Treating Bronchial Asthma

The alm of the doctor will he to give every jioaaible aid in the way of relieving and preventing at tack a. Aathma occur* in periodic attaeka. during which the patient find* breathing extremely difficult. The wheeling and coughing which accompany the ahortnea* of breath are very trying, both to the patient and thoae who muat care for him Many cases of aathma are undoubtedly due to allergv thus It would seem lhat complete curea could be obtained by the discovery of the aubatance to which the pa tlent la sensitive Yet. experience abowa that even where thin search is successful and the patient to taken out of contact with the offending aubatance. Improvement la often no more than temporary. Since thia la true, it ia fortunate that a number of measures are available for relieving the attack* Where the seizure la mild. It may be treated successfully by having the patient breaths a fine vapor coetaining a mixture of adrenaline, papaverine and atropine.

The seventy-seventh lineal descendant of Confucius will enter Yale University graduate school . to study philosophy. He is 28-year-t old Kung Teh-chetjg. who traces his ancestry back to 550 B V- and to K'ung fu-tzef whose name has been corrupted by history to Confucius. It is interesting to find a descendant of the master sage of China studying in an American university. Uue might expect him. at his age. to be a teacher rather than a student. But perhaps he has discovered one truth that his honored ancestor well knew -before one can teach, one must learn a great deal. Winston Churchill believes the British should look forward to the time when Germans and Germany, probably in the form of their ancient states, will take tbeir places in the family of Europe, help rebuild what they had destroyed and help restore Europe to its proper place in the world. He said "There is one simple guide in times of difficulty and that is to do what is right and honorable. It Is not only the most proper thing to do but also in most cases the safest course to take.'' That is a splendid principle for man or for nation. It is the one just and

sound principle on which to make decisions. There are times when the honorable course is neither kind nor easy, but it still remains the best. o o Women's Styles: The tendency toward a sheeplike following of fashion trends projected by French designers is growing slighter, according to observers of the current New York fashion openings. A year ago, Paris sent over exaggerated examples of a complete change of styles. Copies of these modes offered for sale to American women remained hanging on the racks. Active, busy American women were unwilling to cope with the pulled-in waist-lines and excess yardage which characterized the French styles. Manufacturers were quick to see the light, and their modifications made more wearable garments. This year advance styles show further modifications toward simplicity, said to be dictated by American women This is a definite sign that American women are growing more sensible. There is no valid reason why a group of dressmakers in a European capital should impose their ideas on the women of this country. Styles should be based on the needs and wants of tbeir future wearers.

cases. the adrenaline is given by injection under the skin. A sufficiently large dose must be used, and It Is advised that It be divided up and given in different parts of the skin so that more rapid absorption will take place. In some instant line, given by injection Into a vein, relieves the attack when the adrenaline is not successful. The prevention of attacks is also Important. I'nder the direction of his physician, the patient can learn to <ut short an attack at the very beginning, thus avoiding a severe seizure. If he carries an inhaler with him. he Is always prepared to breathe in an attack routing drug mixture at the slightest sign of a wheeze. It may also be helpful to take ephedrine in advance if the patient knows about what time of the day an attack may be expected Breathing exercises to deflate the cheat and bring the abdominal muscles Into action are useful If properly employed. The exercises must he carried out slowly under the doctors direction. QUESTIONS ANO ANSWERS V. B • What is glandular fever?

Where are the others?** John, who had risen to pull out her chair for her. answered that his mother was putting a hot mustard plaster on a rebellious Gram and Henry was tn the living room. "Pardon me He's not. Tbe radio is going but no one is there Perhaps he saw me coming.** She gave a short laugh. “Certainly no one else did.** Reaching out her hand, ahe tinkled the small brass table belt “Starving, Annabel,” she said, as the girl appeared. "And tell Tom to pu*. my car away, please. It's at the front.” To John, “Judy to in bed, 1 hope?” “Yea." “Was it bad driving?” Anne asked. “Terrific.” John said, “I thought surely you'd stay in the city tonight” Helen flipped open her napkin without bothering to answer that it hadn't been sleeting when she left, and picked at the food Annabel now brought her. Anne's question had irritated her. It was smug. Indeed, it might even have held a measure of criticism. What were you doing out on a night like this? Why weren*t you here with your husband and child ? Yet who was Anne to criticize her? When you stopped to consider the matter, she had had a lot of brass to settle down here as she had before being married to Alec! Giving up her job, moving tn bag and baggage-— Helen’s eyes followed her as she rose and. with some ready excuse, left them together. She went in the direction of tbe kitchen, moving lightly, happily, and Helen's irritation irwrsased. John refilled hU pipe and Ut It Helen nibbled at a piece of steak, then abruptly put down her fork. “How tong do you imagine 1 can i keep up this paca. John?” i “Your job, you mean?” “No!

She pushed aside her piste and tried to speak calmly ' because the only possible way to > got anywhere with John was to > be reasonable. “1 wish you'd come 1 upstairs.

Washington. July 27—(UPt— Here is a summary of President Truman's major legislative requests to the extra session of congress, and the current status of bills dealing with them: Excess profit tax — Reimpose wartime tax “to provide a treasury surplus and provide a brake on inflation." Several independent bills have been offered to that effect, but the house ways and means committee has not acted on them.

Their bureau and chiffonier were in the large bathroom. He went now to stand by the fireplace. Helen walked up and down smoking a cigarette, a fine dark line between bar eyes. “I’m trying to be fair,” she said, at test "I believe I have been. But I think It's your turn.” "What do you mean, exactly?” She faced him. "Don't you realtee that for eight years X’ve lived your way? Eight years! It*s time for you to make some concessions, it seems to bm.'“ He drew on his pipe, his expression quiet Presently fas said, "Such as?” "Give me one good reason why you won't go to New York for the winter!” “1 can't afford IL That's one. And 1 couldn't leave even if I could finance IL That's another. You know both of thoae things as well as I do. Helen.” "1 don't know both of those things! Why can’t you leave? It's absurd for you to say that!” “There's no one competent to take my place.” “That to so ridiculous I eould scream. There are tour men Lira.

Fred Warther. brother of the carver, is in charge*of tbe show; Ernest putters around his shaletlike work house back in Dover while his younger brother lours the land. Ebony, ivory and mother of pearl are the main ingredients of the models, made from blueprints furnished by the Baldwin locomotive works. .Mr. Warther carves each part by hand with homemade knives. During the war he devoted all his efforts to turning out commando knives. Mr. Warther is said to have rejected a fortune as purchase price for the collection, offered by lead Ing railroad lines. Now the Warther exhibit, neatly packaged in a truck, goes from fair to fair to show enthused audiences the evolution of the locomotive since the year 1680.
