The world needs food, including the lit) mil linn in this country and when the Marshall plan functions, the demand will increase. We hope Di-| vine Providence sheds Ills blessings on the crops of the American farmer. o— —a — If the two leading political parties can't unite on a presidential candidate, why not consider General Lucius Clay, who is doing such a magnificent Job In Berlin The American commander seems to have more nerve than any of the, men over here. At least Stalin I is not pushing him around and he does not give an inch. This country needs a bolstering up and it may be a man like Clay for the job. Taft. Dewey, Stassen and Company play too much politics, which does not help the situation. O 0 Citizens interested in zoning and city planning arc invited to attend the meeting at the city hall Thursday evening when a representative of the State Economic Commission -will explain how'towns our size proceed with the problem. The Decatur Planning Commission hopes to draft the first outline of a regulatory ordinance governing zoning and building construction from information imparted by the state authority, who has assisted other communities in forming plans.

What To Do For A Cold

By Herman N. Bundesen, M. D. IN any poll, whether among the medical profession or the laity, the common cold would easily win first place aa the No. 1 nuisancemaker among dhwases It affects more people more often than any other ailment. It t» responsible for much more time lost from work as well as for inter-! fer<-nee with efficiency. Not dangerous Itself. It may. nevertheless. [ he the forerunner of more serious troubles, such as pneumonia. | sinus infection, bronchitis, and ear Infections The worst of it la that there is not much we can do about colds We have no sovereign- remedy either to prevent or to treat them Cold vaccines have been tried as • means of preventing colds and. like so many other likely pros poets, hate,.ns a rule finally proved themselves of little value The same thing is true of the massive doses ot vltttains. so popular for this porpoee • yea" *«° It would appear that today's be* het in <he trsmtment of a cold is root In bed and the giving of plenty of fluids, together with certain drugs to relieve discomfort. Recently, however, a promlug pew substance, known pa tn» thrtcis. which la valuable in preventing the growth of bacteria on the akin and mucous membranes baa been tried tn the treat mew* of colds It in still toe soon to be sure of its sttecttvsrass »«’ »* mUW Ml aspefut

Work on Decatur's golf course at the dost edge of the city will ‘proceed during tbe summer and fall months and it is hoped-that tbe .grounds will be e ready for play early next year. George Maclean, who is developing the 80 acre tract, is proceeding in the right direction pnd building the course along the lines recommended by a noted authority. There is much work and construction to be done this year, including grading, laying of drainage and water lines and building of tbe greens. When completed, local golfers will have as fine a place to play, as can be found any where in the state. Decatur is willing to wait a few more months until the course is properly completed. o o Walking from home to office the other noon, the writer noticed an automobile stop at tbe corner and on second glance saw that It was the car used, to train high school drivers We noticed how carefully tbe driver observed the safetv regu Jations. When he was in the act of stopping, he gave the required hand signal, looked both ways, and then proceeded to turn into Second street It was a good demonstration of bow to drive and Instructor Steve Everhart, who was along is to be complimented for having such apt. earnest and observant pupils. 0 o Atomic Research: Without debate and almost with- - out a dissenting vote. th«- Hou»e appropriated an extra 150 million dollars for atomic energy research The sum is small in relation to many of the other expenditures of government, but amounted to an increase of almost a fourth in the Atomic Energy Commission appro priation. The matter-of-fact way in which the extra money was voted is perhaps an indication of the temper of Congress with reI spect to America’s greatest mill ' tary secret Probably no other military expenditure offers such high possi bility of constructive return to the nation. Many phases of military study yield profitable results 1 for civilian life, in engineering, medicine, communication and other fields. But research in atomic energy now is the most mysterious and alluring of them all. For atomic energy offers more than the secret of a terrible weapon; it has also the possibility of opening up vast new reservoirs of natural power to turn the wheels of industry and commerce. The day of atomic power seems far away, but n<> further than steam, gasoline and electricity once were.

To get the proper solution, tyrothricln was mixed with one of the nose drop solutions which have the effest of shrinking the lining membrane of the nose. It is important to employ the proper strength of tyvothricln. If the solution is too wash, its anti septic action is not great enough. If it is too strong. It causes sting ins and watering of tn»> eyes and nose The solution was put into the nose every hour for the first few days, and every four or five hoars thereafter. The solution was kept tightly covered and in the refrigerator when not in use Three hundred and fifty persons, in whom head colds were developing. were treated with nose drops Two hundred and fifty of them used th# nose drops containing the trrothrlcin. One hundred were given nose drnps without the tyro thriein It was found that the tyro I thricia solution shortened the dur at ion of the colds as well aa pre--1 vented eomplkatioaa The same beneficial effects were not obtained la patients who did not get the ty rot h ricin Thia substance does not have any direct effect on the virus Which causes cnida, but it does awem to have value ip xrtUng rid of secondary Infect ions which compttcate colds It Is believed that thia snb»tan<-e to the molt success ful agent which has beea used up to tie preMbt lot colds It wewid seeah th** further study es this seetaM es treatment to edwßpie
