New Drug Cures Impetigo

By HwKmAFI R. vURUtjtN, M.D. IMPETIGO, an infant*age skin disease, is often so contagious that Its spread closes the best of baby nurseries. The peculiar characteristic of this disease is that the infection . can ba spread from one part of the body to another until the entire body is covered by the sores. The disease most often affects the face, apalp, aiDU'Eod ’-gs, but it can affect the entire body, it is one ot the most difficult and stubborn of diseases to clear up. Characteristic Baah The rash is usually described as having little blisters filled either with blood or pus, which crust and become scaly. A germ known as the staphylococcus is usually the cause of Impetigo. Before treatment is attempted, the crust and blisters must ba removed. This is usually done by thoroughly eleansing the rash and sponging the stta with soap • and water. Recently neomycin, one of the newer antibiotics, wga very

Advertising doesn't coat ... it pays. -—o o Our Foreign Policy:— Over the weekend Secretary of State. Dulles and other Cabinet members discussed the Formosa problem with President Eisenhower at his Denver vacation retreat. It seems that our foreign policy is in bad shape. Commenting on today’s situation in the world, the JournalGasette said: The death of the European Defense Community plan poses the biggest diplomatic problem which has yet faced the Eisenhower Administration. The Administration must do more than mourn the death. It must find some way—some practical way—to prevent a power vacuum in Western Europe. If such a vacuum is permitted, the Soviet Union wUI move into it. Whatever plan is used must not set those two ancient political and economic rivals, France and Germany, against each other. It must enable them to work and pull together. They must stand united againet the menace of Communist imperialism. The test of American leadership during the next few months will be an acid one. Now is the time for John Foster Dulles to show some of the dynamic diplomacy which he talked about before the election of 1952. The United States is the strongest power in the world. Yet today she is being treated with scant respect by .the nations which ' should he our close allies. . America holds a good hand, but her cards are not being played right. Ar* we to fritter away our good will among nations by inept acts and confused words? Are we to use the strength of a giant like a babe in arms? This nation needs a new foreign policy and it cannot wait much longer to begin the formulation of one. Time is running out for the fiee world.

CHAPTER ELEVEN * PENN knew that she could not go to her grandmother* a She was too confused in her own mind. She was too much - troubled -by strange new sense of guilt, this senseless unease about the Nichols family. •1 couldn't go. I have things to do," she said. Maude ran her hand through the filmy leg of a stocking and frowned at the run that followed her painted nails, widening into a cobweb of threads. "Nothing is worth buying any more!” she fumed. “I’ve worn these things twice, and look at them!" i “Too sheer." Penn reached for a brush and smoothed back her hair. “1 get no good out of those gossamer things, r®* stopped buying them entirely." “But 1 can’t go around tn stuffy hose, wrinkling down around my ankles. Penn, 1 tell you 1 simply can't gol There’s just no use your arguing about tL I have to exchange this dress. Why 1 ever let the woman. talk me into getting that shade of green! And there’s no real reason why 1 should go over there anyway. I never knew those people." "They're neighbors. And she’s s.'dic," ported Fean. - - "They're not our friends. There was a time when you girls first came here when he was very unfrtcndly." "What happened? To make Mr. Nichols unfriendly. 1 mean?’* "Horrors, 1 don’t know. It was business and 1 never inquire about business. 1 let your uncle manage his own affairs: It’s the only way to keep a marriage serene. Remember that, Penn, if you ever get a husband." Maude turned suddenly, struck sharply by a thought. “There ivaa a Nichols boy. Younger than Gil. is that the reason for all thi* solicitude of yours about that family?" Fenn shrugged, turned away to

hide the flush she could feel burning ner face, made her voice light with amusement. "There's nothing romantic about tt, if that’s what you mean. Aunt Maude. 1 did meet the Nichols boy —only to find that he hates us poisonously. I’ve been slightly curious to know the reason for that." Did she, in the mirror, catch a hesitant look of uncertainty, a guarded, uneasy look on her aunt’s face ? • "When a man attains prominence and responsibility, Penn, there are always little people lurking around to hate him for small, personal reasons ot their own,” Maude declared smugly. "If you are loyal to your uncle you’ll ignore that sort of thing ’as not worth considering. If I’d tried to placate every insignificant person with a grievance who has hung around the fringes of our lives. I’d have had a dreary time of it. There was a man last year—he s was some distant relative of your mother, too, 8> the way— who hung around the office for days. Claudia got pretty nervous. She imagined he had s gun, but that was absurd, of course." “What relative? Why didn’t we know about it?" "Some vague cousin or other. Eiihu got rid of him finally. It was about some piece of land he owned and that the government condemned tor the ordnance plant Os course he was sure he hadn't got enough money tor it" , "Well, hadn’t he?" “My dear, now would I know? The Penns were a big family, and big families always have a few odd characters. Look at Che Storeys. Actually Ellhu’s brothers embarrass me whenever we go home.” "Also the Houka Uncle George, for instance," Penn said coolly. "1 know. 1 wish he'd marry," Maude sighed. ‘Tm afraid he'll be a problem when he gets old." "Nobody will marry Uncle George. He’s getting sly. Also he's getting fat I’m sorry you won’t go with me, Aunt Maude. 1 don’t know why 1 wish you would, except that tt aevmt like the right thing to do." Penn got up to leave the room. < 'Tm still wondering if there’s more to this than meets the eye," Maude flung after her. “Do remember this —your first thought should be for your uncle, always. He’s a national figure. And we all depend upon him.” “AU the more reason why I should dislike having people hate him, whether they are important or not," Penn retorted. Os coursl Marsh Nichols, Jr., could not really be called important That old car, that old bouse —they had been wealthy once, Malvina had said. People who lost their money were always resent-

As she got in the car, Quincy'i head appeared at an upper win* dow. “Don’t forget the car's mine after 8 o’clock," she yelled, and added: “I hope he’s good-looking. I Ask him over some time."

A voice from the rear called, “Lula!" and presently a tiny Negro woman, a green scarf around her head, came into view.
