The army should move the neW - atomic cannon from Frenchman Flat to Korea. 0 0 With so much ado over the budget and reduction of appropriations, an observer remarked, “The government’s found a new way to save money; they're using mine”. -t 0 0 The House appropriations committee is picayune in its slashing of funds.for worthy purposes. It sliced off ten million dollars from President Eisenhower’s request for federal aid to hospitals, allowing only 50 million for the whole country. It would have been more prudent to have trimmed appropriations for some of the office expense in Washington. 0- o Clean-up week will be inaugurated next Monday and city workmen will declare war on dirt and ■rubbish.

Wide differences separate the administration leaders and so far they have not hit on anything that helps business, employment, the farmer or the cause of peace. Mr. Eisenhower is an idealist and - views the nation as one people, the game of politics being foreign to his make np. - - 0 o After a trial of the plan, the state board of corrections has decided to employ 600 trusties from the Indiana prison and reformatory in state parks.

-■j 5 - New Preparation Under Study To Treat Ulcerative CcJitis

ty HEIMAN tt. BUNDESEN, M.D. OFTEN the doctor can treat and cure a disease even though he may not know exactly what Causes It. New drugs and new uses for older drugs are giving us new leads every day towards better control of some of these medical mysteries. One of these is ulcerative colitis, long one of the most difficult and disappointing diseases to treat. In this disease, an inflammation of the large Intestine produces diarrhea and bleeding. Sometimes these become so great that they are most difficult to stop and the person is doomed to a life of chronic invalidism. Possible Neurotic Cause Many doctors believe that the disease is due to a form of neurosis or nervousness and that psychiatric treatment can help. But the exact cause for the disturbance is unknown. Many physicians are now taking a radical viewpoint towards ulcerative colitis cases, because of the increased frequency with which cancer develops as a result of this disease. They are recommending that in some cases the entire large intestine be removed as well as the rectum, and that the person be trained to move his bowels through an opening in the abdomen. Encouraging Results A new drug, salicylazosulfapyridine, has also been used in treating this disease, and investigators have reported encouraging results with it in certain cases.

game reserve to paint buildings, build bird pens and do reforest work. This is the first time that prisoners have been employed in such tasks. There is much idleness behind prison walls and the plan of giving the men some work, should encourage them to go straight. An idle mind is the devil’s workshop, according to an old adage, so, let's try the plan as a step in human rehabilitation. J—A— _o Two air force captains want to return to Korea and teach combat fliers how to operate the jets that down the MlGs. Captains Joseph McConnell and Manuel J. Fernandez, aces of the Korean w’ar, were grounded after completing their missions and returned to Washington. i They will confer with President Eisenhower today about going back to Korea, but probably will be told tiat their job is to teach young men in this country. Once the combat flying bug gets in the blood, few of the veteran pilots desire to return to normal pursuits. The Country is proud of these men and their achievements. It’s regrettable that even a “few” people resort to vandalism as they visit our parks. A writer for the Saturday I Evening Post indicts a “selfish few Americans seem bent oh ruining our precious -j national parks”. He cites many instances of damage to property and park grounds in the nation's forests and stenic wonderlands. In majestic Yellowstone ’ park, thoughtless persons even plugged minor geyserd and become so careless with waste paper that it cost the park system $228 a day to clear the litter. ’Frequently, vandals destroy public property around here. It is difficult to understand what (makes a person so hateful as to io out of his road to deface or property. Fortunately, most people resent this destructive attitude and are champions of our parks and aid in their development.

Usually, if a large dose is given the patient responds promptlj with a reduction of fever and diarrhea, and disappearance ol abdominal pains. Along with the drug, the patient must follow a bland diet—that is, a diet without spicy or irritating foods. Usually, the 061*800 also takes some vitamins and antispasmodic drugs. " I Some patients develop headache, nausea and pains in the joints as effects of this medlci-V. In those who can tolerate it, how'* evfer,. the treatment has greatly reduced recurrences of colitis attacks. Medical research is now under way to perfect this new drug and remove its undesirable side effects so more people will be able to tolerate It. Os course, the doctor will decide in which cases this new preparation should be used, but it Is hoped that it will help control this most troublesome disease. QUESTION AND ANSWER R. B: When 1 wake up in the morning, my fourth and fifth fingers are pushed all the way down, and it Is hard fori me to bring them back to their normal position. This is becoming progressively worse. What ean I do? Answer: You ma# be suffering' from a disease known as Dupuytren’s contracture. It is due to an inflammation and hardening of the connective tissue of the palm of the hand, causing a contraction of the muscles. Surgery is sometimes of great help in relieving this condition.
