Take Stock of Health At Start of New Year

ly HE WAN E EJNDESEN, M.D. THERE’S a Nev Year’s resolution I would like all of you to make--and keep. Make up your mind that from now on you #lll have a complete medical examination at least once every year. Neglecting Our Health A great many of us know more about our automobiles than we do about our bodies. We take better care of our cars, too. Don’t wait until you feel 111 before going to the doctor. An evaluation of your health at regular intervals can do much to prevent needless deaths. A Yearly Chock For more than a quarter of a century now, I have been going to the Mayo Clinic at Rochester, Minn., about once a year for a checkup. I didn’t think there was anything wrong with my health, but I wanted to be sure there wasn’t. Maybe you can’t take the time to go to the Mayo Clinic, but.you certainly can go to your family physician. *. Disease Can Start Slowly Many diseases start slowly and Insidiously and we may be unaware ot them. Your doctor may be able to correct these diseases if treatment Is begun early. By making an electrocardiogram tracing he can determine the condition of yfiur heart. He can find out how your heart reacts to exercise, and whether its size U normal. He can test your kidney excretions to see if your kidneys are

the new Salk vaccine for polio. The monkeys had left Delhi Thursday. Sen. Homer Capehart watched their arrival and anannounced he will introduce legislation in the next congress to bring northern Indiana back under the jurisdiction of the U. S. Customs office in the Hoosier capital city. ' l i ■ Six states in the nation enjoyed the Christmas week-end without a traffic fatality according to figures compiled by safety organisations. There were 391 traffic deaths\ in one of the worst week-ends of violent deaths in recent months. Nebraska. New Hamshire, North Dakota, Rhode Island, Vermont and Wyoming were the banner states over the week-end where no fatal traffic mishaps were reported. As long as traffic laws are ignored and as long as people continue to exhibit a disregard for their own lives and the lives of others, we will have these sickening incidents. The sad but true fact is that almost all of them could be avoided. $ O►— Lewis L. Smith, prosecuting attorney, will be the county’s first prosecutor to serve a four-year term under the amended Indiana constitution and. he will start that term next Saturday morning. Smith is completing a two-year term this week during which time he has produced a splendid record of achievement. Having carried the responsibilities of that poet in such a . fashion that he was not opposed tn either the Primary or General election. Prosecutor Smith has the confidence and support of almost every citizen of the county. He has performed his task well and carried out his oath of office without showing favor. The rb«d ahead has been made easy by the which he has built ~ up in his first term. He has no favorites and as a result of this ■ £ ‘ policy the statutes of the state and city are not abused by anyone in Adams county. The Prosecutor has a good legal background being the grandson of the late Clark J. Luts, one of northern Indiana's all time greats in the legal profession.

working as they should. He can also get an indication of how your kidneys are functioning by determining the amounts of various substances in the Mood. Special Teets He can make special tests to see If your liver is, working properly. He can take your blood pressure, and make other tests to determine whether your circulation is operating efficiently. He can search for infection in your teeth, tonsils, nasal sinuses and, if you are a man, in your prostate gland. Additional Considerations By carefully considering any complaints which you may have, he can decide whether additional X-rays and laboratory studies are required. Through' this health audit, your doctor can determine whether you need a special diet, whether you need more vitamins and minerals, whether you should exercise more or less, and whether you should have extra periods of relaxation. If any specific medical or surgical treatment is needed, he’ll discover that, too. Making Life Worthwhile With all the modern methods at our disposal we doctors can do a great deal to recondition a person and, in this way, not only add years to his life, but continuing life to his years. QUKBTION AND ANSWER N. M.; Is peeling of the lips a symptom of venereal disease? Answer: This ordinarily is not ! dus to venereal infection. .

SYNOPSIS While photographing a hawk migration la. UMk jnasatalaa .AL . Wast Virginia. ace professional lansman. Charles Gratton, learns that some one to flying aa eagle a grave infraction of iocai game laws, Be explores the ledge where he has seen an eagle in flight and cornea upon a decadent mansion now occupied by one Anson Metraif and his sister, Dana, both expert falconers. CHAPTER EIGHT IT WAS an urn-ahaped piece of wood about twice aa large as an eggplant, streaked with droppings, stuck vertically tn the ground on a peg. The girl took the hooded falcon from her fist. There was a tinkling sound as she set him on the flat top of the block, where his enormous yellow feet with their dark talons curving like a surgeons needles grasped it as if he were perched atop a big lotus blossom. I saw that he had tiny brass bells on tits legs. There were leather thongs around ,each ankle and these were attached to the snap swivel of a leash the girl had been holding. Without unfastening any of them, she tied the other end of the leash to a ring anchored to a hoop around the perching block. Once there, the falcon waited patiently. The girl removed the glove from her left hand, which ’ was less tanned than the right, ; and untied the laces ot his hood < and took it off as gently as if she were removing a baby’s bonnet. The hawk blinsed his dark eyes a few times and ruffled his feathers with a rattling sound that somehow gave hun a contented air. With ms hood off he was s honey. He fixed me with his dark brown eye set in a light circle, seeing in me -something strange to his world. 1 noticed that his upper beak was notched near the dark end as it the sharp point had been honed down even sharper. His slaty head Was wide and his face had markings like black mustachlos that drooped down troin his cneeks. The buff throat patch extended well back behind the ears like a napkin tied around his nets with his mustaches hanging down over. It gave turn the appearanceat a trencherman all set tor a teasL His back and wings were slaty gray and his undcrparis were mottled with black or Van Dyke brown markings, shading from the unmarked butt throat and breast to the barred "pants” on his legs. “That beak looks vicious,” 1 said. , “They never use their beaks to strike,” the girl said tn her low voice, “but don't get near his talons.” . She was making soothing sounds at him that I found strangely taecinating myself. Kneeling here beside the girl. It was unreal, it wasn’t in this day or age, The muntclhgbie cooing words were doing their work on me as much as on the hawk. There was something hypnotic about it, also something wrong. Then 1 e realized 1 had a feeling one syas watching us. On the lowest level Os the rear

Lt he had growled I'd have felt a lit-j tie better bill he just crouched there, black as death and perfectly motionless. It was the giri's re-, action as much as the Doberman's attitude that got me. She didn't turn her face but her whisper reached me—Don't move —and then to the Doberman: "Luger, doift you dare.” It was a command as loud and firm as she could make it but I could see it run off the dog' like a drop of water. His shining muscles bunched but he stayed there, cocked, the long chestnut-colored muzzle pointing at me like a gun. The girl started talking toward him, slowly, carefully, like an attendant approaching a demented patient that has got loose. 1 kept my eyes fastened on the dog's and felt the girl getting closer to him. At the edge of the porch her hand went down with painful slownesrf and the fingers slid under the choker chain around his neck. That did it. His lunge brought her off the porch but she stuck to hun. 1 started toward them. “Stay back. He'U lull you.” From tiie looks ot him 1 believed her. He was on his haunches now with his torepaws off the ground, leaning against the chain collar and snarling with a gurgling, strangled sound through a row ot teeth like a log saw. “Luger. No.” She pulled at the collar with both hands and managed to drag him, ms nails scratching across the porch floor boards, toward a door. She got it open and forced him in. As she slammed it shut she muttered, "Black devil” at the outside panels ot the door. ", - 4 She came toward me, looKtng at her hands. 1 saw that the chain had torn the skin on two ot her fingers and they were bleeding. I reached out and took her hand. "Sorry 1 caused you to get hurt,” I said. “You were very brave." ~ She drew her hand away from me and sucked the wound. "Shouldn’t you put something on that ?” 1 asked. She shook her head and frowned. “He won’t obey me.” “He’s your dog ?” “He’s Brother's.” "Did he name him Luger ?" She nodded, sucking her hand, and turned to the falcon. It had evidently been frightened off its perching block during the excitement Now it cowered as tar away -aa the leash would reach. She crossed to the bird in a few Strides. “That devil's made him bate. If he’s broken any pinions I’U . . “Made him what?" “Bate. Dive off his block.” She knelt do w‘n wilh the strange

Where can we get some sunlight?” “1 was going to exercise him in the orchard.” \ t? “Fine,” 1 said. “He probably won’t do well, jupset like this but I'll try.” "Swell," 1 said.' "But before we go, is your brother home?” “Yea" "I’d like to meet him.” She looked as it I’u asked to see Elizabeth U at 7.45 m inj. , tu have to find ouFii he’ll »ce you.” bae went into the house through the same door sued used tor toe voberuian. 1 walked around the hooded hawk and hoped 1 wouldn't see any more ot Luger, ever. 1 lit a smoke. There were several o.aud outbuildings on the slope auove tne house, back toward the lane. In the other direction, 1 could see where the driveway curved around and went on through the trees._„ It seemed to be taking her brother long enouga to inane up his mind. 1 looked up at the sman paned windows and wondered which part ot the house he was in. After a while she came out and closed the door behind her. regrets luat tie will be unable to meet you this morning." It sounded so polite 1 nad tne the feeling 1 was being shown oil the place.

Some hysterical white hf n s flapped oft'the window suls as we approached, disappearing into the dusty gloom inside. In a runway attached to the second building several large pink-eyed albino rabbits came to the wire and twitched their noses inquiringly. It was nice to find something around this place that wasn't a bunch ot nerves. “Do you keep ypur falcon in one of these pens?” She looked annoyed but all she said was “No.” 1 had to walk faster to keep up with her. I couldn't see why my secmg some rabbits and chickens should upset her but ts she didn't want to talk about ti}cm 1 wasn't going to make her. (To Bo Continued J
