Help fill the coin collectors for the March of Dimes. -—o This weekend basketball has the spotlight as the county tourney is played at Adams Central's new gym for the championship. Three thousand fans will root for their favorite and join in saluting the champs Saturday night. 0 o—7— Old Guards like Sen. Bricker of Ohio and Sen. Butler of Maryland, have been quoted from private talks that they do not think much of President Eisenhower’s program. One of them remarked, “I guess we didn't vote for a change after all”. It would be impossible to please these two political leaders who evidently want the country to go back to the Hoover days. 0 0 ■ - The workers' paradise, as Communist apoligists like to call Russia, is not so much of a paradise after all. According to a calendar of national holidays issued by New York's Guaranty Trust Co., Russia allows only three holidays, fewer than any other country in the world. There were five up to Stalin's death, but two have been dropped. The only rest days remaining are Jan. 1, New Year’s; May 1, International labor day, and Nov. 8. the anniversary of the Bolshevist revolution. 0 0— The Ohio legislature has installed an electrical voting system, falling into line with Indiana and other progressive states. Representatives will vote by pressing buttons at their desks, thereby flashing on illuminated boards on the well a red light for “no” and a green for "yes." This will save hours of tedious roll-calls, which now take from six to eight weeks of the regular session, it is estimated. Indiana installed the electric eye system when the state house was remodeled a few years ago. -—o o— Congressman E. Ross Adair has joined those who have objected to the award of contracts to a British firm for two electric generators to be built in England. Mr. Adair said the awards of the contract was “unjustifiable” and that the proposal of the General Electric Company to build the generators should be reconsidered. Although the British firm was lower on its bid than the American manufacturers, it

Too-Tight Shoes or Stockings Can Cause an Ingrown Toenail

By HEIMAN N. BUUDESEN, HD. FOR want of a properly fitted shoe, a nail can be lost. I am referring to the foot condition known as ingrown toenail, a very painful and disabling one. The disease usually affects the big toe, but can affect any of them. At the sides, the nail is usually shorter and, Instead of going ■ beyond the soft parts of the toe as nature intended, it burrows into the skin, causing pain. Eventually, infection may also which will greatly Increase the pain. Tight Footwear The most frequent causes of an ingrown* toenail are either short or narrow shoes or tight stockings. These crowd the toes and put pressure on the outer portion of the nail. Improper standing or walking may also be a cause of difficulty. Too - high heels and pointed shoes, however, are the reasons that Ingrown toenails occur in many more women than men. -- Improper cutting of the nails contributes to this difficulty. Otten, when a patient finds a corner of the nail beneath the flesh, he will dig down beneath the nail and cut off part of the comer. " This leaves a sharp portion of the nail which can burrow into the soft flesh and cause further trouble. Therefore, the nails should be cut straight across. _____ _ Antibiotics Used Before the days of penicillin and other antibiotics, Ingrown toenails frequently became serf-

was pointed out that the government would lose a big hunk of taxes and that employment would be denied 500 American workmen for a year in the manufacture of the generators. ‘ —0 0— The offer of Calvin Yost to sell 20-acres of land at the southeast , edge of the city, on which is located the former Country club building, will be a matter of business before the County Extension Committee at its meeting January 25. Details of what Mr. Yost has in mind will be explained to the committee and then full discussion of the proposition can follow. For several years it has been the aim of the adult leaders to acquire a permanent home for the county's 4-H clubs, and the Yost offer will at least focus attention toward that objective. Decatur would be happy to be the home of the 4-H organisation. —0 0 Oscar Straus, the Viennese composer, is dead. His name was frequently confused with that of Johann Strauss who composed the Viennese waltses which are so much a part of the music of that country. They were not related. Oscar Straus will be best remembered for his operetta "The Chocolate Soldier.” Straus loved his country and suffered a great deal from its enemies. In 1936 when Hitler invaded Austria he fled to Paris. When the Nazis occupied Paris he fled again, this time to the United States where he lived for some years. Straus’s music was not great music, perhaps, by the standards applied by severe critics. But it did afford a great deal of pleasure to many people , and some of it will be played and remembered for a long time. ——o o March Against Polio:— Coin collectors for the March of Dimes campaign have been ; placed in stores and offices,, schools and public buildings. The National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis needs money to carry on its great work. The Adams County Chapter also needs money to aid local victims. We should give to the March of Dimes and give generously to this most worthy cause. “ As the paralyzed, boy in the wheel chair said, “Please the March of Dimes, won’t you.”

■ ously infected and many patients lost toes because of this. This defect is particularly dangerous in patients with diabetes or poor circulation in the legs, for It may touch off a series of events which could ultimately cause gangrene and amputation of the leg. Frequent Soaking Once the inflammation and swelling caused by an ingrown nail disappear, the infection can becleared up. Frequent soaking can reduce the inflammation. Inserting cotton beneath the nail raises it and relieves pressure on the soft tlssue. ~ The antibiotics are sometimes of help in curing the Infection. Once it has cleared, the patient should be instructed to cut his nails straight across so that the comers cannot burrow into the skin. Os course, he should change his shoe style or correct the habits that may have caused the ingrown toenail. In some severe cases, however, the only cure will be extensive surgery to remove a portion of the nail or even the entire nail. QUESTION AND ANSWER Miss P. C.: I have a skin disease known as neurodermatitis. Will moving to the south help this disease? Answer: This disease may be helped by a warm, mild climate. However, when you leave for the warm climate, you should remember to leave your troubles at home. This will probably do more in relieving your skin difficulty.

But Kelly would not be present to sign the contract tor tL because Kelly Fraser was dead. Now Dale, his loyal and faithful young widow would have to sign it tor him. Their marriage bad been nappy and brief, booking back. It seemed to Dale only yesterday that Kelly Fraser had first come to her grandfather's bouse where she met him. He d fallen In tove with a little white cottage on Grandfather's land. And so he moved into it. and set up his typewriter to work undisturbed on bls script. It was to this same little house that Dale had come as Kelly Fraser's bride. To live with him here In rural Swan seem be. in serene content, for two short years. Then tragedy struck. A dark winter night, a blinding snow storm, a miscalculation at s railway crossing, combined to snufi out Kelly Fraser's life, and a great deal of Dale Fraser’s life. too. Now she must put the dark past behind her. Kelly needed her signature on that contract tor bls book. She must seem alert, even gay. when she faced his publisher tn New York. —— ■ '■ . ■* - C' CHAPTER SIX WHAT strange telepathy had relayed Dale’s desperate need to him all those miles away? For she was ready, now, to face th# interview with Steven Carruthers. She gathered up her gloves and handbag, put on the new beige straw hat with its arrogant thrust of feather. Yesterday she had felt herselt to be the only dowdy woman on Park Avenue, and she had walked into one ot the stores and bought the hat and a new printed silk dress. Her hair was suddenly all wrong. To a competent hair stylist, she had said, "Do what you like with it!" She had closed her eyes while he snipped and shaped. He’d certainly shorn her! Dale bent to the mirror. For a long time it hadn’t mattered how she looked or what she wore. Here, it seemed presslngiy important, if only because everyone else made it so. Besides, it gave her courage tor the unavoidable new contacts. -.Out on the street, the wind almost blew off ..er hat. She took it oft and waved its feather at a taxicab. The man grinned and pulled over with a flourish. She got tn and leaned back against the upholstery. After today, what was she going to do with herself until it was to go home? There were a dozen of Kelly’s friends within reach ot her voice on the telephone. Yet without Kelly, where did she fit into their lives? They had accepted her as Kelly’s wife, had genuinely liked her, but what bond had she now with any ot them? The thought ot reminiscences made her flinch. She put her hat on again, using her compact mirror, noting her pallor, but afraid to apply rouge hastily for fear ot overdoing it The taxi drew up before a skyclimbing office building. Dale got out, paid the fare, went into thg lobby. Among the firms alphabetically listed on a firass plate was that ot Carruthers and Scott. As she rode up in the elevator to the Copyright. U>b3.

eleventh floor, Dale noticed that someone had on a sprig of real lilac. Its perfume assaulted her senses, and she thought rebeUiously, Even here! “Eleven!” She stepped out, not sure which way to turp. A girl carrying a stenographer's pad said, “That way,” tn answer to Dale’s query, and pointed. “Last door, end of the corridor.” i “Thank you.” She stood irresolutely before the door. Well, here you are, And whether. you like it or not, you are going to have to talk about KeHy. The receptionist's face lighted with flattering recognition when Dale gave her name. “You're to go right In, Mrs. Fraser." She pressed a button on her desk. A responsive buzz came from behind a closed door. The girl inclined her head toward it, and then Dale was opening it, was inside. Steven Carruthers, a tallish, middle-aged man, was offering her a chair and smiling at , her. The interview was not difficult, after all. Dale realized that Steven Carruthers was putting himself out to be considerate and thoughtful, although excitement over Kelly's Trumpet of Noon flashed in and out of his friendliness. Finally, opening a drawer of his desk, he took out the contract. ’Take this along and read it carefully,” he said. “Before we’re through with this, there’s going to be a lot of money involved. And,’’ he added, "publicity.” How will you like being a celebritys wMef _ ' . I’ve never been one! What does she dot She tags along while I sign autographs, and reads the reviews to me in bed some twenty floors up, and goes to cocktail parties with me It sounds like a very mad whirl! Kelly hadn’t known that she would be a celebrity’s widow. “The money doesn’t particularly interest me,’’ Dale-said." Nor the publicity.”' “It interests us.“ But it was kindly said, softened with a smile. Dale folded the contract across and stuffed it into her handbag. "I’ve misplaced your address,’ Mrs. Fraser.” She mentioned the name of her hotel and he jotted it down on a pad. Then, coming around the desk to shake hands again, “Swanscombe—where's that?" he asked. “Never heard of it before." "It’s not even a dot on the maps," she said. She was suddenly filled with homesickness for IL Already she felt the city pushing at her from all directions. She shrank from going out on the street, hailing another cab, fighting off the violent surges ot energy and activity everywhere about her.

As soon after four as you please, and you may Stay as long as you wish. You should, however, remain at least 20 or 25 minutes, for to leave any sooner would be an act of rudeness. Q. A woman I know is always using the expression, “my dear”, when speaking with people. Is this considered good form? A. It is all right, but it can be overdone, especially if used india criminately to strangers, as well as good friends. Q.

He was on his feet tn one swift motion at their approach. “Hi, Steve.” "Oh, hello, PhiL You here again?” “Haunt you, don’t I ? I just stopped by for this.” He ducked his head at a manuscript lying on the desk. With a quizzical grin, his dark eyes twinkling, he asked. "Did you read it yourself, or one of your hirelings?” “Three ot my hirelings,” Carruthers said amiably. “The tenor ot their reports was distressingly identical.

"Stop being an incompetent author, you lug.” Phil swung to Dale again. “It you are ever tempted to write a book, Mrs. Fraser—’* He checked himself with mock dismay. “Or have you?” ■ She shook her head. “Wise girt.
