Stop! Don't Scratch That Itch!

'By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.D. ,» ~ AN action,’so common as the scratching of ai simple itch may _ turn out to be a dangerous thing. Scratching may cause a skin disorder so disturbing to the disease originally causing the itch that it} is difficult to determine the actual cause of the trouble.‘Thus, it may make diagnosis and treatment all the more difficult. I f . A General and Local Causes Itching of the skin or other parts of the bbdy, such as the rectum dr reproductive organs, may be duetto either general or local causes. Local causes include sueh things as insect bites, pinworms, or irritations from certain types of plants, such as poisbri ivy. There may be irritation from pollens or certain medicines that are used to relieve the itching to which the person is sensitive. Even an excesls of strong body secretions, such as sweat and urine, or a discharge, may cause local irritation. Certain systdmfc diseasei that affect body many times do not cause much of a rash, but do cause very severe itching. Good examples of this are diabetes, Hodgkin’s disease, or a condition of the blood known as leukemia. Sometimes ah allergy or sensitivity will cause itching throughout the body. Some women have Jhls discomfort associated with the change of life. A, great many

so much trouble with the tax collector if they handled their, affairs like the average person. Their taxes should be deducted from their pay-check, using the balance for their high living. A case in point is Dick Haynies who itj is said owes the government about $50,000 in back taxes. The ordinary taxpayer could not get by with owing SSO. The tax collector will now take half of his gross earnings until he cleans the slate with Uncle Sam. 0 O—L s Sir Winston Churchill, statesman, soldier, orator and writer has been awarded the Nobel prize for literature. Few men have received as many honors in their lifetime as has the 78 year-old Prime, Minister of Great Britain whose personal courage and faith was A big factor in sustaining the British people in the dark days of World War 11. His friends say he Cherishes winning the Nobel prize for peace before he ends his career. _0 o | Dr. N. A. Bixler of this city has announced his retirement from the Indiana State Board of Optometry, a post he has faithfully filled for the past 15 years. Noted for his thoroughness and application to any subject or duty assigned him, Dr. Bixler was not just? a “voting member” of the state board. He is credited with doing much of the spade work that resulted in the establishing of a school of optometry at Indiana University. His sincerity to the very vital subject of sight and proper '-care of the eyes is attested by the fact that he served under four different governors, each recognizing his devotion and leadership to the state post. 0 0 Caution With Guns:— Fatal accidents with guns are so common that they seldom receive much publicity outside of the area in which they happen. j During hunting season there are a number of accidents resulting from careless use of guns. Sometimes they are fatal, sometimes the victims are injured ' for life. Many accidents with guns happen in The home when children play with '“unloaded guns” or adults do not exercise proper care while i cleaning weapons. \ There is no such thing as being too cautious in the use. cleaning and storing of firearms.

of the cases of itching skin may be due to some form of nervousness, coming from tension or anxiety, with the symptoms tending to appear and become worse during times of stress or worry. It has been shown that no one pattern can be used to determine the cause for all the different types of itching that may be present. «. Antihistamine Drugs Usually the safest drugs available to. relieve this condition are the antihistamine drugs, used both in pill form and. in the form of an ointment as prescribed by the physician. In many cases, itching may be much worse than even severe pain and much more unbearable. Rather than scratch fruitlessly, it would be better for persons to consult a physician before the itch spreads and becomes inand makes diagnosis much more difficult. QUESTION AND ANSWER P. T.! Is gout curable? I have had it for the past fifteen years. Answer: Gout is probably not totally curable in so far as is known at v present, but attacks can be prevented by consuming a diet that does not contain alcohol or rich foods. The diet should consist of milk, eggs, cereals, fruits and non-rich meats. During an attack, drugs such as colchicine, cortisone and ACTS y of halm _ .

CHAPTER THIRTEEN , NANCY went back to the office Tuesday morning wondering what Humphrey Charles would say at her absence the day before. She wondered it . she. really had a job to go to. Even if she did manage to get by with him she felt that she was never going to hear the end of the gossip of girls in the office. She was too unstrung and tired to care much. She thought of Lucy Wardle. Poor Lucy, the most harmless soul in the world, had been drawn into Nancy’s impulsive escapade and had added to the hurt of Mother Kelly’s deception Nancy was out of the house early that Tuesday morning, so early\ she had time to look into Bhop windows before she went to the office. She looked into the windows but all she could see was the expression on. her mother’s and father’s faces when she had arrived home the night before, the contempt that was in the eyes of her brother Tom. She had admitted that she had requested Lucy Wardle to fib tor her, but she had made the excuse that she was afraid if they had known the truth they would have worried. \ ' . ’ Tom had said, “Oh, yeah!” to that. It was a thing of the past now. Mother Kelly had warned Nancy not to have any more to do with Phil Stanley. She had said that Phil with all his money could have no good in his mind when he started “cottoning up to a poor girl like you.” Nancy had made no reply beyond “Oh, Mother!” There was a wealth of meaning in Nancy’s two words, but Mother Kelly had missed IL Nancy had thought that people might be poor and troubled, but that didn’t mean they couldn’t reach toward the stars, that they had to always remain ordinary. The thought of all this lay like a heavy hand on Nancy’s heart now. She glanced at the city hall clock. It was five minutes to nine. She had hurried to the office. Humphrey Charles had hardly been in his private office a few moments when he buzzed for Nancy. She took her chair across the table from him and spread out her notebook. “No dictation, Miss Kelly. I want to talk to you. 1 want to suggest that you show more—if you don’t mind my being frank—you know I am a frank person. Miss Kelly—more discretion if you wish to remain in the employ of this firm. “You no dpubt know the name of Spencer and Charles was prominently mentioned in newspaper stories in connection with your—your entrapment in Mr. Stanley's Jake lodge. Naturally 1 mean entrapment by the storm. “1 was chagrined when I overheard a conversation in the streetcar thia morning. Two young men were discussing the matter and one of the men said the Kelly girl was a—l am using the exact ex-

General Electric Sales On Increase Sales of the General Electric company for the first nine months of this year, totalling 000, represented the highest ninemonths’ level in the company’s history and marked an increase of 29 per cent over the same period last year, president Ralph J. Uordiner has announced. Net earnings for the nine months also increased, rising to $116,386.000, which was equivalent to- 5.V cents on each dollar of sales, or $-4.03 per share of common stock. This represented an increase of 23 per cent over the earnings for the corresponding period of 1952 of $94,750,000, ' which equalled 5.2 cents per dollar of sales, or per share of common stock. « Trade in a good Town — Decatur

pression of the young man, Miss Kelly—i)e said the Kelly girl was a redheaded stenographer and a hot pickup Stanley had made in the offices of Spencer and Charles. “Now, Miss Kelly, that is not the kind of public mention we wish to have made of our firm. Let me give you some advice. Mr. Stanley is one of our clients. The firm is representing the Stanley Construction company in important litigation at the moment Besides that, Mr. PhU Stanley is a gentleman who is very wealthy. He travels in a stratum of society you could hardly expect to fit into. “I trust you do not misunderstand me, Miss Kelly. “1—” Humphrey Charles' dry voice went op. Nancy Was too blinded with fury to know what he I was sayings She wanted to slash her notebook across his thin jaws and to fire at him: “1 quit! I’m through with this place forever.” She didn’t. She couldn’t. She was the only Kelly working. AlTday long the sting of Humphrey Charles* words was with ner. \ ; “Mr. Stanley is a\gentleman . . . a station of society you could hardly expect to fit into.” If necessity is the mother of invention, as the old saying goes, it likewise is the parent of self-con-trOL Nancy Kelly was to learn that more and more following Humphrey Charles’ warning that she must be more discreet so far as the law firm’s A-l platinumplated clients, Phil Stanley and the Stanley Construction company, were concerned. She had wanted to throw her notebook at him and quit her job. Instead she had swallowed her pride. It would have been grim satisfaction to her pride if she were without a job and there were, no forty-dollar check each week to keep the rent paid and food on the Kelly table. She had swallowed her pride again a few days after the Humphrey Charles incident when one noon to free her mind of contracts, writs, lawsuits, mandamus actions and all the other dry grind of a lawyer’s office, she stopped at the Layton Art gallery. What an escape it was, if only for a few minutes. She had hardly entered the building when she was struck with the peace and quiet of the place. No clattering of typewriters, no sense hurry, no clocks, no time. Lovely old pictures, exquisite statuary. She wandered down stairs into the Layton Ass School. She peeked into one of the studios. A class of girls seemed to be studying fabrics and design. One of the gft-Is was standing on > platform strewn with all manner of gay colored materials. She was being draped with yards of green cloth by the instructor. How clever the artist-teacher was. A pm nere, a fold there, a twist cloth, a deft touch, and the girl acting as model was transformed into a Grecian statue.

Stale Nurseries Take Tree Orders & Taking Orders For Delivery In Spring State nurseries in Hoosier land are now taking orders tor spring delivery of trees, according to L. E. Archbold, county agent. ' Farmers who would like to plant for timber production, windbreaks, erosion control, or Christmas trees, should be sure to obtain a nursery stdck application troth either the extension office ir, Decatur or the division o< forestry office. 311 North Washington street. Indianapolis. A list of recommended species ar.d an instruction sheet for ordering are attached to the application blank. Three state nurseries report that they will have a good supply of several species cl trees, both conifers and hardwoods. Listed as available for planting next spring are black locust, tulip poplar, and lo'blolly. shortleaf, Virginia, Scotch, jack, red and white pine. Trees are available for planting in rural sections outside of city or town limits and ate sold in quantities of 50 trees or more of any one species. During the shipping season, usually from March 15 . until May 1. purchased trees can be either picked up at the nursery or shipped to the farm. If farmers need any help in determining what, where, and how to plant they should contact their county agent or write to the forestry department at Purdue for the following bulletins: Extension leaflet 294. entitled “Ten Pointers on Tree Windbreaks.” and station circular 306, on "Trees tor Reforestation in Indiana.” Timbuktu, featured in stories for generations as the ultimate of faraway places, is a drab, sunbaked village on the southern edge of the Sahara dese*-!, about SOO miles from the neaxert eoast. It if now known as Tombouctou.

Nancy peeked into the room unnoticed. She knew that she was an - intruder yet she was compelled to stay. How lucky these girls were. How she longed to be dping the very things they were doing. \ Nancy’s passion for clothes rose in her heart. The vision ot a shop, her own shop, one that she could manage just as she thought such a shop should be managed, a shop with racks and racks of clothes— > clothes to touch, to admire, to raaal in, to buy and to sell, began to'torment her againWhat an escape that would be from the grim facts of law, the ever increasing pages of shorthand hieroglyphics always awaiting \ transcription, the mustard colored tomes of law, acts, ordinances, decisions, chapter this and paragraph that, parties of the first part, etc., etc. She gave a final glance into the studio. She would have time for just another glance at her favorite picture, "Silent Adoration,* in the gallery above. It was one of Carl Marr’s. It was an interior scene tn an old-fashioned house with geraniums tn the window. Before the window at a table sat two figures* a girl about Nancy’s age, but dressed in a white, voluminous gown of long ago, and the girl’s young husband, smoking a long stemmed pipe and engaged in a book, unconscious of his bride’s silent devotion. Whenever Nancy had visited the gallery she had always found herself drawn to that picture again and again. She loved to read things into it, to try to get what the artist meant. She always came to the same conclusion. It could be nothing more than old-fashioned romance. Nancy was lost in contemplation of the picture now. The figure of the young bride faded and it was Nancy herself who was sitting at the table, chin cupped in hand as the girl in the white dress was. Across from her was— How like Daye Armstrong the young man in the picture was. Could she ever sit across from Dave like that and worship him silently ? have was kind and strong and good looking and ambitious, just as : the young husband in the picture must be ambitious, for he was reading such an important looking big volume. , , She replaced the picture’s figure with that of Dave, the girl’s figure with that of her own, and how did she feel? She didn’t know. Was it a thrill? Did her very being glow with love of him as the girl in the picture seemed to glow with the love of her young man? Nancy tried to think that it was so, but her imagination ceaset} its flights. She wanted to be devastated with love, to burn with desire for the Ups of her imaginary husband, whoever he might be, who was to sit across from her, reading. When her imagination placed Dave Armstrong in that chair she didn’t feel that way. (To Be Continued)
