Municipal and civic improvements are being discussed and those who give attention to these matters realize Riat Decatur lias a platter full of projects.

The Tribune's "states-| man" now likes to use that word appeasement under which he hid while the fire raged in Europe. —O ■ O - The city administration has tak-1 en steps toward improvement of the garbage collection service in the city.

Don't Neglect Ear Infection

By Harman N. Bundesen. M. D. OTITIS madia or infection of the middle ear. ia often dangerous not only because it may damage hearing, but becauae of three serious hazard i It may offer to life it self. Id the first place. tuleiliou in the middle ear may quickly spread to the brain, causing a dangerous infection of its lining membrane, called meningitis, or it may extend to the brain itself causing a brain abareaa. In other cases it may bring about the formation of a clot in one of the large reins within the uitnli. Result pf CoM Otitis media may develop us the result of a cold The middle part of the ear ia connected with the throat by a passageway known as the eustachian tube and germs can be forced through this tu>« by violent aaeesiag er by forceful blowing of the now Then. too. middle-ear Infection iaay develop during merndee. ta-

remainlag lavs will M those which must await the time when the end of the war is declared. o o Daniel Sprang who lived approximately 65 of his 92 years In this city, was more than half a century, a familiar figure In the business and civic life of the community. He was a kindly gentleman. reserved, but friendly with his associates and endeared by friends. In the retail mercantile field, manufacturing enterprises and in local banking circles, his ability as au executive and advisor was frequently proved. Even though granted a longer than ordinary life span, his death brings sorrow to bis friends and former I associates here. o— — o ■■ — According to Dr. Thurman B. Rice, professor of bacteriology and public health at Indiana University, proper digestion of food Is next to impossible without a peaceful atmosphere at the dinner table. Parents who are plagued by stomach trouble may blame the fact that the children's battles over the right to the family car and kindred controversial matters are fought out over the evening meal All too often the day's grievances are saved up to be aired around the table. Perhaps an ultimatum from the head of the family as to subjects fit for dis- I cneslon during dinner would re- 1 suit in better manners as well as I improved digestion. I ——o o— The announcement that The Citizens Telephone Company is planning a complete revamping and modernization of its communication system in this city and ww throughout the county, was receiv ed with more than usual interest by patrons of this progressive . utility concern. Preliminary plans have already been prepared contemplating the switch-over from the present switchboard operator, to the automatic dial system. Application lias been filed with the Indiana Public Service Commission. to investigate the plan and appraise the local properties, preparatory to establishing rates and other facts involved in the halfmillion dollar iuprovement. A new building that will bouse the telephone exchange in this city is also contemplated in the company's plau. Decatur is growing and with the demand for telephone service increasing, the officers and directors of this locally-owned . utility, hope to meet future ex-1 pension with one of the meet t modern and efficient telephone systems in the country.

the infection rapidly before it has time to invade the brain or other important tisanes tuggested Treatment The treatment suggested by Dr. Johnson la ng follows: If. on "lamination, It ia found that the eardrum is bulging, it ia cut open at once A culture is then made (mm the discharge from the ear to determine the type of germs present. and penicillin ia administered by injection into a muscle. The injections of penicillin are then repeated every three hours, day and night The amount depends upon the age of the patient and the severity of the condition The discharge from the ear will then clear up in about three days. The penicillin injections should he continued (or three to five days after the oer stops draining and the condition I* apparently cured. It the treatment is not continued in this way. in many instances the infection seems to recar. Penicillin may be given by UMMJU. but larger dosage is r» H j esLwyv id hm ■adltvlftnifoft.Aff’dMi 111

Cockroaches are very much attracted to damp brushes and cloths, and besides. they are very apt to become smelly and make one reluctant to use them again for cleaning.
