Ko.v Type Virus That Has Possible Tie-Up \Vith Polio

By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.D. A NEW type of virus has attracted much attention because of a possible tie-up with the virus of poliomyelitis. This is the recently discovered Coxsackie vims. A virus is a disease germ so small that It cannot be seen through an ordinary microscope, and passes through filters that catch most other organisms Poliomeylitis, measles, chickenpox and rabies are some of the diseases caused by different viruses. Found With Polio At first it was thought that Coxsackie viruses attacked only mice and hamsters. However, they are also found in the human body together with the virus of poliomyelitis, and it was once believed they might be the cause of that dread disease. Many doctors still are of the opinion that there may be some relationship between poliomyelitis and the Coxsackie viruses. We have now had time to observe many patients affected with this type of virus, and they have led us to believe that it causes several disorders less serious than poliomyelitis. For example, a Coxsackie infection will usually produce fever and fatigue which last Jor a few days. It may also appear as a painful infection of the diaphragm, the muscular sheet separating the chest and ab-

Wisconsin. Arkansas thay also have a presidential primary if a candidate requests this of the party managers. Harold E. Stassen has already filed such a request, so that state may be added 4 n the list, Indiana delegates will o :lectid in state conventions.

Such is the depressed feeling in his community with the death of 1 the lovable Rosemary Hetrick, talented student and charming young lady of this city, who lost in her fight against a brain malady. Weakenfd by intense suffering and the added strain of majot .surgery, r- Miss Hetrick could not throw off the illness which struck her three weeks Ago. In the bloom of youth, with a promising Ahead of her, she answered the eW of her Maker. This newspaper appreciates that the young lady’s parents are crushed with griief And we kindly ask them to accept our heartfelt sympathy in their hour of sorrow. \0 * I Ringing Words: — Few phrases ring through history with the sound and grander of the words of Patrick Henry,c “Give me liberty or give rife death.” , They are familiar to every American and most school children can quote them and give tbe source. - Yet when Patrick Henry uttered them, on Mafch 23. 1775, they were startling to all who heard them. They rang out in St. John’s Episcopal Church in Richmond, Va., where the Provincial convention pat in session. Patrick Henry had long been an apostle of independence. Ten years earlier he fiad reminded the English king that Caesar had had ’ his Brutus and r Charles 1 his -Cromwell. When hie added “and George the Third-]-” shouts \pf “treason” interrupted him. He waited for the shews toidie and j’m’y tint v >ed his “and V ’ ’■ y / 7 by V ■’ e;’ “it this be tr j-'ri nt ’< .* t ' rs T•. y. ars D2c’araticn of Independence he : stated before the Virginia convention. “I ?m rid’ a Vi:gini|ip, bu‘ an American.” Today when So many '.t ' ade - ailcir »> e‘J/nj’i m *oJcverstiadcw the welfare of it is well to notie those words. -

domen. The infected person has a fever and severe on breathing. a: Another traceable to this virus is the type bt sore throat known as herpangina. In this condition, the membranes of the throat have ma ny sinall blisters, each with a red ting around it. Further research Is needed to learn exactly what diseases are caused by the Coxsackie virus and the treatment for them, as well as the relationship of this Virus to poliomyelitis. { ‘ \ QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS McG.: What is bursitis and what causes it? How can it be cured? » Answer: Bursitis is an Inflammation ofja fluidfsecretlng sac found around the ■joints.hlt may follow an Injury or just occur spontaneously. It usually causes severe pain on moving the limb affected, and the limb is usually tender over the j area where the bursitis is present ; Applications of ice-packs during the first few days of pain may be of some help in relieving the symptoms of bursitis. Later, heat may be of help. Sometimes, the local injection of the bursa with novocaine is also of some value. It may be necessary to resort to surgery in those oases not responding to the above types of treatment. I

Is it proper for a girl’s father to ask his prospective son-in-law how much monejy he makes? A.

CHAPTER THIRTY-NINE BEN CERLA sat at the transmitting apparatus, earphones on nis head Leaning over him was the elusive Goldy. Ceria was sending a code signal, stopped every tew seconds, wiped his brow with the back ot his hand. "Looks tike they haven’t got through to their contact yet,'t Lid\dell whispered.* “Let s take them!" He pushed the door wider, slid through. Herlehy followed. At the transmitter. Ceria was sending his code signal frantically. Liddell started toward the apparatus, gun tn hand, when he felt the snout ot a revolver poked tn his oack. He whirled, gun at ready, to stare down the barrel ot a .45. Behind him. Herlehy stood also looking into the barrel of a .45. The two hard-eyed men ’behind K \the .45s relieved Liddell and the inspector of their guns. At the sending appartus. Ceria stiffened, exclaimed aloud. He bent over it, answered the chatter of the receiver with a flood of code. The receiver chattered back, Ceria relaxed. "I’ve gotten through." He looked up at Goldy From the corner of his eye, he caught sight of LiddeU. The look of surprise was frozen on his face when Goldy lifted her arm, there was a flash ot metal and Ceria toppled from the chair as she brought the bar rel of her gun down on his head. \ The man behind Liddell hurried forward, slid into Ceria's seat, adjusted the earphones, took over the sending apparatus. Goldy covered Liddell with an ugly, short barreled .38. - - » LiddeU estimated his chances for getting through long enough to smash the sending set, was deterred by the steadiness of Goldy’s arm. After a moment the receiving unit started to chatter wildly. The man at the short wave set an-

The man at the sending set got up fjrom his chair, slipped off Ceria's earphones. Then, pulling out ms gun. he set about smashing the instruments. } ' "Get the whole message through?" Goldy asked. Th|e man at the set nodded. "The whole tiling. They even had me repeat to make sure they got the formula right “ He picked up a piece ot paper he had made a series ot notes on. "Got a lot of instructions to be passed along to key agents throughout the country, too. Names, places, assignments." For a moment, Goldy turned her attention from Liddell. He started a jump for her, was knocked off balance by the man guarding Herlehy. "Get him, Herlehy,’’ Liddell shouted. “You heard them. They were sending secret information and formulas abroad. They’re spies;" Goldy laughed nasally. "That’s right, Inspector. We were sending out the formula for a new bomb.” She threw back her head, laughed loudly. “I nope when they put it together they’re in the middle of the desert. We forgot to tell them that there’s no way to keep if from going off once it’s assembled.” Liddell stared the transferred his gaie to the man at the sending set "what is this?” "A trap, Liddell," the man told him. "A trap for a gang of espionage and terrorist agents working in this country." He fished into an inside pocket brought out a leather folder, flipped it open, revealed a Treasury department badge. "I’m attached to the counter-espionage division of the Secret Service. So’s he,” he nodded to the man standing beside Herlehy. "But her—she’s a spy. She was 'Tj f■' <

To many of us “old timers” who have been interested in conservation and restoration of wildlife for many years, your letter was just lijce a shot ini the arm. Rest assured the answer to thri two questions you asked is a most emphatic YES. Last fall at the state conservation meeting the chief topic of discussion led by leaders of the state conservation department was “Accent on youth.*’ Henry W. Moesch, Jr., head of the educational department, in a recent article in Outdoor Indiana wrote “Now, while we are still r nation rich in resources, is the time to train our boys and girls. Steps should be taken to see that conservation of our land, of our water, of our forest areas, and of

behind the whole thing,” LiddeU pointed to Goldy. “Not the way you think, Liddell,” the T-man told him. "She’s been working with us ever since this thing started. She was the one that sicked Treasury on Brin and Ceria for shaking down the Chinese.” LiddeU growled under his breath. "Then why didn't you move in on them and knock them off?” "Impatient, ain’t he?” Goldy grinned. The T-man shrugged. "We found they were engaged in a lot worse than shaking doWn Chinese. Espionage.” Liddell smote his head with the flat of his hand, groaned. "Then she was working with Hong, She didn’t kill him?” Goldy shook her head. "Kill that little guy? I could tear the rat that did it apart with my hands,” she growled nasally. “For a little old guy he had more cold nerve than anybody ten times bis size I ever seen.” H I ' i The T-man nodded. "He got the gang’s code. That was what he left for us in the package in your offiqg. But we couldn’t use it until now.** ! "WJiy not?” LiddeU growled. Goldy stirred the unconscious body of Ceria. "We had the code, but we didn’t, have the password. We needed one of these rats to set up contact with the scum he’s beenworking for."; LiddeU groaned. “You guys gotta work along with me and kbep this under your bats. If this ever gets out, L • . »” ■ _ -1 From the outside corridor came a hooting laugh. "This I wouldn’t have misfied for the world! Johnny Liddell arrests the Coupter-Espio-Service for espionage. What a story! And the Advance has got it exclusive!” It was Muggsy Kiely’s voice. (To Be Continued}

wild animals and birds should he Included in our educational system. The accent in conservation education must be on youth.” ; Our country conservation clubs can do a worthy service for the present generation and future generations of youth by ’{teaching conservation to the best of their ability now. The project the Decatur conservation club is carrying out-at the Krick-Tyndall ponds is principally for the youth of Decatur, to provide good fishing waters arid provide a place where the Wholesome great out of doors can be enjoyedTo the Krick-Tyndall Co. Who arie cooperating with the club, Deitiatur parents and local conservationists owe a great debt bjf gratitude. • The club has great plans and if it receives sufficient support from the -public, can and will do much for the youth of Decatur. I ? One way you boys can help, is to use ybur influence on “Dad” apd see that he becomes a member of a conservation club. Come out and help when members are wdrking out at the ponds. No doubt the Decatur club will take up the matter of a Junior Conservation Club at its next nieetlng. If a large enough number of boys show a real interest id having such a club—a club you shall have. ' Yours for more conservation, ‘ C. W. Knapp, county representative, Adams county consevation clubs.
