Show that interest by voting in the city election next Tuesday. o o Britons banned American pictures and then cut down on tobacco imports, which will force the men to give up smoking. They have a word for it, austerity. ——o o Perhaps if the Russians had football and baseball teams to follow, and radios to hear them on when they cannot go in person, they would take political life less seriously. 0 Q The campaign against rats should never cease. The rodents not only carry disease, but do a great deal of damage to property. It is estimated that a rat will eat two bushels of corn a year, making its board bill about $5 annually. Help rid the country of rats. o o Revolutions do not go backward. The British Labor party announces that the constitutional revolution of 1911, which sharply curbed the veto power of the House of Lords, is to be carried further. The Conservatives will doubtless fight the new change, and to no effect. However they may denounce it now, it is safe to predict, that if they ever regain power, they will not try to restore the power of the House ot Lords. o 0 1 I In many states, particularly in' New England, fire wardens have forbidden hunting, though the season is officially open, because a spark from a gun could kindle a raging blast in the dry forests. Already Maine and several other states have bad giant fires, damaging hundreds of acres of dry woods, destroying homes, mills and factories, leaving hundreds homeless. The fall rains will be most welcome in those sections where aridness created hazards to life and property. o o If all of the people in Canada were moved to the United States, it goes without saying that the increase in population would be felt]

If Pain Around Shoulder is Felt

By Herman N. Bundesen, W. D. AROUND the shoulder is a sac containing fluid known as the subacromial bursa, whose function is to cushion the movement of the joint in this area and keep the bones from grating or grinding when we use them. Sometimes, however, this bursa becomes In- . flamed and then, instead of assisting movement, it impedes it, causing tenderness around the shoulder and pain when the arm is lifted or rotated outward. Turing recent years an increasing number of instances of pain around the shoulder due to this cause have been noted. The condition is called subacromial bursitis and it is believed that injury accounts for the inflammation in most cases. It may, however, develop because of infections elsewhere in the body, as in the roots of the teeth, the tonsils or the sinuses. The symptoms of supacromial Bursitis consist of tenderness around the shoulder and some pain on the movement of the arm. The patient usually raises his arm in a jerky fashion until it is at a right angle to the trunk. There is also spasm of the muscle. As the condition continues, the pain increases when any attempt is made to raise the arm beyopd a right eagle. Movement of the arm js restricted, and the pain at times

in city, town and hamlet. Since 1939, the normal increase in our country's growth equals all that of Canada. No wonder there is a shortage of houses and so many automobiles the highways are cluttered on week-ends. In Indiana alone, the population has climbed 40*,000 in the last eight years, and is going up at the rate of 8,000 a month with the arrival of babies. We need to produce more to satisfy the 143,000,000 people in this country. With all due respect for the institutions and agencies which administer to the aged and infirm, it should be remembered that tax laws do not permit creation of funds for youth, except for the operation of schools. A boy or girl has a life of service ahead of them. Upon them the nation depends. The better we care for youth and instill principles of good citizenship in the boys and girls, greater will be the dividends in community living. The way to help youth is to support the Decatur Community Fund, and make it possible to carry through character building programs. o o Not Political: As the special session of Congress prepares to swing into stride, it is a good time for Americans to remind themselves that some things are not political. Americans like a good scrap. They enjoy argument, sharp humor and general yelling-around. They can take quite a little name-calling and once in four years they certainly do enjoy a good free-for-all fight over 'eletting high Officers. They learn quite a little about public affairs in spite of themselves, and they prove to themselves and the world that the people run the show here in America. But some things are not fit subject for domestic squabbles. Food is not political. It is needed by all the world. Uncle Sam cannot feed all the world alone, nor should he try. But he has the greatest share this year, and many of his brothers in other lands are in dire need. He must help. There should be no political pulling-and-hauling over food. Democrat and Republican should sit down together and work out the best way to see that Americans are fed with as little waste as possible and that plenty is sent to those who need it. Farm and industrial machinery for the reconstruction of western Europe falls into the same class as food. With it, Europe can soon feed, clothe and take care of itself. Without it, reconstruction will take dangerously long. Keeping western Europe from falling into communistic slavery is not political. It is a job requiring the best brains of all the people.

. may be so severe as to interfere . with sleep and normal activities. In addition, the X-ray will show s some changes in the head of the . bone in the upper arm, known as ' the humerus. It becomes irregular , in outline and often there are deposits of calcium or lime salts in ’ the tissues around the shoulder. Deposits of lime salts represent Nature’s attempt to heal the injury . or inflammation of the bursa. The calcium deposit varies in i size from fine granules to large deposits, which may fill the bursal sac. In some instances, it is pos--1 sible to aspirate or draw out some ’ of these calcium deposits. ’ i Insofar as treatment of subacromial bursitis is concerned, a number of methods have been suggested. Often, complete rest is of benefit. Washing out of the bursa with salt solution may be of value in some cases. Puncturing the , bursa itself may often give relief I from pain. X-ray treatment will relieve the acute pain almost im mediately in many instances. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS J. S.: Is gray hair .caused by a vitamin deficiency? If'so, will certain vitamins prevent this condition? Answer: I know of no evidence which proves that vitamin deficiency causes gray hair nor is there any treatment with vitamins which will keep hair from turning gray-

“AS MAINE GOES-r Haste

O o I Modern Etiquette i By ROBERTA LEE O O Q. Is it correct to say “excuse me” when getting in another person's way, or if guilty of any seeming discourtesy? A. No; the correct phrase is "I’m sorry” or, “I beg your pardon.” Q. Isn't it rude to stand in the aisle of a store to chat with a friend? A. Yes, or in the middle of a sidewalk. One should step aside where the passage of others will not be obstructed. Q. May a bride's maid of honor wear any kind of ornaments? A. No. o r> o I Household Scrapbook I By ROBERTA LEE | O n Plant Fertilizer Here is a simple and good fertilizer for your plants; Mix a little ammonia in the water with which you sprinkle your plants. This will fertlize the soil and tend to keep away many insects. Coffee The flavor of coffee will be more delicious if it is allowed to stand for a few minutes after removing from the fire. Pouring a little cold water into the spout will also have a settling effect. Chill Candles If you place candles in the refrigerator for a few days before using, they will last longer and the wax is less likely to drip.
