i_ j i I New Drugs Help Check Malaria|

1 By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M£. | MALARIA was once fairly com* mon in this country. Nowadays | ■ it is rarely seen unless brought in | from other parts of the world. ; i This is a real dividend in- good j health for the .people In the r United States. It is due to modern | scientific methods, as well as good p public health measures to control ! the malaria disease and the mos* I quitoes that carry it. | ’ Wle know how malaria is spfead. I Malaria parasites are, given to | the human body by a type of mos--1 quito known as the anopheles. I The parasite gets into the human L blood When an Infected mpsquiU) i f bites a person who is susceptible * I to the Infection. Chills and Fever ; The parasites\ then multiply in s the human blood and biood- - I forming organs In' great quantity, I and as they reproduce they cause £ chills and high fever. These at- | tacks usually occur every 24, 48, or 72 hours, depending on. the | type of malaria, continuing until I the condition is cleared up. Usually the fever goes up tp 105 degrees and even higher, and the f chills are so severe that,the bed I actually shakes. Certain types of v | malaria also bring almost uncon* t trollable pain in the back, arms and legs. ? Symptoms Suppressed I When the troops of the MB. Army go overseas to malaria countries like Korea, they jare I given a drug known as chioro- | quine to check malaria

This drug Is excellent for suppressing the riialaria symptoms—the chills, fever, better than quinine. However, it does not prevent an attack from occurring on£e the i troops are brought back to this Country and the chloroquine Is stopped. H For this reason; many soldiers returning from Korea developed severe cases o% malaria after they were home. They had .been in-t fected in Korea, but while in that country the infection Which developed there was controlled by the chloroquine. New Drug Effective A new drug, known as primaquine, has Shown promise 3 knocking out tthis type of recurring xhalaria and Is mote effective than Chloroquine. When patients were treated witfe chlordquine, as , high as 30 per cent had relapses. : With primaquine, the numbet was cut down to one per cent. > Primaquine is also very safe, ■ .without any toxic reactions. Usu--1 ally a combined treatment with •chloroquine and primaquine will I eliminate the infection without : recurrence bfctter than when I either Is used alone. ■ QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS R. TA Do x-ray treatments ' help In the treatment Os acne? : Answer: Many types of acne are helped; by x-ray treatments.~How« . ever, whether |ny particular type i can be helped depends upon the : severity of the acnp and whether ■ or not It is responsive to the ..x-rays. .

CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE < JOHN WENDELJL was aware of the sound of singing coming through the open window but for a while It was only an accompaniment to his swiftly moving thoughts. Then, suddenly, he put down his pencil, listened. Nell Brent, at the house across the road. He appreciated how hard Mrs. Peely was working over her part of the Commemoration Service, but he had dropped in on the rehearsals often enough, and knew enough about music, to realize that Nell Brent, with her true ear, 1 well might find the uncertain pitching of the other voices a little trying. “If she sang that soprano part solo—one voice would be more effective anyway.” Then he had spoken of a hymn he thought would be very fitting in the service. “Spirit divine, attend our prayers, and make this house Thy home.”; “You mean—Nell Brent sing that alone, too?” “Yes.” Mrs. Peely had looked a littl£ troubled, he remembered. But then she had nodded her head. “It’d be lovely! And it might get her to going to church again.” He had not thought of that possibility and he doubted it now. To be “starred,” as it were, in Mrs. Feely’s off music probably appealed to the Idrl’s sense of importance, but It not likely to stir in her any desire to go to church. He had thought more than once, since that day at Father Duffy’s, of his ohe “stray’ lamb," but- each time he had come up against the fact that he did not know how to bring this particular lamb back into the told. Nell was singing the hymn now; dragging it a little, perhaps because of unfamiliarity with iL Peely was dragging the accompaniment, too. After a moment he sprang to his feet "That won’t do!” He hurried out through the door to go over to the other house. He saw a girl standing in the deep shadow of the big maple in front of the Peely house but, such was his rush, he did not recognize her as Susan Brent until he was fairly upon her. "Susan!” His deep pleasure tn the unexpected encounter shook his voice ‘ She wheeled around. “Oh!" She brought it out on a quick-drawn breath. She caught her hands together. "I—l heard Nell practicing—l was walking past—l’d gone to Higgins’ and I came around this way—l stopped just a minute to listen; . . .” She moved to go on. *But I must get home!" "Don’t,** he begged. "I haven’t seen you since that afternoon at your Aunt Debbie s."

For the first time since she had been nipeting Tony at the appointed place near the bridge, Nell was a few minutes late In arriving there, the afternoon of the nekt day. She was out of breath, too, and warm, from hurrying. It was Susan’s fault—Susan had come into the kitchen just sha was wrapping sandwiches and said a few things which she had had to answer and it all had de; layed her.

Surrenders To Police For Murdering Wife SOUTH BEND, Ind. UP — Thad Brown, 37,; was held today on a charge of investigation of murder after he surrendered to police and announced he had killed/ his wife: The body of -Mrs. Grace Brown. 33, was found bludgeoned in a bedroom of their one-story home.

And their hours ahead . . . ; They had been going up to the Old HurreU house almost every afternoon. They had opened windows, dusted the furniture, even rearranged some of it, cleared the kitchen a little, daring more each time they were there. Oh, it was fun. Sometimes Tony was simply cjownish, making her laugh until -it hurt. He had a talent for mimicry.

Factory Wages At An All-Time High f Industrial Output On Steady Increase WASHINGTON UP — Federal reserve board statistics shoWei today that of American fach tory workers 'nit an all-time high in December ajnd that the nation’s’ industrial output has risen steadily for straight months. Factory workers averaged a record $1.73 per hour and $72.36 per week in their December pay envelopes. The average worker pßf in more hours pn the job per week during Deceinber than in any month since World War II —41.8 hours. \ Sie monthly average jot civilian loyment last yqar was another Hail-time high -— 6J;3 million jobs — and unemployment was low:.’ Industrial production climbed to a record J 35 per cent above the 1935-39 average and there was a “small further rise” in January, according to the board s monthly I summary of business Conditions.” ,;i ' The government’s economic analysts would not proniise, however, that- January statistics for Workers’ earnings would show a similar rise. ' / Prices, meanwhile, wdre falling. The labor department's controversial cost-of-living index slipped in December by 2-10 of one per cent from the record it set in November. The board said the decrease stemmed from falling meat and other food prices, \ and wad partly offset by climbing rents, mariy of which were recently freed fropi federal control. Consumers took their record earnings during . December and plunked them on the counter for a record $16.9 billion worth of retail goods, makihg Christmas 1952 “the grand-daddy of theih all” in the words of one Washington analyst. Retail sales have rarely been better. There aye no figures yet for January, but the statisticians think they may show a decrease which' was slightly larger than normal. \.J I -U' 1 ( .. .. < I > New Eighth Army Leader In Korea > Van Fleet Successor Arrives .In Korea SEOUL.

Earlier todpiy Taylor called on South Korean ‘President Syngman Rhee and received a key to. the city of Seoul dft a public ceremony. Then the famed “parachute gen- i eral” of World War II held a brief press conference. He was reluctant to comment on the war situation before making a thorough inspection of the front and rear areas With Van Fleet, who retires March 31, but he did say he thought the American public would support any moves made by the new U.
