A Rapid DDT Treatment

By Herman N. Bundesen, M. 0. OF late year* there ha* been whz' might be called an epidemic of bead lice among school children In .tany of our large cities. When such ? pest gets started it is always difficult to control, and thus It is interesting to read the experience of doctors elsewhere in dealing with the same condition. An article by Dr. Arthur D. Fraser, condensed from the British Medical Journal by the Current Medical Digest, tells how 400 British patients were rid of head Hee by D. D. T„ the powerful insecticide developed by the (J. 8. Army during the war. Other Preparations While there are many preparations which can be used against the lice themselves, there are. unfortunately. few which will destroy the nits or eggs. D. D. T. has the advantage of killing both if left on the hair long enough. Dr. Frazer has found a mixture of D. D. T„ naphtha, an emulsifying agent, and water, to be an ideal treatment for head lice. The D. D. T. Is not dissolved but rather held in suspension In the liquid by the emulsifier. Strong Solutions Long-continued contact with strong solutions of D. D. T. may he dangerous but. with proper caution. either powder or weak solutions may be used on the skin with perfect safety. Before treatment is started, women patients are advised to

services to bo held here May 30, and sponsored hy Adams Post of the American Legion. Visits will be made to the cemeteries where appropriate services honoring the . veteran dead will take place It is planned to have the Memorial Day address delivered from the Peace Monument, those in charge of the program announce. 0 o— — Take a membership in the De- | catur Chamber of Commerce. You ran help your community and yourself by joining with 250 per--1 sons whore purpose It is to promote local activities and accomplish those things which make this a better place in which to live, work and do business. The membership drive will get underway in a few days and the most j effective way to take part In I community promotion programs Is first by becoming a member —o o~ While the cost of transporting children to schools In Adams County had advanced 127 percent in six years, the total expended | in this county is not as high as in Jay and Wells counties. The local expenditure for last year was $47,591 and in the two adjoining counties transportation costs ran $63,751 and $65,232 respectively. Apparently the trustees are operating school buses as economically as possible, but had to make a boost last year in order to maintain the service. Dean Acheson leaves the state department holding the high respect of the country for his valuable public service as Undersecretary of state. He will return to private law practice in the national capital and Robert A. I Lovett of New York, one-time assistant secretary of air in the war department has been nominal- ! ed to succeed him. Few men who served as long as Acheson in | high office ever retained such in- 1 dividual popularity as the man who, advised General MacArthur and Secretary of Slate Marshall on this nation's foreign policy. He deserved the tribute paid him by President Truman. —o o Religious Book Week was launched by the National Conference of Christians and Jews as an , aim "to reduce prejudice among < and against Jews, Protestants and Catholics" by education. Representatives of the three faiths have compiled a worthy list of books, available at public libraries and most book stores. This is a thoughtful effort to promote tolerance through understanding. It is amazing bow tensions and bitterness disappear when a person learns something of the reasons for another's religion, his politics or his private life. Knowledge of other ways broadens one's own vision, makes life richer.

have a scarf in which to tie up the hair. While the emulsion em ployed I* a clear, colorless fluid, it makes the hair straight or lank. The scarf is worn merely to save the patient embarrassment. In applying the treatment, a pro tective apron is spread over the shoulders and the emulsion is then thoroughly worked into the hair and scalp with a soft brush. The next day the patient washes the hair with soap and water and returns for examination. At Second Visit At this second visit, the hair is thoroughly combed with a fine con.o. Two such combings may be needed if the head is heavily infested with the lice, but in practically ail cases one treatment was sufficient to get rid of tbe infestation permanently. Contact with the emulsion usually kills the lice in about one-half hour. Thus, the hair may be wasfied one hour after treatment and thoroughly combed with a fine comb, which in most cases will be sufficient to eliminate the lice. No reactions were seen except in one case where there was an extensive ‘infection of the scalp. In this instance some swelling of the nose, forehead and eyelids occurred. However, this reaction disappeared within a few days. This treatment so rapid and easy, is also practically free (rout all danger It should be a boon to all who suffer from head lice infestation and to doctors and nurse* who must deal with them.
