A Serious Type of Infection

By Herman N. Bundeten, M. D. THE so-called stomach upset with diarrhea is so common in young children that it doe* not ordinarily cause an experienced mother much worry. She knows that it ran be brought about hy overeating or the eating of Indigestible foods and realize* that as soon as the abused digestive system has time to right itself, the child will recover promptly. Thus, when the diarrhea Is severe enough for such a mother to consult the doctor, it Is usually a more serious matter and Is pro bably due .to an Infection of the bowel with germs belonging to one or the other of two large groups. These are the Shigella and the Salmonella groups. Acorcding to Dm. James Watt of Bethesda. Maryland, and Mar-i garet Gutelius of New Orleans. I Louisiana.' such infections cause more than three-fourths of all cases of severe diarrhea In youngsters Furthermore these conditions are infectious, and this Is particularly important when there are other young children in the family, as | they must be protected against the disorder. When severe diarrhea occurs, examination of the stools to determine the type of germ causing the condition is important since flhl-i sella germs are susceptible to sulfonamide products while the Salmonella group .is not and other measures described below must be used Whether or not the sulfonamides ean be used, the diarrhea itself must be treated. Efforts should first be made to relieve the dehyS tins or loss of fluid from the y. This requires gt»iag «• to 110 cubic coßureters or agprogimatelv IH tr i ounces of fluid

No community is any better than the schools it supports and In this county we do have an appreciation of the school's worth It's a good recommendation. o O— — Teachers are happy to learn that Dr Stewart McClelland, president of Lincoln Memorial Untver slty and former president of the National Exchange Club, will address them at their Institute here on August 27, A noted educator and lecturer. Dr. McClelland's visit assures the teachers that the program will be one of the most Interesting presented. Teachers, both from the township and city school, public and parochial, are invited to the one day session. O o— England's Socialistic government is crumbling and the country is in a dickens of a mess. It lacks credit, the people won't wofk and its empire is xeperating as fast as oil from water. Its trouble isn't all of recent date. Generations ago It should have changed to a more democratic way of living and raising the standard of living for all the people. The landed gentry lived luxuriously, while the miner and laborer was given little consideration. Now. the miner doesn't turn out the coal and industrial production lags Here, as one newspaper observes, "The recent experience of England ought to he a lesson to those Americans who flirt with or openly advocatesocialism or communism. We don't want any of either here, now or I„ ' ■•' ' ' . -1 i ever." o o Democrats gathered at Franklin tile other evening to pay recognition to a famous Hoosier and native son, Paul V. McNutt, former governor and first ambassador to the Philippines. The meeting was not without its oratory. McNutt, and former Governors Townsend and Schricker sharing the program. It was evident that a boom was underway for Johnny Watkins, Bloomfield publisher and officer in both world wars, for first or second place on the state ticket next year. Mr. McNutt, who has transferred his residence to New York, in connection with his law practice, said. "In foregn affairs, the Democratic party Is the party of democ racy and brotherhood. It Is the party which has given leadership to the world during the last 16 years.”

This may be given by mouth or by Injection, depending upon whether or not vomiting Is present. After the body fluids have been restored, the giving of an injection of blood into a vein, and the giving of amino acids, which are the suitstances that make up proteins, may be extremely helpful. Thia is especially true in the poorly-nourished patients. This treatment may be repeated as necessary, particularly if recovery Is alow. Rest, and a fasting period of from 12 to 24 hours, and careful attention to the diet are also helpful measures. Only small amounts of food should be given at first and the diet should be low in fat and bulky foods, high in proteins, such as are obtained from skimjned milk. QUESTIONS ANO ANSWERS 8. L.

Henrietta was pleased to see Midge whom she liked. Lady Angkatell came out of the house, and said: "Oh! there you are, Henrietta. When you’ve taken your car into the stables and given it a bran mash, lunch will be ready." •’What a penetrating remark of Lucy," said Henrietta as she drove around the house, Midge accompanying her on the running board. -You know, I always prided my* self on having completely escaped the horsy taint of my Irish forebears. When you’ve been brought up amongst people who talk nothing but horse, you go all superior about not earing for them. And now Lucy has just shown me that I treat my car exactly like a horse. It’s quite true. I do.” *T know,” said Midge. -Lucy Is quite devastating. She told me this morning that I was to be as rude as I liked while I was here.” Henrietta considered thia for a moment and then nodded. -Of course,” she said. The Shop I” -Yea When one ha.: to spend every day of one’s life in a blasted little box, bring polite to rude women, calling them Madam, pulling frocks over their heads, smiling and swallowing their darned cheek whatever they like to say to one—well, one does want to cuss!

I wish you weren’t so grand and proud and insistent on earning your own living . . .” “Anyway, Lucy’s an angel. I shall be gloriously rude to everyone thia week-end." “Who's here?" said Henrietta, as she got out of the car. •The Christows are coming.” Midge paused and then went on: “Edward’s Just arrived." -Edward? How nice! I haven’t seen Edward lur ages, Anybody else?" -David AngkatelL That, according to Lucy, is where you are going to come in useful. You’re going to stop him biting his nails." -It sounds very unlike me,” said Henrietta. "I hate interfering with people and I wouldn’t dream of checking their personal habits. What did Lucy really say?” Tt amounted to that I He's got an Adam's apple, too!” "I'm not expected to do anything about that, am I?" asked Henrietta, alarmed. -And you're to be kind to Gerda." -How I should hate Lucy if I were Gerda!" "And someone who solves crimes Is coming to lunch tomorrow." "We’re not going to play the Murder Game, are we?" "I don’t think so. I think it is Just neighborly hospitality." Midge's voice changed a little. -Here's Edward coming out to hunt us." -Dear Edward," thought Henrietta with a sudden rush of warm affection. Edward Angkatell was very tall and thin. He was smiling now as he camo toward the two young women. -Hullo, Henrietta. I haven’t seen you for over a year." "Hullo, Edward.” How nice Edward was! That gentle smile of his, the little creases at the corners of his eyes. And all his nice knobbly bones.... I believe it’s his bones I like so much, thought Henrietta. The warmth of her affection for Edward startled her. She had forgotten that she liked Edward so much. ee e / After lunch Edward said, "Come for a walk, Henrietta.” It was Edward’s kind of walk—a stroll. They went up behind the house, taking a path that rig-sagged up through the trees. Like the woods at Ainswick. thought Henrietta. ... Dear Ainswick, what fun they had had there! She began to talk to Edward about Ainswick. They revived old memories. -Do you remember our squirrel? The one with the broken paw. And we kept it in a cage and it got well?" "Os course. It had a ridiculous name—what was U now?” “Cholmondeley-Marjori banks!" That’s IL” They both laughed. "And old Mrs. Bondy, the housekeeper—she always said it would go up the chimney one day.” -And we were so indignant, , -And then it did .. .” -She made it," said Henrietta positively. "She put the thought Into the squirrel's head." She went on: “Is it all the same, Edward? Or is It changed? I always imagine tt as just the saasa.” -Why don’t you eoese qpd sea. Henrietta?

since you’ve been there,” -I know. ~.” Why, she thought, had she let so long a time go by? One got busy—interested—tangled up with people. -You know you’re always welcome there at any time." “How sweet you are, Edward!" Dear Edward, she thought, with his nice bones. He said presently: "I'm glad you’re fond of Ainswick, Henrietta.” She said dreamily, -Ainswick io the loveliest place in the world." A long-legged girl, with a mane of untidy brown hair ... a happy girl with no idea at all of things that life was going to do to her ... a girl who loved trees. To have been so happy and not to have known it! If I could go back, she thought. Anu aloud she said suddenly: -Is Ygdrasil still there?" Tt was struck by lightning.” -Oh, no, not Ygdrasil!" She was distressed. Ygdrasil—her own special name for the big oak tree. If the gods could strike down Ygdrasil, then nothing was safe! Better not go back. -Do you remember your special sign, the Ygdrasil sign?" Edward asked. The funny tree like no tree that ever was I used to draw on bits of paper? I still do, Edward! On blotters, and on telephone books, and on bridge scores I doodle It an the time. Give me a pencil.” He handed her a pencil and notebook. and laughing, she drew the ridiculous tree. -Yes," he said, -that’s Ygdrasil." They had come almost to the top of the path. Henrietta sat on a fallen tree trunk. Edward oat down beside her. She looked down through the trees. Tt’s a little like Ainswick here —a kind of pocket Ainswick. I’ve sometimes wondered—Edward, do you think that that is why Lucy and Henry came here?” Tt’s possible.” -One never knows,” said Henrietta slowly, -what goes on in Lucy’s head.” Then she asked, "What have you been doing with yourself, Edward, since I saw you Mat?” -Nothing, Henrietta.” That sounds very peaceful.” Tve never been very good at—doing things." She threw him a quick glance. There had been something in his tons. . , . But he was smiling at her quietly. And again she felt that rush of deep affection. -Perhaps," she said, -you are "Wise?” * -Not to do things.” ' Edward said slowly, That’s ar odd thing for you to say, Henrietta. You, who’ve been so success* ful." "Do you think of ms as successful? How funny." "But you are, my dear. You’re an artist You must bo proud of yourself—you can’t help being.” T know," said Henrietta. "A lot of people say that to me. They don’t understand—they don't understand the first thing about it! You don’t Edward. Sculpture isn’t a thing you set out to do and succeed in. It’s a thing that gets at you, that nags at you—and haunts you—so that sooner or later, you’ve got to make terms with it And than, for a Mt you got som« '

Henrietta did not answer, and Edwanl went on: That’s it, isn’t it? If there were no John Christow in the world you would marry me." Henrietta said harshly, “I can’t imagine a world in which there was no John Christow! That’s what you’ve got to understand.” Ts it’s like that, why on earth doesn’t the fellow get a divorce from his wife and then you could marry?" “John doesn't want to get a divorce from his wife. And I don’t know that I should want to marry John if he did. It isn't—it isn’t the least like you think." Edward said in a thoughtful, considering way: “John Christow. , ■ > There are too many John Christows in this world .. "You’re wrong," said Henrietta. ’There are very few people like John ..."
