It's A Killer Still

By Herman N. Bundesen. M. 0. MANY people can scarcely r<--member the dnyw when tubercii loklk wax known and feared ax •"The Great White Hague." h might be well if they could, for we should never lose sight of the fact that this once moat-dreaded of all diseases remains a killer still. It Is true that we have been able to reduce the number of its victims very materially during i the past 40 years. We have learned , how to take better care of those’ who are not spared. Death in 1940 And yet, despite ail this, in the last year of peace. 1940. well over 50,000 people in the United States died of tuberculosis. And now, as always in the wake of war. tuberculosis Is on the march again. The greatest safeguard the poo pie as a whole cad have against It lies in early diagnosis of those cases which occur. It is here also that those who arc afflicted find their best hope. The earlier the condition Is diagnosed and treated, the better is the chance that it can be checked or arrested Early discovery means that less damage has been done, hence, less time la required for healing. Thus, a shorter period of h<upltaliMtkm is required and arrest of the disease Is brought about at a lower coat. Public Protection 1 Early diagnosis also means bet- i ter protection fer the public. The patient's family and friends can fbe kept out of contact and the - ' | spread of tuberctllorfs from person < to person lessened I Dre. Isidore D. Bobrowiu aadi (

Welcome Boys And Girls The Youth Movement in Adams > county will be observed next week by the staging of the most elabor-' l ate I II fair ever given here and 1 in this edition numerous Indus ! ' tries and business houses extend 1 ' good wishes and a hearty welcome i for nil participants and visitors. Those who have sponsored this event belie ve* It will help to inI spire the boys and girls as well j a* their parents and friends to . continue their efforts to produce more and better livestock and' other farm products. During the past decade much j I progress ha- been made by the ' I II dubs here and over Indiana j These organizations are now a' realg.art of etch community and members derive much pleasure 1 from social events, trips to fairs, and otherwise. Best of all results obtained now prove the benefit of intensive farming and of trying out new methods as suggested ; by leaders from Purdue and else-. w here. A sincere welcome Is extended Io every visitor to Decatur next: ' Wednesday, Thursday and Friday when the young people will have the keys to the city. Wo hope the weather man behaves and that the- Youth of Adams county enjoy the best celebration ever. Head the program and the announcements of those supporting i this important event and then take part. It should prove an eye opener for those who think that a carnival Is necessary to make a fair a success.

Ralph E. Dwork of New York have made a study of 200 patients to , determine the factors that aid the | phy-Irian in making an early diagnosis of tuberculosis. Os the 200 only 37 were without some symptoms In the early stages of the disease. The symptom most commonly present was cough. Others Included expectoration, loss of i weight, pain in the chest, weak- * uesa, fever and night sweats, in a i few cases there were hoarseness. I pain in the bask, headache and sleeplessness. Often, the patient is not conscious of his symptoms or ascribes them to some’ condition other than tuberculosis. For example, the patient often thinks that the cough Is due to smoking, and that fatlgne and lo**' of weight ar» the result of overwork or not eating enough of the right foods. Rut. of course, whenever such symptoms are present, a careful study hy the physician should be made. The study should include X-rays of the chest. X-Ray Examination in over 99 per cent of the cases these physicians believe X-ray examination of the ch-’sl will make it posaibh- to diagnose tuberculosis when It is present. In fact, they Insist that no patient should be told that tuberculosis is absent unless an X ray of the chest has been ( taken. If tuberculosis can be discovered by simple X-ray of the chest, then U goes without saying that when •ver it Is even remotely suspected that X-ray should be made, and made promptly. *

And even if he did—” She let the flowers drop from her hands to the table; some fell to the floor, but she left them there. “What are you and Trent going to do now?" -Why—" The color deepened on Charie's face. “Live together. Where Trent lives. Down on Peach Place." She saw Flo's astonishment and she added, "It's sweet—there’s a strip of park and big old trees and the houses are big and old." "Simply idyllic!

She felt as Flo so often had made her feel, even when they were children: "As if I were simple!” Trent was waiting for her outside of Lorenzo's. “Mrs. Renner, I believe!" His hands took hers, his eyes possessed her. She breathed, “Oh, Trent!” And everything but the fact that they were together vanished from her mind. They said, “Hello, Brisco," to the old waiter who always came to. them. He took their order, went off to the kitchen. “Trent, Mother knows!" "Good work! It needn’t be a week, then. Tomorrow ?” He spoke matter-of-factly, but his look on her set Charle’s pulses racing. “I broached it to Riggs this morning. ... She wasn’t very keen, but she’ll not want to lose me.” “Trent!" Charie had a sudden Inexplainable feeling of wanting to hold back. “Trent, not tomorrow—not untU we’ve talked to Mother.” Trent looked at her, his brows pulling together. “Why not? She knows we’re married; she’ll expect we’ll live together, won’t she?" "Os course. And we’U decide what we’re to do." She spoke quickly, as much to assure an un-

easiness in herself as Trent “It’s just that it would seem kinder to ... to talk It over with her. That’s all I'm suggesting. She was sweet last night And she must have felt hurt—" “Weil, then, you tell her we’re going to live there on Peach Place.” His face cleared, but Charie’s clouded. She remembered Flo’s comment on Peach Place; her mother might say something like that She wanted to talk of something else. “Trent, my stater’s going to give a dinner for us. This Saturday evening. To—to announce our marriage!” “Great Gosh!" She laughed. His dismay was leas alarming than his frown when she was asking him to take her mother into their confidence. ■Trent don’t tell ms you're antisocial!” "Not a Mt I like people. But 1 don't Uks 'em in crowds, like Steve Allfree got together that day.” “You found me there, Trent!" His eyes on her darkened. “Yes. I saw you across the room and I fell in love with you. And I love you more with each hour I live.” ■Trent, that’s sweet! But • . • not so loud!” For BrtscoL Mr- ng near by, i was smiling. Trent motioned to him. "Brisco, Is there anything against telling your wife you love her In a public place ?" Brisco blinked. "Your wtfe, stat Don't know that there is, sir. Coneratulationa. air."

Trent leaned across the table. “Shall we Invite him to dinner some night, Charie ? b I should think It'd be quite a treat i, to a waiter to sit as a guest at e someone’s table." • “And have someone waiting on him,” added Charie, laughing. e Trent was joking, of course.

When she returned home, Nettie met her with a message , from Ollie Kingdom He had come t tn by plane; he would be around : by 3 o’clock. Nettie's face, as she repeated IL had an expression that ’ said, “So, now, Mire!" It was a quarter to three. (Ta Bo Continued*
