Symptoms Os Intestinal Ulcers

By Harman N. Bundeaen, M. 0. ' "I'LCERATIVK COLITIS" is al disorder w<» arr all likely to hear more about from now on Imm auae a large number of our service men. particularly those who served in th<> tropics, are returning with this condition. * In this disease tho colon, or large intestine, is inflamed and actual sores or ulcers form at various spots along the tract. Though most dot-tors are agreed that infection Is the basic cause of this ulcer formation. It is sometimes difficult to say exactly what sort of germ is responsible. Some believe that streptococcus germs are the chief offenders, but many other organisms, including amoebae and dysentery germs, may also cause ulcers to form in the large intestine Symptoms Described Symptoms consist of diarrhea or frequent bowel movements, cramping pains, biood. purulent material and mucus in the bowel movements. There are also usually some fever and an increase In the number of white cells In the biood In order to make a diagnosis of ulcerative colitis, an examination with a sigmoidoscope I* usually carried out. The sigmoidoscope is a tube with a light which can be passed Into the tower bowel, making it possible to examine the Itojftg membrane of tht Intestine dl rectly. X-ray examination may •Iso be helpful in telling when uL curative colitis is present. In treating ulcerative coitus acto TbomM A.

than a million dollars for a school lunch fund and Increasing payments of payments for old age. blind persons and dependent children. It the governor and hjs aides ran hold the assembly to those Items and the "on the Job ’ program for veterans, the session may prove helpful. o O— — Back In 1934 the poneervatlon department "plantnd" thirty-five deer in southern Indiana, bringing them from Wisconsin and later added 127 more. Now. there are more than 3,«00 ringing around Orleans ami other towns down that way. Farmers complain that they are damaging their crops and want something done about It but the law dess not permit killing d»er In this state and the depart meat is at a loss what to do. Some times we get what we don't want. o o Almost 10.000,000 of the estimated 11,950,000 discharged servicemen are employed. An addi-

tional 600,000 are in schools or colleges. The balance, 1,300.000 are taking their terminal 30 to 90days rest, or are employed. Those figures are from a recent Department of laibor announcement which adds, "The nations employers have done a surprisingly good job in absorbing the returned veterans.” The Bottle For Peace Today, only a year after the official end of the most terrible conflict in history, a world barely { started on the road to recovery Is sickened by omens of more and worse to come. Tanks are rolling In 1 the Middle East, guns roaring from Trieste to China. Barbed wire rises daily around more Inhabitants of lands ‘freed’ by years • of bloodshed. • To this stale of affairs there I can be only one of two ends. . There can be more war, worse than has yet been seen, which will leave a few human survivors | exhausted beyond ability to rebuild. Or there can be a real and lasting peace, so strong no one will dare to violate it. Construction of that peace Is in the hands of a few men sitting iti the im eting- of the I nlted .Nations, and in the Peace Conference in Paris. They are human brings, tired of war, of struggle with problems of survival in ravaged countries, and last of ail, of the constant verbal wragling in their meetings. It would be easy for them to give in to gain a little rest. Yet that they must not do. They will have to deal strictly with such thorny dllemnas as Trieste, YugoI slavia, and the Danube, implementI Ing decisions with the power already given the United Nations by their separate |>eoples. Unless they make a strong peace and enforce It, there will be none at ail.

ci th»- Medical Corps of the United Stales Army, the patient's mental attitude f Important. Patients with this condition who an- troubled with problems of one sort or another must be calmed and encouraged Diet of Little Roughage The diet should consist of foods which furnish little roughage but which are rich in calories and proteins from such food* as meat, milk, and eggs. Some iron-con tainIng preparation, as well as vitamins should be administered, particularly If the patient sppears undernourished. In cases of severe diarrhea. It may be necessary to give the vitamins by injection under the skin since, when taken by mouth, they may not lie absorbed from the bowel. The giving of blood plasma by injection into a vein, as well a* amino acids by injection may also be helpful. Amino acids are the substances from which proteins are made. All of these things are wbai doctors call "supportive." that is. directed toward Seeping up the patient's strength. They do not attack the disease directly. This can be done only by means of certain drugs, which may serve to kill the offending germs. What drug to use and bow to use it is of course, a matter for the doctor s decision in the individual case. Some of the sulfogaaides such »s ■ulfvttam.dlne and suliMuxidipe have proved useful.

Replace Communists In Ukraine Area Charge Breaking Os Rules In Selections Moscow, Aug. 23 — Il I** mass replacement of Communist party leaders In the Ukraine was reported today by a member of the all-powerful Politburo, who charged that executive bodies there broke all the rules In the book when selecting the leaders. N. 8. Khruschev. Politburo members and first secretary of the Nkralnlan Communist party, disclosed the sweeping reorganisation of Communist leadership In the Ukraine. He said It was on a longterm basis and still continuing. The Communist party organ Pravda published the report by Khruschev. which went Into detail on the shortcomings of party leaders and fundamental mistakes made in their selection. Khruschev told the Ukrainian central committee at Kiev that in the last 13 months about half of leading personnel had been re-

piaced. The percentage of turnover tan as high U 91 percent Ini the presidents of the executive | committees of regional soviets In ; the Sumy area. At the game time all Moscow newspapers printed an announce-, tnent that M P. Smirnov, soviet minister of meat and dairy Industries, had been dismissed. For some weeks reports have I published here of a sweep Ing purge of Industrial executives throughout Russia on charges of | graft and the padding of produc-, Hon figures Because of the absence of adequate control by central committees, he said, district party committees and other groups broke all the rules of personnel eelec-j lion. In many cases, he said, selections were made on the basis of personal relationships. He severely criticised the Ukrainian central committee tor the type of personnel assigned to the western Ukraine The central committee, he said, frequently assigned incapable and politically Illiterate persons to important . jobs. 0 Defective Seek lowa Exhumation Want Body Os Another Alleged Poison Dead Indianapolis, Aug 23 —(I'Pi—i Two state police detectives were in Burlington, la. today seeking legal permission to exhume the leidy of Mrs. Hattie Calhoun, for nier Dupont, Ind . resident, Mrs. Calhoun died in 1937 while under the care of Mrs. Ixittic Ixxkman.

CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE "BUT WHAT have you found 1 >ut, Trent? What'a your lead?” He hesitated for a moment. *Tt*f between us, remember! To go back —I asked Storer to let me use my own noae, in tracking it down. 1 didn't have much more to go on at first than a few hunches of my own The project was backed by very representative citizens, not a lot of crackpots, and the Council was for It—you see the Council has to vote an appropriation—and everything was going ahead, architects and contractors were working on it, and then, suddenly, It stalled—the Council simply pigeon-holed It up. And, logically, for the benefit of someone on ths outside . . Ho did not notice that Charie looked only puzzled. He went on, his voice still harsh. “There’s al* ways a pattern set by those who've tried it before. The trouble with crooks in public office is that each one thinks he’s smarter than any of his predecessors and nine times out of ten ho isn't He pulls the same old stuff. And the pattern's this —one of those chaps on the Council Is taking money to hold up the project, maybe slipping some of his swag to a few. . . . I've been studying the records of all of them. 1 felt pretty sure 1 knew which one to suspect and after tonight I know I’m dead right. Councilman Geisel was fighting just a little too hard to have Tony MaceHl’s license re* stored to him! And Tony's is the worst dive in the Tremont section. So you see . . Charie shook her bead. “I'm trying to, but I don’t see!" Trent brushed his lips over her hair. "Just a dumbbell, aren’t you? Well, I might not see It myself, If I hadn’t had the inspiration to talk to Brisco. Brisco knows Tony's, all right, it was running wide open through prohibition time, he says. You can be sure Tony paid well for such police protection. He’s still paying for it or he wouldn’t get away with his different rackets. And it stands to reason he isn’t the only one prospering by it. Re doesn't own the place. No one owns bis own place, down there. Every lousy, rat-infested building along those streets was bought up quite a few years ago by the Queen Qty Realty Company -and who Is that ? One man. Hl bet my shirt! Who’s getting a dam sight more from renting those squalid dumps and what Tony and a few others like him hand over, than the dty’d pay him on the property’s assessed value. Probably a prominent and respected citizen, if it follows the pattern. Perhaps a few are IncorC rated with him, dummies, but a the master-mind . . “It’s like the crime stories on the radio,- laughed Charie. She was catching something of Trent’s exettement even though she could not “P ftwai of the ehate. "Report to Stew tomenow. 4. rjai a « hri>* ma jmar Qtsi Ghaztet aantiaa m!

ert O'Noal Md a request for eg- t humatlon from distant relatives of Mrs. Calhoun, now living In Burllgnton. might be sought. The police flew to Burlington last night. Mrs. Lockman remained In Wirt. Ind., with a daughter. Bhe was freed on |15.6«« bond until the October term of court In Jofforson county.

McCammon eald she first met her present husband and he worked for ( her first busband on a farm. That was 40 years ago, she said, and she hadn't seen Jess since then until a few weeks* ago.

fall. We’ll start a campaign ot stories—right off. Brisco is going to spend a little time around Tony's —no one will think he's anything but a souse lapping up his beer. He may see Geisel drop in. And I'll find out more about the Queen City Realty Company . . “You'll write the stories, Trent?" "Who else?" Trent grinned. "My name in a by-line, Mrs. Renner!” Pride in him shone on Charle s face. Then a sudden thought struck her. 'Trent, after you’ve written them, isn't Mr. Storer sure to raise your pay?” And her mind flew back to the dream it had been shaping. Trent laughed. “What a mercenary woman! I can’t let the chief think I’m doing this Just to get ■ raise! I’ve got to sell him on the idea that It's a public service. As it definitely Is , . "But Trent . . Charie stopped to marshal the arguments she had had ready, earlier tn the evening. "Aren't we getting along all right?” demanded Trent with some anxiety. “Yes. I meant , . But Charie felt her heart pounding too bard for her to go on. Trent came to her. "If you mean living here, darling—we're not go* Ing to for very long! I promise you that. I know you don’t like It and you've been a dam good sport, pretending before me that you do. 1 guess I was asking too much of you. You see .. J- Ho grinned down into her face. "I have to team a lot of things about married life, if I'm slow at it—charge It up to lack of experience!" "Well . . Charlo’s laugh burst 'ron. a heady relief that there need be no argument between them. "I haven't had any, myself!" "Just a couple ot green ones, aren't we? Know what I’m going to do now, Mrs. Renner? Run out to the delicatessen and bring back two big ham sandwiches and some cold beer. I'm hungry—don’t remember eating any dinner. Where'd 1 put my coat?"
