Another Use For Penicillin

By Herman N. Bundesen, M. D. Penicillin is never more life >av-1 ing than when used ag.iiust baiter-1 ial endocarditis a serious infection i of the In an valvt s and lining mem-1 brane if is canned bv one of the "etrep” g.| ma known as green streptococcus. or. more technically, as Sireptococ.i us viridans. Formerly, if these deadly germs entrenched themselves on the heart valves, no treatment could rout them and the outtome of the disease was always fatal. Now, if penicillin is given truly and in la go enough doses the majority of cases can be cured. Prevents Case Developing Moreover, the Use of penicillin helps prevent a great many cases from developing. The hesrrt which has been previously damaged by rheumatic fever seems especially subject to invasion by sttrep viridans. Tiiis germ is often 'found in the mouth and air passages. Here it doe- no particular harm. But if it geiri into the blood stream, the story is different. Such a simple thing as the pullin;: of a tooth may give these germs their means of entry into the hlood, and if the patient has hari rheumatic heart disease, they find It very easy to attack his tfruviously damaged heart valves. f‘or example, when a tooth is extracted, the germs present in the tooth socket may enter the blood stn am and lodge on one of the heart valves previously damaged by rheumatic fever. For this reason It lia*. been advised that all persons sufleriug from rheumatic fever or rheumatic heart disease re ceive treatment with penicillin be-

any other painter who ever lived In 60 years he had had 15<> rejections. The dispatch did not say whether he had had auy acceptances. o o The Buckeye Sugar Company at Ottawa Is employing more than Him field workers in the planting and cultivation of sugar beets and the housing problem for the migrants is one of the problems connected with the job. Newspaper pictures show the erection of 53 cabins in the area, reminiscent of the days when the same activity . was going on in this and adjoining counties to house the Mexican field workers employed by local farme rs. The Ottawa plant hopes to have a large beet ac reage this year. o o Sturgis, Michigan, which is recognized as one of the small good towns, has rehired its city j inaiku-i-r at an annual salary of |ISW. Alsu tiie city treasurer and c lerk ha.e been reemployed , ai claries of $3,600 and 12.160 respectively. The town is a little larger than Decatur, but it does ; not have a municipal plant any , where near the size of the one ; here. Next year the Decatur : mayor s salary will be boosted j from »! ISO ;o $2.5u0 and the clerki tn airer will receive a similar : amount Is Sturgis too high or ar< we too low? —O 0 I'ouriii-.ctored bombers convert ed Into frei,gi transports are bringing fruit and vegetables from warm climates to northern table- j hi three or four hours crates of strawberries are flown these days ' from Louisiana fields to Pennsyl-1 vanii Ohio, Indiana and Illinois j I markets.

In 1926 a Coluni- 1 Icia professor guessed the number, •as 200,000. Even if that figure were c orrect then, it is certainly; not now when the book clubs alone have a membership of 3.60ff,cm0 paid members. This does not count the members of subscribers’ families and the friends who n-gu-1 larly borrow them. The Book Manufacturers Institute last year thought the number of adult readers might be over 5ti,000,000. This i is a much more flattering estimate than the Columbia profc-s-, sor's meager 200.000. It would be pleasant to think it more accurate.

for having a tooth extracted or hav- | ing any operation on the nose or 11 hroat. One Half of Cases As a matter of fact it has been noted that of bacterial endocarditis about one half of the cases develop after a tooth extraction or an operation on the upper air passages. Thus, if the patient is given penicillin befo e these operative procedures the disease may be prevented <>f course, the patient with rheumatic fever should always Im- under the care of a physician. Penicillin | has not been found effective in con- i trolling this disease. Rheumatic I fever may start suddenly or graduilly with tiredness, pain in the I joints, and mild fever. The child I who develops it may lose weight, have a poo appetite and pale ekin | Du. big the active -tage of this condition, complete rest in bed is important. To prevent a recurrence of the condition, the prevention of sore throat is Important. Inform the Dentist A person with rheumatic heart disease should be sure to inform liie dentist of the presence of the condition before any tooth extractions are carried out. so that the necessary treatment with penicillin may ( be administered to help prevent bacterial endocarditis. Should bacterial endocarditis occur. very large doses of penicillin, as shown by Dr Loo Ixiewe of Brooklyn, will bring about a cure in most cases. In fact, he was tho first to recommend massive doses of |M*nicillin in the treatment of thia disease and we have been guided by his recommendation in our work with penicillin.

CHAPTER rHIKTY-ONE LEX WAS saying. “I’ve already started to look around for a place of my own. Not too big—a hundred acres or so, i'hat'll be enough for a dairy farm, which t* what 1 want. Big enough for a start anyway." Sherry tried tc picture Kay on a farm—any sort of a farm—and couldn't But she said, merely, "1 hope you find Just what you want, that you and Kay will be nappy—" The telephone rang and Sherry heard Helga come in from the kitchen to answer It, beard her call, "It’s for you. Miss Sherry." She excused herself and went out into the foye.. Helga had already gone back to the kitchen. Sherry said, "Hello?" “Sherry—Wade," the voice of her sister’s husband came harshly, I unnaturally to her along the wire. I "Sherry, you must come over here I at once. And get bold of your i mother." "But—l can’t get hold of Mothi er," Sherry told hint. “She's out I of town and 1— ■ "You come then—quickly," Wade broke in. The urgency in his voice frightened Sherry. "Wac.e, what is It? What’s wrong?" "Vai—” he said. "She’s very ill. Dreadfully ill. Sherry. She’’—his voice broke raggedly, as though he had sobbed—"she may not live." Sherry felt coldness settle over her like a cloak. There was something wrong here, something strange. Vai, who was never ill, who was so young, so vitaL "But what is it Wade?" she demanded. "What'S the matter with her?" For a moment there was only silence at the other end of the wire, a terrible appalling silence. Sherry became aware dimly of Lex, who had come to stand behind her, his hands resting on her shoulders. His hands were strong and steady, yet she shivered under them and felt them tighten comfortingly, Still her dreadful tearing fear grew. "Wade, what’s wrong with her?" He said then, repeating himself, "She’s dreadfully ill Sherry. She may not live—come on—come quickly!" There was a little click as he hung up. After a shaken confused moment, Sherry hung up, too. She turned then, with a little sobv into Lex’s arms, felt them close around her, felt the rough tweed of his coat against her wet i cheek. She gasped "Oh, Lex—it’s Vail I’m—frightened, Wade sounded so

Expense Os Hauling Pupils Increasing Adams County Cost Up 127.6 Percent liiili.inapolis. May I ! Statistics obtained from the state- su--1 pi-rintendent of public instruction reveal that the cost of transporting school pupils in Adams county for the school year of 1939 10 was 120.912, and 117.591 for the school year of 1945-46, an in- ■ tense of 126.679. The- percentage of increase was 127.6. These figures were made pub lie in a statement issued by the Indiana taxpayers association. It I shows that for the entire state, t - an sport at ion expenditures amounted to 15,066,729 in 193940 and 17.1x5.267 in 1945-46. an increase of |2,4!H,539 or 47.7 percent. Tin- higher cost of hauling pupils lo and from schools ranged all the way from seven percent in Vigo county to 127 percent in Adams county. Fortylive counties increased th-' cost of transportation more than 50 pen-ent in th-- six year period, "New contracts between township trustees and drivers of school bus- s an- to he made shortly," said Walter T. Horn, executive secretary of the- Indi ana taxpayers asscr iation. "The trend will be- higher as the bus operators contend that ee;uipruent. maintenance and operation ' costs have gon-- up since th-' last i contracts were signed. Thus th--1 ' charges for hauling pupil- will ■ ! be even greater during tin- next -chool year unless economics ar-c-fleeted. “The trustees of only one county voted to operate under the provisions of a new law permitting the administration of town ship schools on a county-wide basis. Trustee, explain that thi. statute is mi-leading and would not bring about tin- savings that its sponsors claim are possible Various trustees have contended that they have ample authority Ulldi-r old laws to hold th-' ex p-'tise of schools within reason able bounds," Mr. Horn stated. o — Soybean Booms in Illinois Soybeans were introduced into Illinois in 1896. They have grown to be a major crop, occupying 3,500,- , 000 acres in Illinois with a production of over 70,000,000 bushels of beans ■ year,

queer. He wouldn't tell me what’s wrong—only that she’s dreadfully ill—that she may not—live." He held her tight as the storm of weeping shook her. He was strong and dependable, a rock to cling to. Sherry didn’t know what she would have done without him. He said, "Get your tilings on. I’ll drive you there." But. tn the end, it was Lex who got her coat, her hat, who helped her into them, who knotted her scarf about her throat It was Lex who gave Helga a brief explanation then led Sherry down to the car and tucked her into iL She couldn’t seem to stop shivering. There had been—something tn Wade's voice, something that even Lex didn't know about Something that rasped and grated, something inexplicable and terrifying. Sherry supposed she must have told Lex the Carringtons' address. The little car sped through streets jammed with early evening traffic. Lex’s big hands were firm on the wheel. Somehow Just staring at them gave Sherry a sort of vicarious strength. But she still had to hold her teeth tight together to still their chattering. Lex didn’t talk much during that nightmare ride. Sherry probably wouldn't have heard him anyway. Her thoughts winged ahead to what awaited them. Vai—oh, Vai — what is it? What can it be? Over and over again her mind asked these questions. Over and over again, she thought incredulously, But Vai is so healthy, so young and strong. She must have babbled something of the sort aloud, for Lex asked once, "He didn’t say she’d been hurt? It couldn’t be some sort of accident she was in?” "Ho said •Hl'." Sherry spoke dully. "He said, ’She’s dreadfully lU—she may not Uve— *" “There," Lex said, “don't worry too much. We’ll be there in a minute. Then we’ll know . , .* Sherry sat as though paralyzed after Lex had swung the car in to the curb in front rs the pretentious building where Vai and Wade lived. He half lifted her down, his hand under elbow propelled her like an ac.omaton across the i sidewalk, through the deeply carpeted lobby, into the elevator. His voice gave the floor to the operator, his finger pressed the bell. A Filipino servant in a white coat let them in. His smooth, brown face was grave, inscrutable. Wade's voice, its rasping undernote of fear even more plain now, called from somewhere, "Sherry? ! Is it you?"

She managed to say, "Yes, Wade—" He appeared in a doorway then, his hands grasping either side ot the frame as though for support. But a curtain came down over the terror in his eyes at sight of Lex, a stranger, standing there beside Sherry. Ux was perceptive enough to see that curtain descend. He said to Sherry, “I’m going now. 1 don’t want to barge in on anything. But I’ll be downstairs. Do you understand, Sherry?" He gave her arm a little squeeze tor emphasis. "I’ll be downstairs in the car if you need me. Send someone down if you want me to come back. Otherwise, I’ll wait till you come." Their eyes met in a long look. Sherry murmured, “Yes—yes, Lex, I understand. And thank you—" She turned from him then to follow Wade into the room beyond. When they were alone, Sherry asked shakily, her eyes wide on his twisted face, "Wade—what is it? What’s wrong with Vai?" Ha sank down into a chair, Ms elbows on his knees, bis face tn his shaking hands. He said, "Lord, Sherry—this is awful! She took an overdose of sleeping tablets—too big an overdose for It to have been a mistake. Si.’ tried to kiU herself—and maybe she succeeded.* "Wade—no—" Sherry sobbed, the uncontrollable trembling seizing her again. “The doctor's with her now—a couple of nurses—" he rasped harshly. “They're doing everything they can—" Sherry saw his broad shoulders shaken with suppressed sobs. Pity, a fear and grief that equalled his, made her feel closer to him than she ever had before. She laid a hand comfortingly on his shoulder. "Wade”- she whispered — "don’t Maybe—they can save her—” His tortured eyes came up to meet hers. "But—why, Sherry? Why did she do It? I don’t know what I’ve done—how I could have driven her—” He broke off and passed an unsteady hand across his working mouth. "I honestly don’t know, Sherry. What could 1 have done?” Sherry didn’t know, either. She couldn’t understand the motivation behind Vai’s act any better than he. She could only say, as Lex had said to her, "There now. Try not to worry too much .. But her heart cried out within her. Oh. Val-why? And there wasn’t any answer, (To Be Continued)
