Treating Ringworm of Feet

By Herman N. Bundesen, M. D. MEDICINE, like industry, was largely mobilized during the war to nerve the men of our fighting forces. With so much talent concentrating on the medical problems of most common occurrence among our troops, it is not surprising that new forms of treatment were found for a variety of conditions. Among these new treatments are several for ringworm of the feet, which used to be a very troublesome and stubborn disorders. It is still a very common one. Ringworm of the feet causes itching, cracking and peeling of the skin on the soles of the feet and between the toes, frequently with the formation of blisters. The condition, if neglected, may be so extensive as to cause pain and disability. Some experiments were carried out under the Research Division of the United States Navy to determine as acurately as possible the value of certain substances in the prevention and treatment of ringworm of the feet. In testing the various preparations, one type was put on one foot and another type on a similar area of the other foot. Then, after a period of time, the feet were examined to determine in which instance ringworm infection had developed. About one-fourth of the men studied had evidence cf ringworom infection of the feet. The preparation tried out contained such substances as zinc undecylenate, sodium propionate, or calcium propionate, and combin?.tieae of these preparations. Certain jodine-containing substances

Another terrible disaster took its roll of dead in an airplane crashup over Bryce’s canyon in Utah, i. With 52 persons on the plane, the t death toll was complete. With all of our great inventions, it seems *I that airplanes could be made firet proof, the cause of the tragedy being ascribed to a fire which broke s out in the luggage compartment. Something must be done, or air ' travel will go to the discards. o o When Red Ruffing was releas- ’ ed by Chicago the other day, it 3 ended any last lingering hope of s his being one of the few pitchers to win 300 games. Ruffing has won 272, and two more seasons would let him reach the coveted r mark that only pitchers before him have attained. Had it not been for the war, Ruffing would undoubtedly have made it. His four years in the service spoiled his chances. > t o o If Stalin, the Russian dictator, wants no mote war, as he is credit- : ed with stating, that seems to i make it unanimous. Certainly Bri- ; tain and America have no desire s for war, viewed for any purpose or from any angle. There are doubtless some smaller nations, nursing grudges of one kind and another, or eager to take advantages here and there as they may develop; but even they dread war with its dire disasters; and in general, the world's attitude and desire is for peace. o o As expected, Senator Taft has thrown his hat into the political ring and becomes an avowed candidate for the Republican presidential nomination. There is no denying that the Ohio senator will have heavy support, for the record of the past congress is largely due to his leadership and many of the conservatives like his style. Today, he looms more prominently than Dewey or any other member of the charmed circle. However, the coming special session of congress may be his undoing, for he might strike the wrong chord. o o “Russia will not leave the United Nations because that would deprive her of a wonderful soundingboard. The proceedings of the UN are world news. Articles in Pravda or speeches to a Russian audience do not begin to command the attention that is given to an address before the Security Council." This point, made by former Judge Dorothy Kenyon of New York, an American delegate to the UN Commission on the Status of Women, I has much to recommend it. As far as leaving the UN is concerned, the Russian bark is decidedly more than its bite.

known as dioduquin and vioform in the form of powders were also used. Preventing Infection It was found that the zinc undecylenate preparation was the most effective in preventing ringworm infections. With the use of this substance more than eight out of ten of those tested were kept from developing the condition. The iodine-containing preparations were next in efficiency. These preparations were also found effective in clearing up the ringworm infection. As I have stated, these ringworm infections of the feet vary greatly in their extent and severity. Treatment which may quickly relieve one type, may not only be valueless in another but may even serve to make the condition worse. Thus when a ringworm infection of the feet is present, the wisest thing to do is to consult a skin specialist, who will then be able to determine what sort of treatment will be most satisfactory. For example, in an acute widespread case, it may be necessary to use one type of preparation at the beginning, followed by another preparation to complete the cure. In some cases, X-ray treatments are of some value, but such treatments are not necessary in all cases. Old cases, where the infection has been present for some time, require different treatment from recent ones. Thus, the only safe cousse is to consult a specialist who will know which of the new treatment! brought out by the war is safest and best ifi any given case.

CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE CHARLES WAS studying Gail, curiously intent “Are you trying to tell me that you’re not in love with Greg, after all?” he demanded. “Nor is Greg in love with me. Isn’t it nice we both feel the same about it?” she said quickly. “It’s been fun here and I’ve loved it this summer, but—well, I suppose seeing Karen and Mrs. Dillinghast sort of woke me up from thinking I’d like to live here forever. I mean, after all, I guess I’m too accustomed to places like the Dillinghasts—” Once more her voice died. Greg was no longer looking at her. His eyes were on his plate, and he was rolling a small bread crumb from the cold toast that he had not touched. Charles looked hard at Gail and she all but cried out at the look in his eyes. He was disappointed in her, and it hurt that this should be so. She wanted more than anything else in the world, Charles’ pride in her, his approval—his affection. But she steeled herself to go through with the scene; she had to salvage a few remnants of her tortured pride or she could never live with herself again. At the moment nothing in the world seemed as desperately important as getting through this scene without betraying her hurt and her heartache. “I am sorry, chick,” said Charles quietly, and even his tone seemed changed. “But of course, I can’t blame you. After all, I suppose life does seem pretty grim to a girl brought up as you have been. I suppose Lissa is back in town?” Gail clenched her hands tightly in her lap. “No. She will be back in about a month,” she managed to say clearly. “She wants me to go and stay with the Dillinghasts until she gets back.” “I see,” said Charles politely. For a moment Kate’s eyes went from his suddenly drawn face to Gail, and there was anger and bitterness in them. Because Gail had hurt Charles, and anything that hurt Charles always brought out the tigress in Kate’s usually gentle nature. “So if you’ll lend me the station wagon to get to town, I’ll be off,” said Gail, with sudden, almost hysteric gaity. “It’s been fun and I’ve loved it, and—you, Father.” Her voice shook just a little and her eyes were bright with unshed tears. But she braced herself and turned to the others brightly. “And you have been so sweet, Kate —I’m very grateful. And knowing you, Norah, is one of the nicest things tljat’s ever happened to me.” They waited, without sound, for her last words to Greg. I She spoke them quietly, aknoet colorlessly. ■ “And I’» terribly sorfy, Gre*—•

Candidates Swing Into Closing Week City Elections In State November 4 Indianapolis, Oct. 27 — (UP) — Candidates swung into the final week of the Indiana municipal and 10th district special congressional election campaigns today in preparation for the voting a week from tomorrow. National interest was centered ch the congressional race in the east central Indiana district, where Republican Ralph Tlarvey of New Castle and Democrat Frank Hanley of Muncie sought the house seat vacated by the death two months ago of Rep. Raymond S. Springer, R., Connersville. State interest was divided between this race and the results of mayor contests in 97 of the 102 cities. The Republicans now hold 74 of the mayor offices, the Democrats 28. Political leadiers expected to see in the city elections some indications of a trend toward the voting in 1948’s important presidential election. Five nominees for mayor w T ere assured of going into office Jan. 1, 1948, regardless of the outcome of the Nov. 4 balloting. At Angola, Jasper, Loogootee, Rensselaer, and -Warsaw, there was only one candidate for mayor. and so three Republicans and two Democrats were to be elected automatically. In Nappanee, Mintle Hostetter, R„ was opposed by William Wedrnoyer, running on a citizen’s ticket, but there was no Democrat to block his way. The field of candidates for mayor included 38 incumbents. Sixteen other mayors fell by the wayside last May, victims of strong opposition in the primary. The only one of these 38 mayors trying for re-election who was sure of his status was Mayor Herbert E. Thyen, D., Jasper, who was unopposed. Likewise unopposed were Hershel Jones, D., Loogootee; Glen Beatty, R., Angola; William Bahler, R. Rensselaer and Charles

“I’ll probably recover,” Greg cut in briefly. For just a moment their eyes locked, and in Greg’s there was, for a fleeting moment, a touch of something that was almost respect; brief, unwilling, almost incredulous. “I’m sure you will,” she answered him evenly. As though unable any longer to endure her presence, he thrust back his chair and rose. “I’ll get the station wagon,” he said quietly. “You’ll have time to make the nine-forty if we step on it.” After the door had closed behind him there was a taut silence at the table. Gail could not trust herself to speak lest the tears that crowded so close betray her. And the others seemed not to be able to think of anything to say. Charles cleared his throat and looked at her and said, at last, "You are going to these friends of yours, Gail?” “The Dillinghasts? Yes, of course.” Gail’s tone was falsely bright, a little high. “You’ll need some money—” Charles began. “Oh, no, I shan’t. I have plenty,” Gail assured him swiftly. Charles looked puzzled. “But your friends are in New York.” “They’re in Maine,” Gail cut in swiftly. “I have plenty of money for my ticket and I shan’t need any after I get there.” “But—” "Honestly, Father, I’ve everything I need,” she assured him. and was on her feet. “I musn’t keep Greg waiting. He’ll want to get back to work.” She ran out of the room and up the stairs. So far, so good, she told herself shakily as she stood against the closed door, bracing herself for the last and worst part of the ordeal. Being alone with Greg on that drive to town was going to be hardest of alt If only she could keep her composure untjl she was on the train! If only, some way, she could avoid those last few minutes alone with him! She had salvaged some-shabby remnants of her fierce young pride; if only she could get aboard the train with that much still intact! She heard the sound of the station wagon in the drive and drew a long hard breath, lifting her pretty chin, bracing herself. There was a knock at the door and Charles came in, saying quietly, ‘Til help you get your bags to the car.” She set her teeth hard and bent to the mirror to settle her silly little hat at a slightly more outrageously smart angle. Her heart was hammering hard. She mustn’t let Charles suspect— Behind sees fee said slowly, "I’m SfeSty chick. abfrut Ybq Gfef.

I thought it was all going to work out so well.” “Oh, well, it was just one of those things,” was all she could find to say. “Yes, of course.” Charles sighed and picked up the two largest cases. “Naturally we wouldn't want you to stay if you aren’t sure you could be happy. But I’ll miss you, chick. It’s been pretty wonderful knowing you at last, having you here.” She set her teeth and blinked very hard before she found the courage to turn and face him, eyes bright with unshed tears, but a small, courageous smile on her mouth. "I’ve loved it, Father,” she told him honestly. “It's been the most wonderful time of my life.” Charles said Impulsively, “You’re quite sure, chick? This isn’t just some foolish lovers’ quarrel?” “Oh, no, Father. This is the way it has to be,” she told him. Her voice was trembling in spite of herself, but she forced herself to go on, “I guess I’m more Lissa’s daughter than I thought, Father. After all, this had the charm of novelty at first, but novelty wears off.” Charles’ shoulders drooped a little, but perhaps that was because of the weight of the bags. “Yes, of course,” he agreed, and turned toward the door. She waited Until she heard the sound of his footsteps, somehow heavier than she ever remembered them, going down the stairs. Then she caught up her other bags and struggled downstairs with them. Norah and Kate were waiting uncertainly at 'the stairs. Norah came up to relieve her of some of the baggage and went with her out of the house. Kate paused on the steps and gave Gail a level look. “Goodby, Kate—and thanks for everything,” said Gail, cut to the quick by the look in Kate’s usually kind, affectionate eyes. “Goodby, Gail. I hope you will be very happy,” said Kate quietly, almost without expression. She could not forgive Gail for dealing such a hurt to Charles, and of course to Greg. And there was nothing Gail could do except mutter thanks and turn to the station wagon. Norah said, “I hope you won’t mind, Gail, but Greg asked me to ride in with you. There are some things Kate wants before we start canning tomatoes tomorrow." Gail felt a little sharp stab of mingled grief and pain. So Greg was as unwilling to face the enforced intimacy of that drive alone with her as she was. He had asked Norah to go; Gail told herself fiercely that she was gIad—GLAD! And bit back the tears that crowded upon her as she got into the back seat, leaving the front to Greg and Norah. <To Be Oosttoved)
