Warts—Cause and Rem oval

By Herman N. Bundeten, M. D. IT USED to be though! that th* best way of removing warts wa by means of charma Thia atifierst It ion was given the color of truth and the reputation of many a deal er in magic wan aided by the fact that warts have away of coming all at once in crops and then. a» suddenly. disappearing. Today, we know that warta arc doe to an infection with a virus, the common name given to any of the ntnaiiest of dhaasM-prodiM ing organisms. those tiniest of trou Ne-makers. no minute that they can pa*« through the pores of a porcelain filter. Attack* Children The viru* which causes warta most often attacks children Many grown-up* caa remember how a* youngster* they were teased about picking up toads be cause their hand* were covered with warts. Yet which of them could say when or how the warta disappeared? This la something which should toe renumbered by parent* of today who are considering having their children treated for these blemishes. Warts of ail kinds Umd te vanish without leaving a trace even when no treatment is given It the treatment is painful, it Is ■well to think twice, particularly If the child ha« a number of warts, la case the first treatment is likely to be the last because the child will rebel. Unsightly Cluster* Sometime* warts appear in un algluiy clusters oa the the? and certain wart* are definitely pain-

When Harry Amick, frequent offender, appeared before Mayor Howell of Huntington this week, charged with again being intoxicated. he received a three months sentence to the penal farm, suspended provided he attends church each Sunday up to December Ist. The mayor said he could check on Amick because they attend the same church. o— o Infantile paralysis cases reported this year are more numerous than In any year since 1934. Four i-tates are listed as having epidemics. They are Texas. Colorado, Florida and Alabama. However, the ilines* has not been as severe as in other years, with fewer deaths and less crippling, due perhaps to the scientific advances made in the battle against polio. o— <>- — Watch for Rackets: It is difficult for normal, honest people to believe that there are i ether people in the world who 1 would deliberately gyp a serviceman out of his final pay. take a , worker's life's savings, or lie in wait for a matt or woman who draws money from a saving account to pay taxes and get the money away by some shady scheme. But unfortunately the world Is full of such racketeers, and It seems fuller than u-ual In these days when there are bonds i in the box and a little more ready cash than usual in the jeans. There are people who sell fake ! Canadian gold mine stocks. There are chain letter promotion scheme*. It seems as if every citizen must know about the idiocy of these promotions, hut new and trusting sucker come to light all the time. There are rackets in home repairs. There are fake C. O. D. - package* containing cheap souv- ., < nirs or paper and rags. There I are "coal* savers", phony magai zine suTscrlptions and other fakes too numerous to mention The warning is plain Don't buy , any lots or oil royalties or stocks ij without consulting your banker or i ■ the nearest Better Business Bur--1! eau Don't pay for anything C. 0. ' I’, at the door unless you ordered it yourself Don't pay for anything i supposed to have been ordered by your son who fell in list tie. Don't give any stranger your money to hold. 'ln other word . act like an j adult who knows there is no such thing as getting rich quick. Earn your salt and save your sugar and when you need to buy a home or invest for your old age. let your banker help you Earning and -aving that money was not easy. Don't throw it away.

; ful. In the.-- in lances, parents, quite naturally, want to know if they can removed. There are good treatments, but before the right one call be selected it i.< necessary to know just what sort of wart is to he dealt with. Three types occur in children. One. known as verucca vulgaris, is usually located on the ha<k of the hands and 'ingots but may lie found around the lips, eye lids, and nostrils. A second. called verucca plana occurs on the hands or fate as small, smooth, flat growth*. Generally they come in numbers. Verucca planter!* or plantar wart, the t hli d variety, occurs on the sole of the foot, causing pain. Carbon Dleside Anew In the case of verucca vulgaris > applying carbon dioxide snow will usually get rid of them. In verucca pantar it may be best to avoid treatment altogether, since they usually disappear sooner or later without treatment. If. however, there fs some anxiety on the part of the parents about getting rid 11 of the warts, the application of silver nitrate or picric acid by the physician will usually remove the growths, Hometime* taking some pfepiiration containing as prescribed by the dolor, will also prove attsfartory In the case of plantar warts, treatment with X-ray will usually bring immediate relief from pain and cause the warts to disappear. According to many physician*, ( this ia the only satisfactory treat-1 meat for plantar warta. --

QIAFTER FORTY-SIX THE FERRY wax clanging and grinding. H* took on* or two steps in the direction Nina had gone to assemble her luggage and wax stopped by a nudge on hie arm. It was the Hastings kid. The girl was carrying heavy valises and she glanced from the luggage to him significantly, with so plain an appeal that he found he was honestly sorry, for Pat looked bedraggled and poignantly helpless and tired. Ho said: “Wish I oould help you with those but I’m promised. If I'd just thought to bring my spare arm." Pat set down one bag and brushed back the hair strings that trailed to her eyes. "It's ail right. IH get a porter or someone." He said: "Well, so long , • . Thanks for the Scotch.” She put her hand on his sleeve, "Will you give me a ring? We'll be at the Waldorf.” She caught the Involuntary curl of hie lipe. "Oh. don't let that scare you. Heavens, I'm not— Why, the way I feel now!" Again, she pushed her hair wearily back. "I feel as if I'd been through the war. Why!" Her eyes bugged, her mouth gaped. "Why, it's something like that, like that wreck, isn't It?" "Something." His smile became full, almost pitying. "Only, more so. All the time." "Oh, no! . , , But then how do they stand it?" "Some do. Some don't," he said, rather sharply. "Depends on what kind of person you are. If you're one kind, you pull up your nerve and do something to help. If you're another, you sit down and cry and say why did it happen to me?" Her smudged forehead wrinkled; her juvenile, painted mouth stayed agape with the effort of thinking, until she said, quietly: "1 catch.” He touched her shoulder and again smiled. "Facts of life, kid . . . Well, so long. Take care of yourself.'* He saluted and squirmed through the going-off crowd to find Nina. She had said her good* bys. He picked up her luggage. They were caught in the swarm at the gates, pushed out to the shed, strode down the long, bilgereeking ferryhouse tunnel, out to the raw, blustery streets of New York. A yellow cab idled In front of the ferry bouse and as they moved toward It. Rauchmeyer lunged past thsm, leaped r.to the cab. slammsd Die door. For a quarter hour more, the Palm Queen survivors were ail together again, scrambling and squealing and fighting for taxicabs. "You'd think," he heard Mrs. Hastings complain, "they'd take care ot US, Pat, when we tell your fattier! What he'll do to that railroad!" Pat Hastlng's voice, ashamed and impatient, rose over her mother's. 'Oh, mother! Pu-leeze! Won't you beiieva there's a war?" Corbett said: "You wait here," to Nina, ducked through the stream of truck traffic, flagged a cab os It came to the corner, jumped in. drove around, stopped not before Nina, but in front of the Westons and Jeanie. “Get In." He lifted the child into the taxi. “Ho long, cookie, be good. Be* you some more.” He re-crossed the street, wigwagged In the rain until he flagged another. He put in Nina's bags, climbed io beside her. She gave the driver an address tn the Fifties and slid back in her comer.

He waa busying himself with the waterfront fruit sheds, knowing the elation of seeing familiar scene* and so at first he failed to see that Nina waa dabbing her eyes with a grayed linen square. When he finally turned, she had moved deep into her comer and was pretending to look at the piers. The droop of her back was betraying. He gripped her shoulders. turned her around. Th* ridiculous hat waa pushed back Ilk* a harridan's. Her-hair straggled. She had juet the wr earring, on a lobe as black as ■ stoker’a Her tan was amber and tears had made, streaks. He said: Tlcy! What goes?" She swallowed hard "Nothing I'm just a dope." Bh< pulled out her compact, locked In Ito mirror. “Oh. good Lord, look at me!"

she murmured: "Little things get them.” "Like what?" Ch* scrubbed at her face with a plec* of cleansing tissue. "Lika what?" he repeated. "Oh, like that nasty gorilla knocking down women and children to get the first taxi" He drew her towards him. "Good Lord, women!" She pulled hack. She raid, with a catch in her throats “Now, I know what you meant when you raid yesterday it all stinks and Chanel Number Five can't—" He put his hand on her mouth. Very clearly, every syllable separate, distinct, he said: "I don’t believe that any more.” Her eyes were large and round in the smudged heart of her face. "And why not?” "Because I’m In It Pm part of it” He could see she didn't understand what he meant and he tried to explain. "Nina, life's very simple. You're tn It You do what you have to the best that you can." “That's just words.” She shook her head stubbornly. "I mean something else. It was so good for a while. People were kind to each other. Considerate, helpful. Trouble brought them together. They forgot you forgot they could bo mean and oeiflsh . . . Then Larry Stengel camo in, talked about suing and lawyers—and—and I gagged.” The taxi swung into Fourteenth, began Its crosstown snail's crawl. He studied ths buildings a moment or two. No thought camo of Itself, by spontaneous combustion. You had to work it an out, word by word. He started again: "Dear, people don't change." He held her hand tightly. "There are no miracle*. P*opl* aren't reborn with one hit on th* head. They are what they are; they remain what they were. Even a small bit of bombing—” She cried: "Oh please," and looked mor* deeply hurt than his word* reem«d to warrant "I'm sorry.” Tha cab turned Into Fifth, rolled alowiy north. •There's the Flatiron!” he cried. "Hot dog! There's Madison Square! Gosh, I can almost see Empire State." Then he sighed. He wasn't yet free to enjoy his reunion with home. Something still had to be cleared for this girl. He said: “Honey, some people have stuff—stuff to grow on. When things happen to them they grow up. It has to HAPPEN, of course. You can't grow on sec-ond-hand experience. You might like to. You can’t You'd like to understand war, what It docs to people, by reading newspapers sr.fi seeing the movies. Lera painful that way. Th* sufferings of war in 10 easy lessons. Well, it doesn’t take." He shook hi* head and he smiled. "Yet even that even the meet harrowing experiences can leave people unchanged. For what we call tetter, I mean. Oh, they may get frightened, rese-itful, even bitter perhaps, but that's all . . . Now you take an extrovert like your friend BtengeL He did what was expected of him. He did the right things. But he stayed what be was. This was a picnic to him. Got a great kick out of carrying a etretcher. Made him feel like a hero. He'll be a social success for months with his story of what he saw and did .. . Now you take a tough son of a gun like Rauchmeyer. To him it was nothing but personal inconvenience ... You see. it's what's inside you that goes to work when there's trouble. The thing they used to call character. Now, take • you—”

She moved closer. put her hand on his arm. “Don, let me for once do something important I<et me take care of a soldier. ' Bhe wavered, aa if the next word* took more resolve than ahe had at that moment “Let me take care of a soSdier I love." He moved back. “What did you •ay?" ? aaid LOVE." The trace of a smile came to her face. “I wanted to aay it this morning . . . Ever hear it before?" It was bewildering and startling and dauling. A thing lay back in your mind, in the caves of your being, your moot secret hope, longing. wish, but until it was spoken you could always deny iL push it back, push It down. to spare your•elf disappointment er pain.
