Motorists will appreciate the improvement, for stretches in the road system are in terrible shape, and in some places are unsafe for traffic. The work should be pushed during the coining months.

Troublesome Foot Infect ion

By Herman N. B unclesen, M. D WITH the coming <rf warm weather it always seems an if ringworm Infections of the feet liecome more common. It is true that people tend to pick up this disease during the summer, especially if they frequent infected swimming pools and beaches hut. at the same time, many an old case, which seemed to disappear during the winter, flares up anew at the first hint of hot weather. This is the time when it is likely to become severe so that, instead of merely cracking and scaling the akin, it causes the formation of blisters which burst and leave raw akin surfaces Many forms of treatment for ringworm of the feet have been employed. During the war. olnt ■tents containing a substance known aa undecylenic arid were widaly employed for various fan gus disorders of the skin. Dr Emanuel Muskatblit tried out a preparation of this type on 44 patients, twenty-eight of whom had ringworm of the feet, one of the hands, and four of the nails The remainder had fungus infections of a different type. Os 32 patients who had ringworm info* tions of various parts at the body 23 were cured tn ftn. the treatment was a fatter*. wMte tn the etMr ft**

Gillie feels that way about agri cultural prospects, for the Democrats laid the foundation for farm • prosperity several years ago . o o , A woman columnist writes that , bursting of a water main along Mnriison Avenue in New York City. - caused more property damage in the flooded area than the tornado ' did to Kansas and Oklahoma Basement* and stores were soaked ♦ and traffic was delayed. However. • most residents would rather take their chance with a broken fire hydrant than in the path of a twister. i o o A trip through any agricultural belt in the United States will show that the use of farm machinery is increasing by leaps and bounds That isn't strange because everything is being stepped up by all American industries, in the case of the farmers they are catching up rapidly. Two or three men on a farm tractor can do the work of several men with their horses. It begin* to look as though farming is heading towards mass production. —— o o The Fort Wayne Philharmonic Orchestra will have to obtain a new director, since Haus Schwieger. who met with great success in directing the orchestra, ha* resigned Mr. Schwieger and Rich ard H Wangerin, his business manager have accepted similar positions with the Kansas City Philharmonic. Music lovers appreciated Schwieger'* versitile ability as a director and enjoyed his famous programs. —■-o o {Foreign Service: I One of last, fall's public opinion H polls revealed that 52 percent of American people had n<-ver . heard of the Foreign Service, or. having heard, knew nothing of its J composition or its purpose. The State Department has Instituted a campaign to Inform them. College officials had for some time been asking for speakers in this field, so letters were sent to the presidents of 170 colleges and universities to determine their ! willingness to co-operate. Enthusiastic response led to the carrying I out of a comprehensive plan to in- ! form youth of the aims and purposes of the United States Foreign Service. American diplomats have visited over 150 seats of learning , in widely separated part* of the country during the past few months, with fruitful results. The Foreign Service consists ot I a relatively small group of men. wijh little turnover perhaps 76 in a year. But the dissemination of accurate knowledge about this Important branch of the government I service may lead to a better un- ' derstanding of the work of the State Department a* a whole, and of our much-discussed foreign policy.

. the results were doubtful. The i cure required from eleven days to three and one-half months. i This ointment causes no Irritation of the skin, even in those with i blisters and raw surfaces. It would f seem that this method of treatment : Is quite satisfactory in most cades. > However, whenever a severe ringi worm infection is present, the phy- ■ islctan should be consulted concernt Ing the best treatment to be employed. r I‘nfortunateiy. efforts at home I treatment often result in further i irritation of the akin, thus making f the disorder worse. In extreme ■ cases, it may be necessary to use wet applications or to soak the feet r in some antiseptic solution until i the severe inflammation is cleared up. Thon more active prepsra- > tion to eliminate the ringworm I may be employed. QUESTIONS ANO ANSWERS j: B.: Is there any cure for evrenalve saliva?

Later she helped Tracy dress. “1 haven’t been out for So long," Tracy said as Kit walked beside her down the steps, "that I'll probably say the wrong things to Sara's guests. Maybe I’ll giggle and blush. It's been said over and over and you've hiard It a thousand times. Kit, but It always bears repeating, that you don't appreciate things until they are taken from you.
