? ' ' —-T —-— — - . — _ _ ; Should a Wart Be Removed?

T'HOl'dil warts usually' cause ■j symptoms worthy of treatment, they can be bojh disflgur ihj| or disabling, depending upon where they occyr. While they apI peftr only blemishes on the fhee and hands, \they'are . definitely painful wheit they occur on the soles of the feet. For one or they. Other of these two reasons, people 'so affected have a commqh desire to get rid of them. Warts are small overgrowths of skirt tissues. They vary in color, and _§hape. They are slightly more' common in. women. It seem that warts can be pa|seil from one person to another by direct contact. Often they disappear without treat’rtnent of any kinch ' . c The most eoinmop type qf wart is as the verruca vulgaris. ( Thpse warts are raised, bard, grtfyjor yellowish swellings, vary ing in size from 1/1(? to Sfc finely. At first the surface is flat and snipoth. but becomes scaly or *crii£tpd. These warts, occur most often in children I and adolescents, and are found particularly on'the hands and fingers, but any part of the skin slirfa.ee txiay be affected. ' i. In getting rid warts, local destruction is 5 suggested as one: of the good 'forms iff treatment iused by many doctor*. This may be accomplished by using the electric needle. A local anesthetic' to relieve pain may have to >he; injected around the wart when is carried out. If the wart is large, actual cau-tei-y or hea't front a hot iron may be employed to biuu the surface. ■‘ 1 r

Trimming the beautify! maple trees on the court house lawn should help to preserve, these stately sentinels of God’s gift to man. The pruning of broken limbs and removal of blighted branches seems to be proceeding very systematically and in another month the trees should reflect v their natural beauty? ——o o - It is disappointing to learn that plans have not been made to repair U.S. highway 27 north of Decatur to the county line early .. this spring. The road is crumbling and the edges are chipped off, which Condition does not lend to safe driving. It is possible that the road will be repaired under A - "j ' ;jthe district's regular maintenance program and contact with the department should be .made to insure resurfacing of this important link in the state highway system. > o—- —o — Testing Drivers:— The search for more accurate and informative methods and devices for testing the ability of automobile drivers goes on. A current step forward is an apparatus which can give the person being tested the illusion of actually being in a changing traffic situation, and can measure his reactions to hazards and evaluate their probable results. IDemonstration of the device has been started in New York. This machine seems to come close to finding out what a person really would do in response to a , given danger. Driver training for , some time has dealt with the dangerous situations whjch are likely to arise on the road, and with' the courses of action which I\■ ■ 1 tire best for each situation. The student's learning of tjiese perils and the things whith should be , dime about them are tested with questions. It is well known, however, that wheb danger really appears and fright grips the heart, a person does not always do what he has been taught to do. Great progress has been made in Recent in devising machines'and techniques which can measure a person’s skills, abilities ■ .i ■ and reflexes without actually exposing him and iothers to danger. It is possible for a driver to learn a good deal about himself and hiss norihal reactions to traffic incidents through these tests.

This surface is then removed by scraping, and further burning is carried out until all of the wart lias been removed. 'Warts in the bearded area of. the face tend to recur and spread rapidly they are frequently injured |n the process of shaving. They are also removed by electric needle and cautery. It is suggested that? an ointment of aureomycin be applied to the face after shaving and before retiring. This helps to relieve . the number of recurrences and speeds tin* healing. . Warts around the nails are difficult to remove permanently. It is suggested that they may be treated by cutting away the overlying nail and then using a form of acetic acid followed by a salicylic acid preparation. This is kept oh for a week, the dead tissue is cut away, and ah antiseptic ointment put on. If. during the tfhne the salicylic acid is on the wart, it becomes extremely phinful the ointment may have to be removed. A single treatment ‘Usually brings about a cure. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS D.G.:- Myk. grandson, age 5, swallowed a button and it is still in. his stomach after a week. What would\ypU suggest? ' Answer: . X-rays should be taken fiphi time to ti|me to determine whether. or ! not the* button has . passed intp the intestine. • puce it is in the intestine, it should pass into the bowel and out of the body. Even if it should become fixed in one position for a period of several weel;s. operative removal is seldom required. ■* . •

CHAPTER FORTY-ONE THERE came no word of any crossing, along the river, following • the bombardment. The next day a strange quiet hung over the opposite shore as if all life there suddenly had ceased. The river flowed, blue as the sky, between the shores. ' ( The Gazette printed a long story, a few days later. “Assault on Our Shores from Fort Erie Gallantly Repulsed,’* ran the heading. Defeated in it,< the enemy, before abandoning the fort and retreating' inland, had blown up their magazine. ' “The strength of our - de] sense has achieved peace for us,” stated Ollie Kane. Quint threw the newssheet down with a sound of deep disgust A great triumph! One gun had been fired from the American side of the river. .Peace, maybe, because for some strategic reason the British forces were withdrawing from the river. But peace would not be in him—he had been shaken in those convictions he had clung to so stubbornly. For all the terror she had shown, Becky was the only light-hearted one in the household. Michael; Duffy, the young drover, had told her he was coming back in two weeks or so, she confided to Jennet her cheeks very red as she whispered it ' “He’s got enough saved to marry on, he said. Hie wants to settle, somewheres... He’s nice-spoken!** I Jennet was startled at the dis- ; tinct pang; of envy she felt , “You’re silly—you don’t know htm,”. she protested. “And there Is Erron Piers...” “Erron Piers! You’re the one who is silly,” countered the younger girl with a spirit acquired on the instant “You’re the one he comes here to see!” Jennet made no answer for the reason that, since the hours in the woods, against her will she was feeling sorry for Erron. And he' had risked his life to get Aladdin to safe shelter-—she must be kind to him. She was as shaken in her feelings as was Quint Some days later O’lie Kane, making a reckless inrcad in nis stock of precious paper, brought out an extra edition of the Gazette, Big type told that the long-planned invasion of Canada through Lake Champlain was under way, a strong force already on the march toward Montreal, bigger tvoe that i ’

the enemy troops had been withdrawn from along the Canadian shore of the river to join Brigadier General John Vincent at Burlington Heights and proceed from there to the defense and Montreal. “We on the frontier may now return to Our peacetime affairs, and occupation^..." There was some mockery in this where Quint was concerned. ' He could not return to his plans of enterprise. Hi did not let flimself thirik of them. And his work around the tavern had at no time been interrupted. “Aunt Rhoda can cross the river safely now, Uncle Quint,” said-Jen-net after she had read the sheet. “Can’t we plant some flower seeds so they’ll be growing when she cornels?” Quint gave her a startled look* He had not thought of that. He was not letting himself think of Rhoda, either. Os how he would feel toward her, if she did Come back. . “Put in some seeds if, you like—t. I’ll turn the ground. But I doubt, after enjoying my brother’s way of living, • she’ll return to this.” He spoke with bitterness. Rhoda’s go-, ing to Alec was a great part of the sense oi defeat that had grown in him. \ j Jennet began to wdrk in Rhoda’a garden, and while she worked she rehearsed to herself what she would say to Erron Piers when they next met. It must be kind and at the same time discouraging to any ideas he might have of courting her. But Erron did not come. It was ; more than a week how since that night in the woods and he had not come, d fact which gave Jennet great annoyance. Then, one day, she was out by the sheds and she heard him shout, to her from the beach. He was running. “Miss Jennet, they’re hauling all the craft from the yard, up the river... They’ll be along right soon ... you can see ’em .. .** “The brig?” asked Jennet, as breathless as he. , * • “Aye. She’s the beauty of the fleet. Where’s Quint? They’ll need 1 more hands along here where the current’s swifter ...” He was running toward the house as he spoken and Jennet was running beside him. j.-; Erron was not the only runner tc soread the news.

coining from every direction to gather at the landing. Some came friapi the Buffalo village on horseback. The same story was on evf; . tongue. Captain Oliver HazaM ry was taking advantage of thei abandonment oi the fort across the river to move the ships from the yard at Sca|aquada Creek to Ppcsqu’ile, where he was asscm- ' bling a big fleet. Four oarsmeh had secretly rowed him over the lake from line a few nights before. ' The ships appeared in sight—a curious spectacle, tor Jicy were being hauled from the shore by oxen and horses and seamen who would man them when they got into the. smoother, 'ake waters. First came the prize ship that had been captured from the British the year before, then two small schooners, som'e of Alton’s Durham boats and last the brig. A loud shouting lifted. Jennet’s throat hurt as if she nad shouted, too, though she wasn’t sure it wasn’t a sob. “Oh, she’S so beawtiful! But, Erron —” She caught at his arm. "The pennant!” \ . “1 hid it in a corner of the fo’c'sle cabin.” He spoke low , close to her ear. Then he shook off her hand. "I*ll take a hawsei and haul.. “Erron, let me ...**, She knew ; then it was a sob in her throat. Because she could not take a hawser and haul, along with Erron ' and those others. \ The men on the bank scrambled down to river level to give a hand,, if .feelp were needed. All but Quint —-he did not move. Jenhet saw him standing alone, his eyes on the brig, and a look on his face . she never had seen there before—of irretrievable loss. shc went to him. “Uncle Quint —she’ll come back! The brig, 1 , mean." He was angry because he had , betrayed what he' was feeling'. He spoke harshly. “What do you know ' of it? Do you claim: powers of foresight, such as Mistress Sa? briha’s?” ;“J dare hope!” she retorted. But she: would not tell him that the little pennant was still aboard the brig. He would laugh at her. i “Hope ...** He 1 looked dow-n at her,- almost contemptuously. "Yes, ypu can—you’re young!” Then he : swung around “and stalked back to the tavern.
