With * month yet to run on the winter track, it might be well to keep an eye on the snow shovel. 0 o If the Republican state committee succeeds in boosting its war chest to >500,000 the November election will not be a battle of ballots, but for dollars. 0 p— Administration x leaders like Gpv. Dewey, Sen. Jenner, the fiery-tongued orator, and others should read Lincoln's “malice toward none" speech before taking the platform. 0 0—The sedate Library of Congress has accepted a collection of Band Leader Glen Miller's swing records. Possibly Speaker Joe Martin will call colleagues to the vaulted building for a practice session in keeping-ln-step. O Our military heads are redesigning our defenses and placing heavier emphasis on aircraft and atomic-powered subs and supercarriers. With this atomic thinking, will the reference to war be ' on a bombing, instead of a shooting basis. —o—o— J. The chairman and attorney for the Indiana Toll Road Commission will be paid >IO,OOO a year more than the governor. The lucrative jobs, just created with the proposed building of the turnpike across the northern rim of the state carry salaries of >25,000 annually for the two appointees.

Alcohol Used as a Medicine

By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.D. SINCE the sixteenth century, It has been known that certain alcohol concoctions were helpful In relieving and preventing a type ♦ heart pain known as angina pectoris. Chest and Arm Pain In this disease, the patient may suddenly have a severe pain in the chest which travels down his left arm for a short time. He will usually have an ashen color to his skin when he suffers this attack. Until a short time ago, scientists believed that the action of the alcohol waS'Th the brain and acted as a sedative in relieving the pain, but actually did not alter the attack. However, new theories have replaced this belief. Alcohol does not have any effect on the blood pressure or pulse and, of course, alcoholic beverages In large amounts can depress the heart’s action. Artery Size Increased Many heart specialists now agree that the heart arteries are increased in else by moderate dooes of alcohol which thus may be of great help in treatingangina. Experiments were conducted to see if certain types of alcohol

Secretary of Defense Wilson assures the country that American troops will not be sent to Indochina. However, we plan to send “mechanics” to the war area and Sen. Richard Russell of Georgia warns against this commitment. The senator said this decision is a mistake that might lead to “piece-meal” involvement in the far eastern conflict. o 0 Seventy-five years ago todly Thomas Alva Edison gave the electric light to the world. After years of hardship and untold devotion to his idea, the great inventor perfected the incandescent lamp. The first demonstration of the burning bulb was hook-ed-up in a kitchen in Sarah Jordan's boarding house in Menlo Park, N. J. A turn of the button and there wasdight No invention has done more for mankind than Edison's use of electricity to light the world and operate machinery. _ . _ -—o —o— Americans like to believe that we excel in everything, and not least in the speed and service offered by our fast trains. Yet, according to Tracks, the publication of the Chesapeake & Ohio Railway, the longest non-stop run in the world is made not by an American train, but by a British. The Elizabethan does the 393mile journey from London to Edinburgh in 6 hours, 45 minutes, just a trifle under 60 miles an hour. This is good average speed in any country, though some of our crack trains exceed it. —-0 Soviet Minister Molotov has made, every effort to disrupt the Rig Four conference and to avoid settlement of the questions of unifying Germany and accomplishing a peace treaty with Austria. Perhaps his most surprising proposal is for a plebiscite in Germany which offers the choice of alliance with the West or a peace treaty which would unify Germany and at the same time bar any participation Jn the European , army. Molotov’s plan would place Germany at the mercy of the Reds and would give 18,000,000 in Communist East Germany the same voice in forming a government as the 68,000,000 people in the Western sone. 0 up” the game and risk spoiling the I guests' entertainment.

I have a greater effect in increas- , Ing the amount of blood flow to _ | the heart arteries. i . Aged in Oak Containers s It was found that the bever- » ages that were aged in oak containers, and therefore contained some tannin and other oakwood , products, produced an increased ( blood flow to the heart arteries. , The Increase was sometimes as great as 10 to 25 per cent. i ; A good example of this type of , alcohol is fine champagne. It was found that cognac greatly increased the blood flow to the heart. Certain types of brandy that were stored in oak barrels also had a very excellent effect. The amount of aromatic substances deflnltely caused the effect of the alcohol. Os course, the physician should always be consulted as to whether or not alcoholic beverages should be used. QUESTION AND ANSWER Mr. 8. T.: What causes the skin to crack around the nails on the hands,especially the index finger? Answer: This is most often due to a form of Irritation which may be caused by the use of some type of soap or detergent.
