Mass X-Rays Help Dete ct TB

By Herman N. Bundesen, M.D. In 1900, 202 persons out of every 100,000 in the I United Stated were reported as having ..tuberculosis. In 1948, only 30 per 100,000 were reported as suffering front this di£ease. Tuberculosis, formerly dreaded as the “white death,” is thus be-, coming less and less significant tn' this country. i about 1,000 Americans ; are reported as dying each week from tuberculosis, which is still the leading? effuse of death between the ages. ofjs and 35. -■ | | . . Mass Surveys Helpful ~~* The decline in the death rate and number ot.cases has been credited in partrat least, to the masi tuberculosis surveys throughout the country. These surveys to uncover bidden c ( ases are very helpful in preventing tuberculous. Every citizen might well hav<? at least one chest X-ray a year, not only to help \ himself, but to help his community - strike opt this terrible disease. „ | Tuberculosis sometimes tends to be not too explosive at first, and piany persons with mild cases are walking the streets without any pronounced symptoms. But these persons can easily spread the disease to Others. It is these Oases in which discovery is important, for 4t can spread in the ‘ individual himself and to the genT eral population. As the disease progresses, it * brings the symptoms of coughing. « tplttiug up blood, loss of weight, flight sweats, and general weak-

Comparisons a with a modern period, they thought, wilt be more Realistic and useful. The change fn the index basis may be an official admission that the pre-war » days, and the prices which prevailed in them, are gone forever. The people have long suspected it and now apparently the experts suspect it, too. j. ’ .? . ——o o Santa W ill Fly In:—• 1 Santa Claus will fly here Saturday, December 1, tb officially open the Christmas season.

Decatur stores will be in full dress and ready to accomodate the Christmas shopper?, for this is the time when we all remember friends. ■ KF —• ■ O 0 Santa's Helpers:— Good ol’ Santa Claus has engaged Junior Chamber of Commerce members as his helpers during 7 his busiest season. The Jaycees will lend a helping ha nd to the Good Fellows club by mending and restoring discarded toys so that the Good Fellows can deliver them to needy children Christmas Eve. r 1 ■Now, that’s one sure way of helping to distribute Christmas cheer to tiny tots who believe in the goodness of Santa, but who ■ v .. - - plight be forgotten in the holiday rush. .

ties.-. ■ 1 Ij. Many Advances : The past few years have seen many advances in the treatment and care of tuberculosis, One of these has been the use of streptomycin. which is effective in early 'dgses. Many a case has been beneifjted by this drug, used together with early surgical procedure, such as collapse of the lung and injection df air into the pleural cavity. Another drug* known as PAS (para.arninosalicylic acid) has recently been found helpful in certain cases when with streptomycin. 'Certain far-advanced cases, in Which part of the lung has been destroyed, were formerly believed incprabfe? However, lung surgery has ibecome more and more perfected, and parts of the diseased lung or even the whole lung have beeh\Temoved in these cases with excellent results. _< Slowly s but surely is this disease being conquered. QUESTIONS AMD ANSWERS . C. P. R.: What would cause a discharge from the navel of an ipfant? Answer: The most common cause ,of discharge from the navel is an infection in that area. However, it may be due to an abnormal passage between the bowel or bladder and the ngvel. y ' If would be advisable to have the infant examined by a physician as soon as possible to determine the cause of this Condition,

' \ CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX IN THE ape .aent, warm and rosy. Mollie checked with Hazel •.bout dinner, hung her wraps away, brushed her hair. Peter called the hospital and located himself to the registration clerk. Mollie watched him as he did this, liking the sweep pf his ruddy hair, the earnestness of his face, the way his brown jacket lay upon his straight shoulders, his strong neck, his coat collar against it. He put the phone down and turned, smiling. “You look cute in that red dress,” he said impulsively. i Mollie laughed. She was glad she looked—cute. “Hazel says dinner is ready, and it isn’t hash.” “Oh, what a shame!” “You may be consoled, because she does short ribs very well.” “May I pick up the bones?” “You’d better* or you’ll starve to death.” \ > It was foolish talk, young talk, somewhat Obvious—but Mollie enjoyed it much as Hazel enjoyed their appetites, their appreciation of her good meal. Dr. Shepherd even asked for, and got, a second piece of lempn pie. "We’ll take our coffee to the fire,” said Mollie, leading the way. “And you’ll tell me about that psychopath business —you know— Clara.” “She is a genuine one,” Mollie assured him. “I’ve, known her v slightly for some time, and quite well for two years. And Nicholas has made quite a study of her. He talks to her at length, getting his data. Os course, a psychopathic liar is not too uncommon, but he’s interested ip reasons. He thinks there are two explanations of Clara’s constant lying; One is a deep inferiority complex—” “She’d deny that” Mollie laughed. “Wouldn’t she! Then —and no one can deny this! —she talks all the time. She necessarily runs out of facts, so she makes up stories about all sorts of things." ' The consideration of Clara as a psychopathic case was evidently new to Peter. “But those people are usually dangerous . |.» .” he mused. “Clara is dangerous. At least, to the point where she should be watched.” “Like Pol| ?” \ “No. I don't think there is anything definitely malignant about Clara." “Just\ a gift for making trouble?” ' : T ‘The distinction is that the trouble she makes is a result rather than a purpose.” “I see. Then the trick is to step out from under.” “Something of that sort. Os < course, if you do watch her, you’ll find it an interesting pastime.” Mollie was seated in the green and rose striped arm chair, Peter in the couch corner closest to the fire. “It’s the first time I’ve ever considered a Uar as a peychologlcaljjrohltta*’’ nuisfid Peter.

' I1 "' ■ 1 ' 1,1 ■ ""l 1 " 111 “Clara isn’t the ordinary garden variety of liar,” Mollie instructed him. “She deviates in various ways. For one thing, she either has a poor memory, or lies so uncon-\ sciously that she feels no need to try to remember the she tells. It’s quite easy to catch\ her OUt.” ■ ' ' ' ] I ' “I know. But she hotly denies ever having said the things she did say.” He spoke so bitterly that Mollie glanced at him. | “She's done that to you?” “Yes. That time when I called her about letting me get you into a—er —situation. She denied the whole thing, and so plausibly that I began to wonder if I were not mistaken.” “I know the manner she uses. Wide-eyed, innocent*— You’re mistaken. You misunderstood!” \ “Or it was six other people.” Mollie laughed. “Os course, that explains her continued friendliness even when you’ve quite plainly shown her that she was being blamed. If she can deny doing anything, can dispute that a lie was ever told, why, she certainly can get over your mistaken rage and forgive you.” Peter thought about that, regarding his tan brogues propped upon their heels before the fire. “That makes her a pretty complex person, doesn’t it ? I’in not too welt versed in psychiatry. . . .” “I’m an amateur myself. But it’s an interesting diversion. Os course, in all fairness, I must admit that Clara has many good qualities.” “But even her friendliness is. suspect. ...” . < “Studying a personality is something like examining an old painting. In removing dirt and layers of varnish and paint, you must be careful lest you destroy the basic work of art." Again she was unconsciously quoting Nicholas. His talk, his thoughts. "Clara’s generous,” Mollie tabulated now. “You know she is, Peter.” "Yes, and she made me very comfortable while I was in her house. She was always doing something for somebody-sitting with babies, or helping with sickness. . “That’s right. Though—” “That’s where she gets her stories, and tells ’em, too,” said Peter. "But? just the same, 1 do think there is more good to Clara than bad. Nicholas doesn’t agree with me. He attaches a certain maliciousness to hen falsehoods.” "Does he think she’s consciously malicious ?” “He argues that consciousness makes no difference. That harm done is just as harmful —” “I expect one could argue that.” Mollie laughed. "It’s been argued," she assured him. He looked across at her. “You know, when 1 first knew yoti,«l thought you saw a lot of Dr. Cowan. But—” "Nicholas is an odd person,” said Mollie, her tone reserved, careful.

“His Interests come and go. One month he’s absorbed in astronomy, another it may be poisons or anthropolgy. He and 1 are good friends.. but his interest in me can giye way before —other interests. But he seems to keep his Interest in Clara and her ways. He calls that interest pearl diving.” "What does he mean?” “The search for a pearl of truth in her tales. And since her tales on a single subject can vary to an absurd degree, it’s often a lot of fun to go diving ” Peter looked across at her, his smile encouraging. "As for instance . . •” > Mollie kicked off one black slipper, and curled her foot andknee under her. “You couldn’t escape my telling you,” she assured him. “Do you by-any chance know Emmy Bradshaw?” , » "I know Dr. Bradshaw. He’s an allergist.” “Emmy’s his wife. They live in No. 5 here on the Square. Second ? floor, 1 think. Emmy was an R.N., and she was 30 when she married. Clara Immediately declared it to be a doubtful undertaking because Emmy couldn’t have children; that was what made her so heavy.” “Qpes she wear a red coat and a scarf?” ' "That's the woman. She’s nice, rather—and Nicholas was especially cheered whom she became pregnant Almost immediately after the marriage. He hoped it would confound’ Clara, though of course by then She’d her earlier , statement. She was immediately engaged with the possibilities ' Which Emmy now presented. At first she assured us that Emmy was So fat that Dr. Irvine couldn’t be sure she was pregnant." "Irwine must love that woman.” "Oh, he poisons her three times a week. Regularly. But when it became evident to the most innocent of us that Emmy was more than ‘stout,’ we had an exciting day or two while Clara called upon everyone, bearing the breathless Word that Dr. Irvine thought the fetus, was dead: no life had been felt for a week. And wasn’t it a shame! At her age, Emmy wasn’t apt to have more babies.” “Wasn’t it true?" “No, but here’s where you go , pear| diving. This pearl of truth lay in the fact that Dr. Irvine had | lectured Emmy about being so I heavy and getting heavier. Indeed, he had said to her, rather brutally, *You must take off some of that flesh. As fat as you are, you could suffocate the infant.*" ! “I see. What happened next? , Did She take off the weight?” “Not noticeably. She was huge. And Clara’s story changed to the announcement that Emmy was . carrying twins.” Peter’S eyes were twinkling. "And ...” "You’re learning.
