A Troublesome Irritation is Often Relieved

Not only la It one of the moat frequent of all affection* of this area of the body, but occasionally one of the most difficult to treat. Because in many instances it to impossible to find the cause of the trouble, treatment (or the most part Is devoted to the use ci such substances as will relieve the ItchIn*. For example, ointments, lotions and the Injection of pain-re-llevln* substance* or anesthetics have been employed. X-ray treatments have also been used. Suggested Ointment Doctors Urn J. Itoyd and Emms Iloilo Wc ot New York have hubRested using an uintm<-ol made up of lanolin and cholesterol with cetyl alcohol. In addition. It contained witch haael. tannin* and ephedrine. It would aeem that an ointment ot this type permits easy absorption of the substances and these substances In turn aid in relieving the Itching. A nest het les such as beneocaihe and cblerbetanol may also be Included In such preparations. In a number of patients who used the ointment, relief Was obtained often Oft* a period of month*. It was found that the p»tienta who improved most were those who alee bad some form «f Mttgwerm infection of the shin around the

It bears repeating that thia newspaper ha* no favorites In the various primary races, nor doe* It engage In a campaign for any particular candidate. The newepeper merely records the news and lists the names of all candidates, selection of nomine** being up to the voter. A primary election campaign Is a personal selling job for the candidate and this newspaper doe* not wish, or have any desire to dictate to its readers who they should vote for on .May 7. —o The Decatur high school will graduate 75 young men and women in the sltty-flfth annual commencement exercises to be held May 23.

While condition* seem Unnettled, there never was a time in history whe-u at the moment everything was perfect, so the young graduates will have to meet the challenge and go forward It's our guess that they will. —o Faith:* With many voices raised in doubt* and fears for the future, it was reassuring to hear wiiat Frank Gervail, foreign correspondent and Washington editor of Collier's Mags tine. Mild in a public address recently Instead of doubt and pessimism, be spoke in this fashion. "There will be no civilisationdestroying war, despite the many men of evil heart and evil tongue who are attempting to edge us into oue. These prophets of doom are the faithless people who do not believe In the principle* of democracy, who arc afraid of progress and change. The great masses of people everywhere believe In democracy The great lack of faith I* at the top. among the men who currently have power and won't yield any of it. In this category are the reactionary generals and admiral*, and a vast number of majors and colonels who used to be soda jerk*.

Hence, it would appear that some substance might also be included in the ointment *clch would tend to get rid of the fungotts infections Antiseptic & distance The proper concentrate of bencocaine should le* employed since an excessive amount will lead to irritation. It is also a good plan to include In olntmeblr used for pruritic ani. as this condition is called, some anti-septic substance to aid In overcoming perm infections which may Im- prosent. Os course, a physician must supervise this type of care. In every instance of thta disorder. it Is Important to have a careful study made to determine If some condition may not be present which elds in producing the Itching, for example. Hemorrhoids or perhaps colitis and diarrhea. On the other hand. It win be found that in most Instances there is no disorder present to account for the Itching. Ih thwe cases, the use of ointment which allows the anesthetic present In it to be easily absorbed or taken up and also deposits antiseptic substances on the skin, will be helpful in giving temporary relief. Buestlons and Answer* 'A. A.: Quite often the skin breaks open in the inside of my tower lip. What causes this’ Answer: This condition might bo due to vitamin deficiency, tack of riboflavin or vitamin B-t. It might also be due to chappin* or to seme Infcitton.

Zion Evangelical *c Reformed Church) “THE QUESTION OF AUTHORITY” "By what authority do**t thou the** things; and who gave thee thia authority.” Matthew 21:23. The enemies of Jesus pretended that they wanted to know more alwut his credential*, but they really wanted Io discredit and entrap him. .Modern enemies of our Lord declare that they want inure proofs of his authority, more evidence of his Divine Nonship. What they really lack is not proof and evidence, but love for him ami submission to his will. The world need* today, not more proof of divine authority, l»ut more obedience to the divine will. Honest doublers are deserving of sympathy and enlightenment; but professed seeker* after truth, who are unwilling to accept the consequences of belief, should expect to receive no further light. An increasing knowledge of divine truth Is conditioned upon humble submission of the heart and the will to what already has been revealed. "If any man will DO his will, he shall KNOW of the doctrine, whether It be of God. or whether I speak of myself."

Present 'City Dump' May One Day Be Park Tract Is Termed As Ideal Park Location Th* city of Decatur owns the (.-acre tract of land just east of the Nt. .Mary'* river on U. B highway I*4. Today the land is used a* a "catch aH'' for trash. It I* the "official city dump." The primary purpose (or th* purchase of the land was for the sinking of water well*. Already one Well has l>een drilled and another is contemplated soon. These two wells. It Is believed. will give Decatur an ample water supply for the present. However, the wells take up rery little room and the city *o»n will have a large tract of high, fllh-d in land, and also a beautiful woods with an acre or two of water, which is known a* the sand pit. City officials have hope* that some day this land will be added to the city park system and it is believed by many that the land would make one of th< finest city parks in northern Indiana. Originally the land was low. and was flooded several times each year. The low part is being filled in and aa the land reaches almoat the level of the road, top soil is being placed over the cinders and trash. When the fill is completed, a load way can Im- made back into the woods and around the sand pit and there is room for numerous birdie paths. The woods Is one of the prettiest in the county and there are hundred. of beautiful trees which would make the land a natural for a park. No official plane have been made, but total officials state that the possibilities for a pi.rk are unlimited. As of today, however, the land Is still the “offeial city dump."

CHAPTER TEN BEFORE WE rang Polly Woodford's bell that evening, at fiinethlrty sharp, I went into my apartment to see U Margot hau returned in the meantime. But apparently she had not. At least there was no sign of her in her room or elsewhere. And so 1 shrugged off the puzzle and went hack to the foyer, where Hunt Berwick was waiting for me. He was standing at one of the consoles there, fingering a large gray envelope, and asked the moment he aaw me. "Was this here when we left? It'a addressed to Mrs. Ingalls and delivered by hand. No stamp." 1 dtm’t know,” 1 told him "All I can say is, I hadn't noticed -1 and it's one more mystery? This mystery was soon to be cleared, however. "What a pity, what a pity! When I'd arranged for my star mannequin te model only gowns created for her!" j'Sliy twittered regretfully when I told Inra of Mkrgot's disappearance. "How could she do that me!

And I hope you will forgive my entering your home without permission, Mademoiselle Applebee. But—when I found the door open—” "Tou found my front door open?" 1 asked incredulously. “A leetle ML" Polly showed a distance of half an inch between two finger*. 'The departing visitor evidently hadn't quite dosed IL" "What departing visitor?” Hunt asked abruptly. Polly shrugged "A gentleman. To say more would be indiscreet, no?" "Not when the—er—gentleman was leaving Miss Applebee's apartment." Hunt pointed out dryly. Polly's antics registered embarrassment "That is true, in away. But. after all, who I thought it was is beside the point. AU I saw clearly was a man in a light gray hat sinking out of sight in the elevator, when I came out to deliver the note. I concluded he came from Miss Applebee's apartment because there was no other place to come from and—” He stopped, cocked his head and blinked, a bit maliciously, I thought. "He was about your height, Dr. Berwick. And I notice your hat is light gray also. So—it i actually could have been you.” “It could, but it wasn't," Hunt told him briefly. i “Os course not I just meant to ' illustrate my predicament" Polly 1 agreed. And then went on: "When ' I found the door ajar 1 naturally imagined he had left it open and 1 went in. But I rang the bell first ' Word of honor, I did." I couldn't understand It. If he ' had rung the bell, Margot would have heard and answered it. And then a simple explanation r occurred to me and I cut Into the little couturier's effus'm* excitcd- > ly: "Os course, that’s It! I bet Margot IngalU was in the elevator, too.

and you didn't see her, Mr. Woodfords." Polly stopped talking, looked reflective, end then agreed. "C ent ca! Clever of you to think of It. Mademoiselle. Without a doubt ahe was in the elevator, hidden behind her escort." And then he dropped the subject and ushered us into his apartment. It was, without exception, the moot beautiful I'd ever been in, and so original, only the imagination of a near-genius could have dreamed it up. The whole rear of the house had been thrown into one enormous room which could be subdivided Into three by means of decorative sliding walls—with such unsightly necessities as the kitchen and bathroom tucked away to both sides of the foyer. The sliding walls looktd like rich draperies when closed, hanging in majestic golden folds ornamented with a brilliant design of fanastic flowers and birds and, closed or half open, were a marvelous background forth/ equally rich and exotic furniture Polly had gathered in his home, each piece as much of a special creation as his beloved gowns. Tonight the wall that ordinarily shut off his sleeping quarters served as a hackdrop for fils ?**hlon show. And tea splendor of it—
