Attack of Pneumonia May Follow Kerosene Poisoning

By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.D. : WITH the cold weather, mani people will he using kerosene., stoves for heating. This calls for extra care to make sure the stove is in good working condition before installing it, especially to aee that it has no leaks. Makeshift cupfc and pans to catch kerosene from leaky stoves have tod often led to poisoning for both children and adults. I ■ . ‘‘i Kerosene Pneumonia j Many cases are reported every; year of kerosene pneumonia after a curious child has swallowed the fuel. \ Usually a child who swallows; kerosene has a sudden attack of coughing, then begins to gag and actually strangle. Since kerosene does not evaporate very readily, it is very difficult to cough «P once it is absorbed into the lungs.* However, many of these children; will vomit or cough up some of the kerosene. If the kerosene Is absorbed Into; the system, it may cause drowsiness, stupor, or even convulsions.: ft also has a poisonous effect on the brain. Usually there is a fevefe and the kidneys may even be lns volved, with blood, albumin, anti sugar In the urine. • G Treatment Given A' person with kerosene poisoning should be put in the hospital immediately. There his stomach, will be washed out with a stomach pump, and he will be given strong enemas and laxatives. \ He will becM-efully watched for any signs ofpneumonia which can develop four to five days after

The hospitil is crowdjed with patients, which fget becomes news worthy. The ajere listing of a patient’s \name Ist news to many readers. The hospital staff;, although working long hours .and operating under abnormal conditions' during the current epidemic of illness, cooperates fully by relaying these items to this newspaper for your perusal! We thank all concerned for this cooperation. o Uj, • Science Lag\— The National Science Foundation reports an alarming shortage of id this country and warns that,the,s tuption is not improving. y‘r'\ j\j The decline in the number of students preparing -for Careers in science may be explained in part by the fact that a ‘scientist nuist continue his formal studies ’sev-' oral years beyohd the earning of his undergraduate degree. While many of the young;.men who returned from World War II went back to complete .their college courses', few wanted To delay making a start Ln life by taking on postgraduate* work. ; \ When we entered World War 'll science in this coUntjy received a shot -in the arm. There was a need for new weapons, for quicker and easier ways to do thir|gs?Our best scientific, minds weri put to this task. Thd progress they made iwas ' 11 ill all th<\ result of basic research, much of -it done years before the war.

taking kerosene by accident Usu* ally X-rays will detect infection of the lungs. Penicillin, is usually given to the patient to prevent pndumonla. If the case is very severe, oxygen may be necessary. j \ Gould Be Prevehted This year, as every year, many children wUI be poisoned through the negligence of others—accidents which could be prevented. Even though most children do get well, many of them are sick for months or years because of kerosene poisoning. Anyone using kerosene ! for heating should remember .this and keep the fuel out of a child’s rqach, in a container plainly marked “Kerosene.” Andi check your fuel system for leakage before putting it into operation. • poisoning is not so very common, but just the same, j it Is too frequent.

i CHAPTER SIXTEEN JOHN WENDELL decided while he was shaving that the time had come to settle with Mrs. Donnell, once and for all, the matter at Mis having two eggs for breakfast. He had spoken of it, half Jokingly, but she had gone on giving him ohly one. ’ j-' “A woman knows more how to save," she had said. Well,\ if she looked upoh two eggs at breakfast as extravagance she could cut out those puddings she put before him at every noon and'evening meal. He whistled as he went dpwn the stairs, into the kitchen. "Good morning, Mrs. Donnell.” She was opening the rofrigcrator door. "Good morning,” she said without turning. John saw her take one egg front the box—a puHet’s egg, at that. , \ "Two eggs, Mrs. Donnell, if you please.” He put authority into his voice. She went to the stove, put the egg in water. "There won’t be enough to go the week.” "Get some more Now she turned, leveled a coldly disapproving look on him. “I’ve got to save somewhere to pay the electric bills with you burning the lights to all hours.” "Those puddings \ you mak e—may' 1 suggest that; you cut them out? They take eggs, don’t they?” “They fill you up cheaper than meat, now'that meat's-so high.” Plainly he was not getting anywhere. Suddenly he found her Implacability irritating, where before it had amused him. Fire, her? He’d like to on the instant, but he couldn’t, old as she was. She put the boiled egg down tn front of him, some toast and a cup of coffee, all without a word. "I brought some doughnuts in yesterday—l'll eat them with my coffee.” y She opened a cupboard, took out a paper bag, holding it between a thumb and forefinger, away from her. “I wondered how this got here. . . .” Disapproval of it was in her voice.

"Susan Brent made them-*s)ve had them at a little party at her aunt’s nouse, yesterday afternoon!’* Admiration for Susan’s accomplishments led him into explaining the doughnuts. He added, “They are very good. Sit down and eat one.”. Mrs. Donnell put the bag on the table in front of him, sat down across from him. But she did not move to eat a doughnut. She folded her hands "It isn’t my business to speak, maybe, Mr. Wendell, but you’re youhg and you’re new nere and a word of warning might be only Christian." “Warping?’* John put down the cup he had lifted. “Your running over to Deborah Brent’s. Maybe you don’t knbw, a stranger as ybu are, but (she’s never- been what she ought to be. And Susan's too nice a girl to get her talked about!” t Red ran up to John Wendell’s temples but he kept trip Rising anger, out of his voice. “In what way have I made Susan Brent a topic of gossip?” w “You had her here alone with

“1 don't think that is so." “Well, it’s the one that has supported me most of my life." She put her mixing spoon down on, the Stable. “Have you ever heard of Excelsior Bean Soup? Probably not, here in the East.” “Can’t say I have. What is it?" “It used to be called ’Debbie’s Special* by about a hundred lumberjacks around Twitchel in California.
