Abdominal Condition Os Infancy And Early Years

EARLY diagnosis in of the utmost Importance where the ttevere abdominal conditions of Infancy and early childhood are concerned, because the poshibib Ity of a cure is greatly Increased by proper treatment In the early stages of the disorder. Telescoping of the bowel, otherwise known as intussusception, is one of these conditions. Occurring most frequently in wellnourished infants 'under about twd years of age, ,lts first symptom is severfe, colicky pain in the abdomen. The infant usually cries at frequent intervals, and. draws his legs upward. He may sleep quietly between these spells. Then vomiting and refusal to eat occur. If the circulation to the bowel is cut off by the telescoping, there may be evidence of shock. Though usually one of the late symptoms, it may develop early. The child may pass stools containing a mixture of bright red blood and mucus. The typically described “prune-juice-like stool” is also very common. , If the abdomen is carefully felt, a swelling may be noted. Upon examination of the. rectum, the physician may be able to feel the intussusception or bowel telescoping, in some cashes. X-rays of the abdomen usually do not help in making a diagnosis, because/ the symptoms of bow’el obstruction due to the intussusception do not occur until Ute in

perty. If boys could be impressed with the fact that they are not allowed to play along the railroad tracks, tragedies like the Bloomfield case would never happen. — o—-o— - I • , A list of the furnishings of a -limodsine being prepared for delivery to Juan Peron, dictator of \ Argentina, may cause many peo-' pie to envy those for the luxury in which they can live. The auto will cost SII,OOO and will be equipped with refrigeration, airconditioning, folding fables, telephones, a fully equipped bar and, for the persphs in the back seat, a television set. But another item listed in the Peron special is onO which most people are glad they can do Without. It is bullet-proof fclass. Those who ride behind shields from bullets know a sort ofl uneasiness tvhich must dim a little of the luster of their luxury. o o— — For more than a half century J. Charles Brock was Identified with the retail life in this city. Founded by his father, the late John Brock, a tinner’s store w&s a focal point in shopping circles, but later absorbed by ihe modern department store that stocked tinware and kitchen utensils that turned out by workers along the conveyor line. Mr, Brock \ maintained an avid Interest in Decatur’s march of progress. He was a descendent from a local pioneer family and was an -authority on many of the historical incidents in this community. His death removes one of the merchants who was engaged in business iq,this city at the turn of the i century. ——o o 1 A bill has been introduced in Congress Which would help in the training of student nurses.. The present need of the nation for nurses is set v ly. Only abotft. 38yO0O new nurses are graduated \ every year. The bill would. provide scholarships for girls who cannot afford to; pay board and tuition while they are in training. It would also allot money from federal funds to aid in recruiting nurses, to build new nursing schools and to expand schools already in existence. ' Nurses are vital to the public welfare, and * the adequacy of their ' \ r ’’ numbers is therefore a public problem. Government aid may not be the answer, but the problem, which has troubled, hospitals for several merits attention at hiiih levels. r

the disease. Colic is distinguished from this condition by the fact that there Is usually no vomiting, the bowel movements have been normal, and the child appears to be in good health. An enema usually brings relief of the colic. Sometimes a child may have a hardening of the stool in, the intestine . which causes symptoms like those of intussusception. However, the physician can usually tell whether or not thi£ condition exists by performing a Simple rectal examination. It is no\w acepted byi most authorities that' the best treatment for telescoping of the bowel is early surgery. Operation is generally performed as soon as a diagnosis is made, and the bowel that has telescoped is pulled out. If there is no disturbance in the circulation, no further surgery is necessary and the abdomen is closed. Most infants recover very well from this disease \if diagnosis is made early,.- and treatment promptly carried out. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS E.L.: What could cause itching on the back of the ears? Answer: Itching on the back of the ears may be due to a fungus infection. If this is the cause, it may be treated, under the direction of your fchysichan, by the use of zinc undecyclenate as a fungicide. ’ '

CHAPTER ONt* I \ JIM ELIOT (|rove his new car slowly down th< main street, liking the feel of the slick wheel under his hands, hearing the purr of the motor with a surge of inner satisfaction. This was good. * This w’as repayment for what life had done to him before. Ten years of it. He looked down at his left hand, at the rough stub where two fingers were missing. This time no frenzied impulse to kill tore at him. Tftday had justified his decision to locate in this Southern city. Expansion was in the air, the town was moving outward slowly. He felt his wallet through the fabric of his new coat.. Two nice fat commission checks today. He could live well for a couple of months. He parked the car, looked up at the second-float windows of the building before which he stood. The new gold iign that glittered there read: JAMES ELIOT, REALTOR I ! , V I He stood so long looking up at the shining windows that he became awpre of, the curious, indulgent grins of passers-by. A red-), headed woman' in expensive but badly chosen clothes rushed up to him. I' ' "You’re the one?” she asked abruptly. “The one who sold the Higgins farm?" ’ , "I’m Jim Eliot,” he said. "Can I do something fox’ you?” | > "Gan we go up to your office? I’m Mrs. .Iglehart. Mrs. Ramsay Iglehart* She gave a too-young hat a jerk and poked back a wild lock of the flaming hair. Jim followed her up the stairs. She was small and slender, her face was ugly, mottled with brown spots. A rich fur piece hung carelessly over her shoulders. An expensive silk blouse showed a missing button. \ 1 C Jim Eliot put his brief cast down on the desk, hung his hat behind the door and took the chair facing her. "I’ve got a place I want to sell,” she said. "It’s cjose in—forty acres. Too small to earn any profit. I took it on, a trade, held it for four years but I don’t want anything that doesn’t make pioney for me. My husband is' a director of the Second National Bank. But I manage my own affairs. Can you sell that property for me at a profit?” -I A greedy woman, Eliot decided, greedy and stubborn —probably erratic too. Forty-odd, obviously, and clinging to youth desperately. Her fingers were browned with nicotine. Dirty diamonds and one great emerald adorned her hands. "I’d have to know something about this property,” he said, carefully. | >• , ’‘There’s a house—six rooms. It’s rented, but not for enough to carry the place. Some other buildings, I think. Are you married ?” she asked abruaUx. . i

Jim Eliot tightened his lips. "I am not,” he said, "living with my wife.” "You’re young. Were you in the war?” "Yes, I was in the war. Suppose you give me the location of this place you want to sell and I’ll look it over. If I decide that it can be sold immediately I’ll take it on—otherwise, no. I’ll phone you.” "I’m in the phone book,” she volunteered, "Ramsay Iglehart.” He walked with her to the door, smiled politely and bowed her‘out. She turned back at the head of the stairs, studied him for a minute. Thepe was a kind of remoteness about him that baffled her. He couldn’t be more than thirty, but there was something oddly ageless in >his face, a judicial thing such as you saw in thefaces of the very old. v She teetered down the stairs on her high heels, thinking that this Jim .Eliot was amazingly goodlooking, with his square shoulders, his narrow waist, ftis dark skin and eyes and brown hair that was already thinning a bit at the temples. Married, but not living with his wife! A war-casualty marriage, probably. A pity too, for the town could use a few decent-looking young men who wers unattached. She drove to her husband’s office. A thin young woman, with a grave face and dark half drawn back into a prim kn.ot, looked up from a typewriter, i "He’s down at the hotel, In a conference, Joan,” she said. Joan Iglehart twitched a shoulder. "All right, Emma, I’ll wait Nobody in there?” "No, nobody. Go on in. Shall I order something up for you ? You look hot.” . "A limeade—with plenty of ice.” They had gone to school together. Emma Rigley knew all about her but to Joan' that did not greatly matter. Little that had happened to Joan Iglehart had ever dashed her amiable self-assurande. i Ramsay’s office looked like Ramsay, Joan thought as she went in and closed the door. Everything exactly in place. Everything the best. Everything incredibly dull. Ramsay's house looked like that too. Everything Ramsay owned was correct and dull and ordered—everything but his wife. But he let her alone. He never nagged or criticized. When she got into messes, as she had away of doing, he calmly got her out. Just how smooth would things be if Ramsay decided to run for Congress? Well, she’d worry about that when it happened. "T . J She jerked open a drawer In the polished desk and found a bottle of gin. When the boy came with the tray she mixed the lime juice with gin and drank it greedily. Then she slumped into the deep chair.

Liquor License Hearings Today Two hearings on applications for licenses were scheduled for three o’clock this afternoon in the court house before the Local Alcoholic Beverage Board. . ; Carl H. and Martha Mies are seeking a renewal of their beerand wine retail license in the restaurant of the bowling alley building, 262 N.

leaned her head back and dozed a little. ■ ! ' When her husband came in at noqh, she wakened with a start. "flello,” she said. Ramsay Iglehart was short and inclined to thickness, so he held himself very erect. "I might have brought someone in with me," he reminded her, gently. "I can see glimpses of your underwear, Joan.” She struggled up, shook down her skirt. "I went to see that now man about getting rid of the Hamniond place.” “You’D have to take a loss, Joan. You might as well reconcile yourself to that.” 'I , "I don’t like losses. I won’t take a loss. I’D keep it forever first.” “Want to take me to lynch?” she asked suddenly. “Not today. I’m seeing softie people.” Ramsay sat down at the desk. I Joan went out, giving Emma a flick of the fingers for farewell. Poor Emma! Her life was drab. Back tn his office Jim Eliot closed hts very new appointment book and returned !♦ to the drawer. He had met Laura Blayde the day before. She was, he suspected, older than he, but she was an easy, friendly person, with a kind of spontaneous gaiety that answered some lack that he recognized within himself. She had told him that she worked in the credit department of the city’s largest store. He dialed her telephone number. She answered. "This is Jim Eliot. Would you be Interested in having lunch with a rising young salesman who has just sold two farms and would like to celebrate?” Her laughter eased his brief unease at his own boldness. "I love celebrations,” she said. “Say where and when.” "Suppose you take pity on the stranger in town and say where yourself? I could pick the wrong spot, you know.” “Very well. Kleinsmith’s is reputed to have the best food in town. It’s usually crowded at lunchtime. Should we go a little early? Say just before twelve?* "Just before twelve it is. Shall I drive by and - pick you up?” "Heavens, no! It’s just around the corner. I’ll meet you at the door. > The name is "Mrs. Blayde, by the way,, but everybody calls me Laura. So to get you off on the right foot I’D call you Jim.” \ "AD right, Laura.” So she was married too. Or perhaps a widow. At any rate he had liked her, and if everybody called her by her first name obviously she had friends. Until now he had wanted to go his way alone. It had been an uphill way. leading him through many places and experiences that he wanted now to put definitely behind him. <•. (To Be Continued J jfeßlfr
