tlte comes surging for that dinner
that should make you Danish the

Afu5i0n
A somewhat similar treatment
which results in somewhat the
same reactions in the body can be
carried out in your bathroom and
is called atfusion. Atfusion is usu-
ally given with the patient sitting
in an empty bath tub. The bottom
of the bath tub should be covered
with a bath towel. A pitcher of
water with a temperature of 80
20 So F. is poured on the body
by tho attendant who holds the
pitcher about head-high and with
appraised arm.
The simplicity of the technique
of the atfusion idea has caused it
to be neglected for more compli-
Gated and spectacular forms of
treatment. 1t is valuable in any
condition which is accompanied bv
fatigue, nervous exhaustion and
characterized by loss of tone and
resistance.
The effect Of the affusion is not
the same as that of a cold bath
n not the same as a cold shower.
The shock caused by a broad
stream OF cold water is the secret
Of its effectiveness. In the case of
the weak patient it is we'll to be-
gin with warmer water and grad
ually reach the colder tempera-
ture. 1t can be carried out in the
evening before going to bed dav
after day for many weeks in sue
cession.

Causes und Cure Of Cold Sores
Are Mysteries to All Doctors

mouth are the same as cold sores.
1t is believed that cold sores are
due to a virus or form of Infection
which invades the nerve ganglia
of the nerve going to the lips and
tongue. 1t is because the nerve
itself is affected that they hurt
so much.
Use of SMALLPOX Vaccine
It has been suggested on the
basis of experimental work that
smallpox vaccine will prevent
cold sores People who are sus-
ceptible to them will probably find
it worth a trial to take smallpox
vaccine several times as a matter
Of prevention of cold ores.
1t Is obvious from the fact that
fever therapy viii produce cold
sores that they are in some way
related to an increase in bodily
temperature. So there is some
justification for calling them fever
biisters. The reason they are
called cold sores is that they 50
often accompany a common cold.
Pneumonia is another fever in
which they almost invariably
make their appearance.
In the observation recorded
above, SOC of patients developed
them after the first treatment,
1870 after the second, and3Ct after
the third, and after a third attack
the recurrence was negligible. So
a certain amount of immunity de-
velops.
NIB. The scientific name for
cold sores is Herpes Simplex.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
j. G.:-"Is st. Nitus dance to
be considered serious in a boy
seven years old? If so, what would
you adviSe?'
Answer: st. Vitus dance is a
mild rheumatic infection which at
tacks the nervous system but
never causes death. Most people
recover within nine weeks or
Whereabouts without any treat
ment at all. The thing that needs
to be thought of is to watch his
heart for a year or more.

reflects the attitude Of the public,
which is that doctors know all
about cold sores.
They ought to. More or less
everybody has cold sores. They
are very simple affairs-at least
to the extent that they never kill
anybody. But they are trouble
come out of all proportion to the
seriousness of their appearance.
If there is anything that hurts
worse than a cold sore, except
having a baby or a kidney stone, !
don't know what it is. So doctors
should know the cause and how to
cure them. That all seems per
fectly obvious.
Unfortunately, the fact is that
the medical profession knows moth
ing whatever about cold sores.
They don't know the cause of them,
they don't know how to prevent
them and they don't know how to
shorten their course.
Prevention Unknown
l have before me a report of
some doctors in San Francisco who
found that every time they gave
heat treatment or fever treatment
to patients, a large group de-
veloped cold sores. In a group of
32l patients, 221, or nearly 7lH,,
had cold sores when they took
artificial fever therapy. Now if
the doctors knew how to prevent
it, they certainly would do so
under these circumstances. when
they had a mathematical expect
ancy of having cold sores develop
in 71ro of cases.
In most of the patients the
sores appeared twenty-four to
thirty-six hours after the begin
ming Of treatment. The average
time of healing vas sever to ten
days.

ly reasonable price, Benroth SAID.
In his journey to the Far Eastern
land of mystery, Benroth crossed the
equator twice and in the first cross
ing was initiated into the Order of
Neptune with complete ceremonies.
His certificate signifying membership
in the exclusive body was included
in the letter home.
The heat is terrific in India and
made more unbearable by the humid
conditions. Very frequently the tenn
perature rises to $50 degrees and
never falls below so degrees.
Apparently Pvt Benroth has not
been receiving his mail regularly be-
cause he states that the things he
misses most are letters from home
and American cigarettes.
Benroth, a former Triplett en-
ploye, entered the army in April of
1912 and trained at Jefferson Bar
racks, Missouri, after which he was
assigned to the troop ship carrying
him to the foreign destination.

total sales in IL weeks to $1,358.
His Identification is a little lapel

Don had to use any persuasion or
explanation of the merit of buying
share in ones country. With most
customers, however, it is just a
case of being reminded, he said.
Some people take their change in
war stamps and others set aside a
specified sum for the purpose.
Don is so convinced of the merit
of investing in his country that he
buys two dollars in stamps each
week now having q total of three
bonds and almost a, fourth bond.
He is a member of Boy Scout
troop No. 56 and considers the
stamps and bond selling one of the
good turns that scouts do daily.
Asked if he planned to sell the
bonds and stamps for fthe duration
of the war, Don replied Immediately
"You bet / do and I'll continue after
the war if they continue to sell
them"

ing were Bill Amstutz, Robert ober-
". John Schmidt and Bill Mericle'
The scouts will receive their Eagle
badges at a Court of Honor to be
held in Lima in the middle of Sep

The merit badges included: Firs1
aid, life saving, personal health, pub
lie health, cooking camping, civics
bird study, pathfnding, safety, pion
eering, athletics plus nine merit
badges of their own choosing.
In the history of local scouting, i

Red Cross Asks For
Services OF Women

Bluffton women are urgently re-
quested to volunteer their services
in the new Red Cross unit engaged
in making army surgical dressings,
it was stated this week by Mrs. j.
S. Steiner, director of supplies.
The new branch of the Red Cross,
located in the kindergarten room of
the grade school building, opened last
Thursday with a good response on
the part of the Bluffton women, it
was stated.
The room will be open every week
from Tuesday through Friday after
moons from 2 to o'clock. The new
branch will likely be in operation for
the duration of the war, it was stat
ed.
Bluffton has a quota of 5000
bandages to make for the month of
August, Mrs. Steiner said.
There is a likelihood that the new
branch will open one evening week
if there is sufficient demand from
the working women. Women em-
ployed during the day, who wish to
volunteer their services for night
work are asked to communicate with
Mrs. Steiner or Mrs. A. ]. B. Longs

teract the acidity of the soil IN this
state.
After the proper soil condition has
been reached, it will take at least
100000 tons annually to keep the
soil sweet. Even this amount is con-
siderably more than the present out
put of Ohio quarrjes.
Soil DEPLETED
The constant tapping of water
travelling down through the soil and
the hungry reaches of plant roots
and other factors connected with
Ohio crop production in the past 70
years have depleted the original
store of lime in the surface of the
soil.
Even in Northwestern Ohio where
large deposits of limestone are un-
derground for quarrying, the sur
face soil has been badly depleted of
necessary lime, it has been pointed
out by the state agricultural experts.
All leguminous types of crops must
have lime and corn, wheat, oats
barley, rye, cabbage, tomatoes, and
sugar beets produce larger yields on
soils where lime has been applied
Lime increases the effect fertilizers
have in helping crop yields, it was
stated by state agricultural experts
SHOULD TEST Soil
Farmers should not assume that
all soil will benefit by the applica
ton of lime because there is some
cropland that does not need thi!
plant food and soil conditioner. Thi!
can be determined by soil testing
it was pointed out.
Many farmers here are obtaining
the lime under the federal AAA pro
gram for which the price of tn
lime is deducted when the farme
receives his payment. Other farm
ers have been purchasing the lin
individually, Conrad stated.
The increased production of tn
Bluffton company requires the serv
: ices of IL men despite the fact tha
the firm has the latest labor saving
machinery. In addition to Conra
: workers are: Charles Conrad, Gar
: net Foltz, Henry and William Schit
: ferly, Dale and Gerald Tripplehorr
Y Frank McElroy, Otto Klay. In ad
dition to these employees there ar
several drillers who work most 0
S the time.
Officers of the corporation are

Bluffton Stone Co., viii Sell
$4,000 Tons of Product to
Farmers Here
Firm is Licensed by State for
New Business Because of
High Lime Test

With Bluffton limestone contain
ing the proper proportions of mag
nesium and calcium for agricultural
application, the Bluffton Stone Co.
is experiencing a greatly expanding
volume of business in the production
and sale of agricultural lime.
Since the state department of ag-
riculture and the federal AAA or
ganization have been urging farm
ers to use lime to increase crop pro-
duction, the local firm is having a
demand so extensive that it has been
difficult to take care of all of the
orders.
MILL INSTALLED
Until this year the firms biggest
business was in road building stone
but since the installation of a spe
cial mill in 1941, the agricultural
limestone business has far outshad
owed all other lines.
On the basis OF present demand:
the firm will likely do a minimum
business of $4,000 tons of the pul
verized stone product, it was states
by Raymond Conrad, manager of tn
company.
Not all quarries can engage in thi
business because their stone doe
not meet state requirements of a
least an so per cent content of ca
cium and magnesium. The ston
here consistently tests 92 to 99l
per cent content for these two elt
ments, Conrad said.
STONE TESTED
The stone is tested at regular il
tervals by the state agricultural d'
partment after which a license is il
sued qualifying the stone compan
to sell its product to farmers.
With the demand for the lime so
conditioner increasing, the prospect
for the firm are very bright, Conra
pointed out. Ohio quarries were alb
to supply only one million and
half tons last year while state al
ricultural experts pointed out thu
28,000,000 tons are needed to cou1
