80/7s Are Caused By Ger m Infection

By Herman N. Bundesen, M. D. BolliH are d«« to an infection, usuaiiy with a germ known mm slaphyiohtM-cus aureus, but why boil* should plague some people and leave other* alone la a n’ill unanswered question. It would, however, la- logical to seek the answer in some factor which might make the afflicted individual overly susceptible to infection. Thus Dr. it J. McNeill Love of England thinks that th> development of boils may result from generally poor health, overwork and fatigue. He thinks that such things as too little food, the abuse of alcoholic beverages, and the lack of fresh air and exercise may be contributing factors. Other suggested causes are chronic kidney disease, Jack of enough protein in the blood or the presence of an excessive amount of suger in the blood. Hair Root Infection A boll la an infection around the root of a hair or in one of the fat glands in the skin. It starts as a small red swelling which gradual ly becomes larger and more painful. After two or three days, the center becomes soft and a white top develops. This top treaks open •nd Infected material is discharged.

A gift of early baseball books, just made to the New York Public Library, includes an 1H35 children's book, with an illustration showing boy* playing iraseball on a diamond on Doston Common.

Space must be found for 1.15" airplanes to alight. Os these, l.uou < ivilian planes and 251) military craft can be landed at the Cleveland atr|s>rt. The rest will lie parked at 20 smaller airport- within a radius of about 30 mile . Hpecial arrangements will be made to provide safe anchorage for seaplanes in the harbor on latke Erie, Automobile parking, tight as it Is in most cities, was never quite like this. A driver may have to leave the car several blocks from his point of business, I,ut we have yet to hear of one stranded in the next county.

BolU may occur in special locations such as at the root of an eyelash In such cases they are called sties. Roils in the outer ear canal are extremely painful because the skin is attached to the underlying cart) iage and the swelling caused by ! the Infection put* a great deal of 1 pressure on the tissues. Dangerous Complication There are certain complications ' of boils which are more dangerous than the boll Itself. These include an inflammation of the skin known as cellulitis, inflammation of the lymph gland* called adenitis and the development nt a number of secondary bolls to infection of nearby hair roots or fat glands. In the prevention of boils, the gem-ral health should be built up. Vaccines sometimes may be help ful. When a boll first starts. X-ray treatments may bring It to a head more quickly, or cause It to disappear without ever coming to a head. It has been suggested that in those who have boils fr«iuenily, the use of penicillin may Im- found advantageous. Ultra - violet ray treatments also may be helpful as a preventive measure. Certainly, boils are so painful annoying and disfiguring that so effort, either to clear them up or to prevent their recurrence, should be spared.

LHAcrr.n inartit NEIL WINSLOW met Flo in the lobby of the Warwick with the tame hearty handclasp she had given her the afternoon before. "Shall we go up to my room? Wo can talk more comfortably there than in the cocktail lounge. Wait . . . I'll order something sent up. What'U it be? Dry Martinis V “No!" Flo gave it emphasis, "Not after yesterday! I’d rather have coffee, I think. Iced.” When they went up to Nell Winslow's room, she looked around it with a lively curiosity, expecting to see it different But except for the papers scattered over the small desk and an untidy bureau, it had the impersonal look of every hotel room. “Sit here, Mrs. Cooley. First thing—may I call you Flo? Do you mind if I clean up a bit? I came in only a few minutes before you." Nell went to the bureau and began to rub cream into her face vigorously, continuing to talk as she did so. "You look so cool! I’ve always envied women who can keep that look.. . . Cigarets are In that box there on the table—help yourself. What a day! I’ve been In your library most of it, researching on Midland, Ohio. Actually, a trip to the spot couldn't have been hotter! Some benevolent and rich old citizen should air-condition ft as a memorial. Know any such ?" Flo laughed. “Well, there’s James Muir—my mother’s boas. He has the money but I'm not certain of the benevolence. ..." She had taken a cigaret; she relaxed with It tn her chair, in a lighter mood than she had known for a long time. “I’ll have to take that idea up with your mother. She’s pretty close to him, isn't she?" Neil eat down in a chair opposite Flo's. "Have you ever been to Midland?” The picking’s begun, thought Flo swiftly. But she was only amused. And she liked the completely frank way Neil Winslow went at it J Just once. When 1 was six years "You don’t re Bomber your grandfather?" "I never saw him. It was his funeral we went to." Neil Winslow reached for the box on the table, took out a cigaret. She smiled at Flo over the flame she struck for St “You’ll think I invited you here just to pump you! And I probably will! But I really do want to know you. ... I watched you yesterday for quite awhile before I spoke to you and—well, I liked you. I’m not often disappointed in my first impressions!” "1 hope you’re not thia time," said Flo, flushing a little with pleasure. "And remember bow quickly I said I'd eome!" "Despite Cole. . . . Seemed to me he used rather a proprietary manner. Hope I’m not offending you!” Neil smiled, but her eyes on Flo were keenly observing. "Not in the least," said Flo quickly. "I’ve only known Mm a few weeks. He has no .reason to speak—as if he owned me!" •It’s away of his!” laughed Neil Winslow. She added then. 'He can be charming when ho wants to bo! Good company, too." Flo remembered what Neil bad of "starving’’ with Col*. It suggested some intimacy between them in the past; her tone now was afleetlnnauiv rsmlnlseent _

rio wunea sue wuuiu say mute. But Neil Winslow said, with some abruptness, "This story I’m doing of your mother—l'll admit to you, I'm in a blind spot! You see, I started out to make her a glamorous character; a torchbearer, showing the way to other women. Corny, 1 know, but that kind of thit% goes with the mass mind better than a long story of frustrations. Well, it was going all right until suddenly it came over me that I was feeling sorry for her!’’ "Sorry for my mother?” Flo cried it Incredulously. Neil Winslow blew a ring of smoke, followed it with her eyes. "Yes. Though I haven’t figured out just why. Don't look so shocked!” "I'm not shocked," said Flo. Then she said, "I don't think my mother's ever been really happy." She stopped, surprised by her own words, for not to her knowledge had she ever before had a thought concerning her mother's happiness. It was as if Neil Winslow's directness opened doors in her own understanding. "Well, why not?" demanded Nell, her brow creasing, “Anyone'd say she had all it takes to be happy!" “I don't know. I don't know my mother very welt" Neil Winslow smiled, reached for a fresh cigaret, lighted It from the old one. “You're like your mother—the frank way you said that! And what you said makes an interesting situation. Mind if I go into ft? I’d have thought that you, ths older daughter, would have been closer to your mother, especially after your father died and she came here to Stanton.” "No. It was always Charie." Flo said It calmly. "Even when I was little I knew she did not love me os she loved Charie." She had forgotten that old conviction. Dragged up now out of the past, it sounded embarrassingly like a bld for sympathy. But Neil Winslow offered no sympathy. "Os course Charie was the baby." She gave her quick, deep-throated laugh. "Here I go! And don’t answer me If you don’t want to. Were you hurt? Deep inside you. the way a child suffers?" Flo was silent, tMnking back. Then she shook her head. "No, I don't remember ever feeling anything about it” She added, "Perhaps I wouldn't let myself—couldn't even a child build defenses against hurt?" “I suppose so.” And now the older woman's eyes held some compassion. A knock sounded on the door. Without stirring from her chair, Neil Winslow called, "Come in," and a waiter appeared with their coffee. Flo was glad of the Interruption, for she was beginning to feel a little like a guinea pig on a dissecting table. To her relief, Neil did not return to her questioning. As they drank their coffee she talked of her recent week In New York, the hours she had quarreled with Guy ' T ho waa writing her "Joyful Fie’ds" into a play and changing every character in the process. ’' • Glddl ng« could do It far better!
