Some men are knighted and some are indicted, but there’s a comipon show-down when they get to the pearly gates. o o This atomic business seems to mean that the smallest things in the world are the biggest and the most important. Laws may be passed and all sorts of schemes worked out on how to get more houses built, but the one step that would help most, would be a reduction in building costs. o o Old Jack Frost, stay away. The first report of frost conies from Sioux Falls, S. D„ where the temperature dropped to 31 degrees.

With all the millions rolling in to the state treasury from gross income, excise and cigarette taxes Hoosiers can’t understand why it was necessary to hike the state levy. o o Many political leaders think that a special session of congress would be a pre-view of the 1948 party conventions. Politics would be injected no doubt and the leaders would vie for popular attention. "With this consideration and the fact that congress was considering world problems as a basis for meeting, wouldn't help in passing the needed legislation. Many of the leaders prefer waiting until

Skin Ills Aided by Penicillin

By Herman N. Bundescn, I*l. D. Since nearly everybody knows from experience what a let of discomfort a single boil can cause, it doesn’t take a great deal of imagination to understand the plight of those who have skin disorders ■which cause whole crops of these •unsightly sores. In the past, little enough could be done directly to clear up such infections, but today it looks as if penicillin, the wonder drug to which we owe so much in oft her fields, will also give us a quick and simple way of dealing with maujv of these trouble makers. Blister-Like Swellings One of these, folliculitis of the beard, is the special plague of men. Infection and the formation ors blis-ter-like swellings appear ■around the hair roots of the beard When these blisters break opcm, the fluids they release form a crust on the skin of the face. , This has always been -one of the most stubborn of skin infections but with penicillin treatments cures have been reported inj a« short a time as three to twenty-three days. Though treatment w-ftn penicillin •given by mouth has been tried the most successful method in a number of cases seeuifi@t»o have been through injections of in the neighborhood of 600,1100 units of penicillin daily plus pairuting of the itferted erea with a Mflutmn rd rxni-

the regular convening of congress next January to take up domestic and European relief matters. o o With so much money floating around, owner’s should be careful how they carry it on their person. A Pennsylvania farmer sold his farm for $14,150, pocketed the money and went to Detroit. Someone picked his pocket and his life's savings were gone. If you ever get that much money, bank it before you travel, or a slicker may have your roll. o o Have we been getting a true picture of the British crisis? J. B. Priestley, the British novelist and playwright, writing in the New York Times Magazine, doubts it. Part of the story comes from the British papers, largely owned by Tories. Other reports are brought by Bitish travelers who belong to the wealthier classes. Miners and dock laborers do not take ocean trips and get interviewed by American reporters. O Q The County Tax Adjustment board approved all the local tax levies, making one recommendation that the poll levy in Berne be reduced to $1.24 annually, for even division purposes. The rates now go to the state tax commissioners for review and final approval. Inaugurated a decade ago, the tax adjusters in most counties have been following the approval policy in recent years, because the law prescribes that the state body shall have final jurisdiction. The legislature may be asked to revamp the present system, since most of the loottntjr tax adjusters just'mdet-for one day and the rates. . i o —o Vice-Presidents: If Secretary of Agriculture Clinton P. Anderson is correctly reported as hankering for the Democratic vice-presidential nomination, he should come from a state with more electoral votes than New Mexico, whose three votes would not impress the average party convention as entitling her to second place on the ticket. Usually vice-presidential candi-j dates come from populous states. In 1944 the Democrats, as is now well known, chose a candidate from Missouri. His Republican opponent, John W. Bricker, was an j Ohioan. These choices illustrate: the common practice. The one exception in recent years occurred in 1940 when Wendell L. Willkie’s running mate was Senator Charles L. McNary of Oregon. While Oregon had but five electoral votes, McNary was the Republican leader of the Senate.i If the 1948 conventions run true to past political form, they will choose vice-presidential candidates I from the dozen most populous states.

cillin once a day with an applicator, a piece of cotton on the end of a small stick or tooth pick. Rapid Action Penicillin also has a rapid action in cases of ordinary boils or furuncles. Here too, injection of peniciiin into a muscle seem to give good results in many cases. Treatment in which the penicillin ta given by mouth has similar but slower effects, but it has been found that applying penicillin directly to a boil has no value, except to speed healing a little when the furuncle is already open and discharging its infected material. Another disorder in which injections of penicillin have made for a speedy healing is known as ecthyma. The sores in ecthyma are even larger than those caused by boils, and are most likely to occur on the legs. Yields to Penicillin Impetigo, a skin inflammation which causes blisters and crusts, also yields rapidly to penicillin whether applied locally to the area or given by injection. ft goes without saying. that for an infection ©to respond to ■penicillin, it must be caused by germs which penicillin will attack, in all other cases even this sovereign remedy will be uselese. Thus, before using it, the doctor must know, either through experience or laboratory testp. just germs are responsible for the disorder *

The Poe fire department defeated Decatur in the finals of a water ball contest, one of the features of the day’s program, with half a dozen area department teams participating. Greased pole and other contests were included in the program, along with an auction sale. Several concessions were erected, including a barbecue stand, with all proceeds going to the Poe volunteer fire department, sponsors of the event. Martin Gallmeyer as chairman and a committee of firemen were in charge of the festival. Numerous prizes were awarded . contest winners and other festivalgoers. 0 jh r A FORMER editor of the “Daily Worker”, Louis F.

Italian Peace Treaty Goes In Effect Tonight. Ratified Copies Os Peace Treaty Filed By Leading Powers Paris, Sept. 15 — (UP) —ltaly was restored to full international respectability again today when Russia, the United States and Britain filed ratified copies of the Italian peace treaty with the French government. The treaty, which formally juts Italy at peace with the world for the first time since June 10, 1940 goes into full effect at midnight, G. M. T. (8 p. m., E.D.T.) Ratification of the treaties of Nazi Germany's other four junior partners — Romania, Bulgaria, Hungary and Finland —will be deposited with foreign minister Viacheslav M. Molotov in Moscow later today. The big four — the United States. Britain. France and Russia—already had ratified the treaties. But they could not take effect until ratified copies of the treaty were exchanged formally,. Three months from today, Allied occupation troops are bound , by treaty to have been with-1 drawn from the former axis satellites. Russia may leave enough troops to maintain its communications lines with Austria. Os all the satellites, Italy paid the heaviest price for defeat. It lost the Venezia-Giulia area west of Trieste to Yugoslavia; Trieste was made an international city; Italy was shorn of its colonies —Libya. Eritrea , and the j Somaliland—and France got five small border Alpine areas, including the towns of Tesda and Bri’ga. Yugoslavia will not be able to take full possession of its acquisition from Italy until tomorrow. Allied military officials announced last night that. American and British forces would not be withdrawn from the Morgan line in Venezia-Giulia, across which they have been facing the troops of Marshall Tito, until Tuesday. Weak,Watery Blood Blamed for Making Men and Women Look and Feel Older THAN THEIR YEARS How do you feel at the end of a day? Is that old time pep and drive lacking? Have you checked-up on your blood strength lately? Thousands now regaining glowing good looks and vitality through the release of vibrant energy to every muscle, fibre, cell. Every day—every hour—millions of tiny red-blood-cells must pour forth from the marrow of your bones to replace those that are worn-out. A low blood count may affect you in several ways: no appetite, underweight, no energy, a general run-down condition, lack of resistance to Infection and disease. To get real relief you must keep up your blood strength. Medical authorities, by analysis of the blood, have by positive proof shown that SSS Tonic is amazingly effective in building up low blood strength in non-organlc nutritional anemia. This is due to the SSS Tonic formula which contains special and potent activating ingredients. Also. SSS Tonic helps you enjoy the food vou eat by increasing the gastric digestive juice when it is non-organl-cally too little or scanty—thus the stomach will have little cause to get balky with gas, bloat and give off that sour food taste.

Dori’t wait! Energize your body with rich, red-blood. Start on SSS Tonic now. As vigorous blood surges throughout your whole body, greater freshness and strength should make you eat better, sleep better, feel better, w’ork better, play better, have a healthy color glow In your skin—firm flesh fill out hollow places. Millions of bottles sold. Get a bottle from your drug store. SSS Tonic helps Build Sturdy Health.

Their reason was that all the ratifications would not be deposited until late today, and they saw no necessity for withdrawing their troops at night. The last Italian refugees from Pola, which becomes Yugoslavian, reached Trieste late yesterday. Pola’s civilian officials are scheduled to reach Trieste today. Trieste, between Italians and Slovenes, becomes a ward of the United Nations.

CHAPTER FORTY-THREE THE CORONER cleared his throat and looked expectantly at the foreman of the jury. The Latter looked down at the piece of paper he held in his hand. His Adam’s apple wagged up and down excitedly. He read out in a careful voice: “We find that the deceased came to his death by willful murder by some person or persons unknown.” Poirot nodded his head quietly in his corner by the wall. There could be no other possible verdict. Outside, the Angkatells stopped a moment to speak to Gerda and her sister. Gerda was wearing the same black clothes as before. Her face had the same dazed, unhappy expression. This time there was no Daimler. The train service, Elsie Patterson explained, was really very good. A fast train to Waterloo and they could easily catch the 1:20 to Bexhill. Lady Angkatell, clasping Gerda’s hand, murmured: "You must keep in touch with us, my dear. A little lunch, perhaps, one day in London? I expect you’ll come up to do shopping occasionally?” “I—l don’t know," said Gerda. Elsie Patterson said: “We must hurry, dear, our train,” and Gerda turned away with an expression of relief, Midge said: “Poor Gerda. The only thing John’s death has done for her is to set her free from your terrifying hospitality, Lucy.” “How kind you are. Midge. Nobody could say I didn't try.” “You are much worse when you try. Lucy." “Well, it’s very nice to think it’s all over, isn’t it?" said Lady Angkatell, beaming at them. “Except, of course, for poor Inspector Grange. I do feel so sorry for him. Would it cheer him up, do you think, if we asked him back to lunch? As a friend. I mean.” “I should let well alone. Lucy,” said Sir Henry. “Perhaps you are right,” said Lady Angkatell meditatively. “And anyway, it isn’t the right kind of lunch today. Partridges au Choux —and that delicious souffle surprise that Mrs. Medway makes so well. Not at all Inspector Grange’s kind of lunch. A really good steak, a little underdone, and a good oldfashioned apple tart with no nonsense about it—or perhaps apple dumplings—that’s what I should order for Inspector Grange." “Your instincts about food are always very sound. Lucy. I think we had better get home to those partridges—they sound delicious.” “Well, I thought we ought to have some celebration! It’s wonderful, isn’t it, how everything always seems to turn out for the best ?” “Ye-es—" “I know what you’re thinking, Henry, but don’t worry. I shall attend to it this afternoon.” “What are you up to now, Lucy?” Lady Angkatell smiled at him. “It’s quite all right, darling. Just tucking in a loose end.” - Sir Henry looked at her doubtfully. When they reached The Hollow Gudgeon came o» to open the door of the car. “Everything went off very satisfactorily, Gudgeon,” said Tady “Please JgJJ Meri-

I know how unpleasant it has been for you all, and I should like to tell you now how much Sir Henry and I have appreciated the loyalty you have all shown.” “We have been deeply concerned for you, m’lady,” said Gudgeon. “Very sweet of Gudgeon," said Lucy as she went into the drawing room, “but really wasted. I have really almost enjoyed it all — so different, you know, from what one is accustomed to. Don’t you feel, David, that an experience like this has broadened your mind? It must be so different from Cambridge.” “I am at Oxford,” said David coldly. Lady Angkatell said vaguely, "The dear boat race. So English, don’t you think?" and went toward the telephone. She picked up the receiver and holding it in her hand she went on: “I do hope, David, that you will come and stay with us again. It’s so difficult, isn’t it, to get to know people when there is a murder? And quite impossible to have any really intellectual conversation.” “Thank you," said David. “But when I come down I am going to Athens —to the British School.” Lady Angkatell turned to her husband. “Who’s got the Embassy, now? Oh, of course—Hope-Remmington. No, I don’t think David would like them. Those girls of theirs are so terribly hearty. They play hockey and cricket and the funny game where you catch the thing in a net.” She broke off, looking down at the telephone receiver. "Now what am I doing with this thing?” “Perhaps you were going to ring someone up.” said Edward. “I don’t think so.” She replaced it. “Do you like telephones, David?" It was the sort of question, David reflected irritably, that she would ask; one to which there could be no intelligent answer. He replied coldly that he supposed they were useful. “You mean,” said Lady Angkatell, “like mincing machines? Or elastic bands? All the same, one wouldn’t—” She broke cff as Gudgeon appeared in the doorway to announce lunch. “But you like partridges,” said Lady Angkatell io David anxiously. David admitted that be liked partridges. • • • “Sometimes I think Lucy really is a bit touched,” said Midge, as she and Edward strolled over from the house and up toward the woods. The partridges and the souffle surprise had been excellent and with the inquest over a weight had lifted from the atmosphere. Edward said thoughtfully: “I always think Lucy has a brilliant mine that expresses itself like a missing word competition. To mix metaphors—the hammer jumps from nail to nail and’never fails to hit each one squarely on the head.” "All the same,” Midge said so : berly, "Lucy®frightens me sometimes." She added, with a Unj ■ shiver, "This place has frightenec r me lately." • Hollow.?".
