Use of Diathermy Treatment

By Herman N. Bundeten, 0. MODERN engineer in? has given medical science ninny of its best weapons against pain and dieease. One of those is the diathermy machine whic.i generates a current capable of pawing through the body and producing heat in its deeper tissues without burning the skin. In previous articles I have often spoken of the benefits of diathermy. In bringing heat to otherwise inaccessible parUi. diathermy assists Nature's own restorative processes by speeding up the flow of blood to the tissues and thus making possible the swifter carrying away et wastes and the bringing of new materials for repair. Use of Diathermy Dr. Connoil G. Garrenton of North Carolina has outlined the various conditions in which diathermy may be found useful. In the treatment of sprains, he says that it is ad visible to use cold applications at first. This will help to stop any bleeding that may be present deep in the tissues. After the finst day. however there is a collection of fluid in the tissues, together with some swelling, and these symptoms may be helped by the application of the diathermy. The heat produced causes the blood vessels to dilate, increasing the flow of blood and promoting healing The heat also given relief front paui. The uealmeais. aa

A "Landlord's Union" has been organised In Fort Wayne. They will not boost rents but will try to hold the rentals now charged. They state there are 205 apartments vacant In Fort Wayne because the owner* refuse to lease at 1 the old rates. Looks kind of foolish for the loss ot a few months rent will amount to more than the gain in higher rents would be. — --O- O'—— Warnings have been issued by the police to those* who make a ! practice of shooting firearms along the banks of the St. Mary's river where it passes the Stratton Place territory. Several workmen there report narrow escapes as bullets whistled by. to close to their ears for comfort. The east side of the river Is now quite a busy place and will continue so as the addition is developed. It's no place for target shooting. O o "Indiana faces conditions that are no less than critical. It is » Progressive state and it must go forward. but it cannot afford to progress along a route that practically threatens the roof over every citizen's head. This is why taxes have become the personal problem i of every citizen. They menace old age and present a barrier to youth, yet taxes are something that we must levy and collect — they are the life blood from which government dravA its strength. Bilk there may be such a thing as high governmental blood pressure. We suspect that we are approaching that danger point now. If so, it is time we diagnosed our ills and did something to cure them." — Albert H. Cole, President Indiana Tax Payers Association. o—o Bonds For Christmas The government has some excellent suggestions for the Christmas list: United States savings bonds, the popular "E" group. These are to be had for 918.75, 937.50 and 975.00 with the assurance that in ten years they will be worth 925.00, 950.00 ar.d 9100.00 respectively. The Treasury Department has been pushing the sale of these bonds tor two reasons: to distribute among as many citizens as possible interest payments on the public debt; to check inflationary pending, important at this time of excess consumer incomes. It would be difficult to think of a gift more acceptable or more appropriate no matter who the recipient. Jt would be doubly welcome, first when it is received and secondly when it is cashed in increased value. Since in addition the bonds also help the nation, they should have a wide appeal for the Christmas stocking.

rule, are given daily for 20 minutes until the symptoms clear up. Inflammation of the lining membrant* around the tendons which connect the muscles with bones is known as tenosynovitis. Thio condition may arise from infections and injuries. Dally dia- . therrny treatments of 20 minutes will often give surprisingly good results in this troublesome disorder. Value of Diathermy The value of diathe-my in the treatment of chronic arthritis or I inflammation of the joints, as well as fibrositls, which is inflammation of the connecting tissues in and around joints, is well known, according to Dr. Disraeli Kobak of Chicago. Diathermy, however, has other usee, such as the relief of pain produced by pleurisy, which is an inflammation of the. ' lining membrane of the chest. It 1 is also used In the treatment of inflammations of the nerves, In feei tioiw of the sinuses, and backache. It is not to be expected that diathermy treatments will give results in a day or two. It should be borne in mind that they act by speeding up the flow of blood to the tissues which aids In carrying away wastes and bringing materials for repair. The treatments are easily carried out, are in no way dangerous, and are one of the doctor’s beet weapons against ' many UltUmmatioM.

Extreme Cold Wave In Great Lakes Area Temperatures Drop In Northern States By United Pres* An extreme cold wave, breaking ' out of the northern Yukon terri- 1 tory. swept over the Great Lakes 1 region and Ohio valley today and I moved toward the lower Mississippi valley and Atlantic coast states. 1 Temperatures tumbled 20 to 30 1 degrees over the entire northern 1 half of the U. S„ falling below zero ' It, areas from the northern Rockies 1 to Lake Superior. 1 The mercury dipped to 16 degrees below zero during the night at Pembina. N. D., and two above at < .Minneapolis early today. The temperature was expected to go to five above at Chicago by tomorrow. In contrast. Laredo, Text had a high of 83 degrees yesterday and temperatures in the low 60’s were reported as far north as the Ohio and lower Missouri valleys. The weather was fair and comparatively mild on the Pacific coasL The cold wave came in the wake . o: the most severe storm ot the year on the northern Great Lakes yesterday, the day after the close of the navigation season. The center of the storm began moving northward toward James Bay during the night, leaving behind a crescent-shaped band of new snow across northern Michigan and ito the northernmost sections of Wisconsin and Minesota. Nine inches of snow were iecorded at Sault Sainte Marie. Mich. The weatherman said the cold spell would last at least until the latter part of the week, when temperatures would return to normal. Clear skies and diminishing winds accompanied the new cold, with no further enow in sight except for a few squalls on the north and east shores of the Great Lakes.

Church Page Author Laudi Development Os Stratton Place Rev. D. Carl Yoder, author of the Sunday School comments which appear In thia newspaper every Saturday on Ute church page, has a word of admiration for the Stratton Place housing development, east of the Monroe street river bridge. Rev. Yoder evidently received a copy of the eight page supplement which John R. Worthman. owner of the modern subdivision, published In the Decatur Daily Democrat on December 7. From Pasadena, Calif., where he spends the winter. Rev. Yoder peus the following postal card; "I want to congratulate Decatur In having such practical men of Ifrlon as to do something about the housing condition instead ot talking it only. “I trust other towns will do likewise. Send some of your housing promoters out to California where many must live in trailers, as we must do.” Yes. Decatur is growing and the fame of the famous city is spreading across the nation. Mr. Worthman really deserves the orckid. — -0 Plan Experts Panel For Labor Disputes To Seek Peaceable End To Disputes Washington, Dec. 17 — (UP> — The labor department soon will establish a blue ribboned panel of labor relations experts for assignment to major industrial disputes, It was disclosed today. An official of the department said the project would be discussed at today's session of the labormanagement committee which advises the conciliation service. The committee will be asked to nomin-' ate members of the pane). New labor department efforts to promote peaceable settlement of disputes coincided with a statement from AFL president William Green that congress soon would be > considering "highly objectionable anti-labor legislation." Green's warning came in a letter urging AFL affiliates to put their protests against such legislation before members of congress. Recent moves* of the labor department — aimed at improving labor relations machinery — also appeared to l>e an attempt to head off legislation. The prevailing view among government labor officials was that legislation would be ineffective in preventing most strikes. The labor-management advisory committee for the conciliation service said Sunday night that compulsory arbitration or "super- machinery" would not contribute to labor peace. It argued that disputes should be settled through collective bargaining with the government performing only a mediation role. Endorsing several special mediation techniques, the committee urged the establishment of a panel of men "nationally known tor their work In labor relations." It was revealed today that the labor department was prepared to carry out tHat recommendation after further consultation with the committee. Among probable nominees for the panel are William H. Davis, former chairman of the war labor board, and Nathan P. Feinslnger. former public member ot the war labor board. Both have been enlisted for special mediation jobs thia year by secretary of labor Lewis B. Schwellenliach. Davis was assigned to the electrical manufacturing industry dispute and Feinsinger to the west coast maritime disputes and to the Hawaiian sugar strike. Panel members probably would not be assigned as specialists in particular industries, it was said, although they might be chosen for some cases because of specialized backgrounds. Green's letter to AFL affiliates expressed fear that congressional attempts would be made to change the Wagner lal>or relations and Norris-Laguardia antl-Injunctlon acta, to restrict the right to strike, to outlaw closed shops and to enact provisions similar to those In "the notorious Case bill.” Faces Long Sentence For Express Robbery Greenfield.

CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR LYDIA ASKED. "Where were you on your last trip, Wade?” "Faria. Faria and back. Short tripe now. It give* me more time to cool my heels in Kirby's living room. Fortunately the chairs arc comfortable and the Scotch is excellent and Celia, the maid, liken me. I can’t aay aa much for Theo. She wouldn t know how to be rude, but 1 don't think she cares much for wings. 1 leave Theo totally cold. It hurta me.” Kirby aaked, “How do you know when he’s telling the truth, Lydia V "I’ve never been sure." Wade said, "And she waa a poor gueaaer.” Hie smile upon Kirby waa full and tender. "I'm tired of asking you to have dinner with me. Now I*m telling you. And don’t put on another hat. I like that one.” “It’s Mother’s," Kirby said. "I think she wants to wear it tonight" Then they had been seeing each other for several months, Lydia thought. She tried not to look surprised and puuled and concerned. Kirby had enough on her mind without the burden of distrust that went along with caring for Wade. If she cared. "Another door will open." ... Wade waa always opening doors for girls, but he never closed any. He never finished anything. He had never been faithful to anything but an airplane. And he never married them. How many girls had been between her, Lydia, and Kirby on whom his Interest was obviously fastened now? There waa an elusive quality to him that made you feel that if you tried to hold him fast, he and Ma ch.rm would vanish and you would hear only the ghost of his laughter, laughing at yoq. But if Kirby cared for him, it was not apparent Her attitude with him was the same as it waa with Raphael, teasing, almost boyish, and keeping her distance. Lydia asked, "Have you seen Alan, Wade?" "Have I? I’ve bounced him. He Is, in truth, a bouncing boy." What did Wade feel when he saw Kirby with her sou, a child who looked not like her, but like his father—one of those who did not come back. Kirby said, "Alan likes Wade’s mustache. He never takes his eyes from it Ha thinks it’s terribly funny." That Kirby had not told her of seeing Wade seemed to prove that she didn’t think it important, Lydia thought She asked him, "When do you leave again? Is it Paris and back this time, too?" He chuckled. "Ycu’re not trying to get rid of me by any chance, are you? Pm leaving tomorrow or the next day." Lydia asked, "Have I aaked you before, Wade, what you're going

to do when you leave the service?" “What do you think I'm going to do? Im going to fly. Do you think I'd do anything else? Put my feet under a desk and push buttons and go to lunch at one?” Kirby said, “Do the thing you were meant to do.” He smiled at Kirby and leaned forward and looked at Lydia. "You see ? Kirby understands me without trying. She accepts me as I am. I've told her that if a flowerpot ia going to fall out of a window it always falls on me. She's a realist. She has no illusions about me. 1 don't have to live up to any ideal. I can relax and be myself." Lydia's dark eyes met his. “What has always puttied me is what you are when you wake up in the middle of the night and you are alone with yourself.” He laughed at her aa he reached for (he check. "I never wake up. I’m a very sound sleeper.” He turned to Kirby. "If you must give your mother her h t back, don't wear any tonight” Lydia picked up her gloves. "Don't let me interfere with any plans you want to make. I'm going to the station and home.” Even this little while away from Chris she missed him. Wade said, “Kirby never makes anp plana for the afternoon. She bounces the bouncing boy. We'll pick up a taxi and drop Kirby off and I'll see you to the station, Lydia. Okay?” When the taxi reached the apartment house and Kirby stepped out, Wade said, “I’ll see you later. You haven't been telling Lydia -bout our unorthodox little dates, have you?" Kirby smiled at him mockingly but kindly. “There was nothing to tell," she said. When she had gone and the taxi was moving again, Wade said, "Don’t come to any conclusions and don't be hard on me." The seriousness of his tone made her turn her head to look at Mm. He asked, "How else can I treat her? You tell me. I'm afraid I don't know the answer to this one and if you're in the mood for a last laugh, go ahead and have it now.* "Are you trying to teU me that you're in love with her, Wade?" "I don’t know. Maybe I’m afraid to commit myself because I'm not getting anywhere with her. Maybe I don’t want to be second choice. Maybe I'm bolding out for something that can’t happen to girls like Kirby and fellows like me," "What do you mean?" "I mean the war. I mean Tve seen too much and know too much and Kirby has lost too much for us ever to have any up-ln-the-clouds romance. People like us won’t fall in love. We might grow in love. But I’d still be second choice. But the war has made everfootlooee rhapa Uke me see that domesticity has its virtues. There must bo somethtag.to lt,.you think,
