Don’t Trust Self Diagnosis

By Herman N. Bundesen, M. D. Putting two anti two together to get five seems to be a natural human trait. Moat people cannot resist it, particularly when it cornea to self-diagnosis. They have learned of an ailment which may cause certain symptom*; then they experience one or two similar symptoms and immediately jump to the conclusion that their disorder la the one they have read about. Nine times out of ten they are wrong. For instance, most patients who have pain around the lower open lug of the bowel are convinced that they are suffering from hemorrhoids or piles. And yet there are several other causes for pain in this area, and the most common Is not hemorrhoids at all, but what is known as a fissure. Crack In Lining Membrane A fl san re of the rectum is a crack In the lining membrane near the opening of the bowel or anus. The pain comes on with bowel movements and may last for several hours. It is usually relieved by rest, but is made worse by exercise. It then recurs when the patient has another bowel movement. There are several types of fissure. Some are acute, that is. they have been present for a long period of time, and may be the result of constipation, straining during newel movements, or may appear after delivery of a bqby PUgaOila it mads by the ex-

Taft-Hartlay bill, followed by Its overriding of the President's veto of the measure. It failed to stop the inflation spiral, or HCL and pnt the skids under rent control. The city’s new garbage collection system Is working very satisfactorily and housewives are pleas ed with the improved service. The modern truck permits the hauling of refuse in a sanitary manner and trained city employes handle the job with adeptness. Possibly If city finances permit, the hauling of ashes and rubbish from the back-end of lots and alleys can be done by the department. Cleanliness Instills civic pride and a clean city is one of the best recommendations for its citizenry. Mayor Stults and Commissioner Sauer are mindful of this and have demonstrated that they want the town to be In good-housekeeping order. o o-— The talk of Gen. Eisenhower (or President keeps cropping up. After Gen. Marshall’s decisive refusal to be considered, Eisenhow er's name remains at the top of military possibilities. This is a reversion to the old American tradition whereby every war produced one or more presidents. The War of 1812 elected Jackson, the Mexican War. Taylor. The Civil War planted a whole crop of Presidents, and the Spanish War gave us Theodore Roosevelt. World War I was the only exception. Gert Pershing, the outstanding military figure, was never seriously considered. President Truman, the sole veteran of the War to make the White Hoyse, was a captain. No genesal officer of the A E. F. has come within shooting distance of the Presidency. o 0— — O 0 I Modern Etiquette i By ROBERTA LBS | O O Q. if a girl does not wish to dance with someone her acquaintance, ie it permissible for her to refuse A.

amination of the area. According to Dr. Peter G. McEvedy, of Manchester, England the treatment includes the giving of enough mineral oil to keep the bowel movement soft. Some type of ointment, such as sine ointment, may be applied before the howel movement. After the bowel movement. the area is waehed, and the ointment again applied. If the pain is severe, it is suggested that a local anesthetic or pain-deadening substance be injected Into the area. In the majority of cases, with this treatment, healing occurs quickly. If the treatment does not produce a cure, an operation may be required. Chronic Fissures Chronic fissures are those which have been present for a long time and, usually, they are associated with hemorrhoids or piles. In such cases, an operation, including removal of the piles, is required for cure. If there are no piles present, a simple operation, according to Dr McEvedy, may be carried out. and the patient may return home at once. Zinc ointment is applied before the movement. Afterwards Ute area is washed and an antiseptic dressing or an ointment is applied. These measures are carried out un til healing occurs. Rectal tussores are not serious but qsay be responsible ter a great deal of pgln and should net bo neglected

CHAPTER FORTY-FIVE DIANE DID not go with her father to join Paula upstairs; she made the excuse of needing to begin her packing. She kissed him, tightened her arm around his neck, moved for a moment by qualms for not having been wholly frank with him. **You’re good to me, Dad!** Back at the apartment ahe began to go through the bureau drawers, separating their contents, these to pack, these to leave behind. She would not need much more than roughing clothes, there at Tim’s, and afterward, afterward—well, someone could paek up what she had left here. As she had packed away Nellie's things. Was this the way other women did it? Did they feel only numb? Bill was gone when she wakened the next morning. Carrie, at her call, brought some coffee to her bed. "Mr. Arden says to tell you he won't be home to dinner this evening. It's one of his meetings, I s’poee." "I won’t be home either, Carrie. You can go when you've washed the dishes.” "I figgered on doing the kitchen cupboards today, Mis' Arden.” “I'd rather you'd go,” said Diane, sharply. She waited with a cold, compelling excitement for the moment of the woman's departure, when she could pull bags down from the high shelf in the closet, begin to pack them. The only reality In the day were its hours moving ahead; ahe moved with them as mechanically as the hands of the clock at which she glanced frequently, as much driven by complicated wheels as were they. Her father telephoned to her. "I'm sending your tickets out by a messenger. And your train leaves at six-thirty.” “Thanks, Dad!” "Sure you can make ft on your own?" "Oh, yes! Just for thinking of getting away I fee! better, truly!” "I suppose Bill will put you on the train—” She answered that with: "You promised, Dad, remember!” "Sure, sure! But you wire me from Chicago and when you get to Tim’s. I phoned Tim; he’s tickled you’re coming and he's said he'd take good ears of you. Goodby, thick!” Goodby, Dad, and thanks.” Ixks called her. Danny. She met their Importuning briefly, coldly. When her bags were packed and locked and she had put on the light wool dress she had left out to wear on her journey she agt down at her desk, reflecting, with , a slight twist of her lips: "Rugsway wives always leave a note! , And suicides!” Was it coneiderata■saaa. or merely the aattafacUet

1. Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has aol shipped * lingle gallon of oij products to Russia. As a company it is not involved in any way in such shipments. 2. For the past several months the United States has been importing more oil than It has exported. If all foreign trad® w,re we would bo not losers. 3. In fairness to whatever ampanies have made shipments to Russia, it may bo pointed out that such shipments, as shown by government records, have been at a rate of less than 1500 barrels a day this year as compared with an average rate of 6.889 barrels daily for the whole of 1141. The cunent shipments are a negligible quantity in comparison with U. fl needs (Less than throe one-hun-dredths of one percent.) 4. Shipments to Russia are made with full knowledge of the U. 8 government, the latter having the responsibility to decide whether It is good policy or not to ship oil to Russia or any other country. The general rule in International trade is tor all companies and all nations to trade freely with each other unless their governments decree otherwise. 6. The shortage in the middle west would not have been lessened if no oil had been shipped to Russia. The main difficulty here is lack of transportation facilities to bring oil in from other areas. Our inability to bring adequate quantities from relative nearby points in Texas and Oklahoma suggests the difficulty in moving into this area the products shipped from the West Coast to Russia. 0 1 Happy Hustlers The Happy Hustlers 4-H cluh of Washington township entertained their mothers on July 23 at the home of Miss Theresa Kobne.

of having the last word? She wrote: "We left it that we wouldn’t talk about a divorce until after your campaign, but I have decided to go to Reno, for if I free you now you can try that case against my father. Everyone's sympathy will be with you so I do not think it will hurt your political standing. Good luck. “DIANE,” She did not read it over; ahe folded it, propped it on the mantel where Bill must see it the Instant ha came into the room. Irresistibly she glanced up to the face of the first Judge William Arden above her. "I suppose you knew, all the time, it’d end like this!” At the station her porter told her the train would not go out for fifteen minutes. “You sit here, lady, and I’ll coma back.” But Diane could not sit still; Impatient at the delay ahe moved restlessly about the big waiting room, studied posters without seeing a line In them, the fronts of magazines on the newsstands. “Hello, Di! What are you doing down here?” It was Ruftu Kent at her elbow. Bhe swung around, alarmed, pale with vexation at his intrusion. She answered shortly: “What do people come to stations for?” •To meet someone er see someone off! I’ve just put the head of i the Northrup Syndicate on the - train. But you—” his glance i sweeping her was keen and curious; "You have all the look of i going away!" i She tried to frame a light, mls- ’ leading answer. And heard herself i saying, defiantly: “I am starting i for Reno, no leas! To divorae Bill.” i The porter stepped up. “We’d better go along, lady.” Rufus took hold of her arm. ' "I'll take charge of you!” TO anyi one observing he must appear only a gallant escort of a lone and very pretty young woman, hut Diane ■ saw the line of his mouth and felt hia fingers dig hard feto the flesh of F her arm. •This isn’t the way,” she cried, i *To my car!" Rufus retorted. •You can't—how dare you—" i She struggled to free herself, but vainly, for his vicdike grip on her i only tightened. t ‘There are other trains,” > When they reached his ear she I flung herself into the far corner • of the seat, shaking with anger, too choked with it to utter further protest Until be had driven sevI eral blocks, whan she cried out: .

that day. You haven't been yourself, you’re afraid to be yourself. To square up—" •That Is exactly what I was setting out to do,” defended Diane with spirit “You think so?” Contempt edged Rufus' tone. “Looked a minute ago as if you were running away! I'll wager Bill doesn’t know a thing about it Your face betrayed that, when I spoke to you. Probably you left him a note! You didn't give him a chance to speak for his side of the bargain—” “You don't know everything," cried Diane chokingly. "Bill wants to bo free. I don't help him in his profession. And he cares more for that, for getting ahead in it—than our marriage. He puts that first. "You don’t know Bill very well, do you?” said Rufus. He started the car abruptly. Diane locked her hands tightly together, fighting to hold to her anger. Without it, without the hardness which had sustained her for so long— She clutched Rufus' arm. ”1 won’t go back to the apartment! I won’t!” “To your father's?” •No, not there! Oh, Rufus!” Tears sprang to her eyes. "Why didn't you let mo go! I’ll start tomorrow—you’U see that I will!” Rufus stopped the car again. 1 He put his hand under her chin . and turned her face to hia “Di, if i you must get away, go. But not where you were heading, not yet!" ’ A deep urgency in his voice and the appeal on hi- face silenced her and he went on: "Separate your- ! self from this that’s gone wrong > so m to see It for what it is.
