In MemOriam

In loving memory of our mother
Mrs. Elizabeth Amstutz who passed
away one year ago.
One year has passed dear mother,
But our hearts are just the same.
Many a silent tear has fallen
At the mention of your name.
Some may think we are not lonely
When at times they see us smile,
Little do they know the heartache
That we suffer all the while.
God knows how much we miss you;
Never shall your memory fade,
Loving thoughts shall always linge1
At the spot where you were laid.
Sadly missed by the Children and
Grandchildren.

PENIC1LLIN CHECK-UP
(Hartford Courant9

According to DR.. Chester s.
Keefer of Boston, civilian alloca.
tor of penicillin, a great deal of
fresh scientific data has been -ac-
cumulated as to the nature of and
the permissible usese for, the won
der drug, penicillin, nowadays con-
tinually in the news. 1t Is natural
~ essential for scientists and physi-
clans to know the limitations of
penicillin as well as its uses. Its
astounding ef1icaciouS properties in
the treatment Of venereal disease
have already been established. DR..
Keefer declares that it is the best
remedy hitherto found for combat
ing gonococcus, mening ococcuS and
staphylococcus. It is also effective
in destroying some Of the strepto-
cocci and pnellmonococcci.
Penicillin Is likewise an aid in
the treatment of tetanus, dyph-
iberia, some Of the pneumoniaS and
a great many complex infections
induced by the above-named germs,
but it is just as important for med
ical men to know what it is not
good for. It has now been proved
that 1t cannt be used for influenza,
typhoid or partyphoid fevers, tul-
aremia. bubonic plague. cholera,
whooping cough. tuberculosis, nor
any Of the already recognized virus
diseases. Most important Of all,
when the germs once get into the
human heart valves, penicillin loses
most Of its curative powers. Thus
is science effectively checking up on
the properties Of penicillin, the
wonder drug Of the Twentieth Gen.
tury.

Probable, but Not Likely

According to the Washington outlook
at this time the next President of the
United States will be either Roosevelt or
Dewey. Perhaps this is the first time in
the history of the United States that the
leading candidates of the two great par
ties have kept silent and have waited for
the draft" from their National conven-
tons.
There is a good deal of talk about GER
tain tests, including foreign policies,
as the chief issues for the coming politi-
cal campaign. Some of the best writer's
and analysts for the newspapers indicate
that domestic issues will have to take
second place with problems that have
and will arise with reference to the war;
However, the opinion of the National
Capital may not be any better than it is
at Smiths or Browns crossroads out in
the country in any state. In other words,
your guess may be as good as Congress
mans. In fact, there is reason to believe
that President Roosevelt may not run.

Waiting for the Score

At various times, the Bureau of Labor
Statistics, the CLIO and the OPA have
made exhaustive studies of the cost OF
living. All have come up with different
answers. Yet the findings of each have
been presented with such authority, with
such an absence of ifs, ands, or butts, that
a suspicion arose that they decided first
what they wanted to find and then made
the findings conform.
To settle the cost-of-living question
once and for all, the President appointed
a committee, headed by Chairman Will
liam H. Davis of the War Labor Board,
to make definitive report on the subject.
Now Mr. Davis has appointed an advisory
committee to sift the conflicting informa-
ton brought in by the Presidents COM
mittee.
It is to be hoped that from this final
report may come reasonable and agree
able answer. The country will find it
easier to join in a hearty exhortation to
''Hold that line" if everyone knows what
the score is.
