Washing Irritates Ecze ma

By Herman N. Bundesen, M. D. SOAP AND WATER are good •kin cleansers, and ordinarily, neaißy everybody prefer* their uae to that of any substitute. be* cauae of their invigorating affect. Sometimes, however, in canes where there ia a disorder of the ■kin. soap cannot be lined because it may cause further irritation of an already irritated akin. For example. in eczema it ia better not to cleanse the akin with soap. Sulfated Oils It has been suggested that what are known as sulfated oils are lens Irritating, since they are not as alkaline an soap, and alkaline may Irritate the skin. These sulfated oils do not form a lather, but they do clean satisfactorily, tiecause they take up the oils of the skin, and various types of dirt can then be easily wiped off. In fact, these sulfated oils can be used not only tor cleansing, but also for remov fns ointments which have been put on the skin. Eczema affecting the outer ear eanal is similar to eczema of the skin. In the ouftr ear canal, there Is not only the problem of cleansing the skin without causing irritation but removing the ear wax or cerumen. Dr. Robert P. Little of Ke* York suggests that a mixture of

He is Robert Lit--1 tlejohn, new War Assents Administrator. A former major geni eral and Chief Quartermaster, he wants to he called plain civilian ■ Mister" now. In military days he used to load himself with Gl ’ equipment "to see how It feels." ’ Now he token his place in a surplus property sale line to learn how much red tape the veteran , has to unwind to buy the Items > offered. I o o / With almost every commodity decontrolled by OPA the 1,642 boards which tried to enforce it and did a wonderful Job during the war period have been dismissed, making idle some 8.600 employes. These have however been promised first chance at other Jobs as they open up. Higher prices on shoes and other articles are expected to result but competition will no doubt soon bring reductions in these prices as they . have for other items. The public 1 has demonstrated they will not ’ pay exorbitant prices. The OPA has done a good Job and those who worked at it deserve the sincere thanks of the people. — o o Not Enough, Yet Excerpt from the October news ' letter of the Indiana Employment Security Division: "The Division's Research and Statistical section estimates for September show 18.2 per cent more wage earners in Indiana;m>lls manufacturing employment in that month than in September of the preceding year, a rise from 54,264 to 61.161 twelve months later. "Manufacturing pay roll estlmates ran 36.4 per cent higher in September, 1946, than in the same month a year ago. Indianapolis weekly pay rolls in September. 1945, were estimated at 52,082,* 796; by September, 1946, the weekly pay roll was around 52.841,813.” It is reports on the local and national economy, similar to the above, that prompt Jenner, Republican nominee for United States Senator, to ask: "Gosh, Folks. Aincha Had Enough 7" He Is having a tough time convincing people with money In the bank; with Jobs; with their future economically secure and with the many other social benefits derived from Democratic legislation ot the last fourteen years that they have "had enough." For his information, about the only time within hfs memory that "folks" have had enough of anything, has been since an aroused electorate kicked the Old Guard out of office In 1932. No. Mr. Jenner, wo "ain't had enough'' of Democratic prosperity.

sulfated oil, liquid petrolatum and I water may lie used for general cleansing of the ear canal; especially when it is dry and scaly. The mixture can be used equally well whether the skin is wet or dry. After It is applied to the dry skin it may be washed off with water. Soften the Was In getting rid of wax In the ear canal, if it Is hard It may he softened over a period of a few days by the nss of drops of olive oil or glycerin but. even better, the sulfated oil may be employed. After the wax is softened, it can be removed by syringing the canal with warm water to which baking soda and the sulfated oil have been added. Os course, when eczema of the external ear canal occurs, it is a good idea to consult an ear specialist concern in if the moss effective treatment to be cd. He t will prescrilie the proper oltments to be used to soothe the skin. Sometimes, X ray treatments •re also of value. However, no matter what treatment Is employed. there will always be the problem of keeping the ear clean, and it would appear the sulfated off mixture ts quite useful for this purpose.

CHAPTEB THIRTY-FIVE MADGE AND Duncan cam* to J town and opened the apartment. There were parties, theaters, the 1 usual round when Barry was free. ( Abby completed her Nurse's Aide | course and worked at the hospital the nights Barry was at the university. But they often went to Fairton for a winter week-end. They drifted into it... an urgent note from Vai, a telephone call, or she might appear at the flat without warning. She’d corralled a general, or it might be a rear admiral, ; she had the most interesting member of an underground, coming for a week-end. strictly incognito, of course. They must come. So they went, and the country was clean with snow, pure on the mountains and the rolling foothills and the trees, and almost before ' they knew it they would be there again. Fewer of Vai’s former friends appeared, and in their places notable people with stability and substance. If Abby protested, Barry would say, "But you have to get out, and see people, darling; you can't stay cooped up here all the time." So she stooped protesting. She told herself, it was people he liked, all kinds of people. He had immense fun on the week-ends, ar- ' gutng, listening, talking. He attracted all types, with his warmth and vitality and .alent for friendliness. And Vai said seriously, “It's good for him, Abby, the more Influential people he knows, the better." She had to admit that, hating, however, to hear it from VaL But it wasn’t until early spring, until she and Barry had been married almost a year, that she realised she was deeply, starkly afraid of her father’s wife. , March was an absurd month; March was warm. March ran a temperature and people dragged ' off their coats, put away umbrellas, and looked fagged and irritated. In the country the grass I grew green and high, flowering shrubs burst into premature bloom, f and the birds came winging back. Madge left town and took Dun- > can with her. He complained mildly that Fifth and Park were Just ( beginning to be fit to walk upon again and be had spent hours practicing a long, low whistle. But Madge said firmly that he could whistle in Hot Springs. She had been feeling rheumatic, she told Barry and Abby when, the night before her departure, they dined with her. She wasn’t opening the Fairton place for summer until the end of May. She had refused 1 to consider the winter in Florida ' for reasons both personal and pa- - triotlc. But now a spot of Hot 1 Springs was Indicated. "Besides," r she added, "we might as wen be I there for all we see of you ~. you , hardly ever come up here, Abby. and week-ends you are too busy being the devoted daughter." ’ Abby said, ’’Barry likes going up 1 —there's always something going Madge swept Abby into her and ordered.

Abby*s eyes widened. She re- i pealed, "Corrupting?" i "All those fantastic people, all that attention— ■ Madge made a 1 gesture—"it can’t bo good for him," I Abby said defensively, "He isn’t ■ neglecting his work," 1 -Or you!" "Os course not I expected to be alone a good deal when be started to study law, and although he’s less active in this district than j before election, be still attends , meetings." Madge said, "I am fond of you, < and know belter than to stick my , neck out, but someone saw Barry , lunching in town with Vai last . week and took pains to tell me about IL" - Abby’s face was pink. She asked, , "Why shouldn't bo lunch with , her?" "An admirable attitude," agreed Madge, sweeping a lipstick expert- , ly over her mouth, "but did you know about It!" “Naturally." -Then," said Madge, Tve been In a needless tizzy. But Just the same, watch yourself. That girl is poison." When they were home, Abby said, as quietly as she could, "You didn't tell me you lunched with Vai last week." "Who did?" demanded Barry, prowling around the ice box. “Madge's food is good," he said parenthetically, "but not particularly filling; too much on the souffle side." Abby was considerably taken aback. She said, "Someone saw you and told Madge." “The grapevine," said Barry. He found a hunk of ancient cheese, a bottle of beer and crackers, and sat down at the table, "Join me, Mrs. Lambert?" She shook her shining head. “Barry, why did you?" she asked. He looked at her a moment, his black eyes thoughtful. He said, “So Tm to account for myself." "Na But Vai—" she sat down on a straight chair—“and you didn’t ten me. I told Madge you did." "Darting," he said tolerantly, "I know my way around, even with VaL We have an anniversary coming up. I spoke of it to va! the last time we were there. She asked what was I i3 ing to give you? I said. Lord knows She said she’d happened to see something that looked like you. ... I said. Okay, lead mo to ft. We made a date; and she did. She has good taste." -You have, too," said Abby gravely, "and your mother.” Barry moved his shoulders Impatiently. “Don’t," he suggested, “be a dope. Incidentally, the project had your respected parent’s blearing. He knew about it It wasn’t a secret—except from you." Abby said stubbornly, -Vai could have told you where the shop was —she didn’t have to tag along." "Maybe not, but Tm lost in the mazes at an antique shop, and a poor bargainer., Vai’s competent So I sez to her, TH buy your Ittoch and you’ll take me shopping and if you tell Abby IH cut your lowgy white throat’ But now you know, and that" Berry added. “is irritating. tarryT" "No." said Abby.

"So 1 still can t see why i yo>< are promoting a acene because I take her to lunch!" "I’m not" said Abby. "You are. After all you’ve said—" “Such as—" -You don’t trust her," repeated Abby; “you believe she’s up to something; you want to find out what it la— ■ "TH never find out,” said Barry, "by remote control." He rose and pushed his chair back. hard. He said, "Did you never have lunch with someone you didn’t trust?" -Often, when we go up to Fairton.

Abby said, -You’ve always liked her." "Sure. I think she’s a hussy. I thought so before she married your father and I’ve seen no reason to change my mind since. But that doesn’t prevent me from liking her. Why should it? You're being childish." Abby went out of the Httle kitchen and into the bedroom. The incredible heat evaporated at night It was chilly now, and damp. She shivered and the tears were thick tn her throat After a little while, Barry followed her. fie pulled her to him roughly. He said, “Abby, do grow up." "Because I don’t like you lunching with Vai—that’s not adult?" aba inquired, stifled. He laughed and his anger was gone. -Perhaps ft isn't On the other hand, It’s flattering." He kissed her. He said, "It was fun. rather. Vai complained a little of her role as old man’s darling, in an Oblique sort of way. I didn't rise to it I won't say I wouldn't be interested In details, but I thought, better not Then she tried to find out from me if you were In an interesting condition.
