U . - Antibiotics Have Tendency To \ Destroy Some Useful Bacteria

| By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.D. i. men) have learned to grow many iiseful plants, but some of qur .most Important ones grow right in the body without our knowing it. These are certain i bacteria which grow in the intes- , tinal tract. I Antibiotic drugs, taken to kill disease bacteria, may also kill these useful' ones, with distressing results. When the intestine is left without the normal number of these bacteria, which sary to keep it in good health, it cannot produce proper bowel movements. . . I Overgrowth of “Weeds” I A healthy growth of Useful bacjteria also helps,keep out undesirable organisms, tiny plants similar to fungi and yeasts, which can Ibe compared to weeds in the injtestines. It is a fact that by killing off the useful bacteria, antibiotics may actually lead to an overgrowth of the “weeds,” which may . then cause an intestinal infection. 1J The organisms that most often .give trouble are named monilia. (These are the germs which cause the disease known. as thrush. (They may also bring on a persisti ient diarrhea, with’severe itching - 'around the rectum and reproducitiveuargans. Whenever an antibiotic causes > a condition of this sort, the drug ! should be stopped as soon as pos- | sible —or as soon as the patient's 1 condition permits. Even after the ; drug is stopped, however, the paj tlent may continue to have diar-

rhea, itching, and other distress for many months. I In the case of an infection from an overgrowth of the fungi and yeasts, several things can be done, with more or less success, one is to Inject heavy doses of vitamin B-complex into a muscle or vein. Other Remedies Certain drugs have also proved valuable at times, such as potassium -iodide arid parahydroxybenzoic acid. Sometimes the itching is relieved by painting the > area with the dye known as gentianvyiolet. The unwelcome bacteria sometimes get quite a foothold, however, and it may be necessary tg continue these treatments for many months. < Recently, it has been : found that drinking acidophilus milk, which contains a large number of bacteria, will help to replace some of the normal bdeteria of the intestine. This product tastes like buttermilk, and is sold by most of the larger dairies. AND ANSWERS R. A;: I have been tqld I have a heart block. What causes this and what can be done for it? Answer: A heart block Is caused by some damage to the j heart muscle which conducts the contracting impulses of the heart. In - most cases it follows a heart attack or some form of clotting of the blood in thp blood vessels supplying the heart. Usually, the damage is permanent. However, many people have heart blocks for many years without having any great difficulty.

When you are going to have a very] large number of guests as a bridal shower, is it all right to stipulate “linen” to some of them, “kitchen” to others, and perhaps “lingerie” tp others?' A. No; it is best just to call it a “bridal shower,”- and allow the guests to choose what they please. Q. When does the bride’s mother take her seat at the church? A. She is the last guest to be admitted to the church, for when she retches the front left pew it is the. signal that the bride will lie there momentarily. ‘ (J. Is it permissible to sip water while <me.has food in one's mouth? A. This is considered very bad manners. Deer Proves Tough ROWfc. Mass. UP — Robert lb.

The stars were full and bright, numerous beyond counting, and the night wind was gentle With just a touch of chilL “It’s lovely... all this,” Rennie whispered. “Yes,” he said and something In his Voice brought her around, startled. They stood close, looking at lone another. The world had become beautiful and wonderful once again. Early the next morning, Blaise and Hal-rode away from Las Montanas. They cUt off the main trail and toqk a direct route to the rancho. It led through the heart of the burned land and black ash rolled up in choking clouds. Blaise pulled his neckerchief up over his mouth and nose, his hat brim 10w. It was with a feeling of relief that Blaise topped the last ridge and looked down the blackened slope to his ranch. He instantly saw the saddled horse, ground hitched by the bunkhouse door. “Visit ur,” he said, jerking down the neckerchief. Hal fell in.bejhind Blaise as they worked down ; the slope. They passed the charred remains of the house arid had just reined in when the bunkhouse door opened and Slim Sterling stepped out. His jaw dropped when he saw Blaise and Hall “What’s happened?”

"The jasper who did it ought to be burnep - himself!” , "We’ll get around to it,” Blaise said. "But first we’ve got this place to 'straighten up." They picketed the horses and started tjo work. By high noon, ■the building was at least livable and clean. Slim cooked dinner and they ate it in the shadow of the bunkhouse.

"I’ve got two jobs—just two. I’m going to ranch and I’m going to find out who killed Chavez.” Slim “spoke without Idoking up. "One’s hard enough with Leonis against you. Whyn’t you forget the other?

"Need help against Leonis?” he asked. Blaise laughed. “Plenty of it, and I need good neighbors." “I believe I will! Won’t hurt nothing. I’ll ride out come morning.” "No hurry,” Blaise said. After a moment’s silence, he asked, "What do you know about Mark Davis, Slim?” Slim looked hard at Blaise, then shrugged and studied the distant Valley again. “You knew him, Blaise.” I "Ten years ago. What about now ?” “Oh, about the same. He’d rather make ten dollars tomorrow swinging a close deal than a mansized dollar today where he stood up and was counted.” "Is he buying up land?” "He’s a farmer!” Slim said flatly and Blaise let the matter drop.

Blaise turned, back to the house where Hal leaned in the He watched Slim ride down the slope and finally drop from sight beyond the canyon. “Slim’s boys,” he said. “Las Montanas, you and me. it’s stacking up-against Scorpion." “It’s time,” Blaise said grimly. “We’ll ride to Calabasas tomorrow; we’ve got to get more supplies.” Hal’s brows shot up. "Looking for trouble?" \ ! “Not exactly, but we won’t run off if it comes. Calabasas is the closest town to get lumber and materials and other supplies. I also want Leonis to know we’re still around.” v They entered the store. The aproned owner stood by as a customer inspected a rifle. Both men looked up, surprise blanking their faces. Blaise looked closely 1 at the man with the rifle, his right hand resting lightly on his hipi above his holster. The man hastily shoved the weapon at the storekeeper. “I—un, I’ll—maybe buy it later." He moved sWiftly down the aisle and hastened outside. The storekeeper gingerly placed the rifle in the fhcPc “Bullets”, Blaise said. “Fortyfive caliber.” "You’re Randell?” “That’s right.

Hal remained by the tree, perfectly at ease. Three men stood on the porch, afraid to move. Blaise looked them over, contemptuously. "Scorpion riders?” he asked. All three shook their heads. Blaise grunted. “Same breed of rat then.” 1 \ ; He stepped off the porch and joined Hal, passing him some of] the cartridges.

Says Nationalists Could Block China Military Mission Head Gives Report TAIPEH, Formosa, UP —- Maj. Gen. William Chase, head of the U.S. military mission in Formosa, said today the Chinese Nationalists could mount a complete blockade of The China mainland within one hour’s tinje. Chase said the training program for Generalissimo Chiang KaiShek’s forces has made such progress they not only could smash any Communist invasion attempt but could clamp down a' blockade from Swatbw on: th6 south to the Chusan Islands on the north. So far, he said, United States has sent nearly 806 officers and men to Formosa io whip the Nationalist forces into shape. The full complement of American specialists will be here before Sept. 1. ' Chase agajn emphasized as he has in the past that the nationalists’ morale is high and that they are, carying out to the smallest detail new techniques of operation. Size of Chiang’s forces is a matter of security ahd no official figures are available. Greatest emphasis is on an intense program for coordinated operations by land, air and sea forces^—“That’s the main point on which we are concentrating at this time,” hq said. , Chase said he was not satisfied ; with the \flow of American equipment, especially J big guns and , tanks,, but said he realized Ameri-\ - can global commitments must be taken into consideration. The growing strength of the Nationalists recently hap been recog- ’ nized by Adm. Williain M. Fechteli er chief of U. S. Naval operations , who spent tWb days here recent t ly, and by other American military 7 leaders. \ ? 7 I, • ■ j! New Wage Board To Take Over Duties Authority Lacked By Revised Board /WASHINGTON, UP — A new -power-stripped wage stabilization board takes over,, the job today of trying to control wages amid warnings from labor that it was in for a stormy future. The revised board, lacking authority to handle labor, disputes or any non-economic issues such as the union shop, was ready to go as soon as President Truman appointed the members. The President w-as reported to encountered difficulty in lining up “public” members to serve on the new boardy-partially because of the shbrt tenure of the wage control program &nd also because qf the criticism: heaped on the old board. An inforin.ed source, said, however, 1 that the White House expected to nanje “at least a quorum” today to get the off on schedule. : \ Industry members, who shed no tears when the old board's powers were: restricted, were ready to serve on. the new board. Labor, swallowing earlier hints that it might boycott the new board, was ready, to along, if grudgingly. CIO President Murray wrote Mr. Truman asking him to reappoint CIO representatives ’from the old board but made clear that he was unhappy about the new Set tip. But he told Mrt Truman his union would serve because “you have asked our cooperation in the national interest. We are confident that mobilization officials will do their best to insure justice and fairness for the wage earners of the nation.” I__—■■■■■ : [.v

'Cooks' Corner' =-\ * 0 By Mary 11. Gambling In Home Canning ‘ Doesn’t Pay Gambling in home canning doesn’t pay. Any housewife who is going to the trouble and time of canning should make sure that all equipment is in the best condition that the food used is fresh and of good quality and that the most up-to-date methods are followed. J’he pressure cooker is recom- ; mended for non acid vegetables and meats. The boiling water bath is recommended for fruits and tomatoes. Oven canning is impossible with tin cans and not safe with glass jars for more than one reason. Evan though oven temperature goes to 250.°F. or higher, food inside the jars stop at boiling 212 ”F. Moreover, this method has caused serious burns and cuts. Jars in an oven may burst, blowing out the oven door. Housewives sbmet i m e s are tempted to save a penny’here and there by using imperfect jars and lids. That’s hazardous. Any jar with the slightest crack or chip should be discarded because these defects may prevent an airtight seal and thus lead to spoilage. The same is true of lids with dented or : spread edge or masoiiry-type caps with loose or cracked linings. | 'the flat lids of metal closures canpot be re-used so should be discarded when the jar of food is opened; Generally it is the safest to buy these lids new each year, even if some unused are left from tlje year before. The pressure gauge of th© canner should be checked for accuracy each year. Your home demon? stration hgent can perform this service for you. Canning cannot improve . any food so putting up poor quality food doesn’t pay. Use only fresh, firm fruits and tender. vegetables. Can them as sbon after harvest as possible. _ \ . ' —-—— !
