New Way To Treat Stiff Neck

By Herman N. Bundesen, M. 0. STIFF neck is one of the most* common of the disorders affecting the muscles. It usually results from exposure to cold or a chilling wind and cat sometimes be quite pain ful. Recently a treatment for this condition has bun ruggested which seems to give prompt relief hy re- i taxing the stiff and painful muscles. It makes use of a well known j local anesthetic called ethyl chlo, ride (or fretting solution t spray. In cartyltig out the treatment the ethyl chloride spray is applied with a sweeping motion to prevent extreme chilling of the muscle Before cany Ing out the treatment., the muscles are felt to find just which areas are tender. Then the patient h seated in a chair, and With the ethyl chiodire held one or two feet away, the stream Is di reeled to the skin at an angle. The direction of the sweeping notion depends upon the areas involved. For example, if the large muscle known as the trapetlus b. affected, the spray ia directed inward and upward over the shoulder •nd Beck If the muscles over the upper part of the back are involved the motion Is outward and down ward. The motion* are repeated evenly . in the same direction for a few ; ascoad* then stopped and restated for a ft* .tebad*. j 1

or just a little under one fourth ct the entire federal budget. Unless cuts are made In the military establishment, there is small chance of reducing the number or payroll expenditures in the next fiscal year which begins next July. 0 o Indiana seems to lead the na tion in working up the biggest turtle stories, or at least claims of catching the largest reptiles in our lakes. A Blue Lake fisherman beat Parmer Harris of Fulk's lake by claiming that he caught s 100 pound turtle in a net. So far. Harris has not produced mon eter from hi* lake and the argu men: goes on, the public wonder Ing if it is being taken for a turtle ride. 0 0 The winter term of the Repprrt School of Auctioneering will open November 28. continuing for three week*. Classes will be held at the school's assembly room In Belmont park and the public auction sales will be staged in an uptown buildinc. It U expected that students will come from | across the country and represents tive <>f nearly state in the union Decatur will be glad to welcome I the students and staff members of ' this famous sales training school. o o The political talk in California is between factions for and against Governor Warren making th*- race again on the Republican ticket. Th* western governor is one of the ablest and most progressive of the GOP. If he is defeated for renomination, it's a certainty that a Democrat will be elected. One of the men who aspires to be governor of California is Jimmy Roosevelt, but he has a number of political enemies who might block his nomination Young Roosevelt made a bad guess on Truman and doesn't stack up with the rank and file of the party. o o Few people would want to settle in any community that did not support schools and churches. Every good town must have these basic Institutions for advancement and spiritual endeavor. Then civic improvements follow. Growing cities reach the point where they must expand recreational and civic facilities for youth and adult. A city grows with its people and life therein is no better than citixeniy demands. The op portunity to acquire a useful and needed civic center is being offered to Decatur in the campaign to raise up to 1175,00* to qualify for a gift of *IOO,OOO from a local industry toward construction of this unusual project The decision rests with the people, but one way to put Decatur a step-ahead is to meet the challenge and help build the Community Center.

but Ing the treatment, the pain ful muscles are gently stretched by light pressure against the head Between applications, the putlent moves his head and neck actively, but no movement should be carried out which causes distress. The treatment is continued until the pain and tenderness disappear. However, if the response to treat nient i« slow, it should not be cari tied on for longer than 10 or 15 , minutes Twelve patients were treated In this way. and nine of them were lelievtd after one treatment. In other cases, two or three were necessary. It may be found that the treatment has to b* repeated once or twice a day for several days. If the condition Is chronic, that is. If it has continued over a long period of time, the ethyl chloride is not of any great help Here injections of a local anesthetic or paiivrelieving substance into the tender areas are more likely to be of help.

real matters. We planned to make the first show at 7:00. Since we did not get away from football practice until after <5:00 o'clock. I hurried so much that I had no time to atop for suppir, and was at Hardin's at 0:45 as arranged I was hungry all during th* show, as even the proximity of Dotty did not let my stomach forget. But an empty stomach seemed a small sacrifice as she and I sat with arms link'd on the theater scat nrm . After the picture, I told her 1 had to go to Mac's steak house, and she could have whatever she want<d while I ate Steak She told me that Mollie Rehnius could not leave the Hardin house until she got t back, as Dot's mother was at a card 1 party or something. I thought that considerate of my little blonde companion. But as we got mar the house, sh* told me to wait on the. porch while she dismissed Mrs. Rehnius. and then she would come let me in the door. Then we could raid the refrigerator. That part went well 1 wolfed down cold meat, nicely spiced Without saying anything. Dot took out of the ice hog a couple cold I beers, and poured one for each of| us. I made a weak protest that j even a beer might be cheating on football training rules; but surrendered. And even smoked for the first time in a month, but did not feel right about It. I did speak up only when she said, “Let's swipe some of Dad's whiskey; it's really smooth stuff " I said. "Dotty, maybe the people you know can drink whiskey and remain gentlemen, but I can't. My background is much cruder than yours; and also, I have been told that I'm a pathological drinker, which means that the stuff is extra dangerous to me." She put her hand* on her hips and looked at tne saucily: “Ego Igorvich. you started off like a caveman, but now you're the tamest tough guy I know. Ycu're just plain • low." The thiUenge had to be answered some way. I took her wrists, pinned t'jet.i behind her back, just to show her I can be a cavrmsn I held my face close, but just look ed at her, tiylng to show her I could kiss but would not. Really. I was afraid When she tiled to kick. I bent b*r backward until she could not. Then I said softly. "I'm not slow. Baby. It's just that I know how much of the devil is In me. and I know what 1 could do to you alone in thi« bouse. Since I followed you to church that Sunday night tn July.
