There Still Seems
Much Interest in
Intestinal Worms
By Logan clendenins. NJ. D.

ACCORDING to my mail there
is still a great deal Of interest in
intestinal worms. The kind Of
worms we have in North America
are usually quite harmless, al
though they always alarm the
parents when they are discovered.
The Ypsilanti daily press. (Ypsilanti, Mich.) 1928-1962, 1942-04-16

Or they alarm an adult when he
finds he has passed part Of tape
worm.
There are three kinds Of intes-
final worms, all common in North
America. One is the tapeworm
which occurs mostly in adults and
the other two are pinworms and
roundworms which occur almost
entirely in children.
From Uncooked Foods
Each Of them has a somewhat
different life history, but they all
get into the body from knocked
food. The ordinary tapeworm de-
posits its eggs in the muscles Of
pigs and cattle and therefore is
found in pork and beef and unless
these are entirely cooked and their
eggs destroyed, they may thYive
in the human intestine and de-
velop into an adult tapeworm. 1t
has been figured that exposure TO

four to FIVE hours is sufficient 70
destroy the eggs in the meat, so
that ordinary cooking should do
this.
Somehow or other in q number
of cases this is not done, and an
egg lodges in the intestine and
begins to grow into an adult tape
worm. 1t buries its head in a fold
of the intestine rather high up
and as the worm grows, it may at
tain a length of ten to thirty
yards. Eventually it appears in
the stool and nearly scares the
possessor to death. The old su-
perstition to the effect that tape
worm makes people thin and that
it absorbs food has no foundation.
Even a thirty-six yard worm does
not represent more than q good,

Treatment Of Tapeworm

Treatment Of Tspeworm
The treatment Of. tapeworm Is
one of the easiest things In medi-
cine. There are any number of
drugs which will kill the worm
such as male fern, peleterine and
pumpkin seed. The great difficulty
of course is TO kill the head and
for this reason careful prepare
ton is necessary to prepare the
intestine by giving a saline ca
thartic in order to cleanse the in
testine completely.
+ Roundworms and pinworms are
childhood diseases. Pinworms may
give a great deal Of trouble. They
are very small and the eggs are
found on the surface Of fruit. The
way to prevent them therefore is
TO wash all fruit carefully before
giving it to children. The worst
trouble is that they infect the
lower bowel, crawl out Of the
anus and attach themselves to the
child's skin, causing intense itch
ing, discomfort and, with scratch
ing, infection.
Treatment should be directed
not only at removal of worms
from the bowel, but also from the
skin, the bed clothes and the I'M
derwear where they may fire.
quently be found. The bed clothes
and underwear should be changed
quite frequently and boiled to
prevent re-infection from these
sources.
The best drug to use in treat
ment Of roundworms is chenopo-
dunn. 1t may be given either by
mouth or in the form Of an enema.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
A. c.: after the surgical re-
pair Of hernia, how long should
the patient refrain from any
heavy work? Would the period
be affected by the fact that the re-
pair was that Of previous hernia,
or the use Of a spinal anaes-
thetic?"
Answer: The surgeon is the best
Judge of how long a patient should
refrain from working after a
hernia repair. Patients are usu-
ally kept in bed for at least two
weeks, but when the repair Is Of a
previous hernia, it usually re-
quires a longer time for healing.
The use Of a spinal auaesthetie
has no influence.
r. W.;-0ur children do not eat
vegetables so well. Are raw vege-
tables as good for them as the

bage, potatoes, celery, tomatoes

BRITISH: "'s
Cain Air Strength

The report of a British-G erman
air fight around Malta, where the
British had been taking a beating
since the war began without giving
in, had been a signal for the fact that
the British Raj. had been steadily
gaining strength.
In this assault, British Hurricane
fighters and anti-aircraft gunnery
had brought down IL bombers and
two fighters in a 24-hour assault on
the island.
Most significant was the fact that
the "ack-ack boys" the gunners on
the island, were credited with
knocking the two fighters and 8
of the u bombers out of the air.
The other four planes shot down
were fghter-bombers, similar in
plan to our medium attack bomb
ers," and they were all bagged by
the Raj. fighting squadron.

LABOR:
Picture Complicated

The labor situation, in the other
big battle which had conferred in
Washington, the fight over whether
the 40-hour week should be retained
or not, had complicated the New
Deal picture tremendously.
On the one hand Secretary of La
Dor Perkins and the White House
itself had been found apparently I'M
willing to scrap the 40-hour week,
while Thurman Arnold, Of the at
torney generals staff, had issued
the most bitter statement against
labor unions as obstructing the war
effort that had come out Of Wash
ington since the New Deal started.
Now, the unions were who1e-heart-
edly against the move to end the 40
hour week, claiming that the only
benefit their workers had from 1t
was the extra half-tirne pay for the
usual eight hours of overtime week
ly, while business already was be-
ing accused of getting huge profits
for its share Of the wartime boom
in industrial activity.
Congressional leaders were found
urging, against business, that all
profits over 6 per cent be recap
tured for the government, and at
the same time highly divided over
the 40-hour week.
Tremendous mail was being re-
ceived on the subject, convincing
many congressman that definite
nationwide campaign to have the 40
hour week thrown out was on.
One official high in the War Pro-
duction board stated that the 40-hour
week through overtime payments
was adding per cent to the cost
of all war contracts.
Another, contrariwise, cited that
the charge that the 40-hour week
was what "undid" France was I'M
fair, because Americas 40-hour
week does not apply to factories or
machines, but only to labor's work.

the factories after they had worked

ATLANTIC:

Sinkings continued at rapid pace

Yet there were favorable signs,

One Of these was the dim-out or

along sea-lanes frequented by coast
