter, I remember. I’d just had a pig killed and it froze solid, hanging in the woodhouse. It made wonderful sausage. Do have another cake, my dear." When Marsh came down he had donned some old army pants and stuffed the legs into high, laced boots. He would not sit down though his mother insisted. “I hate to break up a party, but I think we'd better go,” he said. Til turn the car around, Miss Houk. I shovelled a clear space so you won’t get your feet wet” "But she will!" protested his mother. “Walk on your heels, my dear—and I do thank you for coming.” “I’ve had a lovely time.” Penn pressed the ttiin, hot hand. Til come again if you invite me.” “Don’t wait for that. You drive over soon. I get lonely, (though I never let Marsh know it,” she finished wistfully.. The old car roared, spun, skidded and finally floundered out to the road, now Lying ievelly white, unmsaked, beautifully clean. "If we can make the store, I’ll borrow some chains,” Marsh said, as he steered expertly -through the deepening whiteness at slow speed. “My trouble is, I’ve never been able to say no to my mother. No matter how impractical a thing is that she wants, I have to try to get it I hope I haven't got you into a bad spot, humoring her today.” "Too bad it had to spoil your mother s little party. I like her very much.” "She likes you. I suppose you know why?” he was blunt * “Should I? Is there seme special reason?” “I'm the reason. She weaves her little plots very transparently. I'm a cyme, I'm antisocial, I need help and you’re supposed to be the antidote for what ails me.” “So she prepared a table before me in the presence of mine enemy," quoted Penn, “and you’re unhappy about It” "No—not unhappy exactly.” "So I'm not entirely obnoxious? Thank you vdry much.” "I never said you were obnoxloua I merely said you were part of something I wanted to forget Storey, all that. Anyway, it’s fuULa. No place in my plans for

I still have enough left to feel—well, cheated, once in a while," he finished iamety. ~~ — "At any rate,” said Penn aloofly, "put me down as merely liking your mother." The motor roared suddenly, smoked and struggled, but thd rear wheels spun ineffectually, with no forward motion. Slowly the car slid sideways till a fender clunked against a post that upheld a snow-bonneted mail box. “We seem,” said Penn, “to be stuck.” He opened the door. "You can drive. I brought along a shovel. Slide over here and give her the gun when I tell you—but not till 1 tell you,” Digging and skidding, a few feet at a time, they reached the store as dusk fen. Wearily the car slid into a gas pump, gasped and died. Marsh ran into the store, came out running. The mailman has chains on his car. Mind if he runs you home ?*’ ..... i.. “Os course not, if the mailman doesn’t mind,” Penn said. But how will you get home?” “Oh, I can walk. Miss Houk. Sorry it turned out this way.” Penn was cold, tired and vaguely angry for no sensible reason; when she reached the Storey house. Quincy met her with obvious relict ’1 was beginning to think Pd be snowbound out here alone all night Well, did he succumb to your charms? He looks very military, even in those cowbarn clothes—also he looked definitely invulnerable.” “I didn't try any charming. Anyway, it would have been useless. He lets you know firmly and immediately that women have ao place in his life.” “I’ve heard that line before. It’s purely defensive, as you'd know if you weren't such an innocent where men are concerned. Fenn—ho ten--” she flew to the library and turned the radio high.

This was what they had dreaded, for years—all the Storeys. The knock had sounded on the door. Quincy could not stand the house any longer. Aunt Maude had come home late in a taxi the night before, through the deep snow. Come home with a face like doom,. and resisting all efforts to comfort her. Elihu had not come. He could not Maude explained, risk being marooned at home whan the conunit-

tee of the House convened in the morning. "I can't bear it!" Maude wailed, “to be discredited —to, be the object of suspicion—when all he did was try to do the best for everybody—for his state and everything!" ■ “They can’t hurt him," Quincy argued now, without much conviction. Penn said nothing at all, and her careful silence angered Quincy more than Aunt Maude’s hysterica “You know he’s entirely innocent,” Quincy flared at her sister. “We hope the committee will believe that,” was all Penn had to say. ! "I’m getting out of here. I’ve finally decided to go to town and get a job,” Quincy stormed. Penn looked up from brushing her hair. "If you take our car you’ll leave Aunt Maude and me out here with no transportation,” she reminded her. “Then I’ll ride the bus. I’m going to leave right now. I want to get an early start" “An early start for what ?" “For my career. I’m having one, as 1 told you. Some kind of a Job. And listen,” she closed the door carefully, "don’t mention it to Aunt Maude." "Aunt Maude won’t leave the radio —and Uncle Elihu has his own troubles," Penn reminded her. “What sort of a job can you get anyway?" “I can work in a store. Or model or something. When I do get to work I'm going to have my own place in town. Maybe I’U work in a tearoom." “You couldn't afford a place in town on the pay you’d get in a tearoom. You'd have to share with some other girls and you'd hate that." “I’ve got some prospects written down." Quincy dug a little book out of her puree. I’ve been copying them out of the papers ever since Aunt Maude talked about bringing Rufe out here. You'd better come along with me. You could find something, too, and we could get a little apartment." Penn shook her head. “I promised GU to stand by Uncle Elihu. Gil was worried about this situation when he left." “It will be grisly here if they bring Rufe out, Penn. You couldn't stand it. Why didn't Gil stand by himself? He asked for that foul duty he got; he wasn't ordered to take it." “QU wasn’t running away. He knew what he had to do." "Wasn't he? I think he was. Running away from a lot of' things. You may be biindod by family loyalty, but I'm not. Winnie was two-timing Gil, and he, knew it. They weren't getting along." Quincy pvt her little book back into her purse, snapped it shut, gave her hair a smoothing slap and pulled on a scrap of hat. “Well, I’m off, If I’m not back by dark tell them to look behind the pots and pans in Woolworth's basement. I might be there," (To Be

CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE 4 QUINCY walked three blocks from the bus t« rmi na 1 and splurged on a nuge breakfast Then, armed with hej JUttle book, she began her assault upon an unsuspecting business world by first bearding an iron-jawed personnel director in an office. “Your name? Age? Experience?" Five times before noon she had filled out forms, admitting that she had no experience, seen her name put on waiting lists, been briskly dismissed. By that time she was hungry again and her money was down to 60 cents. She had to have bus fare home. So Yates Underwood, she decided, should have the privilege of buying her lunch, ft was six blocks to his office building and her heels were throbbing when she finally reached it. When Yates finally came down he greeted her very casually, with no special eagerness or pleasure. “You’re taking me to lunch,” Quincy informed him, taking his arm. "Aren't you pleased?" He stood still, shifting his briefcase back and forth, nervously. "Quincy, I’d like to, but the thing is, 1 have to go home to lunch today. The old gentleman’s not very well and he’s supposed to v take some medicine at 1 o’clock and the housekeeper can’t make him take it. I’m the only one who can manage him." | “Oh, well," Quincy tossed her head, “1 can always get a sandwich at the drug store." I “You’d have to stand in line at this time of day. I’ll tell you, you come along home to lunch with me. You've never met my grandfather. You might like each other." "He wouldn't, Yates. He’d hate me on sight." "You’re prejudiced. You don’t know him at all.” "I know he hates Uncle Elihu -and now with this mess in Congress—that foul committee—he'd probably gloat.” “Grandfather fights everybody. He wants to feel powerful still, that’s all. And important people do listen to hinj.” “All right. I’ll agree that Mr. Yates is still a powerful old man ruling Washington from his park bench or in his wheelchair, whichever it is, but he’s a nasty old man and I don’t feel like being a maiden of sacrifice.” “You might be a maiden missionary. You could turn on the sweetness and light You do that pretty well when you're in the mood.” , Quincy considered this. “You might do sopte good -for us," he suggested. - "What do you mean—for us?" she flashed back. "Why," he fidgeted, flushed, “for you and me." i "And what about you and me?" 1 "You’re coming home with me." Abruptly Yates turned masterful. "Shut up and come along." | “At least I'm ’’not going to

Relates Success Story Os Native Os County

Another success story of a man born in Adams county is told in the Pittsburgh Press and the McKeesport, Pa., Daily News. / He is Dale W. Shackley, son of Mr. and Mrs. 3. K. Shackley of Bryan, Ohio, and a brother of Mrs. Carl H. Frey of Decatur R. R. 5. He was born in Blue Creek township. ■ Now the superintendent of communications for the Pittsburgh* & Lake Erie railroad, with offices in Pittsburgh, Shackley is co-inventor of a remote control device that will start up a diesel locomotive engine simply by dialing a telephone number. His fellow inventor is James J .Wright, manager of equipment. Shackley joined the New York Central system of which the PALE is a subsidiary in Indianapolis in 1942. He was promoted to telegraph and telephone instructor in 1946 and became a telephone engineer at Boston in 1952. He was promoted to supervisor of communications there the following year and was transferred to communications. Called the electrical supervisory system tor switching locomotives, the invention of the two men has been nicknamed D-A-D for “Dial-A-Diesel.” Briefly, it works this way, the inventors told the business editor of the Pittsburgh Press: Beside each track where engines are to be left When out of service, there is a wayside relaybox or plug-in station From, the station a cable is run to a receptacle on each locomotive, as telephone switchboard jacks. Each engine’s electrical circuit is so arranged that relays from the plug-in station enable it to close its own starting contact. it’s also equipped with “a temperature relay system to indicate when water temperature reaches a pre-set low (50 degrees in the P&LE's case, or a preset of 150 degrees). At either temperature, the system causes a bell (or buster) on the locomotive to sound. This sound is transmitted to the central control station in McKees Rocks by a telephone mouthpiece on the engine. At the control station, a bell rings and a light flashes, indicating that an engine at a particular location needs attention. With thia.

walk!” sne declared. "I've walked miles this morning hunting a job.” “All right, we’ll get a cab if we can snag one." Yates stepped to the curb and whistled. “What's this about a job?” he demanded, when they were in a car at last. “I’m going to work. Later, I'm going to have my own apartment.’’ Quincy spoke firmly, rather enjoying Yates’ domineering attitude. "Over my dead body you’re going to get an apartment. Anyway, you’d never find one in Washington.” • • • Quincy's heart sank a little, looking at the tall, narrow house. It stood between a big apartment hotel and an ornate publishing house, holding its own against the intrusion of business as defiantly as old Myron Yates held his influence and power against more powerful, younger forces surging up about him. The house was of brown brick, four stories high, with green shutters and a tiny width of lawn in front guarded by an iron fence. The heavy door had a huge brass knocker, but Yates produced a key and gallantly escorted Quincy into a dim, narrow hall. A heavy male voice shouted instantly from the room on the right. “Who’s that with you?" Yates pushed open the door that opened on a book-lined room, very brown and dusky. A coal fire flickered in a little grate and before it sat an old man, sunk in a deep chair, a knitted afghan over nis knees. "A pretty girl, grandfather." Yates said. "This is Quincy Houk. She’s having lunch with us.” Quincy said: “How do you do, Mr. Yates? I was kidnaped. This is all Yates' idea.” “Full of ideas,” snapped the old man, looking her over through enormous dark-rimmed spectacles. “Well, take your ypung lady’s coat, Yates, and fetch her a chair. Tell the old iady out there to put on another plate. I—" he studied Quincy hard, "remember you now. One of Elihu Storey's nieces." "Yes, sir." "Two of you. Can’t tell ’em apart.’ "I can.” Yates was trying for nonchalance. “I came home to sec that you took your pills, sir. Otherwise, Quincy and I would have had lunch in town.” “Bullies me," grumbled old Myron when Yates had gone out. “Bullies me all the time.” Then his eyes winked. ~ “Why the devil,” he raised his voice as Yates returned, "do 1 have to swallow this stuff? Doesn't do me a bit of good. No good at all.” “Do 1 hold your nose or do you take it properly?" asked Yates, grinning. “Can’t fight with ladies present." The old man gulped down the pill, making a great fuss about it. "What's for lunch? I’m having mine at the table. I'm not mincing off any tray in here." “Smells like roast. Shall I help you up, str?” “You shall not, air. I can still

the control operator dials certain codes. He first hoars the fuel pump start and then the engine crank, if the alarm came from an idle engine. Or he can dial another code to shut off the overheated engine. . . Also, should the engine not be running right, be edn shut it off at any water temperature. Another control enables him to shut the engine off so it cannot be started from the control center; but requires an inspector to start it at the scene. If anyone disconnects the plug at the engine receptacle, that fact is automatically signalled to the control center operator and he can take necessary protective steps at once. Where a dial system is not available, the control center operator will contact the switchboard operator, asking for the various codes for whatever he may wish to do. On one telephone circuit, 138 diesel units can be controlled. Prevention of freezing has been a major problem with diesel locomotives at outlying points. Dieeels carry varying amounts of water. Ln testa, PALE diesels have been ' started by telephone as tar away as New York, although distance means nothing in the operation of D-A-D. ' | One Man Killed As Auto Hits Abutment NASHVILLE, Ind.

Just because X wtoeese • little.” “You wtoeeae too doggone much. Turning cold outside,” Yates said. "Yos stay by the fire. I don't want to find you sitting out there on aay park benches.” "See?" Old Myron gave Quincy’s arm a fatherly pinch, standing aside to let her enter the diningroom first. “See what I mean? I told you he was hard to live with. Ever slap you around?” "Certainly not." "Don’t give him a chance then," he chuckled. A colored man in a stiff white coat pulled out the chairs, bowing to Quincy. The napkins were big and crisp and shining. The china was beautiful and fragile. The hot soup, that was brought in in little individual tureens with tricky handles, had mushrooms and sonic kind of shellfish, well minced, floating in it When a great, pink slab of roast meat flanked by a bursting hot potato and long spears of asparagus, dripping butter, was put before her. Quincy was glad that she was hungry. "If that was lunch, pray tell me what dinner is like at the Yates* house," she said to Yates as they walked back toward town. •That,” he said, "is the daily meal. Eaten, as the old gentleman frequenUy orates, when you have energy to digest it For supper he’ll have buttermilk and crackers, and there'll be some cold remains set out on a plate for me. He like! you, though. 1 should have taken you there long ago.” "Why?" she asked bluntly. “Why—" he floundered. "Why because you're the one—you’re my girl, aren’t you?” "Am I ? I haven’t decided yet" “But—gee whiz, you must have known—” His flushed, unhappy face almost moved her to laughter. This was it. This was where she twisted Yates around her little Anger. "Am I receiving a proposal, right here on 16th St.? In broad daylight ?** An unresponsive chill came over his face. The gaiety wtthin her died, touched by the cold finger of caution. “If you’re laughing st me—" he began almost fiercely, gripping her by her elbows. "But Im not—Taft art really. I'm sorry. I’m just slightly breathless. And you needn't answer my question. It was stupid, anyway. Sonic other time—” His hands dropped, he looked quenched and unhappy. "Why do I always get off on the wrong foot with you. anyway?" he demanded. “All right— some .other time we ll talk about it." “ Quincy tingled with tired fury all the way homc>on the bus. Her heels ached and her heart hurt and her mind was confused with odd, mixed-up angers. She had done everything all wrong again. (To Be Continued)
