Ringworm Infection of Feet

By Herman N. Bundesen, M. D. MANY skin dinorders are caused by verms but perhaps the most stubborn of all such troubles is due to another cause entirely, a parasitic fungus or sort of vegetable growth. One of these which causes endless annoyance to many people every year Is ringworm, particularly ringworm Infection of the feet. Dr. Douglas T. Prehn, of Chelsea. Massachusetts, has perfected a mxiture of salicylic acid, menthol and camphor, which he thinks Is quit* effective in getting rid of these fungous infections of the skin. These three substances are mixed together and put into solution. The solution can be put into a powder, a liquid preparation, or an ointment. Powder Is Satisfactory For the general treatment of ringworm or fungous infections, he thinks the powder is most satisfactory. The powder usually Is made up of boric acid, thoroughly mixed with talc. This boric acid-talc mixture is then vigorously mixed into the solution of camphor, menthol and salicylic acjd. The net result is a fine, sticky powder which t 9 pasty and soft, the pr.wder --asoot M dusted upon the skin but must

of the city's overbuilt crowded clutter is being removed and breathing space provided in the world's largest capital. o o Due to the small vote cast by both parties In 1948. the number of delegates to the atate conventions will be reduced In thia county, the Republicans and Democrats each will have ten delegates, which Is minor representation based on the entire number of voting delegates. Adams county’s distinction comes In being the first unit called on to vote In the alphabetical polling ot the 92 counties. Sometimes the convention trend Is indicated in the votes cast by the local delegates. The news writers say that Governor Dewey Is flirting with John L. Lewis to get labor's support in his bid for the Republican presidential nomination. Lewis' blessing on the New York governor may prove his "kiss of death,” for Senator Taft will have earned the support of colleagues for his fight in putting over the labor bill. It doesn’t seem reasonable that Dewey will be favored, in view of Republican congressional sentiment to harness such fellows as Lewis with the new law. We doubt if the delegates can be for Dewey I and at the same time praise Taft, unless they use a lot of double talk. o o The Taft-Hartley labot; bill is now the law of the land, the senate overriding President Truman's veto of the measure by a 68 to 25 vote. Aimed at revamping of the Wagner Act, it will require time to see if it is beneficial to the country. The administration of the act will be one of the important assignments of government and the coming months will reveal if it will curtail strikes and correct the so-called injustices which the sponsors of the bill claimed for It. Any way. the country is entering a new era in labor legislation in keeping with America's desire , for constant change. 0 o Smokers who hoard large quantities of cigarettes as a means of “heating'' the three cent package tax which becomes operative next Tuesday, are warned that they have only six days to use the smokes, without violating the law. Possession of untaxed cigarettes after that date is a violation and snoopers of the Alcoholic Beverage Commission, charged with enforcement, can make an arrest if a pack of unstamped smokes is pulled out of the individual's pocket. Chances are that the average fellow won't have more than a few day's supply, because unless the cigarettes are kept under proper humidity conditions they dry out and become less tasteful.

be vigorously rubbed into it. in treating ringworm of the feet, thic k calluses or blisters must be removed before the powder is applied. Th* skin must be thoroughly dry before the powder is vigorously robbed into the diseased and surrounding skin area. The treatment is applied In the morning, dally or oftener as the case may be, depending upon the progress of the condition. As the condition Improves, the Intervals between the treatment may be Increased until the disorder has been completely overcome. Other Patients Treated Dr. Prehn has also treated M patients with itching around the lower opening of the bowel, with this mixture. If some smarting occurs on the first application, the powder can be diluted by adding more talc. Dr. Prehn thinks that If a skin disturbance does not clear up under proper treatment with this powder, the skin condition is not due to a fungous infection, but to some other cause. Os course, a preparation of this type should be ased only under the direction of a physician, who will aatlin* the method in which it is to be used end how long treatment should be continued.

Arnold Adams County Service Officer An antendinent to the Social Security Act was passed on Aug. 10. 1946, Veterans who received, other than a dishonorable discharge, are Insured under this Old-Age and Rurvivors Insurance system of the Roclal Security Act for three years from the date of their discharge. This Is true even If you have never worked on a job covered by Social Security. The immediate effect of the revision will be to give financial aid to dependents of veterans who died since their discharge. Dependents. however, who are receiving benefits from the Veterans Administration are not eligible. This does not include those receiving insurance payments. The future effect of this revision will protect those servicemen who lost social security status hy reason of military service or those who did not work prior to the war and thus had no opportunity to build up social benefits. The Act now gives a serviceman a monthly wage credit of Side plus additional percent for each year (up to three) of active duty. The protection is temporary, however. in the future, protection Is limited to four years and a day from the effective date of the Act Beneficiaries under this act are urged to file applications with their Social Security field office, since benefits will date from death of veteran only where a claim is filed within six months from the effective date of this new amendment. A Representative of the Ft. Wayne Social Security office Is at the Decatur Postoffice Building the second Wednesday of each month; and will assist with Social Security applications. The Social Security office at Ft. Wayne, India located at Federal Bldg.. Room No. 305 and Is open five days a week. 0 . Dent Labor In Vain If work is all you have done.

CHAPTER TWENTY -MOVIE?" queried Mr*. Winston, alertly. "You’ve gone into the movie*. Diane?" “Only in an amateur way,” Mrs. Arden explained. “With some of her friend* out at the Old Colony." “But we're getting very professional,’* Diane added. "Rufus Kent has the lead—" “Rufus Kent," echoed Mr*. Winston sharply. Diane’s lips twitched. Here was her bomb! “Ye*. Bill’s college friend. You know, the one who came here to go on the Post, who write* those editorial*. He’s terribly clever and simply marvelous in our movie. 1 should know! He plays the part of my lover and—well, he’s convincingly fatal!" Without looking at him, she knew Bill’s eyes were hard on her. “Yes, this is what I’ve been doing while you’ve been working on your trial!" She looked at Page but Page was fastening the clasp of a bracelet; her bent face revealed nothing. "How very original! An amateur movie, I mean," said AUithea Matthewson. “Where win you show It, Diane?" “Danny Carver’s giving a party down on Gus Schultz* showboat. We’ll run It off then." “You don’t mean you’d go—" Satisfaction was In Mrs. Winston's voice as well as horror. “Oh, we’re wild to see the inside of It! And meet Gus!" Mrs. Arden rose from the table. "Shall we play some bridge? Bill, you and I will take on the girts.” Bill put up the tables. “One rubber. Mother," he said, as he sat down opposite his mother. “Os course, you’re tired." Was her sympathy only for his tiredness. Diane wondered, uneas- : ily. For her defiance had spent itself; her anger had left her. She played stupidly, scarcely hearing Page’s bids, reluctant to meet Page’s glance, acutely aware of a soberness in Bill’s manner that was not for the game. She was glad when the rubber was over, she rose as quickly as Bill from the table. There was another round of congratulatory hand shaking with the goodbya Then they were In the ca? and driving away. Diane sat back in her comer, holding her breath, waiting for Bill to speak. Then she could say: “I’m sorry! I know I was silly and cheap!" Cheap, like Vicky. And She’d despised Vicky for It “Something just sent me off. darling. It doesn’t matter what—" When his arms were around her she would tell him about the baby. But they were almost at the Chatham Arms before Bill spoke. And then coldly: “How many cocktails did you drink before dinner?" Her voice was as cold. "You aw met" "I saw only the one you brought to the living room!’’’ He stopped the car at their door. "You go on up. Til take the car ’round.” i Sb* was undressing whan b*

came in. Frightened, she dropped down on the edge of the bed, clutching the garment she had taken off. What would he say next? She didn't know. He said from the living room: “Coming out here again?" “Na" . She heard the dick of the wan switch, his step across the dinette. He was in the room. She stood up, desperately willing her knees not to double under her. *Tm sorry. Blit" But she could not say It while there was that closed look on Bill’* face. He pulled off hi* coat, took it to the closet, hung It there, turned. “Di, I take it you're going out to the club on your father** membership?" Incredibly, that was in his mind, not Rufus! "Family membership, isn’t ft?" “Not mine. Pd prefer you stayed away until I can afford to join it You can find other amusements, can’t you?" She picked up a brush from the dressing table, drew it over her bright hair. “Why haven’t you spoken of It before?" “Because I was too deep In that trial to even know what you were doing," Bill retorted. She had set the trap for him, but she was no less stung by his admission. She sat quite still, her finger* right on ti.i edge of the dressing table, repeating his words to herself, as if, together, they made something she must remember. He came to her, put his hands on her shoulders. “Don’t look like that. Di. I'm not asking a great deal of you, am I? You can't care much for that crowd you’ve been playing around with out there. To me they seem a fearful waste of rime." She did not answer. She let him think that that was the issue and that it was dosed now. She Upped her face back to receive his kiss. But her lip* felt stiff against his; the coldness was creeping up over her again. Bill got into his pajamas. Tm half asleep on my feet! But it's good to know I haven't a hard day ahead of me tomorrow!" He fell asleep almost as soon as his head touched the pillow. Diane listened In a numb wonder to his regular breathing. After a little she raised on her elbow to stare, almost fearfully, at his dark head, outlined against the white of the bed linen. "I'm going to have his child and I don't really know him!" • e • “Are you too sleepy for a little talk, dear?" asked Mrs. Winston of Page when they arrived home from the Ardens. Page shrank from it; she was too distraught in her mind to counter the triumph she saw in her mother's bearing. But to refuse would only postpone the moment. so she followed her mother into the living room. Mr* Winston put her gloves and bag on tha table, sat down in a £. ifmu a*«w A <u
