New Drug Will Help Children

By Htrmin N. Bundesen. M. D WHOOPING cough la by no mean* the innocent disorder many parents suppose it. It is an infinitely troublesome disease in older children, and a definite killer during the first year of life. For this reason, the whole medical world is watchins with interest the performance of a new drug which gives promise of being effective against the germs causing whooping cough Produced from bacteria known as bacillus aerospores, it is called. In view of its lineage, aerosporin As always, the first test of the new substance was made on aai mats. After experiment showed that it completely protected them against what would otherwise have been fatal doses of whooping cough infection, aerosporin was tried In the treatment of children with whooping cough Ten youngsters, between one month and two and one-half years of age were treated. Aesosportn woe given by injection into a mua cle every four hoars in mild cases and in twice the dose every three or four hours in severe cases. The treatment was continued for from three to five days Ail of the children showed defi nite improvement In the first 4* hours of treatment Vomiting, periods of coughing, and the frequency of coughing attacks were less. The patients tn whom treatment was begun within a wees after the onset of the typical vfcao? recovered without csv eemgUcatieiM irrespeetl e of th*

your life can be. when you receive that which only a church can give." If they discover that secret and yearn for solace, the broadcasts may make church goers out of the listeners. o o The local fire z<'nes embrace what is known as the "business district" and extend north and south between Marshall and Adams streets. Beyond those limits are residential districts. Fire insurance rates are fixed for the districts, the haxards in the merchan tile district being considered higher than In the residential area Consequently, Insurance rates on residential properties are less than those in a business or commercial district, if exposed to a hazard This is another reason why the city should protect its residential areas and save home owners from paying Increased insurance rates. 0 o

A state law fully respects the sanctity of the home and residential districts. The law implies that no commercial business shall "unreasonably impair and Interfere with the peace, comfort or enjoyment of life and property of the orcupants of the residences in such residential district, or any of them." A city must hold sacred the rights of home owners and restrict ing of commercial activities to the business district should be rigidly enforced There is nothing gain ed by zoning at a later date, if we permit all the mistakes to be made in advance of ordinance adoption. o o

This c ampaigning for the presi dency may he strenuous, but it has its rewards. lowa housewives pre pared dinner for President Tru man and his party when the chief exec utive spoke at the plowing demonstration Saturday, near Dex ter. Here's the menu: Fried chick en. mashed potatoes, buttered frest. corn, relishes, jelly and hot butter horn ndls. apple pie and coffee It was served under a big tent and the tables were decorated in attractive but typical country-style red and white checked table cloth, wit! matching napkins No doubt Mr Truman would like to board there the rest of his life.

o—~o Already the new soyoeans arc arriving at the Central Soya plant. Indiana's largest soybean process ing industry. Many acres are plant ed to soybeans in this county and combining of the crop will get un derway with favorable weather conditions. Purdue University esti mates that the crop will average about 20 bushels to the acre and on this basis, more than 28 million bushels will be produced. Decatur become* the soybean capital, as the towering silos in the north end of town are opened to receive the millions of bushels that will be de llvered here within the next 90 days.

i severity of the disease or the age of the patient. When treatment was begun later than a week after the onset ot the whooping attacks, the effects were less favorable. This difference may be due in part to the fart that after whooping cough has made the patient vulnerable, other germs usually find an easy entranee into the lungs Not only does this secondary attack widen the damaged area but. by giving ail invaders a batter chance to dig tn. makes it harder to dislodge them Thus. Io all those rases tn which treatment Is started several weeks after the onset. a combination of the aerosportn with one of the sulfonamide drugs may be more effective than the use of the serosporin alone. Before • definite statement can be made aa to the exart value ot aeroaporln. results of treatment on la larger group of pat tents must be 1 observed But It Is to he hoped that i In this new antibiotic substance i will be found a potent weapon against whooping < eug*. a disease ; which annually kills so many ■ young babies i QUESTIONS ANO ANSWERS i J. J. J. Will you please teU me something about head noisee? Answer: Buzzing and ringing in I the ears may be due to a number oi causes, such as anemia, kidney disease, arcnnmlatioa of wax in the ear. as well as an infection In the tube connecting tbs ear with the mouth It would be advisable to have a efc-stea! suds to determine the cause ot this conditio*.

CHAPTER SEVENTEEN SHEPHERD’S COURT, Mayfair, was a large block ot luxury service flats. Unharmed by the ravages of enemy action, they had nevertheless been unable to keep up quite their pre-war standard of ease. There was service still, although not very good service. Where there had been two uniformed porters there was now only one. The Restaurant still served meals, but except for breakfast, meals were not sent up to the apartment* The flat rented by Mrs. Gordon Cloade was on the third floor. It consisted of a sitting-room with a built-in cocktail bar. two bedrooms with built-in cupboards, and a superbly appointed bathroom, gleaming with tiles and chromium. In the sitting room David Hunter was striding up and down whilst Rosalecn sal oo a big squareended settee watching him. She looked pale and frightened. "Blackmail!** he muttered. "Blackmail! My God. am I the kind of man to Ist myself be black-

mailed?" She shook her head, bewildered, troubled. “If I knew," David was saying. If I only knew!" From Rosalee n there came • small miserable sob. He went on: "It’s this working in the dark —working blindfold ”He wheeled round suddenly. "You took those emeralds round to Bond Street to old Greatorex?" "Yes." "How much?" Roealeen's voice was stricken u she said: 'Tour thousand. Four thousand pounds. Hs said if I didn't sell inem they ought to be reinsured.’* **Yes— precious stones have doubted tn value. Oh well, we can raise the mcoey. But if we do. it's only the beginning It means being bled to death-bled, Rosaisen, bled white " “Oh let’s leave England—let’s get away—couldn’t we go to Ireland— Americe—somewhere ?" He turned and looked at her. "YoWrs not a fighter, are you, Roaaleenf Cut and run is your motto." She walled: "We’re wrong—«D this has kss* wrss<— very wtek"Dosrt turn pious on me just now!

"You’re not to worry," he said. "Leave it all to me—and do as I tell you. You can manage that, can’t you? Just do exactly aa I teU you." "I always do, David." He laughed. "Yes, you always do. We’ll snap out of this, never you fear. I’ll find away of scotching Mr. Enoch Arden." "Wasn’t there a poem, David—something about a msn coming back—" “Yea." He cut her short “That’s just what worries me. .. . But I'll get to the bottom of things, never you fear." She said: "It's Tuesday night you—take him the money?" He nodded. "Five thousand. Hl tell him I can't raise the rest all at once. But I must stop him going to the Gloedes. I think that was only a threat, but I can't be sure." He stopped, bis eyes became dreamy, far away. Behind them ■ hi. mind worked, considering and 1 rejecting possibUitie* Then he laughed. It was a gay

reckless laugh. There were men, now dead, who would have recognised IL . • . It was the laugh of a man going into action on a hazardous and dangerous enterprise. There was enjoyment In it and defiance. “I can trust you, Roaaleen," he said. ’Thank goodness I can trust you abaoiuteiyl" •Trust me ?" She raised her big inquiring eye* "To do wbat?" He smiled again. •To do exactly as you are told. That's the secret, Rosakea, of a successful operation." He laughed: "Operation Enoch Ards*.” Rowley opened the big mauve envelope with some surprise. Who on earth, be wondered, could be writing to him. using that kind of stationery—and how did they manage to get it, aayway. These fancy lines had surely gone'right out during the war. "Dear Mr. Row<ey," (he read) "I hope you won't think Fm taking • liberty in writing to you this way, but if you'U excuse me, I do think there are things going on that you oagAt to know about." He noted the emphasized words with a puzzled look. "Arising out of our conversation ; the other evening when you ( came tn asking about a certain , person.

Rowley edged up to the bar and asked for a Gulnnesa. b Beatrice beamed upon him. • "Glad to see you, Mr. Rowley." 1 "Evening, Beatric* Thanks for your note." f She gave him a quick glanee.

"I'll be with you in a minute, Mr. Rowley." He nodded—and drank hia pint meditatively whilst he watched Beatrice finish serving out. Hhs called over her shoulder and presently the girl Lily came in to relieve her. Fsatriee murmured, "If you'll cone with me, Mr. Rowley ?” Bhe led him along a passage and in through a door marked Private. Inside It was very small and overfurnished with plash armchairs, a blaring radio, a lot of china ornaments and a rather battered-look-ing pierrot doll thrown across the beck of a chair. Beatrice Lippincott turned off the radio and indicated a plush armchair. "I'm ever so glad you came up, Mr. Rowley, and I hope you didn't mind my writing to you—but I've been turning tt over in my mind all over the weekend—and as I said I really sett you ought to know what's going on."
