Marshall doesn't believe in fooling wirti the satellite countries and his latest action follows his cancellation of relief funds for Poland, which country Is now producing sufficient food to feed itself. • The Indiana state government has a *47,OOP,pup * jtut*lus ' and doesn't know what to do with the money.

Brewster may be called on for an accounting and the country will hear the other side of the case, which gained headlines because of the Roosevelt name. o— —o— — If the legislature hadn't put a clamp on the distribution of gross income tax funds to school units for teachers pay, none of the townships would find it necessary to increase local taxes.

A Germ-Fighting Wonde r Drug

By Herman N. Bundesen, M. D.| STREPTOMYCIN to the newest addition to the modem family of germ-fighting wonder drugs. There Ik atlll much to be learned about this new weapon against disease, but it has now been in use long enough for u# to know that it is going to be of real value in many conditions. The beat thing about it is that it will Attack germs which success fully resist both penicillin and the sulfonamide drugs. According to Dr. Sam L. Raines of Memphis, Tennessee. it is particularly effec five against germs that cause in feet lona of the urinary tract Patients Ware Treated Dr. Raines treated 62 patients with such urinary tract Infections, produced by several germs, but particularly by a certain type of streptococcus. When the patients were given three million units of streptomycin daily for throe days, in practically all cases, the germa disappeared from the urinary tract. However, after about two weeks, matry of the germs were again, found, whic'u indicates that reinfec tion of the urinary tract occurred. A number of spectacular results were obtained with the streptomy cin blood stream infections or "blood peteoning” caused by such germs as Friedlander s bacillus and bacillus protou® Dr Raines also studied a Hbell i gusher of mhb ol tuberculosis 1

nets of America o — The Erie's big Diesel engines which pass through here still attract a lot of attention and when the "fog horns” blow for the cross Ings, residents are not left in douht that the oil burning locomotives are on the way. The railroad company is Improving Its equipment and announced in an advertisement in this newspaper, that new pas senger and sleeping car service have been placed on the road, between Chicago and New York. Foundries and the steel Indus try need acrap Iron The price for scrap is higher than ever, hut the supply is not adequate. Movement of scrap into the hands of junk dealers is small, compared to the time when It was patriotic to dig up every piece of Iron around the place and turn it in to aid the war effort. The steel companies point out that one reason for increased car prices. Is the boost In scrap iron. Load up the scrap material and sell it. o o City police and state patrolmen worked dilingently the other evening in meeting traffic problems, due to the closing of the streets fori the pet and 4-11 parade. Traffic had to be rerouted over Marshall street, because Monroe street was closed. While there was some congestion and frequent bottlenecks in the flow of traffic, due to the "dead ends" on Marshall street, no serious accident occurred. The detours were removed Immediately after the parade and established routes resumed. r The popularity of the <vty swimming pool again has been shown through the record-breaking use by the children during the past few sweltering days. The training program that |ias been going on at the pool, under the ll<-d Cross I supervisors Is very commendable and many children have learned to swim. Supervisor Dailey enter tains great crowds in the afternoon and evening and the children sure enjoy the refreshing water. It will be a great step forward when the city can afford a larger pool, for it certainly can be used. --.-O Petitions are being circulated In fifteen Ohio counties for the establishing of the Maumee Watershed Connervacy District, and the ultimate construction of a huge reservoir for Impounding of flood waters. Headquarters have been established in Defiance county and that and adjoining counties are organised to push the proposal. It is pointed out that where reservoirs have capacity greater than needed for flood storage, the dams also conserve water for recreation and industrial purposes. It looks like the Ohio people are thinking and planning in the right direction.

! but he found that these patients did not respond to the streptomycin. although other have found that it is helpful in certain cases. Sufficient Dose When streptomycin is used, it is Important that a sufficient dose be employed and that it be given continually until the germs producing the infection are eliminated. Otherwise the germs may become streptomycin fart, that is. they become more resistant to the preparation, and then cure becomes extremely difficult. Another use of streptomycin is as a preventive against infection when the bladder Is examined through a cystoseope. In cases of stone in the kldse; ureter or bladder, where infection has been present long enough to make surgery dangerous, the giving of streptomycin may cause enough Improvement that the operation can be performed with safety. Thus, streptomycin has been fdund to be a valuable preparation in urinary tract infections which are not overcome by penicillin or the sulfonamide drags. QUEttlON* AND ANSWER* it. W.: How long does it take iur the swelling to leave after a «u»t has been removed? Answer: Swelling should disap pear within a week or two; however. it may persist because of pMrt disturbance of th* cireula-
