. Il|lw , ' ■' .u rr Infection Os Outer Ear Canal

INFLA MATION of pie outer car ran be both painful and dangerpugsince it always carries with it the risk that the infection may jp read to the deeper issues,. Fdr these' reasons it should be triateU promptly and by ah . yert. ( '; .■ , f Thfse Infectionsm a y be brought about by staphylococci germs by 'an brganism known as psudomonas aeruginosa and by certain molds and> yeti sts. Molds alone \or together with germs account i for. less than hajf tbe.tOtal number ot eases. As a ,result of the injection, the top level of skin is shed or cast , off. Thia dead tissue collects in' the, ear canal and forint a mass of ptitty-like mate Hal which blocks the. ear canal and obstructs the hearing. It also produces a feeling of fuHness in the ear. If tne car is picked, the tissues may be injured and, the injection gets ihto the deeper lay ens. I Thelfirst step.in the treatment yf the* disorder is to eliminate pain apd irritation. It is suggested, that the patient may be benefited ly X-ray treatments given at intervals of from three to five days. The pktlent la also given a seda tive or quieting drug. The ? next step is to clean the < anal pt all dead tissue and wak. If the ( ear canal is badly swolen and 'sensitive, the\ cleaning proc es must be delayed unttt'-the sen-' . .. I. • - ■ ‘ } ■ j 1 i

111 ■' ;ff.r" r' \ I therefore, if they fought, they* I ought to make a real Second front. The question is \ how success- V fully they might fight. They had plenty of chance to fight when Chiang had all the resources of the government, yet was being driven off the malnlaind into Formosa. Then Chiang's men desert- - ed in droves. His armies deemed simply to fade away when battle came. Now the army Is safe in For mosa, whereJt does not at present have to fight. So long as this condition remains, it will doubtless continue \to number 80(1,00(1. If. however, the troops were shipped across the straits to fight in China proper, would there be a different story? ; ; -' Something might be said also of the of giving arms, that might go to our men, to an army that did no: Use such arms when it had them. In any’ case, \the burden of proof is ,on those who regard Kai-shek’s army as -a valuable asset to United Nations forces. • ' ' \ A Suggestion:— ? The Chamber ct Commerce, always desiridus of serving the coiymunity, has akked for suggestions on "One project or improve-' ment that can be completed in Decatur this year.” * You have something in mind that would ' benefit the people.

M.: I have an irregular heart beat. ' I am also bothered Inth shortness of breath. What would jou suggest?

Therefore, you should have a thorough study made by yotir doctor, including ,an X-ray of the heart and an electrocardiogram or electrical tracing of the heart. In this way| it can be determined whether or 'not any heart damage has o&rnred.

Jennet, combine to complicate Quint Darby’s Ufa aa no pioneers on the Niagara border, acroaa from Canada. The loss of ms arm la another handicap. He dreams of bonding merchant, ships. Re fears for Jennet’s safety nere, IS greatly alarmed when she openly and ardently admires a handsome half-breed Indian, named Peter Brant. CHAPTER \ EIGHT QUINT had long since recovered from his Utterness and rebellion over the loss of his arm, for he had proven to himself and others that he could live a man’s life, do a man’s work, with .the strong arm left to him. But now Rhoda’s stinging taunt brought it back to him in all its first measure of humiliation. If, in Rhoda’s eyes—in others* tod he might be what Rhoda had called him. | ( Instinctively he went to the river’s edge. Below him the water flowed dark and silent, except for little slapping noises where it eddied against the big Rock; back of him was the dark and silence of the settlement. The Rock made a hollow and he stood in it, terribly solitary. Far down the shore, a moving prick of light appeared. Dan Piers, perhaps, making a round of his yard. Where lay the hull of his brig .. . He drew his shoulders up; threw back h|s head. There was his 'life! That ship and others—what more needed a man to satisfy himself ? Tomorrow he’d go down there. He had neglected his purpose these last two days. \ Let Rhoda go—give her money with which to go. But, where could she go, be thought at once. As. he had of Becky. Like Becky she had no kin. Her father and mother, journeying through Cherry Valley had been stricken with fever and died; it was after that that the Fairlies had taken her in bond. No, he could not tell her to go. A twig, snapping under a foot- ■ step, startled him. A slim figure came toward him. "Uncle Quint!' Jennet’s voice called softly. ' She wore , a dark cloak, a dark hood over her head. “Jennet! You must not come out alone like this in the night Tell me you will never do it again!” She threw back her hood with a little laugh.' “But I saw you from my window. Uncle Quint I was kneeling there, longing to go out into the night... It’s a habit of mine; tell me honestly, out in the night like this, don’Vyou think of things that are too big to think, of in daytime?" She moved close to him, tucked one hand under the stump of his maimed arm. Quint could not speak at once for the flood of warmth that ran through him from her touch. "It is true,” he said, “a man can Vision his dteams better in the dark of the night.” “What are yours, Uncle Quint?” pressed Jennet, eagerly. “Please, tell me!” “Os the day when there’ll be bigger ships sailing up those Lake i

Some day there may be a canal built through this will convey bur cargoes straight through to New York City. With such commerce this country will prosper. Those first big ships will be mine!” "Oh," said Jennet on a high breath. "What a beautiful thing to think about! I love ships! Thank you for telling tne.” “The first shijp is almost completed. It should be in the water in another . month. Tomorrow, L’ll take you to Din Piers’ yard ’to see it.” i 5 i “Oh, will you f j Uncle Quint, may I sponsor it?” ! Quint said, a little thickly, “You shall sponsor ;my ship, Jennet. And now you must go in and to bed. ’ As they came to the tavern he said, “Your promise that yoti will not go out into the night, alone—you have not gtycn it to me!” “I don't make promises. Uncle Quint. As 'Soon as I made one, I’d be certain to break it. Good night,” she said! He had no wish to go to Rhoda. He found a blanket and settled his long length on the bunk over Toby’s in the taproom. Jennet came into the kitchen next morning With her arms fill! of the material she had said she would give to Rhoda. She dropped it on one end' of the thbje. “Hdre it is, Aunt Rhoca.” It was bf:\a rich wine color. Rhoda caught- a, t it. “I’ve never had anything as beautiful!” Quint at tible could not escape hearing the little greedy note an her voice. > Jennet said, “This- afternoon we’ll cut into it. And 1 found.a good length: of ribbon for trimming.” *. • Quint said, with abruptness, “Sit down at the table, Jennet. Sarah will give you food.” \ He had risen early with Toby, done considerable work in his office, to despatch it and have bis mind free fbr his enterprise. He said td Jennet, “I’ll saddle your - horse in about ah hour’s time.” He caugtt tl)e swift, eagijr glance. Jehnet gave him in answer, but he said nothing to explain their plants to Rhoda. Later he went to the stable, saddled the horses, his a sorry nag beside Jennet’s beautiful black gelding. Aa he led the horses to the block by thd kitchen door, he found Jennet in conversation with Becky in the drying yard. Seeing him, Becky* scurried to the kitchen door. “Why does Be:ky act so frightehed?” queried Jennet, as they rode off. “I asked herl her name and for a moment I thought she had no voice to tell ine. Then when she saw you she went pale and ran away. It would be pleasant if we cqhld be friends.” I

She has no kin .. “Then where can she go?” demanded Jennet. “I’ve arranged for her to go to a good woman who lives near by. ' But she is frightened about that— ; 1 she'? been led to believe that this Mistress Sabrina. Meacham practices witchcraft.” “Witchcraft! Oh, wonderful! Tell me about her,* begged Jennet She was diverted from her concern over Becky.' Quint told her at ■ length of Sabrina Meacham. ‘ They had'reached the end of the 1 lane j edme out on the narrow bea .-i ihat edged the river. They slowed their horses to a walk. When, he finished.

And I'm an old man. ...” Quint gripped his hand. “Restlessness in the young is a growing pain, Dan. As to you—you've many a good year to live.” • • • Back at the tavern Quint left Jennet to her own pursuit and went to his office to copy out the order to go to the chandlery. As he sat at his table he was surprised to hear voices in the shedroom, adjoining. The man of the Gospel—and Rhoda. For a moment he listened, though he could distinguish no word. Rhoda was tidying the man’s room, perhaps—though why was it hot Becky or old Sarah doing that? Then there was silence and he went on with his work. When he went in to the noonday meal, he saw an extra plate laid at the table. “Who’s come ?” Rhoda answered without looking at him. “It’s for the man in the shedroom.” ’ i Frequently one or the other of them invited a lodger to sit at' table with them. Quint made no comment And Rhoda added, “He’s a gentleman and has no liking to eat in taprooms." Her scorn was lost oh Quint for at that moment Jennet came into the room followed by Becky, Becky’s face flushed with pleasure, and a string of blue beads around her neck. And Quint thought smiling, “Jennet’s lost no time in winning that friendship.” Rhoda saw the beads, and said sharply, ’Take those off—it isn’t fitting a servant girl deck herself out in finery!" Jennet begged, quickly, “Oh, please. Aunt Rhoda, let her wear them for a little while! It isn’t really finery—the string was In a box of trinkets a Chip’s* master gave to my father to give me. And Becky likes them so much!” “Well, through the meal,” conceded Rhoda, in a more controlled tone. “And get to your serving, Becky.” They had begun their meal when William Pettlpiece came in. He wore, now, a black cloth suit, greenish with age at shoulders ahd jlbows, but well-fashioned and clean and pressed. Just inside the door he paused to I sow with elaborate courtesy. “I hope my intrusion into your circle is disagreeable to ho one.” Qfiint was surprised again at the 1 splished inflections in his voice, I somehow so contrary to his appearance. He gave the old man 1 srief welcome, presented him to 1 lennet, bade him sit down. Becky I cut a plate heaped with food be- < 'ore him. He spake a blessing over i t and fell to eating, hungrily. j Jennet was regarding him with a
