Leg Ulcer on Elder Person

By Herman N. Bundesen, M. 0. Mom than one factor in responsible for the ulcer* or large sores which ho frequently develop on tne legs of middle-aged or elderly pete pie. Often, there are several Basically, all work in pretty much t.ie same way. By causing persis'cnt edema or a collection of fluid !n the tissues of the legs, they set th* stage for the development of an ulcer. Thus, swelling of the leg is a danger signal If rhe edema can be reduced and the swelling checked, the formation of ulcers can be prevent «d in most cases Conditions which promote the development of ulcers Include ths formation of a blood clot. together with inflammation of the vein, varicose or dilated veins, overweight, injuries, or Infections of either a local or general nature. I .eg tilers most often develop in the area around the ankle because the tissues bare have less vitality than those in other parts of the leg Cats and braises heal more slowly and swelling remains for a longer period of time In overweight per Mtns who have an Injury or infer, tion.

She Communist party Is In keep Ing with this principle. Communism is religion's greatest enemy and regardless of creed, spiritual and religious leaders have con d« tuned the anti God teachings of the Russians. In religion we must be united and affirm our faith in the teachings of Jesus Christ and recognise God as the King of kings. 0 Q, An unusual approach to the problem of graft and corruption In politics is outlined by Manuel Gallego, former secretary of public instruction in the Philippines. After making a study of the causes of official irregularities, Gallego concludes that a desire for ease and luxury Is at their root. He advises young men to avoid public office, as by so doing they will bring corrupt otD ials to a realixation of the evil of their ways. The Philippine emissary is doubtless right in naming the reason for corrup tlon. but his Idea for its cure is strange. The way to clean up any corrupt political situation Is to "overcome evil with good " o o Play Ball: Decatur is host this week to two outstanding diamond events, stellar attraction* in the field of America's greatest sport . , . baseball. Beginning Saturday afternoon at one o'clock at Worthman Field the opener of the Indiana State Championship series will be played between teams in the National Baseball Congress.

CHAPTER SIXTEEN KATHERINE'S visit to the Halls had been made as natural and pleasant as possible. She and Charles trotted off to school together, played together in the at* temoons, had their supper upstairs and then, in snug dressing gowns, met in Fanny's bedroom tor a halt hour of reading. When Katherine first went to bed, in one of the third floor guest rooms, a night light was left burning until the ujrtitafrs maid crawled into a couch at the foot of her bed to ease any loneliness or strangeness that might engulf her. Katherine waked regularly each night to near the rippling snore of her protector whom it would have taken a four-alarm fire to rouse. She was fascinated by the whistle that followed each snort and found the accompaniment very comforting when the first still light of dawn made the room big with humping shadows Shs had accepted the sudden move from Commonwealth Avenue as part of the new strangeness of the last week. She was not exactly afraid tn this room, she assured herself as she undressed after supper. The lamp was bright over the turned-down bed —but she walked a little stiffly from bed to chair to dresser, un-•.'tiling to relax her vigilance over toe four shadowy corners. Charles was only one room away. She was sitting or, the bed in ner bloomers and ferrts waist, undoing the stubborn garters when a knock at the door made her jump. She ran to the door and pulled it open very much surprised to fin 1 her father with Aunt Fanny, and n it Charles Fanny stood aside ard Marvell cried out, "Hullo, Kit! I’ve come bark as fast as I could.• She had not expected him at all. but she accepted his return as another fanciful twist of the past week. She smiled up at him in respor s, whereupon be lifted her up and strode across the room to the bed. She bad no dignified position to maintain before Aunt Fanny, so she grinned broadly, balancing herself with her hand on his shoulder. Faany closed the door upon them. "Can I help?" he inquired, bending down to unfasten her shoes. She looked at his grayish hair glinting in the light and putting one hand upon tt was pleased to find it as soft as her own. When she was finally in her crocheted slippers and woolly bathrobe, Marvell lifted her onto his lap. She fitted easily against his shoulders and for the first time since she had been in the room relaxed luxuriously. "How's the play going. Kit r bo asked seriously. She wnggled a little, scuffing eno crocheted toe against the other and then said. *Tve learned my lines, but," and here her votes dropped, “but the teacher says 1 am Mt mean

Proctor, ashamec. of the little presents in their heaps of tissue by the others’ plates. This bad mads a strong impression upon her because disappointment was one of the few emotions she could share with the adult world. The irritation or anger or even tears of grown-ups wers mostly a mystery to her—they were concerned with subtler outrages than she could understand. But thia she recognized. He was as'vulnerable as she. He could have a hurt. too. The memory of it still hurt her. And something in her first response had been as empty as that little red box. Td better ten them tomorrow that I’m going away," she said decidedly. "They can choose someone else." He was about to speak, but she moved out of bis arms and sitting up straight, she added excitedly, "Won’t they be mad when J tell them that we are going to give a play—in the country!" • • • At the end of the evening, Just as Ben was suggesting they should all retire early, Marvell made a last appeal for reassurance. "Don’t you think I did the right thing? 1 want Kit to have excitement in everything she does—now I don’t want her to keep waiting all her life for something better—! want it perfect now! Do you see?" He turned to Fanny. "When 1 saw the first star come out all by itself, I though of Kit. Do you remember that line somewhere In the Bible 1 will give him the Morning Star'—l know just what that means!" "It’s a fine thing to do, Marvell," Fanny’s eyes were filled with compassion, "and 1 know Elizabeth would bless it and sven Proctor would concede..." "He’ll never get the chance to concede anything more. He conceded me Kit, damn his shriveled little souL" Fanny put out her hand. "Don’t hate him, Marvell, it will only hurt you." He smiled at her anxiety. "We shall have no cause to. Kit and L We shall love much." Ben put the screen in front of u»e fire, frowning as he thought—this loving much. It costs a good Proctor, Elizabeth. Elizabeth, Marvell; and what would be demanded now? He was not as eager aa Fanny to accept Marvells new state of grace.
