Right now it seems likely that, in addition to Its life-saving magic In heretofore fatal diseases. It will prove a great boon in banishing the h<mt of nagging little infections which keep so many of uh below par. Only a short time ago many people hesitated to take penicillin for these minor ailments, having heard that its nse In thia way might cause them to develop a tolerance which would make pencillin useless In the event of some later, serious Infection. Fortunately. recent research has disproved this. Hence, today we feel free to use penicillin to clear up colds, sore throats, sinus infections and other ouch trouble makers. Properly employed under the direction of a physician it Is valuable not only tn the first stage of a cold but in the secondary phases when such germs as streptococci become intrenched causing the run-down condition associated with colds which & "bang on." Drs Richard G. 8. Meadley and Harold F. Barnard of Knglaud have recommended that penicillin in the term «t labiate or aa a

Hundreds visited the open house over the week end and within a short time most of the houses ready will be occupied, it was a big undertaking and Mr. Worthman and hla associates are tc be congratulated on accomplishing so much in so short a time under present conditions. o 0— Seals For Health The little Christmas seals are making their appearance again. This year marks tha 40th annual sale of the stickers for Christmas letters and packages, a fund-rais-ing device by the National Tuberculosis Association, Inc., to help stamp out one of man's oldest diseases. In every 100-seal sheet, this year,| there is Incorporated as a center block the photographs of three men and one woman, a tribute to those who helped to launch the real idea. They are: Jacob Riis, Danish-born writer who told American readers alxiut Denmark's inauguration of the seal In 1904: Emily Bissell, who, in 1907, raised several thousand dollars for a tuberculosis sanitarium in Delaware by selling rod-cross decorated stickers; l>igh Mitchell Hodges, editorial writer and columnist on the old North American Review, Philadelphia. and £. A. Van Valkenburg, its editor who Hodges persuaded to support the 1907 seal sale. Included in this galaxy well might have been Inar Hollboell. Danish postal clerk who in 1903 seems to have started the whole idea by selling letter stickers for an anti-tub-erculosls campaign. These humanitarians started a fight that ia far from won. More people died from tuberculosis in the last four years than were killed in the war. Tuberculosis still kills more people between 15 and 45 than any other disease. Almost 9,000 World War 11 veterans are at the moment in tuberculosis hospitals. No one is safe until everyone is safe, from this persisting illness Christmas is a strategic time for this health-fight carried on by the pleasant symbol of the seals.

, snuff be used In the treatment of nose and throat Infections. The snuff Is used for nasal conditions. It is made up of penicillin In sulfathiazole. It is kept in a small bottle, the metal lid of which has a hole tor pouring. A small amount is poured onto a piece of paper which is creased from corner to corner. The patient holds his head back and holds one nostril closed with his finger. The snuff Is then tipped from the paper into one nastrll and the patient sniffs it In. The process is then repeated on the other side. The film of snuffcoated mucus secretion lining the nose Is slowly carried by the little hair-like structures in the nose, called cilia, to the throat and back part of the tongue. Tests made showed that from one to four hours after using the snuff, penicillin was still present in the throat secretion. The snuff can be employed together with the penicillin tablets whkh are allowed to dissolve in the mouth. This method of treatment was employed on a number of patients with nosd and throat infection It 1 was found that the treatment 1 brought quick relief from symptoms and no harmful effects of any kind were detected.

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN DR. FLEMING came the next morning. He was a tall, too thin young man who wore glasses ami who looked weary and overworked. After he had treated Lydia he 1 said, "Get up when you feel like it. But of course make the moot of your illness. You girls always do.** Ha went out aa if a breese had swept him out and Chris went with him. When Chia camo back ho asked, “Feeling better, darling?” “Oh, much.” She reached for his hand and held it “It's just occurred to me that Christmas is coming. But every day since I’ve been with you has been like Christmas so that I have to remind myself that the conventional one is almost upon us. We'll have a quiet one, won’t we?" “It's what I'd like, a quiet one. . . . And I notice that you keep the door of Kirby's room open now. When we first came home it was always closed. Frances kept it closed, didn't she, and you opened IL" "Yes, I opened it. It isn't a room of the dead. It's a rc< m for the living. P’s still Kirby and Alan’s room, only Alan is a very little boy now." She was conscious then of a quietness between them, as conscious of that as the pressure of his fingers on hers. But his thoughts had changed. He was thinking of last night, of having driven the car and before that when he had said, “I don’t drive any more.” . . . They were both thinking of it now. “Yes. I did it," he said. “I CAN do IL Lydia. I HAD to. .. . That’s bow I've got to think about the rest of it . . . The things I read are going to STICK and not dissolve. . . . I'm going to learn how to HOLD my thoughts . . . HOLD them. ... I'm not going into research. I don’t belong there. . . . I’m a trial attorney. ... I’m going back where I belong—in a courtroom. . . . Last night I knew I had to . . ." “Last night you knew you could, Chris!” "Last night I knew that the way back from the front line is often longer than the way up to it" He bent down and laid his warm face Close to hers and the pressure of bis fingers hurt here. “But on the way back, however long It takes, I am not alone." No, not alone, she thought But when you go into a courtroom again, Chris, when you limp in, Kwlll be fighting TWO cases, case of the person who hires you and your own, the case of the wounded soldier who became a handicapped civilian. . . . However long it takes. . , . But how long will it be before you in a court of justice become the embodiment of all the hurt young men who come home from war to fight another battle and this with your lonely self.

High Army Leaders Planning To Retire Leaders Express Desire To Retire Washington, Dec. 10— (t’P)— Rome of the nation's top bracket military leaders are giving serious thought to retiring and turning over their posts to younger men. informed war department sources said Aday. Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, army chief of staff who >» now In Florida for treatment of an old arm ailment, tops the list of those who would like to retire. Another was said to be Gen. Jacob L. Devers, 59, commander of army ground forces. Although the ad-year-old Elsenhower wifi not reach the statutory retirement age until Oct. 31. 1954, he is eligible to retire at any time he chooses under a 1935 act of congress. Thia law elates that an officer who served prior to Nov. 12, 1918 may retire on his own application at 75 percent of his base pay in bis permamenl grade. Eisenhower holds the permament five-star grade of general of the armies. The generals who fought the war In high commands admit they are tired. They are beginning to long for quiet places where they can take it easy and stay away from a telephone. Many of them have stayed on this long because they felt it was th»‘lr duly. But with the post-war reorganization period rapidly drawing to an end. many of them feel they have done their duty and can retire. If Eisenhower retires, his logical successor, according to war department sources, would l>e Gen. Omar N. Bradley, now veterans administrator. But If Bradley also ehould choose Io retire soon, many look with favor on Lt. Gen. J. l-awton Collins, now war department chief of public relations who served brilliantly during the war. Gen. Carl Spaatz. commander of the army air forces, is eligible for

She had grown 1 jealous of their solitude together, 1 a thought occurring more than once that in their long unlnterrupt- 1 ed days they had been luckier than moot people. The sounds at first so i unfamiliar in an unfamiliar house sho knew now and listened for, the chimes of the grandfather clock in 1 the downstairs hall, the whistling < winter Wind and Chris’s favorite symphony played over and over. These were the sounds of hotne, the sum of their living together, the manifestations of their oneness. And she had grown jealous of this because here there was no alien voices to divide her happiness. Yet it was only temporary because the outside was there and could not forever be ignored, the outside of business and people, the hubbub of modem life. One had to be so integrated as to be able to go out and meet the world and to keep thia cloistered sweetness, too. She went down to ths living room. To see him so young, so splendidly endowed and trying, trying so hard to put back into himself what the war had taken away seemed often not to be borne without tears in secret There were some women, she thought who willfully kept themselves at a distance and willfully withheld the perfect surety of their love. But with a man who has been to war and who has been wounded and who has come home, love was not merely a provocative game to stimulate the senses. He who had lived so long among uncertainties —even the caprice of the weather sometimes meant life or death--needed ths absolute certainty of her love. And this morning, as they had been for weeks, they would play games, simple games of gin rummy and Chinese checkers. By beginning with these simple games, by reading a little each day, by rest and by the healthy routine of his country life Chris hoped to restore the retentive powers of his mind. It had not been easy, this little that he had accomplished. Some days he could joke about it, but on other days he would pass his hand over his forehead and say. "I'm afraid it’s no use today. My thoughts go off on tangents. I’ve read a page of this book, but 1 can tell you only a fraction of what’s in IL I read words, but they don’t ' sink in. I think I'll go out and walk a bit." And he would leave her feeling empty of heart, knowing that the sum of his endeavor was pitifully little. The design of her thinking was momentarily interrupted by a rush

McNarney, commanding general of U. 8. forces In Europe, also ia eligible to retire In the grade of major general but do»w not reach statutory retirement age until Aug. 31, 1957.

of feeling. The Uttls things, the little things of living with Chris, watching his hands as he turned the pages of a book, as they held and lighted a cigaret, the strength of his arms and shoulders, his knowing touch. He closed the book and said, “I’m afraid this is going to be another bad day for me. A fine day on the outside—the sun is actually shining—but Inside my mind needs old-fashioned flypaper.” “You don't want to see a doctor about it, Chris?" He shook his head. “The doctors have all they can do with men who need them more than L I’ve seen them in hospitals, the bad cases, but they always wanted the doctor to pass them up for another man who was worse. This is something I've got to work out for myself, Lydia.” “Perhaps you’re trying too hard." "Perhaps. But I’ve a living to make and obligations. I've given you nothing since we've been married and every week draws upon our little capital.” "We could let Frances and Isaac go. I can do the work myself." He ahook his head again. **l know you can, but give me a Uttle more time." ♦. Uttle more time. ... If only the time could be free of economic pressure and responsibility. He would have the time, but It would not be free. There was a deadline: when their money had been spent Mrs. Charles Harding, the wife of the senior partner, had telephoned a week ago asking them for dinner tonight and the theater. And since it would be late to come out to the country by train, Chris had reserved a room In a hotel for one night Thinking of it now, she hesitated to remind him. Mr. Harding would be sure to ask when Chris was coming back to the office. Perhaps to him Chris had had sufficient time to adjust himself to civilian life. “Chris, we’re going into town tonight to see the Hardings. Had you forgotten? If you’d rather not go, you know . . "But I would. I want to have a talk with him. They're a nice couple. You’ll like him. He'll talk about the office and she’U talk about her clubs and children. Their three daughters married Navy men." “And well change in a hotel room and I’U aee you in a dinner jacket.” Then she said. “You mustn’t go back to the office until you're r<ady. Everything can go, Chris, the house, Frances and Isaac, everything, but you mustn’t go back until you’re ready, please." He smiled. “And Hl sea you In a dinner dress. Didn't I see a red one when you were unpacking? Wear that I like you in warm colors." He would not let her see that he was worried nor how keenly he felt the pressure of time. (To ■*> Continued)
