formation of the secretion by the
thyroid gland. This, in turn, will
stop disturbances of other glands
of internal secretion and of the
nervous system which seem to oc-
cur when toxic goiter is present.
When treatment with propyl-
thiouracil is used, it must be
given in adequate dose by a doc-
tor so that the basal metabolism
is kept normal or even less than
normal for a period of six months
to a year.
Reactions to this drug may
sometimes occur and frequently
may be so severe as to make it
necessary to stop the use of the
preparation.
In one type of goiter, known as
a nodular goiter, operation must
be carried out because it gets rid
of the goiter and prevents the
possibility of a cancer occurring.
However, those patients who
have a small goiter, and only mild
or moderate symptoms, may of-
ten be cured with propylthiou-
racil.
Recently it has been found, too,
that in many cases the condition
can be controlled by radioactive
iodine.

primary fault lies with a butter-
fly shaped gland, known as the
thyroid and located in the neck.
When the thyroid gland becomes
overactive and secretes too much
of its product, the body is power-
fully stimulated and all its bodily
activities speeded up unmerci-
fully.
Soon, symptomwise, it shows
itself in increased sweating, ra-
pid heart beat, diarrhea, and
rapid loss of weight and strength.
There may also be trembling of
the hands and tongue and bul-
ging of the eyeballs.
Metabolism Test
As a general rule there is no
difficulty in making the diagnosis
of toxic goiter. Here a basal me-
tabolism test is helpful. This test
is carried out by having the pa-
tient breathe into a tank and
measuring the amount of oxygen
which is used up in a given period
of time.
Although we have various
methods for dealing with toxic
goiter, severe cases are most suc-
cessfully treated by operation.
Prior to operation, the patient
may be given iodine in the proper
dose- and, with such treatment,
the mortality is less than 1 out of
100.

TEL AVIV, Israel, (A) — The
Israeli diet is skimpy and monot -

the main entree, but even that’s
better than horse, mule or camel
steaks. Zvi Lehman, an official
of the inspection department of
the ministry of supply and ration-
ing, says that’s what Israelis of-
ten get when they buy "meat” in
the black market.
Israeli law permits meat to be
sold in rationed and strictly lim-
ited quantities three days week-
ly, but for many Israelis, even
though a black marketeer is hard
to find in this country, they still
prefer trying to get some of the
"meat” he offers for sale.

NEW YORK, May 25 (P) —
The happy tune that most busi-
ness men are whistling, pleasant
as it is, has a little undertone in
a minor key. An even greater
drain on dad’s pocketbook seems
likely in the weeks ahead.
Prices on many of the cost of
living items are being revised
upwards, hand in hand with the
business boom. Tight supplies
and increasing demand have led
producers to hike prices. Some
of the increased buying may be
due to fear of further inflation,
but much of it appears based on
meeting present needs, which
led producers to hike prices.
Many foods are going up, in
spite of the large surpluses left
over from last year. Livestock
and grain prices have been climb-
ing. Wholesale prices tend high-
er and cantankerous weather dims
the prospects for seasonal sup-
plies of fresh fruits and vegeta-
bles cutting the total cost of the
market basket this summer.
Hog and pork prices are ex-
pected to reach a peak late in the
summer. Cattle and beef prices
may not start to drop before early
fall. Lamb prices are expected
by .most observers to stay high,
because of short supplies, during
the rest of the year.
A bad spring, with late freezes,
cut heavily into the fruit crop.
Apples and citrus prices may not
rise, but you may have to pay
more this summer and fall for
peaches, pears, plums, cherries,
prunes and grapes.
Sugar prices may go up short-
ly, too, just as the canning sea-
son starts. Raw sugar costs have
gone up and some eastern re-
fineries are talking of boosting
the refined price accordingly.
More homes are going up than
ever before, but so is the cost of
building them. Builders blame
higher material and labor costs.
Rents have been climbing slow-
ly, but steadily. Controls have
been dropped in many areas, and
seem due to be relaxed or ended
in others. The building boom
hasn't yet reached the point where
a glut of houses will cut the
demand for rental units.
Apparel sales continue slow,
and bargains are offered, but re-
cord high 'wool prices dampen
hopes for cheaper all-wool suits,
although competition from syn-
thetic fabrics hold price hikes in
check. A jump in sales of cotton
textiles has brought the inevit-
able accompanying rise in cloth
prices.
Sales of durable goods, like
cars refrigerators, television sets,
have been the sparkplug of the
spring business spurt, but costs
of the raw materials they use
have been going up.
Tires have just gone up again,
and may go even higher. Back
of that lies the jump of raw rub-
ber to record heights out in the
dollar-hungry British, Dutch and
Indonesian rubber producing
areas.
Gasoline has gone up in many
places, as the summer season of
heavy consumption starts. Heavy
fuel oil, used by ships and fac-
tories, has gone up a little, too.

CHAPTER TWENTY
AS THE thunder sounded, there
was a concerted move to rush
everything from the porch into the
kitchen. In the kitchen no one
tried to talk above the almost con-
tinuous roll of thunder. Eliza went
to a window and stood there,
watching the storm and Chris
Cameron joined her but they did
not say anything to each other.
“John, that window in the office
that leaks!”
It would take John a little time
to stuff a towel into the cracks in
the frame, as he’d done in other
rainstorms.
John left the room. She moved
close to George, slipped her hand
into his pocket. It was a game
they’d played before—he’d put his
hand in and squeeze hers or bend
her fingers back or tickle her palm.
But now he drew a little away
from her, muttering from a corner
of his mouth, “Cut it out, Lyn.”
John came back into the room.
“No damage—rain’s coming the
other way."
Then the storm stopped as sud-
denly as it had broken. Chris said
to Jeremy, "Think we’d better take
advantage of this and walk along
home?”
George brought out Eliza’s coat
and his own. "A swell party, Mrs.
Streeter.”
“I enjoyed it ever so much.
Thanks for inviting me,” Said
Eliza.
Marilyn forced a show of gaiety.
“’By! I'll be seeing you both
soon!” But after they had gone
she stood very still at the kitchen
table, picturing the intimacy of
their ride through the dark. She’d
only ridden with George in day-
light, when anyone could see...
John picked up the alarm clock
and began to wind it At the rasp-
ing sound it made, Marilyn swung
around on him.
“You won’t need to set the alarm
very much longer! What you said
to George—the way you said it..."
John put the clock down on the
table. “Even if I lose' my job at
the mill, I won’t be sorry I said It
—the way I said it.” He spoke in
the harsh tone he had, then, “Going
to wash these dishes? I’ll dry."
“I’m leaving them—I don’t want
to look at them now!”
John came around the table,
close to her. He moved to put his
hand on her shoulder, then let it
fall to his side. "Just what is there
between you and Culbert?"
The unexpectedness of the ques-
tion and the quiet way in which he
asked it threw Marilyn into con-
fusion. Though, after tonight, she
could say in all truth, "There’s
nothing,” she wouldn’t, for that
would be acknowledging it to her-
self and she was not going to do
that—not yet! She tossed her head
in a little show of deftahee “I don’t
know why you’re asking me that,
now!”
"One time is the same as an-
other. I'm not blind; Lyn. I saw
the way you looked at him to-
night. Will you answer me? Is
there anything?”
She drew in a little breath. "If
I do like him, it’s your own fault!”
John said quietly, “Probably it
is,” and turned and walked out
almost goes.

of the room.
"Look at the stars—how close
they seem," said Chris as he and
Jeremy turned up the road.
Jeremy looked up at the night
sky, spread with stars, but she
could find no voice to comment on
their brilliancy. A wretchedness of
spirit, worse even than that which
she had suffered there at the table,
kept her silent.
That lie she had told—It had
come out almost before she knew
she was going to speak it, though
that didn't make it less a lie or
less frightening.
Chris talked of the telescope he
planned to have at his place, some
day. “When I get it rigged up,
you must bring your children to
look through it.”
Her throat closed tighter. If he
knew, he wouldn’t ask her to come
and look through his telescope!
When he knew ...
That would be her punishment
—to confess her lie to him. He'd
been so nice to her when they were
playing that silly game, saved her
from showing herself up a perfect
fool! Nice to her all through the
horrible evening. And now he was
going on talking and not noticing
that she couldn’t say a word.
But she wouldn't tell him until
they got to the Abels’ home. She
wished it were twice as far away.
Too soon they reached the path
that led to the house. “Got a key?"
asked Chris. "Or don't they lock
their door?"
“I guess—I don’t know—I’ve
never been out at night." Jeremy
had stopped on the patlr, her face
averted. "Mr. Cameron, I’ve got
to tell you . .Her voice choked
and she had to wait a moment to
go on. “I told a lie to everyone
tonight. I am related to Roland
Penny. He’s my brother, but I
don’t want anyone to know, so—so
I said what I did.”
She waited, then, with hanging
head and fast-beating heart, for
his contempt. Never, never again
would he speak to her with that
nice lone in his voice!
But Chris said gently, “You poor
kid—it can't be easy to deny a
brother!”
She lifted her head, her thin
face, close to his, illumined. "You
—don’t despise me? Oh, you’re—
you’re, wonderful!” With that she
turned and ran from him up the
path to the door.
Chris waited only long enough
to see the door shut behind Jeremy
and then went on toward the
Notch. “The kid’s in some pretty
tough jam with herself,” he re-
flected. "Hiding up here from that
brother, if I’m not mistaken." That
would explain the tight look on
her face, the almost furtive man-
ner, that had made him wonder
about her, feel sorry for her, after
their first meeting. It had been an
impulse springing from that pity
that had led him to ask her if he
might stop for her to go to this
party.
"One good talk might straighten
things out for her!”
Then he laughed, though there
was no amusement in the sound.
He was thinking of himself as the
one to give the good talk, of
course. Moved to it, as he’d been

that day John Streeter came to his I
place. The old habit lifting its I
head again. I
He did not regret that occasion I
with John. He had an idea he had I
bolstered him up some, and he felt I
rather certain that no other such I
me ment would come up between I
them again. But with Jeremy, it I
might be very different. I
Elinor Grammer had told him I
he was "wonderful,” in the same I
over-emotional way Jeremy had I
cried it out, there in front of I
Abel's. I
His concern for Elinor Gram- I
mer, that first day she had come I
to his study in the parish house of I
St. Stephen’s, had been as imper- I
sonal as the concern he felt now I
for Jeremy. She was about the
age of Jeremy, as off-the-beam.
From the pulpit he’d urged his
parishioners to come to him with
their problems—“Did I think I was
God?"—and Elinor had come. Her
trouble was that she did not be-
lieve in anything; she had tried
and tried, and she couldn’t, she
had told him. It was his first year
of ministry; he’d seen it a God-
sent opportunity to prove himself
a worthy shepherd.
She had come again and again.
She had claimed he was helping
her. Then, after a few months, he
had found it wasn’t God she really
wanted.
She was small and appealing and
lovely, in a fragile way; it had not I
been difficult to confuse his own I
feelings and become engaged to
her.
If Elinor grew spiritually Chris I
never had known. He knew he I
didn’t, though not until later. But I
St. Stephen’s prospered. Talk be- I
gan of building a new church. His I
sermons were drawing larger and I
larger congregations. I
Recalling it, Chris tried, as he I
had countless times before, to fig- I
ure out just when his doubts of I
himself had begun to take shape. I
It was Hannah McGavern who I
had opened his eyes to himself. I
He had found her one day, rsading I
from some sheets of a half-written I
sermon she had picked up from the I
desk in his study. She’d gone in to
clean and he’d gone in and found
her standing with the sheets in
her hand.
She'd put them down quickly. “I
was just taking a look at it,
Rev’rend—I didn’t do no more.”
“Come to church next Sunday
and you’ll hear me preach it.”
She had shaken her head. “St.
Stephen’s isn’t for the likes of me.”
“That isn’t the way to look at it,
Hannah.” He’d made some such
protest, but she’d only shaken her
head and he hadn’t urged her
further.
j Then he'd told Elinor about it.
“But, Chris, don’t you see she's
right? Why, she cleans for almost
everyone here in Willow Ridge!
She has better judgment than you
—she knows how uncomfortable
she’d feel!” Later he often had
wished he had taken Hannah Mc-
Gavern by her hand some Sunday
and led her down the aisle past
pews filled with those women for
whom she cleaned. But that was
not until after he had resigned.
