Relief in Penicillin Lozenges

•r Herman N. BundCteh, Here's news that may rvenitdal’y take much of the misery out of ordinary sore throat A quick, effective and easy core of this nil-too-prevalent aliment may bercsne more than a promise through (the use of penicillin losenges »ud sulfonamide wafers. Dr. Harry H. Rosenthal. a issutenant command?? in the Medical Corps of the U.o.N.it . has tried out both o' these prcparaticms with such good results that be now advocates their wide use in tfie treatment of various kinds of s«e throat. Call Doctor Now. of coarse, this does uat mean that you can afford to Mr your own doctor In such eases. A physician should always be calMtf Is cases of severe sore throat, stuMr is many Instances, the infection may be caused by diphtheria germs, in this event an entirety different tyf* of treatment Is ft- ' <|Uired. Then. too. even If your partied' lar sore throat Is of the most ordtnary kind, you will not be able to tell whethef u penicillin or a sulfonamide preparation will do the most good. Dr. Rosenthal, fur instance, found the penlcftlin lozenge particularly effective In tonsillitis and trench mouth. Th* penicillin loseoge Is made up of sodium citrate, etarcb. gelatin. sugar, distilled water and pen-

Kin* George VI, her father, would not allow draeinp an taster Sunday. -0 Otte fact has dimmed somewhat the triumph with which the American people have celebrated our war victories. We hate won the big war. but it is not yet fully assured that we have won tbe peace. General Elsenhower himself, than whom there can hardly be any better judge, calmly says that there must be no premature efforts to disarm, lest we miss our goal of permanent peace. —o Leaving a ear with tbe ignition unlocffed or with the keys In the ignition will be made a misdemeanor if a proposed ordinance goes through the Cleveland city council. Similar ordinances have been adopted by Rochester, Minneapolis. Milwaukee and Washington, D. C. A large proportion of car thefts are the work of joyriding youths. Part of the guilt certainly belongs to the person who put temptation in their way. A motorist's forgetfulness has started more than one happy-go-lucky lad on the downward grade that ends In the penitentiary. America’s national library has Just received a priceless gift. W. Somerset Mitnghain. British novelist and playwright, has given tbe Library of Congress tbe original manuscript of bls novel "Os Human Bondage." Thongh Maugham is known for many books, perhaps best for his play "Rain", dealing with the Malay Peninsula, none outranks "Os Human Bondage", written as early as 1915. it is soulsearching and harrowing of tbe life of mental agony that accompanies a deformed hero. Its pictures of life in the poorer parts of Loudon are unsurpassed. The manuscript is valued at 9W.MB. —o Planning a vaentton away from home tlrfs summer? Better be sure to get hotel reservations before starting out. There is’Hkely to be greater erowdhr* of hotels than ever before. The reasons are. first, that more are determined to have a vacation this year. War work and gasoline rationing kept everyone close to home during the war. Now everybody with a car or money for railway or bus fare wants to get out and go pieces. Then, there are more veterans at home to enjoy civilian vacations. There are more new cars, 100, and tires, aud space in cars and bnstrs. Inland and coastwise passenger ship travel, much of which was closed down for the war, fa starting up again. The biggest reason of ail is a great hunger for travel.

One losenge is given every hour and tho patient is instructed to allow it dissolve slowly on the tongue It baa been found that with this treatment, pain is relieved within four hours. Tonsil •welling The swelling of the tonsils decreases as much as 23 to 50 per cent within 12 hours and fever and other symptoms are practically gone within a day and a half. In addition to the use of the penicillin lozenges, he suggests gargling three times a day with a dilute solution of'hydrogen peroxide to wash away dead tissue. The sulfonamide wafer is made of sufsnHanride, baking soda, snlfathiasoie, wax and oil of peppermint. One tablet is given every two hours and the patient chows It as he would a piece of gum. Dr Rosenthal reports that there is an almost immediate soothing effect on the inflamed lining membrane of the throat and the infection usually disappear* within two or three days. A person with a sore throat usually is not seriously ill Neglect may cause him to become so, however. since this may be the starting point for more serious Infections of ear and iiugs. in any case, he is likely to be uncomfortable, so it is good news indeed that doeloss now have an easily-ouM and effective weapon ugaims* this cornmon disorder.

Isn't it? A playground on one corner just one block from a tombstone works— Rrrrr". This same contrast reminds one of Sleepy Hollow where the headless horseman hovered around tombstones while children played outside the walls. On the opposite side of the street is a residence which in turn faces a busy servi<e station. The former represents Decatur's homeloving citizens while the busy traffic in and out of the service station is an illustration of persons in search of adventure. Life, death, home and open road all meet at the crossroads of Fourth and Monroe streets.

Stale Below Average For Deaths From TB Over 1 JOO Hoosiers Died Os TBJn 1945 Indianapolis, April M— < I P> - Tuberculosis kllh-d nearly 1.100 Hoosiers Inet year, executive sec-1 retary Murray A. Auerhach of the state TB association said today. | Most of the TB victims lived ini the hlghly-lndnatrsllxed. denselypopulated sections «f Indiana. Nearly half—st)« from a total 1.- i o*9—of the state tuberculosis vic-, time were residents of Marlon. Lake, Allen. St- Joseph and Vanderbuig counties. Marion county had the greatest death toll 212 (Almost 200 of those were In Indianapolis.t Lake was next, with 1'29. (71 In Gary), while the other three large counties had between 50 and HO victims. The overall statewide picture 1 showed three out of every 100 Hoosier deaths were caused by tuberculosis last year. Gary led all Indiana < Hies in TB deaths per 100 deaths with six. Indianapolis wax next, with 1.2.1 while Fort Wayne was the only I other Indiana city to exceed the j ' state's average of three tubercukr- 1 sis deaths In each 100 deaths. The Fort Wayne figure was 3.1. While the induatrl.il counties contributed the most TB deaths, the highest tuberculosis death rate - was in a southern Indiana county. • Crawford. Its death ratio (based on total TB deaths to each 100,0<*0 - population) was 59.0. as compared with 16.0 in Marion county, 11.0 In Lak.-, 39.8 in Vandvrburg, 28.0 in Allen and 33.1 in St. Joseph. Nationally. Indiana was far Below the average of four TB deaths out of each l«0 from all caUMa. And. the Hoosier state's TB death ratio <>f 33 1 represented a slight drop from the 1911 figure and was less than half that of 1930 and ’ one sixth that of 1900, Auerbach - pointed out. In 1930 the reading was 68.1 (that Is, nearly seven TB deaths i in each 100 from all catMea.) In ' 1900 it was an amazing 187.1. Three Indiana counties — LaGrange, Brown and Ripley— had no' > tuberculosis victims, while Adams, i I Blackford. Carroll, Hancock. Jasper. Jennings. Miami, ohi», Swtti Zetland.

CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE “WHAT—SORT of thing—did Mrs Ingalls promise you ?" Inspector Barry picked one item out of Deane’s excited account Deane laughed nervously. “Oh—she said sh<» eould sell my novel to | the movies through a certain director friend of hers. The one that came out last year, I mean. And she mentioned such astronomical figures—seventy thousand or more . —she really got me going.** ! Claire said, “Well!" under her breath. And I felt like saying a great deal more. It was quite a shock to discover my pet client and former playmate had been willing to double-cross me! I don't know if telephathy had anything to do with it, but Inspector Barry said next: “Oh. you discussed business with the lady. I thought Mias Applebee was your agent and all that sort of thing would be done through her • “Yea Sur-. Os course," Deane agreed in three variations. “But, well, she didn't seU the book in spite of its success, and so I felt Justified in trying my hick through other channels. I'd naturally have paid her her commission if it had come off," he added virtuously. “I see. Any remarks about this?" the inspector digressed In my direction. “Yea. The book in question Is a fine novel, but so unsuitable for the screen that every major studio has turned It down," I said as calmly as I could manage. “But Mrs. Ingalls could have finagled a sale through her personal contacts and gotten a large price for it?" * “No," l said briefly. Inspector Barry nodded, as if satisfied with my answer. And then told Deane pleasantly:-Proves you were right when you thought sheer—wawrt afi there. When did you jet to Miss Applebee's apartment Friday afternoon?” .. n ■ h o“ w tave been there at three, Deane confessed uncomfort•Wy- Hot I couldn't make it I too busy trying to get some khid of accommodation to.

The Marchants limited was sold out, too. and so I had to go over to Penn station and try tor th. 5 o'clock train from there. I was lucky, too. They Just had had a cancellation.

vily populated areas had the most TB deaths. "We have a slogan that 'every case comes from another,' " he said, "and tbe chances for contracting TB are much greater in a city.” He cited poorer housing conditions, with active tubercular* living with "well persons,” as perhaps the primary cause. "Indiana's bigges- job now I* finding every TB case,” he said. "We've got to locale them, not only because tbe earlier TB is discovered the better the chances are for recovery, but also because a person can contract the disea-• only from one who bus it.” Q, Gun Terrorist Is Sought At Hammond Gun Play Follows Collision Os Cars Hammond, Ind, April 23 ti'i'l —Police today sought to c >nm-< t an unidentified gun terrorist who raced through downloan Hammond with the hoodlums who th- i bullet* Into 12 Chicago home >a weekend.

But all that took time and-lt must have been nearly four when I got to Tenth street at last.” "I see. You kept Mrs. Ingalls waiting an hour. Nice kind of protection!" The inspector 'a smile was heavy with sarcasm. “Was she angry about it?" “Not in the least." Deane looked astonished about his own statement “She was in excellent spirits and completely changed. All smiles and apologies for keeping me from Neal’s openbqf and—l don’t like to say it, but It’s the truth—she acted as if she were trying to flirt with me." The inspector bit off a grin “I see. Can you—er—give a mnre detailed description of — her advances?" Deane fidgeted. “Well, that’s something of a task, Inspector. It was, partly, the way she was dressed up. In a fancy negligee with a long skirt and low at the top in front. And she kept saying this must be *her day to howl, so many handsome young men were coming to see her. First Valente—on some errand for Neal—and now me. And —I can’t tell it, Inspector, but you should have seen het Making eyes and smirking and acting coy. I assure you. it was something!" The inspector put in his usual "I see," and Deane went on. “I told her why I was late and that I was leaving on the S o’clock from Penn station. And she said she was so glad rd be In Boston before the show was over and wouldn't I stay tin train time and have a highball. And, wen, I stayed. We sat talking and drinking highballs for about half an hour—that’s when I smok' d all those cigarets—and then I said goodby and went to the station." “You've skipped the most important part. What about the murderer in Neal's room?'' Claire reminded Deane when he stopped talkinginspector Barry frowned at her for a moment, and then asked, “What does Miss Walling mean, Kennard?" rather sternly. "Why—er—only—l thought the door to Neal’s room moved a few times while I was there," Deane toM him grudgingly, with a t«r from loving glance at Claire. And i the Ingalls woman seemed to looa at it every other minute and direct half her pretty speeches at it. so much so that to the end I had tne feeling she was making up to for the benefit of someone bemad
