Treating Reaction To S erum ! !

WE can guard against the worst effects of many diseases through injections of immunize ing serums. They are valuable not only in preventive medicine, but also after exposure to many instances. The person, for example, who J suffers a deep puncture wound or any dirty injury is exposed to the possibility of lockjaw or tetanus. This set rious' disorder can be prevented if he is immediately given an injection of anytetanic serum. Similarly, a. person 'who has been exposed to diphtheria without previous I: immunization can be protected by a large dose of • diphtheria antitoxin, . also a se- ' rum prepartion. Though so beneficial in their effects, serums hold their own dangers. Either of them may. / cause a reaction, known, as 1 serum sickness,„ eight to twelve days after the injection is given. The - symptoms are fever, pain in . the 1 joints, skin rash, and swelling ofthe lymph glands. ' Serum sickness may develop In from five to ninety percent at, those receiving the scrum. A large dose of tierum' is more likely tp produce a reaction than a small one. ‘ - 1 ' \ Hora# seru®. fro® tlx# ’ - ' A' ‘ \

lever-of the Union. Despite', the appeals of Davis to sectional feeb , • Ing, Foote won by 1,000 votes. By >contrast with 1851, when such , grave matters hinged on the choice of a governor, these times are secure and hopeful. ■■ o o Romantic Rider:— 4 Modern and writers of historical romance, alH ways on the alert for persons and events, perhaps have not fully appreciated, the possibilities of the story of Paul ~ Revere. His ride to Lexington i and Concord to warn of the approach of the British soldiers is one of the best-known episodes in our history. \ There are other reasons for remembering Revere. He was a noted silversmith, and pieces bear- * \ *■ ing bis initials are much sought fafter today. He was an engraver ;of skill, and created the seal which is still used by the Coin- .■- • r . monwealth of Massachusetts. His creative career and one adventurous feat make him an inpersonality of his times. . 9 —‘ Austerity:— 'T The new Conservative government is taking Great Britain an- ■ pother stride along the pathway ’which led to defeaj. for the Labor government —the way of austerity. The term came into . use during . the war to denote the paring down of the material comforts of life to ■'bare essentials in order to concentrate national energy on the of war. , The British may have thought they werM°wn to bare essentials, but apparently the essentials can • become even more bare. The will further reduce t imports, cut out some non-ration- . ed foods, tax profits more heavily, and restrict building and travel more sharply The Conservatives already flirt . w'ith political disaster. It must be that they pin their hopes on another part of the economic program, a new effort to increase production by British industry. If they can be successful in this, where the Laborites failed, they might be able to put .an end to Austerity before facing a new election. jl ~ ■ Armistice Dinner is Held Saturday More than 800 Legionnaires and L members of the auxiliary attended the dinner Saturday night at the American. Legion home, held in observance of Armistice ; Day. a The regular meeting of the Legion will be held this evening. The - program will include a memorial Service for deceased members.

above-mentioned preparations are derived, .apparently causes more reactions than, do thdse from other sources: It is believed that severe reactions which may ’occur are most probably dUe to allergy, to the seruni. f Thus, before patients are given 4ny form of serum, it should be determined whether; they had previously received the serum and whether they are allergic to it. Any history of an allergic condition, such as hives.; asthma, hay fever, or some other form of .sensitivity should be a Warning sign to administer the serum with ex- . feteme care. > ■'"..All patients should be skin-, tested to determine I whether or ato't they are sensitive to the set|ha before it is given! If they are sensitive, the serum should be given in small, divided doses and the; patient watched Carefully. If a serum reaction does occur, the .use: of- anti-histaminic drugs or » epinephrine may be of help in relieving the symptoms.

1 CHAPTER SEVENTEEN MOLLIE looked at Nicholas oddly, after he ha d affirmed his Jealousy of hearing her diac use Peter.. She was swept with the strangest feeling that she had never before seen this man whom .she had thought she Knew so completely. “Well," she said, trying *to make a light tone conceal her confusion. Above all else, she wanted to appear well before Nicholas, and to know that she had —all evening!—talked to him in a maudlin fashion about another { man! Exclusively about Peter. . Exclusively maudlin. She attempted a roguish smile. “I guessed that you weren’t a patient." She waited to see the effect of this coyness. There was no gffect. He regarded her coldly v “Was there a special reason for your dropping in, Nicholas?” she asked softly. “I thought—” He sat down in the chair across from her. "Mollie,” he said angrily, **lt is utter nonsense to think we can go back, both- of us, and ignore the fact that I asked you to marry me and that you flatly refused.” “I’m sorry, Nicholas, if it seemed—” "You did refuse me.” “Yes. But I’m sorry if my refusal was flat. You took me by surprise, and—well, I’m sorry if my manner hurt you.” ' He rubbed his hands together. “I suppose,” he said slowly, "that there’s ,no way to do that sort of thing a man would like.” He smiled ruefully. "Men being by nature full of pride, and their egos badly inflated." Mollie laughed aloud with relief. That Was more tike him. "Why,” she asked prettily, "did you come to the .office?” "Well—" He glanced up at her, somewhat shamefaced. "Mac. cornered me at lunch today with a suggestion about my doing more active practice.” His brown eyes questioned her. _**l wanted to talk over his idea. I needed a second point of view—” He took out his pipe, and looked at it. “You may not love me, Mollie, but I felt you would be interested —” He peered up at her. “Oh, 1 am, Nicholas! Os epurse, I am. >!As for—well, I’m not so sure that 1 don’t love you.” His head lifted. “I know," he, said dryly. "In away. As if there were many ways to love!” His voice rasped.. “But, Nicholas.. "0.K.; O.K. We won’t talk about it. By Jail means, let’s change the subject.’ We can always go back to Pete?. And if we can’t say any new things, we can say the old things, over and over." Mollie sat back, looking at him,, wide-eyed. “I’ve never -seen you so—so upset,” she breathed. "Goop reason. I’ve never been so upset!” She watched him pace the length of the room. "Nicholas,” she said softly, when he returned, “what’s happened to us?” He stood looking down at her. Then a spasm contorted his face. “I don’t want to talk about it,” he said tightly. “I should be able to take my medicine—but I can’t So please go on and make a little conversation. Ask me if I’ve read any good books lately." Mollie beat her fist against the softness of the couch. *T can’t bear the wajr things art between you

Archbold. \■' ■ | “A mattrial known as calfide is’ : being solil in certain counties in- | Indiana a£ a soil conditioner At I j prices up to $74.50 a ton.

and me!”|she gasped. "Please—tell me what Mac said.” \\ “AU right Mollie.” He spoke of Dr. Mclntosh’s suggestion that he open offices, and’ perhaps a convalescent home for orthopedics, a rehabilitation center— i ; Mollie was interested. But it was no good.; He watched her, and listened, aft if he waited for her to say something—which she did not say. Finally, he interrupted her brightly enthusiastic comments. “Thank you, Mollie,” he said wearily, and ’ abruptly strode. up the steps, out of the apartment. Mollie sat, stricken, in a drift of newspaper pages. £At last, she believed that Nicholas loved her. And she—she made a soft sound, of regret. Then, without warning, tears welled into her eyes, and ran down her cheeks. She sat helpless, swamped with grief at her own bungling, With Peter Shepherdp with Nicholas. But it was devastating to think she could love two men —and know she was failing With both of them. She had been, “managing” with Peter, and meant to go on being so, maternal type or not. As for Nicholas—how mistaken could a girl get? Calling him critical. Well, he was, but she loved it. And missed it when he wasn’t. As for his bcirig cold—he was not! Nor self-cdntrolled. She’d been mistaken—but how tell him sot In the old days, they had often quarreled and made up, usually with laughter. \ ’ But Nicholas was right, they i could not go back to the old way—and she didn’t know hovV. to go on i in the new. “Ain’ Dr. Cowan stayin’ for dinner?" asked Hazel from behind her. \ "No. H<? left.” “Oh, that’s too bad.” Yes, it;’was too bad. Much too • bad. ■ \ > Peter Shepherd now was on duty i in Boone Hospital itself, and Mol- ; lie saw him only when surgery I took her jover there. But he nad i fallen intb away of dropping in ’ at her apartment; once he came i to her office. From time to time I she showed,her willingness to talk to him about both personal and , professional matters, but usually i their talk was professional. Mollie was a tittle put out that this !, should be so—after all she was a ; woman—she passed on to Peter ; Nicholas' Jfavorite advice. “Leave your work behind you, Peter, when you leave the hospi- : tai,” she told him, “If you don't, > there was no point in getting your- : self an outside apartment.” ’ “1 know you’re right,” he said I readily. ;“But I don’t - just know how you'd take anything outside of hospital talk.” i As confused as If she were sixteen, Mollie spoke hastily. “You i don’t understand—l meant the tension, about patients, about yoUr i fellow workers. Try to leave that I behind." i "It’s got me worried,” he confessed. “The fellow workers, par- , ticularly. They pull some very fast , plays, you know.” v * Back to the profession again—- > but Mollie did know. She too had i gone through the mill of being surgical intern and surgical resident, both senior and junior, tn the Group, In her case, she’d been s striking for assistant to the Or.thopedic surgeon. But Peter would like to be assistant to the Chief

to be frdm a. deposit which contains limestone and gypsupi. “Both.limestone and gypsum are exempt from the Indiana fertilizer law and farmers are urged by A.S. Carter, phief inspector for the state chemist,; to use good judgment in the amount they pay for soil conditioning materials.

himself.; And there were a half dozen other capable young surgeons trying for the same position. I / Especially, there was Dr. Poli. “He’s too fast for me, Mollie," said Peter in despair. "He’ll do anything, I’m afraid, to get appointed assistant to Mclntosh.” “It’s quite a job,” said Mollie. “Mclntosh—he’s very good, and as | Chief Surgeon of the Group...'” 'He’s a nice guy.” Mollie sighed a little. “1 think you should consider him more m the light of his position as Chief Surgeon. That comes first with him, you know. 1 mean, in the hospital. IT you want to be his assistant, it will have to come first with you.” “Well, sure, I Want that,” said Peter in an almost prayerful tone. "Golly, Assistant to Mclntosh —it just means assured success in my profession, that’s all!” "Yes, it would mean that,” said Mollie soberly. "You have to be good even to get into a place to hope for that appointment." "If being a good surgeon was all it took—’’ said Peter unhappily. "But you are a candidate," said Mollie. “I can tell you that much." “tylhmmm. And 1 can tell you that there is some very dirty work afoot to let some other man be the lucky guy.” "I know. You should watch that dirty work, Peter. Perhaps de some of. jrour own." , He looked at her in surprise. “You mean that?” •(Well, ; raaybe not. But do watch them, Peter.” *flf you see anything, wall you tell me?” v “No. You know I shouldn’t” His smile was\ instantly apologetic. “1 do know. You've been more than kind and generous, already, ' Sometimes, I think I’m beyond my depths here in the Grdup.” ; \ “If you were, Mclntosh would have lopped off your head weeks ago.” “Yeah, he does that, doesn’t he? The least fumble in the theater— I don’t get nervous working with him, or with him watching me. That’s in my favor.” "It certainly is. And If you watch the dirty politics—Don’t let them get you into a corned, Peter. The other residents, I mean. Keep your skirts clear. Be able to justify you do. And, above all, break no rules!” “Yeah. I’ll try. Some of the men don’t even like me, Mollie.” She latighed. "It isn’t you. They Teel the same way about all the , Chaps they’re bucking.” "1 guess so. It bothers me, | though. I’d rather people liked j ,me.” ' - | “People, do.” i “You do,” he said, with one of his swift, exciting smiles. "And that ought \to be enough (for any guy* Why wouldn’t a woman like a man so ready to prftise her, so unreserved in his admiration ? “I'll always be glad to talk over a problem with you," Mollie offered. "Oh, I know I can count on you," he answered warmly. Nicholas had warned her of danger, but what harm could come of h showing interest in this promising young doctor, handicapped by an inability to do downright dirty work? Mollie would advise Peter, and there was no danger. . , . (To Be
