Victory Again For Pencillin

By Herman N. Bundesen, M. D. WHEN the marvelous healing properties of pencillin were first discovered. supplies were so short that mercy demanded they be used only against violent, acute and fatal infections. Today. fortunately, there I* more than enough of this yellow angle for the very ill. and so doctors have been able to teat its effects in other tots dangerous*ailments. Otte of these, in whicn recent work with penicillin seems boi»'ful is lironchietasis. Bronchi Enlarged In bronchiectasis the bronchi or the small tabes In the lungs, through whllh air passes, are en larged There Is a combination of inflammation and wasting of the tissues, with the result that scar tissue may. in time, replace the lining membrane In various spots. Symptoms are usually confined tn bouts of coughing during which a great deal of sputum with a bad odor Is brought up. Once started, the disorder grows progressively worse, until at last, the patient may be made miserable by the persistent cough. Ko far as Is known, there I* no way to restore the normal st ruetare of the bronchi once bronchieetasis has developed. Hut according to Or. Sydney Bresin and his ewworkwa of New York, treatment with penicillin does much to check the symptoms. Their work gives hope that in the future this dteeAM may be controlled before permanent damage to the bronchi has been done. Three wars of aduuautcruig ’ a f w tree w wrw

and the conservation league I* enthusiastic. There Is only one l.lmlterloai and It should Im preserved In memory of Gene HiraiI. ton Porter who discovered It and told about It in many volutnn* of * i story. Option* <m l*nd are being t taken and plana to finance the • Improvement are under way. . The |II fair and Youth Week 1 celebration was a -ui-ceaa. Il was not a carnival or u midway show but a gathering of the boys and girl* of the county, who have been ' doing things and who wish to take J part In the future of Adams county and they hud a good time. The program was tarried out a* an- > nounci-d and the winner* given rlblsms and premium*. Hundreds I who visited the display room* were phased and surprised at the excellent work iMiing done along the line of instructing the youth .Il ihe county. Those in charge are anxious that th«- work go on and that plans be made early that the next show can be made even more interesting and helpful. Ours I* a great community and we can I make It better by encouraging the boy* and girl*. o —o Returning Dimes In the current polio epidemic, i the .March of Dimes is paying off. i In every community where children have been stricken by the disease, the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis is at hand, to help with money, with equipment, with nurses. The foundation, established In I*Bl by President Roosevelt, I* supported by public contribution*. In every county the funds raised are divided into two part*. Half goes to the national organisation, to be used for research, for aid during epidemics, ami for education of both public and professional nature. The other half stays in the area where it was contributed Here, in 3.00 b county chapters in the United State*, the funds are used for -hwmediate local assistance to ! victims of polio. The chapter ofj flee* provide resprator* and any other equipment needed by hospital* for treatment. They pay hospital expense* tor families who need help, ami they expect most families to need some financial aid. They pay for special treatments, and for transportation Io and from hospitals and clinics. They keep(lose truck of the patient*. even| to the stage of helping them get job* when they have recovered. No family need worry ulmut the financial burden of infantile paralysis. Because the people of America have given generously to the annual March of Dimes, those dimes are ready to help them.

the penicillin were tried by the New York doctors. It was given by injection into a muscle, by breath Ing It Into the windpipe and j bronchi. and by a combination of these method;’. The treatment was caried out on ten men and two women. The patients varied in age from 16 to 30 years. X-Ray Diagnosis The diagnosis was made In every case by means of the X-ray. Before the X-ray was taken, a compound of iodine was Instilled into the lungs to make,the bronchi visible In the X-ray plate. The bronchiectasis developed following pneumonia in ten of rtie, patients and after whooping cough and Influenza in the other two. The symptoms had been present for more than ten years in all but two of the patient*. The length of treatment varied from four to 115 days. It was found that best results were obtained when it was given by breathing It into the windpipe. As a result of the treatment, it was found that the amount of sputum was considerably lessened, its odor was removed und there was a great improvement in the symptoms. These changes were maintained as long as the penicillin was continued. When - the treatman!, was stopped, the symptoms tended to come buck again. It seems that in control’ll* bron< bl*<ctasls It mny be necessary to continue the penicillin treatment indefinitely., but in view of the good results obtained, such treatment would appear worth while, •

LaFollelle Seat At Stake In Primary rr. Wisconsin Primary Holds Top Interest By United Press Neu Robert M. Ist Follette, veteran leader of the old Progressive party, faced what may be the most crucial test of hl* long political career in the Wlscou*ln primary election today. LaFolletU*. who led hl* progress Ives back Into the GOP last Man h.i Is running lor nomination under the Republican banner for the first time. The Wisconsin primary I* the top contest in today's balloting in three state*. Vermont and South | Carolina, the most Republican and the most Democratic state* in the Union, also hold primaries today but a senatorial seat is at stakeIn Vermont only. In that Republican stronghold, where nomination I* tantamount to election, Ralph E. Flanders. Springfield manufacturer, and Nterry R. Waterman. St. Johnsbury lawyer, are running for nomination to the senate *eat vacated by Warren R., Austin, who was named U. H. delegate to the United Nation* security council. LaFollette'* principal opposition comes from Joseph R. McCarthy. 37, of Appleton. an e*marine cap-1 tain who received the endorsement of the Wisconsin GOP organization convention. Perry Stearns.

Three congressmen face opposi tion in Houth Carolina which is holding a strictly "white primary". The state repealed It* primary law* to Clrcument federal court ruling* that negroes could not be barred. State official* consider the I election strictly a party affair and I outside of federal jurisdiction. Rep. Butler B. Hare i* op|>osed by W. J. Bryan Dorn in the third district; Rep. Joseph R.

I ■ i . CHAPTER SIXTEEN •; • DOUG WAS rising to his feet, hii glass in his hand. *T think a • toast to our bride is in order!" He bowed to Charie. "Ail the happiness in the world, my child!” Other touts followed with increasing laughter. l . Cole touched his glass to Flo's. "To us? Monday evening? At my apartment?" She had gone there with him from the rehearsal. She had let him kies her and had found it soothing to tho strange desperation that was In her heart at the time. But now she remembered it with disgust for herself, for him. She drew her glue from his so quickly that some of ' its contents spilled on the doth. "NO!" He gave her his smile of seeing Into her—to the rotten in her, she > thought swiftly, and turned her ‘head so that she need not meet it. 1 She heard her name. Now it was Ollie on his feet. "I say, here's to Flo! This is a pretty swell party!" Every glass was lifted, every 1 face turned to her. In answer she ’ forced her gayest smile, a wave of ' her hand. Then she drained her own , glass, motioned to the man serving to refill ft. Cole wu still smiling. He thought . she'd ccme to his apartment, Monday evening, in spite of her violent refusal. And probably I will, when Monday comes! She felt a little shiver of fear again, and lifted her filled glass and took a deep swallow from it. "Trent! You've scarcely touched your champagne.” She beard her voice unsteady. Trent would think it wu the champagne "Don't tell me you’re a never-touch-the-atuff kind! I couldn’t love you then!" "I'm not, so go ahead!" He raised his glau. "Here's to whatever!” Tho doors leading to tho terrace were open when they went back to the living room. "Can't we dance out here, Flo?" asked Ollie. "There’s a moon . . . it's perfect!” iThen he caught Charles hand and ! led her out to dance. Flo put her hgnd on Trent's arm. ."Let’s." Trent hesitated. "I'm not so good Pat thia." "It doesn’t matter. Just move." She felt the strength in his arm u he guided her not too confidently among the other dancers. She I {thought. You've married a strong , man, Charie! You can't make a fool out of him! Dan wu strong, too! And suddenly it wu Dan Colburn's arm around her, not Trent's. It wu that hamburger place out on the River Road. As they were leaving It, someone started the juke bok inside and Dan put his arm around her and said, "I've never daneed with you.” They danced, then, the gravel rough under their feet but Den's cheek against hers. Dan humming the words of the music, "Just as you are tonight." Remembering, she felt all the blood in her veins rushing to her heart and', then away, leaving her 'faint, and she leaned her weight against Trent, miming her step. He looked at her curiously “Enough?” ' "Yea. You ARE pretty bad! You must see Arthur Murray about It!" She WU trembling and she kept her hand under Trent’s arm to | steady herself. 1 "Shall we go inside?"

Just then at the other end of the , terrace she saw Ollie refuse to let i Jack Waring cut in on him and ■ Charie. There was something too possessive In the way he did it and Flo said quickly, with an urgency she could not have explained, Trent, take Charie home!" Trent laughed. "What's the idea ? • She's having a good time!” Flo pulled her hand from under i his arm. “You think I'm tight! i Maybe lam ... to care!" She went in alone through the i wide doors. Ollie, drawing Charie closer, ■ murmured into her ear, "Don't you i know that this is the way it should ' be, darling?" “Ollie, don't say things like that. And I wish you had let Jack dance with me!" Charie made herself i laugh up at him. Trent wu watch- ' ing her—he must see her laughing, as If Ollie had said something very i funny. • “Your mother and I had a heart to heart talk tonight, Charie.” "How dare you," Mid Charie, shakily. “You let us both down. Isn't it to te expected we'd talk about It?" "Not mother! She's too . . ." But she stopped, for they were close to the comer where Trent wu standing. "That ring, Charie . • . you can call it my wedding present to you." Ollie had meant Trent to hear that, she knew. What did that chap mean about a ring?" uked Trent when Ollie left them. Charie’a heart missed a beat. She could not tell Trent the truth, not now, not here. He would surely wonder why she had not told him before. "Oh. that wu Ollie's nonsense. He’s like that.. . . I’ve known him for ages. It wu a ring in a birthday cake . , ." She wu appalled at what she wu saying, even while she spoke the words. She caught his arm, "Aren’t you going to dance with me?” "I wu thinking •, , couldn't we skip away? Go home?" In her reHof Charie pressed against him. “Trent, it’d be nice if we drove Mother home!" “Okay, you uk her." But Mary Patten told Charie that OiUe wu taking her home. Her eyes shadowed with a sudden wistfulness. "Why don’t you and Trent come over and have dinner with me tomorrow?” "Mother, we’ve bought a chicken, xcu see, it’s our first dinner!" Charie flushed a little, for tho very •light curve of her mother's Hps made what she had said sound too naive. “And Trent may have to w °rk. “id something about IL" Then some other time. Win you and Ollie for me and tell him . . "Tell me what, Mrs. Patten? Whats all this, anyway?" OUie caught Charie's elbow. "You're not letting us down on a promising evening. are you?
