If George Washington could return for a visit to the capital named for him, his greatest surprise - might be seeing the vast number of people employed to run the government which Ire established. 0 0- I 1 The Egyptian government evidently is fed up with of maintaining former Farouk’s lavish palace and will admit tourists at $2.87 per head. The government also has a ritzy idea about tourists. —0- 0 Speeches and statements issued by government leaders in Washington differ in tone from those issued during the campaign. Now the newly elected fenders have the responsibility of government and charges hurled at those who were executing similar duties last year Indicate that it to criticize than to do the work. These \ leaders now tell the Country that the situation is critical and that they are doing the best they can to solve the problems. » ■ -, It seems that the most effort and heaviest lobbying in Washing- v ton is being exerted tot tax. reduction and the tidelands oil bill, j Congress should go ahead and ; pass both of these bills apd let the country see what President Elsenhower will do \in approving 'or vetoing the measures.

Case at Gout Is Sometimes i Very Difficult to Diagnose \

By HERMAN N. BUNMSEN, M.B. THANKS to modern science, our increased knowledge about gout find related conditions gives a more hopeful outlook for those troubled with this disease. Unfortunately, this increased knowledge has, also complicated the. picture somewhat. it has been said that out of every four cases of true gout, only one is correctly diagnoses In the early stages because of the lack of definite symptoms. A case of gout tan# on occasion, go for twenty 1 years without the correct diagnosis being made. ' - Net Limited to Bftb According to the old idea, gdut P was usually expected to occur in the big toe of a wen-to-do person used to dining on rich foods like lobster, fowl and wines. But for some time now it has been recognized that frugal people and even the undernourished are also Effected with gout. ' We know that gout is associated ' with an excess of uric acid in the blood, And this condition has a tendency to run in families. Certain foods also tend to cause ah attack, and this is the grain of truth in the rich food story. Foods that are particularly guilty ars those which produce excess uric" acid, such as lobster, turkey, venison, game birds, kidney, fiver, brains and alcoholic beverage*. Other Joints Affected The joint affected heed not necessarily be the big toe. Ankles and finger joints sometimes de- ■ vglop sevete swelling, in any case, thd joint M extremely painful, tender and s#dltefi, the skin usually becorpl'r.g shiny and reddishpurple. The person alto funs a high fenfperature, from 103 to 104 degrees, and has a high white blood count.

ing assure the public that the buildtag will be designed largely for yputh activities. ——o 0 -s. ' . I 6. Gov. Craig has signed a resolution passed by the state legislature falling on congress to end federal aid to schools. While 1 people are opposed to federal aid the school system, many see a between making - grants! for buildings and even for the lunch programs that are carried on with success in many schools. Iff a community does not want (he federal government to construct ‘lts school it does not have to apply for a grant, so it appears that the Indiana resolution is alntast a useless piece of paper. s—o$ —o The serious illness of HOrrtan H. Krueckeberg, cashier of the First State Bank has caused widespread alarm and of eburse great concern aftiong the people in this community. The latest report from his bedside is that he is putting up a good battle-and is making headway against the complicar tions which developed following surgery performed the first of the week.

Most often the attacks occur at! night, and are more frequent k the spring or fall. An attack may subside in a day or so, and the joint seems to return to normal. Gout was once thought to occur \ only in inert, but women may have it, too. Usually it is seen In women who have passed the change of life, or menopause. May Resemble Arthritis In some cases, the joints may become so deformed with gout that they resemble rheumatic Arthritis. Small yellow spots may also appear in the ear lobes if a case is severe. These are deposits of uric acid salts under the skin. To detect the presence of gout, the doctor can make a blood test which determines the amount of ffric arid in the blood. However, 1 this is only true in an acute attack. ! \ Iff treating gout, a drug known as colchicine has proven very es- 1 festive. Cortisone has also worked well In suppressing attacks. A person with gout, if put on a ~ proper diet, can usually control his attacks, With the use of cortisone, in most cases lie heed no longer suffer the pains of this disease. QUESTION AND ANSWER ' \P.

tnat it was not] the household tasks she had hfid to take over from Susan that depressed her. Nor was it the tdeling of sortie change htrging over the house, suggested by Susan’s troubled face, by her father's preoccupation when he was home —these last few weeks he had had nothing to say When she came in late for supper. Perversely, she had missed it—it! took something away from being with Tony, left her a little flattened. She knew it was because things were bad fit the plant but she Was too engrossed in Nell Brent to share Susan’s worry or feel concern for her father. ' She missed going to thp old house on the hill —rtiissed it terribly. Oh, Tony was darling, but it wasn’t the same, driving around. . . . She never felt now, after she had been with Tony, as if she were living in the clouds; nbr, on. her bed, her lights Out, could she bring him close as she always had before. • “I’ll go to you whdrever you are” had lost something of its music. Tony had not taken a job with Petersen’s—“ Tie up With an Y eight-hour day? Not me”—but he never said Anything now about going away. \ Rather he appeared satisfied with things as they Were. "And I’m just stuck here,” thought Nell, now. With the Ironing and the dishwashing, the sweeping and dusting . | Tony had told her be couM not meet her today—he had to teke his mother to Canaan to look at some old stove that was advertised for sale. Long empty hours stretched ahead of her. }Back, before everything was different, she had never minded being alone, but this morning, the house Was Intolerably quiet, empty.
