He acts surprised as the facts are developed, but so far hasn't convinced any one according to reports from Manila where hi* trial I* n-arlng an end. o—o Rudolph Hess is sane. The commission which examined him has so declared and Hess has admitted that his "loss of memory" stunt was a fake He will probably have the opportunity to tell from the witness stand what the real purpose of his plane trip to au enemy country during the war was and to explain other matters of Interest to the word. - o—o The Christmas spirit will trnou I be noticeable and you will want to join it.

World-wide io ita distribution, whooping cough ia endemic in large cities, becoming epidemic on a large scale every two to four years. The seriousness of pertussis, especially in young children, is evidenced by the mortality rate—about 26 percent in infants less than one year old.

Children should be vaccinated during the first year of life. Do not wait for an epidemic. It takes several weeks after vacciuatipp for the body to produce antibodies. Ask your physician now about protection from whooping cough for your baby. We carry fresh stocks of vaccine under refrigeration at •11 times. Holthouse Drug Co. '

’ (W f&'w BUY SEALS Health Program Os President Opposed Disapproval Voiced By AMA Delegates Chicago. Dec. 5 (I'Pl—The American medical a*»oclatlon'* policymaking house of delegates was on record today with official disapproval of President Truman’* proposed national -health program. In the only closed *e»alon of the annual meeting, delegate* last night denounced the President’s tax-supported health Insurance proposal a* "the first step In a plan for genera! socialization, not only of the medical -prof'Melon, but of all profession*, industry and labor." In a statement issued after the meeting, the AMA policy group xaid that voluntary pre-payment medical plans now in operation in 24 states would achieve all the abject* of Mr. Truman'* program, a* embodied in the Wagner-Mur-ray-Dingell bill, and provide "the -highiwt type of medical service without regimentation.'* The statement charged that the Senate measure was "founded on a false assumption that solution of the medical care problem for the American people is the panacea for all the troubles of the needy." The house of delegates approved. however, sections of the President's proposal which recom-l mended federal aid for building I health centers and developing a national research foundation. Sections of the proposal favor ing extension of maternal aud dhild care services and compensation for loss of earnings due to sickness were referred back to the public relatione and legislation committee for further consideration. The delegates, representing more than 125,000 American physl< ians. voted support to the M«gnu«on bill, which would place * research foundation under a scientific board, rather than under one person appointed by the President. Earlier, the delegates recommended the immediate discharge of all medical officers in ttie armed services, and approved au offer by the American Red Cross to turn over for use by the civilian population all plasma accumulated from the War and Navy departments. — Q Trade In * Qoog Town — Decatur Beware Coughs from ttMM CflMe That Hang On Creomiihiocj relieves promptly because ft foes rigfat to the eewt of the trouble to help loosta and expel 1 germ taden phlegm, and Aid nature : aXStfSKiS: i fohsve your money tmet ££L°m!S!l
