THREE NEW WAR TERMS

The present war has brought three new
full their meaning or origin is generally known
we herewith give a brief account of them.
Trojan Horse: This derives from a trick u.s.
ed by the Greeks to capture Troy in about
1894 B. C. In the tenth year of the Troy seige
the Greeks built a great wooden horse outside
the city and flied it with soldiers. Then they
withdrew their army and fleet, apparently
abandoning the campaign. The Trojans drag
ged the horse into the city, and that night the
soldiers within it poured out and opened the
city's gates allowing the returned army to
enter, and Troy fell. In the present war, Tro-
jan Horse is used to describe the way Germany
filtered military men secretly into Poland,
Norway, Belgium and Holland before actual
war operations started.
Fifth Column: During the Spanish Civil war
either General FRANCO or General MoLA, insur-
gent commanders, found available four columns
to send against Loyalist-held Madrid, and a
fifth column of rebel sympathizers waiting
inside the city to. attack the defenders from
the rear when the time was ripe. The term has
gone into the present war lexicon to designate
Nazi sympathizers biding their time in cities
marked for destruction.
Blitskreig: This word literally translated
means lightning war and is used to describe
the Nazi strategy of loosing a complete and
terrifying military attack Of great force and
sreed with the object of taking the enemy sc
by surprise that he never gets set 10 resist
The Germany Library Of Information. at II
Battery Place, New York, says blitzkreig was
rot commonly used before the full Nazi oc
c~upation of Czecho-Slovakia in March of last
year. At that time the German leadership used
it to describe its method of operation. The
term has been generally used since last Sep
TENDER when the Nazis moved into Poland.

Medical Care
BY LOGAN CLENDENING, M. D.
What is the treatment of warts?

V11oI ID Vic VI CdIlllcI1I VI WdILS.
This was the subject of discus
sion of about so physicians at a re-
cent meeting of the Academy of
Dermatology in Philadelphia. This
shows that the seemingly trivial
problem is one that is by no means
as easy as it looks. Some cases OF
warts r very easy to cure;
others will tax the resourcefulness
Of the skin specialist to the limit.
About half the cases of juvenile
warts, on people below the age of
Is, can be cured without treat
ment.
Since so many warts can be cur
ed by suggestion, this is the ex-
PLANTATION of time-honored methods
of rubbing the wart with a piece
OF meat and then burying the meat
under an apple tree on a moon
light night, rubbing the wart with
a cut apple licked with the tongue,
etc.
The suggestion treatment C O n.
slsts in painting the warts with an
entirely inert coloring fluid. The
patient is told very impressively
that as long as any trace of color
is visible the warts are not to be
touched. The complete disappear
ance of the warts occurs in four
to eight weeks with this innocuous
treatment in favorable cases.
The best form of physical treat
ment is by the x-ray. Simple ap-
plications of certain ointments are
often very efficacious.

mount to about so per cent of pa
tents, it works beautifully. 1t is
especially valuable in children.
1t is possible for patients in any
walk of life to learn this diet and
adhere to it rigidly. We have rec
ords of laborers who have learned
the diet and who have carried it
out over a period of years. Young
children offer the most difficult
problem, because in many instan'
ces it is impossible to make them
understand the Importance of rig
i'd adherence to the routine. Many
of them will steal candy or sweets
and, Of course, spoil the state Of
ketosiS.
Other children learn very early
the Importance of rigid adherence.
DR.. Thomas Marks, of Lexington,
KY, tells a most Illuminating story
of one of his little patients who
had been on the diet for several
months. This boy came into a cor
ner drug store with three of his
playmates. The playmates e a C h
bought an ice cream cone, and
this little fellow showed no inclina-
ton to obtain one. A travelling man
standing in the store noticed that
the boy did not have a cone and,
feeling sorry for him, suggested
that he would be glad to buy n
for the child. The boy looked up at
him and said: Thanks, Mister,
hut I wouldn't eat n OF them
things for fifty dollars. l would be
sure to have a fit tonight If l did,
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
w.: What can be eaten to inn
prove splitting finger-nails? Does
buttermilk contain calcium? Are
calcium tablets harmful in n
way and would they help brittle
nails?"
Answer-Food has little to do
with the causation of brittle nails.
vltamin-deficient diet may tend IN
THIS direction but we have little ex-
perlmental proof of this. Butter
milk does contain calcium. Cal
cum is not helpful in brittle nails
6r1ttle nails are, in most cases,
oue to an infection, either by ring
worm or other fungus or yeast, or
some germ

VIOLENCE REDoUBLED

PARIS, May 49, - The French
High Command says the Germans
are attacking in both Holland and
Belgium with redoubled violence
and a major onslaught is develop
ing as expected in an attempt to
drive wedge between the Belgian
and Dutch defending armies, also
move to drive south.
No Allied statement is made re-
garding the German announcement
that the northern part Of the
Netherlands Is in Nazi hands.
3O0-NIiIe Battle Front
Early this morning the battle
field extended from the North Sea
southwark to the Swiss border
through Belgium, Holland and Lux
embourg. and along the Moselle-
Rhine front, on what Is termed
300-mile front.
Air Force Active
In The Netherlands, Sunday, the
British Air Force made its power
felt by helping to check the Ger
man drive by straffing and bomb
ing supply and troop transport
trucks However, the Germans
claimed control over the two north
ern provinces of Holland with their
principal cities occupied by Nazi
invaders.
The situation in Belgium did not
appear SO favorable for the Allies
as the German forces showed their
way down through the Albert Can
al defenses and we're reported ad-
vancing southwark in a slow but
steady drive.
Artillery Firing
In the southern Belgian province
of Luxembourg the Allied forces
were reported Sunday to be fall
ing back before a German advance.
In the Grand Duchy of Luxem-
bourg, the French and German
forces were engaged in heavy fight
ing. The fighting extended to
sections of the Rhine -MosseIle
front where the Germans opened
up with terrific artillery fire in
the sector between the forested
region and the Saar River
A German infantry attack was
being watched for by French forces
near Verdun.

NAZI PREDICTION TOO

BERLIN, May 13-German offlc-

which looms on the Western Front
especially in the lowlands and also
along the Maginot line.
The official statement is also made
that for every Nazi parachute soldier
killed in violation of international
Law, ten Allied soldier prisoners will
be shot.
The term is used on account of a
statement received here that French
Premier Reynaud said yesterday in
Paris that NaZi parachuters, dis
guised as Dutch and Belgian soldiers
we're dropping from parachutes.
These disguised soldiers, it was said
have been found wearing other than
German uniforms.
The German High Command
brands the statement as a lie.
