Overdose of Drugs Perilous ’

By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.D. THE intentional overloading of the body systems with drugs is an ever-growing hazard. knowledge, overdosages of certain drugs and medicines are taken by either children or adults. It is not uncommon to see a child who has taken an overdose of sleeping pills, barbiturates, or aspirin. There are also many, many persons who take overdoses o| medicines In suicidal attempts. There is great difficulty in treating those who accidentally take large amounts of these drugs. In some instances, the physician is quite helpless if too great ah amount is taken, especially ,ls too long a time has elapsed before the patient coinfes for help. / Until recently,, the theory oftreatment has been to maintain life until the body could fid itself of the.drug through normal processes. This sometimes takes weeks and the patient could hover between life and death for days. Artificial Kidney It was then discovered that an tastnnnent known** J.hsjirttfl- • : .'l' • ■ ' 4

shipped in railroad freight cars, the danger has not been removed, and trucks will be used to transport the explosives to factory or government arsenals. It’s doubtful if a ban on explosive shipments could foe enforced. ——o o The director of the division of hospitals and institutional services of the Indiana State Board of Health approves the general plans for enlarging and modernizing Adams bounty Memorial hospital. Dr. Matba O’Malley of the state board, Inspected the county hospital and also conferred with the trustees and local doctors. Her recommendations closely follow those that the board has in mind for making the hospital more servicable to the community. Aside from a school, what building is more widely used than a hospital? What service exceeds that of nurses and hospitals when people are ill? When new citizens of the community are brought into the world, a hospital becomes their first home. For these and other services to humanity, a hospital becomes closely related to every family and all effort should be made to Improve its facilities. ™ ’ o o— —— .Talks Speed:— Speakers at the meeting of the American automobile association predicted a continued rise in traffics injuries and fatalities unless something is done to curb automobile speeding. They raised a very important point worthy of the consideration of automobile ' manufacturers. With the speed limit fixed at 50 to 65 miles an hour in many states why do manufacturers continue to produce cars capable of going over 100 miles an hour? For emergency use an automobile needs more power than it does for the ordinary demands put on. its engine. But by placing the emphasis on the speed cars cab attain, motorists are inclined to step on the gas. v ll should be understood that speeding is not the only cause of automobile accidents and making it impossible for cars to go more . than the lawful limit would not eliminate accidents. Careless drivers may be as dangerous at 30 to 46 miles an hour. One of the speakers at >e AAA meeting called on automobile makers to pay more attention to safety features and less to good looks and The\ number of lives lost in. accidepts on our highways each year, dnd the tremendous property loss which results from suclt accidents is too high a price to pay for the privilege of boasting that a car will go a hundred mtfas an hour.

** <..f cial kidney, used to twat cases of, uremia, was effective In treating' some of these cases oi drug poisoning. It seems that drugs Such as the barbiturates or a.rpirin are not totally combined with the proteins of the body w.ken absorbed, and therefore can be readily eliminated by the ’ artificial kidney. 3 Recently, when this type cC kidney was used in patients si Offering from poisoning, they regained consciousness and improved in other ways very rapidly. It is a relatively safe method of treating these people. Up until a few years ago, the artificial kidney was still in the experimental stage, but with its usage becoming more and more common, it can eliminate many types of poisons from the blood and perhaps thwart man’s abuse of his health. QUESTION AND ANSWER Mr. C. J.: Can tattoos be removed in any way? Answer: A physician may remove tattoos by tattooing over them with a solution of tannic acid, or removing them by plastic ruTgsry. . \

CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE \ OUTSIDE the nouse a gun | sounded. The gun spoke out tn the yard. Godi Manning thought. bauraj Bave you got safa away, Lauraf 1 That gun was a waspish one, not deep throated .like a Colt or a Winchester. About .22 caliber. Manning judged. It sounded once, it sounded again; ■ and tt was hard to place the sound, though it seemed to come trom behind the house. Gal? But ne’d flung Gal’s gun away, and it had been a fortyflve at that. Then he understood, tor ne’d sensed that first day •in the basin that Gal earned a hideout gun; but ne’d forgotten tt tonight. A derringer, likely—he'd once seen a two-shot superimposed barrel model ot Wesson make, and that might be the kind Gai was carrying. Ana Gai might readily nave picked up such a gun in a second-hand More since leaving prison. ? Now why Hadn't he taken the extra tew minutes to drag Gal into the root cellar and tie him? But the alarm was given. Inside the neuse, Torgin was roaring tn the darkness, and someone raised a bellow tn the bunkhouse. Manning propelled Purdy forward with a stift. outthruSt arm. \ “Into saddle!** Manning shouted. , Out in the barn, the dog was barking furiously. He must have been shut tn tor the night, and he was lunging against the barn door. Lamplight sprang up in the bunkhouse. Someone, underwear clad and looking like a wraith, showed in the bunkhouse doorway. Manning was across the yard and lifting tumselt to his own saddle. Purdy snatched up the reins of Gal’s cayuse and made an awkward attempt to mount. The horse shied, sidestepping and rolling its eyes. Purdy followed the mount in Its skittish maneuvering, in Manning was the cryi Burryl Burry l but he made db sound. Purdy made a mighty effort and got up into leather. Gal’s mount pitched a couple ot times and swapped ends. Purdy jostled like a sack of grain and looked as though he might pitch over the horse’s head. But ne got the thount wheeled around. - They cut out through the gateway. Manning forced his horse parallel to the; fence and looked in the direction at the root cellar, though the house blocked his view. He made out dim movement tn the ■hadowa by ths house Then ha

recognized ual, aown on ms nanas and knees, crawling. And even as Manning watched, the strength went out of Gai and the man flattened to tfle ground. Poor devil! Manning thought and found ’ his own sympathy queer, all things considered. Ahead loomed the canyon wall ana the trail’s beginning. Behind them the yard was an anarchy of sound, with men calling out and men running and a gun's deep roar in the night. Manning tupped around for a look back, and he saw Torgin standing in the doorway of the house. Torgin had taken time to pull on bis pants, fled blossomed where Torgin stood;, and Manning knew it was Torgin doing the shooting. As they galloped. Manning looked down on the moonlit roof ot the ranch-house and the yard beyond. Light fell from the open bunkhouse door; men scurried about. Over oy the corrals there seemed to be massed movement, and ne judged that most of the crew was saddled up. He stopped his steady climbing; be was panting and his chest hurt. He dragged the Winchester trom its scabbard and laid a few shots down there, not aiming at anything special but Just kicking up the dust and giving Slash 7 something to think about. The crew scattered. Guns lighted the darkness below like malignant fireflies. Six-shooters, and the range was too great. Manning restored the Winchester and started on up the trail, reaching that clump of trees where he’d parted with Laura in the late, afternoon. Something stirred, and Laura emerged, astride her wagon horse. She nudged her mount forward, crying, “Cole—" *Tve got Purdy,** ne said and lifted himself to the saddle, r “But we’ve kicked up a hornet’s nest. They’ll be hard after us." Laura looked south, toward Mannington. “That way?" Manning shook his head. “I think not. They'll expect, us to head tor town. Better turn north, 1 say. We’D nave wild country to lose them tn and wails ahead ts we have to make a stand." . “But they may remember that dugout, too," Laura protested. “Gal found Packrat there." L “He found him by the creek. Remember? According to the sign. Gal didn’t drop into the coulee where the dugout is. 1 don’t think

Income tax return — the 1953 earnings of a self-employed person filing this year cannot be counted in figuring his average earnings. If application is made before the end of September, the situation is eased somewhat by the fact that under the law a period of up to six months before the calendar quarter in which the application is filed may be ignored In the calculation of average earnings. This means that the individual’s total net income from self-employ-ment for the two calendar years. 1951 and 1952, will be divided by a corresponding 24 months. If application is filed after September, however, the same total net income in most cases must be divided by 27 months. Luecke suggests that self-employed persons who have retired this year or whoplan to retire before January visit the Fort Wayne social security office before the end of this month Members of his staff will discuss with each the advantages of'his filing during this month or waiting until later.

we u nave to worry about Gal anyway. He’s tn no shape to nd<s." • • • A few hours in bed made a deference to a man, Slade Ruxton reflected, even when the bed was as lumpy as the one tn the Mannington note! and there was only a cracked green shade to put against the afternoon's sunlight. Come to think about it. ne’d slept in railroad depots and in mud wagons and on the flat tope of freight ears tn hlf day. Slept in a tree once, tor that matter. He'd learned tong ago how to snatch a bn of rest wnenever the chance provided. Well, there'd be better days. Once he had that twentyfive thousand dollars in his pocket, he'd nave a look at San Francisco and buy himself the best bed that the best hotel provided. That was a promise, and he always Kept the promises he made to himself. Good dreaming, thia, tuned to the steady dip-clop of a horse’s hoof a Around Ruxton the moonlit night stood ghostly and tar reaching as ne pressed northward the Bootjack, not pushing tne horse bard. He should be hurrying,. ne supposed, but in film was a certain reluctance to face present realities. He was on his way to Slash 7 to drive a bargain with Mack Torgin. And It he’d guessed Torgin’a nature right from the pieces he’d put together about the man, Torgin would make a sharp dicker. Which meant that the twenty-five thousand dollars ’-'buld dot be twenty-five thousand at all, but something less. Too bad there baa co be other fingers tn the pie. Too bad indeed. Yet sitting in the Mannington restaurant, he'd known that he must deal crith Torgin, ms grheme regarding Burke Griffin having failed. Nothing had changed since. Just the same, tt was vinegar in bis mouth to contemplate parting with some of that Wells Fargo reward. A . *.j «Hla long, saturnine fissn drew fitto a scowl and his hand tightened hard on the reins. He rode on through the night, letting the horse set its own pace and pick its own way, so long as they skirted the west watt ot the basin. When Ruxton sensed he’d come far enough, be began watching tor that clump ot trees that marked tbs canyon trail Looked like the trees up there ahead, and at the same time he made out movement in the yonder night, (To Bo

Library Ms By The Librarian There are still a few people enjoying vacations and remembering the library with cards. We hope you will always remember us. Mr. and Mrs. Roscoe Glendening are having their vacation. They went first to Illinois and Will then go to Michigan where they will have a visit with Mrs. Chas. Teeple. \ ’ Mrs. Bertha Ruse has- been visiting her brother in Elkhart. Mr. and Mrs. G. R. Bierly are visiting Joan in Ohio and send a card from the Elks Home in Alliance, Ohio.

Their card is interesting for it is of the Stephen Decatur Hotel in Bainbridge, Georgia. Roland Bultemeyer sends us a card from Malaga, Spain. He has enjoyed seeing Spain and attended a bull al Ronda, Spain featuring Spain’s 3rd best bullfighters. Roland’s home address is R. R. 1, Decatur. He is now with the U. S. navy. We hope he continues to send us cards from the various places he will stop. The "Know Your America Tree” was taken down this week, the cards were filed by states and then counted. We received 512 postal cards, 25 folders and 3 booklets during the summer. It is interesting to note where people traveled during the summer. Next to Indiana we received 4-2 cards from Michigan. 35 from Canada, 29 from Ohio, 23 from California, 25 from the Northeastern states, and 24 from foreign countries. It has been a most interesting and happy summer in the .library. The cooperation of the entire community and the Decatur Daily Democrat has been very gratifying. A bulletin board has been hung in the entrance hall and cardq received from now on will be placed there for all tQ see. There are many who will he traveling during the fall and winter, and we hope to continue our news items. NO PUBLIC < Cow Hawed From Page Owe) tice Day.

Sen.' Thomas C. Hennings DMo., a subcommittee member, said the possibility of asking “outstanding school citizens” to tell what they know of delinquent “gangs” and juvenile narcotics addicts had been considered. But Hennings and Sen. Robert C. Hendrickson R-N.J., chairman of the group, said no youngster yrould be "exploited or held up to public contempt” in the hearings. Hendrickson- said it was “entirely possible” that youngsters would be called to testify before the subcommittee but he said they would receive “complete protection.” subcommittee revealed Friday that 20 cities are being considered for on-the-spot hearings, beginning in Washington in early November. Other cities id the order they will be visited will be announced later. With Sen. Estes Kefauver DTenn., Hendrickson aqd Henhings held their first formal subcommittee meeting in private Friday. The question of whether- the hearings .Will be televised in cities where facilities are available apparently is still unresolved. Hendrickson said the matter had not been discussed.

Hendrickson said in a news conference that the activities of youthful gangs will be a key target of the investigation.
