Tuberculosis Os The Bone A Rare Disease

By Herman N. Bundeten, M.O. THE fight to keep mllk from tubercular herd* out of our pub lie milk supply was lona and hard but It has paid off in a tremendous decrease In the number of cases of tuberculosis of the bone. Thirty yearn ago. thia wan a relatively frequi- it disorder, today it is relatively rare. Nevertheless. it (.till occurs in some localities, and when it does, although it should not. It must receive the best possible attention If health Is to be preserved and deformity prevented. Whether or not tuberculosis of the bone should be treated by Margery depends on the age of the patient, the location of the infection. and its extent. For example, tuberculosis of the bone in a young child may heal of itself with long rest and iinmobliution of the affected part. On the other hand. In older children and in adults who mast carry on their daily work, an operation te fix the affected joint may be necessary. For the first four to six months after onset of bone and joint tuberculosis. the disease may gradually become worse while the body is building np its defenses During this time, plenty of good nutritious food, plenty of sunlight, and bed rest are necessary parts of the treatment. The new drug known as diasone has been reported as helpful in speeding up healing in eight out ot tea cases If the joint is painful, stretching may be necessary to separate the Joint surfaces and limit the extent of the infection. If only the lining membrane of the joint u in*ohc4. two or three

country will not be raised as long as he is president. Within the last few days, stock market opera tors, known as Bears speculated in gold, on an unfounded hunch that the government was going to change the monetary price. Mr Trumans plain statement trimmed the sails of the speculators. Thomas L. Stokes, the columnist. in commenting about General Motors' record business year, remarks: "Somehow or other the record of this giant corporation makes a bit silly all the frothing at the mouth about the "welfare state” and the "threat to liberty from New Dealism and Fair Dealism of which there was so much in congress and the New York (lection campaign" The truth Is, opportunities for business seem greater today than those which existed 20 years ago. The death of Mrs Ada Martin brings sadness to the city. A woman of phasing personality, jovial and friendly with all who engagt d in conversation with her. Mrs. Martin had friends galore Honored three times with election to city office and the first Decatur woman to have served as treasurer of the city, Mrs. Martin dispatched her official duties in an efficient manner. For this, credit is due her. but above that she excelled as a mother. Never did she lose interest in her home and children, to whom she was a devoted and cherished Mom. o o A reader of this newspaper takes exception to cut-lines printed below a picture of Vic<-presi-de nt Alben Barkley. Mr« Elizabeth Jane Hadley and the latter's daughter, Miss Jane, following the couple's announcement of th* ir approaching marriage. Matted with the picture, the objectionable lines read "Mrs. Elizabeth Jane Hadley, vivacious Texas divorcee.” Mrs. Hadley is not a divorcee. She Is the widow of Carleton Hadley, a St. Ixrnis doctor, whose death occured in 1945. The picture was furnished by Central Press Association, a unit of King Features, Inc., and the mistake was not caught as it passed over the desk in our office. The boner was pulled in the feature syndicate's composing room and no doubt the erroneous cit lines were carried with the picture in other newspapers. We llia'iTk th' r< ader for calling this flagrant mistake to our attention, and the uncomplimentary inference about Mrs. Hadley is regretted. The feature syndicate will be notified of Its error.

years of care may result in good i action of the joint, but the patient should be kept uuder observation 1. for at least three years after the -' infection has apparently been ar- ' rested. If tuberculosis of the spine oc- - curs, an operation is done in al- , most every case to prevent severe deformity and spread of the infection. I j This is the most frequent fonn of ' I one tuberculosis in children under ' five years of sge. If the infection '' subsides, an operation can be done after the age of four years, although the patient will withstand 1 it Itetter if it can lie postponed to > a later age. ' Os course, any infection of the bone with tuberculosis should lie treated by a specialist in such disorders. QUESTIONS ANO ANSWERS i A.8.: 1 have been anemic since , my last operation, which was for i adhesions. What can I do? Answer: The treatment of anemi ta depends on the type that Is present. and of course should be carried out by the doctor. in pernicious anemia, the treat- [ ment consists in the use of liver, kidneys, lungs, plenty of fresh vegetables and frnits in the diet, along with cod-liven oil. in the treatment of secondary anemia, first of all the cause should be found and removed. The cause is usually due to such things as chronic infections, or bleeding i' from some source. Secondly, the diet should contain foods which are rich in iron. Thirdly, some pre- . pa ration containing Iron and copper is given by the pbjaician.

So, even when he started out cussing me and the girl who had given me "bis" money. I bent away over backwards to say, W«•':!. M_ !, il’-.’b''’ '- " it’ur-ibta.'2-au.u..

I'm quoting Merle Hawleyi" is that II Is so excited by its own supposed cleverness that it fail i to give cops credit for being smart er. You thought you had all you needed above your 'nec k. You don't have enough braina to get away v.ilh crookedness, but you do have enough to clo decent work." Mike said nothing, and 1 left so Ise could think it over. If he's quiet the next time I talk with him, then I'll take Merle along to say the exactly right thing. I asked liorothy Hardin Friday morning if we still had tt date for -a'.T.T”lti~Tc'HM“iM»n "game, and she said. "I don't know; you never said anything more about it." I told her why last night, just enough of the story of Mike to let her know I was ashamed and afraid she would not go out with the brother of a jailhird. That did not bother her. But Ihlngs in order! The football game first Uiftland Central has the t< ugliest leaat we have run into, plenty of bi-- tough boys, tlf course. Celt tral has several times our student body. The Lions do not use our shift or rythym. but they knew how to stop our clock. The leftland paper says they made eight , ;irst downs by rushing and three by passing to our total of four: so our scores are luck. Henningsen took the opening kick-off. tlipjied it to me on a lateral. and I managed to bang around to pay dirt. For the point after, I was flat on my back after a faked I plunge over the goal line, when a , defender slapped the pass into my arms; and it counted up to 7-R. Then the Lions received, and , got into our territory on a clever play that fooled ine completely. Ogden, their blond fullback, was on | the ail state team last year, and I i could see why. He almost got away when I shoved him out of bounds insld" our twenty. Next play, he had a short pass actually in his , hands when I jerked the ball out t.ntf stopped their drive. There was a little argument as to whether the whistle had blogn in time to nullify my steal, but we won We 1 had to punt short ot a first down. ' and they did. too. It was that good a defensive'’ battle for most of the I first half I guess my knee trouble ' started near half-time when I had almost gotten away and Ogden ' niiaxhed hard from my left. Their I tackling was hard and sure thruout the game. > • On their firs) ae rhnutage play of ’ the second half they tried again to i get a short pass to Ogden across , our line.

O — i Modern Etiquette By ROBERTA LEE 6 — o Q How does one give a cocktail party? A. Invitations to these affairs are very informal, usually in person or by telephone. The usual I hours are from five to seven p.m . or sometimes later to suit a special occasion. Cocktails and appetizers are served A thoughtful hostess will also provide fruit juice for those who prefer It Refreshments and conversation provide the enter-1 tainment. Q. Should one ever select a wedding gift that is something only , the can use. if one is not acquainted with the bridegroom? , A. No; always select something that can be used and enjoyed by both the bride and bridegroom. Q Should the man or the woman make the move to stop for conversation when they meet each other on the street? A. It is up to the man to do this. One Minor Accident Is Reported Here One minor accident was reported to the sheriff's office when the car driven by James Spiller, of Fort Wayne, was sideswiped by another . <-ar on U.

Frankie Rehinus came back to work with Hutch in plugging the line where Dgden broke through in a steady, time wasting march. Blondy was tiring when early in the fourth quarter l.oftland had worked into scoring position. A Ixdtland pass was indicated. and .Murphy, at safety position, was ready for it. Murph intercepted, flipped to Henningsen. who roared all the way back to mld Held where he was shoved i almost onto my lap.
