Why, kings and queens have had adventures, and so have doctors, lawyers, cab drivers and preachers. 1 , Today I've got a yarn from & dentist Dr. Robert Lentz of Danville, 111. , This adventure happened to Doc along about the summer of 1912 and in those days he was living in Williamson county coun-ty near Wolf Creek, 111. That's down near the Ozark ridges, and in 1912 there was some pretty lonely country in that neighborhood. Ddc knew, because he used to ride through some of it pretty regularly. He was courting a girl who lived about five miles from his home and he used to ride out there on horseback, along a winding road that was almost impassable in places because oi the thick growth on either side. That road led down into a place known as Big Grassy Creek bottom, and that bottom was midway between his home and his girl's house. There was a ford across the creek, and near the ford, an old tumble-town tumble-town church that hadn't been used for upwards of 50 years. Woman Burned to Death in Bygone Days. Near the church was an old chimney all that was left of a house that people told strange stories about. According to one tale a woman had been burned to death when that house took fire. There was something eerie about the old church and the old chimney. Doc used to feel shivery when he passed them riding borne at two o'clock in the morning. But one night he made the mistake of going into that church, and then-It then-It was one dark night when Doc was coming back from a date. ' It had started to rain just after he left a thin drizzle at first But, as he rode along, he heard the rumble of thunder and the rain began coming down harder. He had reached the bottom then, and the 5 1 .!""'. I It was a human form of some sort, standing there with arms outstretched. t church would afford shelter of a sort. Doc tied his horse to a sapling, sap-ling, and plunged through the underbrush to the door. The church was all but fallen down. It leaned over crazily to one side as if it had been pushed over by some giant hand into a great parallelogram. paral-lelogram. The windows were out and the floor was partly gone, but guided by intermittent flashes of lightning, Doc worked his way forward to a point near the rostrum, where the roof was good and the rain didn't come through. The rain didn't show any signs of letting up, so Doc lay down on a front bench to go to sleep. Hunch Makes Him Stay Awake. "I lay there about 15 minutes," he said, "when something caused me to open my eyes and look at the doorway at the other end of the church. Lightning flashed Just then flashed Just enough to enable me to see dimly through the door. Something told me to stay awake and, with sleepy eyes I gazed at that door inspecting it each time the lightning would permit me. "I heard a twig break outside, and could tell that my horse was uneasy. I felt the hair rise on the back of my neck, and my heart began to beat faster. It seemed that it would be hours before the lightning flashed again to tell me what might be there, and in the meantime I straightened up just as quietly as 1 could." And along about then there entered Doc's mind the thought that this old church might be haunted. There was that old chimney charred remnant of the house in which a woman had burned to death. And as 1 that wasn't enough, Doc began thinking of the countless people who jnust have been buried from that old church whose bodies must have am in their pine coffins before that same rostrum near which he as i lying now- Those thoughts were running through Doc's mind then, suddenly, lightning flashed again. And this time Doc saw something In the doorway. It was a human wnn of some sort, standing there with arms outstretched, touching both "des of the door. "Now," says Doc, "I wanted to make my exit. I e.gan to Se ready to do so, but how was I going to go about it? The aiy door was blocked, and the windows wer too high up. I waited ously for the next flash of lightning.

TODAY'S HEALTH COLUMN Dr. Barton Science Finds Possible Cure For Catarrh By DR. JAMES W. BARTON ONE of the meanest ailments ail-ments with which mankind man-kind is afflicted is ozaena, or the dry form of catarrh. In addition to the catarrhal symptoms, there is a most offensive odor which makes it almost impossible for these patients to mix with other people. In 1937 Drs. Hector Mortimer, R. Percy Wright and J. B. Collip in an investigation of this ailment reported report-ed their findings in the Canadian Medical Medi-cal Association Journal Jour-nal They were able to show that this ailment ail-ment was due to an inherited constitution constitu-tion just as in the case of sufferers with hay fever and some other ailments. That there is a relation re-lation between the genital or sex organs and the nose has been known for years and by the use of hormones (estrogen) these research physicians were able to help a number of these ozaena patients pa-tients by putting this substance up the nose. As catarrh of the nose and throat is believed to be the commonest cause of deafness, the above named research physicians and Dr. D. L. Thomson now report in the .Canadian .Canadi-an Medical Association Journal the successful treatment of a number of cases of constitutional- deafness by the application of these sex hormone hor-mone substances up the nose. Find Constitutional Cause. "The series investigated consists of 153 patients, of whom 94 are "females "fe-males and 59 males. The average age of the females is 37 years, the youngest 11 years of age and the oldest 74; in the males, average age is 38, youngest 9 and the oldest 76." It was found that not only may the two conditions ozaena and deafness be present in the same individual, but in one generation of the family ozaena may be found in certain members, whilst others have defective defec-tive hearing. The two points we get from this research work is (a) that there seems to be a constitutional condition condi-tion present that makes these individuals indi-viduals likely to have ozaena or deafness or both, and (b) this very fact makes it possible for the same method of treatment estrogen applied ap-plied to the lining of the nose to greatly help both conditions. Notwithstanding these findings, these research workers state that they do not suggest that constitutional constitu-tional deafness is due to any lack of gland substance in the individual Waste Poisons Cause Biliousness A physician called to visit a patient pa-tient who had a "bilious" attack left this carting warning. "Remem ber, now, no food for 48 hours." The patient, promptly replied, "Don't worry about food, I don't want to ever see food any more." This distaste for food is just one more of nature's little ways of guarding us when we are sick. While food liquid, soft, or solid is now given regularly in many ailments, in the treatment of biliousness it is still considered wise to withhold food for 36 to 48 hours. "The symptoms of a so-called bilious bil-ious attack may come on more or less acutely. There is a feeling of mental depression, giddiness, headache, head-ache, nausea or vomiting, loss of appetite or actual repulsion of food, spots floating before the eyes or other disturbance of vision, and a feeling of tiredness and no desire for mental or physical work." While some of these bilious attacks at-tacks are due, to nervousness or emotional upsetments, most of them are due to poisons in the blood from wastes that should have been filtered fil-tered out by the liver or thrown out by the boweL Chronic infection of the teeth, tonsils, gall bladder, sinus, si-nus, or other organs may gradually pile up enough poisonous material or wastes to bring on an attack. After this "explosive" attack which may rid the system of some of the waste or poison products, the patient may feel considerably better. Food Not Digested. "Imperfectly digested food which has undergone putrefaction in the bowel or poisonous material allowed to remain too long in the bowel (constipation) may be the cause." Thus the condition may readily follow a badly digested meal The first thought in the treatment of an attack is to avoid solid food for 24 to 48 hours, using sweetened water or fruit juices to maintain fluids in the system. The old-fashioned remedy of a grain of calomel followed by a dose of salts is still good treatment. The constant thought should be to try to avoid these attacks by eating eat-ing less rich food, or eating four small meals instead of three large meals, and not eating at all or very lightly when under nervous strain or an emotional upset.

I Look Pretty as a Picture in Frocks of Dainty Silk Sheer Dy C1IERIE NICHOLAS mwr --v'oy -s V ' J ?- .... j ' f 4 "f T ;v: C l i ji I 'll t ' " ' ? ; ipj- ' V . - !-V . f ' - t ' IS - :j l v I r ' ' f fcv ' M ' ' SO LITTLE MISSY and Miss Sweet Sixteen are dated up for just one party after another this summer? Hearts set all a flutter as to delectable gowns that will make young moderns look pretty as a picture? Which leads up to the why and wherefore of the accompanying ac-companying illustration. This group of adorable party frocks conveys an all-important style message in regard to summertime party frocks, namely that of the supremacy of fine silken sheer fabrics in the mode. The weaves in the category of silk heers that are favored most include in-clude silk organdies in white or pastels, pas-tels, marquisettes, mousseline de soies, also either soft or starched s-ilk chiffons, frothy white silk tulles, silk nets and of course the loveliness of silk laces is not ignored. Not a sheer in the above mentioned list but that works like magic in accenting ac-centing the endearing young charms of party-going young daughters this season. The outstanding characteristic of the new sheer frocks is a quaint-ness quaint-ness that reminisces of Civil war fashions. To give the ultra-feminine look and the coy simplicity that present pres-ent styling implies, designers are indulging freely in such fetching details de-tails as flounces, dainty ruffles, bow-knot bow-knot or flower appliques, and the newest gesture is the revival of gay ribbons (supposed to change color of your ribbons to tune to your mood) run through yards and yards of beading, just like in the old-fashioned days. The majority of party frocks look very bouffant with their wide skirts, and the most ultra models have nipped-in waistlines like heirloom daguerrotypes portray, for the trend at present Is more and more to wasp waist silhouettes. The flounce that flourished in Civil war times have returned. Sometimes just one knee-deep flounce gives added fullness about the hemline. Then again flounces are tiered one above another. The old-fashioned way of heading the flounce with lace or embroidery beading, through which colorful beading has been run, adds to the quaintness of present day styling. In the lovely girlish frock to the left the bow-knot applique done in ribbon enhances the full Bkirt The little girl In the background has her silk organdy dress similarly fashioned, thus carrying out the popular idea of sister fashions. Frocks of this type are equally lovely love-ly fashioned of either white or pastel pas-tel chiffons or silk organdies. The little girls in the foreground are charmingly gowned. The diminutive dimin-utive lace jacket worn, as shown centered in the picture, is enough to delight any little girl's heart. Very prettily styled is the other little girl's dress. It is made all of lace with fiutings of self lace adorning adorn-ing the bodice top and outlining the waistline. A styling trend very noticeable in the smartest new gowns is that of the all-over shirred waist The new sheers yield to this treatment very pleasingly. The shirring can be easily eas-ily done by the home dressmaker, by loosening the,, tension of one's sewing machine and lengthening the stitch. Then when the machine stitching is done pull the top thread and even shirring will result. Thin paper placed under chiffon while stitching keeps material flat It tears away easily. (Released bj Weitern Newspaper Union.) Lumber-Jacket Top if 1 I ( - The lumber-jacket influence continues con-tinues throughout summer fashions. So much so many of the daintiest sheer lingerie blouses are now made with belts (some worked with lace insertion and edging) that fasten over the skirt Printed silk sheers such as pictured proclaim the new fad in this youthful lumber-jacket silhouette that has come in on the crest of the widely heralded "little girl" vogue. Note how its belt but tons over the skirt The remarkable remarka-ble thing about the silk that fashions this dress is that it is the new sanitized sani-tized type, treated with process that acts as a deodorant Flare for Rubber Flowers Growing The idea of wearing the new rubber rub-ber flowers as a corsage or bou-tonniere bou-tonniere elsewhere than on the beach is gaining. These lovely flowers are too attractive to confine within a limited realm. Then, too, they are eminently practical for soap and water will keep them fresh-looking indefinitely. Natural colors, grace of design and true reproduction of nature marks these corsages as outstanding. outstand-ing. Anemones in pastel colors en liven a swim suit with true artistry.

Stripes Back in Fashion Picture The cycle of fashions continues to revolve and now the indicator stops at 1915, the era of the Castle walk and, from the sartorial standpoint f stripes. But striped materials in the hands of the modern designer have a spicy verve wholly different from those recorded in the fashion books of almost al-most a quarter of a century ago. One of their paramount virtues is that they are slimming. However, their chief charm is that they lend themselves to such varied and ex citing adaptions.
