Plantar Warts Hard to Remove

By Herman N. Bundesen, MO. WARTS on the soles of the feet are known as plantar warts. They are unlike all other wart* In that they are always painful and. orcaMonally, disabling. They are also very difficult to eliminate permanently. Sometimes they seem to subside of themselves. only to recur later, and no matter what method ia used in their elimination, there is always a tendency for them to come hack Doctors recognlie a number of varieties of such warts, the most common of which is yellowish or grayish in color, with a soft. Mackdotted renter surrounded by hard * tissue. In other Instances a number of warts msy be present There is also a variety of warta known as infective'' warts, which are not especially painful and which usually appear suddenly In some cases there Is one large ordinary type wart, surrounded by several small, blisterlike warts. Second Toe The warts commonly appear on the parts of the sole which are subjected to pressure Tkis may be back of the second toe. back of the first toe. on the surface of ' the large toe, or on the heel lu remtn m<; tbc.c wart., every '

France has shifted more Premiers in the past three weeks than Lehay does players in a Notre Dame game 0 o Women jeill be admitted to the Harvard law school, for the first time in the hiatory of that great university Previously women were admitted to the Harvard medical school, but not to the Divinity school. And In years ahead, the country might witness the appointment of a woman to the Supreme Court, for there are many famous women jurists. o o - The CROP campaign for the needy and hungry of Europe was launched at Monroe last evening and the workers will carry on for the next two weeks, seeking donations of grain and cash to be sent overseas While the need may not be as heavy as a year ago, there are thousands of refugees over there who have no source of Income or an aere of land to raise food. Adams county farmers contributed so generously last year that a duplication of the effort will ring the bell again in a real Christian movement. Feeding the hungiy is a cardinal virtue of Christianity. o 0 Local dealers are rationing coal to consumers, hoping to stretch their limited supplies over the strike and distribution to those who are in the greatest need of fuel. It would appear that John L. Lewis is making a serious mistake in keeping the mines closed, for the industry is losing customers daily and the miners are missing their pay checks. The municipal plant has more than a three month's supply of coal and if the strike Isn't ended by then, all of America will be In darkness and old John L might as well take a sleeping powder. o—o Useful Scouts: Almost a hundred communities in halfdozen states now have Boy Scout troops organized un der what is known as the Stamford plan, by which a troop has a direct link with the local police department and has as a primary objective. In addition to regular scouting activities, the prevention of juvenile delinquency. Although two other similar scouting organizations preceded the one at Stamford, Connecticut, the plan I* named for the Stamford troop, which is credited with a remarkable reduction in juvenile trouble* in its territory. Youngster* who become involv-* ed in damaging or criminal mischief usually do so In a search tor exciting activity. The Stamford plan offers an exciting activity which leads away from mischief rather than toward It. It has the further great advantage of consciously aligning youngsters on the side of the police, while mischievousness so often tentls to align them against the police

effort must be made to prevent the development of scar tissue, because scars in the areas where the warts were located may be permanently painful. One of the most successful treatments is by X-ray. More sures are produced by this method with less inconvenience to the patient than with any other method. If an overdose of X-ray should occur, death of the tissues would take place, producing a great difficulty. The patient should not be treated with X-ray if he has received X-ray treatments previously unless the enact amount of X-ray he has received is known. If the wart should recur after X-ray treatment, it may be scraped out after the patient has been put to sleep with an anesthetic, or it may be burned out with the electriccautery. QUESTIONS ANO ANSWERS M.E A : What would cause my ankles to swell before and during my menstrual periods? Answer: The swelling is probably due to some local disturbance of the circulation. Massage and eaercise may be of some help. You should consult your physician concerning such drugs as may be used to improve your circulation.

He said that as pant of the explanation of why he does not, smoke. It is pretty deep, but 1 have ( been ehewing on it mentally. Merle Hawley is the smartest man 1 have ever met.

In Spanish. I sat back of her at an angle which let me look at her coldly. Hair, honey-color; eyes should be blue. but look llgnt brown. Forehead, nose, and chin in perfect proportion Lipa delicious looking! Hey, I was going to lie cold about this! Chassis, small, neat. She is the classy lass of the class and of the town, for my money. She Is too much for me. so I had better look at somethin else. If 1 was as smart as Hawley. I could atuilyze her mind and her heart.

I walking wore me out more than a day in the mines. I'm not enough ot a farmer to appreciate the livestock generally, but we did get some enjoyment out of the horses, especially the trotting races. We could ■ have had even more fun than vn did if Merle had only dated to un- , bend a little and pick up some female companionship — nice ones. Much as I enjoyed his company, there was something lacking. One good opportunity while watching 1 the trotters: two pretty school- ' teachers sat -to my right, and 1 got to identifying the horses for them. I iPHcned their nanus and where they taught Even introduced Merle to them. He spoke, then froie up again. I talked to him about squiring the ladies around after the racua. and know he wanted to as much as ■I; but he had seen many penpie from Madrid, and thought there were sotue sitting behind us who would know that it was a pickup. When it was too late, he admitted .to me that it would have added much interest to our day; but he just could not overcome his "inhibitions “ When we were driving heck to Madrid, he admitted that had I asked the girls, he would have agreed.

CHAPTER VI September 11 This evening s game was not | even interesting Four timet I jUM kept on going, and it seemed easy. The toys from Quito just seemed to quit when I came at them. Nobody hurl, for which I am glad. Through most of the first quarter, I did not touch the ball. Then came a fourth down with inches to go, near midfield. I argued against punting, and they t< Id tn.-. 'Then you’d better make it." So I added 53 yards to those inches the first time I carried the ball. I know I ought not to be bragging about it. It is just a matter of being developed physicsly enough to play college football. while mentally only of high school levo). XJuito had a big looking team, and last year lost to Madrid 7-41. Tonight It was 38-0 September 12 Started out in one job today, and ended up in another. There's a difference of ten dollars a week in • pay. I am janitor of our church, sharing the job with old Mrs. Sieberling, whose husband cannot handle the furnace work any more. The old man had a heart attack thia morning mopping floors, and , the doctor told him he must not 1 'do the work any more. Mrs. 8. will do little beside the dusting. * and for that she w get five dol-' iars. I am surprised they did not i give her seven fifty, and me ten; | ; but I get twelve dollars and fifty ' cents. Mr. Gerald Hardin, him- i self, as trusty, came into the R' and Q to tell me about it. He ' said. "You'll earn it when you have to keep that old furnace going. but ail you have |o do today la get the floors clean. Mrs. Sletorllng can tell you moat of what is needed. and she no doubt will. When Mr. Hawley goes away on church business, you will have to keep his fires, too." I worked all afternoon on classroom and hallways and stairs. Mtrle looked it over and told me that was the cleanest he bad ever seen it. He also whispered that when the old charwoman had gone. I might go ever the pews. Her salary was sugar-coated char ity. The trestle* of the chur< h bad long wanted better work done, but had not the heart to ask the I old c ouple to r-sign. Merle had talked to them about me (as I supposed) and Hardin had known of my work in the mine Ho long as I do the work all right, the job is mine And that should to for the school year, unless I go off on a binge or somethtay • • (lu Ba Cuniutuudj I
