Knox, Attorney Spate of FRANCIS J, AICHER, Deceased, - Notice is hereby given to all perssns that Monday, March 4th, 1940, is the claim date in the estate of FRANCIS J. AICHER, Deceased pending in the County Court of McHenry County, Illinois, and that claims may be filed against the said estate on or before said date without issuance of summons. ^ ANNABEL M. AICHER, j Executrix. \X7HEN we think of carbuncle we ** have in mind a number ol boils occurring in a group. Apparently a little infection or boil starts at the bottom of a hair root, approaches the skin surface, and for some reason cannot get through at first. The infection then travels beneath the skin to the next hair and again approaches the surface. This happens a number of times so that there may be as many as six or more boils all ready to break through the skin in what appears to be one large lump. Physicians and surgeons are very careful in their treatment of carbuncles, particularly about the face, as the. poisons imprisoned may prove dangerous to life if carried to distant parts, particularly the brain. X-Rays Prove Valuable. Dr. F. W. O'Brien, Boston, in the New England Journal of Medicine, points out that the death rate among 130 hospital patients with severe carbuncle receiving X-ray treatment alone or together with surgery was 3 per cent. There were no deaths among 57 patients with carbuncle on the face treated with the X-ray alone. There was no evidence that the diabetic patient, in whom carbuncles are common, could not undergo X-ray treatment safely. The patients who were treated early, only by X-rays, recovered in a shorter time than did the others who were treated by surgery, or by surgery and X-ray. It is certainly gratifying to learn that another distressing and at times dangerous ailment is being treated so successfully by X-rays When first the X-rays were discovered their usefulness was to make sure that a bone was broken or to locate some object in the stomach or other organs and tissues. A point that must be remembered, however, is that X-ray is now a specialty in medicine, just as any other specialty. It does not consist in just taking pictures. It requires knowledge and skill to interpret the findings and to know exactly how much of the X-ray to prescribe, and the distance and angle from the skin surface. The disappointments in treatment may be due, in many cases, to unskilled operators. (Released by W«it»m Newspaper Union.) 'I i i ,m» ver, Colorado, on Monday afternoon Hon. R.

The camera was first set for "time" and the -r-- shutter opened. above is a "flash shot." First, the camera was placed just the right distance from the dog, while he slept under the kitchen stove. The shutter was set for a "time" exposure. Then the photographer turned off the kitchen lights -- opened the camera shutter--made a loud noise to awaken the dog-- andj flashed the flash bulb. Then it was necessary merely to close the shutter and wind the film for the next shot. Thus, you see, you don't have to have a synchronizer for flash shots, although it's a convenient device. Indoors, you can use the flash bulb in any electric socket. Make sure, of course, that the light switch iaL In the "off" position before you insert the bul-b. For flash pictures, either chrome film or high speed film can be used, but you must have the light at the right distance from the subject. s Pets are excellent subjects for indoor shots--and it would be fun, this winter, to make a collection of pictures showing your pet's antics and activities. No two pictures will be alike--and their interest never wanes. Try It and see. £EW albums contain enough pictures of the family pet--the dog, kitten, parrot, or whatever animal companion you have. However, with a little patience and strategy, such shots are not difficult to get--and they certainly add Interest and variety to your picture collection. For a good picture ol the pet, you need a large image--and here 18 where the portrait attachment comes in. Slip one of these on the camera lens, and you can take pictures with a box camera as near as 8 tfeet to the subject Even nearer, If yours Is a focusing model ahd | you use the attachment Naturally, you'll pick a moment when the pet is quiet Bait is helpful. For example, % saucer of milk to tempt the cat. Put the milk in tlje chosen spot, under your photo . lights--place the camera exactly the right distance away from the saucer--and as soon as the pet '< takes the bait, you're ready to | shoot. For shots with photo bulbs ; of, the "flood" type, load the cam era with high speed film.

LISTON, SUMMER RESIDENT, DEAD Local friends will be sorry to learn of the untimely and sudden death of Edward P .Liston of Chicago who has owned a summer home in Mineral Springs for many years. During the months he spent in this vicinity, Mr. Liston was an active member of the Friendly East River Road Improvement association. Taken by death Friday, January 19, he was the beloved husband of Mathilda and the brother of Mrs. Mamie Hedberg, Mrs. Hazel Joss and James Liston. (Funeral services were held Monday, January 22, at 10:30 a. m., from Queen of Angels church, Chicago. He attended St. Patrick's church in this city during his stays her*. Chicago Memorial hospital where he had been confined for the past several weeks. Mr. Sherman and his wife, Louisa A. Sherman, 81 years old, came into the limelight in the circuit court at Woodstock some time ago when the latter filed suit for divorce. After several hearings in court, no final settlement was made. It is said that the romance which lasted for more than fifty-two years of wedded life ended in death and not divorce as Mrs. Sherman was at the bedside of her husband during the last week or more.
