But It Is almost impossible to overemphasize the past value of the corps, and the world knows the significance of the cry, "The Marines Are Here." No campaign, not even a mayoralty or national election, was ever conducted more earnestly or fervently by workers, than the present drive to raise funds for the proposed Youth Center and Community Building. Individuals are fired with enthusiasm for the project and if their spirit catches on universally throughout the city, the IlSo.otm needed to get an additional |7s.ih»« should be a* easy as eating pumpkin pie

Lipedema Puzzles the Doctor

By Herman N Bundesen, MO. IN most cases of edema of the legs, the cause is not far to seek. This condition, in which fluid collects in the tissue* to such an extent a* to cause swelling, regularly accompanies a good many wellknown disorder*, such as heart failure. kidney disease and rheumatoid arthritis There are instances though, in Which apparently healthy people develop marked swelling of the legs In these cases, even long and careful search fail* to reveal any reason why exceuelre amount* of fluid should collect in the tissue* of the leg* One of the most puxsllng of these condition* occur* only in women Known a* lipedema, it affect* the entire leg from the hip to the ankle. Though not unduly fat gen erally, such individual* hare unu« •ally, large amounts of fat in the buttock*, thigh*, and leg*, a co nd I tion which usually develop* during the teen*. It seem* likely that the cause of the edema lies in these gro*» depos its of fat in the times just under the skin.

At no time has a more vibrant civic spirit ever been demonstrated than by those who have given untold hours in seeking donations and pledgee for Decatur’s biggest civic venture. We express our admiration for these enthusiastic workers and wish them success in their all-out effort to give the youth of the city a supervised place for play and development. o 0— Shopping Time: Officially, the Christmas shopping season opens in Decatur stores tomorrow. The streets are decorated, the stores are aglow with beautiful gifts and seasonable merchandise. Saturday evening the Christmas lights will be turned on. These cheery lights enhance the beauty of the Yuletide. Decatur is ready for Santa's annual visit. It is the season of good will toward man and in that spirit we should live the greatest month in the year. Be happy and make others happy. And in the Christmas spirit, we wish to commend the workmen for the electric department for the splendid job they did in lightng and decorating the shopping district. o o It's O.K. The origin of ”O. K." has been found Henry L Mencken, a veteran student of the history of the American speech, has solved a mystery for which many unsatisfactory solutions have long been offered. The one with the most distinguished authority behind it was advanced by President Woodrow Wilson, who derived it from a Choctaw word, "okeh,” meaning "all right.” He even used to initial his presidential documents "Okeh. W. W.” Other explanations purported to trace the phrase back to Greek. Finnish, French. German. Danish, and badly spelled English. None of these is so. says Menchen <) K goes back only to I*4o when Manin Van Buren, "Old Kinderhook.” was a candidate for governor. An O K. club of his supporters made the phrase popular, and the Civil War revived it when lagging. Now it has spread not only over the United States, but over the world from Mexico to Malaya, and has become the best known term in the English language. It Mencken is right, thia origin of O. K la O.

It Is fortunate that this condition does not interfere with the general health or shorten the life spaa. The chief distress caused by this condition 1* the unattractive appearance of the leg*. The treatment of edema consists of effort* to reduce the weight, massage aad the wearing of elastic stockings It i* also helpful to sleep with the foot of the bed raised.
