There's No Such Thing As Ptomaine Poisoning!

ty HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.D. CERTAIN foods are poisonous by their own nature. Scores of deathshave been blamed through the yean on ptomaine poisoning. There is no such thing really as ptomaine poisoning. In the past it was attributed alike to food decay or to the chemicals contained in food. However, today we find that many of these deaths were actually due to certain bacteria known as the Staphylococcus germs. The naturally poisonous foods are not too numerous but they can; cause a lot of trouble. Foods that may be tojdc even when fresh are certain types of musltrooms, certain shell fish, and several species of other fish, IS n rrs m 3 B"k — — Acaaonrau roisoning Sometimes certain substances which in themselves are poisonous are added to food.

Murphy, has been named official censor of the comic book industry. He has been appointed by the newly-formed Comic Magazine Association of America, a group of publishers ■who have pledged themselves to clean up their own industry. Members of the association have already agreed to ban publication of horror and terror comics. This Is encouraging. An industry can always do the best job of sweeping up its own dirt and can often do the job without the danger that censorship from the outside can bring. But if the idea of making comic books respectable is to have any success it will have to have the co-operation of all publishers. If that co-opera-tion is not forthcoming, and if the membership of the new association cannot compel co-opera-tion. the effort may fail. Comic books are not the sole 1 cause of juvenile delinquency and it is possible to argue that they are not one of the main causes. But too many coratc books are in extremely bad taste, are unwholesome and tend to spotlight that which Is base and undesirable in human behavior. Parents have a right to be concerned about what their children read. The comic book industry will be doing itself * a good turn if It drives undesirable publications from the tnarket.

CHAPTER TWENTY SEVEN PENN lay, quivering, racked with a tumult of emotions. Was it love—this wanting nim near, listening, waiting, these awful lonely nights? Had it always been love ior Marsh, with her—was that why she nad had such disturbed concern over that Nichols-Storey affair —and now she knew! Now she remembered sharply, Uncle Elihu telling her that drab, sordid story on the plane. “I have tb see the kind of man 1 am,” he had said. Bright outside, hollow inside. There had been blood! She had seen it, in that brief Instant before unconsciousness. It was ail confused, it was all misery. Marsh—and then GJL But Gil was dead. That was what lay behind Kelly's evading eyes. They all knew, they were all in conspiracy to tell her fairy talcs, lecture her into quiescence—even Marsh! Kelly did not come the next day, nor the next. Then on the third night Kelly returned and Marsh was with her. They stood on either side ot the bed and while Marsh rubbed Penn's wrist gently with his strong brown fingers, Kelly talked. “The doctor says you’re strong enough to know now, Penn.” Uncle Elihu was dead. Kelly explained. “When the plane keeled over a scat broke loose across from you and fell on both of you. TJiat's how you got the concussion, but Dad Storey got pushed through the window, a splinter ot glass pierced an artery.” “He was dead when we got him out. 1 helped move him.” Marsh added, “We worked on him—but it was no use.” •| Aunt Maude, Claudia, Quincy and Uregg nad gone west with Uncle Elihu, back to that prairie town, back to the snow-covered land he had loved and been born in and never left in his heart. "They adjourned the Senate and sent four senators with the body," Kelly went’ on. "Maude will be back Monday, 1 think. Uncle George is out at the house with Rule now, and they told me to look after you.” "You didn’t come, Kelly. You Ildn't come yesterday." "Doctor'a orders. He said I uplet you.” "Gil?” Penn spoke his name timidly, dreading revelation. "On secret maneuvers, they laid, he couldn't get home.” "You’ve heard? You know he’s au nahtf- F

"1 don't Know if Mau a e nas heard or not. I’m staying m town, as 1 told you. The weather has been rough—some days the buses were hours late and I do have to work, Penn.” Penn eried softly, and Marsh dried her eyes with a piece of gauze that smelled druggy. ’Tough, honey," he said. “But you had to know some time." ’They'll forget everything now," Kelly said, with a tinge of bitterness. "Death makes all men noble. They will all forget that a little while ago they were ready to crucify him." Penn whispered: Goodby, Uncle Elihu. I loved you. I’ll love you always." She lifted her head. “You loved him, too, Kelly.” “Yes, 1 loved him. I’ve been so fighting mad for weeks that now I’m limp with it.” Penn looked at Marsh. “You don’t hate mm now?" “I stopped hating him a long time ago,” he answered. "Now I have to run. You’ll stay with her, Mrs. Storey?" "As long as they’ll let me." Marsh stooped over the bed suddenly and kiased Penn on the mouth. “Chin up, sweet,” he said, and was gone. • • • The days went by. Penn was allowed to sit propped up m tter bed, to read and have solid food. She could go home at the end ot the week, the doctor said, out she shrank from the thought of going home. There would be an awful emptiness there. , Kelly had found a little house in Alexandria, and the conflict between Kelly and Maude Storey was tossed oaca and forth over Penn s bed. Maude had come back, desolately sunk in net woea and grievances. Gregg had been appointed administrator ot the estate, and Gregg thought there was nothing to do but sell the big house—and, ot course, Malvina was backing him up! Rutherford thought it was an outrage that his mother should be asked u> give up her home! "It will kill me If I have to be moved out ol the home their father bought tor me!" Maude mourned. Penn, thinking about Sara Nichols, who had given up that home, kept silent. "Gregg insists that he’s going to And me a less expensive place to live,” Maude said, “but 1 know what it will be. Some horrible little house in a dreadful locality.” Quincy and Yalea came for

Denies Ultimatum From Guards' Union Veiled Threat From State Prison Union > INDIANAPOLIS (iNSj — me ■ Indiana board of correction said today it has received no ultimatum front a newly-organized guard union threatening a strike. However, Marlin W. Griffith, of Knox, international vice president of the Independent International Guards Union of America, released a letter he sent to correction board chief Hugh O'Brien. 'ln the letter, there was a veiled hint of a strike when Griffith said "guards welcome your (O'Brien's) threat of state police and national guard. But remember you'll receive no warning in\the event of a strikes” Generally, however, the letter was written in a less antagonistic tone and said all differences could be solved with no inconvenience to anyone if “unfair tactics are stopped.” Griffith demanded that the union's chief steward, Chester Williams, be returned to the Indiana state prison from Pendleton where he was ordered "or else” by O’Brien last Monday. The union organizer also contradicted O'Brien’s statements that more money is needed and that isss general assembly action is necessary to improve the guards’ lot. Griffith said he has “documentary proof” that the board got funds to increase guards' pay and joyride a bonus. "'Board member Arthur Campbell said he “doubted” very; much that guards at any of the state’s penal h 1 Buttons would go on strike against* the state and abandon their duties despite the union activity. The union has sought recognition but state officials say Indiana law prevents such action on the part of the correction board. However, as a precautionary measure. Gov. George N. Craig cleared the route for a call-up of the Indiana national guard should any strike by the guards take place.

Drier visits, looking very smug isolated in that peculiar apartness that surrounds people who have decided to be married. They nad put off their wedding until January. Old Mr. Yates wanted them td be married in his house, and, ot course, sighed Quincy, Aunt Maude was raising a row about that! That night, when Marsh Nichols came in, as he usually did some time early in the night, Penn asked him to call Larry Kissel for her. i “He's a newspaperman — he works tor a news bureau. Marsh. He s a friend ot Gll’b, and he might nave some news of him. Aunt Maude is worried till she's almost trantic,” she said, casually omitting any reference to the dread that nad haunted her since that morning late in November. "You want him to come here to see you? I'll see what 1 can do, Penn,” Marsh agreed, "but those news boys are birds of passage—he might be hard to catch.” There had been no more talk ol love between herself and Marsh Nichols, no more kisses. He was gentle, casual, brotherly m bis manner, but the troubling confusion in Penn's mind would not ease. Was it love that made her wait so anxiously for Marsh's hand on the door, his quiet approach to her bed, hia fingers on her wrist? Was love after all a still, peaceful feeling, of being secure, cared tor, at rest? When she had dreamed ol Gil the dreams had been all restlessness and fever. What was real —and how was a girl to know? Would she know the truth about herself when she saw Gil again ? ahe said once, groping her way through ner own uncertainty: "How do you know you’re in love with Yales, Quincy?” and Quincy had had nothing of comfort to offer. , “I don’t know, Penn. I know I’m fond ot him—that I want to be with him, but there's no fire in it, for me. Nor for Yates, either, 1 suspect. Maybe it’s too calm—l don’t know.” Quincy worried a little. "Maybe some day I’ll meet some man who'll thrill me, but that’s a chance I’ve got to take. Kelly says that a quiet approach to marriage is better —that it lasts. She says there was too much storm in her own love affair, that when the fire and thrills died down there was only a kind of patience left so tar as she is concerned, and that patience is about all she has left now.” .
