' r— — — ■ a. Treating Painful Bursit’s

a | NATURE has done everything (possible to render movement Qi the joints easy and frictioniess. One aid to -tins goal ,is found, in the many little fluid-filled sacs located around the jqints. Normrally they nerve the purpose of cushioning joint' movement but, ;• if inflamed, they become trouble makers, causing the painful conditioh'"known as bursitis. Bijrsitls most Z frequently if fedtsi the shoulder ajid knee joints. A common type' is that known as housemaid’s ’ knee In which thd inflammation is due to! the pressure exerted during- long periods of kneeling. - Bursitis may he an added feature of gout of arthritis. Infections of\various kinds may cause •pus to form tn a 'bursa, but the most common type is probably r due to the formation of an excessive amount of fluids in the burs.m * The’ first symptoms ‘of bursitis J-are p&in and limitation of movement. X-ray examination will ! usually show abnormal changes, cotisis|ing of deposits of linrerrsattrin the -bursa. In most cases there s Ifr also tenderness in the affected area. As a general rule, there is no disturbance in ’ the sensation <»f the arms or lens. nor is there any muscle weakness. Three methods of _Jtreatinent“ are ■in bursitis. Thfcse include X-ray irradiation, surgical removal, and injection of a anesthetic or pain-reliev-jitg substance into the ahected

creased population. Phrwiarily he would like to be returned to con* gress so he could challenge the young and fiery Senator Stnathers who gave him a sound spanking in the-1950 senatorial rui&off election Pepper has a personal following in Florida, but likewise strong enemies and his more than liberal ideas may not icatch on with the voters so early after his ■A i ■ retirement. >- ' h' •• 1 T 1 —O 0 . ■ i * H . ) Middlewest cities no doubt-are scurring with the announcement that thA General Electric Company is planning. to locate a large war productions plant near the center of-the United States. This gtographlc center is somewhere in the area of southern! Indiana and Kentucky, or for that matter the plant could be located any- * where in a half dozen midwest states. -'The company’s announcement also assured those cities where G.E. plants are located that ' A n f~ ' ■ - ■ present manufacturing facilities will not be. abandoned. GE. is a good neighbor in every {community where it operates and Cham\bers of Commerce in the larger cities will no doubt make every effort to' sell their towh to the company’s location committee. _ r. \ —ot-—O— ij .’ European Unity/ The Schuman plan for pooling the steel and: coal of France, Ger-* many and four othqr X nations, international control, is now up to the signhtory n: dons. If adopted, it should do much toward lessening the eco-\ nomic rivalries of Europe- \ Approval_of the Sehuman-for-'. mula is now leading to the next \ step, the format ion-of, a unified agricultural market, ,with sixteen countries as members, all the way front Ireland to Turkey. This is expected to increase, production r; and stabilize prices. Sd far the idea has got no further than invitations by France/to the other nations involved, to join in working out a plan. / ; Just a few years ago these steps toward the unification Os Europe .would 'have seemed impossible, or at least unattainable for many years. The present move testifies to a realistic appreciation of ti e necessity of scrapping the old , national rivalries if Europe is to sutvive. v

area. A course of four or five Xtay treatments seems extremely helpful. After each X-ray treatment the pain may become worse for a time. However' in most cases, within a few weeks after the last /treatment, the pain vanishes does not return. If the X-ray treatments do not produce relief, the' injections of local anesthetics should be triled. Should this treatment fail, rejnoval of the affected ’bursa may be required; - J QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS V Is prolapse of the rectum join moil in infants? What can b.p i|one to help this condition? Answer: This condition is not a common one. • ... \ Prolapse, of the rectum in a child frequently can be' cured by merely I j putting on a bandage which hplds the rectum in place, and.. I>y| building up the child's general. —condition. The 'bandage can be applied so that it holds the' buttocks' together, but at the - same-time does not obptruct the -passage from the bowels. ’ It, is also important that the child sitj on a small toilet seat L,and that his feet be supported \when he is. on the toilet. Const!-' nation should be prevented by " the use of the correct diet and mineral oil, if nencassary. , If the method suggested does not overcome the difficulty, an operation to correct hie condition inay be required.

CHAPTER THIRTY-EIGHT JENNET had -ome back into he taproom alter the British officers left. ‘Toby, will you netp Sarah and Becky tn the sheds?” 'he did no; speak until Toby nad ?one oiit ’ot the room. Then she said, “Uncle Quint, did you know t was my father Aunt Rhoda was visiting ?" , “No, No, 1 did not know.” He dropped down in >- tfhair at the table. "I i should have thought ot t! 1 shotild nave suspected Pettipiece wasn't here th\ frontier to preacn! 1 knew penad\ money out 1 figured he'd-hoarded it from better days. All that time 1 was feeding and housing a traitor!” His ganger at himself, now,' thickened his voice. “1 was stupid, stupid.” Or stubborn T It was a moment before he could go on. “He must nava told Rhoda, that day, that ne could get tier across from some ( place along the lower river—it was what she wantec to do— but to go to Alec..." He put a nand to his ; eyes'to lide from Jennet the depth ot his humiliation. She picked up a plate, stacked it with a little chatter bn the other. ■•She'll note it. Unde Quint.” She spoke with passion. “Maybe she is hating it, now. No one could live under the same root with my father and brother and not soon nate them. M.nd, when she comes nome, she’ll be as contented to be nere as 1 am.” , Quint shook his nead. “You’re a strange girl—to choose our way of living!" - ' "Not strange—l am like you!" • - ••. • ' The winter went ahead — with • snow and more snow and on somt days bitter winds from off the lake that whipped up the snow in blinding swirls. ' i , Jennet still continued to speak oi Rhoda, from time to time. But Quint tried not to think of her as. Alec’s. To do so meant the humiliation that was almost more than he dould bear. It was as if she bound him back again to those ties he nad severed. , \ So he kept his mind on. each day's work. As the weeks passed he was becoming more and more shut up in himself; his face set tn \ more stubborn tinea, if he’d been a man given to seif-searching he would have realized that, down deep in nim, ilka a seed ready to germinate, was an uncertainty that these conductions he held to were right. It had been brought in on him that he stbod alone in them. jßut he had stood alone in his convictions for almost the thirty-eight years pf his life. Little news came in and that was not cheering. General Smyth had been succeeded in the comt mand of the forces at Buffalo village by a .Colonel John Piper. After the fiasco of the attempted crossing from the yard, Smyth’s position had been a mockery. He’d been called a coward, to. his face, on the streets, more than once. His men openly ignored his orders. But Colonel Piper did little mors U- ;; ' ~ - . ■ I ' I

z. — r- — ~ One March day there was s.orhe cannonading directed from Fort Tompkins at Fort Erie, across the ri”er, out it did no more than make a loud rumbling and drag the British force out oi their warm quartern Ollie Kane, ‘nowever, made something ot it. “The enemy will realize that there is\ an indomitable spirit on “this side of the river that wall not be conquered.’’ The grumblings at the powers in Washington went on, whenever two or more men met. One njght, the taproom door opened and Andy Tobin slipped through it. dosed it quickly behind nim. and leaned, panting, against ilt. His clothes were ragged and caked with mud, his thin face with fatigue. - “Mr. Darby, can! bed here till daybreak?" \ Quint knew, without the boy's saying it, that ne was deserting. He answered without an instant's hesitation, P You’re welcome to, lad. BUt why not at your mother's?" Tears gathered in Andy’s eyes, his mouth' worked con. ulsiveiy. “I dassent- They’ll look there for me, mebbe. I doh’t want no trouble to come to Ma. I’ll keep to the woods, till I get well inland. I’ll steal for my food . . . Mebbefril die ot this fever that’s about—mebbe Cfiey’U catch me. but 1 don’t care—anyttiing’a be better than soldiering!** He spoke wildly, his breath came faster. “They sent us acrost once, Mr. Darby, about fifty oi us, landed us in the dark right under the British guns and told us to wait there till they brought more men over—they rowed off in the boats i and they never came back! 1 was the only one\got back! 1 threw i my gun away and swtim!" •’Fix some hot rum, Toby," directed Quint, his anger rough in : his voice. He took a blanket from : one ot the bunks and hung it over ■ a chair in front ot the fire. "Take ■ off those clothes, Andy. You can > roll up in this when it's, warmed ! through. Use the bunk in the • corner." ( “Mr. Darby, mebbe one Os the i sheds . . . They might come alookI in’ here!" ! ‘Til take care of that I doubt i they’ll come—there are too many i deserting like you. If they tried i to catch them all they’d have no i time to polish their buttons! We’ll > rouse you in time to get well into t th. woods before daybreak." » The night was Just yielding to i the first gray light of day When . Andy departed. Quint had packed • a package of food for him to t carry, given him some money. “Good luck, lad," he said as Andy t oponed the door. But he had small i faith tn the boy’s finding it, with - terror so deeply imbedded in him. - “You’ll not tell Ma?” begged r Andy, at the end. Quint promised. - The thaws came - early; .by April - the river was clear of ice. But it 3 wasn’t the springtime of promise s, such as it had been a year ago. u Gray, rainy days mostly, with the l fields too soggy to. put the blade u of a plough into them. Quint
