Young and ambitious, Krug probably will < titer private business and devote his talents and energy to money making. He was not spectacular as the Interior secretary, but did go along on western irrigation ideas, but somewhere along the line got crossed and decided he wanted to quit. President Truman learned of his resignation through press reports and may appoint Assistant Secretary Chapman to the important post. Roughly one person in ten thousand takes his own life. That does not seem a very high rate, but even that smaji number of suicides is beyond understanding for most people The suicide as a rule leaves some note, or some clue in conversation, indicating that the choice of death was made after long and deep thought.

A Cyst That Might Become Infected

By Herman N. Bundesen. MO. THE term pilonidal cyst became familiar to many families during the war when the armed services found it necessary to aend many of their young men to hospitals for thia reason. These cysts, or fluid»containing aara. are located in the region at the lower end of the spine. Because they are lined with a akin-like tisane, the great majority of them also contain hair. Just why they develop is not known hut they are rarely noticed unless they become Infected Since such Infection is usually the result of injury or bruising, they are must frequently observed in active young people between the ages of is and 25. When such cyst to firet noticed because of the flare-up of an infection. the treatment consists of hot baths and hot. wet dressings The physicton may administer such drugs as are needed to relieve pain With this treatment, the infection eomea to a head and may be cut oi»en ami drained. The wound to then packedwith gauge and the hot baths are again started two or three times daily. Three times a week, the wound is repacked and dressed and heeling gradually occurs. It is not Mtmmm with this form <»f treatment to obtain a permanent cure, if only one cyst to present. In cases where there are several cysts with an opening to the outside. a diftercut form oi treatment.

election with a fiery speech, but failed to make a point with his challenge to the Democrats. Capehart dared President Truman, Governor SchHcker and others to debate British Socialism against our American form of government We don't see the connection and think it would be foolish for any American to debate the British form of government, especially when most Americans don't care what kind of government exists in England. Presldent Truman did a pretty good job of selling America on his idea of government and therein lies the issue. o o Workers enrolled in the Communitly Center drive say that a majority of the people want the proposed Center and likewise have an optimistic outlook on the success of the campaign. Many have contributed outright, or have piedged certain amounts over a tbre&year period, including this year. One person of limited income who wanted to give her mite, offered one dollar weekly to the fund These expressions convince the workers that Decatur is waiting for the improvement 1 designed to serve youth and adult as a civic meeting place and recreation center, around which community life will be lived o o Along with the general progress and growth of business in the city is tiie announcement of plans for remodeling the Citizens Telephone Company's building on West Monroe street. Quarters are being enlarged for the new switchboard and other equipment which will be installed as plans progress for switching over to the new dial system next year Already enjoying a big increase in the number of telephones in use In the city the Telephone Company management anticipates still further demands for Its services with the future growth in and around Decatur.

may be required. In these cases, the entire cyst and the tract leading from the cyst to the surface must lie removed. Following the operation, the wounds are packed and the hot I aths carried out. A period of from five to seven days in a hospital may be necessary. The treatment after this time is given about thrice a week, at which times the wound Is repacked and dressed While several weeks may lie necessary before complete healing occurs, the patient is not kept from his usual activities. If the cyst Is discovered before it becomes infected, an operation may be performed at once to eliminate it. While technically the operation isn't difficult, it does present certain problems in order that a recurrence may be avoided. To do this. It Is necessary to remove every portion of the sac lining during the operation. Following this type of operation, the wound to stitched up tightly. Penicillin is administered by injection into a muscle for 48 hours before the operation If the wound should show any signs of infection following operation, it is opened so that drainage may occur.

When Ogden had gone. I said to Brewer. "We're going to have to be careful not to believe all the pawra say about us.” But the tote among ua was 3-1 that Madrid would win every game on the schedule.

I noticed a moment when Dotty tried to turn me away from the door, and got a glimpse of Matt Bligh. Jr,, buying cigarettes. Next glimpse, he was going out the door. I said nothing, but wonder if he followed ' us. Tried to he a stoic about my knee, but could not conceal when it hurt, so wg sat and talked after a couple dances. 1 told her about Mike, but she did not say much. I remember asking, "What can you say to a guy who insists on mesa Ing up his life?” She came back with. "I guess he figure's he has a right to mesa up his own life if he wants to.” And I had the last word. "Nobody can mess up his own life without hurting everybody around him." Going back. I pushed the jalopy up to 70 M P.H. on a straight stretch, but did not try too much of that because one passenger is too precious. Let the other two out at the home of Madge, then to Hardin's. 1 put my arm on the back of the seat, but had no nerve to go farther. Boy. how 1 wanted to kiss her! I cannot see one flawin her beauty. 1 talked about going to college, and about my noticm that I’ll coach football for a while, then be a sports reporter for a newspaper We ha<k sung some coming back from Loftland, and she told me my voice was good in the lower register. and should be cultivated.

I have a theory, partly based on the first sermon I heard from Merle Hawley: If a fellow and girl start necking as soon as they go together, their romance may never get further than a physical interest. But if they* start oat appreciating other qualities sbout each other, then the physical *;de of their Hoc atUir can b<

Ba» ' my knee slowed me up enough that I hardly got turned back toward the outside of the fence when the shot gun blasted 1 was the only one who got it, and fortunately my face win turned or I might have lost my eyes. I think Itehmus kept his head licst, and I heard him yell to get the devil before he could fire again. They were on him before I went to the fracas. My wounds did not botn- < r me much as I remember picking up tin- <HB-.ttad.rtHto^tfc»Jicy*- to let him up and hold him.

'Cooks' Corner’ BY MARY R. SMITH Let's Talk Turkey The poor old turkey s days are numbered as Thanksgiving Day approaches. It's the preferred meat of the day. and few turkeys survive the occasion alive. Turkeys are sold live, dressed, or ready-to-cook. A dressed turkey has been bled and picked but not drawn; head and feet have not been removed Ready-to-cook birds are fully drawn, pin feathers have been removed, the bird has been, thoroughly cleaned inside and out.' and the cleaned giblets and neck are usually packed in the cavity. , The big objection to turkeys in the past was that they were too large for use by the average-sized family The modern turkey, so im proved over the years that it is almost a new bird, comes both smaller and larger than its ancestors. The turkey is tmatier and more tinder, plumper and more compact, and has a larger proportion of breast meat. It can be purchased by official grades which Indicate quallty—U. 8. Grade A and U. 8 Grade B. Roast turkey without dressing is like chop suey without rice. Oyster dressing, good old fashioned sage,' and chestnut are three of the most popular stuffings for turkey. Just remember to stuff the bird loosely. for stuffing swells as it cooks Sluffings can be prepared ahead of time, but refrigerate the bird and the stuffing separately. Oyster Dressing 4 quarts bread crumbs 2 pints oysters I’-s cups fat % cup chopped parsley 2 tablespoons chopped onion 1 teaspoon savory seasoning 1 teaspoon celery seed 1 tablespoon salt ’ I‘epper to taste Heat oysters gently in their own liquid a few minutes; drain Melt fat in a frying pan, add parsley and onion, and cook a few minutes. Add oysters, parsley and onion, and seasonings to biead crumbs. Mix lightly but thoroughly. Rcclple mains enough stuffing for 14 to 2<) pound bird. Next Weak: Using Turkey Leftovers.
