Large Chicken House Destroyed By Fire Berne, Feb. 3 — A large chicken house on the Eli Dubach farm in Hartford township, southwest of Linn Grove, was completely deBtroyed by fire Monday afternoon and 100 chickens in the building perished. The rural fire departments from Berne and Geneva answered the alarms and saved the large family residence from destruction as the wind was carrying the flames directly towards it. The fire in the chicken house started when an oil heater exploded.

This was due to muscular rheumatism. His muscles were swollen and his legs so stiff and sore that he couldn’t walk without limping. He was in misery. Recently he started taking TRU-AID and says the feeling like his bones were broken disappeared the second day. The swelling and stiffness has gone from his muscles; now he can walk without suffering and says j he feels like a new man. TRU-AID contains Three Great Medical Ingredients which go right to the very source of rheumatic and neuritic aches and pains. Miserable people soon feel ( different all over. So don’t go on suffering! Get TRU-AID. Sold by All Drug Stores here in De- ' catur. 1

15 Percent Os Thyroid Cancer Patients May Now Be Treated

BY PAUL F. ELLIS (Copyright 1948 by United Press) New York, Feb. 3.—(UP)—An airplane, bearing a precious cargo, takes off from Nashvile, Tenn. At the same time, a patient lies desperately ill in a hospital in New York. The patient needs that precious cargo, and needs it fast. The plane is carrying radioactive iodine. It is atomicvmedicine and may save or prolong the patient's life. He has cancer, but he is lucky. This patient has cancer of the thyroid and about 15 percent of such cancer patients can be treated with radioactive iodine. He is in that select group. The cargo flown from the atomic energy ovens in Tennessee is really a bundle of exploding atoms. Technicallly, it is known as iodine 131. Speed in the shipment of radioactive iodine is essential. This particular radioactive substance loses half of its radiation in eight days. After that half of its remaining radiation is lost in the next eight days. This . goes on until finally all radiation disappears. Then it becomes another element known as xenon, a gas of the neon family. Such radioactive substance is being sent to numerous hospitals all over the country. The “best customer” of Oak Ridge is New York’s Memorial hospital for cancer and allied diseases. At the time that the air liner takes off from Tennessee it is usually the rule that scientists at Memorial have a patient prepared to receive this atomic medicine.

Opposes Demands Os Railway Unions Termed Subterfuge For Wage Increase Chicago, Feb. 3 — (UP) — Howard Neitzert, counsel for the nation’s railroads, told a presidential emergency fact-finding board that demands of three railroad unions for 25 changes in work rules are “wage demands in disguise.” The board was appointed bV

w . ’ pl A KAISER or a FRAZER gives you more miles per gallon!

The best way we know to offset higher gasoline prices is to drive a Kaiser or a Frazer. Their 100% postwar engineering provides economy beyond your fondest expectations! This boon to the thrift-minded is especially astonishing to people who previously owned prewar cars. They report that Kaisers and Frazers are giving them many more miles per gallon than they ever got before! And today that means a saving of not just cents, but dollars! The reasons for such exceptional mileage are clear-cut. K-F chassis design is new. It takes every advantage of the accelerated technical advances made during the war year#. For example, the horsepower-to-weight ratio is notably higher than in prewar design. The same is true of the compression ratio — the highest in any car on the road! And this means the most efficient use of costly fuel! Vital and important as it is, greater economy is only one of the many advantages of fully postwar design you will find in the Kaiser and the Frazer. Come in and let us give you a demonstration. Discover all the exclusive new features you should not be without in your next car! You’ll be glad!

DECATUR DAILY DEMOcfcr, DECATUR,

Previously the Memorial scientI ists had informed the Oak Ridge i laboratories of the amount desired , for a single shipment. Regardless t of the amount requested it is s usually shipped in about three i ouifces of distilled water. This water, with the radioactive iodine. ! is placed in a leaden cylinder about eight inches tall and six inches in s diameter, which in turn is placed in a wooden box. All this proi tects the transportation personi nel, as well as the passengers on the plane, from penetrating radiation. Shipment of an isotope usually leaves Oak Ridge by air on Tuesdays and it arrives at a New York airport several hours later.. Sometimes it takes more time for the cargo to be delivered from the airfield to the hospital than it takes from Tennessee to New York. All during such deliveries the radioactive substance is rapidly losing its force. That radiation time is lost beyond recovery. Some airlines still refuse to carry radioactive substances in the mistaken fear that the radiation may affect delicate instruments used in the operation of a plane. Memorial’s scientists say the surface radiation coming off a properly packed isotope is no greater than the radiation from the radium dial of a pilot’s wristwatch. Radioactive iodine is made in the atomic ovens by exposing tellurium to the penetrating rays emitted in the uranium ovens. The radioactive iodine throws off radiation, one being known as Beta rays and the other Gamma rays.

President Truman after the engineers, firemen and switchmen’s brotherhoods scheduled a strike in support of demands for the rule changes and a 3Q percent wage increase. It began gathering evidence in the dispute yesterday. Neitzert said the demands for rules changes “do not represent a bona fide effort to correct unsatisfactory or improper working conditions, but are a subterfuge for obtaining additional wage increases.” He said the unions made the demands for the further purpose of “coercing the railroads into granting the union's excessive wage demands.” The three brotherhoods originally

set the strike for Feb. 1, but under terms of the national railway act, appointment of the fact-finding board automatically defers the strike for at least 30 days. The board will .gather evidence and report its recommendations to Mr. Truman. The board can request an additional 30-day extension if necessary. Neitzert asked the board to recommend 15 changes in the rules which the railroads contend will “increase operating efficiency — and Improve the quality of service. He said the changes proposed by the roads also would mean savings in payroll coste which “might run as much as $100,000,000 a year” but that the saving “is of minor importance” to the railroads. “Adoption of the railroads’ proposals — would free the railroads from some of the shackles that now prevent full utilization of plant and equipment to achieve greater productivity — necessary to pay higher wages,” Neitzert said. o In colonial North Carolina ammunition was so scarce that every vessel not owned in the state had to pay a tonnage duty on gunpowder, *gun>=hot and flints. 0 Trade In n Good Town — Decatur -- 0 CONTINUE FIGHT (Continued from -"age 1' who ruled in favor of the coinmis- & high school students! * ' JU4 1 Kopman <.

“On a 4-day, 1212-mile trip around Lake Michigan, we averaged IS'/s miles to the gallon . . . our new Kaiser is economical to operate and performs beautifully.”—From a Chicago Office Worker. “My Frazer is the finest car I could have bought at any price. The easy, comfortable ride — at any speed — is in my opinion the outstanding feature. Economy and performance are unbelievable. I get 19 miles per gallon with speeds up to 70 m.p.h.” — From a Brookville, Pa., Insurance Executive. “Everybody knows the Kaiser is economical. No matter what speed you travel it still does 24 miles per gallon on the highways.”—From a Winnipeg, Man., Funeral Director. “On a recent 2,780-mile trip through Canada I averaged 26.6 miles to the gallon. I have •owned and operated many different makes of cars but never until I bought my Frazer have I owned a car that was so economical.” —From a Cranston, R. 1., Physician.
