Appendicitis Is A
Summer Danger

Deaths from appendicitis usually
rise in July and August, not because
appendicitis is more dangerous dur
ing those months, but because it is
so often confused with common sum-
mer digestive upsets.
A special warning is accordingly
issued by members of the Minnesota
State Medical Associations Commit
tee on Public Health Education
against dismissing any abdominal
pain or distress as simple summer
indigestion.
Especially the physicians warn
against giving a laxative before the
possibility of appendicitis has been
ruled out in case of "stomach-ache."

her cheeks. Thank Stephen"
she managed to say.
Stephen turned to Tom. I'll take
you home, now, Tom, If you're ready
to go. You ought to be with Tina"
The boy followed him out, got into
the car, still maintaining his air
Of sulkiness.
He barely thanked Stephen as he
left him. When he came into the
house, Miss Mills was alarmed at
the pallor of his face and the way
his hands shook. He kept walking
back and forth in the tiny kitchen
until it began to CRATE on her nerves.
Tom" she said, you must eat
something and try to calm your
self. After all, it doesn't help any
to be so upset. Such things happen
and we have to make the best Of
them. I know you're feeling re-
morseful because you've caused your
father great deal of trouble and
now he's-you feel as if"
"Oh Lord, no! 1t amt that at
ALL" Tom Coborn shouted wildly at
her. His face was stretched taut.
'You don't know anything about
It,"
well, what is 1t, them" Miss Mills
asked.
Toms Actions Suspicious.
IT amt goin' to tell. Sect I
didn't mean to do it. It wasn't my
fault" He flung himself into
chair, laid his head on the table and
began to sob hoarsely.
Miss Mills frowned. Here Tina"
she said at last, you run to the
store and get some rolls, so that Tom
can have a nice breakfast"
She waited until Tina was safely
on her way before she began to
question. What wasn't your fault?"
she asked sharply. whats really
happened? What about the acci-
dent? Your father was hit by a
car, I know, but who was driving?"
He raised his head slowly, his face
white and quivering. 'First they
arrested Steven Malone, but they
let him 60 this morning because he
was just tryin' to protect that Miss
Storm, the teacher. She was drivin'
Larry Carvel's car" He explained
it all.
But Tom," Laura Mills pointed
out craftily, you said something
about it wasn't your fault? Where
were you?'
"Quit givin' me the third degree!"
he snarled. He jumped to his feet,
his eyes glazed with fury. 1T wasn't
my fault. I didn't mean to-"
You didn't mean to what?"
Suddenly his expression was ugly.
"She said she hit him. See? And
that's all there is to it" He began
to pace again, twisting his hands
together, kicking at things In his
| way.

 A vital link in Britain's life line of empire," Alden was pur- chased by the British in 1887, after natives had mistreated sur- vivors of a shipwreck there. Two. years later the purchase was re- pudiated; Britain landed troops, subdued the area.
 The colony was administered through the government of India until 1887. when Alden was made a crown colony. This new status produced its first stamp issue, 12 values picturing native dhow. The coronation issue, showing the king and queen, was released in three values in 1887 and the com- memorative series of 12 values and seven designs was issued last year.
