Treatments For Plantar Warts On Feet

By Herman N. Bundezen, M. 0. Moat worts are nothing to ■worry about. They may be a Mt disfiguring aa tong as they last, but they usually don't last long, baring a marked tendency to disappear on their own without treatment, if they don't, there are a number of easy and painless ways to remove them. There fa one type, however, known tw a plantar vart, which occurs on the note of the foot. Not only is such a wart painful. but it often is difficult to eliminate. Burned Off In some Instances, the wart may be gotten rid of by employing some acid or other substance to burn it off. Treatment with the electric needle ia also satisfactory In certain cases. From to to *<> percent of the cases may lie cured with X-ray. The X-ray treatment is painless, short in duration and ease, provided It is carried out by an export who ipaws what dose of X-ray to employ. According to Dr. James A. Dickson of Cleveland, Ohio, these methods, no matter how skillfully employed. fail to bring about a cure in at least one out of 19 patients Sven after several years of treatment, in some instances. an eitrwasely painful area remain* oa tie sole of the foot. An ulcer or •ore develops wMch aot only at-

If we work *| together we can have the mosl t prosperous era ever known In this r - country or the world. « „ I- The meat situation Is serious • GPA celling prices have been re I stored to prevent increased prices ; to the consumer. During the per lod when the board was idle prices r soared and bogs and cattle were , sold extensively. Now that the regulations are again in force there Is little livestock going to mar- • ket. Packers have announced they will cooperate with the government but they fear the black market. Consumers who pay more than ’ the celling prices for articles are hut helping those who thus engage In Illegal business. It's a critical 1 period and one that should cause ’ people to think more about next week's supply than todays. o —o — A 4,300-pound meteor, imbedded 35 years ago in Michigan swamp, has been moved by aid of horse teams and tractors to a spot near the city of Munising, where it' can It* viewed more easily. University of Michigan scientists say , the "star'' contains iron, mang-j utiese and other metals. According to one theory, these stellar rocks. | made of m<-tals pulled out of the' sun. have been drifting in space since the earth was formed. In' a belt they circle the earth and are drawn to it by gravitation I when they come within its orbit. Most of the rocks are white hot and consume themselves before they reach the globe. Queer, isn't it. to think that star dust is molten iron! — o o—■ Shortage Pressures One of the chief troubles with production in the I'nlted States Is that eveiy shred of raw material has an onslaught of people trying to get their hands on it. Every bit of timber capable of becoming a board, every pound of metal, every screw has countless mills and manufacturers trying to snatch It off to make something with It. There simply aren't enough materials to go around this year, so the competition lakes on the aspect of a nightmare In which everybody races around in a maze and few come out the right end. Most of the demands on small stockpiles are entirely legitimate by normal standards, but this year is far from normal. Attempts to establish priorities according to importance of work inevitably bring hardships to some- business. if anyone could figure out a simple way to harness all the energies wasted in struggling to get materials, and channel that human power into the actual production of more materials, this would be a happier world.

fa ts the skin, but extends Into the deeper (issues. Treatment in such cases with X-ray and other meth ode may only make the condition worse. Surgical Removal In these caaes Dr. Dickson believes that the only method of treatment which will be successful l« complete surgical removal of the wart srea. In two of the patient* he treated, the wart was located just back ot the second toe. In order to get rid of the wart area, it was necessary to amputate the toe and the bone back of the toe known as the metatarsal. He has performed thia operation in many cases with egeellant result* In all instances. When thia operation is done, because of the location of the scar the weight of the foot is not thrown on the scar tissue If the area ot skin in which the wart is located were merely removed. a scar would form on which the weight of the foot would be placed, and thia wbuld tie painful, furthermore, the scar would be likely to break down. The operation with removal of the toe does not interfere in any way with the normal action of the foot. In view of the serious problem which these plantar warts present when they <•» aot Beal H *ouM seem that the operation for Uwir removal is worthwhile.

Register Firearms Here On Thursday A representative of the V. S. I treasury will be at the city hall Thutwday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. to register automatic firearms local people own. chief of police Ed Miller stated today. Federal la* requires that all tirearms of the automatic type, Much as machine guns, machine pistole, revolvers, or any such weapon. even though brought into this country as a trophy, must be registered with the government Failure to comply dubjecta the owner to a 12.000 fine. "Since the beginning of World War 11. many such automatic firearms have been brought or sent into the country aa war trophies by members of the armed forces, d*nd a large percentage of persons having these firearms in their pansarolon are not informed of the registration requirements. J "The government does not wish * to deprive veterans of their trophies, but is anxious that ail persona having such weapons be informed concerning the registration requirements In order that they may comply with the law and thus avoid possible future embarrassment. "Already, a number of persona have been incidentally killed as a icsult of handling or playing with those war trophy firearms. Such accidents can be avoided it the firearm is rendered permanently unserviceable, and this can be accomplished without marring the appearance of the trophy. The alcohol tax unit is anxious to assist any bne Who desires to render his war trophy firearm inoperative. Once this is done, the trophy may be displayed without (ear of injury or death to anyone inspecting the weapon." p_ S«n. Taft Ta Speak At North Manchester Noifh -Manchester, tad..

Well-Dressed Couple Clips Merchants On Punchboards

An apparently wellttHlo. well- a dressed couple left Decatur last •* evening as inconspicuously as they |i had entered, but quite a bit richer ii and with a tew local merchants quite a bit wiser. t It all came about something like t this; . * Several of the city's eating and , drinking establishments offer for | the entertainment of their cus- ( toiners a little "gismo.” known . as a punchboard. To while away the leisure time , waiting for a sandwich, soft drink , or glass of beer, it is th<* custom of participants In the game to use I a little wire thing, commonly < known aa a ' punch'' to do just what the name implies — punch. In this case tightly rolled piece, of paper bearing numbers arc pun< hed out of their tiny compartmenta on the "punch board " Now. certain of these numbers are 'lucky ’ ones, and 1f the "puncher'' gets a lucky one. he is privileged to punch a punch from a special punch section.

And tell, me, does your nice husband approve of your doing this?" Once the husband of a young woman she had hired had come in and made a most unpleasant scene, before two of her good customers. She did not want to riak that again. Flo hesitated, confronted by the choice she must make on the instant. With Doug away for two months It would be quite easy to evade telling Madame Tegier the ■rue tacts. But after a moment she answered, with a lift of her head, T’m leaving my husband. That is why I am looking for a job." Immediately Madame Tegier was forced to make fresh calculations. There’d be considerable gossip over • split up between two such socially prom'nent people as Mr. and Mrs. Douglas Cooley; curiosity would bring women in here to see her. . . . It might heighten that aloofness about her that Cerise Willed snootineas but which she herself thought of as distinction. . . . She would still be the daughter of Mary Patten. Madame Tegier herself, over the years, had abandoned three husbands, so it did not occur t« her to offer any word of sympathy. She eaid.

She saw one on Peach Place, and remembered her scorn at Charie's going there. For a moment ' the Impulse held her to go straight 1 down there and rent the room ad- i vertised. “That would discipline me!" Then at once she saw It as dramatizing what she was trying to do and drew in the leash on herself. At the very end of the column was a room at the Canterbury Club. This, she knew, had begun as a Women's University Club but it had not offered enough social life to compete with other women's clubs in Stanton, and its membership had dwindled until it was forced into bankruptcy. Then a group had bought it for a residence for employed women, glorifying it with the name It bore now. It was within a few blocks of the shopping district Flo got up from her seat in the booth, paid for the coffee, and went out to the street She found the room that had been advertised not much bigger than her former clothes closet It had a wash basin and running water in one corner, a couch-bed In another, a maple Bureau and table and chair and a green-painted tier of bookshelves. But it was only six dollars a week. “I’ll take it," she said to the manager of the chib. “We have to have a reference of character." explained the manager. She sent a bored glance over Flo. "Would Madame Tegler's word do? I begin working for her tomorrow." Flo’s lips twitched a liti tie. “Or 1 could get one from Bishop Carr. . . i "Tou're working for Madame > Tegier?
